GREETED is that we have through neg
ligence or incompetence lost golden
opportunity TO impress upon the world
our superiority in many other classes.
This work will now have 20 be carried
on in other tields aud by other means.
II was almost criminal to send over
here on high salaries a lot OF ineom-
petent men, ignorant of any except
the English language and as helpless
as babes TO compete in this field with
men Of thorough education aud flne
address, speaking fluently three or
four languages and au fait Ia all the
habits, graces and amenities Of cos
mopolitan life. The threadbare idea
that Yankee wit is able TO compete
anywhere with anything was never
true and TO adhere to it is stupid and
very expensive.

is A CONTINGENT CANDIDATE
Friends OF Former Senator Faulkner
Intimate He Might Ask For Senator
ship.


PARKERsBURG, W. Va. July q
Hon. Charles james Faulkner. one
time Senator from this State, who
was here Saturday acting as special
counsel for the Government in the
merry Work tobacco case, was
seen by your correspondent and ask
ed his opinion OF the political situa,
ton
He declared that he believed West
Virginia would return to the Dem.
ocratic fold, though he himself was
out of politics and was attending
to his law business alone.
He stated that he might conclude
to take hand in politics later
though he would not admit that in
case the State went his way that he
would be candidate for the Sen
ate. Regardless of thiss one of his
most intimate friends limited that he
believed Mr.. Faulkner would again
make fight for the position should
the Democrats win.
The fact that Faulkner did not
attend the State Democratic Conven-
ton here created some comment at
the time, but it was said that he
would not again be a candidate for
public office, and that be was closely
engaged attending to his practice,
which was taken as sufficient ex-
cuse.

A Poor Wheat Showing.
Evening Wisconsin.

Advices from the wheat fields Of the
Northwest are to the effect that the
crop is failure, owing to the contin-
ued drought, and that the farmers are
blowing in the stunted grain which is
heading now only few inches above
the surface. The extent of the dis
aster to the farmers may possibly be
.magnified for speculative purposes,
but there is no Disgusting the fact
that the grain crop will be very short.
The estimate is that Minnesota and
the two Dakotas will together har-
vest only about $4,000, 600 bushels of
wheat, as against 200, 900, 900 bushels
last year, and 225, 900, 900 bushels in
1898. This is tremendous falling
off that means heavy loss to many
farmers, in some cases amounting to
ruin.

Oldest Naval Officer.

Think of naval officer alive and
tolerably frisky, who was second
lieutenant before Admiral Dewey was
born. Capt. Francis Martin, of De
troit, who recently celebrated his one
hundredth anniversary, is that man.
He is the oldest naval officer in the
United States, perhaps in the world.
He received his first commission un-
der President Andrew Jackson.

Until the constitutional amend

vice president were voted for on the
same ballot, the man with the sec.
ond highest number OF votes becom
ing vice president The presidential
electors have not always been chos-
en- by popular vote. Before 1900 it
was the general custom for the state
legislatures to choose che electors,
and it was not until 1928 that pres
idential electors were chosen in near
ly all the states by popular vote. AS
late as 1876 the Colorado Legislature
chose the three presidential electors
to represent that state.
There is nothing in the constitu
ton to prevent any state legislature
naming its own electors without APP.
peal to the people provided such a
method OF election is prescribed by
the state laws. From 1900 to 1924
presidential candidates were chosen
by the members of congress in eau
Gus. In 1924 the electoral college
failed to make choice from the can
didates so submitted, and the mat
ter went to the house of representa-
tives. Four years later Tennessee's
legislature nominated Andrew Jack
son without any reference to the
congressional caucus His oppo
nent, John Quincy Adams, was nom
mated in the old way, but that was
the end of presidential nominations
by congressional caucus.
What may be called the first ma
tional convention was not held by
either of the great parties. 1t was
conducted by what was known as
the Anti Masonic party and was
held in Baltimore in September,
1881. Delegates attended from
every state (not chosen, however, on
basis of electoral strength), a
president and vice president were
nominated and platform was adopt
ed. The Democrats held their first
national convention in Baltimore in
May, 1882, 3l3 delegates being pres

was over the vice presidency, Gen
eral Harrison having walkover for
first place. His opponents eonven-

GREAT CONVENTIONS
Places Where They Have Been
Held Since 1882.

yenti0n City Years Chicago
Has Been Mere Deserving Of the
Title.

Title.
Baltimore mas been the scene of ,
national conventions more than any
other city in the United States, says
the New York Evening sun. Itcame
to be called Convention City. The
first national convention of the Dem
oeratic party was held there in MAY,
1892 The Democrats convened
there again in 1896, in 1910. 1871,
lS4S, 1852, 1860 and 1872. Wing
national conventions were held in
Baltimore in 1871, 1852 and 1856,
and the Republican national con
vention met there in 1861. Chicago
of later years has been more deserv-
ing the title. The Republicans made
Chicago their choice in 1860, the
famous convention at which Lincoln
was nominated. Since then the
Windy City has been the scene of
the following national conventions
Democratic, 1864; Republican, 1868.
Republican, 1880, Republican and
Democratic, 1884 Republican and
Democratic, 1896. New York city
seems to be Stunned by national
conventions. The Democratic con
yention of 1868 is the solitary rec
ord. Kansas City gets its first ma
tional convention this year. The
Republicans this year went back to
the scene of their first national con
vention, 1856. The Republican ma
tionai convention of 1872 was also
held in Philadelphia. The only 9th

! 1t should be remembered that the
Negro race is race of consumers and
as much as this is true, it is essential
that we be a race of producers.
When it reaches this point that the
colored man Is able to manufacture
as we'll as consume, he will have the
respect of all. Our industrial schools
are doing great deal il bringing up
our people to the realization of this
idea.
only lO1 persons were lynched in
America last year, which is 20 less
than the year before, and the smallest
number in any o1e year. since 1884
Of the lO7 lynchings, lob took place
in the South, and 4 in the North; of
these "a were colored. Over 60 per
cent of these lynchings were in four
Southern states as follows: Georgia
%; Mississippi IA; Louisiaan ID;
Arkansas IL.

One tronble with US as a race is
that we are not enough interested in
our own progress, not enough inter-
ested in our standing among other
races. We are too easily satisfied
and not very anxious to get far away
from the old landmark. We dress
well, aud talk we'll; but in far too
many cases that is all there is nothing
behind it. We need good stores and
business houses of every description
We must get money.

The Colorado statesman., 1900-01-27

Now. we come to the hardest point,
especially to you of the North. The
black man must make friends with the
white man. They must come together
and gradually they are coming to-
gether. There is this in our favor: AL
though wrong and injustice and out
rage is done the Negro in the South
there is little prejudice. If Negro
is skilled in any industry he is patron
lied by the white people almost as
much as by his own race Trade and
commerce are great things to bring
peace among nations and races. We
must make the white man partly de-
pendent on the Negro. Then they will
mix. There is no position in letters,
business or politics | withhold from
my people, but they must begin at the
bottom and lay the foundation sure.
IF anywhere Oh earth there is peO-
pie which follows the Scriptural in
junction. and when smitten on one
cheek turns the other, it is the Negro
race. The American Negro has always
been patient and put his faith in ulti-
mate righteousness. He went into
slavery and shackles and came out
with the ballot in his hands | ask you
if this race, which has made such Won
derful progress 'in the last few CEN
turies is not worth assisting? If it is
not, why then | assure you that there
is nothing in our country worth your
help"
The Colorado statesman., 1900-01-27

buy ing. Men buy where they can get
the things they want that are best and
cheapest. You've got to put brains and
skill in these industries. / say to you,
that the only way to solve the Negro
problem is to make the Negro useful.
You seldom see a black man beg
ging, and | am not begging now. We
do ask you to give these people teach
ers so they can learn to help them
selves. The greatest injury slavery
wrought us was when it deprived us
of the exercise of self-reliance and ex-
ecutive ability For 25O years every.
thing was furnished us by our masters.
You can't expect us to learn to provide
everything for ourselves in thirty-ive
years.
Il believe in Christianity, but have
always found that you can't make
good Christian out of a hungry man.
An old Negro song in Louisiana goes:
Give me Jesus and you take all the
rest This is one instance where the
white man takes the Negro at his word.
He takes all the rest. Gradually we
are teaching our people to mix industry
and thrift with their religiOn-and
when you teach these people this, you
are doing mighty we'll
Il am often asked What are you DO
ing to fix the relations between the
white man and the Negro in the
South? This is a subject to which ev
eryone should give his most careful
thought and attention. 1t is not yet
solved l have brought myself to SYM
pathize with the white man as well as
with the Negro. l have even gone
farther than some of you and taught
myself to sympathiZe with the south
ern white man. No race is without its
faults. and we have ours. But we must
build ourselves up. l do not propose to
be hated simply because | belong to
any race. Show me a white man who
hates a Negro because of the color of
his skin and Ill show you man TO be
pitied. We must be higher. broader
and more generous than he is. We
grow strong by. loving. we grow weak
by hating.
