vidual soldier his mere oath that he

Colored Voters Aroused
There is many a senator who would
be very glad not TO have 10 make choice
between these two propositions. II IL
recognized that the negroes all over
the country are much wrought up over
the affair, and believe that a great in
justice was done to the colored troops.
They are being urged from the pulpit
and otherwise to register their disap-
pR~al at the ballot box and already
the Taft boom has been affected by
the fact that they hold the Secretary
of War, next TO the President, respon-
sible for the discharge.
In number Of Northern states, es-
pecially Ohio. West Virginia, Indiana
and Illinois, the negro vote Is a consid-
erable factor. and for political reasons
senators will hesitate TO antagonize it.
Under these circumstances, II would
not be surprising II the Foraker sub
stitute should be adopted, and the way
made clear for their return 10 the SER
vice Of all the discharged men.
