free men and women only thrive
and continue to grow where they
are self-governing.
By the ratification of the 18th
Amendment the Federal Govern
ment will secure control in all cleo
tions. national, state, municipal,
even ward, of the votes Of the
white women, colored women and
colored men, and by colored
mean ell colored races-Indian,
Chineses, japanese, Negro. This
vote is approximately sc per cent.
of the entire voting strength of
the country. The white men alone
will be free in state and municipal
elections, but as they only repre-
sent 40 per cent of the voting
strength it would not be a very
difficult task for the Federal Gov
eminent to bring them under its
autocratic sway.
The cry sent out from the Ma
tional Democratic Party to Louis
lana to be the Goth state to ratify
and thus gain the gratitude of the
rest of the country is so weak that
it would be pathetic if it was not
SO dangerous, for it is tempting
men to throw aside their princi-
Piles and cover themselves with. the
cloak of expediency. God forbid
that the South should ever stoop
so low as to curry favor with the
northern and western democrats
by putting her head in this moose
by which they are trying to stran-
gle her future.
Besides the statement that the
amendment has secured all but
the one vote necessary to ratify
is not true. Ohio cannot be coun-
ted among the states which have
ratified until the Supreme Court
of the United States decides her
case which is still pending.
Neither is it true that if Louisi-
ana does not ratify and thus lose
that imaginary gratitude which
we are told the northern and
western democrats are yearning to
bestow upon us, that North Car
DINA will ratify and thus com
plete the 6 states. They sent out
this wolf cry about Delaware but
Delaware still stays out of the
fold, faithful to the unwritten
law if southern solidarity by

STATES RIGHTS.

Background the menace to our

place before you the dangers of
the situation as they appear to
the La. State Women Suffrage AS
ISOLATION.
While the race issue looms very
ominously on the horizon, it is not
the paramount issue. The issue
above all others is the danger of
giving one by one those rights
which belong to the states into
the control of the Federal Gov
eminent.
Much capital is being made by
the supporters of the 10Th amend
ment from the statement that
States Rights received its death
bow when the South urged the
ratification of the Prohibition
Amendment.
They either will not or cannot
see that the position taken by the
South on the Prohibition Amend
ment was taken as protest
against the invasion by the Fed
eral Government with its liquor
licenses into states which had,
under state enactment, voted
themselves dry, thus setting aside
the will of the people of those
states.
Put the difference between the
effects of Federal Prohibition
Amendment and a Federal SUI
frage Amendment is the difference
between the application of some
healing liniment to a great moral
issue like prohibition and the cut
ing out of the body polite the
great artery which leads right to

Another suggestion. Does not
a cause take on a sinister aspect
when only eighteen months ago the

suffrage by state enactment to be

the house-tops for justice to wo-
men, but said Justice to be Sc
cured only through one method

sponsors and one can read pretty
clear the spirit behind the meas
ure.
The reason for this whole
change of front on the part of the
leaders Of the Democratic Party
is because Of the pressure being
brought to bear by the negro vot-
ers in the North and West. who
are insisting upon the enforce
ment of the 14th and 18th amend
ment in the South. I do not ask
you to take my word for this
statement-read such admirably

character.

after realizing that good breed
