Our Letter Box

| The Statesman:
At a conference of colored voters
held in Colorado Springs March 11th
1912, it was deemed expedient to form
what shall be known as the State
League of colored Republican voters.
The Importance of the approaching
campaign is apparent to all and to nc
class of citizens will more depend
than upon the Negro. The time for
general political activity is near at
hand and the Negro voter of the state
should plan to assume an aggressive,
positive policy, rather than be content
with a negative part as has too often
been the case in years gone by. True,
we have received a little considera-
ton by occasional appointments here
and there, but no fair minded man of
any race or political faith will agree
that it has been proportionate to our
voting strength, nor at all in fair
compensation for our loyalty to the
Republican party. 1t is no exaggera-
ton to state that fully three-fourths
of the Negro voters of Colorado re-
main consistently loyal to the Repub-
lican party, in season and out. 1t may
be further safely urged that no other
class of voters in the state can show
such a large percentage of their mum
bers adhering to the principles of the
party as can the Negro. That this alb
normally large percentage can be ma
terially added to by a display of the
sense of fair treatment and honorable
reward accorded to other races who
identify themselves with the Repub-
lican party. 1t is not sufficient that
we alone know our own voting
strength. 1t is important that we also
impress the other fellow with it. BY
unifor msystem in organization We
may take a Ion gstep toward rectify-
ing many of the ills of which we com
plain.
The Republican party managers
confidently hope for victory in the ap-
preaching campaign, and that hope
must to a degree be based upon the
loyalty of the colored voters. BY unit
ed effort we should do our utmost to
secure party success both in the
state and nation. But in doing SO let
us not overlook our rightful due. Let
us display the manhood and courage
to ask for equitable recognition and
make our request more effective by
showing the solidity of our support.
MS state League SnOulu De al tl-
fective means to a definite and sub
stantial end We desire to join hands
with local clubs in every town and
city in the state.
Speaking for myself as president of
the State League, ! desire to state
that it is my sincere desire to act
fairly and absolutely impartially
shall not ask and do not want any
promises from any candidate or party
worker whatsoever that cannot be
made with equal frankness and earn
estness to any member of our race.
Our demands for rightful recognition
should extend beyond those places
now designated as Negro jobs. To
use our labors merely to fight each
other over places now held by Ne
groes is, to say the least, harmful, if
not reprehensible. Let us hold all we
have got and battle for more. Let
the manhood and womanhood OF our
race be more assertive in this cam
paign than ever before.
shall be glad to receive sugges-
tions at any time and from any one.
Respectfully yours,
GEO. w. GROSS,
Pres. State League.

Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-06-01

The city of Denver in all depart
ments and including all officers is now
under control of the Citizens party.
While The Statesman was in opposi-
ton to that party, in common with all
citizens, we wish the government to
be of the best, and since they have
won and are, the preference of the
majority, we hope that they will come
up to the high hopes of their support
ers have entertained. 1t matters not
what predictions of good or evil have
been made, Mayor Arnold and his ad-
ministration, have their chance to
make good ,and it is common sense
to wait and see what they do
We are especially desirous of see
ing what showing they will make un-
der the present form of the city gov
ernment We have always insisted
that the imperfections of Speer De-
mocracy should not be used to prove
the utter failure of present laws. Good
men may be able to make of the
mayor" form as good machinery of
government as the commission"
form. We believe they can do SO
more easily Mr.. Arnold, while COM
mitted to the commission form, will
doubtlss continue to be mayor for
many months. We hope he will do
so, well in that time that the demand
for commission government will die
out.

genial manager, Frank Burnley has
gotten back his good health.

The Pearl Barber Shop, located at
929 Twenty-first street, is one of the
most complete and up-to-date ton
serial parlors in the West. The pro-
prietor, Harry Jones, needs no recon-
mendation to the public. His years
of service in this line of work speak
louder than anything We might say in
his behalf. Everything sanitary Call
and give us a trial.
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-06-01

Ever since the Cuban government
has been organized, and since the
United States troops were withdrawn,
there have been race difficulties. 1t
will be remembered that Maceo and
the blacks were some of the most
active and resolute rebels against
Spanish rule and the most effective
allies of the United States in securing
Cuban freedom. However, when it
came to the election of the officials,
American interests and race preju-
dice reduced the blacks to an inferior
position. This they resented. And
now they are in revolt. While we do
not now the specific occasion of their
rebellion, nor the justice of their
cause, we are human enough to be
interested in them and to desire that
they be given fair treatment. 1t does
not follow that they are wrong be-
cause they are black nor because they
are in an inferior position. If Amer
ican control of Cuba is to mean to
the Cuban Negro what has happened
to the American Negro in the South,
it is no improvement of his condition
that Spanish rule is gone. In neither
case is he a citizen with opportunity
to say what the law shall be or how
it shall be enforced. The dark cloud
of race hate is spreading and our
hope is the good sense of the world
will destroy it like it did slavery

In the Crisis Magazine the COL !

readers Is Mayor Brand Whit :

especial significance to the May :

and brings before the public the
great work Of the Negro church.
On the cover Is a picture of
the Baptist institutional church
of Jacksonville, Fla. founded by
DR.. j. Milton Waldron. now Of
Washington. There S care
fully written article on the pres

This has been written by four

great deal OF comment Anoth-
