BRYAN APPROVES IT

In the recent Democratic conven.
tion in West Virginia the following
excerpt is from its platform, with an
Endorsement of William Jennings
Bryan.
Believing that the extension of
the elective franchise to a race in
ferior in intelligence and without
preparation for the wise and pru-
dent exercise of a privilege so vita
to the maintenance of good govern
ment was a mistake, if not a crime,
committed by the Republican party
during the reign of passion and pre-
judice following the Civil War, for
political ends and purposes, we de-
clare that the Democratic party is
in favor of so amending the Constr
tuition as to preserve the purity OF
the ballot and the electorate of the
State from the evil results from con-
ferring such power and privilege up
on those who are untitled to appre-
ciate its Importance as it affects the
stability and preservation OF good
government.
"We favor the enactment of law
requiring common carriers engaged
in passenger traffic to furnish sepa-
rate coaches or compartments for
white and co1ored passengers"
Mr. Bryan's telegram:
Il greatly appreciate the cordial
Endorsement given by your Conven-
ton, and share with you in the hops
that the hearty cooperation promised
may insure a Democratic victory in
West Virginia and the National
Convention.
(Signed) "W. J. Bryan"

?. Some of the policies Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt have been to dismiss
the colored troops to keep them out,
to stigmatize them as perjurers and
assassins no better than Guiteau or
Czolgolz, to declare that he would
veto a bill restoring them to the ar
my, should such a measure pass Con-
gress and, if passed over his veto,
10 refuse to execute it. Judge Taft
declares that the Roosevelt policies
are his policies. He makes no ex-
option in any of them; therefore, we
have a right to conclude that he will
follow out the Roosevelt policies in
every way: that means to keep out

were calls for Mr.. Vernon, who re-

AUDITOR R W. TYLER.

The people Of this country are
not aware that all colored office
holders are not alike. As a rule
Republican administrations in re
cent years have appointed quite a
number of apologists and trimmers
to presidential positions. There is
lone man in this city in the person
OF the Auditor for the Navy De
partment who is an honor to his
race and the position he holds
President Roosevelt made no mis-
take when he named Mr.. Tyler.
He is a manly man, and one in
whom the people may place conf
dence. Since his appointment to
his present position he has prOmOt-
ed meritorious colored employees in
his office. He hasn't allowed his
understrappers or deputies to run
his office, and neither has he allow
ed any employe, white or colOred,
to be ill-treated by his understrap-
pers. Such men honor the posi-
tions to which they are appointed.
While it is true that Mr.. Tyler
was appointed to the position he
occupies as the representative Of
his people, he treated all natiOnai-
ties alike, and whenever an oppOr-
tunity presents itself he sees that
colored Americans get their share
Of the favors.

and beliefs? Answer, I say; l dare
you to answer and justify your
selves.
As for Brother George w. Lee,
we have nothing but pity - he has
been on both sides a half dozen times
already during the present campaign
On Saturday night, the 18th inst,
he rode down to the residence OF
DR.. S. L. Corrothers about nine
o'clock with his wife; called DR.. Cor
rcthers out, and told him that he had
had a dream-that the God he serves
tod him that he was wrong on this
political question (this was after
Flop No. p ard that ne ought to 20
back to the side of Bryan; that he
could not support TAFT, considering
his record on the Negro questiOn,and
that he was not going to support him
(Taft). Judging from Rev. Lees
speech at True Reformer Hall (af-
ter Flop No. 3 it would seem that
Rev. Lee has been having some more
dreams.
The shibboleth Of these Taft Ne
groes is THE Grand Old Party, and
they ask us to be true and consistent.
Has the Republican party been true
and consistent with the Negro?. Par
ties are a means to an end but when
they cease to serve that end, our sup
port of them should cease. If l
would reach my destination, what
matters it whether / go by rail,the
flying machine, or use the steamship?
In other words, who would be fool
enough to fout a traveller for stick
ing to a steamship, when the sea had
to be crossed, in order to be "con-
sistent@? The constituency that
counts is the constituency Of COM
mon sense.
Besides, it does not necessarily
make a Democrat because he votes
for Mr.. Bryan, the Democratic can
didate, this time.
Let the Taft supporters meet US
with argument, and not shallow SEN
timentality, and we do not fear the
result.

From the Riverside Daily Press.
Occasionally Republican is found
who says he would have been glad
to vote for Roosevelt had he been re-
nominated, but he does not feel very
we'll satisfied to vote for Taft. Well,
II he believes in Roosevelt and his
policies. he certainly ought to be able
to accept his judgment regarding
Taft.

REPUBLICANS ENDORSE MR..
TAFT.


The meeting last Saturday night,
under the auspices of the New York
Empire Republican Club, at True Re
formers Hall, was a big success.
The hall was packed and enthusiasm
was ripe and rife. All the speakers
were at their best, and it was fine
galaxy of speakers. 1t was the first
meeting held here to advance the
cause of the Republican party and
Candidate Taft during this campaign.
The country has been led to believe
that this CITY was the hotbed OF Re
publican disaffection, but this meet
ing demonstrated that there are a lot
Of Negroes here loyal to the party.
Rev. George Lee, in his inmitable
way, and with droll humor, made a
telling argument to show why the col
ored vote should support Taft At
torney Harry Cummings, of Balt-

THAT ANTI-WASHINGTON
PARTY.

The Bee does not take much
stock in the report being circulated
that a contingent in Washington,
with DR.. w. T. Vernon, William
Clifford and L. NJ. Hershaw at
the head, have or are organizing
an anti-Booker Washington party
and will soon start a newspaper
here to antagOnizc DR.. Washing
ton and to put The Bee out of bus
mess. Putting The Bee out of bus
mess has been tried before, and
failed. And as for DR.. Vernon
heading an opposition party to d..
Washington we can hardly con
ceive of such a move when we re
call that when DR.. Nernon's con-
frmation was held up for months
he sought the aid of Booker Wash
ington, and possibly thereby saved
himself from defeat. We are
aware that an effort has been made
to start a rival newspaper to The
Bee, and DR.. Vernon was at the
meeting, but as yet the paper has
not materialized. When his con-
hrmation was hanging in the bal
ance it is a matter of history that
The Bee supported him, and for
which we received nor asked moth
ing. We don't take any stock in
this report; but if true we warn
certain little pot-house politicians
without a following that they are
running up against a brick wall.
The Bee is here to stay, whether
a rival sheet is started or not. The
Bee welcomes another newspaper,
or as many as they care to start,
but if one is started with the ex-
pressed purpose Of putting TheBee
out of business, there will be lot
of business doing. Washington is
full of rumors, and we know there
are a few small-fry who are envi-
Gus Of DR.. Washington; but they
are like flies to an elephant, COM
pared to him. 1t takes not only
brains but money to start newspa-
pers. Look at the newspaper
graveyard around Washington for
proof. Fire when ready.

Redemption" Conferred Upon
Dr.. Booker T. Washington
BY African Republic.
Mission of Liberian Commissioners
% America Successful Because OF
Active Sympathy and Cooperation
of the Tuskcgecan - Fitting Re-
ognition of His Eminent Services.
From the time the Liberian ENJOYS
landed at New York on their diplo-
matte mission to this country, their
constant guide, counsellor and
friend" was DR.. Booker 7. Washing
ton. Through his influence and be
cause of the faith they had in his
Judgment. the President of the Unit
ed Statess, the Secretary of War,
the Secretary of Agriculture, the
Attorney General and other high Of
fcials readily gave audience to Vice
President Dossen, Former President
Gibson and Attorney Dunbar, and
took an unusually sympathetic inter
est in the projects which brought
them to this country. It is yet too
soon to make predictions as to the
outcome of their negotiations with
this Government, as many displomat-
ic forms must be observed and plans
so far reaching as those proposed
must be approached with the utmost
caution; yet it is plain that the Ii
berian Commissioners made a deep
impression upon the officials of the
United States and the latter will
doubtless go as far as propriety will
admit in advancing the welfare of
the promising African Republic.
It is universally recognized that
the apparent success OF the negOtia-
tions of the Liberians in this coun-
try welded a vital influence in NOV
ing the German Government to give
attentive ear to their representations
and led to a tentative agreement to
grant the much-desired immunity
from the alleged encroachments up
on their territory by commercial ex-
ploiters of European nations. The
visit to Tuskegee, under the escort
personally provided by DR.. Washing
ton, gave the Commissioners a long
wished-for opportunity to witness the
Wizards" great industrial beehive
in active operation, and enabled them
to acquire many new ideas touching
| the method of teaching the various
industries necessary to the proper de-
velopment of their own people. The
introduction of the Liberian Commits
sioners to the substantial, progressive
and result-producing men and wom-
er of this country, of both races
placed them in direct touch with the
| forces that made their journey a tri-
umphant success, and they and the
observant citizens of America are
not slow to attribute the lions share
of the credit for the recognition &C
! corded them to that master of di
plomacy, constructive stateman anC
preacher Of the gospel of self-help

REPUBLICANS vs..

DEMOCRATS.
The Republican meeting held un-
der the auspices Of the Epmire Re
publican Club, at True Reformers
Hall, last Saturday evening, was
a set-off to the one held under the
auspices Of the anti-Taft Republi-
cans. The most surprising thing
about the entire meeting was the
absence Of an Endorsement of the
Roosevelt poiicis and Mr.Taft. Not
a spaker referred either to Mr.Taft
or Mr.. Roosevelt.
The argument 10 be made by the
Republican or the Democratic par
ty should be supported by the col
Ored Americans. 1t IS a question
of human rights and shal the col
ored American be permitted to en-
JOY them under the Constitution.
Revs. Corrothers, Walters and
others argue that the Republican
party should be defeated. Their
reasons are:
First - The Republican party
has deserted the colored Ameri-
cans and left them to the mercy of
the Democratic party.
Second - They admit that the
Democratic party is justified in
disfranchising the colored Ameri-
cans because they will not vote for
that party.
On the other hand, the advocates
OF Republican principles say:
Fi1st - Replying to the first al
legation, that it is unwise for col
ored men to go over to the enemy
because of the alleged desertion.
The party to which the colored
Americans go has been inimical to
the race and IS doing everything to
deprive the colored Americans Of
those rights which were given them
BY the Republican party.
= How can the Democratic party
be justified in depriving the color
ed man Of his vote because he re-
fuses to vote for the man who en-
slaves him. Where IS the consist
encv? There IS a great deal for
the colOred man to learn.
REPUBLICANS EULOGIZE.
The oratory that was displayed
last Saturday evening at the meet
ing held under the auspices of the
Empire Republican Club was of A
varied character. One speaker was
very pronounced in declaring that
no matter what the Democratic
party did to the Negro or what
ever the Republican party would
do. he would vote the Republican
ticket Just the same. This is where
colored orators lose their heads. In
stead OF colored men telling tht
truth, they present to Republican
managers glittering generalities anC
misstatements.
It should be borne in mind ant
Republican managers should be in
formed that dissatisfaction amon&
colored voters IS strong. If tn
sentiment in the States is as StronI
as it is in this city against the Re
publican party, theme certainly can
not be smooth sailing. These i
a great deal Of opposition to tn
Republican ticket, and those VIII
declare that there is none are Ger
tainly deceiving the party.
While the meeting was largel.
attended last Saturday evening, !
must be admitted that the enthusi
asm that characterized the othe
meeting was lacking.
There Is something wrong.
