supreme and abiding constancy

the nursing bottle Of the insolvent

Who is dat? John l.. Currie, of
Moore. Hurrah for Moore
We were in conversation the other
day with a gentleman of this county
whose hair had been whitened and
face furrowed by the hand of time,
End whose step had grown unsteady
from the shere weight of years and
he remarked that he had been during
all the years of his majority voting
the Democratic ticket in this county,
and in all these years it had never
been his privilege to vote for but two
different men for Clerk of the Court.
Let us give him one more chance.
The hope of Mr.. McDonald's and
Currie's nomination lies in the ma
nipulated primary that will organize
a convention on the principle of a
greater measure of personal loyalty to
them, than to the party. Nobody
knows better than they that their
nominations wor:d be in contraven-
ton to the majority wishes of the
majority wishes of the Democratic
party of this county
Go to the primary and vote for Mr..
Currie and Mr.. Mcdonald and you
will have done all you can do with one
vote to return Mr.. Pritchard to the U.
S. Senate.
The man who says that the rank
and file of the Democratic party of
Moore county believes and desires the
long and indefinite perpetuity of its
county officers, either does not know
the sentiment that obtains among the
masses, or else the truth is not in him.
A nomination obtained by the meth
DDS of the political didapper and
sleight of hand performer is a stencil
in the nostrils of our self-respecting
citizenship.

The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1902-05-16

Claude G.. Bowers, of indianapolis,
speaking upon The Negro Problem in
Indiana, said at democratic banquet:
" Time has demonstrated the political
incapaclty of the negro as race, his
moral inferiority, his intellectual limi-
tations, his pitiful subserviency to the
republican party. No crime so base but
the republican party can rely upon the
ignorant acquiescence of its negro aux
iliaries. No other political organization
can secure an audience. Reason is met
with an ignorant guffaw. Persuasion
is rebuked with sneers and insults.
Thus the Indiana democracy
enters every campaign handicapped by
thousands of voters whose position is as
unvarying as the north star. On more
than one occasion the mind and con-
science Of this common wealth have
been outvoted, violated and invalidated
by these colonized negroes from the
black belt Of the South The statistics
of the poll books show that the party
whose boasts Of the social superiority of
its composition would, without the SER
vile cooperation of the negro popula-
ton, be in a hopeless minority. When
Burke and Mcguire, elected by mag
nifcent majority of tn e whites, are
overwhelmingly defeated through the
instrumentalitv of the iusolent black
proletariate it is time for a proper ap-
probation Of civic responsibility to
suggest Some solution. X

Over his open grave nothing could
