Chicago, Oct 19.-The refusal Of the
supreme court of the United States 70
act in the case of Herman Billik OF
Chicago brings TO an end one of the
most notable struggles ever made in the
history of American Jurisprudence to

murder of five members of the Vzral
family, and finally sentenced to hang
Billiks last hope now lies with the gov

GIVES SOME REASONS
Why the Colored Voters Should Not
Vote for MIR. Taft.

First-we owe the Republican party
nothing.
Second-We have supported everything
the Republicans have nominated for forty
years, and the only results have been
promises
Third-We feel that if we let the Repub-
llcdn party know the need Of our vote
the result may be different.
Fourth-The ingratitude shown Mr.
Foraker by President Roosevelt and Mr.
Taft is enough to convince every honest
colored man that they owe all the graft
tude the Republicans have ever had to
Foraker Mr.. Foraker was serving this
nation with credit before Mr.. Taft or Mr.
Roosevelt was heard of. Because he took
the stand he did, defending the cOlored
soldiers in the Brownville affair. the Re
publican party has politically buried one
of their greatest men. and then ask me
and other good thinking colOred men TO
swallow what they offer.
F1fth-We want representation and
have been unable to receive it from the
Republicans. There is not a more loyal
man than the colOred man. In time of
peace or war, nobody responds 10 the call
OF this nation more readily than we do.
Sixth-The only political remedy I can
see is TO support Mr.. Bryan and smack
the Republican party in the face because
OF the ingratitude shown Mr.. Foraker.

oGs already employed by the Republicans

state issues.

W II. Leary was the first speaker. He
looked upon the question prcpOunded by
the peerless leader of Democracy. Shall
the people rule2" as the question that
overshadowed all other political consid-
eratIOns He showed that the plutocracy
wanted to rule. in order that il might
protect its material interests which were
opposed to those OF the common people
and the job Of keeping the people from
ruling themselves had been given to the
Republican party. which had been well
paid in contributions to the campaign
fund. That the Republican party is not
betraying its trust was shown by the po-
sition OF the Republicans in congress in
the vote on the reduction of the tariff
on wood pulp, and other measures. Mr.
Leary appealed to the voters to cast off
machine rule in the state and the nation
by voting the Democratic ticket. His ref

MI Bryan continued:
Why is II that they do not go to the
laboring man and the farmer and the
mechanic for contributions? Why is it
that they go to the trust magnate and to
the man who gets the benefit of the high
TARIFF Why do they go TO these men who

1t IS because they put these men IN

that would give to the Philippine com

over there is not a commission chosen
