expressing Its will through represen-
tatives Of the people pledges itself to
secure such alterations In the funda-
mental law of the several states and

the representative character Of the
government.
In particular this party declares for
direct primaries for the nomination
of state and national officers, for ma
tion-wide preferential primaries for
candidates for the presidency, for the
direct election of United States sena-
tors by the people; and we urge on
the states the policy of the short bal
lot with responsibility to the people
and recall.
This Is the plank in the platform
secured by the initiative, referendum
condeming States Rights, and the re-
vival of the Civil Rights Bill, which

Suppose that many Of the Negroes

vote fail to do so, and railroad en-

vote. But advice is futile. We beg
for rights, and fight for privileges,

accorded them. Negro men, your bal

attacks being made upon the ex-presi-

Standard had made no contributions.
Mr.. Loeb also says that instead Of

house interview, urged the president
to cause National Chairman Cortel-
you to give financial help to the New
York state committee in order to save

sELF-REsPEcTING MEN WILL RE.
SENT INSULT.


or course, few preachers and pol
itical bishops and other mercenary
professionals, who are out for a
tainted dollar, will boot-lick and fol-
low him, but the manly men, the self
respecting men, the manhood of the
race, will resent the Colonel's in
situation and insult, and will vote the
Democratic ticket before they will
support Theodore Roosevelt.-The
Atlanta Independent, Atlanta, Ga.
The above is clipped from the Taft
Campaign Negro Literature, and it
shows that the Editor of the indie
pendent has no hopes for the Repub-
lican machine, and advises Negroes,
or says that they will vote the Dem
ocrat ticket to resent insults and In
situations from Roosevelt. This is
very, very, very thin. Are insinua-
tons and insults equal to Dem
ocratic Legislation, Southern Lawless-
ness and Discrimination? Brother
Davis believes that what a man says
harms more than what he does.
Many Negroes who are opposed to
Roosevelt will vote for Debs rather
than Taft or Wilson. But just that
class of preachers, and professionals
will vote the Democratic ticket, or
any ticket, also that class of delegates
to the Republican Convention who
were bought by Taft, will place the
Negro in bad with any party.
Negro Editors should at least give
Roosevelt credit for not saying many
things about their love of lucre that
could be said. Yet they compare him
with Tillman, Heflin and Vardaman
just because they are paid with Taft
money. There is not Negro sup
porting Pres. Taft, unless he Is play
ing commercial politics, and these
axegrinders, and sruhEstake race
leaders have recently found no good
in Roosevelt or the Progressive Party.
Roosevelt followers will watch the
action of Senator Nelson as to his at
titude to the Progressive Party and
it's leader.
Wallace G. Nye has always been a
true friend Of the Negroes. He is
candidate for Mayor and e. J. West
lake Is out to 60 to the legislature.
Keep your eye on Nye and Westlake.
There Is not a man who can say that
they did not always do the little
things that were requested from them
at all times and a recommendation
from either has given good positions
to many Negroes. Remember your
friends when they need you.
w. A. Kelley of the Southern Thea
ire is a candidate for alderman OF
9Th Ward. This Is where your vote
counts. His treatment of our people
at the Southern has made him friends,
and the Negro vote will elect him.
Remember to Register, or you can't
vote.
