The Colorado branch of the Ma
tional Negro American Political
League has issued a call for a state
conference to be held at the Scott
NJ. E. church in Denver on August
25 and 26 to consider plans for or
ganizing members of the colored
race against William II. Taft and al
so to endeavor to secure the passage
of legislation opposed to the jlmcrow
cars and disfranchisement in the
south
The call issued by the league is as
follows:
"In view of the fact that in every
conflict at arms in the history of this
country from 1776 TO the Spanish
American war, the negro has freely
given his life and limb in defense
of his country, is it possible that in
this perilous crisis he will fail in
manly courage when the opportunity
is at hand to win citizenship and as
sert his manhood in a bloojless bat
tie Of the ballots? Jimcrowism has
become prevalent not only in the
south, but in the west, almost solely
on the account of our blind party
Tealty and unintelligent and unwise
political activity. Our republican
president has ruthlessly and wanton-
ly discharged witho trial and in
disgrace three comTlnies of the ma
tion's bravest offenders; he has
branded them as outlaws and muir
derers, he has recognized the eff
cheney of the pernicious and distaste-
ful jmcrow car. and by means CT Of
.'ficeholders has foisted on the people
his candidate and platform indors-
ing segregation and committed acts
which give this, the greatest republic
on earth, the form of a monarchy.
His nominee has condoned jim
crowism alc disfranchisement.
I'VE can kill two birds with one
stone, rebu<e a false friend and pla-
cate those whom we have unreason-
ably and bitterly opposed. 1t is much
easier to placate an open opponent
than false friend.
"Evsry negro who is not blind to
his own interest and the interest of
his race, who is not bushwhacking
around and traiiiclting in the misfor-
tunes OF the race and who is not
showing willingness to become a
puppet of grating politicians for
paltry positions, should join us in our
patriotic effort.
Therefore, we, the officers and
members of the state branch of the
National Negro American Political
League, issue call for state con-
ference on August 25 and 26 at the
Scott NJ. Il. church, Denver, Colo, to
consider the following:
''To organize to defeat William II.
Taft and demand the restoration of
the colored soldiers and discuss the
means and manner of making our
campaign.
ITO send greetings to our brothers
i'm the east and south, and also to
appeal to the south for the repeal
laws. or annulment of the dis
franchisement and jimcrow laws.
'No person Is or has besn author
lied to use our name in any connec-
ton whatever with any other organ
ization and If the same was done 1t
was done fer the purpose of deceiv-
ing the public.

DEMOCRATS
DEMANDING
PROHIBITION

Bangor, Me-, July l5-With y emit
and dried program, providing for the
nomination of Obadiah Gardner of
Rock land, for governor. upon n plat
form demanding and resubmission of
the prohibition value of the cons titu-
ton to popular vote, the Democrats
of Maine began their state convention
in city hall at 80 this afternoon.
The Republican recently nominated
Bert II. Fernald, of Poland, for gov
ernor, on platform opposing result
mission. Fernald holds that it will
be anwise to imperil prohibition,
which has been on the statute books
for more than half century. by re-
submitting it to decision of the
voters.
! The campaign will be fought out
on this clear-cut issue and the Demo-
cratic leaders in attendance at today's
convention declare that it will mean
a Democratic victory. They allege
that public sentiment favors resub-
mission and point out that the Repub-
lican majorities have been cut down
from As. 900 to 5000 in the last few
years by the liquor agitation.
| The Republican platform declares
emphatically for the continuance Of
prohibition. The Democratic plat
form will assert that under repub-
lican form of government the
majority should decide the question.
while no positive stand will be
taken either for OF against prohi-
Dition.
Democratic politicians declare that
the prohibition law has become a
farce and source of graft and cor :
ruption and that, il the people decide
to retain it. the statute should be
strictly enforced.
Some of the most noted temperance
orators of the country will come to
the assistance of the Maine Republic
cans during the campaign. Maine
was the first state in the Union to
adopt a prohibition law and the tenn
perance leaders realize that If it
lshould be repealed after the long trial
it has been given, the effect would be
disastrous to the prohibition move
ment throughout the United States.
Democrats declare that their state
ticket will have the support of thou
sands Of Republican voters, who are
discontinued with the present pro-
hibition regime and will aid in elect
ing Democratic governor and legis-
lature in order to get chance to OK.
press their opinion of prohibition at
the polls. There is little doubt that
the coming campaign will be one OF
the hottest in the history Of the state
and tliat tho Republicans have the
strongest fight in years on their
