TILLMAN ROASTS "NIGGERS"
I
South Carolina senator talks in Chicago on subject
wnich concerns South and minces no words ? Says
Caucassian are made of better clay than Mongolians
and Ethiopions whom "God intended for carries."
Chicago, Nov. 28? Despite threats !
upon his life Senator Tillman devoted
a considerable portion of his address j
last night at Orchestra Hall to the |
negro question. He was surrounded by i
40 policemen under the command of 1
the assistaut chief of police in spite of
bis protest against their presence. Po
licemen mingled with the audience and j
with the crowds outside the building.
Many negroes were present at the lec- 1
ture. There was an immense audience,
Speaking of the refusal of Mayor
Dunne to preside at the meeting SeDa
tor Tillman declared that he cared
nothing for that as "Mayor Dunne is
but a creature of the political hour."
The senator said that if the 15th
amendment to the constitution were
enforced literally it would place two
-states, at least, under negro domina
tion. To attempt its literal enforce
ment, he said would make South Caro
lina red with human blood.
At this statement a roice cried out,
"How about the law?"
"Tohell with sush law," roared the
enraged South Carolinian..
The speaker referred to the counting
out of Justice Barrett, the colored law
yer of Chicago, who was given a plu
rality of the votes for one of the munic
ipal judgships, by a white election
board. Ha said the voters did not
know what they were
voting for when they cast their ballots
for Barrett.
"When God made the races," said
Senator Tillman, "he made the Cau
cassian out of better clay than he used
when he made the Mongolian or
Ethiopian. The Aftrican was intended
by the Almighty to be a burden
carrier."
Senator Tillman blamed the people
of the north for the assaults on white
women by the southern negroes. He
said their treatment of the negro was
such as to make him think he is as
good as a white man and to resent the
refusal of the southern whites to per
mit a comingling of the races.
Detectives will remain around Sen
ator Tillmau as long as he shall be in
Chicago and'until he leaves for Fond
du Lac, Wisconsin, today. This is by
order of Mayor Dunne, and in spite of
frequent protests by the South Caro
linian.
