REAPPOINT HON. JOHN W. ROSS.

Hon. John W. Ross is a true friend
to the Negro people of this city. He
was the first postmaster to give our
boys a chance as letter carriers and
clerks. He has devoted all the strength
OF his great influence toward perfecting
our school system, and is today a
champion of race autonomy in the
government of our schools. If Mr..
Ross had his way, the colorad superin-
tendentcy would be continued. We
hope President Mckinley will reap
point Mr.. Ross as District Commits
