What | Saw And Heard

1 am surprised to see so little in
terest taken in the local delegate con-
test. The political vagrants can be
seen in and around the District
Building. When the vagrancy bill
passes, no doubt a few OF the tramps
will go to work.
The clubs that were organized
some time ago have gone to pieces.
In Deanwood these local politicians
have disbanded their clubs and no in
terest whatever is being taken in the
contest.
General Burt seems to be holding
his own There will be a great deal
of scratching.
The Administration is not at all
interested in the local contest. 1t is
immaterial whether the two delegates

MISSOURI AGAINST WARNER

SECRETARY at.
MISSOURI AGAINST WARNER.
Kansas City, Mo, April II.
To the Editor of The Bee:
My dear Sir
I see from the press dispatches
that Major William Warner, United
States Senator from Missouri, will
attempt to reply to the speech and
stand taken by that matchless and
one Of Americas greatest citizens,
soldiers and statesmen,t the Hon. J. B.
Foraker of Ohio, on the Brownsville
affray.
1t is unfortunate, for two reasons.
that Senator Warner should make
the attempt and take the course he
has on the Brownsville affray.
Ist. He cannot reply to the speech
and refute the array of facts as set
forth by Ohio's greatest citizen, and
there are but few living Americans
who have the ability and the cour-
age of their convictions to stand be-
fore and in the face of the American
prejudice and defended the black he
roes, who were robbed of their con-
stitutional rights by the President of
the United States.
end. The colored voters ought to
let it be known all the way down
the line that William Taft, if elected
president, will endorse the course of
the Roosevelt Administration with
reference to the Brownsville out
rage.
1t would be far better for the Am
erican Negro that the Republican
party so down in defeat in Novem-
Der, 1908, than that one of our enc
mics should be again elected presi-
dent of the United States from the
rank and file of the party which we
have been breathing the bearth OF
life into for the past forty years.
was an elector at large for the
State of Kansas, and one of the only
two Negroes in the United States who
voted for Roosevelt in the electoral
College.
l am for any man in preference to
Taft who is before the American
people.
I would prefer the leader of the
Democratic party to Taft. Grover
Cleveland was fair with us. Roose-
welt has robbed us and made it i'm
possible for a Negro boy to be a sol
der.
If the party that l have been asso-
ciated with for forty years lose their
heads and nominate the old Secretary
of War for president he will be de-
feated as sure as the sun rises and
sets on that day in November when
the American people are called to
the ballot box to select the next pres
ident.
contend that if the amended Con-
stitution means anything that we are
citizens that our citizenship de-
mand at the hand of the Chief Exec
utive of the nation the same treatment
as such as is meted out to all other
citizens.
We appreciate the stand that The
Bee has taken in the fight for human
rights.
I am your respectfully,
George T. Wassorn.
Postscript. - But for the Negro vote
Senator William Warner nor the Re
publican party could not have car
ried the State of Missouri two years
ago, and the course that the Senator
has taken in the Senate with refer
ence to the Brownsville affray, Mis-
souri, will again be placed back in the
Democratic column at the election in
November, 1908, by at least thirty
thousand majority.
God bless you for the right,
George T. Wassom.

not pledged to silence, expressed re-
