TAFT,S SPEECH.

If the Secretary of War, Will
lam TAFT, thinks that he will Sc
cure the Endorsement OF ten mill
ions OF colored Americans he IS
mistaken. In the first place, it will
be just as impossible for him to
secure the Republican nomination
as it will for Ben Tillman to sup
port an amendment to the South
Carolina election law restoring the
election franchise TO the loyal black
men.
President Roosevelt and his War
Secretary might as we'll retire from
politics. The eyes OF the colored
Americans are opened. They are
no longer the fiddle dancers to mu-
sic that has been the influencing
feature in every political cam
paign.

SENATOR FORAKER.

The recent speeches of Senator
Foraker in reply to the Presidents
Man Friday" William Taft,were
unanswerable. When Senator For
aker asked the War Secretary,
What will you do with the ten
millions Of blacks who have never
6reatllt = t;Sioyal breath 1t
stunned him to such an extent that
he has not recovered from the blow
yet.
Mr.. Taft must either believe that
all the colored people are insane, OF
that he is losing his mind.
For the Republican party to Sc
cure the colored vote one OF the
following men must be nominated !;
Foraker, the nations choice; Fair
banks Knox, Atkinson of West
Virginia, or HuShes OF new oIK'
Under no circumstances will the
colorcd voters support the policies
of the present Administration or
support any man named by it.
The colored vote is a unit against
the present Administration, Many
of the appointments by the Ad-
minihtration areinimical to the col
ored man. No colored American
with grain of sense and spark OF
gratitude would dare to vote against
Senator Foraker.
That the Northern colored vote
will be a factor in the next cam
