move OF him" in the interest of the
cause.
President Roosevelt was the first
.CIltef executive OF the nation to
name a colored man as an Assistant
District Attorney for the District of
Columbia. Mr.. James A. Cobb, pro-
nounced by competent authorities to
be one of the most capable lawyers in
the District, was appointed to this
responsible post on the nth of No
vember last, and assigned as a spec
ial assistant to District Attorney Ba-
ker's office. His duties are to sue the
people who go on bonds and forfeit
them to the government, and to pre-
pare the cases for prosecution under
the Pure Food Law. AS this depart
ment has much to do with the preser-
vation of the health of the 100000
citizens of the District, its vast
importance will be seen at a glance.
Under the Pure Food Law, as admin
istered by Mr.. Cobb, there have been
more convictions and successful locn-
hscations of goods than any other ju-
risdiction in this country.
Within the past fortnight, the Uni
ted States District Attorney, Mr.. Ba-
ker, has had the naturalization cases
transferred to Mr.. Cobb's Office and
now Mr.. Cobb has sole charge of that
department. Prominent lawyers have
called the attention Of President
Roosevelt to the magnificent record
Mr.. Cobb is making in his dual capa-
CITY and it is understood that the
lighted" with the choice he has made.
Mr.. Cobb is a young man of unim-
peachable character, of unf1agging in
dustry. and stands high in his profes-
sion. This is the type of colored man
the Republican party is bringing to
the front, and offering opportunities
for honorable distinction. This is the
type of young colored men that the
Democratic party will send to the
rear if the chance is given them by
the election of Mr.. Bryan. The race
can keep men like Mr.. Cobb to the
front by sustaining the policies OF
President Roosevelt, represented in
the candidacy Of Judge Taft.

NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN

BY T, THOMAS FORTUNE.
1t has become very common to dis
tort the utterances of political OPP
ponent to bolster a bad cause. In a
letter to the Hon. Albert S. White, of
Kentucky, Mr.. Taft pronounces to be
"a lie" the statement contained in the
circular issued by Rev. S. L. Corro-
theirs that he, Mr.. Taft, favors the
repeal of the fifteenth amendment. He
says he had reference to sumptuary
laws in the letter upon which Mr..
Corrothers based his statement. When
a preacher has the lie thrown into
his face by so veracious citizen as
Secretary Taft, what should he do?
The New England SuffrageLeague,
of which Mr.. William Monroe Trot-
ter is President, threatens to hold a
convention before this statement finds
an audience, In the call for the con-
vention Mr.. Trotter among other pro-
nouncements says: "Since 1914 our
race has lived to see a solemn platform
pledge of the National Republican
party to reduce southern representa-
ton ignored and repudiated by the
President elected theron" Well, who
secured the insertion in the Republi-
can platform of the demand for the

VERY FEW WILL VEER.
Some little time ago, it was quite
popular assertion that the Afro-Amei-
can should divide his votes among the
political parties and it was argued,
with more or less ability, that he
would be a great gamer by doing so.
Such reasoners were generally Cau-
casian Democrats, but at the present
time a few Afro-Americans have
adopted the same line of argument,
and are trying to persuade Afro
American electors to vote for Mr..
Bryan. This has attracted the atten-
ton of the Athens (Ga) Banner and
that journal frankly and candidly tells
the Afro-American voter what he will
gain by taking such advice, as follows
"The Democracy wants the votes
of all the citizens of the republic who
believe in good government, but it
does not want the votes of the Ne
grOes under any idea that they are to
be treated in any other manner than
the well-established custom in this
country, that of maintaining the su-
premacy of the white man. If there
are Negroes who are veering to Dem
ocracy on the idea that they are to be
pampered and petted and given privi-
leges over the white man they might
as we'll be undeceived. From Mr.
Bryan down, the Democracy stands
for the rule of the white man in this
republic and there is no use in dis
guising that fact The Negro might
as we'll realize it and be done with
it.
There is but little consolation in
the above for the Negroes who are
veering to Democracy and the
Athens Banner may rest assured that
not many of the race will "Veer"
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM
BRYAN.
The Democrats Of West Virginia
met in state convention recently and
adopted resolutions in favor of the
disfranchisement and Jim growing of
the Afro-American And. forthwith,
Mr.. Bryan telegraphed his approval
of the action of the convention. This
was done at just about the same time
that some Afro-Americans of no little
prominence were trying to make over
lures to Mr.. Bryan with a view to
delivering to him a fraction of the
AlIO-LAIlICilOdll fOlC, dllN ID q lAiCSN
convincing showing of what the race
may expect from Mr.. Bryan, should
he be elected.
Mr.. Bryan we'll knows that thou
sands of Democrats in the South have
10 appetite for him, however prepar-
ed their digestion-baked, fried, on
half-shell, or scrambled. They have
merely been whipped into the traces,
sorely against the stomach of their
sense. So, he must use every effort
to conciliate these recalcitrant ele-
ments-humble himself into the dust
to keep them in good humor and pre-
vent a revolt. So he dares not go as
far as Mr.. Watterson has publicly
done
Bryan, so far as the Afro-American
is concerned is very little better than
Vardaman.

TENNIS IS BOOMING
NEW COURT BUfLDING FOR CoUN-
 TRY CLUB.
Revival of Sport Cnused Crowded Con- difien of Three Courts Ana It Was Decided to Add Fourth
 Pretty Grounds.

It was announced yesterday by Manager Ingles. of the Country Club. that a new tennis courtis to be added to the string of courts already at the club. Ground for the building of the court win be broken next Monday or Tuesday.
 This move on the part of the club is an indicator -of che pronounced re- vival of tennis inpMontgomery. It may be said that the men and lady menl- bers have been fairly eating the game up" this year. The three courts that have been in existence for two or three years did not suffice to accomo- date the players last summer and with the growing popularity of the sport crowded the coming year.
 It Is the intention of the tennis play CTS next year to develop the best material in the club to their highest points. Next spring and summer the superior players have promised to ex- tend themselves as they have never done before and 1t Is possible that a couple of double teams win be sent to participate in the South Atlantic states tournament. &
 The courts at the club have been busy no little during all the winter. So long as dry weather obtains in the remainder of the winter the game will be played by the more ardent of en- thusiasts. The game of golf there are several members who are working on this game as if the summer had neyer gone. Some interesting matches are to be played the coming spring.
 Under the direction of Manager Ingles the improvement Of the beauty of the grounds is well under way. The work is being done in accordance with the plans of Mir 0lmstead, the eminent expert who was in Mont gomery last fall on a business trip. He then designed the laying off of the grounds and when his plans are fully carried out including the planting Of many flower plots, the prospect of the club will rival any in the South. All ready there is an enviable vista be- fore, the club house forming the roomy golf links.
