Convention which met at Syracuse and
nominated Hon. Oscar S. StrauS for
Governor OF New York. The colored
delegates took an active part in the
proceedings of the convention. Several
colored delegates made speeches and
one of them seconded the nomination
of StrauS for Governor. Through the
influence of the colored delegates, two
important plankS affecting the colorcd
people were put into the platform.
One plank put the party on record as
denouncing race discrimination in cafes
the other plank favors the enlistment of
colored regiment in the National
Guard of the State of New York"
cat a recent meeting OF the New
York State Committee the following
named gentlemen were elected as mem
bers OF that body: John r. Gleed, New
York county; II. L. Scott, Erie; Rev.
w. H. Byrd, Monroe, and DR.. c. P.
McBlendon, WeStcheSter. All of them
are negroes. This is the largest repre-
sentation that the colored people of
New York ever had on the State Com
mittee of political party. For over
twenty years there has been but one
colored man on the Republican State
Committee"
"With but three exceptions all of the
negro Presidential appointees in Wash
ington were appointed by Col. Roose-
welt while he was President. Almost
all of the colored governmental en-
ployceS in the city of Washington who
are now holding positions either came
in or were retained in office while
Roosevelt was President. Even Cyrus
Field Adams, the negro assistant regis
Ter of the Treasury, who recently com
piled Republican Campaign book for
negroes, in which he enormously
gives the Taft administration credit for
all the negro appointments, was him
self holding the same office that he has
now under Roosevelt. Mr.. Adams got
out similar campaign book in 1908,
giving Roosevelt credit for the same
negro appointments which he now
gives Taft credit for in his new book"

appeal TO Southern men-to decent
white men from every state who have
made Florida their adopted home, 10
study closely the above paragraphs. MIR.
Roosevelt endorses the platform which
denounces race discrimination in cafes
and public amuScmentS. He says that
your wives and daughters are none too
good TO sit side by side in theatre with
a greasy negro male or female and
watch performance; he says that your
wives and daughters should sit at the
same table with negroes in hotels, res
taurantS and soda fountains. He in
dorSeS the platform published above.
Read it again and then contemplate it
seriously.
| appeal 10 our Democratic orators
now making canvass of the state. | ap-
peal 10 our Democratic editors to call
especial attention 10 this platform of
which MIR. Roosevelt SayS-"l am de-
lighted with it,
Mr.. Roosevelt is not a progressive be-
cause his speeches and his record shows
him to be a high proteCtioniSt. He is
not honest or decent because he is Il
liar and because he says he believes
negro is as good as he is or any other
white man. His whole record proves
that hundreds of thousands of negroes
are his superior in sobriety, honesty and
truthfuIneSs, but he goes beyond the
limit when he says they are as good as
real white men.
Mr.. Gunby and Mr.. Hodges-Mr. An
dcrSon or Mr.. Holt should be asked
what they think of Mr.. Roosevelts Joy
over the plank favoring negro equality.
