TO BE RESENTED
AT THE POLLS.
This attitude VIII be resented az the
polls d full county ticket will be placed
before the people asking for their sup
port In November.
"As the Lily Whites have nominated
the republican county ticket, let them
elect It will be the slogan"
These be bold words. and Il is not
beyond the realm OF possibilities that
the fine new ear that the city of In
dlanapoHs bought for Mr. Jewett's use
will soon bo seen parked ia the fashion
able Ruckle street neighhorhood, where
Norrell maintains his home. somewhat
10 the dismay Of other property owners
In the vicinity
In explanation thereof II might be
said that when Rufe Page got "on" ow-
ing 10 mistakes" OF the police In be
llevlng that his emporium on North
Senate avenue was a gambling den. the
mayors car found a satisfactory park
ing place nearby and the police ceased
to disturb Rufe
Rut to returr to the subject in hand.
Il must be said that the man who got SO
many votes more than all the republican
candidates FOR president Is "peeyed.''
LETTER OF
DIR. NoRRELL.
Ia support Of that statement there is
the rest Of his letter which says:
Il wos somewhat surprised on the 18th
to read In the indianapolis star an mr.
ticle written by W, ). Henderson in
which he advises the colored people TO
stand by the national and state ticket
irrespective Of what good democrats may
be on the other side
Henderson brought that in because
he knew that Thomas Taggart. lifelong
friend. was running on the ticket as
against James Watson.
Watson f. a 'four-nusher.' who cares
nothing for the negro except to get bis
vote and wouldn't know him the next day
after the election
Henderson did not tell the people how
the Lily Whites treated him, but !
win
He was nominated for the office OF
justice Of the peace for Center town
ship: was promised AIucllcrs place
waited patiently until his time expired
forced him 10 surrender the office and
then I twas handed by the Lily Whites
to Frank Glass.
Henderson knows the Lily Whites
H.
the cold shoulder to one OF the most rep
resentatiye and popular colored man of
the city. Or Charles sumner Williams,
ms well as myself Personally, I do not
believe It was a question of ability I'm
either case, but just the LILY Whites
against the Black and Tans; the organ
izatlon, headed by Hendrickson, assisted
by 'Chuckhole Charlie and 'PetticOat
Jim drove the machine over the tape
SAYS HE SEES
JOKER IN ARTICLE.
Henderson has the nerve 10 come back
and demand that the coloFed people sup
port the G. o. T.. but there appears to
me to be somewhat Of n Joker in Hender-
sons article.
He tells of the shortcomings of the /
party for forty years past. asks that
the state and national ticket he sup
ported, but omits to mention the de- !
STABILITY Of voting for the county
ticket
"Win Henderson he fair and tell the
republican colored voters what is wrong
with the county ticket and whether he
stands for It or not?
I'VE want Henderson as well as others /
to understand that we propose to bring
the question which he is silent upon be
fore the people.
"The colored people unanimously sup
ported Teddy Roosevelt and upheld the
doctrine he preached and enunciated time |
and time again-A Square Deal but
have we received it?
mo. n thousand times no.
Now let the organization of 200 or
more colored citizens give an answer TO
the demngogues who have defied the
temple and prostltuted and made vile the
virtues Of the old republican party.
