gs,rhr-ran Committee can you expect
..7 tine next contest with the pres
~. .r-,rrbent i'm the White House?
f., b.. sends many more messages TO
-,rg--.. the people will have to take
5.r oH 10 read them. Why, he defies
r,~o-a.. and declares that he cannot
ts ;--oeached [ have often heard of
..oore having the big head who held
mil offices. but / have never known
President of the United States to
-,-amot 10 defy his people. The coun-
+, i. with Senator Foraker, and it
.-.n E- a fight royal The action of the
Fverrtlye is nothing more than per
.errfion of innocent men who have
f7tbfuIrv served this country. If the
Chief Executive had sufficient evidence
IN I'M, possession 10 dismiss these col
rr-d troops. why did he send another
man IN Brownsville for additional evi-
5qncrs The country Is satisfied that
,re President has committed a blunder,
and like OtheIld. his occupation IS
gone The once great Theodore Roose-
yeIt like Napoleon has met his Water
roo I have never been deceived in
him and Won know It. When the en-
r,-. Negro race called him the Lord 5
.-.irfaf said then. as 1 say now, that
be never was and never will be a friend
Of the oppressedi colored American.
If WON remember, in the contest OF 1904
declared that the American people
lro.rd regret his nomination and cleo
r.r Senator Foraker is making a
rah'. fight for justice and humanity
His name will 90 down in history as
rbe nobIe,t Roman Of tnem all, and II
fhe American people want a safe man
I'm The White House let them nominate
hi, narriotic son of Ohio. Your Chief
Executive calls these brave black sol
drr, traitors TO the republic and a
menace to the government am not
surprised. I am not surprised If he
t.t declare the United States Su-
preme Court uncon4utuGonal. There
nav be some sycophants IN Congress
who are depending upon the admins
tration for succor. And there are men
who viii stand pat and uphold the prin-
cp.g- of equity and fairplay although
ths heavens may fall 1t will be re
msrhered that the President wrote d
magazine article against the Negro, and
gsv soon thereafter he repudiated it.
He va, a candidate for Office then
Again the colored man allowed himself
70 be- persuaded to vote for him, not
outstanding hi, abusive articles against
ia. ,olorcd soldiers. But, this time,
there Will be no retreat no backing
down and no forgiveness. Mr.. Cortcl-
rau. nothing that Senator Ben. llllman
ha. said and nothing that the Demo
cratic party has done the colored race
Pa, caused as much harm as Theodore
Roosevelt His recent acts are un-
prgceleu.d IN the history OF this repub-
Dc. Why should the acts of few men,
# trcy were committed at all, operate
AGAINST the innocent? Why should a
criminal bIuuder of a Cabinet officer
operate against them all. The man
whom YOU elected declares that he
would veto any act OF restoration OF
Oh c0lorcd troops by Congress, and II
r passes over his veto he will test the
,-u.umuouahty of it in the United
States Supreme Court No better time
rrd present itself to the power OF
Congress and that of the President,
This 'ar.tion sounds like rebellion.
Tn. lacf Executive may believe that
De car crush these brave. Colored sol
ls-s who have served the country so
rn.u'lv. but the time viii come when
Oh. name of Theodore Roosevelt VIII
d.. .. more. The existence of the Re-
publican party has been due to the
E support the colored voters have
r it, They tue been faithful
and .raI. and as am evidence OF their
g-rude they have taken every ndlg-
. and continued their adherence TO
n. principles of the party, although its
a-- hfr, been irimical TO them. The
Tess. have not been as loyal to the
a-g as the Negro, and vet the Jew
las been taken into the Cabinet OF your
Ct..T ] have nothing against the
jews believe they have been a per
,-aed people as much as the coiored
American. but the former, by organlza-
.rn and wealth, demands more con
s5eratiou The colored American, Nh
ror,alyou, will continue his loyalty to
he party. but as to your President he
wants nothing to do with him. WISH
ing you happy and prosperous New
Year. believe me to be,
Sincerely yours,
