Jefferson Radical,

Alfred Henderson in the Cincin-
natl Times Star: The celebration
April Is of the birthday of Thomas.
Jefferson by Tammany Hall at
which all of the speakers were
conservatives, presented an anus
ing spectacle in the lack of har-
mony in spirit anes belief between
the men celebrating and the man
celebrated.
The boldest innovator, the most
ruthless iconoclast that ever ap-
peared upon the stage of practical
politics was Thomas Jefferson.
Philosophers like Plato, Moore
and Rousseau had dreamed in
closet and books, but Jefferson,
though schooled in the theories
of these men, entered the arena of
action and led with dauntless
courage the revolutionists and
radicals of his day. Compared
with Jefferson, even Bryan is a re-
dictionary and this, too, not merely
considered in relation to the ge
in which the two men lived but on
the score of abstract principles.
The owners of vested rights, those
who enjoyed privileges, denounced
Jefferson as "a red," and when he
was elected president the first time
there were communities that actu-
ally went into mourning. AS the
whole the press, the pulpit, the
bar, colleges, polite society, every
organ and moder of public opin-
ion was against him.
Jefferson attacked the judges
even more bitterly than Lincoln
did later for the Dred Scott deci-
sion, Bryan for the income tax
case or Roosevelt for the Chicago
case. Writing of Chief Justice
Marshall, then on the bench, JEFF
ferson said: "His twistifi cation
in the case show how dexterously
he can reconcile law to his person.
al bias,' and he referred to "the
cunning and sophistry within
which he is able to enshroud him.
self" But Jefferson did not con-
fine himself to men on the bench,
he assaulted the system Of the
federal judiciary, saying: "The
judiciary of the United States ls
the subtle corps of sappers and
miners constantly working under
ground to undermine the founda-
tions of our confederated fabric,
| An opinion is delivered by crafty
chief justice who sophisticates the
law to his mind by the turn Of his
own reasoning. A judiciary in.
dependent of the will Of the natior
is solecism in a republican gov.
ernment."

kindle flame that everybody hoped
had forever gone to sleep? Would he
bring Vessuvius into action with its
belching torrents of hell? Would he
ruthlessly destroy the peaceful rela-
tions now existing between whites
and blacks? Would he convert this
great, prosperous, peaceful and happy
state, into seething vortex of ran
cour, hate, strife and bloodshed?
The White Mans Hope!" A man
who would advocate such a pernicious
doctrine, is not worthy the respect
of men, much less to be elevated to
the exalted position of governor Of
the state.
Governor Colquitt is just as anxious
for a pure ballot as any of his de-
tractors, and the following from his
speech in Lamar county, knocks the
white mans hope" into cooked
hat:
Ramsey in his speech at Waco last
night is quoted as saying that | am
trying to win this contest with negro
votes; you know, my friends, that
colored people can not vote in the
democratic primaries of Lamar
county"
Cries of That's sou and applause.
They don't vote in democratic pri-
maries in South Texas. Judge RAM
sey asks me to join him in protest
against the participation of negroes
in the democratic primary. The law
of the state prescribes the democratic
test, and in making this charge Will
liam Fixem Ramsey is grabbing at
straws, and there are not enough
straws in this state to save him next
Saturday. (Applause)
His Proposition to Ramsey.
81 want to say that | will not only
join him in keeping negroes out OF
the democratic primary, but I'll con-
tribute money and effort to prevent
him and his friends from corrupting
the democratic ballot. (Applause).
Il will offer a reward of $4,000 for
the arrest and conviction of any ne
gro, socialist or political prohibition
list who tries to take part in the dem
ocratic primary.
More than II, 900 socialists voted in
this state at the general election two
years ago and there were more than
10000 votes cast for Houston, the
prohibition nominee for governor.
