called Republican officers, and they
know whom to select.
HE CUTS NO FIGURE.

Governor Noel of Mississippi re-
Gently gave out the following CUFF to
Washington reporter:
mississippi is governed by the
white man, although the majority of
the population is composed of Ne
groes. The Negro cuts no figure in
our politics, and he is perfectly sat
listed with existing conditions. The
Jim crow law is in operation and
works to perfection. There are few
white people who can govern the Ne
gro, and we are one of them, and we
intend to govern in our State"
Just how he found out that the
Afro-American els perfectly satisfied
with existing conditions" he fails to
state. 1t would seem a priori that it
is a very easy matter to govern any
people who are perfectly satisfied with
existing conditions, but the governor
strongly intimates that it is not
that it is a thing that few white
people can do. We should like for
the governor to state how the white
Republicans who are in the same box
with the Afro-Americans, feel about
existing conditions. Are they also
"perfectly satisfed?" =.

SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1908.
TO PRESERVE White SU-
PREMACY.

"The Democratic party has had
complete control of the State govern
ment since 1900, and yet, in the con-
duct of the election, Republicans have
an equal voice with the Democrats,
the number of Republican election
judges and clerks being exactly equal
to that Of the Democratic judges and
clerks. And, more than this, the Re-
publican officials are selected by the
Republican party and are bona-fide
Republicans, and not one vote can be
counted anywhere in the State unless
Republican official assents to it..
There are laws on our statute books
intended to disfranchise i11iterate
blacks in certain counties and pre-
serve white supremacy, but their con-
stitutionality is not questioned, and
they are defended as necessary to the
prosperity and good government of
those sections"
The Baltimore Sun gives the fore
going statement Of political condi-
lions in Maryland. But such condi.
tons do not generally prevail even in
those states whose laws provide for
an equal division Of judges and clerks
among the political parties. In most
OF them the Democrats select the so.
