THE NEGRGfS
OPPOSE TAFT

Philadelphia, April Negro bish-
ops, editors and other leaders of the
race met here today in what they
call national convention" and will
go on record as opposing the admins
tration Of President Roosevelt and the
candidacy Of Secretary Taft The
leaders in the movement are Bishop
Alexander Walters Of the African
Methodist Zion church, the Rev Dr.
William H. Scott, president of the
Negro Suffrage league, and William
Monroe Trotter, president Of the New
England Constitution and Suffrage
league.
President Rooseyelt's actions are de-
nounced as a fragrant collusion be-
tween republican president and
southern democrat. Among the denun-
ciatory statements of the leaders in
today's convention are the following:
"The positive ana notorious hostile
attitude Of the government toward it's
citizens Of color under the present re-
publican administration and the ap-
proach Of the nomination conventions
Of the year 1908 produce a crisis for
one-eighth of the citizenship Of the
United States Of America The open
alliance between the president and the
nullifers of the constitution in the
south constitutes the most fragrant
collusion between republican presi-
dent and the southern democrats
since the emancipation Of the Amer
can slaves forty-flve years ago. save
in the case Of Andrew Johnson at
the close of the war, or of Rutherford
B. Hayes at the close of reconstruc-
ton. But 1t has remained for the
present chief executive to prescribe
in an official document an inferior
grade Of education for one class Of
citizens, and to brand that class as
concealers Of criminals and rapists;
while the defaming and discharge in
disgrace of more than one hundred
soldiers, all colored, without trial or
chance to be heard in their own de-
fense, is a denial upon oolored citi-
zens Unprecedented in our nations
history.
"The placing of the nations sane
ton upon the segregation Of citizens
for and because of color in public
travel but completes the maltreat-
ment of the eolored citizen under the
present administration leaving him
stripped Of rights, branded, and in
contempt"

Chicago april IA determined
fight for and against the Sunday open
ing Of saloons marks the spring cleo
ton here today. Voters In other sec
tions Of the state will be given an
opportunity to decide between the
"wets" and the "drys." Leaders in
the movement for an open Sunday are
iubilant and declare that Chicago will
today be rescued from the reign of
hypocrisy" The appearance Of the
ballot in today's election was brought
about by the United societies, which
collected 13,O5O feet of signatures, rep
representing nearly 10000 voters to
pass upon the question The petitions
made a pile nearly seven feet high,
and justify the United societies work
ers in hope for the successful ter
mination of the fight.
Local option is the principal issue
to be decided in nearly three-fourths
Of the 1O2 counties in Illinois. Spring
field the state capital, has been the
scene Of hot campaign The IL
quor dealers of that city combined to
give a horrible example by voluntar-
lily closing for few days, in order to
show the voters the order of things
to be expected under the program pro-
posed by the anti-saloon league work
ers. The "wets' are hopeful that this
practical demonstration will bring alb.
out a reyulsion of opinion that will
send the "drys" to hopeless defeat in
the election.
Twelve hundred townships and
towns are taking part in today's gi-
gantic contest between the forces of
personal liberty" and the opponents
of the rum demon" Spirited cam
paigns have been waged in all Of
them. Leaders Of the anti-saloon
league are predicting that from 1000
to 5000 saloons will be wiped out OF
existence today
Today's elections are being held un-
der the provisions OF the township
city and village local option law. The
last local option elections previously
held in the state took place in Nov
ember, when, out OF Lol precincts in
the southern part Of the state 141
voted dry This was heralded as a
great victory by the anti-saloon league
officials, and they are hopeful Of re
peating the victory on a larger scale
today.
In this city, the stronghold Of the
liquor traffic in Illinois, one-half Of the
territory is dry, saloons having beer
abolished from all the principal resi-
dence districts.

UNION MEETS

Chicago, April 6.-Laboring men of
Socialistic tendencies are gathered in
Chicago today for the general conve~-
ton of the Industrial Workers of the
World, the United Mine Workers Of
America, the Western Federation Of
Miners, the National Union of Iitho-
graphers and other organizations are
in attendance. 1t is hoped that the
conference will result in extending
the principles of industrial unionism"
upon which the Western Federation of
Miners the famous Haywood-Moyer
organization is based
Leaders of the industrial union
movement denounced the Civic Fed
GRAFTON which is alleged to be can
ally to the capitalists" and the labor
leaders who belong to it are called
"mis-leaders." 1t is declared that the
old style labor union tends to the per
petuation of capitalism and the perma-
nent enslavement of the workers
through the wage system
The Industrial Workers Of the World
is based entirely upon socialistic ideas
and has never been very successful in
its propaganda except among the
miners of the western states.

NILL OFFER PREMIUMS
0N PURE BRED Corn

Newkirk Okla, April 6.--J. F. Wea-
yer. secretary Of the Corn Breeders
association, has given out the following
which win be Of interest to all the
corn growers Of the state:
Owing to the fact that the National
Corn association viii hold a corn show
lat Omaha, Neb., in December. 1908
and that such exhibit is open for
everyone who is a corn grower to take
part, it is the desire OF the Oklahoma
Corn Breeders and Growers associa-
tion that corn raisers prepare for this
exhibit so that Oklahoma may take
the place she should occupy as a corn
raising state
THE advantage derived from a prop
er exhibit to the state can hardly be
over estimated and we insist that the
corn raisers prepare to make a full
exhibit and select their best ears to
plant a special plot to raise corn for
this purpose, and for various county
and state fairs
The premium list is not yet made
out, but will be liberal, and the rules
regulating the same are not yet com
pleted but will be made public later.
In order to do our best, now is the
time to start raising the prize ears
of corn.

The fleet

San Deigo, Cal, April 6.-With the
arrival of the battleship fleet off San
Deigo now but few days distant, en-
thusiasm in this city is passing all
bounds and the celebration to be held
here will doubtless be the most re-
markable ovation in the history OF the

their hospitality, but San Deigo being
the first of the American cities on the
Pacific coast to give welcome to the
returning sailors is also determined
to take precedence in the enthusiasm
Of its greeting. For weeks the var
ious committees have been working
night and day and the result of their
labor is already apparent. Thousands
of invitations have been sent out to
prominent citizens of California, Ari-
zona and New Mexico and assurances
of large crowds of distinguished visit
ors have been received.
Pictures of Rear Admiral Evans and
other officers plaster the town. The
stores are running over with souvenir
postal cards relating to the fleet. Eve
rywhere it is feet feet, fleet, and
also all along the coast.
New features are constantly being
added, the fastest being a novel one.
1t is proposed that each sailor in the
fleet be presented with P dozen oran-
ges and a big boquet Of flowers. This
win mean about 10000 boquets, and
100000 oranges.
There will be boat races by the
crews Of the fleet for prizes offered
by the people Of San Deigo, also
numerous dances, a banquet to the
officers, illumination OF the city and
harbor, land End naval parades and
concerts.
A jeweled sword viii be presented
to Admiral Evans, and his wife will
receive a ieweled gold key, symbol
cal of the freedom Of the city.
Plans for the great demonstration
and review at San Francisco are now
nearing completion.
