Preachers Declare G. D. P.

President Taft and his administration
were severely arraigned last night by the
colored clergy Of the city at meeting Of
the Independent League at True Re-
formers Hall
The brethren charged President Taft
with establishing the most pernicious
precedent that ever excited race hatred,
and with selling out the negro's rights for
a mess OF 'possum" They declared the
appointment OF negroes to high Federal
places was only a modest way of buying
them and keeping down agitation against
the Republicans g
The hall was crowded 70 the doors,
and as the men OF the pulpit assailed the

slant ''amens" When the meeting came

Rev. S. L. Corruthers was the first
speaker. and said that the Republicans
have been talking for forty years about

just before elections they go about tell
ing the black man that II he let's the
Democrats get into power they will wipe
him of the face OF the earth he stated
that for forty years the Democrats have
been in control OF the negro in the South
and that Republicans have not done one
thing 10 help the situation.
we are going 10 oppose President Taft

precedent that would have made Grover
Cleveland blush in shame.
"Mr. Taft took a trip through the
South and Toasted on 'possum and sold
out the negro's rights for hospitality"
