Why o-Americans should support

Ny views laconically expressed are
as follows: There has never been a
time in all our history when the Bal
lot of the colored man so near ap-
proaches the often added expression
"Sacredness''-Sa because Theo-
dore Roosevelt stands for the purity,
protection and free exercise of the
Ballot by all men regardless of class
or nationality and because the Repub-
lican party believes in the political
equality of all men without reference
to race or nationality, and this belief
it has supported by the most costly
and sanguinary war in our history.
The Democratic party believes in re-
stricting the privilege of citizenship to
particular class and has written her
opinions into Statutes. Constitutions
and practices of nearly every Southern
state where the party is dominant.
The colored man ought to vote for
Theodore Roosevelt because he stands
for the equal rights of all men and for
a Republican form of government that
viii vouchsafe those principles to all
of her citizens The recognition Of
these facts at this time by voting the
straight Republican ticket will be an.
Incentive to those who come after
Theodore Roosevelt to recognize more
fully the rights of all American citi-
.zens for the uplifting and purifying
OF American citizenship. so

To the Editor of The Appeal:
! Why Afro-Americans should support
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. =
l.. Because. Theodore Roosevelt, the
nominee of the Republican party for
President has shown himself to be the
friend of the laboring man. Many
years, ago when he was member
of the New York legislature he IN
troduced measures for the relief OF
the toiling classes which became law
Legislative measures which demon
strated his philanthropic spirit no less
than his practical craftsmanship.
/ g.. He has been an uncOmpromlslng
enemy to fraud and corruption IN
both public and private life. pr
g. His experience in public life has
been vast and unusually full Of stirring
events and trying ordeals before which
he has never flinched.z He has served
in the Civil. Military and Naval de-
partments of the Government, demon
strating remarkable efficiency where
ever he has labored.
4. His filing out of the unexpired
term of the lamented Mckinley has
been of great benefit to the Republic,
and may be summed up in the. acqulsl--
ton of an Isthmian Route at Panama;
laws enacted and enforced for the
prevention of illegal mergers; ana
contracts in restraint of trade; IN
creased respect for the United States
abroad as the result Of astute and sa-
gacious diplomacy; and enhancement
of the general prosperity OF all class So
es of citizens; and has expressed him him
self in favor Of a square deal for eV-
cry man in, the country white or q
black.

ROBERT J. NELSON.
President Of Afro-American Repub

President Of Afro-American RepubIi-
can League Of Pennsylvania.
To the Editor of The Appeal:
In response to your request | am
pleased to briefly give few words on
why Afro Americans Should Support
Roosevelt and Fairbanks" No Amer
lean citizen is interested to a greater
extent in the we'll being of this cOun-
try than is the Afro-American. His
patriotism is safe Indication OF his
national pride. When he considers
the marvellous history of the Republic
in the past half century and the con-
spicuous part taken in it's Development
by the Republican party this, if for
no other reason would impel him to
support that matchless leader, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, and his running mate,
Senator Fairbanks. When, however,
in addition to this the Afro-American
considers the indisputable fact that
since the emancipation proclamation
became effective, and civil and polltl-
cal rights were accorded him through
the persistent efforts of the Republi-
can party the trend of his political
support inclines to that party.
The Republican party stands as the
champion of the Afro-American; the
Democratic party stands in an atti-
tude inimical to his interests where
ever the Democratic party is in con-
troll the discharge of the highest duty
of an American citizen-the right to
cast a free and untrammeled ballots
denied him. which is virtually nulll-
fication of the national constitution.
There is but one course for us to pur-
sue in this contest. Support the can
didacy of man who honestly believes
in merit regardless of color; one who,
deaf to the clamor of Negro-haters be-
lieves that his duty is to administer
the laws for all alike.

TO the Editor of The Appeal:
Why Afro-Americans should support
Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
l. The reactionary influence OF pro-
slavery sentiments as evinced by the
establishment of peonage in certain
sections of the Southern States will
only be stemmed by the election or
the Republican candidates.
2 If Parker should be elected, the
same Democratic party which at pres
ent nullifes the fourteenth and nj
teenth amendments to the Constltu-
ton of the United States would seek
to repeal them.
3. The firm and persistent stand
which President Roosevelt has made
during the present administration IN
behalf of the equal civil and political
rights of the Afro American, especial
ly in maintaining that the door OF
hope" must not be closed to the lntelll-
gent, Industrious and competent OF the
race, entitle him to the warmest graft
tude of the oppressed race In the
South and North alike.
a The fact that the fierceSt abuse
and denunciation of President Roose-
welt is heaped upon him because he
invited an Afro-American to lunch
with him in the White House, should
call forth the unanimous effort OF the
Afro-American to retain him in the
presidential chair. The Afro-Amerl-
can has a share in the White House
purchased by the valor of thousands OF
soldiers of the race who lay down
their lives to save the Union, which
the fathers of the traducers of the
President, sought to destroy.
