SOUTHERN STATES SURE TO
FIGHT THE BRISTOW MEASURE

Iocrats and the Republican membership
form a majority of the house. and only
a majority vote will be required to cpn-
cur in the senate amendment to the
original resolution.
The only hope lies in Democrats
caucus. If the caucus votes against tns
Bristow amendment by a two-thirds ma
jority, then the Democratic membership
will be pledged to send the resolution
to conference. This might save the sir
uation for the south, as the conference
might yield to the demands OF the
south to kill the clause bestowing SUI
pervision upon the federal government.
The closing hours of the debate in
the senate yesterday afternoon and aast
night were marked by much feeling
and considerable excitement The LAS
sage of the Brisr0w amendment naay
be attributed directly to two senator's
--Lorimer. the Chicago boss. and Clarke
of Arkansas. a Democrat. Lorimer sFas
called in by the Republican machine TO
vote for the Bristow amendment. IT
was practically his first appearance In
the senate. He came all the way from
Chicago and cast his vote @or the BlIs-
tow amendment.
Clark, of Arkansas, deserted the DEM
ocrats and voted with the machine Re-
publicans for the amendment. Fad
Lorimer failed to arrive, or had he been
unseated at the last session, as he cea-
tainly will be at future date. the BIds-
tow amendment would have failed
Had Clark. of Arkansas, not lined up
with Lorimer and the Republicans. the
amendment would have failed.

(By Associated Press


NEW YORK, June N.-The blood OF an
unidentified park lounger has saved from
death, for time at least, DIR. George
r. Lockwood, an eminent specialist. and
himself a sufferer from ulver of the
stomach
DR.. Lockwood suffered a severe hemor-
rhage yesterday and after a hurried con-
sultation it was decided that the blood
of a healthy man was all that could
save him. A hunt for available men
proved fruitless and finally the attending
physicians went to Central park and
importuned loungers whom they found
there to help save the life of a man
who had devoted his own life to allie
Waiting the suffering or others
The offer of $50 in cash proved tempting
to men that had not the price of a bed
or a breakfast and several of them were
rushed in a taxicab to DR.. Lockwood s
home The man whose blood answered
most perfectly to the required tests was
selected and the TRANSMISSION was perform
ed. Afterward it was said that DR..
Lockwood was much stronger and prob
ably would recover.
DIR. Lockwood although his name does
not often appear in the press, has a
wide reputation among his brother prac-
titioners as a specialist in stomach dis
cases. He was called in consultation in
the case of former esident Grover
Cleveland, and attended him for many
months. He Is particularly known as a
skilful diagnostician.s

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June A-The
action of the senate in adopting the Bris-
tow substitute to the resolution for the
popular election of United States sena-
tors shifts the fight over this mooteo
question back to the house of represent
atives.
Unless the caucus rule is applied by
the Democrats. it is believed that the
Bristow substitute will be accepted by
the house, and that the constitutional
amendment will be submitted to the
states as it passed the senate.
In its present shape. the proposed con-
stitutional amendment is obnoxious To
practically all southern congressman and
senators; indeed, its provisions are view
ed with alarm by these statesmen who
believe that it's enforcement viii nullify
the suffrage laws of the south whereby
the venal and ignorant negro voters are
DISTINGUISHED.
If the house accepts the senate amend
ment TO the resolution 1t might be safe
ly predicted that the ratification of the
constitutional amendment win be fought
In the legislatures of the southern states
AS three-fourths of the state legislatures
must ratify the amendment before it be-
comes operative, there is serious doubt
as to whether it ever becomes effective
1t is regarded as practically certain
that Georgia will lead the states of the
south in declining to ratify the popular
elections amendment in its present form;
Senators Bacon and Terrell voted against
the resolution on its passage because of
the adoption OF the Questionable feature,
and the Georgia congressman are unani-
nous in their opposition to the accept
ance of the resolution in its present
shape.
II shall certainly oppose concurrence in
the senate amendment to the resolution,
said Congressman Brantley today; land
moreover, 1 will oppose the ratification OF
the amendment by the Georgia legislature
If ii is finally submitted in its present
form.
II am confident that federal supervis-
sion of elections is dangerous TO the
states of the south; our suffrage laws
would be placed in serious jeopardy, and
the integrity of our ballot as regards TO
the negro would be endangered"
Congressman Schley Howard entertains
practically the same view. and other mem
bers of the delegation share them also.
With the two senator's and all the rep
resentatives from Georgia standing unit
ed in opposition to its ratification, it
seems safe to predict that Georgia will
be the first state to turn down the con-
stitutional amendment II Is impossible
to predict with any degree of certainty
the attitude the house viii take with
reference to the Bristow amendment 1t
Is known that the southern membership
under the leadership of Speaker Clark.
Congressman Underwood. and others, is
dead set against the federal supervision
of elections
Unfortunately, the northern Democracy
entertains no such feeling toward this
feature of the resolution. On the con-
trary, many of the northern Democrats
believe the federal government should
supervise the elections.
Moreover. they have thousands of ne
gro voters in their district and they
fear to antogonize them by opposing
federal supervision. The northern DEM
