an address which Is to be delivered
by Bishop Alexander Walters of the
African NJ. T.. church to the ,colored
people of the country. In his letter
Bishop Walters almdes to Judge Taft
'as a party to the blackest conspir-
|acy ever perpetrated against negro
soldiers"
Bishop Walters accuses President
Roosevelt and republican candidate
Iof having practically endorsed the
lily white movement in the south,
which has for its ultimate object the
practical elimination of the negro
from politics" and adds that the ap-
pointment of the Honorable Luke f..
Wright of Tennessee an ex-confeder-
ate soldier and democrat. to succeed
Mr.. Taft as secretary of war is "a
big democratic support"
1.-The republican party" he asserts,
is the only part that can change the
discriminatory legislation which has
been enacted against us without a
great political upheaval amounting al
most to a revolution. Wherever we
have had sense enough to help the
democratic party, notably in New
York city, democrats have always
shown q Willingness to treat us with
consideration"
After stating that he had been in
formed that Dr. Washington had
abused him for urging colored people
to vote for Bryan, the bishop declared
that he merely urged colored people
to divide their vote and decide for
themselves on the question at issue,
although he himself would vote for
Bryan.
