CLAIM SOUTH WAS III
OVER REPRESENTED
sr IN G. O. p. MEETING
Chicago Tribune Says Southern Negro
Vote Ineffective.

Chicago, July 9.-Under caption
FRotten Boroughs are More Rotten
than they ,Seem,'' the Chicago Tribune
has the following to say about southern
representation in the republican ma
honal convention held here last week:
"The delegates from the south in
republican conventions seem to repre-
sent something, no matter how small a
vote it is, but that vote is really no
vote. 1t is vote onl because it is
ineffective. So long as it amounts to
nothing it may be cast. If it were to
amount to anything it would be topped
by little decrease in the republican
vote. ...-..s. ..f
$50 far as Negro voting is permitted
in the south it is upon the condition
that it shall be ineffective. The south
cannot take chances with effective
Negro voting. Neither would the north
take chances. When there are enough
Chicago Negroes to elect Negro mayors,
judges and legislators, even William
Hale Thompson will be with the domi-
nant white minority.
"The southern republican vote is so
manipulated and controlled by the dem
ocrats that it cannot count for presi-
dent. Occasionally southern conA
SreSS1oIdi ulSlfict, LII some ITluSc StdGS,
elects a republican congressman. It is
so rarely done that it is a piece of
news of national interest. The south
is solid and the north is solid bone.
Because republican administrations
want to capture this block of southern
carpet baggers the northern republi-
cans permit their organizations to pre-
serve a system of representation which
diminishes the legitimate power Of
representation which diminishes the
legitimate power of northern votes by
giving inequitable power to southern
delegates. N+
eff the south voted in republican
conventions as it votes in national cleo
tlons no one would care whom the south
ern delegates were for. There would
rot be enough of them. In the system
Of representation now governing, north
ern republicans have one delegate for
about every 10000 votes; southern car
pet baggers have one for about 5000
votes; and the, southern votes are not
!! really votes. They are ficti6ns. .-.
''The next republican president will
not oppose the system. He will use it.
| The time to make a change is when
there is no republican president.

San interested audience listened at
Aolian hall to Mr.. Roland Hays, colored
singer, and quickly found him desery-
ing Of respected attention. He has a
tenor voice capable of sweet or ringing
quality throughout useful range, and
he has been at pains to acquire all the
elements of ighly-cultured "vocal-
ism.'' He delivered Puccini s "Che-
eelida mania I'm Italian-and Bet,
hoven's "Adelaide' with extreme re-
finement, set an example which i-eany
English singers would do well to copy
by combining clear diction with I'M
broken phrasing. He needs, however:
to guard against generalization OF
style at the expense Of naturalness and
open tone production. His programme
included songs in French and Negro
'spirituals' Accomplishments were
played by Mr.. Lawrence D. Brown.
