The Colorado statesman., 1912-07-27

Washington, July Ex-senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, opened,
warfare upon the employment of
colored policemen by the District
government. His anger was
aroused over the arrest by an Off
Ger at the Capitol of constituent
of the Georgia senator, young
Grover Kelly, of Macon. The
young Georgian, when he noticed
the black policemen, gave vent to
some caustic remark to the effect
that Negro policemen would not be
tolerated in the South. The Ne
gro became infuriated, arrested
the Georgian, and is said to have
hit him with his mace. The boy
was released on cash bond. Sena-
tor Smith and Representatives
Hughes and Bartlett of Georgia
appeared as council for him at
Police Court the next morning, on
ly to find the case had been dock
eted and collateral bond returned.
The Senator then announced that
he was opposed to the continuance
of Negro policemen in the Dis
trict. Fill their places with good
white men," he said.

(From New York Age July 11.)
The New York Age does not
see how it will be posi- BILE for "a
single self respecting Negro in the
United States to vote for Woodrow
Wilson. He was born in Virginia
and lived a good part of his life
in Georgia and Alabama. Both
by inheritance and absorption, he
has most of the prejudices of the
narrowest type of Southern white
people against the Negro. This is
bold assertion, but we can prove
it.
While Mr.. Wilson was president
of Princeton University he stated
that it was the policy of Princeton
to keep Negroes out of that insti-
tuition As a result of his policy
and influence, Princeton is the one
large institution in a Northern
State that closes its doors against
Negroes.
This is not all Everyone
knows that without the vote of the
Negro people in the State of New
Jersey Mr.. Wilson could have new
er been elected governor. In spite
of the fact that his election as gov
ernor was due to the Negro vote,
he has not by turn of the finger
recognized single Negro in New
JERSEY since he has been Cover
nor. He has treated the race in
New Jersey as if they were for
eigners and outcasts.
1t is reported on seemingly good
authority that when delegation
of colored people called to see him
soon after he was inducted into
office of Governor to request him
to retain a colored man who had
been messenger in the Governors
Office for number of years, Mr..
Wilson told the committee of col
ored people, that he would retain
the colored man not because of
their political influence but be-
cause the man was a good
darky."
We do not believe that even
Bishop Walters can find a single
thread upon which to hang an ex-
cuse for supporting a man like
Woodrow Wilson. Certainly, no
Negro, let US hope, can support
such a man unless that Negro has
lost all sense of manhood and is
out for the dollar pure and simple.
Further than this, it is known
that an active and strong group OF
colored people hung around the
Democratic convention in Baltl-
more seeking to get the Democrats
to put line or two in their plat
form regarding the rights of the
Negro. The convention absolute
lv refused to recognize this COM
,mittee or to put single word in
the platform regarding our race.
Under all the circumstances, it

terested in the evening school. He
enrolled and studied diligently for
long time. Finally he went
away and was a Pullman porter
for awhile; then he returned to
Brockton and went to work in a
shoe factory, starting at 81 a week.
He is superintendent of the Mes
siah Baptist Sunday School and is
active in church work.
