Elsewhere in this issue of The
Advocate appears the announcement
Of the candidacy Of Grant P. Hall
for the State Senate.
1t IS a matter Of general knowled-
&c that Mr.. Hall conducted the last
campaign in this county and it was
due largely to his efforts that the
ticket won out by such handsome
majorities, but there are few who
know that he was the first in the
history Of politics here to give the
Negro E>ters an opportunity to show
what they could do IN the way of
countrywide organization among
themselves, free from dictation and
supervision.
1t was at his suggestion and with
his active cooperation that the Re
publican Campaign Committee Of
kanawfa County s-ofga nized- The
Wisdom Of the move was evidenced
on election day when the Negro vot-
ers came TO the polls so thick and
fast that an arrangement had to be
entered into by which they voted al
'ernatoly with the whites at all pre-
c1nrts where they were in consider
ah'n numbers.
It is not to be presumed from the
aWvP that Mr.. Hall is simply po-
i1t1rian. He is just as shrcwd in
hn$'n""s and is a leading factor in
every movement looking to the finan-
cal advancement OF this section Of
| the State.
10 is a Republican Of the aggros-
SlV" type who would be eminnntly
useful TO his constituents in the up
| l'r house Of the Legislature.

MIR. DAVID DiIlI.

In asking for the support Of the
Republicans of the Eighth Senatorial
district. Mir, David Dick makes no
bones Of his preference for United
States Senator. He frankly states
that he is for Nathan b. Scott.
Mr.. Dick will lose nothing by his
frankness, quality which all men
admire. lie is equally outspoken as
TO tho course he will pursue as to
legislation in general. In matters
affecting parties only, he will stand
with the party he represents: but in
those things which have to do with
the public in general his personal
and political sentiments will be sub
ordmateG TO the public veal.
Mr.. Dick, too, as was said of the
other gentlemen whose announce
ments are commented upon in these
columns. is man of wide business
interests and we'll versed in public
affairs. In the event of his nomin-
alton he would most assuredIy make
successful fight against his Demo-
cratic opponent.

THE BEE ON RALLINGER.

The Washington Bee says Sec
rotary Ballinger entered President
Iafts cabinet with an unblemish-
ed character and reputation, and
that the investigation thus far shows
that the secretary is a victim of
malice and a conspiracy Of the most
outrageous character. Back I'D,
brother, back up!
The secretary has entered a gen
eral denial but has failed thus far
to produce proof in rebuttal of the
charges made against him by Col
liers as to certain shady transact
tons in the south and on the coast.
He has talked about libel suits, but
is little slow about entering them.
Until he does SO and the case is de-
cided, it would be the part of wis
dom to reserve Judgment. Both
horns and wings might be reserved
till one is sure which are needed.

WHEN \ NEGRO IS NOT \ NEGRO

In holding that the laws directed
toward the separation Of the races
do not apply to NuadroOns and octo-
rooms. the Louisiana Supreme Court
hands down decision far-reaching
IN It's consequences, a decision which
VIII doubtless nullify the old misce-
Sonallon laws Of undisputed benefit
to the Negro citizens Of that State.
Inc cas-" came up from a circuit
Judge who had decided that-the anti
concubina2c law passed at the last
session Of The legislature was I'M
constitutional. He held that a per
son of mixed white and Negro blood
was not Negro. The facts in the
case were that Octave Thrcadwav =
white man, and Josephine Li2hthill
an OctOr0On, had lived together as
man and wife, but were prohibited
from marrying by law. The district
attorney began proceedings against
them, and they hcd TO New Orleans

AN ENEMY no HIS STATE.

| Ordinarily the Nashville Globe IS
SAT" and sane in its comments on
current events, but when it under
| takes no champion the cause Of Gov
Icrnor Patterson and to set him up
as deserving third term, really it
seems to overstep the bounds Of
right thinking.
mo better man has ever served
the state, and why change?", asks
the Globe. Hoot mon. Do you
really mean what you sayo If you
do, get down on your knees and
gratefully thank your Father which
art in heaven, that He has not af-
flictcd your state with larger num-
Der of lynchings. murders and
assassinations. NO better man
has ever served the State. Sure
ly the other governors Of the State
lid not use thor mower Of nardon
has Governor Patterson? Do you
in the face of his recent exhibition
of clemency, rconscientiously think
Mr.. Patterson should be reelected?
Does not his utter disregard for the
law. as shown by his indecent haste
in pardOning a political friend held
guilty by the Supreme Court Of be-
ing an accessory to the murder of
one Of Patterson's political enemies.
give YOU pause?
The weak cannot afford to uphold
the strong in their lawlessness.
The Negro can not applaud the
white man who participates in or
cnnnives at the taking of human life.
Our friends in Tennessee should re-
member the Shipp case. They should
not so easily forget how the Chat
tanooga sheriff closed his ears
against the cries Of the Negro John
son. and how. his fellow townsmen
met him with brass band when he
returned to his home after having
served the all too lenient sentence
imposed upon him by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Governor Patterson is of the same
class as Sheriff Shipp. The num-
Der Of pardons he has issued to
white murderers of white men shows
that he holds the life Of white men
in low estimate. At what valua-
ton then must he hold a Negro?
The Globe has evidently not consid-
cred that phase of the question.

pointing powers at Washington are
given an excellent opportunity to
ABhow both whether Mr.. Cyrus Field
Adams has a life tenure on that lob
and also whether twelve thousand
loyal Republican voters deserve rec
ognition
This is not the first shot West
virginia has taken at the plum tree
since Mr.. Taft entered the White
House. For the position of Record
er of Deeds we sent down the names
OF two very worthy gentlemen, one
too many perhaps, but. too many or
- TOO few, we we're not strong enough
to buck against Mr.. Henry Lincoln
Johnson, who delivered Georgia S
Negro delegates to Mr.. Hitchcock at
Chicago, Col Judson Lyons to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
If the delivery of 4 dozen or so
votes at a convention is worth the
Recordership Of Deeds for the Dis
tr1ct of Columbia. the optimists
among us are arguing that twelve
thousand votes at the polls deserve
the position TO which Mr.. Waters as
pires. Then too We contend that
West Virginia is rightfully due
something in the way OF Federal
patronage. In the state proper not
single Negro holds a Federal DO
sluon-not job. mind you-outside

there are now about eight carri-

New York and New Jersey. among
the doubtful states, and all the
southern states. sure Democratic,
have had not only their shouts but
their feet in the trough.

can command the action Of the Pres

points our man, We will enter with
