NEGROES BELIEVE
 BRYAN WILL TRY
 TO BE JUST TO THEM

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 2.-"BoIt Taft and vote for Bryaa. Roosevelt is the enemy of the negro because he has op, pressed us, thinking us powerless to resist. He has insulted our soldiers and turned down our protectors. Taft is Rooseyelt's mouthpiece and there fore also an enemy to the negro. Give Bryan chance and he will be just to us.'
 The above is the substance of a res olution adopted by the colored minis ters of Boston. The Revs Benjamin w. Paris, George NJ. Brown, J. H. Dennis, and s. J. Comfort, four of Boston's leading colored preachers, are leaders in the movement.
 Had not W R. Hearst been the per son to bring the charges against Sen ator Foraker he might have benefited from anti-Taft sentiment. Brown said he had been considering forming branches of the Independence League in the South End, but he and his asso- ciates were going to hustle for Bryan.
 Roosevelt has insulted our race, " he said. Taft is but Roosevelt's hench' man. Shame on the colored man.. say, who would vote for Taft We have rights which Theodore Roose- welt in all his glory cannot disregard.
