Doctor Edward S. Miller, who by
his upright and honorable conduct IN
all the affairs of life. has made a last
ing name for himself in Chicago and
throughout the country, was born

POLITICAL FACTOR.

There is much talk regarding the
next Presidential nominee of the Re
publican party. What will come of il
the wisest among us cannot say. 81
far as the Afro-American is concern
ed, however, it little matters who the
nominee may be, it is safe to say he
regulars the G. o. P, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it has been the Re
publican leaders who have sought and
have succeeded well in putting the
Afro-American voters on the ragged
edge of American politics, through
and by permitting disfranchisement in
every Southern State in the Union
The Afro-American is no longer a po-
litical factor only in the remotest as
pect. For more than a generation
past he has not had a single repre-
sentative in the National nails of COu-
gress TO espouse or champion his
cause along any line. His has been a
steady but certain passing out of
power and influence into the sea Of 2
forgetfulness in political sense.
There is now a great need for the
Afro-American people throughout the
country to begin to organize along
political lines for the future. The al
vocates that the Afro-American stay
out of politics are wrong The ballot
today is the only and his strongest
weapon of defense; without it sooner
of later the Afro-American in this
country will De in a hopeless condi-
ton.
Let us have less big talk and more
real work along this line and try TO
regain some of our former political
power ana prestige in American poll
