BROWNSVILLE MATTER.


Taft says, speaking OF me:
He has enlarged upon and magni-
fled an unimportant and incidental
matter to embarrass the administra-
ton, using in this without scruple
blind race prejudice to accomplish ms
main purpose
II have no way of proving wha t was
in my mind except byareferring to the;
record, Any one who reads that will
fail to find a sentence or word to
Justify any such statement as Mr.. Taft
makes. s
IN view of Judge Taft's statement
I trust I may be allowed 20 repeat
what have saba number of times,
that in this whole matter had no re.
Eenges to seek or special end to serve,
but Was anxious to see that common
iustics was done to the representative
to a noble and loyal race, everyone of
whom is by nature Republican. The
colored voters are known to be more
or less {displeased with the action Of the
Republican party in not passing some
relief measure for those soldiers, and
many of them have signified purpose
to vote against Judge Taft because of
his official relation to the matter. Much
work has been done to overcome this
trouble and to induce the colored Re-
publican voters of the country to stand
by the party with which they have all
ways affiliated. And now comes tho
4
letter containing his unfortunate refer
sence to this subordinate case.
Il CoLoRED RACES GRIEVANCE.
s5 What does he mean? Does he im-
agine that the president is unable to
see that hesis rubbing a sore when he
should have brought a plaster? Does
he imagine, or can anybody suppose
that the Republican colored voters of
this country can be brought 10 the
support of Judge Taft by parading In
these closing days of the campaign
Judge Taft,s belittling OF their chief
grievance by mentioning it as an in
$cidental matter. which has been en-
larged upon and n1agnified, using in
y this without scrupie a bad race preju-
dice and then adding the charge that,
tall this is done only to embarrass tile
administration of President Roosevelt?
Can 1t be possible that the president
wants to defeat Judge Tafta That can
not be and yet he could hardly do any
other one thing better calculated to
lose him votes, for no seIfrespecting
negro reading what Judge Taft says in
this letter and adding it TO all that has
gone before; can vote for him without
feeling that he is making a greater sac
lriiice than most men, WlSite or black,
are willing to make. In any event, the
presidents action and comments are a.
wrong toward the Republican party for
they amount to a charge against the
party at "a critical hour of the cam
Spaigns of my unworthy PURPOSE IL. con

ored man who has any pride Of race
holds of highest Waite and In deepest
appreciation. What Judge Taft says Iii
