JOY IN MAHOOL CAMP
CANDIDATE WARNS ASSOCIATION
OF ovERcoNFIDENcE.

BALTIMORE, April 4-Handshaking,
congratulations and general jollification
We're the order of the meeting last night
at 226 CORTLAND street of the committee
of the ]. Barry Mahool Association, which
had in charge the fight of the successful
candidate in the democratic primaries.
The twenty earnest Mahool workers gath
cred at the headquarters of the Numsen
Democratic Association, which were turned
over to them for meeting place. The en-
try of Mr.. Mahool was the signal for
cheer
Not Mr.. Mahool' nor the conventional
MIR. Mayor" the temporary title with
which a time honored custom has invested
every candidate for mayoralty honors, but
just plain Barry, old boy" was the appel
lation of the choice Of the voters of the
democratic primaries. The familiar Barry
was in everybody's mouth, and the candi-
date never showed himself more purely
democratic than when he settled himself
comfortably in his chair, crossed his knees
and said:
We'll, boys, I'm in your hands,.
A round of applause ensued and then
Mr. Nathaniel d. Sellers. the president OF
the association, made a brief speech In
which he eulogized the candidate and en-
couraged the workers to busy themselves
in earnest at the general election.
Mr.. Mahool replied fittingly, thanking
the members of the association for what he
termed the ''yeoman service" done him and
his cause. He paid high tribute to the
efficiency of the organization that had done
him the honor to take his name, and said
that he hoped by his good record as mayor
of Baltimore, if elected to that office, to be
able to repay them for their interest and
their zeal.
His remarks We're enthusiastically re-
ceived, and while he was speaking there
was by-play of enthusiastic and laudatory
comment from those assembled. 1t re-
manned for Mr.. Mahool to strike the one
serious note of the meeting.
Let us not be too confident, he said,
but realize that to the very day of the cleo
ton We must bend every energy to bring
out the full vote for democratic success.
Over-confidence has proven the bane OF
many cause, and although the indications
today point clearly and Enthusiastically to our
success on May 8, nevertheless ii behooves
us for the sake of our party and our princi-
pies TO be dihgent to the end and to leave
no stone unturned in order that this cleo
ton may be one of the most signal in the
history of the party in Maryland"

COLONY FOR NEGROES.
Florida's Governor Wants Congress to
Found Settlement.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April 4-In the
biennial message which Gov. Broward sent
to the Florida legislature upon its conyen-
ing here he refers to the race problem az
follows:
1T Is apparent to even the casual OBJ
server that the relations. between the two
races is becoming more strained and acute.
The negroes today have less friendship for
the white people than they have ever had
since the civil war, and the white people
have less tolerance and sympathy for the
negro. 1t is my opinion that the two races
will not for any great length of time &C.
cupy the same territory without friction
and outbreaks of disorder.
Il doubt if education can possibly tend
to the happiness of any race SO long as It
only aids In a keener dtscernment OF the
hopeless difference between the past AMI flI-
ture history of that race and a domino nj
race in the same country and In the same
neighborhood
Il deem it best and. therefore, recon-
mend a resolution memor:alizing the Con-
gress of the United States to purchase ter
ritory, either domestic or foreign, and PRO-
vide meanssoo purchase the property Of
the negroes at reasonable prices, and to
transport the negroes to the territory pur-
chased by the United States, the United
States to organize government for them

foreign invasion and to prevent negroes
from migrating back to the United States
Il believe this to be the only hope of a
solution of the race problem between the
white and black races, as 1 can see no
ultimate good results that can accrue from
the education of a race without planting
in their being the hope of attaining the
highest position in government affairs and
society. In fact, 1 can see no reason to
expect that any man can be made happy
by whetting his intelligence to that point
where he can better contemplate or realize
the hopeless gulf that must ever separate
him and his race from the best things that
the dominant race, who employ him as
servant, have in store for themselves.
believe that we should consider the fact
that the negroes are the wards of the
white people and that it is our duty to
make whatever provision for them that
would be best for their well-being.
