want social equality in America, are
voicing the sentiments of Ben Till
man. expressed in the Senate Just a
few years ago. They fur' her agree
that Negroes should be disfrap chised;
they agree that Negroes should again
be made slaves. Abraham Lincoln

'if they liked each other we'll enough

boy, and an alligator fighting, why l

the alligator whether he was right

under the same conditions as I had

tor Now l think that these two
men in their day marked the diffsr-
ences between social equality and
disequaliy. Their views also marked
the difference between social prog

social equality discussed in iLs rank

cATHENA. ORE. MAY II. ....1912

The New York World says: "If the
Democrats expect to elect President
next fall they must 60 into the cam"
paign with a stronger candidate than
the Speaker Of the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes. For Mr.. Clark personally
The World has only the friendllest
feelings, but his nomination for Pres
ident would be equivalent to oertlh-
cate of election for bis Republican
opponent" Champ Clark's victory
in Illinois ought to rouse every demo-
crat who believes iu sane and effect
i've leadership. AS presidential can
didate the Speaker would be one OF
the most absurd figures ever seen on
the stump. Success would be impos-
sible for his party. His backing by
Hearst, which he thankfully aoknowl-
edges, would alone To sufficient to
ruin his chances. Competent politi-
clans inform US that, in their judg-
ment, his campaign would collapse
in eight weeks after the convention.
It is known, too, that President Taft
believes that Clark would be the easl-
est democratic candidate fer him to
defeat With Clark as its spokesman,
the democracy would again be the
butt of the country, because OF it's pro
pensity for inexcusable blundering.
Its exceptional chance to win because
of the Republican split would be
thrown away at the start. Most oi
the independent democratic news
papers would be compelled to support
the republican candidate, 60 obvious
is the Speakers uniltness for the
White House. A big barrel, Con
gressional courtesy, which always If
available for fellow representative,
and gross popular misoonception OF
Mr.. Clark and his abilities are respon-
sihle for the start his candidacy has
got The sound sentiment Of the par
ty must now make itself felt to head
off tho threatened disaster.
