COLORED VOTERS AROUSED
In the San Francisco Call of October oath |
j. j. Ncimore, president of the Afro-Amer- |
can State league, is quoted as saying that |
"the colored vote will go solid for the Re-
publican state ticket"
This statement has aroused the Demo-
Gratis in the league, and they have issued
statement in which they say: IF Mr.. Nci
more made such statement he knows it to
be false"
The statement goes on to say that the Re-
publican ticket has never been indorsed by
the local branch of the State league, and
that fully 90 per cent of the colored votes
viii not be cast for the Republican ticket,
and that every voter who revolts against
such program is member of the league,
and that those who will vote against the
Republican ticket represent the intelli-
gence, business and progressive element of
our people"
1t calls attention to the fact that when
NJ. Neimore called meeting of the league
only sixty-fve were present, while at the
same time at the fusion meeting there were
thousand colored voters present, and it
declares that the Republican managers are
driving the intelligent members Of the race
into the fusion fold. The latter, the coored
men declare, treat their allies well, taking
them into their councils and placing one on
their ticket as a candidate for the city 4
board of education.
The statement is signed by Charles C.
Flint, ex-first vice president of the State
league, and ex-president of the Los Angeles
league; j. X. Ewing, ex.president of the
local league; b. +. Douglas, editor of the
Echo; Charles Mslhado, president of the
Colored Silver Republican club; j. l.. Ed
monds, Edward Brookins, George s. Tay-
lor, NJ. d., and NJ. T. Sykes, NJ. d.
