In some of them the negro contin-
gent has been so discouraged that
they have practically ceased 10 pnrti-

of these states tho friends of Forak

OF Hughes will see to- 1t that con

grounds and some money to enable
them to appear before the Republican
national committee

A few telcgraphic reports from the
South. In the light OF the Florida Con-
vention, will serve to illuminate. For
instance. the Louisiana delegation,

his BLACK ana tan" faction have al
ready called their state convention
