Negro Contestant for Seat
Favors Lowden, Op-

BY ROBERT r. BARRY.
(Public Ledger Service.)

Chicago. June 1.-The Republican
national committee must face and
decide the race equality issue to-
morrow. 1t would be easier to avoid
1t, but the matter will not down. 1t
must settle now whether the lilly
whites" or the BLACK and tan" shall
dominate the party leadership in the
South. None but the gullible give
serious thought to the Importance
Of Republicanism in the South in
general elections. but in the Re-
publican convention it's another
story. Votes are votes, regardless of
their origin.
The issue is presented by the Geor-
gia contest. Henry Lincoln johnson.
a negro, is a smart politician. Louis
L. Emerson, treasurer of the Lowden
campaign committee, told the Senate
investigating committee that he had
sent $4,000 to Johnson Frank H.
Hitchcock. Wood manager, testified
that the regular white organization
would have had trouble except for
Johnson's activities. Johnson is 4
candidate for the national committee
against Roscoe Pickett. the Cauca-
sian aspirant. Johnson is for Low
den; Pickett is for Wood. Seventeen
votes are involved.
Hitchcock,s Fate i'm RaIaure.
The Hitchcock fortunes are at
stake in the contest, but the race
question takes precedence The
national committees decision will
determine whether the Hitchcock
star is on the wane or the ascend
ant; whether the former Postmas-
ter General shall continue to be the
mysterious ruler of the Southern
voters in the convention, command-
ing courteous attention of any
Presidential aspirant who might
need the Southern delegates to OBJ
tain a nomination.
Until late this afternoon IL ap-
peated that Hitchcock would run
second in the Georgia contest.

Vote 81 to ~
Worst Rebuff
In Long Fight
Underwood Leads Forlon
Few In Appeal to

By FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

President Wilson's appeal for an
American mandate over Armenia
was overwhelmingly rejected by the
Senate yesterday.
The vote was SO to IL.
That only a dozen members of his
own party supported the President
constitutes even a worse rebuff for
his international policy than the de-
Feat Of the treaty of Versailles.
Whether through incorrigible hos

yiction that the United States should
not "interfere" in European affairs,
The Senate now is definitely on
record in favor of a stay-at-home
policy.

bate to remind the Senate and the
nation of Americas moral obliga-
lions to the world. but they proved
