Can Afro-American voters support
Bryan? 1t is plainly seen that if Bry-
an is elected Pitchfork Tillman will be
in his cabinet In his speech before
the United States Senate Feb. "A, 1900,
Mr.. Tillman said in part: ''I know
nothing about other states but I ac-
knowledge openly and boldly in the
sight Of God that we did our level best
to keep every Negro in our state from
voting.' With this declaration ring
ing in our ears, can any Afro-Ameri-
can man who loves his race, go to the
polls and vote for the man who will, if
Bryan is elected, dictate the policy of
this country? Mr.. Croker, the leader
of Tammany, and who controls the
police of New York city, and who led
in urging the mob against the helpless
Afro-Americans in that city not long
ago, will be in Bryan's cabinet. Can
Afro-Americans who are permitted to
vote cast there ballots for men who
openly seek to disfranchise their
brothers who are in the far South?
