THE Crusader Calls Senatorial candi-
date ~InsuIt TO hsery cOIOred
Man,
Politicians were reading interest
tedly one Of the late issues Of the Cvu-
sader, which describes Itself as the
old reliable coIored peoples paper
and which is taking active part in the
uprising Of the negroes against the
Republican party management and the
candidacy Of O. E. Weller, leader OF
the party organization, for United
States Senator.
i The issue of the Crusader being
passed around had savage attack on
Mr. Weller, under the caption THE
Republican Boss in Baltimore City
Drunk With Power" The attack was
as follows:
The revolt among the loyal col
ored voters OF Baltimore city against
the present tyrannical leadership O.
the Republican party is growing like
great mountain OF fire and is now
spreading to some Of the country OF
the State.
Weller, the candidate for United
States Senator, and Biakeney, the.
candidate for Congress in the Second
lCongressiona1 district, are direct
slap and insult hurled at every coli
ored man, woman and child living In
this district.
Great God, brethren, where is your
race pride? Where is your rational
the time to strike the blow for free
dom. Now is the time to throw of the
yoke of tyranny and strike terror to
the hearts OF every polecat lily-white
Republican.
This .unscrupulous white Republi-
can boss who sits on his throne like
a king, looking down upon every black
man with contempt, mates us because
God made our skins dark.
Another attack, in which no names
are mentioned, but which evidently is
directed against Mr.. Weller, was this
The candidate who has been pussy

cans as we'll as co1ored Republicans
will soon meet his Waterloo at the
hands of an outraged people. The edi-
tor of this paper is loaded for politi-
cal war and may be compelled TO ex-
pose some rotten doings out at Chica-
go during the session Of the Republic
fcan National Convention. Some of the
delegates out there from Maryland
refused to get in the Harding band
wagon and conducted themselves
like bunch of ignoramuses.
The reference TO the refusal of
ILL
the Harding bandwagon probably has,
to do with the refusal of State Chair
man TAFT to leave General Wood for
Senator Harding. Mr. TAFT is Mr.. Well
Eler's right-hanC man.
In sharp contrast to the attack on
Mr.. Weller is a laudtor of William
F. Jackson, who is pictured in this.
way:
This Sainted Soul has been digging
down deep in the trenches of old-time
Republicanism for years. There is

party of Maryland In season and out
