This has been the season of Tho
negro politician. Never before in {
Republican convention has the "col
ored brother" enjoyed the Importance
which the Roosevelt contests are now
giving him. He attended conventions
in greater number in reconstruction
days, but he attended then merely as
the tool of carpet baggers.' Hero
he is an actual political entity.
From the day contest cases were
called by the committee the huge re-
ccption room of that body has beer
filled with the blacks and tans.
A vast majority of the Southern
contestants are negroes. The whole
contesting delegation from Virginia
is of the black race. Most of the
Floridians and more than half of the
Louisianaians in the contest list arc
colored, while perhaps two-thlrds OF
the Mississippi dissenters are of the
same class. But few of the Georglan'
Alabamans and North Carolinlans arc
negroes, and there are no negroes
among the Tennesseans.

Saturday.
Quality Continues Poor, But
Prices Show Improvement.

The sale at the Loose Leaf To-

of buyers present and bidding was
active. The sales will be held
every Saturday until furtht
notice, but the sales on Wednes-
days have been discontinued.
