whites selected purely by colored men
were sent to the convention, represent
ing nothing but their own greed for mon
ey or office, the majority was overwhelm-
insy anti-progressive. Seven-eighths of
the colored men from these rotten Dor
ough districts upheld by their votes the
fraudulent actions of the men who in
that convention defied and betrayed tho
will of the mass of the plain people of
the party.
ut would be not merely foolish but
criminal to disregard the teachings OF
such a lesson. The disruption and de-
struction of the republican party, and
the fact that it has been rendered abso-
lutely impotent as an instrument for
anything but mischief In the country at
large, has been brought about in large
part by the effort to pretend that in the
southern states a sham is fact. by the
iasistence upon treating the ghost party
In the southern states as a real party,
by refusing to face the truth. which Is
that under existing conditions there is not
and cannot be in the southern states
rarity based primarily upon the negro
vote and under negro leadership or the
leadership of white men who derive their
power solely from negroes With these
45 years of failure of this policy In the
south before our eyes and with catas-
trophe thereby caused to a great ma
t1onal party not yet six weeks distant
from us, 1t would be criminal for the pro-
gressives to repeat the course of action
responsible for such disaster. such fail
ure, such catastrophe.
Not to Appeal to Negroes
ut would be much worse than useless
to try to build up the progressive party
In these southern states wheSe there Is no
real republican party, by appealing 10
the negroes or to the men who in the past
have derived their sole standing from
leading and manipulating the negroes
II earnestly believe that by appealing
to the best white men in the south, the
men of justice and of vision, as well as
OF strength and leadership, and by frank
" putting the movement in their hands
from the outset, we shall create a situa-
lion by which the colored men of the
south will ultimately get Justice as It is
not possible for them to get justice If
we are to continue and perpetuate the
present conditions. The men to whom
We appeal are the men who have stood
FOR securing the colored man in his rights
before the law. and they can do for him
what neither the northern white man
nor the colored men themselves can do.
Our only wise course from the stand
point of the colored man himself is to
follow the course that we are following
toward him In the north and to follow
the course We are following toward him
in the south"

AGUINALDO
MAKES VISIT
TO BAGU!O

MANILA, May 13-Emilio Agui-
naldo, former general of the insur-
recto army who has been practical
ly a recluse on his ranch in Cavite
Viejo during the past ~ years, is
making his first visit to Baguio, the
summer capital. Fearing that he
might be assassinated by relatives
of the late General Lun, for whose
death he is alleged to have been
responsible, Aguinaldo has kept
close to his farm. He has visited
Manila but twice since the close of
the insurrection; once during the
visit of William Jennings Bryan,
and once during the visit of Presi-
dent Taft when Taft was secretary
of war. On both occasions he was
closely watched by secret service
men. In Baguio Aguinaldo has met
several of the members of the Luna
family in social intercourse, and 1t
is understood the old feud is now
broken.
