Supposng this is true; what CT it?
During the long years Of republican
control of the government very few OF
the high officials have been selected
from the south. Most of them have

Now let us look at the other side o.
the picture. When the democrats
were in power, either a northern o;
western man has always been the
president and vice-president. The ma
jority Of the cabinet ministers have
been either northern or western men
and the other high appointive Offices
OF the government have been dis

1t is Improbable to discuss the
question, but the Tampa Tribune will
certainly not persist in the assertion
that the negro vote did not affect the
result on the prohibition amendment
There were more than three thousand
negroes qualified in Duval county
alone; there were many qualified in
Dade county. but the forces got chilled
pedals when they saw that watch
was going to be kept and prosecutions
were likely to follow the illegal use
of the ballot, and many were qualified
who didn't vote. The Tribune must
know that it was the purpose OF the
campaign managers to control the re
suit by qualifying the negroes. and the
majority by which the amendment
was defeated pretty nearly represent
ed the negro vote. The Tribune will
also observe that it is just as narrow
to deny the truth as it is to asser,
things that are not true. The Me
tropolis has maintained the position
that this question is one that should
