WILL Be LOYAL TO TAFT
Support of Republican Ticket
Predicted of CoIored Vote
in the North.

NJ. Grant Lucas, principal of Bruce
Public School, addressed the Musolit
Club. which resumed it's sessions last
night at the Washington Conservatory of
Music, on "Civic Interest" The club is
not political organization, but Mr..
Lucas took advantage Of the occasion
to predict that in November the northern
colored mans loyalty to his brother in
the south would be manifested at the
polls by his vote for Taft. He said: 1.-THE
1900 colored people employed by the
government, drawing annually $12.5OO,OOO.
is positive tribute to the republican
party's policy of race recognition. While
we admit that many things We desired
have not been done, yet the sum total of
what has been done goes far beyond what
could have been expected fifty years ago.
One of the best means for cultivating
civic interest is for our colored people to
sympathize with and participate in those
as the clean city movement the pure food
movement, hygenic and sanitary homes,
the encouragement of the library habit
and the various other opportunities for
improving modern life
