MR.. JACKSON WRITES.
Denver, Colo, Oct. II, 1910.

Denver, COlO., OCT. II, 19lU.
To the Editor of The Statesman:
Dear Sir: From the editorials of
all the negro newspapers published
in Colorado last issue it seems that
the editors and contributors are all
at sea on the political situation, and
are casting about to find some issue
to base their campaign argument upon
to bring forth the barrel or to find
out just who has been permitted to
know where the barrel can be reach
ed. One able editor makes the broad
statement that the negro has no issue
in this campaign and we're | to dis
cuss politics in my paper from the
negro's standpoint | would not know
where to begin. If that is the situa-
tion of all the negro journals in the
state now would be a good time for
republican of The Beast in the Ne
gro's Jungle, as in those articles there
are plenty of issues to be discussed
pertaining to the negro's interest in
this campaign. From the way that
some of the editors are astride the
fence it can be easily seen that they
are onl ywaiting to see on which side
the procession will pass that is head
ed with the barrel, and on that side
the issue will begin red hot rattlety
bang boom for the negroes issue and
interest in this most historical cam
paign Of Colorado, where negroes con-
troll 10000 votes and have no issue.
Can you not see the beast at the en-
trance of the Jungle swapping his
teeth, prancing up and down, just
waiting for his prey (the one who
is next You had just as well retire
boys if it is the barrel you are wait
ing for as there will be no issue from
yC-I point of view. Senator Gugie has
flown with his barrel and Senator
Hughes is awfully sick in Honolulu
and this campaign will be fought out
on the records of the candidates and
not from the barrel. This will be
strictly a campaign of education.
drawn from facts and figures of pres
ent and past administrations. If you
have no facts or figures to present
concerning the negro's interest in pol
itics of course there is no negro issue
in this campaign.
The barrel has flown.
Yours truly,
