Washington, June 9.-t'ormer Sen
atOr VIM. Il. Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, in an address last night urged
the negroes 10 vote against SecTe-
tary Taft for president and suggest
ed that they might obtain better re-
suits If they supported the Demo
cratic party.
He also urged the negroes to de-
mand that the republican party in
6ert a plank in their platform for the
enforcement of the Fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution
Il want to tell you colored men and
women" said Senator Chandler, that
the oppression of the negro in the
South is due TO the fact that mem
bers OF your race have persiStently
supported the republican party. Now
would not the Democratic party feel
mere kindly toward the negro If he
was to vote the Democratic ticket.
"A crisis has been reached in the
history of the country. COlOred VOC
ers should take immediate steps to
protect their interests. Secretary
Taft's attitude on the Fifteenth
amendment to the constitution. which
insures your birth right, is we'll
known 10 everyone, aid to support
him for president means you will be
amendment has not been enforced by
the republican party. Heretofore ne
gro voters Of the country have ask
ed few favo-s Of the republican party
but the time has now arrived for
them to demand this amendment be
vigorously enforced
NEGRO DEPRIVED OF RIGHTS.
In former years negroes enjoyed
two privileges, namely. the right 10
attend Republican caUcuses and con
ventiOnS on terms of equality with
their white brothers. and of enlfstnS
in the United States army. An effort
is now being made by the republican
party to deprive you CT these priyi-
leges.
"If the Brownsville affair had in
volved white. instead Of black. sol
diers. the matter never would have
resulted as it did. Had the com
panies consisted of white soldiers
and it was deemed necessary TO di
charge them. | venture 10 say they
would long since have been enlisted,
The only reason Frank Hitchcock
permitted colored Southern delegates
to go to the convention was because
northerners made A howl. Had there
been no voice raised in the north
against the disbarment there would
have been no negro delegates at the
national convention. Personally
recognize political equality among
the negroes and white voters.
Senator Chandler closed his re
marks by saying: 1T is not so much
who will be the next president, but
what shall be the principles of the
republican party
