animosity.
"He is quite SAFE" Won Brenig said.
And turning to the sergeant he ordered
him to remove the American to an adj

Sergeant Schmidt at once proceeded
to carry out instructions. And Selling

LOW.

We heartily accept the advice of
Americas greatest citizen, and will
support the regular presidential nom-
inee of the Republican National Con-
vention, Hon. Chas. E. Hughes, and
do what we can for the success of the
Republican ticket. We are not in
accord with the entire platform of the
party. The suffrage question, as a
States Rights measure, will not give
the Negro women of the South a
right to vote. We are against any
program giving a State a right to
override the Constitution. We had
hoped to see some plank in its plat
form recommending legislation to
make 'Lynching a Federal Crime. "
We cannot get our constitutional
rights under State Sovereignty, and
must rely on Federal legislation and
enforcement for our protection. The
Republican party has done more for
us than any other party and we must
overcome its evils with its good; still
contending for right and protesting
against wrong-believing in Divine
Providence and thankful that Col
Roosevelt has accomplished his ulti-
mate purpose, which was also his
prophecy-that he would drive out of
the Republican party, those who cor
rupted the principles of the party.
We regret the loss of friend, of
cur race on the Supreme Bench, by
the resignation of Justice Hughes
which gave Pres. Wilson an oppor-
tunity to appoint a Democrat-and
fate may decree that by his appoint
ment we may have a Justice White
or Justice Harlan. Though Demo-
Gratis they were honest interpreters
of the law and spirit of the Constj-
tuition. 1t is up to the Negro to be
loyal to himself and the door of hope
will soon open to him. We have
awaited orders and willingly obey the
requests of Col. Roosevelt, who led
US into the Progressive Party in 1912,
and we return to the Republican
ranks under the same leadership and
convictions. Let the slogan be
"Hughes and Fairbanks must win"
and now that the Progressives have
accomplished their purpose, we ex-
pect a large following, and a return
to the Grand Old Party, for its Sue
cess in November next,

THE PARTY LABEL,

1t is hardly necessary to state thai
the Negro vote will go to Mr.
Hughes, because Negroes have beer
consistent Republicans. They cannot
support Mr.. Wilson, because of his
segregation of Negro employees
and his catering to Southern senti
ment, which is anti-Negro. But
there are many good men in the Dem,
ocratic party who are our friends
Some are in office and their record or
Negro questions stands on par with
their Republican colleagues. 1t is
more a matter of sectionalism than
partisansm. The Northern Demo-
crat is often preferred to the South
ern Republican. Notwithstanding
that we want to increase our Repub-
lican strength in both branches OF
Congress-; we should not follow the
label and vote for a candidate, who
is tagged as Republican and repudi-
ate a present office holder, tho a
Democrat. who is on record as being
for equal rights for all Americans. Dr.
Cyrus Northrop, supporter of Pres.
Taft, said that "if Mr.. Wilson proves
to be good president, he would sup
port him for reelection" DR.. North
rip is for Mr. Hughes. We, as Ne

and record of the candidate above any
party label.

ventiOn have resolved that the Ma

Is said. Should failures dictate to sue
cessful women? For eighteen years
the men have been raising money for
the purpose of building a theological
seminary and as yet do not own a

No wonder they marvel at the abil

work as the National Training school
in the course of six years. Hardly is
1t to be expected that they can realize
the work Of Mr.. Boyd in connection
with the publishing house. Should
such men dictate as to how the work
Of the training school should be car
ried on, much less to take upon them
selves its entire control? What have
they done with the money raised for
the seminary?
