1t says:
IF the past is recalled by the Ne

tact that every privilege he has in
this country came to him at the hands
OF the Republican party. Every pro-
position was fought by the democrats
during the long years of struggle
over the Negro question following the
close of the Civil War. The history
OF the United States tells it's own
conclusive story on those points. Free
dom, manhood, education, suffrage,
opportunity were given by the party
OF which Taft is now the chosen
leader"
The above shows what the Afro

he owes to Mr.. Bryans party, as fol-
