that they are afraid their daughters will mnuy negro hus
bands. At recent Democratic mass meeting IN ono
there thrtysX young ladies wearing printed notices

great heart OF UmOnoving women has no such fear
The Democrats say that if the Civil Rights bill il passed
the negro will walk INTO your paror and you attempt to
put him ont he viii commence m an action
under the Civil Rights bill. They should

pit into which he has fallen Only the strong Of the
people bridge the chasm between the President aud
