A Political Pigmy.

Atty. William Henry Harrison
Franklin HUSTLED" on any Ne,
gro, when he was getting cents
apiece for petitions with his notarial
seal, for the Progressive Party in 1912
Now, Franklin says that Smith is
getting otit the low class vote for
Mayor Nye. Well, Bill, you have nc
right to be aristocratic, as it is a safe
bet, you never wore a silk pair OF
stockings or drawers either Practice
law and quit politics? We know the
game, and the hereto unknown quail
ity of Negro voters has been found
Smith did not call the meeting-but
our exposure of conditions beginning
Sept 4, 1913, did the deed, and you
hitched your wagon to the Star and
became satellite of very small mag
nitude, instead of the great planet OF
the Civic Club (his night-mare). Did
you know that Mr.. Williams spoke
at a meeting last week, where they
piloted everybody upstairs for beer
and cigars Both the candidates for
Mayor need votes from every class,
and will solicit them. You are a
handicap to any candidate. Better
run your little campaign paper, whose
editor is now running for a Jim Crow
Y. M. c. A. hand-out. Don't try to
answer Messrs. Nye and Robertson
and plead your absence" When did
you ever attend anything given by
Negroes? Atty Franklin is Negro
Che hates the name) Get out and
broaden in the sunlight of activity. Do
not stark through the streets as "Mr
Hyde seeking his quarters. A fellow
like you who can carry Colts a and
belt of cartridges strapped about
him-should appear brave at least.
You are natural coward. Afraid to
argue cases in court. We do not be-
lieve you are dangerous, simply be
cause you can't look a fellow in the
face, unless he is buying the drinks
We know your disease and all its
symptoms, have prescribed bitter
pill, but take it, will do you good
Cheer up! you cant be but Negro, so
be good one, if not the best. We
publish this article for reciprocity
You have advertised the Star in your
moral % paper. Now, continue,
Many of our readers will know that
there is NEGRO (dont get angry
in this city named Franklin. We
prosper under critisicm but was forced
to reply to your differences. Now, il
your case is really hopeless, we shall
give you the cup of hemlock-as an
end to your sufferings. Charley
Hamilton, ex-detective, who is presi-
dent of this new club, has been
bounded by Franklin-but he is
hustling advertisements for the Star
and his face is bright as a big sun
flower and full of smiles and he en-
joys the antics of Franklin as he
would monkey in menagerie-and
Editor Smith should worry.
