Every Negro who loves his
family will vote against the
Lilly white in partv caucases
and if necessary vote against
at the polls. The Republican
party is treacling on dangerous
grounds when they attempt to
nominate these political para-
sites anywhere and at any
time.
Hon. Jim Harris will he
nominated from the 70th. Dis-
trict. He is a stalwart Rep-
ublican and beleives in a square
deal. He is certain of election.
Here's our hand.
The time has come when ev-
ery man regardless of race or
color must stand for right
and in our party every man who
knows what it means to live
in h Arkansas Texas et al
innst stand like a stone wall
for Equal rights to all men
and exclusive privilrge none.
Is that asking too much?
and to send a delegate to the
convention that represents the
minority.
Our boys are at last ditch
fighters and in the political
battle now on it is war to
the knife and tlio knife to
the hilt. Aside from the con-
ditions that means success to
the party is the question
whether or not black legs
gamblers andjfgrafter among
the Negro shall rule and be
called decent Nigroes as the
Phoenix names them.
The large mouthed blatant
demagouges who are getting
popocratic money and selling
out the race will be in a bad
shape after they fail to "deliv-
the goods."
It may be that the fellows
can buy the Negro delegates
but we dont beleive it and
will not until after it has been
done.
We desire to call the atten-
tion of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction to the fact
that employees should spend
their time at other points than
Muskoiree and some of them
are very busily Leinplyec
here while the boys are leav-
ing school and the girls need
instruction. Can it be the Non-
partisans and Democrat candi
dates interests are paramont
to the children ander their supervision.
RAYMOND WINS
Douglass and His Resolutions
REPUDIATED.
JIM CROW CARS
GIVEN BLACK EYE.
Some of the fellows 'are fool-
ing the opposition and taking
their money while we dont
approve of this we say that if
yon must releive them of their
cash do so in a hurry and get
on the right side before the con
vention. To the candidate we
say better keep your money.
The irame is un and vou are
o . i " j
onrowing it away out uo as
you see best.
It is said that James Huok-
el berry will attempt to run
things over the rank and file
of the Republican party on
October the 9th. in the Dis-
trict convention and that he
will have armed men at his
back. We hope this is not
true as it savors of bossism
ring rule and the common
people will object most stren-
o isly to this kind of rule no
mttter if a Federal official is
a delegate to the convention
and directs him to ride rough
s od over the people. The
bulldozing in the fourth district
was an outrage upon com-
mon decency and the perpe
tiators will some day regret
t eir action. The Ropulican
p rty of this state cannot and
w 11 not condone such infer-
n il practices.
At the Republican piimaries
on yesterday the Republican
party daclared for Judge C
W. Raymond as delegate to
the constitutional convention
At this writing there are 29
votfis not contested for Rav-
mond and three votes for Hop-
kins thue are 18 votes contes-
ed. The above is a fair lion-
pst statement of the condition
of the party. Out in Dist. No.
4 it is reported that the Ne
groes were driven out of the
convention by a Deputy U. S.
Marshall at the request ol tne
filly whites men who formed
the great majority of the
party proceeded to organize
and elect their delegates. Down
in Dist. 12 the Doputy U S.
Marshall was there but did not
interfere with the meeting tho
same is true in Dist. No. 9.
The lily whites and their black
dupes have failed in their efforts
to control tho party. Douglass
of resolution lame cracked his
whip and a few black traitors
got in harness ahd like slaves
did the bidding of their mas-
ter and even then they failed
miserably to carry out the de-
sign of the Jim Crow car sup-
porters Douglass et al
When the Phoenix calls Sims
and Morris respectable Negroes
then its time to call a halt and
ask who are these men that
are the respectable Negroes of
the twelth district? Does this
mean that the other men at
the convention were not respect-
able? We think so and call
the attetion of them to the indictment.
We know every man law-
yers aud all who were at the
bank Thursday night. Why
they were there will make
interesting reading hereafter.
And may be our leader of lead-
ers was 'there.
Richmond the autocrat in the
ninth district did all in his
pwer to defeat the majority
If tho Popocratic candidate
wins it will be because the
Negroes who are delegates will
sell their birth right for a
mess of potage. If we get Jim
crow cars just lay it to the
men who have in their power
to name the delegates to the
constitutional . convention.
Watch their acts and you will
know who the traitors are.
Purasuant to a call issued
by J. Coody Johnson presi
dent of the Nogro Protective
League of the state of Okla-
homa the coiored voters of
Thirteenth Recording Distrirct
of the Indian Territory met
in convention at the United
States Court House Wowoka.
September 29 and aopted ths
following resolutions.
Whereas; in a meeting hem
in the city of Muskogee cer-
fnin nersons. stvlinc them
selves the Republicans Press
Association ot the Third con-
gressional District passed res-
olutions denhuning the Negro
and declaring that he has no
civil rights that the Republi-
can party is bound to respect
and.
Whereas such doctrine is
foreign to Republican principles
and calculated to defeat the
Republican party in the coin-
ing election; and
Whereas: the Republican
party lias always stood for
equal rights to all citizens re-
gardless of race or color and
under these principles the great-
est civic liberty and prosperity
has been enjoyed the Negro
now therefore be it resolved;
by the Negroes of the Thir-
teenth Recording District that
we denounce the resolutions of
the Press Associetioij aforemen-
tioned hi toto and the orici-
nators thereof as traitors to the
Republican party; that we
pledge ourselves to give our
hearty and undivided support
to any candidate nominatee by
the Republican paaty who fa-
vors these principles that is to
say equal rights to all special
privileges to none.
Further; he jt kesolned
That the Negro has an abiding
faith in the honor wisdom and
integrity of the' Republican
party and cannot ba driven
from its ranks by any acts of
hoodlums masquerading as
Republicans when in truth
they are Democrats.
