They Should be Proud

The Secretary, Hon. 7. N. Pear
son and Hon. e. w. Prince, nomi-
nee for Atty.-General, owe much
of their success 10 the talented
Young orator, III w. jameson, who
in the interest Of these two candi
dates travelled extensively, and the
colored voters throughout the state
listened with intense interest to
the manner In which he presented
their claims. Few men will spend
their own money and labor in the
interest of men, as did Mr.. Jameson
to secure the nomination of a can
didate or candidates without some
pledge OF a reward in view. Mr..
Jameson has had none of these and
yet he has dared to espouse their
cause. And at no time has he
swerved or faltered in their inter-
est. The State Central Committee
should see to it that Mr.. jameson
has a place among the speakers,
who will take the stump for re
publican success in November. AS
an orator he is second to none, as a
debatoI he ranks high. His knowl
edge of the tariff and other leading
issues is extensive. The coIored
voter should have some one to ex
plain the Australia system of vot
ing, for this, Mr.. Jameson is amply
qualified and should he be appoint
ed will do credit to the task he il
to perform.
The CAPITAL recommends Mr.
Jameson as a man who can be relied
upon and the colored republicans
are a unit for his appointment.
