This shows that the Democratic
politicians in the South are stfli uurs-
ing the negro question as their only
hope whenever their supremacy In
threatened. In short. whenever they
have to face issues. and there is dan
ger Of the people being interested in
the Republican issues more than the
straddling and uncertain so-called
issues Of the Democratic party, IL is
absolutely necessary for them TO raise
the race cry TO appeal TO prejudice TO
prevent the people from thinking and
voting according to their judgment
Friends of Speaker Clark Confident.
While the Democratic campaign
has not reached the interesting and
decisive stage al yet that the Republi-
can campaign has. yet the friends Of
Speaker Clark are each day growing
more confident OF his nomination.
The Speaker has already overcome
the lead which Professor Wilson ap-
peared to have at one time, and is
now far In the lead. 1t Ia claimed
by the Speakers friends that IL he
carries Massachusetts to-day, that
then Professor Wilson will not be
able to get another Western State,
and that this would put him out of
the running.
When Congress. VIII Adjourn.
Some hopeful members of Con-
gress have been predicting that that
body would adjourn early in June.
There is no question that a large
number Of Congressman are very
anxious to adjourn as soon as pos
sible. This is especially true of the
Democratic Congressman, for they
seem to fear the longer Congress
stays in session the more liable they
are to make mistakes and the more
they will be blamed for not making
any serious effort to pass the bills
which they had pretended to favor.
However, the condition Of legisla-
ton in Congress does not hold out
hope that adjournment can be had
until the last of June or until July.
The condition of the appropriation
bills, which is absolutely necessary
for Congress to pass before it ad-
journs, are today less advanced than
ever known before in the history of
the government. In fact, when one
comes to reckon up the work Of Con-
gress to date, the record is one of
less accomplished, even on the rou-
tine appropriation bills, than ever
known before. In short, this Con-
gress will go down into history as a
"do-nothing" Congress, which has
spent it's time playing politics.
The time of most of the Demo
cratic members has been spent on in
vestigating committees, which have
been "nosing" around in every d.
rection and quarter trying to un-
earth something for campaign capi-
tai, in which they have dismally
failed. However, they have spent a
larger amount of the peoples money
in this political fruitless search.
These committees are already being
generally dubbed as political smell
ing" committees.
