gratuaate you upon your nomination

uhspcakabie Ku Klux reptiles. Tho
brave stand taken by the real men Of
Virginia and Of Georgia will do more
toward the uniting of our forces North
and South, than all tho howing and
hcraping OF Mr.. Harding to Lily

Section 1892, of the Code of Virgin

ton. Ire shall, whether such insured
tion be made or not, be punished by
| confinement in the penetentiary not
less than five nor more than ten years.
On page four OF the platform" OF
! the lily-white Republican party we
find this sentence. "any person, white
or colored, who seeks to arouse raco
prejudice and antagonism IS sowing
the seeds OF those disorders which
bring shame upon this nation and Is
an enemy OF the State" Under the head
Of "Amicable relations betweea the
races" we find this sentence: ANY IN
terming.Eng or mixture of the races
in tails State is impossible.
We rise to ask, for what purpo sc
was the last sentence quoted, placed
i'll the platform, If not to nrouac "racc
antagonism?" what else could it have
been inserted for except to appeal 10
race prejudice?" If any suggestion that
the colored people OF Virginia, consti-
tuting less than onc-third of list popu.
lation. can control our State anil local
government, Or that they desire to do
so is a patent absalrdity and a ISLANDER
upon both races, "what interest was it
expected to conserve by the insertion
OF any reference to the race question mt
all? Every word and sentence in tho
platform OF a political party should
nave an object and a meaning: and so
what is referred to must either be for
the purpose OF appealing to trace pref
udice' and arousing race antagonism
or it is "a patent absurdity."

wrlte that which suggests that there

nothing but an attempt to do the very

Richmond. Va.

My Dear Mr.. Mitchell-I have fol-
lowed, with such information as was
available, your timely and courageous
campaign in your State protesting
against. the "Lily-White" Republica l
movement, and while somewhat un-
FAMILIAR with your local conditions, it
does seem that YOU are rendering q
splendid service to the Race by your
course. You teach the Race needed
lesson OF manly resentment against
gross injustice. How any man, and
especially Republican President, can
remain silent in the face Of such a sit
uation is enough to give us cause.
l am DESTROYS Of obtaining a copy
OF the Lily-White platform and also
one or your party and will be obliged
if You will forward the same to above
address.
Ilease find two dollars for subscri1
tioh to the Planet beginning with cur
rent number and accept my best wi h
es FOR splendid vindication of you,
cause
Sincerely yours,
