JACKSON'S RECORD.

Hon. William II. jackson. the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in this
District, has been in Congress over
three years and in that time has done
less for his constituency than any man
who ever occupied the position he occu
pies. He has nothing to recommend
him for reelection but his money. He
stands upon the Republican platform.
and any white man who votes for him
votes for man who has endorsed (by
his claim that he stands upon his party
platform) social equality and the put
ting upon the same political and social
plane the negro and the white man.
Mr.. Roosevelt, whom he champions for
the Presidency, entertains the same re-
gard for a negro as he does for white
man. This is white mans State and
the people of this District desire to be
represented by man who has the con-
fidence and respect of the white citizens
of every county in the District. Mr.
Jackson is not the man, and a vote for
him is cast against the best interest of
the white people of Worcester county
We seldom pick up a daily paper that
we do not read of some negro attempt
ing to outrage white woman. and only
last week Mrs. Edward Lyons. of Dor
chester county, was seized by a negro
man while walking along the county
road and dragged into the woods. Her
cries for help caused her assailant to
run away before he had accomplished
his beastly purpose and he is now il h"
Dorchester Jail awaiting trial. These
things would not happen. and our wives
and children would not be in constant
danger of assault if it were not for Re-
publicans encouraging negroes to be-
lieve they are as good as the white peo-
pie. Every negro who can get to the
polls will cast his ballot for William H.
jackson for Congress, but we believe
no amount of corruption can prevent
the white people of Worcester county
recording their objection to the return
of Republican Congressman from the
First Congressional District of Mary
land
Every white mother in the county
should encourage her boy to cast his
vote this year for white supremacy.
Every Young white woman in Worces-
ter county should encourage her gentle
men friends to vote for candidate who
stands for the protection of her honor
and the public safety Every father
should think of the danger to his child
rem by the further licensing of the ne
gro by the Republican party. If these
questions present themselves to you as
they should, Mr.. jackson will remain
at home, aud Hon. Thomas A. Smith, the
candidate of the white people. will go
to Congress from the First District.
In speaking of the candidacy of Mr.
jackson, the Baltimore Herald says:
while member of the House his
voice was never heard for or against a
measure; he never asked leave to print
a speech, and only when he introduced
few private bills was his presence
known. OF these measures just one
was passed. The Congressional Rec
ord shows not only this, but it also
brings to light the fact that Mr.. Jackson
was a chronic absentee. The yea and
nay vote makes plain that upon twenty
two important bills and resolutions that
came before the Fifty eighth Congress
MIR. jackson voted only for one. In
other words. Uncle Bill voted just
once during the session on important
roll-calls. and on that occasion he voted
against subjecting renovated butter to
similar restrictions with oleomargarin.
This for a Congressman record would
he hard to parallel"
