ISSUES AND RESULT.


clans for 20 years and it is ac-
copied as pretty nearly fact.
That New York is going Demo-
cratic this year, the knowing
ones all believe, and there is no
Roosevelt money to bet against
it at odds. In the past few days
Democratic chances have taken
a mighty leap upward, owing
in part, to the appearance of
Judge Parker at Madison Square
Garden, New York, and his
manly and forcible utterances
at that meeting. This week he
has made speeches in the doubt
full states of New Jersey and
Connecticut. If he did not have
strong hopes of carrying these
states Judge Parker would not
have gone into them. He is a
shrewd man and knows more
than the A B C's of politics. He
is in this contest to win, and
there are thousands of the best
politicians in the country who
believe he will win.
Maryland is sure to go Dem
ocratic, but the Republicans are
making desperate efforts to
elect their candidates for Con
gress Especially is this true
in this, the First Congressional
District, where the Jackson Re-
publicans are soliciting person
al votes for the Congressman
without a care as to what be-
comes of the head..of the ticket,
or what effect it will have upon
the aspirants for the Post Off
ces, etc. Mr.. Jackson's record
is a very selfish one. He is for
himself, and he does not care
what becomes of the rest of the
ticket so he gets through.
No man can claim to be a
Democrat and vote for William
H. Jackson, as MS party record
is such as to cause all well
thinking people to turn from
him. He has proclaimed this
year that ne stands for all the
Republican party stadds for,
and every intelligent man
knows that the Republican
national convention of a few
weeks ago boldly brought for
ward the race issue and took
sides with the negro. y gave
illustration of the conditions
that it thought should exist
when it placed upon exhibition
at that convention a white girl
and a negro boy standing hand
in hand, showing plainly that
they thought the negro just as
good as the white girl and fit to
be hei companion. Now this is
no campaign lie, but the very
truth, reported by the daily
papers as part of the proceed
ings of the Republican national
convention. Why was this
done Because the Republican
party was represented large
ly from the Southern states by
negroes, and it had no hopes
of regaining the confidence and
support of the white people OF
the South because of the acts OF
Roosevelt, therefore it was nee.
essary to make a bold bid fol
negro support, regardless of the
effect it would have upon the
people of the Southern and mid.
die states. The.Democrats have
not raised the issue, the Repub.
licans did it, and they did it i'm
such a manner that every white
man who thinks anything of his
race should resent it.
William HI. Jackson stands
for what this convention did
and his representative in the
convention voted for everything
that was done. A Baltimore
negro placed Mr.. Roosevelt in
nomination and his fervid ut
terances in behalf of the stand
his party should take for the
negro were heartily applauded.
If you would place around
your home double protection
and take:no risks for the future,
then vote for Parker and Davis
and Thomas Alexander Smith.
Don't allow yourself to be pur-
suaded into casting your vote
for William HI Jackson. He is
in no way fit to represent this
district in Congress, and should
be defeated.
