prosperity and future prospects in
tensifying this belief, hereby affirm
our allegiance thereto.
We endorse the administration OF
President Roosevelt and his vigorous
policy, foreign and domestic, and view
with admiration that he has served
the Republican party best by having
worked for the highest good of each
individual under the protection of
our flag.
We condemn the proposed Poe
Amendment as thoroughly un-Ameri-
can, un-Democratic and as a thrust
at the free American manhood, both
white and black, of the great Com
monwealth of Maryland.
We endorse the administration of
our public officials who have served
us during the past.
