OKLAHOMA TOWN WIPED OUT
slxty-two Buildings Destroyed by Fire
at Writ,

Writ, Okla, Nov. 7.-Sixty-two
buildings are in ruins as the result of
the second big fire within year.
The fire, which started in a restau-
rant, practically wiped the town off
the map in four hours. Owners could
get no insurance because of building
conditions, and many of them will
make no attempt to rebuild. The loss
is about $4,000.

Belief was expressed in some quar-
tiers that if the two submarines should
act In concert it would greatly
strengthen the British contention that
submarines are always to be held in
suspicion as vessels of warlike char
acter. There was no doubt, it was
said, that the British would hold the
joining of the submarines to be prima
facie evidence of warlike intention.

ROOSEVELT LEADS, WE FOL-
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 large following, and a return
to the Grand Old Party, for its sue
cess in November next.

To be Negro in a day like this

Is said. Should failures dictate to sue
cessful women? For eighteen years
the men have been raising money for

No wonder they marvel at the abil
tty Of one woman to rear up such a
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

selves its entire control? What have
they done with the money raised for

THE PARTY LABEL.

1t is hardly necessary to state that
the Negro vote will go to Mr..
Hughes, because Negroes have been
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 on
Negro questions stands on par with
their Republican colleagues. 1t is
more a matter of sectionalism than
partisanism. 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 a 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, a supporter of Pres
Taft. said that "if Mr.. Wilson proves
to be a good president, he would sup
port him for reelection" DR., North
RIP is for Mr.. Hughes. We, as Ne
'ro voters, must put the character
and record of the candidate above any
party label.

are reported to have lost heavily in
their attacks on Trones wood.
The French and German forces
south of the Somme apparently are
resting, as there has been almost no
inactivity in the region OF Plcardy

gained ground at the intersection OF
Fleury and Vaux roads The gain,
