I "I have a good big front room In n

1 days out of my per diem of it a day."
I That's cheaper than I live now,”
I nid the other one. “It Is costing me

I I n got to cut It down somehow. A

Joe HIU Hall's opposition to the 2-

BURDEN OP SPEECH
IE BY MB, TAFT
Declares Grandfather
Clause Will Not
Stand Test.
Special to The Georgian.
Oreenboro, N. C, July 10.—The elate
Republican convention convened hero
yesterday. The feature of tho tension
was tho speech last night of Secretary
of War Taft.
The secretary discussed political con
dition* In (he South and expressed th*
hope that bo white people would di
vide so that there might be two politi
cal parties.
Discussing disfranchisement. the see-
retary sold that no law containing the
grandfather clause would ever stand
the teat ,of the United States supreme
court, and he further raid that any
educational test would operate to dis
franchise whites na well as negroes.
Secretary Taft, In opening, said that
when he was Invited to address tills
meeting the committee advised him
that the political situation was such
that It ths proper effort was made at
the coming election It would be possi
ble to carry the stats for tho Republl-
can | .11 r t * Tin- eci-iet.it v ml. led:
I believe that nothing that could
he pi-on In i lie politics In this country
would work greater advantage to tho
country at large nod to tho South Jn
particular than the breaking up of
w blit has been hll-.u ll a II-
‘solid South.' I say this In no partisan
spirit, for I am not on# of those who
think that this result would necessari
ly Increase tho probability of tho con
tinuance In power of th* Republican
Pa '%. solidity of the South has In n
measure furnished Its own antidote In
restraining many voters In the North
who might have left the Republican
>arty, but for what they regard as tho
njustlro and danger of Southern po
litical conditions.
'Tho South has been kept solid by
the specter of negro domination and
by stirring up racial prejudices and
arousing unfounded alarm over an Im
possible return of reconstruction days.
"After n long struggle," ho added,
'the negro's vote was made to count
for nothing and then ths political load-
of the dominant party com* to
Iso that dreadful demoralisation of
nil society that followed In n govern
ment If law was flouted and fraud was
to constitute It* basis. They cast about
to make the law square with existing
conditions by property and educational
qualifications which should exclude the
negro. They adopted nmendmenta to
state constitutions with tho so-called
ndfather clauses' Intended to apply
new quallflcntlons to tho negro and
not to apply them to th# white*"
He added that there "was enough of
Independence even among those rep
resentatives to give the vote which
made tho canol possible, but the very
fact that merely to accomplish somo
supposed advantage to ths Democratic
party, a majority of tha senators of
the South wore willing to sacrifice her
material Interests and delay the great
-rojert of such capital Importance to
. *r Indicate* the disadvantage that she
abora under In hnvlng It appear that
she Is tied Irretrievably to the Damn
c party."
_..e Republican party of North Caro-
I Inn, he declared, would be much
stronger as a voting >srty If all the
Federal offices were Ailed by Demo
crat*. "As long," h* added, "a* the
Republican party In Southern states
Bhall represent little snve a factional
chase for Federal offices In which the
business men and men of substance In
the community have no desire to enter
and In the result of which they have no
Interest, we mny expect the present
political conditions of the South to
continue.”
