ship. We have in the past been
lamentably wanting in securing
these benefcent results. We have
simply sought Office for ourselves
in order that we might feed on
government pap, that may be
handed out or down, not desiring
to benefit the race itself We
should endeavor to seek a higher
plane than this. These questions
should be propounded to each can
didate, whether he seeks either
the National or state Legislature.
list. In case the colored vote
of this district should give to you
their undivided support, what eff
feet will you make towards the
eradication of the present racial
feeling towards them for part of
which you are responsible?
End. Are you in favor of the
industrial uplift of these people in
using your efforts to open to them
the doors of the factory and the
store now closed to them through
color prejudice?
3rd. Will you use your efforts
if elected, to wipe from the statutes
all laws which have a bearing to-
wards discrimination on account
of color?
4th. viii you seek to enact
such laws that secure to them
equal accommodation as that en-
joyed by others IN travel, either on
land or by water, in places of en-
tertainment or amusement?
If any candidate seeks to evade,
answering these questions wheth-
er he be Republican, Democrat
or Progressive the committee will
know where such candidate
stands, and if he should be elected
what he might expect from him.
We do not care to what Party he
belongs, every effort should be
made on the part of the race to en-
compass his defeat. These re-
plies should find space in the col
ored press of the country and be
circulated broadcast.
The time has come when as a
race we must look to our own well
fare and not trust to the platform
of principles of any party, our OBJ
ject should be the men who seek
these places, they are the ones to
whom we must look for future bet
terment.
One of the reasons the Republi-
can Party lost out in the last Ma
tional contest, was its failure in
not carrying out the principles of
their platforms for years, they filled
them glittering statements of what
they proposed to dc, but their can
didates were lacking in fulfilling
such promises. In order to break

THE FALL
CAMPAIGN

The following article which ap-
peared in the last issue of the
Philadelphia Tribune is thor
ough Endorsement of what we have
been endeavoring to tell our peo-
pie in the West from time to time,
and now that it is brought out so
forcibly in journal of a city of
over ten times the amount of col
ored voters than in Denver, there
is every reason to hope that they
will spend a little time in reading
carefully this article and devote
themselves absolutely to its in
structions:-
In few weeks the Fall Cam
paign will be upon us when we
will be in the throes of another po-
litical campaign. The coming one
will mean much, very much to us,
as to whether the present admin
istration is to be endorse in its seq
regation and other policies that
have been pursued toward us by
the present party in power.
1t is to be hoped that before the
campaign gets TO be very old that
delegations of our best citizens in
this and adjacent states will Sc
cure interviews with leading can
didates on their Congressional or
state ticket to secure the views of
such candidates toward our race.
1t has been the custom in the past
for a few self.constituted men to
see such candidates and to prom
ise to them to deliver the colored
vote of that particular section or
locality providing certain emolu-
ments would come to them person
nally. This is the selfish side of
all political deals. These people
think that as long as they can
swim and breast the tide for them.

they are content, to be of service
to their race is secondary con-
sideration. What should be done
in this state and in our neigh bor-
inc states is to find out from these
Congressional candidates as 10
what they will do in case they are
elected through national legisla-
ton toward the betterment of the
colored residents of their district,
not in the way in securing office
for them as that is only for the
few, but for that larger benefit that
will accrue to the many in remov-
ing the prejudice that exists to-
wards us and which prevents
members of the race from securing
employment in commercial fields
or in securing TO US those rights
that others enjoy in travelling from
one section of the country to the
other. and not only in the passage

laws are rigidly enforced, that

that the Negro in America consti-

knows that the Negro in America

no nation can reach its highest de-

gives birth to anarchy and crimes

 Providence, New Haven and Brook lyn were among places represented by visiting commercial travellers Thurs day.
 One of the out of town exhibitors who has worked at many similar ex- positions spoke complimentary word for the Norwich people on Thursday when she said that she considered they were certainly well bred and polite, and that they showed 1t in the way they visited the booths and looked at the exhibits. There was no crowding and pushing and knocking things of the counters in the effort, to get souye- mfrs, however attractive. and the ex- hfbitors were not annoyed by having articles handled or disturbed, as they often are at shows of this kind

NEW LIFE Found in Change to Right Food.

After one suffers for months from acid dyspepsia, sour stomach, and then finds the remedy is in getting the right kind of food, 1t is something to speak about.
 A N. Y. lady and her young son had such an experience and she wants others to know how to get relief. She writes:
 "For about fifteen months my little boy and myself had suffered with sour stomach. We were unable to retain much of anything we ate.
 After suffering in this way for so long I decided to consult a specialist in stomach diseases. Instead of pre- sorfbing drugs, he put us both on Grape Nuts and we began to improve immediately.
 '.It was the key to a new life. I found we had been eating too much heavy food which we could not digest. In a few weeks after commencing GfaPe-Nuts l was able to do my house work, I wake in the morning with a clear head and feel rested and have no sour stomach. My boy sleeps well and wakes with a laugh.
 ssWe have regained our lest weight and continue to eat Grape-Nuts for both the morning and evening meals. We are well and happy and owe it to Grape Nuts

CLAIMS cARRANzA
 IS NOT HOSTILE.
Message Intended as Basis For Future
 Negotiations.

Robert V. Pesqueira, Carranza's s confidential agent here insisted today that the note of his chief to Secretary Bryan was not hostile, but was in tended as a basis for further nego- tiations. He was expecting reply from MT. Bryan, setting forth the views of the state department.
 The rebel position is that the Amer ican troops should be withdrawn from Mexican soil, Carranza recognized as de facto president, or at least as a belIigerent and the punishment of the individual Huerta and other indivadu- al offenders left to the rebels.
 Carranza, if recognized, would not hesitate to apologize and disavow the acts of one whom he considers a traitor.
 q think his statement was fair and frank" said Pasquiera, t'and by no means threat of war;
 He was asked if the words used by Carranza asked if the words used by Carranza will drag us into an un- equal warfare with dignity. but which until today, we desire to avoid" did not mean that Carranza at last did desire war.
 ssNot at all," Pesqueira replied sIt couldn't mean that because know that my chief wants peace"
 For a time it was thought that the translation might be at fault and that Carranza's Spanish really meant 'but to this very day we desire to avoid, but careful examination of the origina showed that the translation was cor rect. It was made by Samuel Belden Pesqueira and Carothers, in consulta- tion and fully weighed the meaning oi every word and phase.
 PesQueira said as giving evidence o1 the peaceful intentions of the rebe government that Carranza had re- fused number of offers from fedora garrisons to join him if he would take the field against the United States. "To all of these offers, we have re- turned negative replies said PesQue- ria
 we cannot join forces with Huerts for any purposes"
