NEGRO WILL NOT BE so EASILY DUPED

The Democrats brought out of the convention of great
confusion the very best they had Mr. Davis the
ceponal public men, in that he has honor above gan and
far of the demagogue than most of those

the Democratic party being the party of the people, when he

and that fact should teach him that there just much honor

kind and nature.
Although Woodrow Wilson gained the presidency by the
active help of the Negro especially in the close states true
him that mentioned the Negro during
the entire eight years he held the position of President of the
United States and certainly the Negro might expect
better treatment of John W. Davis who starts out to the
office by asserting that the Democratic party the party of
the people, when he full well that his party the party
and the Democratic party the party of the people, then
the people in ptiabe plight with regard to the ability

The Negro made the mistake in taking Mr. Wilson at his
