SENATOR BRANDEGEE
EAVORS REPEAL BILL

Senator Brandegee OF Connecticut.
chairman of the interoceanic canals COM
mittee at the time of the passage of the
Panama canal bill in 1912 and a consis-
tent opponent Of the free tolls clause
Of that act from the beginning of the
controversy, addressed the Senate today
in favor of the Panama canal tolls re-
peal bill
Notwithstanding the fact that he is
voting with the majority Of the demo-
cratic senators in support Of bill urged
upon Congress by President Wilson. SEN
ator Brandegee apparently could not re-
frain from attacking the democrats.
WAS there ever such a record Of
laundering in the history Of political
acrobatics since government by parties
began?" said Senator Brandegee, refer
ring to the manner in which the demo-
Gratis had handled the tolls question. He
spoke Of the adoption of the free tolls"
plank by the Baltimore convention, Its
support by President Wilson before his
election and by Secretary Bryan, and the
manner in which the democrats have
sought to throw this plank overheard in
recent months.
Urged Respect for Treaty.
Senator Brandegee said that at the
time of the passage of the Panama
canal act he tmplored the Senate not
to vote for the free tolls provision.
He insisted that under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty the United States
had no right to exempt its merchant
vessels from the payment Of tolls
while charging tolls against those Of
other nations.
The whole intent Of the treaty" said
Senator Brandegee. " Is to prevent dis
elimination of any kind against the
citisens or nations or their trade or
commerce in the use of the canal"
From an economic standpoint Senator
Brandegee also commended that the ex-
emption of American coastwise ves-
sells from the payment Of tolls was
wrong.
May a decent respect for the opin-
ion Of mankind forbid that we shall
desecrate this greatest wonder of the
world by inscribing upon its endDr-
ing portals special privilege. ia
voritism. Discrimination! said Sena-
tor Brandegee.

white MAN FOR RECORDER,
Is URGED BY THE BAR
Senator Smith Of Georgia Declines
to Talk About Ru1nors Of
Proposed Change.

Since 1t has been published that
Senator Hoke Smith has taken an in
terest In the condition Of the office OF
recorder Of deeds of the District, he
has received numerous letters from
members Of the bar. pointing out that
the office is maintained by the fees col
lected from persons fling deeds for
record. and that over IS per cent Of
all of these fees are contributed by
white residents of the District and
the surrounding counties of Maryland
and Virginia. and urging the justice
and wisdom Of appointing white resi-
dent as recorder.
Henry Lincoln johnson, colored. of
Georgia Is the present recorder. Sem
ator Smith has also received letters
from business men along the same
line.
When questioned today In regard to
the office of recorder of deeds. he
stated that the subject was before the
President and under the circumstances
he preferred not to discuss 1t in the
press.

SUGGESTS Plan FOR
SUFFRAGE DOWN SOUTH
E. T. Florance of New Orleans Urges
Law Similar to Grand.
father Clause"

A suffrage law for the south similar to
the grandfather clause" Is urged by
Ernest T. Florance. one of the most
prominent lawyers in New Orleans. and
a strong advocate of suffrage, who wa
in Washington as a member Of special
committee of the American Bar Associa.
ton.
That is the only way in which woman
suffrage In the south can become an
accomplished fact said Mr.. Florance.
''The southern states Will never make
voters Of the negro women. Take, for
instance, the states Of Louisiana and
Mississippi. In which the population is
almost equally divided between the whites
and the blacks. It is manifestly impos-
sible that the vote should be given to
the negroes. II 1t were 1t would mean
social revolution.
But do not understand" said Mr..
Florance. that the educated colored
man Is deprived of the right of franchise
ficatfon that disfranchises the negro, but
only the poor and ignorant one.
Effort Will Be Idle Without Law.
THE grandfather clause merely pro-
vides that no one whose ancestor voted
in 1860 can be disqualified for these rea-
sons. Thus discrimination is made be-
tween the white and the colored man,
and until some similar method is found
Of discriminating between the white and
the colored woman it will be idle to
try to win the south to woman suffrage.
I'm the near future a law will be
framed that will not exclude colored
women from the franchise. but will SIM
ply not include them. When this time
comes, and I am confident that it will
come in the near future. suffrage for
white women will be an accomplished
fact.
1T is for this reason that no federal
amendment giving the vote to women
will be tolerated. A federal law carries
with it federal regulation, and no south
ern state will ever give the federal gov
eminent an opportunity to come in and
interfere with its electoral laws"

Sympathized With Views.

When reference was made to the let
ters and petitions he had received, he
stated that he sympathized with the
views Of the writer's of those petitions
an dthought that the District was en-
titled to high-class white man for the
place.
Senator Smith declined to comment
upon the published report that the Presi-
dent had refused to give this office to
a white man or to break the custom of
appointing a colored man to this office.

years.

Details Country's Developments.
Senator Newlands then proceeded to
give an historical account Of the inter
nal development Of the country. showing
that we had abandoned toll roads and
toll canals for free roads and free canals.
and that over $500, Co., 600 had been ex-
pended from the federal Treasury on
waterways without reimbursement in the
shape of tolls from tonnage transported
upon them.
He showed how the platforms of 1908
and 1912 had demanded still higher de-
velopment Of the waterways at the cost
ma canal was a domestic waterway, con-
Meeting the waterways Of the two coasts;
that notwithstanding the vast expend-
lures made by the national government
upon rivers and artificial waterways IN
the past no tolls were being imposed
for reimbursement.
Recognizes Presidents Purpose.
Senator Newlands said, in conclusion:
II recognize, Of course. the high pur-
pose of the President. his conscientious
ness and courage in recommending legis-
lation in direct contradiction of our plat
form. Believing. as he doubtless does,
that the legislation of 1912 is an infringe
ment Of the treaty and realizing, as he
does. that q treaty Is the supreme law
of the land, he is right from that stand
point In advising that the supreme law
of the land should stand above a mere
party platform. have no criticism to
make Of him regarding his action. but
have no similar appreciation Of or praise
for those legislators who, believing to
the contrary, will vote for this bill SIM
ply with view to supporting an admin

Absence Of Oratory.

Although the debate last night grew
warm at times there was an absence OF
the campaign oratory which has ire
auently marked the progress of the
bill to a fnal stage. The first vote
came when the Senate was not look

ators absent from the chamber or out
of town. The galleries were only half
filled but as the evening wore on the
crowds grew larger. and when the last
vote was taken they were we'll filled.
