But my purpose is TO call anew the at

to number OF facts relating to the friend-

tested toward the negro.
Major Savers has alwavs been a wise
and honest friend OF the black man.
First of all he favors the education OF

Is anything more needed to be said TO
convince any thinking man that Mr., Say

negro?
Secondly. Major Savers is believer in
law and order and Is opposed to mob law
and whitecapping evils which have met

Honest Joe Savers is as certain as any
thing human can be to be elected governor
but 1t Is very desirable that his majority
shall be an overwhelming one In fact
his election ought to be Unanimous.
The administration of Mr.. Savers bids
fair to be an ERA OF feeling"
II will be good sense and good politics
for the colored people OF Texas to give
their votes to- Major Savers In the coming
state election and help give him the DIGS
tige of glorious victory.
Let us not forget our friends. He who
helps most when help Is most needed is "A
true friend. Shall we prove unapprecla-
tive and ungrateful? ! say no. and honestly
believe that the negro voters OF Texas will
be practically unanimous for the Hon, j.
d. Sayers. rs the next governor OF this
State.
