Whether or not 1t will pay to burn oil in

NOT A CANDIDATE.
Rev. Henry Newman Declines to Run
in the Sixth District.

There has been a gyeat,deal of recent
comment about proposed. colored inde-
pendent movement in the sixth Maryland
congressional district, and petition has
been widely clrculated' providing for the
nomination of Rev. Henry Newman of
Montgomery county as an independent can
didate for Congress- 1t is said that the nee
essary 800 signatures from voters to have
the name printed on the Official ballot have
been secured ~. ="
Today Rev Mr.. Newman, who is the pas
tor of a colored church at Linden, gave out
the following statement:
LINDEN, Md, October 0. 1902
To the Voters of the Sixth Congressional
District of Maryland:
Some weeks ago several colored men of
Washington came to me and requested that
I allow the use of my name as an independ-
ent candidate for Congress In the sixth
district. They stated to me that party
had been formed In Washington which had
for it's object the betterment OF the colored
people and that l should run on that plat
form While had always been loyal re-
publican, I was and am anxious to do any
thing l can to better my race, and with
that desire l listened to the statements or
these men, After several weeks of travel
ing around and canyaSsing the sentiment of
the colored voters of the sixth district, and
particularly of Montgomery county, have
become convinced that 1t would be great
wrong to the colored people to run an indie
pendent colored candidate for Congress from
this district. l have found that the colored
people are, almost to man, IN favor or the
reelection of Mr.. George A. Pearre, the
nominee of the republican party. They be-
lieve him to be their friend, as his father
was before him, and they will not support
any movement which might imperil his
chances of success.
I therefore feel it my duty to announce
that l am not a candidate and will not be
a candidate against Colonel Pearre In the
sixth district, but that l shall do all l can
to secure his election by an increased ma
jority. Very respectfully
(SgneO HENRY NEW MAN.
