representation in the State Senate
that is given the county of Halifax
with its IL. 922 whites. And it must b e.
noted that Mr.. Stuart adopted ard rat
flied this outrageous discrimination
against his own people. whereby one
white man in Halifax county hiss been
valued at more than three times as
much as a White man in the counties of
Buchanan, Dickinson. Russell and Taze-
well.
Another illustration: The two coun-
ties of Amherst and Nelson are made a
Senatorial district. They have 1910
white inhabitants and -, 729 colored.
They are given one State Senator and
two members of the House of Dele
gates.
The three great counties of Scott,
Lee and Wise are made the Second Sem
storial District. In 1900 these counties
had IS, 81 white people and 1881 color
ed inhabitants. These counties are Civ
en- one Senator and 2-3 members of the
House of Delegates.
The superintendent which was adopt-
ed into the Constitution with the aid of
Mr.. Stuart has thus given the white
men Of Amherst and Nelson three times
as much value as is given to the white
men of Scott, Lee and Wise.
Now as to the superintendent into
house districts.
The little county of Appomatox 1.-THE
home Of Hal Flood, big Machine mani
with 5,7Sl whites and 1851 blacks. is
given q member of the House of Dele
gates. The great white counties of
buchanan and Tazewell are made into
one house district and are given one
member. These two counties in 1900
had %, 4s9 white population alone. So.
Mr.. Stuart's spportionment (for he has
adopted and ratified it, gives one white
man in Appomatox more than five
times the value of that given a white
man in Buchanan and Tazewell. 1t even
makes a disfrsnchised negro in Apo
matox equivalent to three white men in
Buchanan and Tazewell counties in the
apportionment of representation.

Rockingham county (the home of
Barney Keezle, the ringster of the Val
ley) with white population of 80, 1876
Is given two members and Senator.
Now let's see what this legislative
apportionment, so just and precious
that Mr.. Stuart helped to adopt it into
the Constitution, has done for the coun-
ties in MIR. Stuart's, the Ninth Con-
gressional District.
