NEGRO FEDERAL EMPLOYE OUT FOR NEW TICKET Points Out Inconsistencies* of Stand by Lily-White Mob. SITUATION IS SCANNED In a letter to the Times O. N. T. Gray, negro, Government enpioye, deals with the negro political situation in Indianapolis without gloves. The letter follows: Editor The Times—The fact that an Independent Republican ticket has been placed in the field by Marion County negroes makes the local political situation more Interesting to the thousands of i your negro readers (not to say all your ] readers) who will support und oppose the Independent Republican ticket. Certain gllb-tongued negroes of the old school of politics are henchman of the lily-white Republicans, who have more real hatred in their hearts for negroes, than any whites in politics. These negroes, upon the appearance of the Independent Republican ticket, raise a great cry of “They are negro Democrats working for Tom Taggart. That statement can only be described by a short and ugly word. Asa Soutbern negro not many years'in | Indiana. I was interested to learn some- I thing about the negro voter in Indianapolis and the Hon. Joseph Broyles, regular Republican now, was one of the original Tom Taggart men In Marlon County and secretary of the first Colored Tom Taggart Club in Marion County. The negroes sponsoring the Independent Republican movement most assuredly are not original Taggart men and will most assuredly preach the doctrine of negroes voting the Independent Republican ticket And they will not be bought by Lemcke’s gold. Nor will they be bribed by the offer of Jobe, Pwmetimes called positions, handed out to negroes along with a few small checks doled out to political workers in lien of the things nearest to the heart of the negro. It is placed forward as an argument that the writer should not be a factor in politics because be came from the South, where negroes were not allowed to vote. The truth of the matter is thht in every Southern State there are a few negroes who regularly Qualify to vote. The writer happens to be one of those who qualified and voted regularly, although it must be admitted that his vote cut about as much

Ice as a Democrat's vote cuts In Pennsylvania. The writer was forced to go to Democrats all his life for business favors, and for what little recommendation that was necessary to enter the railway postal service, but never in his life has he voted the Democratic ticket, nor will he at this time. Supporting an Independent Republican ticket composed of Republicans who have been so from principle, is a horse of another color. It is hoped to frighten negroes into line by saying that any serious deflection of the negro vote means the election of the Democratic ticket. That is a question that-concerns the Republican county gang morn than it concerns negroes. The immortal Theodore Roosevelt was possibly in some degree responsible for the election of Woodrow bnt if Roosevelt were alive today he would come very near being elected President by acclamation. Hiram Johnson Is a Republican in good standing today. He is not charged with being a Democrat. The real situation is that the sins of omission of the average county Republican organization are as bad as tho sins of commission of the average county Democratic organization. Thinking negroes have looked the situation In the face and are taking, this way out of their political dilemma. Theyare opposed -to the rebuffs given respectable colored women voters by the Marion County Republican gang. They are opposed to being led by negroes, who have committed penitentiary offenses with and at the ballot upon the order of white ring politicians, and they are going to place ; the negro upon a different pftnc politically. >1 Colored henchmen of the lily-vrhite Republican organization seek to discredit the Independent Republican movement by saying that Dr. Norrel Is paid by Mr. Taggart to lead this movement. So man- of these same colored men have benefited by Mr. Taggart’s liber.!lity in the past until they can’t Imagine any negro starting any movement without trying to bleed Mr. Taggart, like some of the same henchmen bled Mr. Lemcks in the May primaries. The truth of the matter Is Norrell is “coming clean’’ with his people this time and with all due respect to his work so far the movement has outgrown him. The movement set in motion by him has grown to the proportions of an avalanche that will sweep from the landscape the pigmy, peanut politicians of the common or garden variety and make our race respected and respectable in politics. G. N. T. GRAY. P. S.—The writer rents the house that Is uaed as headquarters for the Independent Republican party. The impression got to lily-white headquarters that Emsirdei! Stone had control of this building. The Political gunmen in charge of Marion County Republican pol-

icies sent word to Stone that they would have his license revoked and would have his building condemned If Norrel were allowed to open headquarters at 623 Indiana avenue. Stone has nothing to do with this building, as the writer rents it from the owner. G. N. T. G. Whole Town Joins in Search for Convicts WARNER, N. H.
