DallaS-Not The Dalles
Many occurrences which have ag-
gravated the citizens in the past, due
to confusion in the names of Dallas
and The Dalles, has at last brought
forth the climax of agitation. Billy
Sunday was scheduled to be at Dali
las Friday afternoon and many peo-
pie came from neighboring towns to
hear him, only to see big placard
which announced that he had gone
to The Dalles; however the chautau-
qua management has promised his
audience that "Billy" will appear
Saturday morning at II o'clock.
This frequent confusion of the
above mentioned names has caused
a threat to emulate from the Dallas
citizens that an attempt will be made
to have the similarity Of these names
changed by legislative enactment or
otherwise.

Negro population is a factor in all
local conditions.
In Georgia. for instance. there are
reported to be more Negroes than
whites Moreover, in the gulf states

Plan to Reduce Representation Where
Hacks Denied Ballot.

Washington, Dec. IA drive
against the so-called grandfather
clauses" in the Constitutions of South
ern States. said to be aimed at the
acknowledgements of the Negroes, is
seen in the resolution which Repre-
sentative George Holden Tinkham
(Rep) of Massachusetts introduced in
the House Monday.
Tinkham's resolution calls on the
House Committee of the Census, or
any subcommittee of that body to
make inquiry as to "the extent to
which the right to vote is denied or
abridged to citizens of the United
States" He is making this move, he
says. in connection with proposed
legislation providing for a re-appor-
tionment of Representatives in Con-
gress.
Tinkham's idea is, in brief, to cut
down the representation in Congress
of Southern States which, he alleges,
deprive the Negro of the right to vote.
He says that many States have dis
franchised large numbers of Negroes
and yet unconstitutionally retain the
same number of Representatives in
Congress as il giving to the white
voters a political power far in ex-
cess of that given to those voters in
other States.
