The Ohio republican State Convention, which recently en dorsed Mr. Taft for president, put a plank in its platform de manding suffrage rights to every illiterate negro in the South, un der pain of reduced representa tion in congress for any and all! states restricting the voting priv-1 ilege. This commits Secretary I Taft to the policy of prosecuting and persecuting southern white I men for the part they have taken in the effort to protect this sec-1 tion from the curse of negro I domination and means a reign of terror in states, like North Caro lina, which have passed restrict- ive sunrage taws, ut course the republicans do not expect the electoral vote of a sigle south ern state and they have no re gard for the interests of any peo pie who are unwilling to "bow to the mandate of their dictum." The radical idea now is to catch the negro vote of doubtful states, viz: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and a number of other northern and western states, regardless of con sequences. ! Reasons for the Ohio republi can declaration are traceable to a meeting of nigra bishops some months ago jwho issued this warning to then: race: "We do hereby raise Our voices in stern and solemn warning to the com ing republican national conven tion not to pat in nomination for the presidency either President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft on pain bf having arrayed against either of those gentlemen at the polls next November the almost solid colord vote of the North." This warning from "their broth' ers in black" frightened the Pres ident and his big War Secretary to the point of promising a return of negro suffrage in the South in the event of 1 af t's election, it is even charged and not denied that Mr. Roosevelt himself wrote this obnoxious plank of the Oohio platform. If true, it is the crowding piece bf infamy of his administration, next to ine incident of dining with Booker . . . - j ... i Washington in the WWte House. It is an everlasting shame, this proposition to re-open the race problem in the South, and no decent white man can afford to stand for any such thing. tion. - - - ...

After the passage of the fif- teenth amendment whereby the South was forbidden to disfranchise anybody on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, it lies in no man's mouth to say that any Southern State does disfranchise anyone without prov-I nntiu. iM it i absointelT AJK.

The fourteenth amendment left the Bouthern states with the option for each state to let the negroes vote or not vote, as it chose, but if it did not allow them to vote, it would be subjected -miia be subjected to a reduction of representation." But thev will not repeal the fifteenth amendment. On the other hand their acts of hypoc- risyare going to continue and fhe wbJt,. krsU f TSJnrth Caro- lina and elsewhere in the South . . . to stana together in pr mis latest proposed miruiu on their rights. Here is the ne- gro plank of Secretary Taft's Ohio olatfnrmi political rights of the "The civil and . American negro in every otate, dsi.t- in;, as we dbj thab hli marvelous pro (tress in intelligence industry and pood citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation, and that those legislative enactments that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, are unfair, un American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land; we favor the reduction of representation in Congress and the electoral college in all States of. this Union where white aad colored citizens are disfranchised to the end that The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States may be en forced according to its letter and spirit." This means that the republican party considers the blackest and most ignorant negro in the coun try the equal of the Anglo-Saxon socially and politically. White men oi Henderson county how do you like it? Is it not enough to bring the blush of shame to the face of every true North Carolinan? Havevwe not had enough of the negro in politics in this good state? The temperance forces are or ganizing in many counties tor the approaching contest for state prohibition. It is well to be fully prepared to meet the oppo sition squarely upon every field of action from Cherokee to Cur rituck. A large majority at the May election is very essential to the permanent settement of this perplexing question. The oppo sition is on the alert and no effort will.be spared to prevent the ratification of the prohibition bill. But if all temperance advocates interest themselves without de lay and do their full duty the re sult will be decisive. The bur den of the campaign in rural com munities rests largely with the ministers, teachers and good wo men. Of course, every consist ent member of the various churches is expected to go on record for prohibition at the polls and it is important to get all o these to deposit their ballots on ' m A a election day. And tnere is no time to lose. Let the good work begin now. Republicans realize that they must have the negro vote to stand a ghost of a chance to elect cir nominee for the presidency accounts for the remark aWe utterance upon the suffrage question at the South in the Ohio piatform. h tney succeed in making good their promise to the negroes it means another reign of terror -m re Land. And when foe WOrst does come southern wnjte men will be found standing shoulder to shoulder in opposing a rcturn cf former conditions.

Settle, oue of the most prominent republicans in the state, has -written a letter to the Charlotte Observer reciting reasons for his conclusion that the republican- party haa no show in North Carolina. He takes the position that the republican party has always been handicapped by the actions of its leaders. ' "Ad mittedly great," continues Mr. Settle, "is the evil of having our conventions dominated by Federal-office-holders, is small and in significant in comparison with the evil of having them dominated by negroes, ine negro can pa rue 1- Date in conventions if be is a qualified voter and can get him self elected as a delegate. To in sist that he shall dominate the situation when he is not a quali fled voter, and not a delegate, is revolution.- as well as maudlin sentimentality." It will be remembered that Mr. Settle supported the Constitution al Amendment in 1900 and to this good day stands four square for white supremacy. Is it any won der he has felt called upon to give vent to his feelings with reference to present conditions in the repub lican party of North Carolina? Dominated, as it is, by Degroes and Federal office-holders, as in dicated in precinct primaries re cently held in many counties, who can blame him for "speaking out iu the meeting." Mr. Settle has long since contended that the lead ers of his party in the State were only after the "loaves and fishes' and cared little for its success He realizes more forcibly this year the utter impossibility o building up a respectable party under the present management of the pie-brigade. Other fair-mind ed republicans are reaching a sim ilar conclusion. The republican primaries in Ral eigh last week were dominated by negroes, only two fellows having white skins partici pated at one of the meetings, both being Federa office-holders. The chairman and secretary were negroes and the delegates to the county convention received instructions to support Adams for chairman and Taft for president.' So it appears that the negroes and pie-eaters are abou to take charge of the radical or ganization in the state. Thus it behooves the "average" white cit izen to co-operate with the demo crats in their efforts to maiutaiu decent government in North Car oiin a ana white supremacy throuhout the South. This is a white man's country. mi ine aemocratic state conven tion of Nebraska, held in Omaha last week, enthusiastically and unanimously endorsed their favor ite son, Hon. William Jennings Bryan, for president, instructing its delegates to the natioual con vention to employ all honorable means in bringing about his nom ination. The platform adopted thoroughly accords with the dis tinguished Nebraskan'a ideas upon the great public questions now de manamg attention and every utterance rings in good democrat ic doctrine. The convention idol tzed Mr. Bryan and predicted his election as the next president of the United States. O w , -w . opeaKer n. j. justice an' nounces through his friend and former law partner, J. W Pless, Esq., that he is not a can didate for Attorney General There is little doubt that Mr. Justice would have been nomi nated if he had asked for the honor and no man in North Car olina is more fitted for the place. To accept the place would incur financial loss upon him and he takes the" wise course from personal point of view. a xi ine republicans nominate Taft for president they certainly ought to name Booker T. Wash ington as h i s running mate.

(News & Observer & Charlotte Observer) To the Editor: The public service is the highest service. Into the selecting of a publio officer, the citizen should put his best self, his best motives and best thought. And political parties must do this or learn by defeat the lesson that the people, though patient and appar ently indifferent, will not be trilled with. Political parties are wrecked mainly by men who ride them to ruin; men who choose themselves for office, thrust themselves upon their parties, .hi in oooular aeitation and weak in character and efficiency. At the present; hour the Democratic party In North Carolina must be more than nvnr iaaloui of those who would ' i j rise to service and; power in its name. The old slogans have lost their appeal; the old shiboleth has lost its power. Politics for party's sake Is a dying pol- icy wherever men are learning to mios And it is not to be regretted that minis ters, newspapers and schools are adding thousands of thinking men to the racks nf our voters at every election. Least of all needs the Democratic party to re gret this. It stands for intelligence; it must live by intelligence. These remarks are as much to the purpose with regard to other offices as they are to that of Commissioner of Labor and Printing. But I bave writ ten them with a vie"' to saying a word or two in behalf of the candidacy or Mr. M. L. Shipman for that position. He If Ti COPVRICHT.
