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.” “PIANO BOYERS PROFIT BY 00R PREDICAMENT” Wester Music Co.'s Sacrifice Sale of Entire Stock of Fine Pianos on Account of Having to Vacate Building.
