COL. DUNcAN'S INVESTIGATION
HAS PROVED THAT THEY WILL
STAND BY THE PARTY.

Chicago, Aug. 26.-According to Col.
Otis B. Duncan. of the Eighth Illinois
Regiment, hero of the Argonne Forest,
cation among his comrades in the
world war, the colored veterans will
vote as a unit for Harding and Cool
lidge. Col. Duncan has received hum
dreds of letters from every section of
the country and the preponderance of
the sentiment expressed weighs heav-
lily in favor of the Republican cand-
dates. The Colonel commands the
only military unit in the United States
with full officery made up from color
ed men. He is the idol of the Brown
Doughboy" and under his intrepid
leadership his entire command was
cited for bravery in France.
After referring to the fact that 1t
was only through the Republican Gov
ernor of Illinois that a complete or
ganization with colored officers was
possible, Col. Duncan said:
EVERY intelligent colOred soldier is
conscious of the handicaps that beset
us. not the least of which was a de-
cided sentiment among Democrats
who discouraged the idea of the col
ored man receiving full measure of
this organized opposition / am proud
that our boys carried themselves with
glory through the great conflict.
With the very least encouragement
dences of discrimination in France;
with published propaganda to create
prejudice against us with the French
people, we came through with our
colors flying.
Senator Harding gave fuller cog
nizance of the bravery and loyalty of
the colored soldier than we received
from the administration during the en-
tire war; and he opened the door of
hope, disclosing the realization of one
of the principal things for which we
fought. The Senator's words that our
sacrifices in blood on the battlefields
of the republic entities US to all of
freedom and opportunity, all of SYM
pathy and aid that the American spirit
of fairness and justice demands
cinched the argument with us.
I'VE fought first for our country.
for freedom and opportunity. The
Democrats denied us these rewards,
while everything we have secured
looking to that end has come through
the Republicans. Senator Harding,
the standard bearer of the Republican
Party. has gone on record, and ! be-
lieve the colored soldiers are for him
to a man."

nifty districts and of how he laid the
foundation for agencies which would
ultimately help the masses to do more
efficiently for themselves. 1t shows
Tuskegee's contribution to the solution
of many battling problems. 1t gives
