DOVER, Aug. 7.-Dr. W. c. Jason,
colored. president Of the state Col
lege for Colored Students, located one
mile from Dover. has issued a state
ment in which he denies a report that
he is a Democrat, and says that. al
though a Republican. he is not taking
an active part in any factional fights
DR.. Jason points out that his work is
to help his race through the college
of which he is president, and that to
take an active part in politics would
injure the institution that he repre-
sents. In his statement Dr. Jason
says in part:
Personally, I am a Republican.
My vote and such influence as / have
been able to command without Of
fensive partisanship have been given
for the support and success Of the Re
publican party. AS president of the
Colored College, have no politics. My
purpose is to make friends for the
school among all parties and all fac
tions. If I favor some men more than
others. it is because I have reason to
believe they will favor the institution
more than others.
Dependent as the school is upon
the votes of men representing all
parties and factions for appropriations
to perpetuate the work we are doinf
for the children Of the race. II is un,
reasonable to expect the president o.
