MR. HUGHES AMAZING SURRENDER.

Every white man in the United States who votes obtained his vote through the States.
 Every woman in the United States who votes obtained her vote through the StateA
 Every black man in the United States who votes obtained his vote either through the States or by the common consent of the electors of his community that he should exercise the franchise.
 The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is without effect. 1t was framed and adopted for partisan purposes and has been worse than failure. It creat- ed an irrepressible conflict between the white and black races of the South and has done more than any other one thing to hinder the progress of the negro people since they were enamel pated from slavery.
 MT. Hughes proposes that the Unit ed States shall commit a new and greater blundsr in the way of Federal control of the franchise by the adop- ton of an amendment to the Constitu- tion giving the vote to women in all States. This is to be done by act of Congress and by act of thirty-six State Legislatures without a referendum, and without any of the processes by which the franchise has hitherto been conferred by the various States. It is to be done by a method which gives Nevada, with population of 81,375, the 0rme power as New York. with a population of s,11s.279. It is a meas lure to enable Idaho to say who shall vote in e1ectinHA Mayor of New York City, and Montana to say who shall vote in electing an Alderman in Buffa- To.
 The population of the United States by the census of 1910 was 91,972,266. More than 50,O00,000 of this popula- tion is centered in the twelve States of New York, Pennsylvania. Illinois, Ohio, Texas, Massachusetts. Indiana, New Jersey, Michigan, Georgia. Missouri and Wisconsin. Let these twelve States would be powerless to prevent the adoption of such an amendment if the Legislatures of the other thirty-six States ratified 1t. They would count no more than the States of Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Rhode Island, Della ware, Arizona. Utah, New Hampshire, Vermont, Wyoming, North Dakota and New Mexico, with a combined popula- ton of only 100000.
 When. the Federal Constitution was framed it's makers left the question of suffrage to the several States. Except for the abortive Fifteenth Amend ment 1t has. always remained with the States. The reasons are obvious. It Is the Static Governments and the local Governments which touch most closely the daily lives of the people, and the National government is merely repre- sentative of the voters of these States. Conditions varied in the different States in respect to property, to educa-
