SENATOR CULLOM
WOULD DISFRANCHISE
NEGROES OF SOUTH
VETERAN LAW-MAKER SAYS THAT
1T WOULD BE BETTER FOR
WHITE MEN.
FROM ROCK BOU D REPUBLICAN
Illinois Statesman, Who Has Advo-
Gated Every Measure Aimed at the
South Now Sees the Error Of His
Way-Makes Strong Plea.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-"Eliminate
the negro from politics in the South.
Give that section of the country an
exclusively white ballot, or a franchise
amendment which shall mean absolute
and unequivocal white supremacy in
the management of its whole affairs,
and there is not a State below Mason
and Dixon's line which will not be
found in the Republican column of the
Electoral College"
There would be nothing remarkable
in the words above quoted but for the
identity of the man who spoke them
in an interview this afternoon with the
Washington Times. 1t was no less
than a Republican leader of national
prominence who spoke them-Senator
Cullom, of Illinois, who until this ut
terance, has been regarded as a par
tisan Republican ready to take any
advantage of the Southern people po-
litically He voted for every measure
proposed which was force bill or was
aimed at the reduction of political
power by the Southern States. He is
the first Republican in public life who
has been bold enough to advocate the
elimination of the negro vote.
1.-THE whole truth of the situation"
said Senator Cullom, lis that the
South believes in and really needs the
enforcement of the Republican doc
trine of a protectice tariff. There
fore. the people of that section would
like to vote in behalf of candidates
Congressional national and State
who would support such a policy. But
they are held in leash, so to speak, by
the fear of negro domination, the fear
of colored men in Office, both of the
elective class and those appointed at
Washington.
"Thev are afraid of the race issue;
there can be no doubt of that. They
are constantly in state OF excite
ment over the prospect OF a colored
vote of superior numbers, and natural
" they cling together against the
black man as a matter of protection'
not of their industrial interests, but OF
their personal affairs.

ator Cullom. chat if the negro were
not factor in politics in the South

INTERURBAN TO
HAVE NEW DEPOT

FRANKLIN, Tenn, Nov. 4.-The
Nashville interurban railway has made
another forward step here. 1t has
rented the first floor of The Review
Appeal building, on the public square
and will at once open passenger sta
tons there, separate apartments for
white and colored people, and also
provide an express depot. The sta-
ton is right at the end of the car

The company is doing heavy busi

to prove on his finai trial that Roberts
was killed In self-defense.
For the defense It was proved that
there was one empty shell In the PTS
toll which was found by the side Of
Roberts. However, one witness swore
that this was an old shell and did not
appear to have been hred recently.
Opposing counsel consumed much
time today in objections and argu-
will result in bitter legal warfare.
Every witness for the State WAS put

PROTECTION IS CRITICISED
Mr.. Kitehin Speaks on Lumber
Schedule.
Mr.. vreeIand Of New York Declares
There 10 an Erroneous Public
View Of the Tramc

Washington, March 30.--The tagging
interest in the tariff discussion was
manifest today when 1t was observed
that but dozen members were in their
seats on the converting Of the House
and that for the most part these were
the ones scheduled to speak.
There was such an emptiness in the
House that when the Speaker protein.
Mr.. Perkins. called the body to order,
the sound of his gavel echoed and re-
echoed throughout the chamber.
Today's debate was opened by Mr..
Cox (O.), who pleaded for a reduction
in the duties on sewing machines. BIZ
cycles and computing scales. He ar
gued that by reason of the favored ma
tion clause Germany was enabled to
manufacture and ship sewing machines
and bicycles into Russia France and
other countries at about half the tar
in imposed on the same articles OF
American manufacture. Because OF
this fact the American manufacturer
was handicapped in extending his for
eign trade.
Unless the tariff was reduced, he said,
the manufacturers of the products men,
toned would be forced to build facto-
ries abroad which would result IN
throwing out of employment in this
country many skilled workmen. The
maximum and minimum feature of the
bill, he declared to be not worth the
paper It was written on. and in con-
sequence would not relieve the situae
ton.
Referring to various witnesses be-
Mr.. Cox said:
Lust for Gain and Gold,
"A protection tariff inspires such a
lust for gain and gold that these men
come here and swear their souls down
to the gates of hell in order to get
Government license to rob the peo-
pie"
Dwelling on the theory that Presi-
dent Taft would not be intensely par
tisan on the tariff. Mr.. Cox declared
that in the future public opinion based
on the results of the tariff bill would
be either confirmatory of that theory
or the view would gain ground that
the administration with Theodore
Roosevelt far away has resumed the
old beaten paths Of the Republican Par
ty."
Mr.. Hughes lGa.) contended that
the history of tariff legislation was
zone continuous performance OF trag-
edy for the farmers.

is a revision downward and not up.
