SPEAK IN Fulton on Wednesday, night,
Octoper 10Th, under the auspices of the
City Democratic Committee.
IN striking contrast with the remark
able conduct Of President Roosevelt In
entertaining negro at his table in the
White House are the utterances Of Pres
and political equality between the races.
Reference to the journals of the Under
wood Convention shows that the mi
nority report of the Suffrage Committee
of that body signed by Messrs. j. L..
Marye, Jr., J. N. Lissett, Eustice Gibson,
and Norval Wilson quotes from Mr.. Lin
coins speech made at /. Columbus Ohio,
in his canvass for the Senate against
Stephen A. Douglas, as follows:
Il am not, nor ever have Been. in
! favor of bringing about in any way the
social and political equality of the black
and white races. am not In favor OF
making voters or jurors of negroes; of
qualifying them to hold Office or to
ntermarry with the whites. 1 am as
much in favor as any man of having the
| superior position assigned the white
race.
Prominent Democratic leaders are be-
ginning to express the fear that the Re
publican party under the new leadership
| OF President Roosevelt will attempt
again to foist a force bill upon the peo-
pie of the South. Their faith has been
shaken in the President by his recent
dining with Booker Washington in the
White House. and they say they believe
it forecasts an effort to bring about an
other attempt to pass q force bill. and
t. otherwise taunt the Southern. people
with governmental policies. Itcoes seem
that whatever degree Il confidence the
new Presi1en, had l.:."t III among IT,.
Southern people by his declarations to
stand by the policies Of his distinguished
predecessor has been deliberately cast to
the four winds by his recent remark
able departure from the usual way OF
conducting the social side OF life in the
White House.
