JOHNSON DENIES STORY
Hon. Gone johnson Denies That He
Ever Advocated Placing White
Teachers In Negro Schools.

Hon. Cone Johnson, in his speech
at Corsicana, denied as base SANDER
the story that he had ever advocated
the placing of white teachers in negro
Johnson's personal denial of the story,
his neighbors have made the following
statement:
State of Texas, County of Smith.
The attention of the undersigned
having been called to a statement by
Senator Bailey, in his speech at Luf-
kin and other places, that in an adj
dress at Hopewell, in Smith county,
Hon. Cone Johnson advocated white
persons teaching negro schools, we
positively denounce said charge as
false And each of us makes the fol-
lowing statement under oath:
Hon. Cone Johnson delivered an adj
dress upon the subject of education at
Hopewell, in Smith county, on July 4,
1907, and in our opinion this is the ad-
dress which Senator Bailey refers to
and misrepresents. Each of us re-
sided in the Hopewell community at
that time and heard Mr.. Johnson's
speech on that occasion. Mr.. John
son did not in that address advocate
or favor the teaching of negro schools
by white people; and he said nothing
which could with any reason be claim
ed to have any such meaning. His
speech was warmly approved by the
people who heard it, and if he had
advocated or favored white people
teaching negro schools we are sure
that his speech would not have been

favored any such thing, either public
ly or privately on any occasion,
neither of us ever heard of it until
