w l..
Secretary TAFT has assumed n boot
licking policy toward the negro which
Is nothing more or less than disgust.

OF hls speeches the past two or three
I weeks the secretary of war has dc.

black men have been almost withou;
limit. On Monday night lie addressed

held in the interests OF The Hampton

ed, by the way, by q very few negroes,
and during the course ct his speech
his extreme praise OF the negro WAS

His hearers were told that the black

While there arc no intelligent Dem.

much apprehension among the Repub-

fear is that in the dehatable states
