Washington, August %, 1911

I E : : :"
Reports from all parts of the coun-
| try indicate that President Taft Will
be renominated. OF course the Afro
Americans will not figure to any great
extent in the nominating convention
when it is held in June 1912, but
they'll have hand in the election
It is said that a non office holding
Afro American will be put in charge
and vigorous campaign waged. If
this is done and the right man Sc
lected, and the matter properly man
aged, the few recaicitrants of the race
may be brought back into the party
fold. The great majority of the think
ing men OF the race are already in
line and there is no doubt that Presi-
dent Taft will get the support of the
race in the election next year.

was the destruction of the Maine

ed statement in a circular issued
broadcast today by officials Of G.

and practically all other officials.
The circulars were occasioned by
the use of the word belligerent
by an American newspaper pub

and describing rebels as well as
federals which the federals evil
IDENTIFY think is too dlgnlhed a
term to be used when applied to
rebels.
Circulars say that even Yankee
scenterS who described the battle
could not find cause to use the
term bclligerent. The circulars
also referred to the destruction
of the Maine as mere trifie.
Copies Of the circulars have been
sent to the department Of state
