The campaign book quotes extracts
from the speeches of acceptance Of
Taft and Sherman to show that they
stand squarely on the equal justice
plank" and in discussing the atti-
tude of the Republican party toward
the Negro the campaign managers
say:
"Prior TO the advent of Abraham
Lincoln and the Republican party
about 100000 Afro-Americans were
held in bondage in the Southern
States, then, as now, controlled by
the Democrats, and when the Repub-
lican party elected Lincoln President,
thus setting the stamp of disappTOYal
upon the Democratic desires, these
Democratic Southern States seeded
from the Union and attempted to set
up Confederacy, with human slavery
as the chief cornerstone.
"The Republican party determined
that the COnfederacy should be { =
stroyed; that the Union shouli ,e
preserved; and true to its princI PES
and in keeping with his own declara-
tons, the Great Emancipator struck
the shackles from the limbs of the
bondmen. Following the freedom of
the slaves came their enlistment in
the army and navy, and by this act
the names of 100000 Afro-Americans
were added to the honor roll. The
leaders of the Republican party, feel
ing that their work was far from
completion, framed and passed the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
,apdp,au+c ond the States ratified
their action, thus making slavery i'm
possible and confirming the civil and
political rights of the Afro-American
people.
: Clothed by the Republican party
with the right to vote, is it surprising
that these newly made citizens voted
with the party which had taken them
from their former position as mere
chattels and made them citizens oI
the republic?"
