are concerned that diplomat who

AN OPEN LETTER

I, like the majority of my peo-
pie, have stuck with the Republi-
can Party for sixty-five years. We
stuck with the party because that
party had made step toward us.
That was during Lincoin's admin
istration. Lincoln died seventy
years ago, and his policies in re-
gard to our group died with him.
I do not think the colored voter
win cast his or her vote on Nov
ember in a spirit Of forgive and
forget rather think they will
remember that the Republicans
have been apologizing to the South
for seventy years for what the
great Lincoln did for the race. No
coIored voter should forget what
happened to that coIored post
master under Mckinley: though
he appealed for protection, ex-
planned that his life was in dam
ger-he got no protection AS a
result, he and his family were WHIP
ed out and nothing done about It.
Then-look at the Ninth and the
Tenth Cavalries- as gallant sold
iers as ever wore the uniform in
any army in the world. These
troops were disbanded under Re-
publican rule and no attempt was
made to place them in any other
branch of service; and the 24th
Infantry, which was stationed in

With the thought in mind Of

know some of you are going to

the occupants uncomfortable, so
if your choice should fall on this

is famous for its fine upkeep.
SHARE AN APARTMENT:
A lonely girl away from home
would do we'll to investigate this
opportunity. She would have real
home surroundings and it would
not be the least bit expensive. A
young lady in her early twenties
has an apartment in private
home with her aunt, who in turn
keeps house and cooks the meals.
1t is more space than they actually
need so they are desirous of get
