Discomfort With Its Pet Trust-breed-
ing TarEf Policy Has ~ Much
influence In Alternating Ne
aroes a. Has the Browns
willie AFFAIR.
The Republican party managers
have become seriously alarmed at
the evidences of large numbers Of
Negroes in whom they have been
accustomed to put implicit reliance.
In Baltimore last spring they were
astonished to find a greater part OF
the Colored citizens voting for the
Democratic candidate for Mayor, Mr..
Mahool. A like phenomena Is Just
witnessed in the university city Of
New Haven. In the municipal cleo
ton Of New Haven the Colored vote,
which had been almost solidly Repub-
ican, was cast nearly as sol;dly for
the Democratic ticket
While this remarkable change In
these two cities and elsewhere is
generally attributed to the position
Of President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft in the Brownsville affair, there
are doubtless other and much better
reasons for 1t. The Negroes are
growing tired of their abiect polit-
ical condition as mere voting cattle
Of the Republican party. To many of
them this is as CALLING as the former
condition Of slavery. But the more
intelligent among them have come to
recognize in the Republican party
the patron and ally of the great in
dustrial Trusts that by means Of the
tariff are enabled to levy exorbitant
taxes on the necessaries of living.
They see at the same time in the
dominant stand-pat element of the
PARTY determined purpose to permit
no reform Of this predatory tariff sys-
tenn by which they are mercilessly
plundered, along with all other wage
winners in the country. There is no
reason to seek in the Brownsville
affair for the exclusive cause of the
changed political attitude of the more
intelligent voters when there are far
better motives for 1.-THE Record
