TRYING TO HOODWINK NEGROES

Democrats Pursuing Their Usual Double Faced Policy. Upholding Disfranchisement In the' South While Forming Colored ; Bryan Clubs in West >■ (From the Baltimore Sun, Dem.) General Winfield S. Hancock, who was the Democratic nominee for President In 1880, declared the tariff was principally a “local question’’—that e ls to say, a Pennsylvania Democrat might be a protectionist for protection’s sake, while %• Democrat in Georjgla or In lowa might hold fast to the doctrine of a tariff for revenue only. The Massachusetts Democrat might be a free trader without reservation of any kind, while the West Virginia Democrat might be. a free trader only with respect to commodities which were not produced by his own State.. General Hancock’s pronouncement was considered an ingenious evasion of the tariff issue, but It .did not produce harmony Iln.the Democratlc party, and the general was defeated. Twenty-eight years have passed since General Hancock defined the tariff as a local question npoft which the Democrats of each State were free to act with regard chiefly to local interests. The principle which he then formulated seems to have been adopted by Democrats In the West In respect to the relation of the Democratic party to the negro. Last week the West Virginia Democratic convention embodied [ in its platform planks demanding certain qualifications for voters, designed to disfranchise many negroes. Their platform also contains a declaration, in favor of separate coaches for white and negro passengers on railroads. The West Virginia Democrats not only refuse to hold out the olive branch to the negro and Invite him Into their fold, but they are determined to limit his political activity by a disfranchising law and to bring him under the operation of a “Jim Crow” law when he travels on the railroads of that State.

What ar® the Promises?

Out In Nebraska and la Kansas the Democratic campaign managers are organizing negro voters Into Bryan clubs. In Ohio no effort will be spared to secure the support of the negro voters for the Democratic national ticket What pledges hare been given and what Inducements have been offered does 'not appear. But it is a fair inference that the managers have promised to do “something for the negro,” perhaps to rtcognlze him in th® distribution of offices, if Mr, Bryan should be elected, and also to take such action as the negroes may demand In respect to the reinstatement of the negro battalion dismissed from the army by President Roosevelt for the attack on Brownsville. Last week when the West Virginia Democrats were declaring for a disfranchisement law and for a “Jim Crow” law, th® Democratic convention In the Twelfth Congressional district of Ohio adopted a platform favoring “the enactment of laws which shall accord to all men accused of wrongdoing, whether soldiers or civilians, a fair and impartial trial and an opportunity to be heart] before conviction or punishment” This apparently refers to the Brownsville Incident. It may also have a broader meaning and a more extended application and may be susceptible of an interpretation which will make Southern Democrats open their eyes with amazement and possibly with apprehension.

Race Question “Local Issue?” , 'phere seems to b® no ground tor reasonable doubt that the Democratic campaign managers In the West, In tbe effort to secure negro support tor their national ticket, are acting upon the principle that the race question Is only a "local issne.” It Is evident that the South does not approve this plan of campaign, 4>ut Is powerless to check It. The Democracy of the South is In full accord with the position taken by the West Virginia Democrats last week. And yet it is assumed by those who are trying to get negroes to support Mr. Bryan that the South will act in hearty eo-operatlon with the Ohio, Nebraska, Kansas and Illinois Democrats, who are welcoming the negro Into free fellowship In the Democratic party and probably promising to annul th® decision of President Roosevelt In the Brownsville matter. The theory of Western Democrats that the race problem Is merely a local issue Is calculate to give the South much concern. Many Democrats in that section may question whether It Is worth while to elect a Democratic president who may open wide the door of political opportunity to the negro.

Mr. Bryan criticises Mr. Taft for adding to the Republican platform. In the meantime the number of “paramount issues” which Mr. Bryan subtracted from the Democratic platform would fill several large volumes— Omaha Bee. . x'---m-tm 'I. . r. Honors are easy again.

DEMOCRATICHOPE SIDETRACKED

Taft and Foraker Bhoulder to Shoulder for Republican Principles. Another Democratic hope has been sidetracked. That was that United States Senator Forakar would not support the Taft candidacy, and would thus impair his chances of carrying the State of Ohio. The two big Ohioans fittingly met at the G. A. R. reunion In Toledo, and publicly and good-naturedly cast what differences may have existed between them to the air. Mr. Taft’s contribution to thfc treaty of peace was as follows: “It Is a pleasure for me to be here with Senator Foraker, because when governor of Ohio he gave me my first chance and took a good deal Of risk in ' putting a man of 29 on the bench of the Superior Court of Cincinnati Wo are about to enter—or rather have entered—a great oratorical campaign.... It is a pleasure to think In this presence that we are going to stand in the campaign shoulder to shoulder, with the full strength of the Republican party.”

In response Senator Foraker-denied that enmity had existed between Mr. Taft and himself, and said: “Under the circumstances I hope I may be pardoned if I say here in this presence—the flrat time I have bad opportunity to say it—that there Is not now and so far as I know there never has been the slightest ill feeling of any kind between Mr. Taft and myself. “If there Is anything I.'have a right to claim beyond another, It is that I am Republican three hundred and sixtyfive days in the year. I have my preferences sometimes as to who should receive the hoyers* of the party, and everybody generally finds out what they are. But J am one of those old-fash-ioned Republicans who settle every such question at the convention. When the Chicago convention nominated Mr. Taft to be the Republican candidate for th® Presidency this year, that Instant h® became my leader. He has been my leader ever since, and h® will be my leader until the polls close <Jn the night of the elecKon.” Mr. Foraker followed with an estimate of Judge Taft’s fitness for the office he seeks by repeating what Bishop Fallows had said before him.

“I want to repeat it,” he said, “that bis experience on the bench, In the Philippines, as Secretary of War, in the construction of the Panama Canal, In all the positions * he has filled, has been such as to qualify Mr. Taft almost beyond every other man for -the Presidency. We are going to elect him, and if he does not make a success of It, It will be his own fault”

Senator Foraker followed this statement with a review of his early acquaintance with Judge Taft, and th® favorable Impression he tflen gained of him.

WHERE SHERMAN STANDS.

Approves Legislation to Improv® ths Conditions of Labor. (From Sherman’s Speech of Accept- '"• a '■, ance.) ' ~?T TUe Republican party believes In th® equality of all men before the law; believes In granting labor’s every request that does not seek to accord rights to one man denied to another. Fair-minded labor asks no more, no less, and approve® the record of the Republican party because of that par ty r s acts.

I have helped to make my party’s record In the enactment of the EightHour law, the Employers’ Liability act, the statutes to minimize the hazard of railroad employes, tbe Child Labor law for the District of Columbia and other enactments designed especially to improve the conditions of labor. I cannot hope to better state my position on Injunctions than by a specific endorsement of Mr. Taft's Cincinnati declaration on that subject. That endorsement I make.

But He Runs on Forever. (From the New York Sun.)

What will Mr. Bryan say After next election day? Mi Bryan will insist That be is an optimist. Ren ten three times ! What of that? He’s the one great Democrat Willing for his fellow men To be beaten once again. Rend the Commoner and learn! Mr. Bryan, Mr. Kern, Sail together on this trip In the old, oft stranded ship. (They have quarters in the st®ml. In this antiquated craft, While they gaze at Mr. Taft Miles ahead—the raco near don® Abd by Taft and Sherman won--51 r. ‘Bryan, ever wl®e, Doubtless will philosophlz® And to Mr. Kern recite That remark, already trit®, All pniiared and often sprung; “Beaten? Yes, but I’m still yowng! I can wait another four Years, then try the race one® more, I have got this thing down pat, I’m the on® great Democrat 1”
