would be taken before Johnson's case
could be disposed of, and to appre-
bend that he might be given a recess
appointment. in which case it would
be very difficult to get rid of him be-
cause he would have possession of the
office; therefore, after having eX.
planned my Intentions 20 several of
my Democratic colleagues ] went to
one Of The leading Republican sena-
tors and proposed TO show him the
papers in my desk; this was done, and
d subcommittee was appointed to
examine the evidence.
Immediately afterwards, Mr.. c.
2. Goree, of Atlanta, acting for John
son, refunded the money which john
son had virtually stolen from his ne.
gro client.
This was done on July 2Sth and |
will repeat, that the restitution of the
embezzled money took place after |
had delivered the papers to the Re
publican senators.
"In other words, johnson confessed
his guilt, by returning to his client
the money which he had virtually
stolen.
or COURSE, President Harding is
" not supposed to look up the
record of those whom he appoints to
office. and it is inevitable that he
should now and then be imposed up
on; but | am astonished that a white
man like C. P. Goree should go to
Washington and tell subcommittee
of the senate that Johnson was a
member of the Atlanta bar and in
high standing, and that he himself
G. P. Goree-should pose as white
Democrat, vouching for the good
character of dishonest negro Re
publican.
In this connection, | will publish
the following letter:

"'Dear Senator: | have your fa-
vor of the 9th requesting me to give
YOU the date of the settlement of the
case of A. G. Taylor VS.. Lincoln john
son, being a money rule. My files
show that this case was settled July
28th. 1921, the money being paid by
c. P. Goree, attorney for Lincoln

eff there is further information
can give you with reference to this
matter, it will be my pleasure to do
so. Yours very truly,
"'R. W. CRENSHAW.'
'If the news item in the Washing

ton Johnson's nomination will be re-
iected without any wrangle on the
floor of the senate and without any
hard feelings on either side of the
chamber.
IN making the fight on Johnson, |
did not raise the color question at
all; on the contrary it was he who
injected the race issue and tried to
escape thereby.
He and Mr. Goree used before The
subcommittee the resolutions which
the Georgia legislature had passed,
thanking me for the fight I was max
ing against his confirmation.
"Those resolutions do not disclose
the fact that he is negro, and there
fore do not raise the question Of
race and color.
"The committee doubtless saw that
President Harding had been grossly
imposed upon, and that the confrma-
tiop of a lawyer who had practically
confessed his robbery of a client
would hang milestone around the
Presidents neck"

THE people of the South owe an
everlasting debt of gratitude tc
Senator Thomas E. Watson, of Geor-
gia, if he never does another worthy
thing in his public career, for his
apparently successful fight in pre-
venting the confirmation of the NOM
ination of Henry Lincoln Johnson, the
corrupt negro politician of Georgia,
to be register of deeds for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Wholly alone, af-
ter the senate committee had brought
in a favorable report on Johnson'5
nomination, Senator Watson took up
the fight, secured proof of Johnson's
culpability and rascaity and submit
ted it to Republican members of the
senate The result was that action on
Johnson was reconsidercd. The ques.
ton of race was not raised. 1t was
shown that Johnson's misconduct was
in the practice of his profession as
lawyer in dealing with memoirs of
his own race.
The Times Recorder has had moth
ing in common with Senator Watson,
and little of good to say for him IN
the past other than to express the
hope when he entered the senate that
he would make a much better sena.
