and has frightened the party in pow
er into an almost ANONYMOUSLY prod
igal program OF naval and militar,
expenditures.
1t is the greatest question of tn
age.
Only Four Possible Solutions.
1t is one, Mr. Chairman, which viii
permit of only four possible solution,
-amalgamation, determination, de
portation and segregation.
Those four propositions cover al
the ground and fiji all the space. W.
must inevitably resort to ore of then
to arrive at a settlement. Which one
shall it be?
Amalgamation.
Amalgamation, which means the in.
termafriage and intermixtures of the
two races, is too repulsive even fol
consideration. God forbid that the lire
of cleavage between the white mar
and the negro in this country should
ever be broken down! If it should
be, then America, once proud Aneri-
ca, wdlld soon find herself sinking
hopelessly into the implacable mire
of mongrelism. She would drop from
her exalted position US a world power
her boasted civilization would disap-
pear and she would ultimately become
the vassal province of some civilized
state.
Negro Not the Equal of the
White Man.
The negro is not the equal of the
white man, and he never will be. 1t is
just as impossible to reverse the laws
of nature by acts of this congress
and lift the negro through tens of
thousands of years of civilization, edu-
cation and development, regenerate
him, purge him of his weaknesses and
his instincts and endow him with
Caucasion strength, traits, and char
acteristics, and make him the peer of
the white man, as it would be to raise
to the level of intelligent, patriotic
craftsmanship the misguided, fanat-
ical, negro-pandering demagogue who
is always stirring this question up
and advocating negro equality.
&c 4l,1
If the white men Of this country are
not willing tc take a permanent stand
against such an evil, thank God, the
white women of the nation, the guar
dians of Our racial purity, will take
such a stand and maintain it against
all odds.
We people in the South are not
fighting this battle alone. But even
if we were, you could never force ne
gro equality or negro domination upon
us, so long as the sun shines. AS was
once said by the immortal Henry w.
Grady, we wrestled that section from
negro rule when federal drumbeats
rolled nearer and federal bayonets
hedged closer about the ballot box of
the South than it ever will again in
this free republic. (Applause)
AS time has passed away, the forces
Of white supremacy have been recruit
ed by the additions of millions of the
patriotic men of the
Sorth the East and the West. The
recent war taught the young men of
those sections what the negro really
is, and you will find that vast major
ity of those men who served in the
rank and file of the American Army
during that conflict and were sub
jected to contact with the negro and
had innumerable indignities imposed
upon them and their comrades as re-
suit of that contact you will find
that those boys are unqualifiedly in
favor of maintaining white suprem-
acy at all times and at all costs. Not
only that, but the millions of white
women who have been compelled to
endure in silence this negro scourage
nave been given the right to register
their protests at the polls and they
are going to forever set the seal of
heir eternal condemnation upon those
men who, as one woman recently ex-
pressed it "attempt to foist this be-
nign evil upon a thoughtless public"
The white women of the North resent
contact with the negro almost or quite
rs much as do the white women of the
South. l have seen them right here
in this city, the wives of the very
who expect TO vote for
this iniquitous measure-I have seen
the expressions of indignation and
righteous resentment on their faces
as they were trampled upon and push
ed aside by the brutal negroes in the
street cars of Washington. The white
women of the country are the ones
who as rule have suffered the in
dignities as result of your misguid-
ed policy toward the negro, and they
are going to manifest their protest
hereafter in no uncertain terms.
What has the negro done for him
