H. is because the Republican party
cannot pOinp us to II single State in Tx
south where they ever reduced taxes 81
the public debt. IL il because the Ike
publican party in the heyday OF its
bower in The south never appealed Il
the intnlligunt or thrifty elements OF so

on sUliiiiyiug the colored vote by Il

Texas who don't affiliate with the party

must put itself OF "a respectable basis IN
