very important matter and you should
ask each candidate for the House OF
Represa aEtativeB aIli the Senate the

various issues. Ask him particularly
what lie will do in reference to pre-
venting white people from teaching
negroes, and If he says he will not
vote for the bill to stop it. YOU beat
him. Ask him Particularly how lie
stands on the twJ-cent rate bill, and
incidentally, you5 might ask him II he
is railroad attorney, If he travels on
q railroad pass, and what lie pays for
it with, and If he is a candidate for re-
election you might consistently ask
him how he voted on the two-cent rate
bill at the last session, and what in
fiuenced his vote.
