and tie employing public on the
other. afraid to employ Negroes be-
cause organized labor has placed ats

course? Denver is destined to be
one of the great cities OF the ma
ton. Her location on the top OF
the world" will ever render her
attractive to tourists. The natural
growth of the state and adjacent
country, together with our splendid
railroad connection, will soon de-
yelop us as one of the great com
mercial cities. Our splendid schools
and churches guarantee moral at
mosphere that makes for civic
Righteousness. The Negro will, IN
spite of prescription and race pref
udice, be part of this great de-
velopment. We are buying homes,
farms, and opening business houses
to live here and to enjoy these ben
efits. This being true, 1t becomes
our plain duty to lend the weight
of our influence to the side OF those
who have made Denver in the past,
and who are laboring zealously to
achieve this grand future. The
men who are doing this are not
those who go about roaring their
complaints so loud that the hum OF
business is drowned. We want our
people to understand that those
who get along in this world are they
who bear their burdens in silence,
striving each day to overcome the
errors of yesterday. In this lies
the hope of the success of a Greater
Denver in May. In knowledge OF
this lies the correct solution of our
duty as citizens. In doing our
duty we will vote for those who
have made our beautiful Denver

come within our gates.
