WHY THE EDITOR swoRE

With terrific cold in his head,
And his eyelids heavy and sore,
The editor sat in his broken chair
And bitterly, earnestly swore.
A youth had dropped in with a poem,
A man was there with a dun,
A chap had entered to tell him
How the paper ought to be run
An irate subscriber had told him
That his sheet wasn't fit to read,
While another had carfully promised
To punch the EDITORS head.
The foreman was yelling for copy.
And the wind whisteled in at the
door,
And this. with few other reasons
Is why the editor swore
But the angel who took It in heaven,
Recorded his verdict there
The jury will find in the present case
Twas iustiiable swear"

MR.. II. II. DARNELLE.

The Republicans throughout the city
are trying to elect Mr. H. II. DarneiIle
as the white delegate TO the Chicago
Convention. There IS no man better
known to the people and no man bet
ter appreciated by the people As as
SCISSOR of the District Of Columbia the
record of Mr. Darneille will surpass any
that has ever held the Office. He Is a
simon-pure Republican and one who has
always looked out for Republicans
whenever in his power TO do so
Mr.. Darneille has not only the con-
hdence Of the Republican party in this
city, bit he has the respect of the par
ty There are thousands of working
men IN this city who will vote for him.
He is popular with colored Republicans
because he was faithful to them when
he was assessor. The colored employ
ees were promo-ed on their merit, and
he never turned a competent colored
man down on account OF his color.

ANSWER.

This journal has endeavored to be
fair with everybody and under all cir
cumstances and conditions The Bee has
been and is a true defender of the Op-
pressed, white and black. The Editor
wears no mans collar, and neither is
he any mans slave.
In the coming contest for delegates
to the National Republican Convention
how do the candidates stand? Will the
many candidates come out and declare
themselves, or will they remain under
cover until after the election? There
are dozens Of men in the field for the
presidency. VIII any of the numerous
candidates declare for any of the fol-
lowing: Foraker, Fairbanks, Hughes,
Knox. Cannon or Taft? There are can
didates upon the fence. Will they come
off and let it be known which of the
candidates for president will make the
best president?
There should be honesty in politics
as we'll as in everything else.
Colored Republicans at heart are all
again Mr. Taft. VIII any one of the
candidates declare for or against him?
There IS not a man running who IS not
at heart against the Administration or
Mr.. Taft but Will any Of the candi-
dates give an expression.
1t was remarked by two or three of
the candidates that they want to go to
the convention to make a deal. With
whom Is this deal to be made, and
what kind of a deal is to be made?
The columns OF The Bee are open to
all candidates to answer, and if they
don't answer he Bee viii answer for
them.

to Congress in 1904 and there are over
10000 Republican Negroes in Oklaho-
ma. Pennsylvania, of course, would be
Republican in any event. but It is in
structive to note that she depends upon
the Negro phalanx for a large part OF
her plurality. Connecticut WIS last
Democratic in 1892, giving Cleveland a
plurality OF So 5; New Haven's Demo
cratic mayor owes his official existence
to Negroes knitting the Republican
ticket in the municipal election last
fall The detection OF any considerable
Republican element III New York, New
Jersey and Ohio next November might
turn the balance to the Democratic side.
Mr.. Taft's political managers may
well ponder the significance of the Sum-
ner Hall meeting. Perhaps, TOO, they
do not regard as quite empty and fu-
tile, with respect to the immediate pros
poets OF Mr.. Taft, the boast made last
September by Mr.. W Calvin Chase, the
Negro editor Of The Bee, that the Ne
gro vote in 1908 would control the
balance Of power in the convention and
on election day.
