Tha Nnaro Note.

OMAHA, Aug. Ito the Editor OF Tbs
Bee: I have learned through the columns
Of your paper that West Virginia Nemocrats
have entered the ranks OF the other rad
ical southern democratic states by injeot-
ing IN their convention platform planka
completely eliminating the negro from his
elective franchise, and also separating him
from his liberty as an American citiSen by
delegating him to the Jim Crow car serv'
ice. This being true, / do not think II
amisa to say to my friends that no rational
or sane negro can afford to throw away hia
liberty and his rights by voting the demo
cratic ticket or anything that savors Of
democracy,
Governor Vardaman OF Mississippi en-
phatieAlly states that even a negro gradu-
ate OF Harvard or Yale college is worse
than a dog IN his estimation. and that be
would prefer the democratic party to so
down in defeat rather than solicit one
negro vote. Can any negro digest this
sweet morsel and then vote the democratic
ticketS Under what party state govern
ment are the recent lynchings and riota
conducted IN Texas md contiguous terri
tory9 why democratic, OF course, and
then you would vote with them to con-
tinue and spread Its unsavory wings FUR
ther north, where you enjoy privileges
which are denied you there, What self
respecting negro with one iOta OF race pride
within him would do sof
Some may, no doubt say that the repub-
licRn party has done very little for you.
My friend, stop and consider the absolute
facts, that whatever has been done. be Il
little or much, all that you now possess
was done and given you by the party who
made It possible for you to become men.
The thirteenth. fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the constitution OF the
United States was instituted by republicans
for your good, The negroes OF this country
have received more recognition under the
last republican administration more has
been done to solve the race problem than
under any other in the past and as Judge
Taft, in his letter OF acceptance, has clearly
and ~emphatically stated that he intended
TO continue the R~ooseveltlan policies, II be-
hooves every negro who has q vote to vote,
and to vote the republican ticket straight,
from top to bottom. Take no chances
try no experiments and let we'll enough
alone. Yours truly,
