the city has been conducted during the
past two years. It's funny how they
overlook good thing like this, but they
do.

The Negro World says:
The name Of Robert Smith Is received
with enthusiasm among all classes of
voters In every quarter of the city. 1t
was under his administration as mayor
that most Of the public improvements
We're either originated or consummated.
School houses and water works were
built and a system of sewerage was per-
fected. The taxpayers evidenced their in
dorSement or his method of spending
their money by re-electing him to office
unlike the Republican mayors, who have
rallied repeatedly to get even renomina-
ton from their party conventions to
serve as an Endorsement of their admin
iStratiOnS.
He is built on a broad gauge plan, and
when he was chief executive of this city
he found time to give attention and ex-
tend due respect to the views of all
classes of citizens, irrespective of the
avocation they followed or the size of
their bank account While he found 1t
impossible or impracticable to attempt to
abolish all the vices, he placed them
| under certain restrictions.
Bob Smith is especially popular with the
colored voters. In public as we'll as in
private he has received them without a.
single scintilla of discrimination. When
ever and wherever the opportunity has
been presented to advance their inter-
ests, by word or deed, he has done it
fearlessly.
OF the two Smiths, give US plain old
| Bob Smith-he has been weighed IN the
balance and was not found wanting.
The Republicans have made a very I'm
happy selection for mayor, SO far as the
colored people are concerned, as it ap-
pears that he is at the head of rental
agency that has uniformly Disseminated
against them. A very respectable colored
lady, whose complexion would Indicate
that she belonged to the Caucasian race
succeeded in renting a house from the
Chester Smith color line rental agency,
under a misapprehension in regard to her
nationality, but when it was discovered
a few months afterwards, that there re-
NAMED few drops of negro blood in her
veins, she was pre-emptorily ordered to
extracted and submitted to a chemical
analysis, or whether the Chester Smith
color line agency employs a chemist for
the purpose aforesaid, the records of the
inc tIIfin IN do NOT Ia 1fnY~
However, there are plenty of rental
| agencies that do rent houses to colored
people in this city, and it is conceded
they are desirable tenants
The opinion is general among the col
| ored people that Chester Smith will not
rent his houses to them. How can any
colored man vote for this color line rental
agency Smith without stultifying his
manhood? 1t is like kissing the hand
that smites you. If he would not rent
one of his houses to a. colored man he
certainly would not appoint one of their
number to place of: responsibility and
trust in case he was elected mayor. Vote
against him. early and often.
