SATU^DAV OCT. 17. 1908

No republican can find any plausi ble excuse for not voting for ever>’ nominee on his party ticket, from Taft to Wolfson. The county ticket is composed of first class men, men who were nominated by the people themselves at a poplar primary, and they ought to receive the vote of every republican. At the State election in Georgia last week an amendment was adopted to the constitution of the State disfranchising all colored men. Such is ^democracy. Colored men cf Indiana had better be on their guard lest they are treated likewise, in case of democratic success in this State next November. Hoke Smith, who is speaking for the democrats in this state, declared when he was a candidate for re-elec-tion as governor of Georgia this year ( that “I favor, and if elected will urge with all my power the elimination of the negro from politics.” A vote for Bryan is an endorsement of the position of Hoke Smith, for Bryan has explicitly done so himself. If there is ever a time that republicans are in duty bound to support the nominees of their party, it in a Presidential year when the record of the party for the past four years and its policies for the next four years are to to be approved or disapproved. If you do not support the party you are not accord with its principles and policies. In other words, you are not a republican. If the position of Bryan, Tillman, and other democratic statesmen is correct, then it was a very great mistake, if not a crime, to have conferred the elective franchise on colored men, and should be correced as soon as possible in order to preserve the civilization of the country. Of course, every honest man who knows enough to get out of the rain, knows that the southern democrats simply use such expressions as a cloak to undo by legislation what was accomplished by the great Republican party after the civil war. It is a pity that this question should be an issue in a political contest at this late day. Who is responsible for it? Not the Republicans nor the colored people, but Bryan and his southern supporters, This is the paramount issue to colored men every where. When the colored republicans give those fellows who to be republicans, but who are always found at the critical moment heading so-called Independment movements, among a certain element, to understand that they are not regarded as republicans, but democrats, then we will not be bothered wtih them in the future. They have a legal right »to be whatever they please, but they cannot sail under false colors. The old political adage that reads, “As goes Indiana, so goes the nation” presages the success of the Republican ticket from President Taft down to Isidor Wulfson for township trustee, for Indiana is safe and sound within the Republican ranks, and there is no disaffection within the breast of the colored citizens of sufficient moment to cause desertion of the Re publican ship for the Democratic sea The Republican nominees on the

William H. Taft will be the next President of the United States. No intelligent negro doubts that Taft will be elected. Yet it is deliberately proposed by a few misguided negroes that negroes shall vote for Bryan, whose electoral votes will come almost entirely from the south, the old Conferate states where the negro is disfranchised, lynched, often with horrible tortures, and treated on the whole as crully as in the days of slavery. The Northern negro is called upon to put these lynchers and burners and negro haters into power at Washington, with the authority of the Federal government behind them, and the army and navy of the United States at their command. He is called upon by professed friends, who are his real enemies, to sever himself from the National Republican party and join the Bryan democracy, whose chief, William J. Bryan has sought to justify the Southern Democratic policy of denying the suffrage to negroes. What good could be accomplished by such a course it is impossible to perceive, although it is easy to see that much evil might follow. The Republican party would be relieved from any further obligation to the colored men. The Democratic party, it is certain, would not change its stripes any more than the leopard its skin, but, on the contrary, w r ould regard the negro as having approved, by his vote in the North, Democratic oppression and disfianchisement of his race in the south. The negro, having deserted the party which has always been his friend, w r ill be left without any friend, unless willing to faw r n upon the Southern w'hite as a spaniel fawns on its master. It is no wonder that leaders of the negro race, who look to the future as well as to the past, and who know that the Republican party offers to the negro his only prospect of pollit cal, social and intellectual advancement, protest firmly against the proposal to hand over the race to be dragged again in shackles at the char iot w'heels of Democracy. The negro will share, as every citizen will share, in the benefits of good government under William H. Taft, who says that to him the black American is the same as the white American, and it make no difference in Mr. Taft’s attitude toward the negro whether the latter had vo L .ed for him or not. But it would make a difference in the attitude of the Republican party, and it w r ould go down in history as an act of baseness the perfidy of which would be equalled only by its folly. We have confidence, however, that the colored race will prove itself worthy of all that the Republican party has done for it by helping to elect President, one of the best men ever nominated for that office since the Union was formed, William H. Taft, of Ohio.

Seeks Reinstatment Washington Herald, Oct. 6, 1908 Sergeaht Mingo Sanders, of the colot ed troops, discharged by President Roosevelt for participation in the Brownsville raid, yesterday sent .the President a leuer requesting that be be reinstated in the army. Accompanying the letter is an affidavit from Sanders, denying he took part in the shooting-up of Brownsville or that he had any knowledge who did the shooting. He claims to have ber n asleep at the post on the night of the trouble. Sanders points to his recoid of six discargeti af>er meritorious service, and his seventh discharge “with

out honor.”

The President modified his order of discharge of the Loops about a year ago, and under it each discharged sol dier appl ing to reinlist can be taken individually by the enlisting officer. Sanders in the deposition by bis attorney N. B. Marshall. Esq . recites that he apnlied to prove his innocence one* 1 , but withdrew to wait till the Senate inquiry was over. He wasjater informed that he hnd three months to apply in He applied three weeks before three months b<-d expired and was informed he could have no further chance. Sanders emphasizes the fact that 30 years* service expired May 5, 1908, and but for the discharge wi hout honor, and the refusal to let him submit testimony as to his innocence, he would now be enjoying half pay for the rest of his life, MINGO SANDER’S RECORD. As to his record Sanders savs that he holds seven discharges and the character indorsements therein art :

1. Very good. 2. Very good 3. Excellent. 4. Excellent. 5. Exce lent.

6 Excellen.— A faithful and reli-

able soldier.

7. D scharged w:tb out honor. Zanders says he has served in every ca mpaign for the lai-1 25 yea’s and reminds Col Roosevelt that he shared his bard teck with him and bis “Rough Rides’’ at El Caney. Then Sanders relates pathetically the loss he has sustained the dwindling of hU savings and the blow to his wife’s health in bts disgrace. He ask ib-U the President correct hi- record md restore full rights.
