THE JEFFERSONIAN

WHlCc pIIudIy! tie uO0Su 0X1SC,
the politicians who drafted and en-
acted your election laws were too
sharp to make law that would catch
them on the criminal side of the
court.
So bold have these violators of law
and decency grown since 1902, when
Thos. w. Hardwick broke the ice,
that bankers and professional men
deem it personal honor to be the
custodians and dispensers of the cor
ruption fund, and half-drunken
young men have been seen to ap-
proach old gray-haired veterans and
ministers of the gospel at the polls,
and ask them if they "did not want
a drink of Hardwick liquor"
Isn't it timely and right for some
man to publicly oppose such methods,
and by opposing enable the law-abid-
ing electorate to file at the polls in
November their condemnation of the
lawlessness which prevails in white
primaries? Unless check is put upon
such open violation of law and de-
cency it will increase to such an
extent that virtue will have to apollo
giZe to vice for it's existence.
Every decent white man in the
Tenth Congressional District regret
ted the corruption, produced by the
use of money and whiskey, among
the negroes in the elections of the
9O's. BY almost common consent the
white primaries were established
with, the hope and belief that the
elimination of the negro would cure
the evil.
Well, Cuffee was put aside, and for
fear bad politicians would continue,
by the use of money and whiskey, to
control him in the general elections,
a chisement law was put upon
Cuffee. Oh we were determined to
have clean elections, after we got rid
of Cuffee. Well, Cuffee is supposed
to have been completely eliminated
for several years past, and it takes
more money to get political nom
nation through white primary now
than it did to buy the Office when
Cuffee was marketable!
Believing there are thousands of
white men in the Tenth Congressional
District, who supported the white
primary and Acknowledgement laws
for the sole purpose of purifying our
dreds Of fathers, mothers and wives
in the Tenth Congressional District
whose heart-strings have been atuned
to melancholy by the debauchery Of
their sons and husbands through the
lawless use of money and whiskey
on election days; believing that a
consecrated ministry cannot success
fully preach spiritual righteousness
to congregation devoid of civic
righteousness, l offer my candidacy
to them as protest against the VIOLA
ton of the civic and moral law in our
elections.
My election or non-election is of
secondary Importance to the great
question involved: Shall corruption,
lawlessness and drunkenness over
ride law. order, decency and sobriety
at the elections in the Tenth Con-
gressional District? Shall we return
to the corrupt, lawless methods
which prevailed in the COS, or shall
we exercise our individual sovereign
ity and cast the evil doors aside?

baseball season and the football season
next fall will be two Of the greatest that
the university has ever had. This morn
ing the management of the baseball team
gave out the full spring list of dates, and
enough has been learned of next years

will have TO have a greater team than
usual to keep up her record of victories.
There is a striking innovation in the
baseball line that will attract attention
wherever this schedule is read For the
first time in the history of athletics here
teams from the big leagues will be seen
In action on the campus. And these teams
that are scheduled to meet the Alabama
