TAFT OUR FRIEND

The addres of udge Taft to the
Afro-American ministers ought to
convince any sensible member of the
race that he is a friend. His father
Judge Alphonso Taft was so noted
for such friendship that he was chosen
as one of the speakers at the cele-
bration of the adoption of the 18th
Amendment by the colored citizens of
Cincinnati, so that it runs in the Taft
family
Now, we may inquire how, or when
Mr.. Bryan has shown any friendship
for the race? One of two things is
certain: either Mr.. Bryan cares moth
ing for the Afro-American, or he dares
not speak his sentiments. He had
an excellent opportunity when GER
tain prominent Afro-Americans made
overtures to him, buthe remained as
dumb as an oyster.
Moreover, even were Mr. Bryan to
make great professions for friendship
-waht reliance could be placed in
them? As everybody knows, Bryan
has advocated a great many policies
as of transcendant importance, and,
IN a short time thrown them to the
TOUR winds of Heaven. His vagar-
les and inconsistencies have alienated
thousands of Democrats of the strict
est sect. One of his latest fads is
the guarantee bank deposits which
mas Just been repudiated by the Bank
ers National Convention at Denver,
Inc scene of his nomination.
Judge Taft advocates the enforce
ment OF the amendment Bryan con
graduates the West Virginia Demo
Gratis upon their Jim Crow scheme.
we cannot see that Mr.. Bryan has
ever dared to show any friendship for
'he Atro-American, or any disappro-
patton Of any of the solid south devil
"y' not even lynching.

BRYAN AND TILLMAN

On the question of negro disfran-
chisement Bryan, of Nebraska, and
Tillman, of South Carolina, stands
shoulded to shoulder Mr.. Bryan
has defined his attitude in the follow
ing language:
THE white man in the South has
disfranchised the negro in self-pro-
lection. The white men of the South
are determined that the negro shall
be disfranchised everywhere if nee
essary to prevent the recurrence of
the horrors of carpetbag rule"
Senator Tillman has spoken even
more frankly, as witness the following
we stuffed ballot boxes and we
shot negroes. We are not ashamed
of it."
In the South Mr. Bryan poses as
the special friend OF the negroes and
assures them that his election as Presi
dent will be greatly to their advan-
tage. Senator Tillman also insists
that he is their best fgriend Both Of
these eminent Democrats would prove
their friendship for the negro by rob
bing him of his constitutional rights.
That the intelligent negro citizen
of Northern States should vote for
Mr.. Bryan in spite Of his open appro-
val Of the disfranchisement OF their
fellow-negrocs Of the South is simply
unbelievable. As well might they be
expected to vote for the restoration OF
slavery.
The Montana plaindealer. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1906-1911, 1908-10-09
BRYAN AND THE NEGRO

(From the Springfield Republican,
Mr.. Bryan complains thlt Mr.
Taft is stealing from the Dcuoc :, tic
platform and writing things into the
Republican platform which arc not
there. Why not pay him back in his
own coin2 Thus, the Republican
platform has something to say about
the negro, while the Democratic
platform is studiously silent. Let
Mr.. Bryan, then, put something about
the negro, into his personal platform
How can any member of the Repub
lican administration, as Mr., Bryan
complains, misrepresent the attitude
of the Democratic party, when no one
can understand exactly what it is?

Northern States, from the Mason and
Dixon Line to Maine, would be dis
franchised. This proposed new sec
ton to the Fifteenth Amendment not
only carries the white-favored, un-
fair and iniquitous grandfather clause
which would give every white man
the right to vote, whether he could
read or not, and even if he did not
own SO much as the clothes on his
back, but it is so drawn as to make it
possible and probable to deny every
Negro the right to vote even if he
were as wise ae Pluto and as rich
as Croesus. With prejudiced and
Negro hating white men in charge of
registration and thaelections, it would
be an easy matter, just as is done in
the South today, even if Negro ap-
plicantS to register and to vote could
read and repeat from memory, and in
terpret every article, amendment and
section of the Constitution, to say
that same was done incorrectly, ac-
cording to their (the election officers)
under standing of the Constitution.
When appealed to for answers as
to whether such a law would stand
the tests of the courts, influential
Democrats, North as we'll as South,
reply that no disfranchising law pas
sed by any of the Southern States
has yet been repealed or annulled as
unconstitutional
I'VE mean they signify, that if
the control of this government pass
es into our hands, to eliminate the
Negro as a political factor in every
State Of this Union. The Demo-
cratic Party and its candidate for
president is on record as endorsing
the suffrage laws made to protect
the Southern States against Negro
votes"
But" was asked, "supposing a con-
siderable number of Negroes vote for
your candidates, sufficience to turn
any one or more States Democratic,
will that have the effect of minimizing
these sweeping provisions of your
proposed disfranchising law"
The answer is plain, positive and
final. No. We do not ask or want
Negro votes, and would rather go
down to defeat with every Negro
vote recorded against our party than
have victory that was aided by so
much as a single Negro vote"

The Montana plaindealer. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1906-1911, 1908-10-09


Drunk over their success in disfran-
scising the Negro vote of the South,
and made hilarious by the crowds htat
out of curiosity have turned out to
hear William J. Bryan speak, and
buoYed up with the hope that Bryan
will be elected, along with a Demo
cratic Congress, Southern Democrats
already have begun to plan for the
introduction and passage of aection
to the Fifteenth Amendment that will
disfranchise practically every Negro
in the North, just as he has been dis
franchised in the South. The form
of the proposed section has been ten
tatively agreed to and if Bryan and
"a Democratic Congress are elected it
will be introduced almost Immediately
on the convening of the Sixty-first
Congress, in next March.
When questioned as to the probab-
ility of their being able to pass such
a wholesale disfranchising law, and
the probability of securing the coop
Grafton of the Northern Democrats in
Congress and Bryan, if elected presi-
dent, influential Democrats point to
the fact that Mr.. Bryan has already
gone on record as endorsing the dis
franchisement of Negro voters in the
South in his statement of last April,
during his speech at Copper Union
Institute in New York, that the
limit of suffrage is to be justified by
self-protection, and the white man
of the South has adopted a suffrage
qualification for that reason
They also point to the fact that
the resolution Offered, and also ad-
opted by the West Virginia Demo-
cratic State Convention, declaring
for lin crow" cars had the sanction
Of Mr.. Bryan. And as assurance
that Democratic Congressman from
Northern States will support the mea-
sure, they point to the fact that the
amendment to the House Bill, off
cred by Congressman Helm, of Ala
bama, last February, providing Tor
lin crow" street cars in the city OF
Washington and the District OF Col
umbia, was supported by every North
ern Democratic Congressman, not
one failing to vote for its adoption,
The amendment tentatively agreed
upon. but which, before introduction
NAV be made more drastic, is pat
termed after both the North Carolina
Notwithstanding law and the
proposed DISTINGUISHING law for Mary
land, and is as follows:
Every person presenting himself
for registration shall be able to read
and writ and interpret and section OF
the Constitution of the United States
in the English language, and shall be
taxpaver on to the extent OF not
less than $500 worth OF real or per-
sonal property or both. But no
male person who was, on January l.
1867 or at any time prior thereto en-
titled to vote under the laws OF any
State in the United States wherein nc
residede and no lineal descendant OF
any such person shall be denied the
right to register OF to vote at any
election in the United States for the
election OF president OF for any led
eral official by reason of his failure
70 possess the education or prop
erty qualifications herein prescribed
Il will be seen by the above tha
practically every Negro voter in th'
