BITTER CAMPAIGN" ."

This is the caption of an article
that appeared in the last edition o.
the Tines last Tuesday afternoon
in which the writer, Judson {
Williver, states that the contest fol
delegates in this city to the next
Republican National Convention
will be a bitter one. Because Mr.
Pinchot was dismissed from the
government service by Mr.. Taft
is there anv reason that the Negro
should join his forces to satisfy his
selfish ambition? The Editor OF
The Bee was not aware that either
Mr.. Bradshaw or himself were can
didates Of a machine. Is not Pin
Chot and other dissatisfied and dis
gruntled prOgressives angry be
cause they were either kicked out
of office or making efforts to get
in? Would PinChOt have made a
fight on the administration had he
been retained i'll office? Is it not
always outs trying to get in? And
why should not the ins do all in
their power to keeprin. So far as
Mr.. Bieber is concerned, The Bee
has always maintained that he
should have been continued as col
lector of Georgetown. Tie at
tack on him by the late Senator
Carter was unjustifabble and un5
true, as the investigation showed.
Why should he be bounded to
death by political parasites. The
Bee knows this much; that the
writer in the Times knows nothing
about the campaign of 1908 in
which Messrs. Horner and Father
played prominent parts. upon
which Welliver lays so much stress.
Mr.. Pinchot, with his barrels, will
have no walkover.

TAFT AND THE NOMINA-
TION.

1t IS quite apparent that the
manufactured opposition against
the denomination of President
Taft is passing away. There never
was any occasion or reason for Op-
position to his denomination, for,
judged by his record, no president
was ever more deserving of the
confidence Of the public than Mr..
Taft. We cannot fathom the un-
gratefulness of Negroes who are
or will oppose him. No President
has done more to help along the
cause of education for the race than
he has done, and no President has
given us as high, or more recogni-
ton in a political way. 1t might
be stated now, and stated plainly,
that such cOlored men who expect
to nurse a fanciful grievance
against Mr.. Taft as an asset upon
which to realize cash will be dis
appointed. And it might be stated,
and stated plainly that colored men
who will oppose the denomination
of Mr.. Taft, either by voice or deed
are unfit to be respected by the
rest Of the race. The man who
will oppose him or those who have
helped him is an migrate who de-
serves to be despised. President
Taft has really helped the race,
has really proven himself a friend
to the race, and as a friend he de-
serves, and ought to have, Our uni
ted support. We Go not antici-
pate any opposition on the part of
colored men, to the denomination
and election of President Taft, eX-
cept from such colored men upon
whom rests the stigma of grating.
And to the credit Of the race it can
be said that the number of Negroes
who desire to graft is very small,
so small that we know them all.

holds and the households of our

thing if all Negroes, on New Years 5
dav, would resolve to fight for one
and all OF their race, rather than
fight against some or any Of their
race. And it would be a far better
thing if such a resolve made were
kept, until the end of the coming
vear-kept until its keeping became
a part OF our nature. The future
OF the race is not unrestricted-it
is restricted by prejudices and anti
race feeling and sentiments which
makes it incumbent upon each and
every Negro, great and small, to
put aside all jealousieS; to subordi-
nate all selishness to generousness,
and to help one another, rather
than to hamper one another. Just

to all its readers the wish for a

PRIMARY LAW.

Senator Bristow, OF Kansas, and
Congressman OIdheld, of Arkansas,
are having Mysteries to pass an
election law for the District of Co.
lumbia. They are so afraid that
President Taft will receive the Dis
trict delegates to the Chicago con
vention that they are deserting ev-
cry other important proposition be-
fore Congress to cheClunate Presi-
dent Taft. The Bee would respect
fully call to the attention of these
two law makers that there are over
half a million of colored voters in
the Southern States disiranchised
and not permitted to exercise the
rights of citizenship. Is not the
election of Democrats from those
States elected by fraud, and are
not the elections IN those States
worse than iokes?" as the distin-
guished Senator from Kansas has
characterized the District election?
Why don't both of these gnetle-
men see to it that a law IS passed
to protect the COlOred voters IN
the South and other States where
the Democratic party is in power? /?
The argument Of these two law
makers is a sham as well as a joke.
The Republican voters of the Dis
trict of Columbia don't mean to be
controlled by this sham aristocracy
and men too nice to come out to
vote when they are asked and when
an opportunity is accorded them.
The Bee begs leave to inform Mr..
Bristow and Mr.. Oldheld that ev-
cry citizen in this city is permitted
to vote, and no one IS shot or
bound at the stake for exercising
the rights of citizenship, either.
1t would be in better taste for these
two gentlemen to see to it that the.
18th, I4th and 18th amendments to
the Constitution are enforced in-I
stead OF wasting their time and am
munition upon two Republican
delegates and National Commit
teeman. The people of Kansas
and Arkansas sent these two gen.
tlemen to Congress for more im-I
portant business. The people who
are in the States of these two dis
tinguished men will see to it next
time that both Mr., Bristow and
Mr.. Oldheld be retired from pub
lie life, and men Of broader ideas
be elected in their stead. Just think |
OF it. Two men representing
two Of the most important States !
in the Union interfering with two
local delegates in the District Of |
Columbia. harmless as two turtle |
doves, while over a half million Of |
Negroes are disfranchised and not
permitted to vote, and these two !
men give encouragement to It by
their votes.
Go west. Young men. and stay
there. 1t makes no difference how
many election laws are passed for
the District of Columbia, the two
delegates from this place will be
for MIR. Taft. Messrs. BristOW and
Oldheld to the contrary notwith-
standing.
