characterizes the report that an attempt
to organize a Taft and Sherman Repub-
lican Club at Brentwood. Md. last Wed
nesday evening was broken up by the
Bryan sentiment among the negroes pres

Taft and Sherman club. pursuant to a
call which had been sent out When
they arrived. they found a good attend
ance. including white people and ladies.

DR.. Mcintosh closed the speechmaking
occupying the time from 10 until II

left the hall during that time; there
wasn't anything like opposition or inter
ference with the purpose of the meeting
INDUCED in by any one, and before the
meeting was adjourned a strong resolu-
ton indorsing Taft and Sherman was
adopted without dissenting voice.

by negro Bryan supporters is lie out of
whole cloth, without the slightest sus-
picion of foundation"
1t is stated the original report was
circulated by persons antagonistic to the
republican cause.
