The Chicago Convention

The National Republican conven-
ton at Chicago can nominate Taft.
There will be enough Taft votes there
or enough can be put there by decis-
ions OF the national committee. The
question with which the convention
will have to wrestle is, will II be
expedient to nominate him? Can the
party win at the polls in November
with Taft's name at the head OF the
ticket. An excellent statement OF
the situation appeared in a recent is
sue of the Boston Herald. We re-
produce part of the article for the
benefit OF those who take pleasure In
figuring and prophesying.
What will the Republican national
convention at Chicago do? This Is
question of metaphysics rather
than of numbers. II is a question OF
the effect on mems minds OF a ser
les of forces and circumstances now
reasonably in view.
Three fourths of the delegates to
that convention have been chosen.
II is unlikely that any tendencies
exhibited in so wide range OF
states and districts as those which
have already voted will be materially
modified, one way or the other. In
those that remain. Certain general
conclusions may be regarded as es
tablished.
Roosevelt has proved stronger than
Taft in the popular primary states
Roosevelt has proved stronger in
the states to which the Republican
party looks on election day for the
great body Of It's support.

winning hand for the party than
those at MIR. Taft's disposal. Roose

AS the home paper of the Hon.
Charles A. Prouty of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, We are auth
orized TO state that the report now
current that he is soon to resign his
position and return TO his old home
in Newport is mistake. The report
grew out of remark made by him
at a recent meeting of the Vermont
Association in Washington, d. G., and
which was not intended to convey
the meaning that has been attached
to it. Mr.. Prouty will serve out his
full term on the commission. AS to
being candidate for the senatorship
now held by William p Dillingham;
he has not uttered syllable on the
subject, or will he be a candidate be
fore the term of Mr.. Dillingham; ex-
pires. What may happen after that
will depend entirely upon the will
of the eope-Newport Express and
Standard
Hon. Charles A. Prouty's
long term of service, added to his
great natural ability, make him the
most valuable member OF the inter
state commerce commission and II
would be a national loss If he should
resign. On the whole, it would seem
as though his service there is more
valuable than it would be in the Uni
ted States senate. The Banner con
fesses to a resentment against the
new commerce court and desire to
see it abolished mainly because its
acts so far seem to be chiefly to up
set the work of the commission OF
which Mr. Prouty is the head. Sen
ator La Toilette of Wisconsin in his
autobiography, now running in one
of the leading magazines, pays high
compliment to Mr.. Prouty. Senator
La Toilette states that years age
when he was governor OF Wisconsin,
he urged Mr.. Prouty to leave the gov
eminent service and go to Wiscon-
sin and become the head of the pub
lie service department of that state.

Said President Taft in Recent Address. Be-

Every once in while you will meet
a man, whose vision is bit clouded
who talks about the waste of money in
teaching men of your race the cur
riculum of an academic institution.
Instead Of sending them to the univer-
sity, the claim has been made that
they should be sent to manual train
ing institutions. Such man has
and does not understand that as a
race which is striving upward and on
ward you need many who shall be
leaders-men who shall figure in the
learned professions, many of them as
physicians, as lawyers, and especially
as ministers. $780,
Higher Education Essential to Race.
Now it is highly essential that all of
the men of your race and any other
race who are to occupy the learned
professions shall be equipped with a
complete education and those of us
who are responsible for the coming of
your race to this country are equally
responsible for furnishing the means
by which they shall lift themselves.
(Hearty applause.) 1t is essential
mat We should encourage those who
aspire to be the leaders of your race
as far as possible and furnish the
means for higher education such as
are supplied by Howard University, by
Fisk University and other institutions
established for the higher education Of
your race. Now these people who are
worrying about the waste of money on
that account, need not sit up at night
on the subject, for I have looked into
the amount of money that is invested
in those institutions and there is not
anywhere enough money to furnish
the education that is needed by the
colored people of this country. ZAP

1.-THE cOLoRED TROOPS FOUGHT
NOBLY."

In reporting great battle during
the slave holders rebellion in which
the Union army was victorious, a. ia
nous general said: "The colored
troops fought nobly" In the great
battle for the Republican nomination
for President the other day the Afro
American delegates in the convention
acted nobly and made the renomina-
ton of President Taft possible. 1t was
made possible by the unwavering loyal
ty of the great body of the Afro-Ameri-
can delegates who held the balance OF
power Although inducements of
every kind were held out to them to
desert the President, they spurned the
offers and voted as they were instruct
ed, for VIM. H. Taft.
The editor of THE APPEAL, in an
Interview early in June, denied the
stories which were being circulated
by the enemies of the race that the
Afro-American delegates were venal
and would desert Taft when the crisis
came. Attention was called to their
high standing in their respective COM
munities, and the prediction was made
that they would never betray their
trusts, and to their everlasting credit
be it said, that they have proved faith
full. In addition to their great work
for their country in voting for the re-
nomination of President Taft, they
have rendered great service to their
people by demonstrating to the world
that their honor is unpurchaseable.

SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1912.
WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

The Republican party made no mis-
take when William Howard Taft was
renominated for the presidency.
He is a man of the people, his public
record is clean and he stands for poll
cies which mean the continued prog
ress of the Nation.
He deserved a denomination because
of the great achievements of his ad-
ministration. He has shown sober
judgment and broad craftsmanship.
The Afro-Americans have a good
friend in Mr.. Taft. He inherited his
open sympathy for the race from his
father, Judge Alphonzo Taft, than
whom the Afro-American never had
better friend.
A few years ago Mr.. Taft was ap-
pointed a trustee Of the Jeannes fund
for the education of the poor Afro
Americans in the country districts of
the South, and his acceptance of the
trust is an evidence of his sympathy
for the poor and downtrodden.
In his public utterances, President
Taft has denounced lynching in the
strongest terms; he has approved
higher education as well as industrial
training; he has paid high tribute to
the race for it's great progress in edu-
cation and industry during the past
forty years, and he has expressed his
deep sympathy for the sufferings of
the Afro-American from the con-
temptuous insults of white men not
his equal in intelligence and devotion
to duty.
To President Taft must be given
credit for having appointed an Afro
American to the highest office yet OBJ
tanned by one of the race He did this
when he named William H. Lewis AS
sistant Attorney General of the Unit
ed States.
The President has shown his inter-
est in the race in so many ways that
there can be no doubt about the mat

cans are Republicans, true to the

To President Taft is due the credit
for having appointed a colored man to
the highest Office ever held by one of
the race in the government service.
When Mr.. Taft named Hon. William

Attorney General of the United States.
he did a thing unprecedented in the
annals of the nation for this is near
cabinet position.
An Afro-American's Name on All U. S.
Paper Currency and Bonds.
One of the most important offices in
the Treasury Department, that of Reg
lister of the Treasury, has been con-
tinuously filled by colored men, under
Republican appointment, for more
than quarter of a century, while un-
der Democratic administrations dur
ing that time no Afro-American was
considered worthy to occupy that po-
sition. The place is now held by Hon,
J. G. Napier, of Tennessee, who was
appointed by President Taft. The i'm
portance of this Office is indicated by
the face that the signature of the Reg
lister is attached to all paper currency
and bonds issued by the Government
