Tells NEGROES
To CAST BALLOTS
FOR DEMOCRATS
Congressman Pratt Says They
No Longer Need Parental
Touch at the Polls.
"RACE USED WHEN NEEDED;
CAST ASIDE OTHER TIMES"
Enthusiastic Greeting Given to
Hanssling, Harrigan and Os-
borne at Ratification.

Congressman lie Gage Pratt. Mayor
lam Harrigan. Harry V. Osborne and
James A. Carr, the latter a former
assistant corporation attorney of New
York, were speakers last night at a
negro meeting in Persons Hall, Plane
street. James III. Mason presided Mr..
Pratt made a strong address for the
entire ticket. and referred to the
Brownsville affair. A silent tribute was
paid to Judge Howelrs memory.
Mr.. Carr. who is an influential leader
among the negroes In New York. stirred
his hearers to enthusiasm. He told
them that since the emancipation of
their race the Republican party had
used the negroes when they needed
their help, but at other times they were
cast aside or abused.
Negro voters, said Mr.. Carr, should
be Democrats. While a lot of sentiment
So accorded the race by the Republic
cans. the Democratic party is the only
citizens, he averred.
Congressman lie Gage Pratt told OF
his knowledge OF the negro race many
years in the South and here.
~ feel" he said, ''that I am in a po-
sition to speak to you particularly, be-
cause, while born and bred in old New
England, a greater portion of my life,
until the time of coming to this city,
was spent In the Southland. My home,
for many years, was in Georgia, and I
was married In San Antonio. Texas.
Our only child was born In the South
and during ali these years I have been
in close contact with the colored peo-
plc."
FRA Praises Negro Race.
Mr. Pratt paid a tribute to the faith
fulness of the negroes to their friends
and, although he had always employed
negroes, In only one instance had he 10
dismiss one.
IT see many faces here with which I
am familiar said Mr.. Pratt, and it
will therefore not be- improper for me
to suggest that any colored man will
make no mistake In voting for the
Democratic ticket offered to them In it's
entirety. I mean from the top to the
very bottom, without scratch or reser-
walton.
$50 far as tho head Of the ticket Is
concerned, l see no good reason why
you should not vote and work with en-
t1usiasm for William Jennings Bryan
and John W. Kern, if for no other
reason that neither have ever shown
the slightest disposition to place any
embargo upon your onward course and
to your ambition to attain an equal po-
sition In life with n right-minded,
