son why Taft should not be nominated

reads. in part. as follows:
THE negro under the present con-
ditions in this country has no chance
and the object OF the warfare which we
are now carrying on is to secure for him
the civic rights to which he. in common
with other Cubans, Is entitled under the
constitution of the republic of Cuba and
for which ne fought during SO many
years. The warfare we are carrying on
is a civilized warfare. We are neither
robbing nor molesting women. We are
not numbering white people. nor have
we any intention Of doing so, although
the Cuban government is continually
stating that such is our purpose. We are
not making war against foreigners and
we hope that they will not take sides in
this conflict.
