In no time since given the right to vote
has the negro stood SO united politically as
| he is today
The negro is republican by birth and
Inheritance and always will be so as long
as the prices stand as they do today. What
sense is there in race leaving party that
| was their friend and will continue to be
their friend. Will the negro stand firm for
the eountry's honor and preservation like
lie did IN the past? Will he be numbered
among the patriots of America OF among
the destroyers Of good government? Will
he ally himself with good patriotic citizens
we cannot afford to do otherwise. There
are some classes found in our population
who may afford to 60 against the best in
terests of our country, but let the Afro.
! American be the last. Let us not be leo
astray by the visionary schemes of The
\ dreamer 1t takes more than dreams tc
run this great nation of commerce ane
business. Its interests are too great ane
its institutions too sacred to hand over tt
the control of such men us Tillman ane
Jones.
\ Can an honest colored man afford tt
Change his vote?
