AS far as the special interests OF
the race are concerned" said Mr.. Ty-
Ter, the Democratic party Is without
an argument. It has for a century
stood like a hungry wolf between the
Negro and his vested rights. What
ever has been accomplished for the
uplift of the black man, morally or
materially, has come through the Re-
publican party: and the future of the
race is bound up almost wholly in
the success or the party of Roosevelt
and Taft In this contest. The Negro
is naturally a Republican, but does
not vote for the party entirely be-
cause Of gratitude for past favors. He
studies the fiscal and economic is
sues. His growing strength in the
arena o. business and knowledge of
the fundamental principles back of
his diversified Ind ustries are causing
him to take note of the things that
affect the stock$p1a rket and influence
trade and fix values. He is standing
by the Republican party, not only be-
cause of the abolition Of slavery, but
because its sound policies make his
business interests secure and protect
his family from the distress that
would be apt to grow out Of Demo-
MI. Tyler referred to the proud
history of the men who had come up
from Ohio and had made an indelli-
BILE impress upon the nation, and;
thought that VIII lam Howard Taft
would be the greatest Of the long
line of Presidents that the Buckeye
State had placed. in, the White House.
He was given a rQusing encore upon
the conclusion of his polished and,
convincing address, It was, indeed,

Republican Association. and the
