1t seems that Bishop walters critics
Will never get through with talking
about the great mistake he made in

certain that IL Bishop Walters made
any mistake at all, IL was the fault
Of the brains and not OF the heart.
He is a thorough race man. and one
whose Cody and political judgment
has never before been questioned. The
bishop was sincere in his efforts to
bring about a division along political
lines among his race, which. we, too,
thought at the time was a good thing.
BY his earnest labors the good bishop,
aided by such powerful and influential
men of his race as the Revs. G. c.
Clement, editor of the Star of Zion;

many others. converted thousands Of
colored voters to accept the Demo-
cratic faith.
They were told by the enemies of
the Democratic party that that party
was simply using them as stepping
stone to secure the national election,
that they (the colored voters) would
not be recognized at all after the day
of election II the Democrats should
happen to win. Disregarding the

which has since discovered a scheme
by which it can best help the negro

an American citizen.

brother has lost faith in the old Rdage,
IF at once you don't succeed try. try

State in this Union for the support

But they don't seem now to be trying
again! The colored voters seem to
be quite willing to cherish the ambi-
tions of their Democratic friends. They
supported them loyalty by their votes
in the 1912 election. Now, IL they can

Democrats) in the coming election by
