Negro a Political Football.
Concluding, he said

COncluQ1ng, he SAID.
'The Negro has been used as po
litical football about as long as our
own sense of decency and his develop.
ing intelligence will permit. We may
dispense with the perennial distribu-
tion of soothing syrup and give them
solid food in the way of facts.
"The Negro is beginning to realize
that the white man of the North is of
the same race as the white man of the
South and that in his blood is the
virus of dominion and power. He
should know that while his slave
chains have been broken the chains
of industry are being forged around
him and will continue to hold him un-
less he himself can break them. This
badge was placed upon him by his
Maker, and it can be removed only by
the Negro himself The truth is that
we have the power to guarantee to
him equal protection of the law and to
protect him against discrimination.
when the exigencies of debate are
over it will be found that no measure
will be offered in the senate to pro-
tect any supposed right of the Colored
man anywhere. In the constitution is
the universal rule of equality, the only
rule under which we can legislate.
1--WE have not the power to dictate
to the states as to the qualifications of
their representatives. 1t is for the
states to say whether they will send
representatives at ALL"
Senator Borah is no doubt right in
what he says concerning the insincer-
ity of some of the men. but we do not
think the federal government should

and capable men on the ticket
probably more. Men were sue
cessful whom we had no idea
could win and men were defeated
whom we anticipated would run
high; such is politics. We are
glad that out of the eight there
are at least five good, desirable
men. c. s. Gibbs, the Colored
candidate, received much high
er vote than many of the prom
inent and well known business
men. but nothing like he might
have received. For c. E. Wyatt
only to receive 70 votes is some
thing astounding. 1t is possible
that there was some misunder-
standing, and hundreds of votes
east for candidates were thrown
out. A number of voters thought
that they could only vote for one
and vote legally, but we under
stand that all ballots where less
than four were voted for, such
ballots were invalidated. We do
not know the truthfulness of this
matter, but we do know that
many people voted for only one
and two. 1t was thought that
Seeley and Schnepp would be the
nominees. Now it is up to the
Colored men to use diplomacy and
help elect the best men out of the
ten. We should not be keeping
up a graet noise, but find out the
policies of the best men and what
they really stand for, and then
help to land them. There are
good men on the ticket. but we
must be assured that these "good
men" believe that all men have
rights and are entitled to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness
before we vote for them in pref
erence to others on the ticket.
Mayor John S. Schnepp has
made what is called a good busi-
ness administration, but he seems
to be imbued with the false idea
that Negroes should not receive
their proportionate ratio of pat
ronage, and for that fact it seems
that the Negroes are justly alien
ated from him. But how the Col
ored vote will go in the fight for
Mayor remains for awhile to be
seen. 1t is generally understood
that the Colored vote will go 95
per cent for Seeley. There were
a goodly number for Payton in
preference to Seeley for the nom-
ination, but they will all line up
for Seeley, it is said, in preference
to the present Mayor.
Cor Commissioners, Hamilton,
Smith, Coe, Spaulding, Reece and
Farris are all considered strong
men.

made at the close of prolonged
speech in opposition to the Sutherland
amendment to the senate resolution
providing for the election Of senators
by popular vote. That amendment
would nave the effect of giving con-

Mr.. Borah had spoken almost three
hours when he entered upon the race

ator expressed deep regret that the
race question had been brought in.
He asserted that its introduction was
intended only to imperil the resolu-
