aTt the Roosevelt plan of Recall should be
adopted." this Interesting document begins "then
an questions relatimg to the Acknowledgement of
voters after being decided By the Supreme Court,
could be submitted to the eoters Of the tohole
country and this country is made up By very
large majority of Republican voters. 1t
soould be a Godsend to the doa0n-trodden Negro
in the Southern states. This very scheme Of Re
cali is 40hat the colored Uoters in the South are
Sruyin0 for They knotO that If this dtsfrdn-
chisement question could be submitted to the
,ohole country il sooud settle forever the schemes
to take their Uotes from them and they could
vote atteruoards ,0ithout the fear Of ever losing
that right This idea of Recall ao1Iich Mr.. ROose-
cen is fighting for is an idea that 10tH a1'oOys be
remembered by the colored voter as merit to the
Emancipation Proclamation Of Abraham Lincoln,
and should make Roosevelt as famous as Lincoln
as friend of the colored UOter."
Marvellous consistency of the Third-Termer's cam
paign!
The Democrats of Georgia are asked to vote for
him On the pretense that he is going to run his new
party without negro aid.
And at the same time, the negroes of Maryland
are implored to vote for him the ground that he
win wipe out the south's disfrahchisement laws, if
he is placed in power.
In short. black is white and white is black &C
cordng to the momentary or local needs Of the Roos
Welt campaign.
The South win be deeply interested to learn of
this latest and hitherto closed purpose of the Third
party program.
We are really indebted to the Roosevelt committee
in Maryland for having come out patty with this
plan to destroy our protective suffrage laws.
Georgians have long been familiar with Mr..
Roosevets offensive record on negro appointments
in the South, they knew long ago how he had dined
Booker washington at the White House and last
summer they learned how he stood before a great
public gathering and with his about two negro
politicians from the North, proclaimed them 'the
equal of every white man within the sound of his
voice" But enone of these incidents can compare
with the latest revelation from which we learn of
the scheme to strike down those vital measures
which safeguard our Southern communities against
the corrupt negro vote
Verify it would be "a day Of wrath" for the South,
should Mr. Roosevelt become President and carry
out the promise of his Maryland committee.

ROOSEVELT,S BID
FOR NEGRO VOTES

From the outset of the Third Party's campaign,
it has been apparent that while Mr. Roosevelt pre-
tended to bid exclusively for white votes in the
South he was at the same time seeking to fraternize
with the negroes in the North and was bending all
his political shrewdness to win their support.
Not until recently, however, has the limit and
full purport of this twofaced game become evident;
and, Interestingly enough, it remained for Maryland
Southern State disclose this rickery in its most
audacious form
In that good commonwealth which is loyal to the
Souths best interests and traditions, the Roosevelt
Committee has scattered broadcast among the ne
groes circular which is headed:

MANAGING A NATIONAL CAM
PAIGN

Interest has been keen among the
politicians as to the choice for the
chairmanships of the national cam
paign Committee. Success or failure
in command of our political armies
is the making or breaking of a man
and few tasks of American life cal
for better executive head.
The game is so different now, that
the older heads are bewildered. In.
stead of spellbinders Grating to sleepy
audiences at every county fair, there
is the precision of a we'll organized
machine, moving noiselessly with its
battalons of typewriters, literature
distributors, and card index men.
The scare which the Taft men got
in September 1908, illustrates how
the old methods of campaigning have
changed Letters poured in on Roose-
welt and Taft announcing Chairman
Hitchcock for his incapacity. 1t used
to be customary to put an army of
speakers on the road early in Septem.
Der. September of 1908 passed before
Hitchcock's far reaching machine had
showed up above ground. The old
timers could not understand it. Ac-
tually though, an enormous amount
Oh work had been done
The modern campaign cannot make
the free use of orators formerly seen
They come high, they speak mostly
to audiences of their own followers
Since corporation contributors were
cut off, the funds to pay them are
largely missed.
Nothing accomplishes larger re-
suits than personal work done hand
to hand among the voters. The first
and most important business of a
campaign manager is to see that his
state chairman keep their county
chairmen up to the work, and that the
latter maintain a system of precinct
workers who shall go through every
village with a fine tooth comb.
vast host of political hangers on
clings to every party organization, in
hopes of sometime being handy when
the plum tree is shaken, but who are
averse to doing real work. They meet
of an evening around the grocery
stove, 20 over the check list, and
make an estimate of how every man
will vote. But getting out and talking
to all doubtful voters is another
thing. Often unsuccessful in their
own business, they are not apt to con
duct a political canvass with efficien-
cy.
1t is in the filling up the minute
holes in this drag-net of workers that
the political manager shows his ca
pacity for leadership. Speakers dates
can be arranged by the stenographer.

from all the rest of the world.
All this is god newspaper work
and sells papers, though one ques-
tons if the editors do well to give
as little space as they do to the many
simple resorts patronized by the mil
lion rather than by the millionaire.
The funny thing about it is that
this summer resort news is so very
like the cross roads reporting in the
country weekly, witch the Smart
Alexis of the metropolitan press dress
up so cutely under the style of tbs
"Bungtown Batter"
1t is very amusing thing when the
country weekly reports in all serious
ness that Reuben Corntassel has paint
ed his barn. Yete the same newspa
per that makes fun of it viii give a
column with cuts 10 the milionaires
new 100000 country house. And the
aforesaid country house probably rep
resents no larger proportion of the
millionaire's capital, than the proper
ton OF Reuben's little nest egg that
was required Tor the aforesaid adorn.
ing OF his farm buildings.
There is a sincerity, "a reality, and
an industry reflected by the effusions
of the country correspondent, that is
absent from the fashionable summer
resort news. When you consider how
hard Uncle Reuben had to struggle to
gain the funds for the above named
job of decoration, it really becomes
Sociological Fact OF some import. 1t
typifies the spirit OF enterprise, tends
to show that there are powerful forces
battling against rural decadence.
Running farther down the column,
one reads how the rain has helped
the potato crop, now Uncle Eb Smith
mas built a new poultry house, all re-
hecting the useful and tolsome lives
that are serving their fellow men byI

industry
Turning to the summer resort news,
nothing is seen about anything so dull
and homely as crops. Teas, bridge
parties, golf and tennis tournaments,
yachting and coaching parties, verify
the wine and froth of life, good in so
far as it is wnofesome recreation, fu,
tile in so far at it is the customary
occupation of idle lives.
Wherefore, when the country CORE
spondent, in her faded and pathetic
black bombazine, hears her simple |
and sincere village items derided, let
her reflect that human nature is just
the same in Newport as in Lonesome.
hurst 1t is OF vastly more significance,
that Uncle Reuben has painted his
barn than that Mrs. Vanderbilt has
given a heart party! For the first
was a creative act the second was
non-productive.
