hanged its attitude on the question

peal that provision OF the act pro-

built Oh American soil, by American
money--we own it, said Senator

Florida May Settle Negro Office Hold
ing Question,

Tallahassee, Fla, May H.
While Senator James X. Vardaman
and John Beard are trying to get the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the federal constitution the Flor
IDA Legislature is doing things that
may make the repeal of these amend
nents unnecessary to settle the stat
us of the negro as to Office holding.
The Farris amendment has been
reported favOrably by the House
committee and it is quite possible
that the amendment will pass the
House and it may get through the
Senate. The amendment provides
that, being an amendment to section
ten of article six as to suffrage and
eligibility:
Section l0-No person shall be
eligible to hold or shall hold any
office. State. county or municipal, un-
der the laws of this State whether
elective or appointive unless he is y
white person over the age of FL
years of age and citizen of this
State.
Article XIV (referring to the Fed.
eral constitution) ALL persons born
or naturalized in the United tSates
and subject to the jurisdiction there
of are citizens of the United States
and OF the State wherein they re-
side, No State shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridge
the privileges or immunities of citi-
zens of the United States nor shall
any State deprive any person of life,
liberty or property without due pro-
cess of law, nor to deny any person
within it's jurisdiction the equal pro-
lection of the laws
Article XIV reads as follows THE
right of citizens of the United States
to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or BY
any State on account of race, color
or previous condition of servitude."
There is no decision of the State
or federal courts on this question,
but it will be clearly seen that the
entire constitutional question as to
the proposed legislation hinges upon
whether the right to hold office is a
privilege The advocates OF the
measure, chief among them Floyd.
cites the celebrated decision OF ex
parte Lockwood supreme court.
where it is held that State may pre-
vent negro from becoming a law

amendment passes 1t should be in
