t MoHt of the ring tail Radi
cal. ronventions hove been
passing , resolutions falsely
stating that the Democrats
have "disfranehised" white
vters. There" is no. truth
whatever in this. Under the

an be jpqtjupn thp pfrma
nnt rplT this year whether
they have paid their poll tax
or hot. Let this be generally
knojyn it will refute the
Radical riiKfranrhispment lie.
In a letter to the ninety
wevefl Democratic county
chairman, State Chairman
Simmons, in discussing the
Election Law; as it is appli
cable to registration, refers
also to the payment of poll
tax, and says:
Vlt.will annenr from an
examination of the ;amend-
mentandof the Election Law
that the nonpayment of
polNtax is not a disqualifica
tion" for registration, but
under both the amendment
and the Ele-tion Law no one
is entitled to vote unlesi he
hall have paid his poll-tax
on or before the first day ofjrepreflenting the facts. In
May of the present year, un
h-ss he has bpcome of age
since the first day of Jims,
1901, (the. day for listing
taxes, for thtfprevioua year),
or. unless he was over fifty
years of age oh the first day
of ,lune, l"(iif or has under
the law been relieved from
the payment of poll tax by
the coupty commissioners.
In other words, when the
elector offers himself for reg
letration. it is not necessarv
that he shall exhibit his poll
tax receipt or show that he
bus paid bis poll tax for the
previous yeAr, but after be
has registered and before he
is allowed to cast his vote it
is necessarj that he shall ex
hibit to the Judges of election
his Doll tax receipt, or show
to the satisfaction of the
judges of election that he has
paid said. tax.' unless he ex
hibits his rereipt or shows
that his poll tax has been
paid he cannot vote. This
npplies to everybody except
the persons mentioned above.
to wit: those wro have been
relieved by the commissions
ers of ; poll tax or have
bpcome of agesinco June 1,
1901, or had pnsspd the poll
tax age at that time.
This is a complete answer
to.uli the talk of Republicans
about the disfranchisement
of white men for thp non pay
ment of poll tax. The Legis
lature of 1901 purposely pro
vided for registration with
out payment of poll tax. The
object was to allow all uned
ucated whites to register un
der ' the grandfather clause
THE WORST FORM.
Mul tudes arc singing the praise of
Kodol, the new discovery that is ma
kin? so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digesting
what they eat, by cleansing and
sweetening the 6torr.ach and by
transforming their, food into ' the
kind of pure, rich, red blood that
makes you feel good ail over. Mrs.
Cranfill, of Troy, I., T., writes: '!
for a number of years was troubled
with indigestion and dyspepsia that
grew into the worst form. Finally I
whs induced to try Kodol and after
using four bottles I am entirely cur
ed. I heartily recommend Kodol to
all sufferers from indigestion or dvs
pepMA.' Take a dose after each
meal. It digests what you eat. T.
J. Coffey and Bro.
during the eight years that
the books for registration up
der this clause are open, so
thathis right to vote; might
be preserved during the 1 rest
of hia life.;Thus the preserya
tion o the franchise of the
uneducated white man is not
made', to depend, upon the
payment of poll tax. lie may
register at any time during
these eight years, although
he may not pay his poll tax
and although he may n o t
vote or qualfy himself to
vote during the tiuip. When
ever, at any time during thp
balance of his life, he' wishes
to qualify bimspH to vote by
paving poll tax, he can do
ro. He will be registered on
the permanent roll and his
ight of frnnchisp preserved.
It will thus be seen that
the right of iran-hise in N. 0.
mder the law" does not dp
pent! upon payment df poll
tax. The. right to exercise
the franchise does depend
upon the payment of poll tax
but the right of franchise it
self does not, .Hence - the nb
surdity of the Republican
contention that the non pay
tnent ol poll tax disfranchises
a whie man.
If Piitchard ft Co. desire
to treat the people fairly,
they will apologize for mis
1900 the told the people
that if the amendment was
adopted it would disfranchise
forever all white men who
are not educated. 1 his year
they say that all white men
who have not paid their poll
tax are disfranchised. The let
ter of Chairman Simmon
shows that the last state
ment is as false as the first,
and there is not a scintilla of
truth in either.

Chairman Babeosk on the "Issues.'1
This paper has called atten
tion oh several occasions to
he amusing1 disparity be
ween the political opinions
of Congressman Babcock and
the party views of Chairman
Unbcock of the JJongression-
al campaign CommKtee.TAs
Representative of the third
district of Wisconsin Mr. Bab
cock delivered some very
bold and 'sensible utterances
on the question of cutting
down the tariff and depriv-
ng those industries that are
no longer 'infant' of the pro
tection they have enjoyed
or sjo many years.
This sentiment was regard
ed as significant of the prob
able atitude of the party of
which Mr. Babcock is a mem
beron the question of tariff
revision. Congressman Bab
ock was generally commend
ed for his independence and
courage,
But now listen to Chair
man Babcock. In an inter
view in New York he is quo
ted as saying th.it 'the spen
kipg campaign will be a de
fense of I he Republican poli
cy of protection and the gen
era I prosperity resulting
from that policy.' Asked what
position the party would
take on the Trust question
in the campaign hesaid: 'The
Republican party has a rec
ord on the Trust question
that was made in Congress
Here we have the official an
nouncement of the Chairman
of the Congressional Cam
paign Committee that the Re
publican speakers this fall
will not waste theireloquence
on the desert air, of Lew and
liveissuss. They will defend
the ancient principle of 'pro
tection and prosperity,' Why
should the spell-binders and
catDDaicn literature of the
party be devoted to a de
fense of prosperity or protec
tion? Protection, as a sound
economic principle for new
countries, where it is neces
sary to develop domestic in
dustry. is generally accepted.
The question is, Should the
protection be continued cn
the "infant industries" that
have grown into,great mo
nopolies and that are selling
in Europe cheaper than in
America? We refer Chair
man Babcock to Congress
man Babcock for an answer
to this question.
As for prosperity the kind
that reaches all the ppople
it needs no defense. Ou the
question of Trusts Chairman
Babcock says his party made
a "record ' in the jMltysixth
Congress, although he con
cedes the party in the ma
ioritv was unable to effect
any legislation.
But there has bepn a new
Congress in session since the
Iifry-sixth. How far must
we go back for the record of
a party on a live isjue of to
day? Iu the Fifty-sevputh
Congress not a word was nt
tpred on the subject of con
trolling the Trusts, nnl no
measure for their regulation
was advocated or enat-ted
into law. Isn't the Congres
sional "lecord" of the party
now in power on the subject
of Trusts one of Silence and
inaction?

Babcock of the campaign
committee to Representative

Congressman E 8. Bla-k
burn spoke here .Monday nf
ternoon and at night. The
best reply to bis speech would
be a rerbutim isproduction
of it. He has no argument to
offer, nor d(Ms he discuRS is-
sues." He presumes upon the
gnorance of his bearers and
leads them to believe that a
vote for the Republican tick
et is equivalent to a vote for
good crops and -high priced
cotton. He told his hearers
what American- citizenship
means, and of what a great
person Uncle Sam is abroad
under a republican nd minis.
(ration, but- how insignifi
cant under a Democratic.
His speech was noted for high
sounding platit udes. At times
his language was neither
haste nor elegant despite
the fact the ladies were pres
ent. He. seemed to be proud
of his fine appearance ns the
peacock docs for its plumage
and his every act and utter
ance is pregnant with the
suggestion that "I am Con
pressman Blackburn, and
you are a ''darn" fool if you
don't vote for me."
No one who heard him won
dered why he did not meet
Hon. Theo. F. Klnttz in a
joint canyass. His empty ut
terances would fall as fast
under Mr. Kluttr's withering
response as do the faded
leaves under the blasts of
autumn, rso, Mr. blackburn
was afraid of his opponent
and is simply too big n cow
ard to face him. H knows
that if the fallacious state
ments contained in his speech
are once exposed his chances
would be small.
His ability as a Congress
man is measured by his abili
tv at iDeech making. The
judgment here i that be i
too ignorant of national nf
fairs or else he is too lazy in
the enjoyment of a good time
to better inform himself.
From present indications he
will be overwhelmingly defea
ted.
