He lost the nomination for two rea-

convention could not get it out of their

even a vigorous denial on the part of

of the more skeptical. But the tide
turned against the aspiring author in
dead earnest when one of the delegates
cried out: Gentlemen, this man
Nicholson is a plutocrat; he is rolling
in money. Why, gentlemen, he lives
in a house with thousand windows!"
That settled it. Mr.. Nicholson lost and

Much stress is placed upon the
statement that in 1919 or 1920 a
vessel bearing a Dutch Flag enter
ed James River carrying twenty
negroes which were readily sold to
the Colonists. Historians differ
concerning the dates but this is
not vital and we grant that this
may have occurred on the earlier
date. 1t is well to remember in
connection with the above that
an English freebooter by the name
of Hawkins in 1862 first began a
traffic in human slavery. There
were three Hawkinses represent
ing as many generations engaged
in the slave traffic prior to the
above date. 1t may be said of these
three that the first sold his tens.
the second his hundreds. and the
third his thousands before the
Dutch sold score to the English
in America.
The question, naturally arises.
how did the Dutch know that there
was a market for negro slaves in
the English coloney in Virginia.
In the year 1GOS a colony of
Puritans settled in Holland. In
description of these we quote from
Chauncey Depew:
"'Four hundred of Puritans went
to Holland. every man with creed
of his own and anxious to burn
at the stake the other three hun
dred and ninety nine because they
did not agree with him. but be-
ing there enlightened. they discov-
cred the magnifcence of the uni
verse. All over Holland, they saw
school education, sus-
tanned by the state. They found
a country in which there was uni
versal liberation of religion: in
which the prosecuted Jew could
find an asylum: in which even the
could be safe from the
of his enemies. and
there. after they had been pre-
pared to found a state. and to
build 1t, when they got down to
to depart. the Dutch
men. in their hospitality, gave
them farewell dinner. AS send
of. 1t was the first good dinner
the Puritan had ever had-the
first square meal the Puritan had
ever eaten.n
The Puritan in Holland enjoyed
every liberty possible but lacking
