You have successfully demonstrated

exist. What the country wants TO
know is what Mr.. Taft would do a.
bout IL IL he were President.
The country knows what the Pres
ident promised I'm his loud preach
ments about a square deal" and
everybody knows his historic "fail-
ure in the performance" SO far as the
colored race is concerned
Remember Brownsville will go in
20 history along with Remember the
Maine and Mr.. Taft is indelibly
tarred with the Brownsville big stick
