NEGRO ISSUE WAS UP
Discussed at a Convention at
Nashville by Some Men of
the South.
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS WRITES
Sees Hope in a Decreasing Negro
Birth Rate-Thompson's Sug.
gegtion: Send Them to
Panama.

Nashville. Tenn, Nov. IA. = The
southern quarantine and immigration
convention, which has assumed its new
title of Southern immigration and In
dustrial association, concluded its bust
ness, the closing session being devoted
to the reading of several papers on
pertinent topics. During the day ses-
sion letter vas read from John Sharp
Williams, in which he expressed the
belief that the solution of the race
question might be found in a pre-
concerted effort TO bring white people
of tho right sort into the south as
servants. tenants and farmers. He ad-
vocated the formation of Il land com
pany with q capital of at least ST.
100000. to buy lands throughout the
cotton states and sell them on time to
desirable immigrants.
Hopeful" Phase of the Case.
A hopeful sign, Williams said, is the
fact that the negro birth rate in the
country is decreasing very remarkably,
" hile the birth rate of the white PEG
pie in the gulf states is the largest
anywhere in the world. Williams rec
commended the establishment of a
mounted rural police after the Cape
Colony and Canadian system. The po-
litical phase of the negro problem we
have pretty we'll worked out to an APP
proximately satisfactory issue" he
went on to say, and recommended a
limitation of the franchise to the white
race.
Makes Predictions of the North.
He prophesied that similar action
would be taken generation hence in
Illinois. Indiana and Ohio. He also
favored the rigid enforcement of va
grancy laws and said that if the negro
would not work he must get out of
the field The importation of desirable
white Immigrants, not only from for
eign countries but from the north
was also suggested in the letter.
Would Allure Him to Panama.

New York, Nov. 14-B. B. Odell. ex-
governor and ex-chairman of the state
Republican committee, said that the
management Of the Republican state
campaign was the most asinine" he
ever knew. The whole state ticket, he
said, might just az we'll have been
elected. AS the result stands it looks
like Democratic victory, and leaves
the Republicanparty in bad shape with
a national campaign coming on. The
Republicans. he declared, made no CAM
paign at all, but put 1t all on Mr..
Hughes shoulders.
Ex-Chairman Was Ignored.
Il heard absolutely nothing" said
Odell, about any state campaign up
my way. We didn't know there was a

My advice was never asked once. Many
of my friends all over the state had
the same experience. Even when Mr..
Hughes was touring my county l was
not notified or consulted. l wasn't in
formed of the smallest details"
Shouldn't Have Butted In.
Continuing. Odell said: THE people
of this state have always resented the
interference of a president of the Unit
ed States in their local elections. They
have done so since the days of Dewitt
Clinton. l think that the interference
of President Roosevelt did more harm
than good l realize now that l made
n mistake when l accepted the chair

fetal and outside interference in their
local political affairs That is why
say that the interference of President
Roosevelt in the last campaign did
more harm than good.
Bryan and Hearst a Strong Team.
Il do not wish to appear in the role
OF general critic of the conduct of the
campaign, but so far as ! can make
out there was TO real campaign. We
/ should have stood for many of the
things that Mr. Hearst advocated, like
| the eight-hour law, the three platoon
/ system for the police and fremen. -
Odell said that Hearst was greatly
strengthened as a political factor by
his campaign, ard that while he might
not be elected president he was now
a man to be recEoned with in the fu-
ture. He said that 4 combination Of
Bryan and Hearst would be a hard
one for the Republicans to beat.

At the close of the Ideals season for 1SS4-85
Miss Ober gave up the management and made over
her rights to her general agent, W. H. Foster Of
Boston For the next season Foster reengaged
all the best-known principals except Myron W.
Whitney. who returned to oratoro and concert.
These included George rockingham, the we'll

prina donna soprano to Marie Stone Mile. Zelie de
Lussan OF Brooklyn, and Miss Agnes Huntington of
Kalamazoo, Michigan, for years q resident of Dres-
den where she had been a favorite pupil of the
younger Lamperti. Miss Huntington was the prima

Davis's Chicago Church Choir Company, Western
organization in which were C. S Clark Ada Somers,
Jessie Bartlett Davis, and John McWade.
Rival for the Ideals
FOR two seasons the Ideals made money; then
friction appeared. resulting in decision by Karl,
Macdonald. and myself to form a separate organ
ization wherein good singing and the production
Of really meodic operas and operettas should rank
as essentials. Foster had full legal right to the
name Boston Ideals and the production of several
operas that had proved profitable; but the
venture started with all the best traditions Of the old
and with the originals Of the company who had
grown into public favor.
The name was settled one evening in Louisville,
at a dinner given by Colonel Henry Watterson, who
suggested Bostonians fitting and recalling the
former regime. Miss Ober, who had married Virgil

in all cities of the United States and Canada Soci
engagements were SO numerous that only com

causing loss to the operas themselves The friends OF
the members of the company included people
and politics to religion and art, and the Bostoni
ans counted among their faithful patrons thou

think OF attending a modern musical extravaganza
than they would a variety performance, and even
people from the far rural districts, who never
attended theaters and did not know that the
