NEARING THE END.

we nave only one mOr6 ISSUE vi the
MEssEGER before the election, and we
feel that we would be remiss in our
duty to the public as the exponent of
good government and the champion of
the plain people did we not sound again
the warning that Republican success at
the polls ON the Sth of November means
the abridgment of the rights of the
white people of Maryland. Have you
forgotten how only few weeks back
at the National Convention Of the Re-
publican party held in Chicago, one of
the pictures exhibited there for the
qualification of the hundreds of negroes
seated in the Convention hall was that
of little white girl and negro boy
standing hand-in-hand. depicting the
social equality desired and demanded
by the negroes and granted so far as the
party is able to bestow it. by the Re-
publican party.
You have not forg often that it was
Maryland negro who placed Theodore
Roosevelt in nomination for the Presi-
dency, and that it was Mr.. Roosevelt
himself who selected this negro as his
spokesman. and who cannot fail to give
heed to his recommendations aud en-
dorsement for appointments. if the Re-
publican ticket is successful.
You see. friends. this is no clap-trap
arUu snouf or d;Stort;o,, ,T f.o,, ~. .l,.,
truth. and you will be called upon 10
vote for or against candidates represent.
ing white supremacy on the one hand
and social equality aud all the curses
that follow it ON the other.
Hon. William III. jackson the Repub.
lican candidate is the nominee of the
negro-loving. negro serving, social
equality. Republican party. Hon.
Thomas Alexander Smith is the nominee
OF the Democratic party which has de-
clared that the white man is and shall
be the political ruler of Maryland and
the nation. 1t is opposed to social equal
ity. 1t declares that the negro in not
the equal of the white man, and never
shall be.
Now. do you feel that you can consist.
emily line up with the Republican party
as represented by Mr.. Mr.. jackson
alongside of the solid and arrogant
negro ranks? Do you realize that the
only thing under heaven that has re-
commended Mr.. jackson to the Repub-
lican party as Its nominee for Congress
is the fact that he is the possessor of the
pecuniary means to corrupt the voters
of the First Congressional District? He
certainly has not the mental ability de-
manded by the best people of this Dis
trict of their Representative III Congress
and the white people of the First Con-
gressional District will need to hang
their heads in shame If he is returned
to Congress. Senator McComas. the
man who voted for the Force Bill"
when he represented the Sixth District
in Congress. in a speech in Cambridge
this week. said that there were grave
doubts of the election of Republican
Congress and he urged his hearers there
fore to make every endeavor to elect
Mr.. jackson. For the very same reason
every Democrat, yea. every white man,
should cast his vote for Thomas Alex
ander Smith, for his election may turn
the majority in Congress over to the
Democracy the friend of the white peo-
pie of Mary land and the South.
In conclusion we urge upon every in
IellIgent reader of the MESSENGER to
examine carefully the sample ballot pub
lished. noting that 1t is only necessary
to place your cross mark in the square
to the right of PARKER AND DAVIS.
and in the square TO the right of THOS.
ALEXANDER SMITH. Both of these
squares are at the top of the ballot and
any man can be taught to vote the ticket
in one minute. Make yourself commit
tee of one to teach every body you can.
