GOES AFTER BOOKER
SAYS NEGRO LEADER IS A
 CHAPTER.
Dr. COrrothers, q Prominent Negro Preacher, Scores TOddy and Taft Also, and Lauds William
 Jennings Bryan.

Washington. Aug. 25.-(Special.)- Dr. Corrothers. the fiery pastor of the negro Zion Methodist Church here. is just back from attending the big meet ing of the African House of Bishops. at Boston, and has got his war paint on. He goes for President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft again in red-hot fashion and declares that Booker is a ''grafter."
 Corrothers says he prefers Bryan as a Presidential candidate over Roose- welt or Taft.
 T find that from Maine to Califor- mia and from the Lakes to the Gulf" he asserts that the negro men of this country are determined to resent the Presidents treatment of the negro soldiers and his insituation in his mes sage to Congress, relating to negro crlminality.
 Booker T. Washington and his school are losing every day. and the movement for political independence on the part of the negro has become universal If MT. Taft Is depending upon Booker T. Washington to keep the negro vote of this country in line for him, he will be sadly disappointed. All of the negroes in Cookers State. Alabama, have been disfranchised. and the negroes in the North. East and West regard 1t as damnable insult that Washington should attempt to tn- terfere with their political rights.
 william J. Bryan Is thought more of among the negroes of this country than MT. Taft, and if the two men are nominated by the Republican and Democratic party. at least 500.00o ne- Rroes will vote against Taft. The time has come for the negroes of this country to break away from blindly following the Republican party, and strike for liberty"
