COL. WOODCOCk SAYS "BLAOk
VOTE IS LIABILITY"

ANNAPOLIS, MD. May I'm an
address to the Republican Womens
Club of Anne Arundel county here last
Thursday afternoon Col. Amas w. w
Woodeock U. 8. District Attorney al
Baltimore, declared the solid black
yoka wx4sa liability rather thsu-an q
set to the Republican party in Mary
land. He said in part:
We are in minority. But why? One
reason is the Negro. Don't misunder.
stand me. would not recede one iota
from the idealism of the early Repub.
lican Party, which gave the Negro the
right to vote. In ttose sections OF the
State where there are many Negroes
it Is the most obv!ous argiiment for
skiIlful and unsc:upulous leaders to
use against us. There is no appeal
quite so powerful as racial prejudice.
"The sad fact is that, while the white
people do not join the party because
of the Negro, the Negro has. in turn
ceased to vote. So we are hit from both
sides.
"If the Negro does not believe in Ee
publican policies he ought not to re-
main in the party. I think the fact
that the party gave him his freedom
or gave his ancestors freedom, is not
a reason for remaining if he ceasees to
believe. simply call attention to the
fact that his supposed allegiance makes
Democrats of many who are Republi
cans at heart, and that he is no longer
voting the Republican ticket.
I'm fairness to him, he has every
reason to be disgusted at promises
made him by unscrupulous leaders
which were never intended to be full
filled. The Republican party ought to
make the same kind of appeal to him
as it makes to other voters-to his Ia
tell.gence and idealism.
"He should expect this and nothing
more. There is no mena"e Of Negro
denomination in Maryland. 1t is not
intelligent for the Democrat TO suggest
it."

at Union and outpointing unmistak-
ably over Howard at Howard. The de-

Under the diligent tutorship of Prof.

orators, now seniors, Messrs. G. L.

speakers were developed to ex20und on

JUSTICE FOR NEGROES.

Governor Trinkle was received wltn
a rising greeting from an audience
which filled Ogden Hall to overflow
ing. He said that he had come to Hamp
ton Institute to express through his
presence a deep interest in the well
fare of this institution. He frankly
confessed that he had no dream OF
Hampton Institute performing any
service even approximating what ne
had experienced. He expressed his own
appreciation and that Of all citizens VI
Virginia for the presence Of the North
ern visitors. He said that Virginians
are not unmindful Of the generosity
which has been shown by many people
to Hampton Institute. He stated that
the work of Hampton Institute has
been productive of excellent results in
the training of colored people for c1ti'
zenship.
"I am interested" he said, "in his
address to the Hampton students, in
the development Of your race. I am in
terested in seeing that justice is done
you and square deal is meted out un
der every condition and every circum
stance. am glad to tell you that Wiz
ginia as a state Is interested in her col
ored people. The last General AS
+sembly gave larger appro'
priation for capital outlay to the col
ored school at Petersburg than any i'll
stitution, white or colored, in the
State of Virginia. There is no reason
why the white and colored races
should not be real friends. There is no
reason why they can not and should
not work together in an advantageous
way. Each should strive to treat the
other justly and fairly"
