Freeport Liquor Dealers Not to Disband

There is doubt that there still fingers IN the
heart OF the average saoonkeeper hope amount
ing conviction that many Of Our larger cities which
abolished the saloon last April be swung back in
to the wet column at the next local option election
This undoubtedly is true with reference to Freeport.

This emphasizes the need of county local option
law because under county local option the chance OF
winning back Freeport and Bloomington would be
very slight indeed with the overwhelming dry
jority in the county to reckon with

A DISASTROUS EVIL.

The year 1913 and the first half OF 1914
have witnessed an amazing quantity Of
human development and progress in all
races; but old Father Progress seems
to have utterly overlooked one impor-
tsnt essential in the American Negro.
For instance, our colored people demon
-trate such . woeful lack Of patronage TO
some OF our colOred business enterprises.
Notwithstanding the fact that white peo-
pie in the same pursuits march steadily
onward and financially upward because
Of their inter patronage.

something tangible.
h j. Capehart made one of the
strongest speeches of the meet
ing making it strong that the
race had no right to delay union.
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolutions were unanimously
adopted as follows:
That whereas this coming pri-
mary election embraces features
far reaching in their effect as
concerns our people, and that
their attention may be called TO
this fact: We feel il to be the
sense of this body, the Mcdowell
County Colored Republican Or
ganization, that we go on record
as going from this meeting a.
greed to prosecute a vigorous
campaign in the interest of
arouainR the voters of this coun-
ty TO leave no stone unturned To
get our full vote at the polls on
July 46th and in Novem Der, in
defense Of our rights and priv
leges.
Whereas division and disor-
ganization in the ranks OF the
Republican party in the past
have contrived TO give rs q Ma
tional Democratic Administers
ton, in both Houses of Congress
and seems likely TO bring about
the same condition in our state.
Therefore, be it resolved, that
the agreed sentiment OF this
meeting Is that all the colored
voters will support the candi-
dates nominated in the primary
election TO be held July 18th and
thus again bring about concerted
and harmonious support Of the
candidates Of the Republican
party In this county and state.
That whereas this is to be a
primary election In which the
people will 5e called upon to Sc
lect candidates for office from
Congress down, and since we
have had expressions from the
representatives OF the various
clubs IN this county, and that
nothing shall be done to mar our
present harmonious relations
nor unduly hamper or hinder
any voter In this county in the
free selection Of his choics in
this primary.
Therefore b Il resolved that
