THE VOTE OF TIE sOurn.

THE chairman of the Democratic State Committee
\ in Louisiana has made some public statements
yoring the direct popular election OF the President
The New Orleans Times Picayune is trying to shoe
him away from the subject the ground that the
plan would be injurious TO the South would not only
lessen its influence but would force the front
very difficult and unpleasant issues"
In palmer language the Times Pioayune advises It's
party chairman that II popular election OF the Presi-
dent is prevail every Southern State would have to
vote an SIS women and all It's Negroes, both men and
women It is thankful that the South has suni-
cient power in Congress to defeat such plan and
OF the opinion that there will be Democratic
or Southern support" for the proposed change.
This indicates that whatever division may occur in
Congress the plan will be along partisan and
tional lines This would be great pityfor no change
in the nations organic law. especially change so
vitality affecting the chief OF state should be dis
cussed or adopted under such conditions.
The proposal was FIRST brought forward by Demo-
cratic Senator Chamberlain. OF Oregon-who was born
in Mississippi That he made it in good faith no one
can doubt That the opposition or his Southern breth-
rem viii surprise him equally But there Is the
fact The South now enjoys tremendous political and
legislative power through the failure to apply the
terms OF the Constitution to the electoral sysem 1t
now exists; the South IS determined not to give
up this advantage willingly.
Yet the vote OF the south-as cast. manipulated and
counted--is a constant to tko perpetuity OF
our institutions II marks with injustice and with
dubey every election and every act Il Congress where
Southern votes a determining factor in the result
There should be reformation; and there will be, SEN
ator Chamberlain has indicated way to secure re-
form. Senator Penrose has presented another. II
would be a pleasing sight to see these two Senators
agreeing upon some plan to what they both
desire free choice OF a President in fair vote ant
we hope they will get together and nullfy the predic
tons Of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
