ALL UNITE.

1t is hoped that there viii be
but one inaugural welcome club
next year. DR.. Bruce Evans has
taken the first step to bring the
citizens together to make ar
rangements to entertain the
strangers who may come to the
city to attend the Inauguration of
Judge Taft.
Heretofore, when one class of
citizens called a meeting, another
class would call one in opposi-
ton. There has never been any
unity among the colored citizens
so far as these social functions
are concerned. The Bee will not
be surprised to see another COM
mittee spring up, calling itself
the F. F. VS., When you once
scrutinize the F. F. V, concern,
it will be a set of outcasts, who
have no standing at their own
home, but come to the city to
ruin the Washington social.
There is no objection to other
social functions, but The Bee, as
we'll as the people, will not be
led by a defunct set OF rene
gades, calling themselves the
social elite, or F. F. VS. Of
Washington.
DR.. Evans should be supported
in this movement to entertain
the strangers who may come to
city Let there be one great in
augural ball open to all respect
able citizens. The Bee doesn't
want to see any lilly white" busi-
ness spring up either, because if
their is. the pedigree of every
member will be given. There has
been too much of this kind among
the colored people in this city.
1t might as we'll be understood
that a division will prove disas-
trous to the whole concern.
Let all unite!

RECORDER DANCEY IN THE
CAMPAIGN

There is no man in the country
more pleased over the result of the
election than Recorder John c. Dan
cy. He has been fighting so long
and vigorously for Mr.. Taft, that he
teels absolutely vindicated in the
great avalanche of votes which
swept the country. He always in
sisted that it would be a walk" and
the results of the election fully justi-
fed his prediction.
He took delight in defending the
Republican party and its candidates
anywhere they were assailed, and he
generally routed the opposition with
clean, unanswerable arguments.
During the campaign ne covered
1900 miles first and last, spoke IN
the states of Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware,
Pennsylvania and Indiana, and was
steadily on the stump for FIVE weeks.
All the daily papers spoke in a uni
formly commendatory way of his
speeches, everywhere.
He says that in four days he COW
cred 1900 miles and made four
speeches in the closing days of the
campaign, winding up in Indiana.
He was never hoarse and never miss
ed an appointment. He is tickled
over the general result.

The Negro race is not without

his salvation is in the party that

clivities dared not to appoint a

Mr.. Bryan in one breath was
reported with having made an
assertion in the interest of the
Negro and repudiated it in the
next breath. There was evidence
enough for sensible Negroes to
know that their salvation was in
the old love, the G. O. P.
The Negro is no fool!
