RIGHTS AND, PROGRESS OF THE
: >2.,, NEGRO, t.= 81:

'y H ,
+ (From Taft's Speech of Acceptance. J,
The Republican platform refers to
these amendments to the constitution
that were passed by the Republican
party for the protection Of the Ne
gro. The Negro, in the 40 years
since he was freed from slavery, has
made remarkable progress. He is
becoming more and more, valuable
member of the communities in, which
he lives, The education Of the Ne
gro is being expanded and improved
in every way, The best, men of both
races, at the north as well as the
SOUTH ought to rejoice to see grow
ing up among the southern people
an influential element disposed to
encourage. the Negro in his hard
struggle for Industrial independence
and assured political status. The
Republican platform, adopted at Chi
cago, explicitly demands justice for
all men. without regard to race or
color, and just as explicitly declares
for the enforcement, and without
reservation, in letter and spirit, OF
the 18th, 14th and 18th amend
ments to the constitution. It is need
less to state that I stand with my
party, sQuarely on that plank In the
platform, and believe that equal JUS
tice to all men, and the fair and i'm
partial enforcement Of these amend
ments is in keeping with the real
American spirit of fair play. &c.. e.:
