Negroes May in Large Numbers
Desert the Republican Party in
1908 and Before.

We are not aiming to create a
sensation, but we can see through
the future a little and sometimes
interpret the handwriting on the
wall.
The Negroes feel that the Re
publican party has been very
derelect in the past year or SO
and have not done things which
they promised, and have allowed
things to be done, which upon
prlma facie observation, is con-
trary TO the statutes and contrary
to the constitution of the United
States. They hold that, if Till.
man, Carmack, McEnry. Varda
man or any one else, violates the
constitution and the Republicans
acquiesce in the same. they too,
are ccnspirers against equal
rights and justice.
The whole session of Congress
has been spent in rate regulation
ana acrimonious Oolllloqulses be
TWEEN men Of high office. Com
mercial rights have over-riden
human rights and the very
throne of the nation has dared
to call halt. The reductirn of
southern representation was pro
missed, but they evaded the issue;
j. b. Foraker introduced a very
common-sense bill in the senate,
homologous with the we'll reno
waited rate bill-a bill simply ask
ing lat Negroes who pay first
class fares, be given first class &C
commodation, the republicans de-
feated this bill. Explanation t.
the victims is now III order.

Mitchell Draws Color Line.

Mr. Mitchell, the erstwhile
presumed clever druggist at 5th
and Monroe streets, so we are
authoratively informed. has
stopped beneath the dignity of
the once popular firm of Clark
! son & Mitchell, and charges the
colored people double price for
soft drinks. We d 1t now the
cause for his actions. We do not
believe our people have acted
d!sreputable at his place. We
shall not say but this: Go to
other places for your medicines,
for your car waiting, for sodas
and when you go to those places
act like people, and quit SO much
noise. The entire barrel of APP
piles is ruined by your being rot
ten. If the white people lose
trade by your conduct, they are
forced to harm us all, or at least
they do. We do not say Mr..
Mitchell has been forced for we do
not know. But. there is Mr.
Dodds, Mr.. Clarkson, one of the
finest men of the city, has just
opened on Sixth street. Baumann
Bros, at 9TH and Washington, no
finer men nor more courteous
can be found in the state, and
Stuarts on N 5th street, to these
we recommend you, without res
e walton, that is, we mean decent
people. If Mitchell or anyone
else is offended at the actions of
some Negro thugs, we do not
bla me him or them, but we don't
want to e or; ned with the q lhal-
lowe brood of the slums of our
race, who ought to be barred for
their bad conduct, per Sc, ib SO

to and do take prostitute women
to our swell entertainments and
ignore the ladies and respectable
people The Be also spoke a
pertinent truth when it says the
Negro does not like to discrimi-
nate in society, church. etc. We
hope this will be warning.
very Negro thug aims to bob
up at the finest Negro social or
church gathering, and, we must
admit right here, though. that
the better class of Negroes are to
be blamed for allowing them to.
Negroes are too afraid of hurting
feelings. Our constant cry to our
p ,ople for several decades yet. is
lear manners, common sense and
be decent.

The Bee VS.. The Hornet.

The Frederick, Marylany
Hornet attacks the Washington,
D. c., Bee for being too vltuper-
alive to the Negro race. And in
reply the BE voices our senti-
ments in saying that spade
should be called a spade. etc,
yet we are opposed to filing the
space with the sins of the race.
The sinner or wrong doer should
be admonished, told of the dis
ease of which he is afflicted and
prescribe the probable cure. The
Be is correct too, when it AYERS

John Nelson, Congressman.

Below are published several clip
pings from newspapers published in
this congressional district, showing
the estimation in which Hon. John
M. Nelson, the republican congress
sional nominee, is held by those who
are acquainted with him and the prin-
ciples for which he stands:
Republican should turn out strong
and come down heavy if they believe
in Roosevelt and his policies. a big
republican vote he will construe as
an Endorsement of his work and be
encouraged to press it forward the
stronger while a light vote will be
regarded as an expression Of dissatis-
faction or lack of confidence. The
president IS especially DESTROYS that
the republicans retain control of the
houe OF Representatives that this strong
legislative arm may be an aid and not
hindrance to him. This should
point the duty Of republicans in this
district. They should not be overcon-
fident Or permit differences or indlffer-
ence SO jeopardize the seat. Mr..
Nelson is entitled to their endorse
ment and confidence not only by reason
of education, native ability and IN
innate acquaintance with the people
and needs of the district, but because
he is in sympathy with the views and
policies of the president and will
vote and work to sustain him.-Mad-
lson State Journal:
Stand by your republican nominee.
Republicans owe it to the party at
large and they owe it to themselves
this very district in the great state of
Wisconsin shall be represented by men
who are in sympathy with the republi
can system of protection, with ade-
quate revision of schedules and with
republican policies generally, and who
will stand by the republican, Roosevelt
and his administration.
We believe that the republicans of
Wisconsin will work diligently and
faithfully to accomplish the election
of a solid republican congressional
delegation. milwaukee, Sentinel:
Mr.. Nelson is one of the cleanest
and most brilliant candidates before
the people of Wisconsin today and
should have the united support of
every voter in the second district,
not only for his cleverness, but for
his sincerity of purpose, his sympathy,
his untarnished honor his eageraess
to better the conditions of the people
