WE WIN AND WE LOSE.

The defeat of the Republican party
in the state and county is a grievous
loss, but we can rejoice that we have
gone down in support of principle.
Where it was possible to barter for
votes by the surrender OF what the
party stands for, our leaders refused,
and they were right. So ii is that we
say, we win and we lose. 1t is with
some shame that Republican looks
back upon the manner in which the
party has been a purveyor of Drivi-
lege to the Evans corporations. rhe
forthcoming water question has been
the disturbing element in the county
politics and TO the election of his tools
the best energies of the Evans ma
chine have been bent. The sheriff,
the district attorney. happily are Re-
publicans and do not wear his collar.
If the supreme court does not take a
hand and re-juggle the Rush bill and
move them out of Office, we can rest
easy that the people will have fair
play on the settlement of the water
franchise. If, however. we are strip
ped of this protection by the courts,
we will have TO win anyhow. rax-
payers, look at your water taxes: ask
your friends from other cities what
they pay. Educate yourselves. then
you will be ready to vote Remember
that this generation will get only one
cnance at the water hog,

WE CONGRATULATE BOTH SIDES.

For the first time in the history OF
this state, we have had organized eff
forts among colored voters on benalf
of both great parties. Considerable
energy was put forth by both, anu ar
guments, workers, literature and all
he means OF persuasion known to
politics were plentiful Yet we have
run the race. and the colored people
have not taken the political differ
ences, our friendships remain as
strong as ever, our hopes and plans
for the race have not suffered, in
short, we have adopted the white
mans way of playing the game We
congratulate Republicans and Demo-
Gratis upon the dawn of the new style
of campaigning, and hope they will
remember 1t in the future
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1908-11-07
OUR CONDUCT in PUBLIC PLACES

There seems to lurk in some colored
peoples minds the idea that they
should be conspicuous in public places
where they come into contact with
the whites. On no other basis IAN We
account for the uncouth bearing some
show where good breeding should
make us quiet and unpretentious. Ma
ture has set us apart by the color OF
cur skin and our racial peculiarities,
withou. additional differences of our
own making. Leave off street corner
posing and loud talking; be courteous
and remember it becomes a colored
gentleman to offer lady his seat i'll
the street car, even if she is white;
be cleanly in dress, but not conspic-
uous; in short, use common sense and
the day will be hastened when we will
reap return in kind of the good
deeds we have sown.

Franklin's paper the statesman., 1908-11-07

The victory of the Republican ma
tional ticket makes us joyful We are
so glad that our friends still have tRe
helm of state A few mutineers rave,
but the country moves on to its great
er destiny. We are proud OF the part
played by colored Republicans in the
victory. Rarely has the vast majority
stood more firmly for the party, and
considering that their position re-
auired defense against the attacks or
the Bryanites, it is a compliment TO
both their brains and their steadfast-
ness. Mr. Taft owes much TO the col
ored Republicans, and we shall trust
to his fairness to DO his best to bring
us up to the plane OF untrammeled
American citizenship.

had another good effect in that the

hauling mortgaged stuff to the mar
