For some time Mrs. Mccormick has

MOSES TO FIGHT FOR
NEGRO VOTES.

Washington, Jan "a New Eng
land man plans to lead another at
tack on southern representation in
Congress. This time Ii Is Senator
Moses of New Hampshire, who in
tends to bring the matter up in the
Senate. Representative George II. Think
ham of Boston was 1ecisively beaten
in the House when he moved to re-
duce the, representation of states
which refused voting privileges to
many of their citizens The object
ef his attack, of course we-e those
southern states which practically de-
bar Negroes from voting. 1t is UNDER
stood that the proposition of Senator
Moses has the same general principle
back of 1t.
In the course OF the Ford -Newbury
case debate Senator Moses launched
a spirited assault on representation
of certain southern states. up to New
Hampshire we have to fight for our
nomination and then fight again
for election he said referring to the
situation in some states where nomi-
nation Is equivalent to election.
chiefly because southern Negro Re-
publicans are not allowed to vote.
The reapportionment bill is now be-
fore a committee Of the house. It's
the hope of Senator Moses that he can
rally more support in the Senate than
Tinkham could in the House.
