AFRO-AMERICANS FOR McKINLEY

The undersigned members of the National Afro-American Press Association very much regret that the impression has gone abroad, from the action of the association, that the association is unfriendly to the administration of President McKinley. This is not true. It has been the uniform policy of the association not to commit itself to any partisan indorsement as an organization. The undersigned members of the association, who constitute more five-sixths of the membership present, unreservedly indorse the foreign and domestic policy of the national Republican administration, and believe that the best interests of the country at large, and the Afro-American people in particular, will be served by a consistent support of McKinley and Roosevelt In the coming election: Cyrus Field Adams, The Appeal, Chicago, 111.
