SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN

One of the most effective speak
ers in the house is Rep. Writ Court
ney, Tennessee war veteran, who
won his seat only last fall in a
special election. Three weeks later
he startled the chamber by making
the best speech of the neutrality
debate.
During his whirlwind election
campaign Courtney amply demon
strated his gifts as a silver-tongued
orator. His opponent was Mrs.
Clarence Turner, widow of his pred
ecessor.
1t was tough spot for a Southern
gentleman. To get elected Court
ney had to challenge Mrs. Turner'S
qualifications for the Office. At the
same time, he couldn't assail a
woman. This was the way he met
the problem: =
Ladies and gentlemen: find
myself in a very embarrassing po-
sition running against this beauti-
full and gracious lady. My family
came from Virginia; my father
served under Lee; but, friends, have
you been in congress when it was
in session?
Sometimes there is bedlam
there. Sometimes the lie is passed
and sometimes fists fly. Imagine,
my friends, if you can, placing in
such situation this beautiful and
gracious lady whose heart is in the
skies with one who has gone beyond
the last horizon"
The voters imaginations broke
down, for Courtney won with a two
to-one majority.

lis not willing to go back to the
horse and buggy days, as the
general concept of those DAYS is
generally described, he is ready
and willing to return to horse
sense in the matter of gaining a
livelihood. He knows that the
Republican party has never be-
lrayed the people by keeping
them out of war until an cleo
tom is over and then immediate
~ plunging them into a forcing
CONFLICT. He knows despite the
continued, and at times success
full, effort of some groups to
rldicule them into forgetting
the Indignantly that wa Abra-
ham Lincoln, that in all record
cd history, no Democrat has
arisen to do half as much for
them, while many of them are
always ready to do twice as
much against them.
Buy back the Negro vote?
Yes. yes, thrice yes. Buy them
back with q new meaning given
the Fourteenth. Amendment of
the Constitution of the United
States. Buy them back with
literal interpretion of the 18th
Amendment. Buy them back by
giving to them a realization
that they too are Il vital, inte-
grail part of We. the People.
Finally, buy them back by lett
ing them know that although
the statement that all men are
born free and equal is q mis-
homer, America is still the land
of opportunity for every man."
If these things are done, Mr..
Stokes concludes, the opening
phrase of the Declaration of
Independence, When in the
course of human events, it be-
comes necessary for one people
to dissolve the political bands
with which they have connect
them with another" will never
again apply with aptitude to the
Negro and the Republican party.

of Kansas composed of militant
young Republicans without re-
gard to race, color, or creed.
this week blasted away at the
recent remark of Congressman
| Arthur w. Mitchell that THE
| Republican party is attempting
to BUY BACK the Negro vote. ="
Mr.. Stokes is one of the young
err genration upon whose Shout
ders are soon to fall the burden
of keeping alive the principles
of the party. He has show UNI
usual ability and has the un-
! bound confidence and respect of
his fellows. He is thoughtful and
! analytic in dissecting the Con-
CHEESEMAN'S outburst.
Ironically Mr.. Stokes points
out that unless it (the Negro
vote) has some value the charge
of buying it back loses IFS elf
cacy as all intended Indictment
for o one wishes to buy (and
especially back) that which is
worthless"
Although the twelve million
colored peope in the United
States the normal per centage
being of voting age, a large pro-
portion of these he says, are of
no value to either party "for the
reason that the Democratic
party to which Mr.. Mitchell be-
longs Tor rather with which he
is identified), in the South, still
believes that taxation without
representation is not reprehensi-
BILE and so refuses them the right
to vote" He added: Having ar
rived at the premises that the
Negro has got something what
about the ACCESSIBILITY of buying
back such vote? The implica-
tons present in the phrase of
Congressman Mitchell, inferr-
ing that the votes of the Negro
at some time or other were
BOUGHT from the Republican
party, are, l think, true. Other
wise how can the Republican
party buy back what it never
possessed?
at is my opinion the Grand Old
Party should and will plead
guilty 10 trying to 're-enlist the
Negro in its ranks. Evidence is
seen on every hand of the success
es with which they are meeting,
and with the 1888 and 1889
elections not the least of these
barometer. The popular notion
that nobody shoots Santa Claus
has been lost in the painful but
true realization that Santa
Claus always removes his pres
erce and presents shortly after
Christmas and refuses to return
until the next Christmas, which
is always the next election.
Colored voters, Mr.. Stokes cX-
plains, now know that something
is amiss when the Democratic
party processes to be a fairy

country while IN another sec
ito it is found to be the wicked
witch who would boil them in n

The value of a window is

population of a town or city

good location in a day. In other
words, such a window in a town
