have been leaders of the improvement
propaganda at Montrose and their Sc

activity on behalf of both the fire
company and the Montrcse Improve
ment and Protective Association.
The fire company is on a clear high
way to prosperity as was attested by
the report made last right that slOo

fully appreciate the fact that you have
had no market to induce you to raise
these things in large quantities and
believe If you had the market, you would
be glad to do so. and you will probably
feel that you would not care to until the
factory Is built.But on the other hand you

The following letter. addressed to col-

DEAR BROTHER: \
Your name was furnished me by the
State Committee with. theinfomation that
you were one Of the most influential col-
ored men in your community. Necessa-
rily you are a republican and that is the
reason direct this letter to you. Of course
the colored people are not exactly satisfied
with the republican candidate, Mr.. Taft
but that has nothing to do with the elec-
ton of the candidate for congress in your
district. who is Mr.. C. E. Creager y
This league was formed to promote the
welfare of our race and to protect it polltA
ically and socially, and when Mr.. Creager
came up for nomination he promised the
colored people, if nominated and elected,
that he would see that they got seventy
per cent. of the public offices Of the Third
district. as their vote comprises seventy
per cent. of the republican vote of that
district. Mr.. Creaeer was born and reared
in the North and has no sectional preid-
dice against the negro, and we feel salts
fed that if he is elected he will carry out
his pledges to our race. g
On the other hand, Mr., J. S. Davenport.
who has served one term in congress, has
clearly shown that he only works for the
interest Of the white and Indian people
and cares nothing for the colored people
and viii do nothing to help uplift our race
politically and socially So when you 60
to the polls on November 3rd. put vote
in for Creaeer
Yours faithful in brotherhood,

of the democratic national committee, who
is equally certain of 333 for Bryan, out Of
483 votes in the electoral college.
In New York state the republicans claim
that the democratic vote in Greater New
York will be Offset by the big upstate
majority. The democrats claim otherwise
and are depending upon the labor vote to
turn the tide in then direction. The best
opinion seems to be that the state is in
doubt, and only the counting Of the votes
can be depended on to determine the re-
suit.
