THE NEGRO VOTER BuLL-DoZED.
Dlsgraceful and bad for the good
name of the city rs these bloody affrays
at Republican headquarters are, the
worst feature of Saturdays shameful
Republican record is the barefaced politi-
cal immortality committed against the
negro voters in the Fifth, First and
Twelfth wards.
II is no use for the Higgins faction,
whose determination for political ascen-
dancy over the opposed Republican fac
ton at these primaries is the cause of all
these disturbances, to claim that Satur-
days record was simply negro riot,
simply an illustration OF darlScy exuber-
ance and pleasantly. This is untrue in
every shape and form.
The negro race made an effort Satur-
day last for independence. 1t is true
that in several of the wards they had
tickets OF their own. They did not ask
mucl-only one or two committeeman
here and there. The regular Rcpubli-
can ticket was interfercd with to that
extent only. For this they are called
boilers. The, colored voters reply is
that they are entitled numerically to
much more than they even asked for.
On the last day, Just before nomination
they found out that the Higgins leaders
had broken their promises and made
states largely excluding the negro.
This caused the independent ticket to
be issued. But the colored leaders in
slst that it is not an "independentn
as opposed to the Irregular" Republican,
ticket but that this is the trace" ticket.
And that is the term thai these A 600
colored Republicans wish to be recog-
nized under. They are for the colorod
interest first, and anyone else, Republic
can, or Democrat or anyone who may
help them, afterwards.
FIFTH WARD oUTRAaEs.
The Higgins managers made dead
set ut the Fifth ward polls, Eighth and
Jefferson. IL was suspected that tho
race" ticket would be strong here.
Ward workers were furnished with
campaign funds and the Higgins men
paid in cash for colored voters from the
Seventh ward and elsewhere to pour
their votes into the Fifth ward window.
The names of the payers and of the
payees are known. They were seen
doing 1t openly.
1t is known also for fact that over
so Of the Higgins faction tickets that
were voted were scratched in regard to
the names of Bach and Billany, while
that of Jones, colored, was not scratched
even by the straight "race" voters.
How, then, did the count turn out as
II. II. Billany, 1913; +. Eden Bach, 800;
James ). Jones, colored, 210? Besides,
200 yotes.is a large total under the cir
cumstances.
MORE ILLEGAL WORK.
In addition, the defeated candidate on
the trace" ticket, Vaudeville j. Ander-
sou, came up to the officials at the win
dow when the polls were closed and
nc IN g
every one, that the votes be counted in
public. He did this according to his
rights as a candidate. lie exhibited and
read the party rules requiring public
count OF the votes. But he was brushed
aside.
sob, you're all right" exclaimed a
prominent Higgins manager; you'll get
justice, Pierson is on the inside"
But he did not get justice. The place
was locked up while the count was going
on. Candidate Anderson nor no repre-.
sentative of his was present at the count.
He declares the whole transaction an
outrage.
81 could have made fight with them
there and then" Mr.. Anderson SAYS, "if
felt SO disposed. Men came right to
me and asked who il was that was caus-
ing the trouble. But told my friends
did not want the disgrace Of a fight at
the polls.
BAcH's "sNAP" NoMTNATIoN.
"Those Al votes polled in fuce of
secret count, unlimited buying of votes,
repeating and snap nomination prove
sufficiently to me and TO all other col

gress and interests of the colored race
that there is a nucleus Of true men in
