Ex-Slave For Taft. An ex-slave living in Philadelphia -has sent to the Philadelphia Ledger ( the following letter: To the Editor of Public Ledger: I have read many of the different viewe as to whether it would better the condition of the working people for the colored people to vote for Bryan for president, a vast number of the colored race belougi ing to that class. My belief is that it would be political I suicide for any colored person to vote the i Democratic ticket, as Democrats have ’ been the enemy of my people ever since 1 slavery days, and today in the solid south I it is almost Impossible for a colored person to go near the polls, not saying any- | thing of voting. Bryan’s election would give the Democratlc party power to entirely disfran--1 ehise the colored voters. HOWARD ANDERSON. ‘■Ex-Slave."

It seems to be a question whether Governor Haskell, sloshing around calling Roosevelt a liar and a crook, will be juay less damaging to the Democrats than he was in th* offt r e of treasurer. Governor Hughes seems to be another who failed to bear the decision that there is no argument at all against guarantee of bank deposits. The reason why the Democratic party hasn’t such men as Roosevelt, Taft, Root and Hughes in it is simply because its membership is so largely composed of one W. J. -Bryan. —-r A violent heart throb over the option bill.
