SAYS COLORED men
ARE WAKING UP
REALIZE IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE IN
NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION,
SAYS A. A. POOLE.

Colored men the country over are
more Interested In action for the bene
fit OF the laboring classes. to which
most Of them belong. than In anything
else. This is the view taken by AL
pheus A. Poole. delegate to the Detroit
Federation of Labor and one of the
leaders OF his race in this city.
1t Is because of this belief that bet
ter conditions for toilers are the all
important consideration, that Poole is
supporting Bryan
There has been an effort" he says
by some colored takers to tell our
people that they must not support
Bryan because conditions are not fair
to our race In the south and because
the south supports Bryan. That Is q
bogie.
'The Republican party has done
nothing for the southern Negro in the
last 40 years. II would do nothing
more under Taft than II has under
other Republican presidents. The
southern Negro must deal himself
with the people with whom he lives
he must MAKE ttTIub Win Tic LhCii
with whom he works and who depend
on his labor. and pay less attention tc
help that will not come from the poll
ticians Of the north.
Conditions were no worse under
Cleveland than under the Republican
presidents as far as the south was con.
cerned. In fact, fewer Negroes were
lynched during his terms than at other
times. There was less friction be-
tween the races.
THE Republican party has been In
power long enough to remedy the
evils from which our race suffers II II
was ever going to. How long do they
want us to wait-another half-hundred
years?
"Colored men are workers, wage
earners, and they are beginning to
realize that their interests lie with the
labor movement. Colored Republic.
ans in this movement have realized
that a change is necessary for their
benefit quicker than have the white
