Tho Negro In Delaware

voters. Tue white Republicans know
that in q State like Delaware where
racs prejudice runs so strong, It would be
suicidal for them to permit the negro TO
be brought too much into public notice
Their whole endesvor has been to vote
him on election day and keep him 10 the
background at all o.h,r times.

We feel assured now that j. Frank
Alice. the Addieki leader OF East Dover
hundred. never walked into Clerk Of the
Peace Dlcksons Office and threatened
TO hang him unless he produced the
"scrap" assessment for Kent county, for
II he had Mr., Dickson would have picked
him up by the back OF the neck and
drowned him In the eff 20 water pitcher
Mr. Alice is entirely too email man to
be walking around Kent county with a
rope In his hand and a gsllows on bis
shoulder. We should seriously dis
like TO see Mr.. Alice hurt while looking
for SCRAP" whether It bs Of the as
sessment variety or just the ordinary
every day sort. II he become 30 intem
perste In his language however the
company In which he carries his accident
Insurance will cancel It's risk.
