tn.e: but the nogro would be . mrh
' of a problem than he now in 'I ' n

tunal conventions. There's ohere1
most of tho troublo lies.
The south where nearly all of t.
Heroes are has solved its part of the
tho others do nothing worse than talk
about It.
But the negro has a vote in Ropub-
knows It To mnko matters worse
the Republican politician knows It
and this makes all tho mischief.
It makes negro postmasters and ne-
gro postmistresses negro customs
officers negroes In oifice everywhere
In tho south (but none In tho north
where there a.'e no negroes who hav
vote in Republican conventions) and
negroes in the white house at the pre
ident's table.
Secretary Root need not worry about
tho mistake made in giving the nogro
the ballot. The south has romotllod
that.
The trouble Hos In the fact that he
lias a vote a voiy considerable rote I
in Republican conventions.
And the Republicans "play polltlos'
