copies printed and scattered In the
niger districts, and in those districts
where they thought the white voters
were the easiest 10 mis.ead.
They know they are the most infa-
nous fa.sehools that were ever tod 10 |
a decent public, and for those men
who are yet 50 skepJical Is to believe
these lies, wish to state that will
give my entire time for the next II
months as the servant OF any man
who can prove that the proposed sui
frage amendment viii disfranchise
anyone except the illiterate negro.
Every man who knows anything, |
knows that the negroes can complete |
~ control seven o. the riches; coun-
ties in Oklahoma Il they had sense
enough TO get their names on the bal
lots. and would vote Tor one anotler,
every one knows there are at the pres
ent time IS negro officials in Musko-
gee county, % in Wagner County,
and IS in Okfuskee county, and that
several Of the other leading counties
Of northeast Oklahoma have a number
Of negro officials
Logan county has one negro county
commissioner and one negro member
Of the legislature, while Wagner
county has two negro county commits
sioners with one Of the negroes as
chairman of that board.
Only few days ago five NEGROES
were eected as directors Of five white
schools in Wagner county.
The white people OF northeast Ok
lahoma. republicans, socialists and
democrats have LETT their shops, fields
and homes and have gone to the dis
tricts outside the negro belt, and are
/ Pleading for the passage of this pro
/ posed amendment.
These men are not pleading for po-
/ .itical reason either my friends, they
are pleading for white supremacy and
protection for their homes.
But few days ago a socialist told
me this after | had related to him
the race condition in north Oklahoma
He says. "Why don't the white peO-
pie move out? Why I'd move out ue-
fore I'd be arrested by a negro officer
or tried before negro justice Of the
pecae.'
Does that sound like the language
OF a Caucasian, or what does it sound
like?
The federal government has said to
an enlightened race-the Chinaman-'
YOU must stay out, you are unfit to be
come an American citizen. Still there
are men who claim 20 be loyal Okla
homans who are fighting this proposed
amendment. and some who are adyer-
tising for thousands more of class
every other southern state has refused
II
no idea of morals, or Of progressive
ness: in fact, race 1hat has swept
away civilization and morality in
every land where they have ever be
cone strong enough in numbers 10
oyer.power the Caucasian
Remember Haiti and San Domingo
that was once the most beautiful land
in all the world The white man had
made her boom in all her CORY, but
the Ethiopian in a revolution over
powered them and today she is land
OF thistles and thons.
appeal to all fair-minded men to
assist us in passing this amendment
thereby shutting out the black man
from our state. and dis-francnislns
those who are already here, so that
they may not dominate any one scioo
, district Of this great state.
appeal to you in behalf of our
white brothers in northern Oklahoma
and in behalf of Southern woman
hood
Go to the polls on next Tuesday
and leave your ballot so as to READ
For the Amendment
Yours for white supremacE
