rect for themselves the mistakes they
made, instead OF demanding a new

inclination or tendency in passing on
the question as to whether what was
done was meant to be used as a
means of Identification"
The court says that the laws do
not define what a mark of identif-
cation on ballot is. The statutes
say that no ballot bearing identifi.

supreme court justices say that
judges shall use common sense i'll

mistake, or erasures which clearly
are not for the purpose Of identifi-

said in part:
Il want to say to Brother Butler

all the rest of you brothers out here
this afternoon, that / have been max.
ing Fourth of July and other celebra-
ton speeches for more than twenty
years, but, hear me, this is the best

crowd I have ever had the honor OF
speaking to. want to compliment
your band. Why, have seen a good
many more instruments than you
have there, and, heard more Noise,
but Brother Fields, what your boys
are giving us today Is music-nelod-
ious music, and you can look at me
and see, that belong to race that
knows what real music Is"
Mr.. Woodson spoke Of the negro's
loyalty and devotion to the country,
and that in all his history, he had not
produced Benedict Arnold or a
Judas Iscariot.
I'VE have sacrificed in every con-
ceivable way to advance the civilian
tion of our country" said Mr.. Wood
son, ''both in the time Of peace and
the time of war. While deeply de-
pIore this foolish world fight OF to-
day, and pray that universal and
lasting peace may speedily come,
that the world may be spared the

of armless, legless, and sightless be-
ings of God, and worse than that,
countless myriads of dependent wild
ows and orphans. Yet, if my country
calls, / am ready to be offered up.
And l am only saying what the negro
has always said.

I'D to the call of duty from Boston
to Carrizal. In this war, 5000 negro
soldiers took part. In the war of
'61 to '65, $4,000 negroes fought both
for the salvation of the union, and
for their own freedom-taking part
in 213 battles. / need not mention
the Spanish-American war, how those
black boys saved the day at San
Juan hill. / am getting a little old,
but am just itching to get into Mex
leo, and put few of those 'greasers'
off watch for numbering our boys of
the Tenth cavalry"
Mr.. Woodson paid glowing tribute
to the womanhood of the race; went
on record for woman suffrage; gave
John Barleycorn" a black eye, and
told the colored people: You have
done well, but don't stop-do better.
Our white brother is the best man in
the world to emulate, but there are
some things he does, that You can
well afford to let roll on by"
Here Mr. Woodson halted and
turning to Attorney Norman, said:
'sMr. Norman, these people here are
nv friends, and I am going to ask
them right here and now to go the

law allows to vote, and make you
