Washington, Dec u.-"Inter-marriage
between Negroes or persons of color and
Caucasians or any other character of
persons within the United States or any
territory under their jurisdiction, would
be prohibited under a joint resolution
introduced, today, by Rep. Roddenberry
of Georgia. THE term Negroes or per-
sons of color is defined in the bill as
any and all persons of African descent
or having any trace of African or Negro
blood.
The measure was referred to the judi
eiary committee of which Rep. Clayton
of Alabama is chairman.
4 denunciation of the legal procedure
under which "a brown-hued. bIack-KEin-
ned, thick-lipped, brutal-hearted African
can walk into an Office of the law and
demand an edict guaranteeing him legal
wedlock to a white woman was one OF
many sensational figures of speech In
the House, today, by Rep. Roddenberry
of Georgia in favor of a resolution he
had introduced earlier to prohibit inter-
marriage of whites and Negroes. The
measure. a direct result of the recent
marriage of Jack Johnson, the Negro
pugilist, to white girl. did not get to
a vote, but it enlivened dull days
proceedings and incidentally resulted In
hlbuster by Rep. Goldfogle Of New
York that sent the Brunette bill over
until probably the middle of January.
Mr.. Roddenberry prophesied that the
legal sanction of mixed marriage uiti-
mately might bring this country to a
conflict He declared that mo brutality.

Southern slavery possessed such villain
Gus characteristics and atrocious quail
ties as the permission of that marriage

least that they would abide by the action of the primary and
support Mr. Buegh 1t seems to that they in honor
bound TO do have uniformly expressed myself this eff
feet and believe that any other would be decidedly OPP
posed the Progressive sentiment in this county which is the
strongest Progressive county the State So far the other
State offices concerned looks if Peters Republican,
would be the choice for speaker and Mken Progressive for
President of the Senate and the minor Offices would

fair and equitable to all hands little sober reflection and
sound common would indicate that any other

My dear Mr.. IIichborn
congratulate you the views expressed in the let
signed by you Mr. Irving and Mr.. Dunnac under date

Republicans
1t is straightforward logical and sound presentation of the
principles of the primary have always understood tem
and primary law have any value whatever and
dure will be because the of Maine generally look upon
its obligations in the light that you do Mr. Buregh
the primaries in fair and open fight for him
then and for him now, and have for minute be-
eved that he would be defeated in the Legislature but what
the merits of the Senatorial candidates be has very
little do with this The position you take in regard
the principles of the primary will, in my judgment be
dorsed by the great majority of the citizens of Maine entirely
irrespective of their personal wishes of their politics
