the tendency among manufacturers has been to

While the garment manufacturing industry
as a whole has been successful. the task both ot
producers and Distributors Of such merchandise
has been rendered vastly more difficult Added
to the enhanced cost OF fabrics and other ma.

encountered increased uncertainty to the cut
and form that would meet with favor Today
the styles change rapidly, and what to make o.
what TO buy Is a problem which constantly
taxes the abilities and Judgment OF all those
connected with this branch of the trade. As
already suggested, however, these difficulties
offset to considerable extent by the
greater consumption and by the higher prices
which can now be obtained.

that proposed by Gov. Vardaman-
Gov. Vardaman's proposition is to re-
peal the fifteenth amendment.
My proposition was and is. to make
an issue for a decision by the supreme
court of the United States, as to the
validity of the fifteenth amendment,
this question never having been be-
fore, or 5ecided by the court. Gov.
Vardaman's plan involves the adn'ds-
sion of the validity OF the fifteenth
amendment, and seeks its repeal by
the political department of the feder-
al and state governments. Ny con-
tentiOn is that the fifteenth amend
ment was neither conStitutionally rati-
fed by the requisite number of states,
is therefore invalid, and, consequently,
not part of the federal constitution.
Ny contention is supported by au-
thentic records, and the very highest
authority, and my position is en-
dorsed by some of the ablest lawyers
and statesmen in the country, to
whom | have submitted my brief on
this great question
Gov. Vardaman proposes a repeal of
the fifteenth amendment, by the poIit-
ical departments OF the government.
Those departments are largely actuat-
ed and controlled by sentiment, preju-
dice, malice, or political interest, or
all
My proposition denies the validity of
the fifteenth amendment and makes
an issue for the determination of this
momentOus question by the supreme
court of the United States, which is
supposed to be controlled only by law
and facts.
Gov. Vardaman's plan makes purely
a political question; mine purely a
judicial question. If those who criti-
else this resolution, introduced by me.
and which passed the senate, will
take the senate journal of April II,
