THE 4C4DIA

Nearly fifteen years ago
Constitutional Convention TO
the State of Louisiana was helC
in New Orleans,
The purpose and design of tina
Constitutional Convention was
well-knoWn to the people Of
Louisiana, and to the people Of
every State in the Union, as fan
as that matter.
1t was to purify the electorate
of the State by eliminating the
negro vote threrefrom. There
was a crisis in the Stateof Louis
lana at that time.
Two years before the State had
come within shuddering nearness
to being hurled back into the
night of Republican rule and it's
horrible consort, negro impu-
dence and negro dream of equaIi-
tyr, through a combination of of
fce-hungry Democrats and
the Republican party.
The manhood and brain of the
State composed that C~onstitu-
tional Convention, whose battle
cry was White Supremacy"
The matchless Foster, then
Governor, was at the wheel.
Sanders. Nichols, Barrett, Mi
chel, Blanchard, K~rutschnitt,
Simms and others Of Louisiana 5
brave men, stood at his side.
Dossmann, D~ubuisson, Martin
and Hicks were there from ST.
Landry, St. Landry whose peo-
pie had just been put to the test Of
arms for White Supremacy, and
which In reality had lighted the
torch, under the leadership Of
the gallant Swords, that taught
the people of the State that the
negro in politics was the incuba-
tor of bloodshed and dlscord and
eneyitable ruin.
The Contitution Of the United
States gave the negro equal right !,
franchise with the white man, i
and it was impossible for these I
patriots to place on the statute

but the negro shall not" !
a plain law that would strike '
The negro would also strike the !,
man. g
Then came the might of brain =
% clrcumvent the law. :.
But to make that stroke of the '
brain of the white man eff :,
'%ective, it was necessary to arm =
with patriotism. =
In other words, there was but !, |,
me way to get rid of the negro, u
nd that was to "fool'' him out Y
# politics. =
Several laws with this purpose =
0 view were offered, one of
which was the Understanding !.
Of the Mississippi Con- -
titution, which called as a pre-
equisite to vote that the appli-
ant for registration shall under
a certain paragraph of
le Constitution when read to
by the Registrar. =
Of course under this law the :
hite man understood, and y
le negro did not understand. " -
But the constitutionality of this -
was thought too drastic and -

Notice.

I hereby give notice that I am
going to apply to the Police Jury
of the Parish ofSt. Landry, State
of Louisiana, for a license to-
operate a saloon for white people
at Armide, in the same building I
am now occupying, during the
year 1912.

Ter in that army. This is called
THE Grandfather Clause"
3. That the applicant, date, fill
and figure out his exact age OF
birth up to the time of registra-
ton. That is called the ''Edu-
cational Qualification"
The Grandfather Clause
could be availed of only by those
registering under it within, we
believe, five years, after it formed
a permanent roll under which one
who had so availed himself of it's
provision could perpetuate his
registration. Those not on this
permanent roll had to come under
the "EducationaI'' or the PRO
perty qualification.
The only chance for the bulk
of the negroes to qualify was I'M
der the property qualification"
Their fathers or grandfathers
had not enlisted as Confederate
soldiers, and not one in a hun
bred was supposed to fill out a
registration blank properly.
But the clause disqualifying
him under the educational quail
ication would also disqualify the
white man, if strictly enforced,
and there is where the Constitu-
ton makers intended that the
white registrar should exercise
the power that rested in him to
purge the electorate of the black
and at the same time touch with
reverence the American-born
of the white man.
There was no intention on the
part of these white men of Louis
lana to centralize power
n the a d Of t h e
fortunate white man whom
fortune had enabled to obtain ed
lcation and wealth, and to yoke
with the negro the poor
white man to whom the bloody
1and of war and toll had closed
he schoolhouse door, to he and
lis children.
If such a sentiment-this SEN
iment which would throttle the
harm of freedom in the breasts
f brave American citizens
ound Judgement in the hearts of
his body of Louisiana's great
zen, then their names should be
orn down from the pedestal up
n which the citizenhood of LOU
has placed them, and vel
an not believe but that the cred
ed action Of the so-caIled Dem
cratic" Good Governm en- t
eague, through the legal firm
Pugh & Story, in attempting
, disfranchise eight hundred
rave white men of Acadia par
h, is either a part of a deep-laid
lot to disrupt the Democratic
ty of Louisiana the party Of
hite supremacy-or the action
two very ungrateful and I'M
ltriotic sons Of Louisiana.
Everything, however points to
e action as oneof an organiza-
N which is being led by Republi
MS and in whose interest ninety
r cent of the Republicans of
e State have registered as
,mocrats.
1t would not be unusual for the
publican party of this State, =
tn its trail of blackness and its

lraged as it is, by miscontents =

allowed them to so far forget
