In the election just past, in which

Importance that the colored citizens
support me, the only representative
of the race who was being voted on.
We have labored so Ions under the
charge of disloyalty to each other,
that an opportunity to prove other
wise meant much TO our honor. The
failure of colored candidates in some
past elections to keep pace with the
tickets on which they ran has been
accounted for by political observers
on the ground that colored candidates
are Objectionable to colored people.
To have this charge confirmed in even
the slightest respect was to forfeit
the esteem of our neighbors. and
therefore ! was far more interested in
the attitude of the colored voters to-
ward my candidacy than was in any
thing else. | am happy, supremely
happy. to say that the colored citi-
zens have measured up TO the highest
ideals that could obtain among a loyal
people. In Denver at least, for all
time to come. we deserve to be spared
the insult implied in any charge of
disloyalty. While | was the candi-
date and my personality enters into
the matter perforce, ! prefer to ac-
cept the many marked efforts in my
behalf as the tribute which we pay
TO each other. regardless of personal
ity. | prefer to believe that the many
sacrifices made to advance my candi-
dacy were the expression of the Ne
gro's loyalty TO his own interests. l
am persuaded to that belief the more
because some of those who fought
hardest for my success have differed
with me in business in the past, and
not a few have been consistent sup
porters OF political policies different
from mine. Yet in all Denver the
men and women of the race rose up
en- masse and worked and voted for
the success of the colored candidate.

good schools and good churches. They
have run whisky practically out of the
county, and during the year 1910 there
were only six convictions for serious
crimes among the Negroes of the
county.
All this has come largely through
the efforts OF Tom Walker. farmer,
