Support the Nominees.

To begin with, the Republican
party is the negro party in Ameri-
can politics, and that fact cannot
be wiped out or brushed aside.
Therefore. the Democratic ticket
for President and Vice-President
must be supported and ought to be
elected.
The personality of William
Howard Taft may be and is MASTER
ful and attractive. but he is the
nominee Of the negroes and their
venal white managers in the South,
and his administration, if he is
elected, will be bound TO compro-
mise with and conciliate these
Southern elements, which would
mean its continued degrading of
the public service in every South
ern State.
Any Democratic nominee for
President, though he we're a
dreamer and fool. would stand
for decency and against deprayity
in governmental affairs, so far as
the South is concerned. MIR.
Bryan Is an honest man; there has
been no scandal in his life.
In the White House his de-
meanor would be respectful and
dignifed. As politicians 90, he is
a gentleman of exemplary moral
ity. However radical imprudent
he might be in the performance of
his magisterial duties, he would
recognize the South as a part of
this republic. and that Is more
than party limitations have per-
mitted any Republican President
to do. \ Republican President
cannot befriend the South without
betraying his party.
The News and Courier believes
that a symmetrical ticket of radi-
calism, designed to win, would
have been completed by the nomi-
nation of John Mitchell for Vice
/ President, rather than by the selec-
tion of the heretofore Unheard-ot
gentleman from Indiana-Charles-
ton News and Courier.
