the question and abide by the vote

STATEMENT IN REGARD TO
BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR WINS
CANDIDATE FRIENDS.

Des Moines, Aug. 10.-The state
ments Of President Roosevelt and Gen
eral G. Corbin in regard to the Brown
vile affair and the presidents as
sumption of all responsibility for the
incident has created kindlier feel
ing among the negroes of Iowa for
William H. Taft, according to promi-
nent members of the race, who are
speaking on the question.
In fact, Rev. D. A. Holmes of Dav-
export, state superintendent of the
Colored Baptist Sunday schools and
auditor of the Western Baptist as
ISOLATION, and who has done much for
the improvement Of the social condi-
tons of his race in the west, denies
that there has been the satisfaction
among his people, which it has been
claimed there Is.
"At meeting of the Western
Baptist association at st. LOUIS says
Rev. Holmes, cat which Is states
were represented, including Ohio and
Indiana where there Is said to be
such a Democratic sentiment among
the negroes, prominent men from
those states assured us that such talk
was nonsense, and that, Of the $4,000
negroes in those states, not more than
1000 would vote the Democratic ticket
and these are men who have been
aligned with the Democrats for years
What is true of Ohio, is true through
out the north and west.
cat the state Baptist convention al
Mt. Pleasant, over which I presided,
made 1t my business to find out the
sentiments of the Iowa negroes in
reference to the ticket. The general
opinion entertained, was that II there
are any wrongs within the party, they
can best be righted by staying in the
party. Further no one could conceive
of any relief by voting for Bryan. He
was nominated by and is in sym.
pathy with the states where Demo
cracy is supreme. In those state tina
are SO solidly for Bryan, negro can
not even get his vote counted-the ne
