Ole Axvig on Railroads.

Kenmare Journal: Ole Axvig, the
statesman from Cavalier county, is
said to have petition out for his
candidacy for railroad commissioner.
Ole ought to have a pull with the rail-
roads through his speech several
years ago, when he was a member of
the legislature. The question of rail-
roads was being discussed, when Ole
said:
II don't want no id railroad COM

and l don't think no railroad man
wants me to tell him how to run his

The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1908-08-08

The interesting bit of news indicat-
ed by the above headlines was special
ly sent to the Detroit Journal, a Taft
organ, from Cincinnati last Wednesday.
The Journal dispatch says:
Somebody bungled in arranging the
Taft parade that was one of the feat
ures of the notification ceremonies here
Tuesday. The Taft managers were anx-
holding mass meetings and doing all IN
ious to Offset Foraker followers talk
of switching the Negro vote away from
Taft, because of the Roosevelt Browns
vile affair. In order to do this they
set out to have a large contingent of
Negro voters line up in the parade,
but they went about it too strong.
~Leuenants visited the wharves of
the city and engaged a mouey array OF
cotton pickers. There must have been
some attraction, for every Negro that
could make an excuse to leave his
work, or could get up enough ambition
to shake the lazy life on the wharf
marched in the Taft parade. As a re
suit nearly two-thirds of those in the
parade were Negroes.
Now Cincinnati citizens are in a crit
ical mood. They say the parade was
not representative, that not even the
best class of Negroes were in the par
ade, but that a large portion of it was
composed of riff-raff."
Between now and the election in No
vember, the present managers of The
COP. of false promises will become
fully convinced that the better and tn,
self-respecting class of Negroes will moi
vote for Mr.. Taft.-Editor.

THE NEGROES ARE FOR BRYAN.
W. E B. Dubois the Negro at the
head of the Atlanta University, de-
ciares for Bryan. He recognizes the
fact that neither party Is especially
friendly to the Negro, the one b
cause it has always felt sure OF get
ting his vote; the other because Il
couldn't get il, no matter how either
may treat them. He says: II between
the two parties who stand On identical
hcaIly the same platform you can pre-
fer the party who perpetrated the
Brownsville affair, wen and good, but

from Lincoln, Neb., conveyed the add

would find the same objection to al
most any Southern man, and expressed
a preference for a broadmnded North

A NOTABLE CONTRAST.

President Roosevelt, representing the
Republican Party, which at the approach
of a political campaign, tries to as
sumo the role of extreme friendliness
toward the Colored race, has appoint
ed as his Secretary of War General
Luke E. Wright, a lifelong Democrat,
an ex-Confederate soldier, and man
whose blind hostility to the Negro, TO
the extent of demanding his disfran-
chisement and civil humiliation, is
known of all men. Candidate Taft
lost no time in making it known that
in the event of his election he viii con-
tinue Mr.. Wright in the Office TO which
President Roosevelt has appointed HIN.
Mr.. w. ]. Bryan, representing the
Democratic Party, which is generally
supposed to represent the sum of all
hatred and injustice to the Colored
race. has boldly announced, OF, rather,
let it become known, that he looked
with great disfavor upon the appoint
ment to the Democratic National

James, of Kentucky, whom II IS known
that he was formerly very anxious for
obtaining for that position, because 1t
