Circular Of Black Democracy

Mr.. Charles j. Faulkner, Presiden! of
the National Democratic Executive
Committee at Washington, d. C., has
addressed a circular TO all the sub com
mitsses in the Union, in regard to their
action towards the na,uraEzed citizens,
and the bes. means to secure their votes
for the Democrats candidates. The
circular contains The following auestions:
/. What is the number of Germans
in your eounny! Are they born here,
or sm~ierants!
. Are there any French. Dutch, etc.,
there! and how many!
3. Are there amp German papers
printed there! if so, send US The weekly
edition Of each during the campaign.
4. To wha, church do most Of the
adopted citizens Of your country belongl
s. What is the political opinion Of q
majority Of them?
8. Have you any Democratic Clubs
there!
z. How have the nominations of the
National Democracy been received
among the foreign born ~oi.izsns.
8. On what ground is the opposition
10 The National Democratic parry based,
where such exists among them! This,
in order that we may send you the docu.
meats suitable 20 the case.
Mr.. Faulkner shows by This address
that he possesses decided ,alen, for the
duties Of chief Of police; i. isa PITY only
