Rnh TAYLOR nlnh

Thursday night to organize a 30
Taylor club. Laps. d. McCor,
vas made temporary chairman AM
H. M. Grigsby temporary secretary
The chairman stated that the pri-
mary object of the proposed organ
ization was to insure our standarC
bearer hearty reception when b,
comes to Pulaski and to call on
the full party vote on election day
He said that the organization of til,
party IN Giles at this particular
time might easily increase the dem
ocratic vote in the county. Thu
republicans are disorganized. They
have split at the color line. Col
ored republicans have cut loose
from their white leaders. Loca
causes have added to the distrusl
that has been growing ever since
Cleveland's election. Colored re
publicans see that they have been
deceived by their leaders and they
can be persuaded to leave the par9y
that deceived them.
