THE COLORED MANS OPPORTUNITY

THE COLORED MANS OPPORTUNITY
Throughout this campaign thing has stood out over
and above all things else and that is the REAL difference
between the two clamong for the vote of the OF
color The difference is that have one of action,
thought and courage In the other do not
what have One shouered the most gigantic task
known to modern man-that of bringing cosmos out OF
Chaos that of thinking acting planning for the good of all
with determination that knows defeat against
of whom of these things known What then should
do? What steps should take? What road should we
follow? Should change horses in the middle of the
stream? Lincoln, whom quote much and whom
lovingly advised to follow now said should
change horses in the middle of stream.
WE'LL will take his advice this time and not change
horses in the middle of this stream
The of the Colored is eagerly sought by both
major it should because is the thing that
each party needs in this election That being true then
makes it all the important that the Coored should
his vote the greatest advantage of the nation we'll
his Race It does not speak too we'll for people
that people can be led in direction without
reasonable The right and freedom of his vote
anyones else in this free country But it requires
two elements to make the value eectve-that is the free
dom you choose and the right and proper way
which will be for the best of your country you it.
Now you have candidate running the Republican
ticket about whom there is little if anything actually
He newspaper He brought to the atten
ton Of country by newspapers only The about
which have been telling you record
possible only through the assistance of the Federal govern
ment Take that away and have nothing left but bare
promises Can he carry out the promises he Makes Do
know worthwhile promises he has made carried
out? What is his natural ability? Can he think and act
straight without the assistance of those who
be doing all of the thinking and planning? Is it worthwhile
to gamble with certainty for uncertainty? These
problems not only for the of but
this country. On the other hand you have candidate
the Democratic ticket about whom know lot You have
been under his for the past three and years
know what he thinks You know what he will do and how
he will do it know that if he finds that plan will not
work for the best interest of ALL that he has the manhood
to change his plans in that direction This right given
all men-that to change their minds if there
-but the great trouble with the other is that
there that there any mind to start with
that there might be change of it. You know what cond
ton you when President Roosevelt to your
you know who blame and you know that
the conditions offered to you by and through the
candidate they putting forth at this time
With no ill will for anyone but with will that what
is honestly found to be best will be espoused the a
tude with which this election should be met.
When all things are weighed and the two compared
and with slight of the past there is but and only
one conclusion reach and that is Roosevelt and the
local ticket supporting him.
