The Colorado statesman., 1908-09-19

The two great parties of Colo
RADIO have held their respective
state conventions and are now pre-
senting their platforms for en-
dorsement and their candidates for
election to the highest office in
the gift of the people.
The Democratic convention at
Pueblo was an exhibition of cor
porate corruption and political hy
pocricy, so fragrant and insulting
to the civic virtue of Colorado
vsters, that it Will be passing
strange if the ticket nominated re-
ceives the full vote of the delegates.
The Colorado Statesman is pleased
to announce, that in this conven-
ton there were no Negroes except
such as clamor for the loaves and
fishes " They belong to class
who can do no party any real good.
The convention was a ludricrous
display of chicanery and schem-
ing.
The Republican convention met
in the city of Denver last Satur-
day. The inovation by one of our
distinguished Negro divines, seem

ed to act as a harmonizer. In less
than day the grand old party had
given to the citizens of Colorado a
ticket and a platform worthy their
hearty support.
The history of the Republican
party in Colorado during the past
ten years, is record of the re-
demption of the state. That the
splendid work begun. by the party
should continue, ought to appeal
to every Negro voter. The Colo
RADIO Statesman points with great
pride to the ever increasing number
of Colored business men, farmers,
and professional men, settling in
the state. For them to succeed and
by their success increase the num-
Der, and, also inspires our young
people with an ambition to rise
above their present environment.
We must labor diligently that
prosperity may continue. We need
more Colored farmers. We need
more Negro business men. The
best way to secure them is to keep
the wave of prosperity always high.
We know that what benefits the

publican column this year, no one
doubts. But the coming of Mr.. Taft
to Denver in October will do much
to rouse the voters. The results
in Vermont and Maine have been
far from satisfactory. 1t means
that Western states usually regard
ed as sure Bryan strongholds must
be vigorously attacked and if pos
sible saved for the party In all
these states are many Colored
voters. Their influence for the
party is worth the effort. 1t is
highly important to the success of
the Republican party that every
loyal party man make supreme
effort to bring another vote. Colo
RADIO must roll up a rousing Re
publican majority. The result in
Maine means more work in the
West. The venile exhibition of
political trading and scheming at
Pueblo last week doubly demands
that Colorado be saved from the
fate of being turned over to such
gang of heartless plumbers and
selfseekers.
