(By Joseph c. Manning.N


There is not a member of Congress
from the states In the South, which
have enacted laws abridging and deny

in Congress through Constitutional
right or title.
There is absolutely no question

OF representation shall be reduced
in the event of denial Of the Fight
TO vote, and therefore those delegat

with this declaration are there illeg
ally.
Laws have been IN force for years
in the Southern states that were en-
acted with the avowed purpose Of
disfranchisement aud no one will
dispute that there laws have effected
that nch'ecment. The continu-
cl tolerance Of delegations in Con-
gresl, in defiance Of the provisions Of
the Constitution Of The United Stat
