WHY BRYAN is SUPPORTED

The reasons why William j. Bry-
an is supported By the thousands o..
the electorate who are for him, are
many. Some OF them are:
He is universally admitted to be
an honest and incorruptible man.
and the country needs men of this
kind at its head as it has not had
in years.
He was nominated because he is
the recognized head of his party.
He was not forced on the conven-
ton which named him.
He represents the opposition, or
the one hand, to the growth of the
power OF trusts and monopolies over
legislation; and on the other, to
Imperialism, extravaganza and the
one-man power that dictates presi-
Dental succession.
He is the candidate of reunited
Democracy which is giving him it's
full support because it believes in
MIN; Of thousands Of Republicans
VINO believe that this is a time in
he nations history when the well
fare Of the country is Of more i'm
portance than party success; OF
those OF no party who hail him as
the champion of the people.
He is man whose campaign fund
coming from the people is pub

lie stands for the defense Of la

TO INDEPENDENT VOTERS:
TAFT AND THE NEGRO QUESTION

The Republican platform con aims
the following plank.
We declare once more and with
out reservation for the enforcement
OF the letter ami spirit of the tnir-
teenth. fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments TO the constitution.
which are designed for the advance
nent and protection OF the negro.
and we condemn all devices which
have for Their real aim his disfran-
chisement for reasons OF color alone
as unfair, un-American and repug-
nam to the supreme law of the
land"
In mis- speech OF acceptance OF
the Republican nomination Mr.. Taft
said:
The Republican platform refers
70 those amendments to the con-
stitution that were passed by the Re
publican party for the protection
II the negro. 1t Is needless
% state that stand with my part
squarely on that plank IN the plat
iorm
IL the Republican party and Mr..
Taft DO NOT mean to enforce these
declarations If given the power. then
that party and its candidate are
airs and demag )gues and as such
unworthy OF the support of any
right-thinking southern man.
If the Republican party and Mr..
Taft DO mean what they say then
Virginia and every southern state
lust, in the event of Republican
success, expect the most vigorou9
partisan attack upon the validity OF
our new election laws, and The most
determined effort to restore the ne
gro to political power.
Both candidates are personally
clean and honest, but it is the party
not the candidate for president
who will be put in power by this
election.

White men, more disreputable by
