ROOSEVELT MEN APPEAL
TO MARYLAND NEGROES

NEW YORK, Nov. z.-The Progressive
party is appealing for negro votes in
the state of Maryland on the strength
of their promise to repeal or nullify
the Acknowledgement laws of the south
eru states.
The Maryland negroes are being urged
TO vote for Roosevelt because his cleo
ton will mean the recall of judicial
decisions by popular vote, and this will
enable the negroes to upset the laws
of the south which thereby the negro
is deprived of vote.
Circulars holding out this promise
have been spread broadcast among the
negroes Of Maryland and while they are
strengthening the Bull Moose candidate,
they are doing il at the expense of the
regular Republican party. Many negroes
are said to have been guiled into be-
lieving the promise of the Progressives.
THE INCONSISTENCY OF 1T.
The inconsistency of Colonel Roose-
welt with reference to the negro has,
of course. been overlooked by the ignor-
ant darkies of Maryland. In their be-
lief that a vote for Roosevelt would
restore to, southern negroes the right
to vote, they have forgotten how Roose-
welt himself trimmed on the race ques-
ton advocating votes for negroes in
the north and holding out no hope to
the negroes of the south.

BAIL TO-DAY

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.--It is ex-
pected that Mirabeau L. Towns, coun-
sci for Folke z. Brandt. former valet
for Mortimer Schiff, who was SEN
fenced TO thirty-two years in prison
for stealing two stickpins, will make
application today for his clients re-
lease in $1,000 bail
District Attorney Whitman is pre-
pairing today to file a prompt appeal
from the decision Of Justice Gerard in
setting aside the sentence of thirty
years imposed ON Fo]ke r. Brandt for
the theft of two stlckpins from Morti-
mer L. Sehiff.
Brandt will be called early next week
as one of the star witnesses in the
grand Jury inquiry conducted for the
purpose Of learning II the long sentence
he received was the result OF con-
spiracy.
The decision of Justice Gerard in the
habeas corpus proceedings will be en-
tered formally on Monday. The notice
of appeal will be then filed so that the
Appellate Division will be enabled 10
certify to the record at once. The car
rying of the case through the courts
Is one result of the positive refusal of
Governor Dix to pardon Brandt.
Two months will be required before
1t will have been decided whether or
not the habeas corpus proceeding was
the proper legal remedy instituted In
the matter Of Brandt's conviction. 1t
will take a month to get "a decision
from the Appellate Division and an
other month for the final ruling from
the Court of Appeals.
