A COARSE DEMOCRATIC TRICK.

Haskell's resolution introduced
in the Democratic constitutional
convention TO send Delegate Hopkins
to Washington to find out what
President Roosevelt will do with the
constitution If the Democrats put in
Jim Crow provisions. is the coars-
est and cheapest trick yet born In
that confederate gathering.
1t is an insult to the president to
undertake such clumbsy trick. and
Is as impolite and unprofessional as
il would be 10 go to a judge and
seek by some trick or device to get
his opiLion in advance on some law
suit or motion pending before him.
Unfortunately, such practices have
gone SO long in this country, and
many times have won, that the con-
science OF some men have become
blunted and they fling decency and
honor into the gutter.
If Hopkins was not in favor of
these things, and was not the tool of
Haskell, he would have instantly
denounced the resolution as a brutal
outrage. unbecoming any citizen OF
the state, let alone sworn delegate
to constitutional convention.
The longer these things runs the
more disrespect and contempt these
men bring upon the state and them
selves.

vantage to the Democrats, and will

the Democracy, is getting ready for
the next battle and, as usual. they
are training their guns on the negro.
