CALL OF NATIONAL POLITICAL
SUFFRAGE CONFERENCE OF
COLORED MERICNS.

The positive and notoriously hostile
attiture of the government of our re-
public toward its citizens of color un-
der the present Republican RdmiISs-
tration and the approach of the party
nominating conventions in this year of
1903 produce a crisis for One-eighth of
the citizenship OF these United States
of America. The open alliance between
the President and the nulliiers of the
Constitution in the South constitutes
the most fragrant collusion between a
Republican President and the Southern
Democrats since the emancipation Of
the American slaves fory-fve years
ago today, save in the case OF Andrew
Johnson at the close of the Civil War
or of Rutherford B. Hayes at the close
Of the Reconstruction. But it has re-
mained for the present Chief Executive
Of the United STAKES 10 prescribe III

education for one class of citizens. and
to thus officially brand that class as

u become the best senator his state
has ever had. and that he also intends,
if possible. to be the oldest man in
the senate some day.
Senator Bryan practiced law with
his brother in Jacksonville, and took
a very active part in Democratic poll
tics. In 1902 he was elected county
attorney and during his term he closed
all the gambling houses in his district,
gave the people dry Sundays, prose-
cuted the beef and the ice trusts and
became popular not by closing his
eyes to infractiOns of the law, but
by prosecuting every offender against
whom he could obtain evidence.
In 1904. when Napoleon B. Broward
was running for governor of Florida,
Bryan managed his campaign so sue
cessfully that his man was elected
by a large majority. The governor
showed his appreciation of the young
attorneys services by appointing him
senator to. succeed the late Stephen
r. Mallory, the term expiring March
4, 1909
The youngest senator prior to Bryan
was Henry Clay, who entered the
house at the age of % years. 10
months and II days. He is no rela-
ton to the Nebraska celebrity.

The following letter was sent to Hon
Robert NJ La Toilette, of Wisconsin by
Mr.. w. Calvin Chase:
Washington. d. c., February ;, 1908
Hon. Robert NJ. La Toilette,
United States Senator.
Gear Sir;
In the Congressional Record dated
January 3Ist, 1908. a petition or memo
rial f:cm the Distric, Association, No.
q, knights of Labor, OF Washington,
d. C.. was presented to you, remon-
..rating against the passage of the So
called Doliver-Burleson Bill, relating to
the public schools of this city. Repre-
senring, as | do, the sentiment Of the
ninety thousand colored citizens Of
Washington, permit me 10 say that the
passage of that bill means the destruc-
tion Of not only Our white schools, but
tie colored schools. For over forty
years the colored schools have been Sue
cessfully managed by their own officials
and teachers If there is any disagree
reut in the colored schools at this time
It mas brought about by the appointment
Of the present colored assistant superin-
tendent, who was appointed by DR..
Chancellor, recently removed from the
schools.
The successor OF DIR. Chancellor, Mr..
Stewart the present superintendent, IS
4 man OF the highest integrity, and who
should not be disturbed by the appoint
ment OF a Commission of Education
The colored people compose one-third
OF the entire population of Washington,
and paying taxes upon over twelve
millions of dollars worth of property,
| appeal to you as a friend of the op-
pressed and an apostle OF a square
deal, to use your best efforts in defeat
ing this bill, because its defeat means
the salvation of our schools. and ninety
thousand colored people who are inter
ested in their schools and thousands Of
them have children and teachers in the
schools. Hundreds Of colored teachers
and Normal School graduates are the
sons and daughters of washerwomen
who have toiled necessarily to educate
rtheir children.
Coming, as you do from the great
Statc of Wisconsin, where citizens are
known BY their standing, and not by
the colore 70 their skin, | have the
most implicit confidence in you, and
[ therefore, in their name, as colored
Americans, l subscribe myself,
Faithfully yours,

Dear Sir:-Since the mentioning Of
the name of Hon. J. Franklin Fort
Governor of New Jersey, as a candidate
for Vice President of the United States
I have been asked by prominent citizens
of various States # Governor Fort was
really a candidate. If nominated, would
he accept? What is his attitude toward
the colored citizens? AS to the first
am reliably advised that he is a bona
fde candidate for Vice President of the
United States
As TO the second, | am assured by
the best authority that he will accept il
nominated
As to the third, he has always been
a friend to the colored citizens, not only
of New Jersey but of the United States
In 1884 he was among the first dele
gates to inaugurate, support, and vote
for the candidacy and election of Hon.
John r. Lynch as and to be temporary
chairman of the National Convention
at Chicago, Iii. When upon the bench
he ruled with equal regularity and JUS
tice to all; was never biased or infu-
enced by race or color, bu, fearlessly
and Justly dealt with each case, accord
ing to the merits thereof.
He has always contributed to the sup
port of the institutions for colored
youths, and other charitable institutions
controlled by colored citizens. When
the color question in the public schools
of East Orange, N. J., became an issue
he was the first Of his race to attend
public meeting and give vent TO has
feelings, in this particular, and letting
the country know that he believes the
public schools Of this country should be

alone should not act as a bar 10 de-
