The Colorado statesman., 1912-01-20
GENERAL CLAYTON A
FRIEND OF THE NEGEO
LITTLE Rock, JAN. s, IL.
ecial to COLORADO STATESMAN.

Special to COLORADO STATESMAN.
The Negroes of the Southwest
section regard General Powell
Clay ton, Arkansas member of the
Republican National Executive
Committee, as perhaps the strong
est friend they have in all matters
touching their political rights.
For 40 years and more, General
Clayton and members of his fam,
lily have stood for the full man
hood rights of the Negro. He has
worked during all this time with
such leaders of the Negro race as
j. E. Bush and others of that
character in this locality. His
voice in behalf of the Negro has
rang out clearly, and there has
never been any equivocation in
his position with reference to these
rights.
At recent meeting of the Re-
publican National Executive Com
mittee, General Clayton opposed
the change in the rule of apportion-
ment and based his objection
primarily upon the injustice which
would be inflicted upon the Ne.
groes, not only in the South, but
of the entire country by having
the seal of approval placed upon
their disfranchisement by Demo
cratic legislators. He scored the
frank injustice of supplementing
Democratic disfranchisement of
American citizens in the South by
corresponding acknowledgements
in our conventions"
Continuing, General Clayton
said: In this connection, l am able
to show in round numbers, based
upon the census of 1910, the Negro
population in some of our northern
and doubtful states, namely: Mass
achusetts, $4,000; Connecticut, 15,-
900; New York 134, 900; New Jer-
sey, 10000; Pennsylvania, 1884,
900; Ohio, Ill, 900; Indiana, 160,-
900; Illinois, 100000; Missouri,
1000; Kansas, $4,000; Mary
land, 232, 900; total about ], ,295 900.
1.-The colored people of these
and other states would be more
than human if they did not resent
at the polls such rank injustice,
which, together with whats their
brothers in the South are enduring
would seem to justify them in max
ing terms with the party into
whose keeping their rights seem
already to have been relegated.
1.-THE efforts to change the rule
of apportionment do not appear to
have originated with the Republi-

Sometimes a man may have
cause to regret having cursed
and abused an official for the
performance of his duty as to
him, and because he feels that
the officer has not performed it to
others. 1t is very well when the
shoe is on the other mans foot,
but some people do this even
when their own corns are dan
gerously near being pinched,
and when they do get pinched it
is amazing how loud and long
they can howl.

Verify, Bullitt must not have
enough sense to pound sand in
rat hole with a scoop shovel,
which is little more than some of
the lawmakers had who passed
the bill, yet we consider the law
good one, and we hope it will
stand. We believe the law is
absolutely just, and that it will
elevate the newspapers of the
land to higher plane, and that
it will be the beginning of the
end of unprincipled and hired
dispensers of public opinion.

but for the people. Newspapers
are educational and they are d

They are the source of informa
tion and of passing events to the
general public, and aside from
this, many people in the remote
parts of the country would be
deprived of cnlightmcnt were it

The second class privilege
was made in the interest of the
public, that the price of news,
papers might be made less and

this is the whole story-to put
the newspapers in the reach
and in the hands of the general
public. 1t was an act for the
people, and the people receive
the benefit in the price they pay
for the newspapers. Change
the rate, and the publisher will
charge more and the people will
pay more. This is the truth in
a nutshell.
The newspaper is the cheap
est thing on earth. There is
absolutely nothing worth as
much that can be bought for so
small a price-and all the peo-
pie receive the benefit. Really,
it seems unreasonable that any

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

The republican newspaper last
week commenting on the election
contest for the office of sheriff
said among other things that Il
close friend of the ring had in
duced Juden To file contest pro-
ceedings, but did not say any
thing about who induced Duncan
TO contest for the office of pruSr-
cutting attorney. Why the one
and not the other? The answer
is the same old answer of the
fellow whose OK was gorcd. The
fact of the matter is Judrn and
Duncan are but lending their
names to these proceedings.
They were the nominees and can
didateS of their respective par
ties and as such they are under
obligations to their parties to
see that they are declared elected
if they received majority of the
legal votes cast at the election,
otherwise they would be setting
themselves up as the sole ahiterS
of their party's rights. 1t is not
for them to decide the matter.
where there is room for doubt,
according to their own wishes or
/ pleasure, but they should submit
the question to the courts il they
would retain the respect OF the
parties who nominated them

Representatives of the people.
has provided a way political par
ties may put their candidates in
office who have been illegally
counted out, and this by contest
upon the part of the candidates
counted out Illegally, and can
didate who has received major
ity of the legal votes at an election
who lays down and submits to an
illegal count is treating his party
with contempt and merits the
SevereSt criticism. Who was
elected sheriff or prosecuting at.
torney according to law does not
depend upon what some hot air
merchant says about the matter.
but depends upon what the
courts say about it. We do not
hold our elections by passing
around the hat, but we hold them
in the manner prescribed by law,
and the law determines our cleo
tionS. The result must be a lc.
gal one. Laws are necessary to
good government and also to fair
elections. Only legal votes count.
The law does not permit a candi.
date to run upon ticket unless
he has been legally nominated by
the party on whose ticket his
name is printed. If the law is
against one and he complains
then he is against the law. What
ever the courts decide in these
contests will be right, and no
fault can be justly found with
the candidate who stood up for
the rights of his party. We be
licve that .juden and GOSSOm re
ceived ii majority of tn" legal
votes cast, but if the courts de
eide against us. we are ready to
frankly admit our error of judg
meut and will not be heard to
whine" If Duncan was legally
elected, then he should have the
office. otherwise h" should not.
If Stubblctield was legally elect
ed he should have the office.
otherwise ne should not. What

FROM JUDGE ANDERSON
April 18th 1912,

ApTll lotil, Io1-.
IL. Is. Wood, Esq,
Monterey, Va.
My dear Mr. Wood
have Just received the advance
sheets Of the Acts. and find that
lie act taking Highland out of my
circuit was an emergency act, and
went into effect on March 4th.
The understanding of everybody,
50 far as [ had been able to hear,
was, that the act would not be eff
fective until ninety days after Il e
adjournment of the Legislature,
and l was looking forward to my
last official trip to Kirkland this
month but it turns out that Higi.-
land passed out from under my jur-
isdiction on March 4th, and that |
shall not have the pleasure of see
ing and saying goodbye in person
to you and my many other friends
in that good old county,
commenced holding the terms
of the circuit court in Highland
eight years ago this month, and my
association with the people has
given me a high regard for them.
They are strong independent clIl-
zens, with a wholesome respect fol
law and order, peace loving, yet
not afraid to fight for what they
think is right. To say that | adj
mire them would be putting it toe
mildly | have come to love thu N
and it is with a distinct sense OF
loss that | sec the county pass
away from my circuit. | wish you
would flank all my friends for theil
unfaiiing kindness and courtesy tc
me.
Nv Successors is not a stranger
to Highland He is an able. fear
les .,nd upright Judge, and Iowa
bic gentleman. l>hope he will Ell
JOY his association with your peo
pie as much as | have done.
Yours very truly,

Without asking permission, W.
take the liberty of publishing thu
above letter received from Judg'
Anderson on the 10th. In doint
this we not only give the people al
explanation of the matter out o
which grew the misunderstanding
as to who would preside at th'
April term of the circuit court, bu
present, from the Judges owl
hand, the sincere and gratifying
tribute which he pays to the peo
pie of Highland. The relation which
one in his position sustains to th'
people is delicate one, but it cal
be safely claimed that his rulings
and decisions have left as few
sores" as could be reasonably ex
pected from any presiding judge
during like tenure of office.
Judge Anderson has many warm
personal friends in the county wht
assured him that the regret express
ed by him at the changed relations
is shared by them as we'll.
