TWO STATES WARN ON NEGRO ISSUE APPEAL GOES OUT FROM DEMnrpatq in r.FORGlA. Chief Executive of Arkansas Says White Supremacy in Jeopardy. P. H. McGowan in Columbia State. . ' . Washington, Oct. 16.?At the same time that a strong appeal from the Georgia headquarters of the national Democratic committee appeared here today also came an even stronger deimand from Governor Brough of Arkansas to Governor Cox, warning the people of the South to look out for negro rule and Lodge killft oltAlllr] TToivtina? Ko olppfpH IWItC DU19 OUVU1U liui Uiitg wv - president. , - In part the Georgia statement is as follows: "Migration into the North Central states has made the negro vote a potent factor. In some districts it is the balance of power. Senator Harding and his party in bidding for this vote have made dangerous pledges of recognition. As earnest of these pledges Henry Lincoln Johnson, negro, was placed as the Georgia member-of the national Republican committee. Republican success in November means Georgia postoffices, and other federal places filled by negroes. ? . "This menace coupled with the *v magnificent record of Democracy appeals to Georgia Democrats for sup fport." r. .. , . Following is Governor Brough's statement: . "On my arrival in Columbus, Ohio, in connection with the speaking tour through Ohio and.the Middle West, I was astonished to learn from my friend, W. W. Durbin of Columbus, chairman of the Ohio Democratic state executive committee, that a negro journal, the Toledo Pioneer, is urging race equality arid urging the negroes to unite at the ' PollsKgr. "This, of course, strikes at the i ' very heart of white supremacy and v it is current knowledge here in the -f Middle West that if Senator Harding .and the Republicans triumph, an effort will be made to pass a force ^ bill, which will mean federal bayonets to supervise Southern elections. ' "Senator Harding's recent speech to the neeroes at Marion, has great ly encouraged them in this, so much / so that William M. Trotter, negro, l editor of the Boston Guardian, in his recent ad' 'ess on 'A Christian Government,' before the negro Baptist convention at Memorial hall, said: It is an abuse to teach the black Br * v > ; American, he is too low down to dare have trouble with a white man and '/ get court trial; too inferior to have authority over or with white men in . government; too inferior to have a hotel room, to have a shave, to have a theatre seat or a meal in a restaurs* rant where other people get these ac eommodations.' "Thi3 presidential election. means gp i everything to the South and I urge you as a high minded and splendid representative of your great commonwealth to become active in explaining to your people just whal &V- . Senator Harding's triumph woulc mean in robbing the South of hei most cherished birthright, AngloSaxon supremacy. "You will remember that Senatoi Henry Cabot Lodge introduced th? / force bill in the house of representatives in 1889, and secured its passage in that body, but it was defeated in the senate by the filibuster oi great Southern and some fair minded Western senators. r "Please urge the Democrats 01 your state to be thoroughly alive as to the seriousness of the situation and also get immediately in touch with the state chairman and urge raising of funds to be sent to the national treasurer, Wilbur Marsh Grand Central Palace, New Yori . city."

The reason . is clear. Our people are quick to * recognize insincerity." 5 Reiterating that President Wilson i before returning to Paris in March, t 1918, had conferred with senate andj > house foreign affairs committees, and ! . approved league covenant changes,! Governor Cox said that Senator! : Lodge formed "the base conspiracy to stab the treaty in the back." "But even before the president , had a chance to return to Paris," the I governor continued, "the base con- j spiracy and the infamous round rob- j t in was under way and the nefarious j pledge had been made to strangle the I to Heath. From that dark day |, until now, no means have been too i vile to employ, to traduce American ( i opinion and betray the confidence of ( the electorate. And Lodge's leader ship was made possible only by the , vote of Truman H. Newberry, now ; > I under conviction in the state of ? Michigan, for having purchased his i seat in the senate. Falsehood Like Leaves. ] I "Malicious falsehoods have been scattered like autumn leaves, and ] , the hypocricy of Lodge, himself, is one of the outstanding black events < i in American history. In the light of [jhis earlier recorded pronouncements, he has been forced to stultify him- j , self over and over again. He has ; libeled and slandered no man more 1 than himself. He is supporting a can- 1 didate who voted for the Knox reso- i lution for a separate peace with Germany, and who has since publicly advocated the same unworthy ,ict." j Citing Senator Lodge's statements j in 1918 against a separate peace and j the senator's Union college address; for world peace Governor Cox add-| sd: | "in view or tne present attuuue of Senator Lodge, as the acknowl-' edged leader of treaty wreckers, it is certain that he has neither honesty of purpose nor sincerity of mind. It is up to the state of Masachusetts right now to repudiate his leadership and at the earliest possible moment retire him forever to private life." Ovation for Eliot. Governor Cox was delayed in his arrival at Harvard union, and the meeting was opened with an address by the presiding officer, Dr. Charles W. Eliot, who for 40 years was president of the university. Dr. Eliot, who received an ovation from the undergraduates, defended the league with a vigor that belied his nearly 87 years. He declared that the statement recently signed by 31 distinguished Republicans and friends of the league misrepresents both the Democratic platform and its candidates. How the 31 gentlemen could have signed the statement was a mystery to him, he said. President Lowell of Harvard was one of the 31 signers of the statement attacked by Dr. Eliot and the speaker's reference to the motive for the statement as something mysterious to him evoked both cheers and hisses. When finally Governor Cox appeared a din was raised that continued several minutes. He was briefly introduced by Dr. Eliot and immediately launched into an appeal for the league of nations. One of the largest crowds of Governor Cox's campaign gathered on the Common and waited several hours, as the candidate's schedule delayed his arrival until 10:15 o'clock. All about the Parkman bandstand, the Common's rostrum, a great circle of humanity, containing many thousands, roared its greetings. Mayor Peters introduced the governor, who was joined here by JSenator Harrison, chairman of the Democratic speakers' committee. The great crowd stood, almost a solid mass, for yards about the rostrum, where the governor stood. Tragedy of Ireland. Governor Gox got his first cheers by his reference to the Irish question. The situation in Ireland, he said, had become a tragedy and conditions there were such as to concern the science of the world. If elected presiednt, he said, he would bring the case "to the bar of public opinion of the world" through the league of nations. Article 10, he added, would be appreciated by Ireland when she obtains her independence "because of its territorial guarantee." Governor' Cox's criticism of Senator Lodge received prolonged applause and cries of "Right yoii are." Holding what he calls a "town tnootinor" with rmestions and answers from his audience, Governor Cox was asked: "How about entangling alliances?" "They say George Washington proclaimed that/' the governor answered. "It is doubted Whether he did, but if not Jefferson did. They say the league runs in contravention with that pronouncement. Well; George Washington did a lot of things we are not doing nowadays in America. George Washington owned slaves. George Washington owned a distillery." Applause and some cheers followed this statement. "What do you think about prohibition?" was another question. "My friends," rejoined the governor, "I know you have a wholehearted in+orocf in +hp snhient. When I take the oath of office as president I shall do as I have three times done as governor of Ohio?swear that I will perform all the duties of that office and uphold the law of the nation." "What - about the bonus?" a discharged soldier asked. "I stand," was the governor's reply, "with the action of the Cleveland convention of the American Legion on that." "Good for you," the heckler responded. This ended the questioning and Governor Cox went on with his discussion of the league of nations. Expert Testimony.
