EVERY VOTE A FACTOR.

In the coming election every
vote will count for much. The
Democrats will be hard to defeat,
and may not be defeated. There
are large numbers of erstwhile
orthodox colored Republicans who
have sworn allegiance to the men
on the Democratic ticket whose
records are good and who believe
in a just apportionment of the
"spoils" as well as good treat
ment to all.
A majority of the colored peo-
pie have always been with the Re-
publican party, but it will not pay
to remain neutral and expect for
them to support you solely because
you are affiliated with the 6. 0. P.
because we know whereof we
speak. They will not do it in the
coming election.
