The democratic leaders are endeavor-
ing to disentangle the snarls within their
party lines in the First Congressional
District, aud also straighten out the kinks
in the Second and Fifth districts.
Efforts are being made to arrange date
for reconvening the First District Con
vention, which met August 10 at Ocean
City and nominated former Governor 3.
E. Jackson, who declined. The conven.
ton adjourned subject to the call o.
Henry R. Lewis, the chairman, who is at
present in St. Louis. Mr.. Jackson de-
clined the nomination on account of the
lack of harmony within the party lines,
stating he might have accepted If he had
fell. that it waslihe spontaneous action Of
all the democrats in the district-not the
politicians alore-and would insure alb
solute harmony.

The republican leaders are after the
negro vote for Roosevelt, hot foot. The
campaign book devotes considerable

Citizen, !" while an additional text book
has been issued in which are the portraits
of several negro office holders. Special
mention is also made of the number OF
negroes who have been given jobs under
the Roosevelt Administration. 1t Is
figured there are 1868 negro republican
Office holders in the District of Columbia
aud e47 negro republicans in the govern
ment employ at other points, which fact
is set forth in the following sugar coated
manner for campaign purposes:
"The fact that nearly 5000 colored cit
liens are in the public service and receiv.
ing salaries aggregating about IS. 100000
furnishes further, evidence of the broad
and liberal policy of the republican party.
while the further fact that the colored
employees are proyerbially faithful. cour-
teous and efficient is ample justification
of the attitude of the party toward the
freedmen Of the nation"
