A dispatch from Washington t< f The News and Courier says persons close to the administration regard the statement made hero by Senator Cullom, of Illinois, that the elimination of negro in the South would moan the immediate control of that section by the Republican party as being the real sentiment of the President on this subject. The Illinois Senator is close to Mr. Taft. In fact, he is one of the President's I" valued counsellors and political advisors. The fact that he rarely ever apj>ear8 In print and has littlo to say on public matters, leads to the belief here that his statement indicates the real mind of the President sinco the iatter's tour of the country. "Eliminate the negro from polities in the South?give that section of the j country an exclusively v. hitbailor, I or a francaisement which shall mean absolute and unequivocal white supremacy in the management of its whole affairs and there is not a j State below the Mason and Dixon's line which will not be found in the Republican column of the electoral college," Senator Cullom said. "The whole truth of the situation, " lie. continued, "is thut the South be- J lieves in and really needs the enforcement of the Republican doctrine of a protective tariff. Therefore, tlu?' people of that section would like I u/vfo in hr?hnlf of candidates?Con- ' vv ? vvv ? ? - " ? gressional, national and State?who would support such a policy. Hut they are held in leash, so to speak, by the fear of negro domination; the fear of colored men in otllce, both of the elective class and those appointed at Washington. They are afraid of the race issue; there can be no doubt that they are constantly :ln a state of excitement over the prospect of a colored vote of superior numbers, and naturally they cling together against the black man as J a matter of protection, not of their industrial interests, but of their per- j sonal affairs. | < 1 "But I am satisfied." continued j Senator Cullom, "that if the negro were not a factor in politics in the f South, there wouldn't be a State in that section which would not be in line with our party, and which would not support our candidates and their ! principles. Take a State like Ala- I bama, for instance. There is a com- s munity which possesses vast coal, ! iron and other industries demanding 1 a protective tariff. With her rank < * SUBSC nutritious^Y.

How can you blame communities lik** 1 South Carolina and Mississippi, for instance, for voting the Dcinocrath ticket when in some sections the proportion of colored population is ton blacks to one white? It is In (>>iiun unities likes these that the white people are afraid. "Now, mind you," Mr. C'ulloni went on, "I do not necessarily mean that 1 favor the total disfranchisetnent. of the negro. In Illinois, for instance, we have a large negro vote, iust as Ohio. Indiana, New Jersey and New York have. Hut up In these communities it is a different proposition. There appears to l>e a distinction somewhere between the two -eotions in this .respect, and the Northern colored man uses his ballot with wisdom and fairness. We are satisfied with hint, but it is notorious, of course, that the South is not. And if it were not for this colored ballot in the South, the .Mason and Dixon line would be wiped out of existance ??.- far as politics is concerned. The Democratic party, or what is left of it. would then be in a sorry plight, if indeed there ' would remain any Democratic party to be In any sort of plight. "Of course, the President doesn't ' intend to surrender any principle, I but at tin- same time lie is willing i to make concessions to the Southern 1 people commensurate with any fair 1 sense of justice. And likewise does 1 he intend to eradicate the Mason and Dixon line.

She was not held in the police station, however, but given over to the care of Mr. ICrwiu, who had previously received a letter from her sister asking that he attempt to locate her. She will remain with Mrs. lCrwin until her sister can bring her hack to Atlanta. According to the story said to have been told the police in New Orleans by Miss Volltner, she had first met Clark or Hill through an advertisement in a local paper, in which he stated that he wanted a. young girl to take a part in a vaudeville performance.
