RADICAL STEP
TAKEN IN TEXAS
Republican Party Tears
Away from Negro
Organizations

Under the leadership of j. O. Terrell
of San Antonio, a native Texan, the
republican party of this state has taken
the most radical step attempted by a
political organization in many years.
The keynote of Judge Terrel's adj
dress at Dallas was his declaration
that the party was free from negro
domination or influence and while an
attitude of justice towards the negro
race would be maintained at all times,
the party was controlled by white men
for white men. Credit is given to Col.
Cecil A. Lyon, state chairman of the
Republican Executive Committee.
Such an announcement five years
ago would have been suicidal to politi
cal ambitions of any man in republican
ranks in Texas. That the enunciation
was cheered heartily and commended
enthusiastically by the delegates at the
Dallas Convention shows the change
wrought in Texas in the past few
years.
The cry of the republicans from now
on will be that the party is truly a
white mans party Every citizen of
Texas will be invited in with the as
surance that the support Of the repub-
lican candidates will not mean the en-
enlargement of negro domination or
have the least effect on the race cues
ton.
In Judge Terrells address these are
most characteristic expressions
"Texas is coming into its own; 10
longer dominated by an alien race, but
controlled by white men for white
men.
"The republican party has not
ceased to ask justice for the negro
race, and will see that he gets it.
However, the reins of government
must and will remain in the hands OF
the white race.
This declaration leaves the negroes
without party in Texas. They are
invited to affiliate with the republican
party, guaranteed justice and falr
treatment but are told frankly and
plainly that the party has cut loose
from them as far as they are domi-
mating political infeunce.
The step was suggested because it is
desired to draw into the party the
thousands of farmers and others from
the Central States who have settled in
Texas within the past three years.
Nearly all of these are republicans.
There are but 10000 qualified negro
votes in Texas Should the party loose
good PERCENTAGE of this vote it
would be more than offset by the
great number of new corners who will
affiliate with white mans party.
At the convention at Dallas there
were but six negro delegates. These
were accorded seats on the convention
floor at the rear of the hall and took
no part in the proceedings beyond re-
Clustering their votes.

After this racy exposition the writer
goes on to show that power companies

These propositions seem reasonable.

Already tho crypt OF the Notre Dame
de Paris is full of water. But with
the cry of human suffering ringing in
the ears OF the world. 1t seems like a
travesty OF sympathy to bewail the
danger OF Venus de Milo, or the stony
saints of Notro Dame. The great
cathedral. however. embodies a truly
human appeal to the thousands of
American travellers who have stood be-
meath Its mighty arches 1t Is the
embodiment of the best aspirations of
French democracy. springing with null
titudinous spires and buttresseS from
the heart of the city. and piercing the
sky with towers and fleche, 1t has
withstood the tumult OF the Revolution
and outlived the paradoxioal reign of
reason AS great a manifestation IL
is OF the powers of nature swelling
beyond all ordinary bounds as Is the
flooded Seine Itself, For almost eight
centuries 1t has reflected back to man
the inspiration and faith that gave it
birth. The entire gamut of human ma
ture finds voice in Its silent stone. The
pointed arches spring in religious ex-
ultation. and the pride and vainglory
of man call to the world In the Devil of
Notre Dame leering triumphantly
across the flooded city. Nothing can
befall tho great achievement of nature
herself Rather Will the twenty-four
kings of Israel standing in dignity
upon the west facade, rebuke the insen-
safe water. and the tide will retreat
from beneath the thrones OF the more
truly regal Canutes.
