FRANCIS FIGHTS FOR G. o. P.
Prominent Attorney Active for Re-
publican Victory.
WANTS RACE RECOGNITION

WANTS RACE RECOGNITION
Realizing the need of every effort
to keep Minnesota in the Repuuiican
ranks, Atty. William T. Francis, of st.
Paul, is advising every one to vote
for the Grand Old Party. He is a Re-
publican leader, and has never left
the party. ..
Now that the Non Partisan League is
seeking the Negro vote, and making
the usual prediction promises, Atty.
Francis is turning a deaf ear to all
inducements, and will support the true
and tried Republicans for every Of
flee.
He is a strong supporter of Gov.
Burnquist, and Atty. Gen. Hilton. He
is an ex-member at large of the Repub-
lican State Committee, and urges the
election of Atty. Hilton, who is filling
the unexpired term of the late Lyndon
A. Smith.
Mr.. Francis hopes to see Negro as
one of the assistant state attorneys,
and is going to make demand for
recognition Of his race in the offices
of the Republican candidates, who are
to come out for our vote in the gen.
eral election.
There is no reason why we should
not be represented in every office in
the departmental service of the state.
Francis leads in right direction,
and he has large following. The
time has come for recognition of the
Negro voters, and a united effort will
bring good results.
Should Atty. Gen. Hilton win in the
primaries, he will be asked to reward
the race that saved him in a time OF
need.

We have never known two injus-
tices to make anything right. The
Saturday News has prospered by be-
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because a majority of white people
will always side with a white man
when a question arises between him
and one Of our color; still certain col
ored newspapers, without making any
Investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne
gro race do identically what they con-
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself
