- Lodge_Bill abstract "The Lodge Bill or Federal Elections Bill or Lodge Force Bill of 1890 was a bill drafted by Representative Henry Cabot Lodge (R) of Massachusetts, and sponsored in the Senate by George Frisbie Hoar; it was endorsed by President Benjamin Harrison. The bill would have authorized the federal government to ensure that elections were fair. In particular, it would have allowed federal circuit courts (after being petitioned by a small amount of citizens from any district) to appoint federal supervisors of congressional elections. Said supervisors would have had many duties, including: attending elections, inspecting registration lists, verifying doubtful voter information, administering oaths to challenged voters, stopping illegal aliens from voting, and certifying the vote count.The bill was created primarily to enforce the ability of blacks, predominantly Republican at the time, to vote in the South, as provided for in the constitution. The Fifteenth Amendment already formally guaranteed that right, but white Southern Democrats had passed laws related to voter registration and electoral requirements, such as requiring payment of poll taxes and literacy tests (which were often waived if the prospective voter's grandfather had been a registered voter, the \"Grandfather Clause\"), that effectively prevented blacks from voting. That year Mississippi passed a new constitution that disfranchised most blacks, and other states would soon follow the \"Mississippi plan.\" The Lodge bill was successfully filibustered in the Senate, without much action by the President of the Senate, Vice President Levi P. Morton, while Silver Republicans in the West traded it away for Southern support of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act.Julius Caesar Chappelle (1852–1904) was among the earliest black Republican legislators in the United States, representing Boston, Massachusetts and serving from 1883–1886. On a Friday in early August of 1890, Chappelle gave a political speech for the right of blacks to vote at an \"enthusiastic\" meeting in Boston in Faneuil Hall to support the Federal Elections bill. He was featured in a front page article in The New York Age newspaper covering his support of the Lodge Elections bill. The Republican Party had been founded in the 1850s, in part by abolitionists, and other slavery opponents called Free Soilers, who opposed any expansion of Slavery in the United States beyond the South, explaining why black voters were overwhelmingly Republican supporters in this era.".
