Colored Soldier Killed In Brawl.
Del Rio, Texas.—This state adds another disgrace to its name by a sheriff killing Private Wade of Company C, 24th Infantry, on Saturday night. Down in the segregated districts where white men prey upon the women of the Race; where the law winks at crime committed by them; where schools and churches are forced to be in districts where are houses of ill fame used only by white men who keep their "wenches." several soldiers wandered into this section. The uniform of an Afro-American is an eyesore to a Texan and for him to be seen in a district where white crackers "hold forte," where the bodies of Race women are owned by these "red necks," aroused their hatred. The soldiers on being invited to the home of one of their own women did not hesitate to enter. They had no more than arrived in the house when word was sent to the sheriff that "nigger" soldiers were down among their wenches. Ranger Barler and Almond, sheriffs, seven feet, weighing 210 pounds with two revolvers on their hip, accompanied by others of his ilk, came to the house and demanded that they leave and that quickly. The soldiers could see no reason why a white man could make them to dance to their music and hesitated about leaving. Almond then drew his pistol and Wade remonstrated, saying he was a soldier and citizen and had a right to be in the house after being invited. Such courteous language was too strong for the sheriff and with his hot blood, that a soldier to him was the same as a dog, opened fire and killed Wade instantly. A corner's inquest was held and the mockery of it all was that Almond killed the soldier in self defense and did his duty. It has been impossible to learn why it was that it was not made public that one of the white sheriffs was killed: but it is definitely known that one was sent to his long home. However, it is the custom here in this neck of the woods to suppress the fact when a member of the Race kills a white man, but the daily papers and the Associated Press always prints it that a Negro gets killed. In many instances a member of the Race gets his man and gets away but this never reaches the daily press. At any rate the fever is rampant here, so that if you must die, take one with you, the ultimate solution of white men unmercifully killing members of the Race.
Rev. P. J. Price Breaks Ground for New Central Baptist Church.
His Record Excels all others of Central Pastors.
Central Baptist Church elected Rev. P. J. Price, pastor in February 1913 to take charge of the church and its affairs. When he came to Denver things were in a chaotic condition, and by diligently working and vigorously applying himself to the knotty problems presented, he soon made his efforts tell. He increased the various auxiliaries to the church and to the old ones found, he gave new life numerically and financially as well as having added to them new features. A record of
REV. P. J. PRICE
winning souls. has been established by him, he, alone having in a recent spiritual revival, caused 14 accessions for Christ in 10 days. His attention is now turned to the new structure to be known as the "New Central" which is soon to become a reality. Rev Price, after many predecessors has been the first pastor to break the ground of the corner lots at 24th and California Sts. while not boasting of his achievements in life nor trying to seek fame and notoriety, he has every reason to feel proud of his accomplishments while in Denver. He believes in and preaches a risen Savior. We must congratulate Central's pastor for his success and progressiveness. He is a zealous man, with an enviable future before him. He has a chance of his life time to make Central Baptist the most popular church in Denver. Its location and facilities for easy access puts it in a class by itself. The Reverend has accomplished much good since 1913 thru the help of his loyal deacons and faithful members. The public likes to hear him speak, evidenced by the ever increasing crowd every Sunday night. The public will welcome the new structure and will encourage them by giving their substantial help.
Republican County Chairman Casts Off Nisbet-Booth. Be Not Deceived, Brains Will Tell. Non-partisan Means Non-partisan.
IN TIMES LIKE THESE, GOD GIVE US MEN.
In Wednesday night's Times April 12, Chairman Geo. W. Steele said that the "Republican organization will not take any part whatever in the campaign for a change of government in Denver". The opening of the Colorado building headquarters, according to local Republican leaders, means that the Republican organization will not support the Booth Amendment. This is a statement made by the county chairman of the Republican Committee of Denver. So as far as the Republican organization is concerned this fight is non-partisan. Then why are certain Negro politicians both men and women going around attempting to deceive innocent and well meaning Negro Republicans, that by voting for Speer you vote a democratic ticket? There are just as many Republicans, if not more supporting Speer than democrats. All business and professional men of ample means are behind him. When the politicians attempt to fool and deceive you by deliberately misleading, don't argue with them, let them fool themselves by you having a still ton gue in a wise head. While they are talking think of what Nisbet would think of them if he heard their statement and remind yourself of that play. In order to refresh your memory of three months ago, witness with me the entire latter half of the Birth of the Nation as seen by the Censor committee on that Sunday afternoon. Censors, you know those vivid scenes and subtle musical and electrical effects, with weird music devoted to the protraving of Colored men engaged in all sorts of vicious and despicable conduct toward the unoffending whites of the South during the civil war and the reconstruction period following. There were many mob scenes where Negroes, are pictured in the most revolting way attacking innocent and defenseless white citizens also scenes where Negro men are forcing their attentions upon beautiful white women and are engaged in all sorts of ridiculous and knavish conduct, not as individuals, but as a race. Recall the deep and lasting impression it made upon your already crushed and bleeding heart and your suffering soul that Sunday afternoon. Forget such an indignity so soon? As long as memory holds a place in our thinking heads, just so long will we remember the Birth of the Nation and its exciting scenes. Remember how you, filled with terror, disgust and disgrace tried in vain to eliminate the so-called smell scene; the library scene between Stonemason and Lydia Brown; and many of the offensive scenes between Stonemason and Lynch, as well as, every incident relating to Gus including the chase, the trial and the execution; especially the scene where the girl was seen screaming and flying to the cliffs from Gus with his beastial glaring eyes, forcing her in her extreme bewilderment to leap to her death. (O, God how can you ever forget that sight!!) The entire scene depicting the attempt of Lynch to force Stonemason's daughter into marriage and all the offensive Legislature scenes. Do you remember that you did not have a chance to vote your sentiments against these parts of the play? You were hindered, abused and ignored by the man who is now asking you for your support. Forget all else, but do not forget the answer and scowling look, Nisber gave Mes C.W. Buford causing tears to flow from one of our party, who immediately left the theatre. Will you give him a good "well done", thou good and faithful servant especially after he, without protest from the Jews, stopped the Leo Frank's picture and permitted the Birth of Nation to continue two weeks longer than scheduled time? If elected this time he will repeat and add more insults with trimmings to his long list of injustices against our race? By voting the Speer Amendment you will say to the world that you express your bitterest and supremest contempt for the man who permitted such a vicious play. This play is the product of the brain that believes that the white man is more honorable through disrespect, hatred and contumely toward a race of people who have been robbed and oppressed for more than 200 years, than the man who will encourage the race to be successful and cause them to realize that they are a desirable part of our citizenship. Such benevolent white men cause Negroes to help them help themselves and spread the doctrine of liberty and concidence among their fellows. These persons cause seeds of real patriotism fealty and kindness to spring in the hearts and in time of
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1916
need, the Nation, as well as, our beloved Colorado, can be certain of reaping a harvest of gratitude and devotion. This is the only generation we can reach and "the light that shines farthest shines brightest at home"
A vote for Speer Amendment means a vote for the saving of two doctors and 15 families and a vote for Booth-Nisbet robs them of their just hope, respectable recognition and material, help their present jobs, besides taking bread and butter out of the 15 families' mouths. Will you stand by and let your rights and benefits be sold for a mess of pottage, forsooth that a job might come so that a few hungry politicians maybe retained into office? No, that red blood which courses in the Negro veins will never permit you to stoop so low as to stultify your manhood by your indifference or silence, praise or a vote to an insulter of our race. It is better that we bite off our tongue to keep quiet than to have it the means of disgrace and humiliation by singing false praises of our enemies. Will you let a few men and women who represent themselves as Booth Nisbet followers, for a few dollars, set fire and burn down your house of liberty, manhood and self respect? What has each really done, including the spineless Editor who recently sold the citizen league out to Nisbet and his LEADING "RACE" journal, to help up or improve any person save themselves? Is not that the truth? Tell everybody anybody everywhere and anywhere, that you are working and voting for Speer and 15 Negro families. Let the world know that you are Negroes before election and Negroes after elections, that Negroes will look after Negroes and all friends who give us a man's chance. Lift up manhood and self-respect and strike down insults and Jim Crowism by voting Speer up and in and Nisbet-Booth down and out.
You will be just as much Negro after election as you are now before election, there fore, be yourself, for the race. Who will be a traitor to their race or a trimmer?
Stand up straight like a man You are strong only when you are yourself. You are persuasive and convincing only when you speak in your mother tongue, and of those things which you yourself do know Who knows better the pangs of insults, the suffering of humiliations and the pains of injustice and disgrace than you? If you walk on the stilts of other men of deception and evasive and treacherous actions or wrap yourself in the embroidered lace of timely silence and submission attempting to grin your way thru this world like some men in order to be popular. You will be as weak and impotent as was David the day he fitted on

SEGREGATION CASE BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Wash.—The validity of the St. Louis segregation ordinance will depend upon the decision of the United States Supreme Court in a case last Monday argued involving a similar ordinance in Louisville. The case will be argued by Pendleton Beckley, city attorney for Louisville who will seek to uphold the law, and Moorfield Storey of Boston will make the principal argument in opposition.Similar ordinances in Baltimore, Richmond and other cities also will depend upon the court's decision in the Louisville case
The Louisville segregation case came before the United States Supreme Court on a writ of error to review a decision by the Kentucky Court of Appeals which held the so-called segregation ordinance of the city of Louisville to be valid.
Upon the filing of the petition in the lower court, the City of Louisville intervened in the case to defend the validity of the ordinance. The counsel for the City of Louisville defend the ordinance in the brief on the ground that it is legitimate exercise of the police power and it applies both to white and Negro neighborhoods, that it places no hardship on the Negro, and is not a violation of his civil rights as guaranteed by the federal constitution. The case effecting the recent segregation laws of this city will come up in Judge Dyer's Court Monday, April seventeenth.
It is the general opinion of the leading legal minds, as well as the laymen, that a sweeping decision will declare the ordinances unconstitutional.
Saul's armor. Use the pebble (ballot at the polls) taken from the brook which flows by your door to protect, defend and preserve your rights and self-respect, and like David when you fight the Goliath of Prejudice, fight to win, for the race and not merely to draw attention to yourself. Every vote for Speer means another round of confidence in the race by other white men who are now waiting and wavering in their belief, as to whether it really pays to help the Negro. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Don't show ingratitude or a yellow streak, vote boldly for Speer and his and our friends. Water will seek its level, and brains will tell. If you are really fundamentally true at heart, let it speak for itself.

REV. ROBT. L. POPE, B. D.,
PASTOR.
Quarterly meeting at Shorter last Sunday was one of the most largely attended and the most inspiring we have witnessed for quite a while. In his sermon at the forenoon hour, Presiding Elder Ward swept everything before; Rev. Jas. Washington delivered a very effective discourse in the afternoon and Mrs. J. P. Watson spoke to splendid advantage in the evening. The quarterly conference was held on Tuesday evening. The reports showed that our membership roll stands at 732 and that the receipts for all purposes for the quarter were $1,929,26. The Apron and Neckie Tea which was postponed from last week will be held in the lecture room of the church Tuesday evening, May 2d. This social will be given under auspices of the Stewardess Board.
Our Easter this season promises to be bigger and better than ever. The decoration committee promises to make the auditorium a thing of beauty strikingly suggesting Eastertide and through the sermon by the pastor and the exercises of the day, will flow the sentiment of the Risen Christ. Our choir has made extensive preparation and will render the following program at the evening hour:

The wishes of the church has been recognized. All auxiliaries are expected to rally to the front May 14th, 1916, and all moneys raised turned over to the church on the above mentioned date. The public is congratulating the pastor for starting the new Central Baptist church. The melo-drama rendered by Prof Thomas on the behalf of the Men's Progressive Club, was very grand, Apr 13th, 1916.
The Association convenes with Central Baptist Church, Wednesday before the fourth Sunday in June, 1916. Miss Marie Green, one of our Sunday School teachers, met with a painful accident last week. She is much improved at this writing. The sick of our church are improving.

The Bible Class rally held Tuesday night was a great success. The women's class was guest of the men's class. A very interesting program was enjoyed, after which the men showed the character of their hospitality in no uncertain manner. This was an emphasis upon the kind of work these classes have been doing for the past few years. All interested in Bible study are invited to enroll
The men meet Tuesday evenings at 8:00 o'clock; the women on Thursday afternoons at 2:30.
Last Sunday morning witnessed the usual hearty response on the part of the worshipers, the pastor filling the rostrum. The subject, "The Odor of a Glorious Deed," was evidently enjoyed by all. At the evening service the Rev. H. Franklin Bray, formerly one of Denver's pastors, and for many years a friend of our pastor, preached a very interesting sermon.
The auxiliaries of the church are preparing for a spring carnival to be held at the last of May. Three evenings will be consumed, a program rendered at each, including a "Tom Thumb Wedding" and a drama by the young people of the congregation. Particulars will be announced from time to time.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
A splendid meeting of the Young Men's and the Young Women's Christian Associations was held at the Central Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. It had been planned some time ago that the monthly public meetings hereafter be held together. Dr. Charles L. Mead, pastor of Trinity M. E. Church, was the speaker. Taking his thought from a phrase in Dr. De Frantz's prayer, Dr. Mead delivered an address on the beauty and value of service. The address centered around the thought expressed in the Gospels which described the Roman soldiers who layed violent nands upon the Cyrenian coming in from the country and "compelled him to bear the cross of Jesus." He said that no doubt the sweetest thought that comes to Simon from his place in heaven is that he was instrumental in lightening the burden of Jesus, and helping Him in bringing about the world's redemption.
Dr. DeFrantz is leading in the contest now going on for new members, more than half the memberships brot in having been secured by him. The campaign closes the last of the week. An Easter service will be held next Sunday afternoon, the boys' meeting being held at two-thirty and the men's meeting at four. A feature of the men's meeting will be the appearance of a quartet of young ladies who will sing. The Easter address will be delivered by the Rev. Charles G. Williams, pastor of the Capital Heights Presbyterian Church. All men will be welcome.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
Miss M. Francis Cross, the National Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., will be the speaker at the Easter services of the Y. W. C. A., 318 25th Street at 3:30 o'clock, Sunday afternoon. Those rendering music will be Miss Milligan of the Central Y. W. C. A. and the Misses White, Russel, Nelson, Stafford and Jackson. Miss Beatrice Thrasheley will be the accompanist. We are very glad to welcome back Mrs. Pearl Fallings and Mrs. Helen Johnson. Dr. Charles L. Mead delivered a wonderful address at the joint meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A., held in the Central Baptist Church, Rev. Price, minister, last Sunday. An excellent program was rendered by the children at the members' meeting, Monday evening. Mrs. Samuel Bondurant was in charge. Mrs. I. B. Perkins made some interesting remarks.

ALABAMA'S PART IN METHODISM
Conference Delegates Favor Elevation of Dr. G. W. West.
MAN OF RIPE EXPERIENCE.
Success of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in the State, Coupled With Dr. West's Brilliant Career In the Ministry, Makes Him the Choice For Episcopal Honors.
Montgomery, Ala.-The forthcoming general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, to be held in May at Philadelphia, is a subject of nation wide discussion among Methodists. In view of the fact that a number of religious questions affecting the church will be gone into and a number of bishops elected to fill the vacancies caused by deaths and to fill the demands created for more bishops by the wonderful growth of the church since the last general conference at Kansas City, the conference will be extremely interesting.
This widespread interest is especially intense in the state of Alabama. Elders, ministers, loyal laymen and Christian workers are all making it the topic of the day in church circles. They are all of one accord that the time is ripe for Alabama to have a representative on the episcopal bench. Alabama has never had one of her sons so honored, and yet she is the real leader of the connection in many lines of church endeavor.
That an Alabama man may be elevated to this high and exalted place in this galaxy of noble Christian work.
P.
REV. G. W. WEST, D. D. ers, every conference in the state primary have pledged themselves to stand by their candidate, Dr. G. W. West of Montgomery. Dr. West is a man endowed with exceptionally high moral Christian character and rare intellect. Being born of slave parents, Moses and Elcy West, who have gone to their heavenly home, he received his early training in the public schools of his home. Later, when he reached manhood, he was not satisfied with this limited knowledge, so he hired private teachers and applied himself diligently to study for a number of years.
He was ordained elder by the late Bishop Galnes in 1888. Since that time the degree of doctor of divinity has been conferred upon him by the Morris Brown college. He has been presiding elder seventeen consecutive years, and with the exception of only once he has held each district five years. He has been elected consecutively to four general conferences. He led his delegation twice and the state delegation once.
That he is a loyal member of the church conference is evidenced in the fact that he has been a member of the Alabama annual conference all of his ministerial career of thirty years and has been present at roll call and benediction of each session with the exception of one, when illness prevented him. The fact that he has done so much for Payne university of Selma, Ala., and is now vice president of the executive board of that school offers most striking testimony of his love for education. He has two children, Dr. A. W. West, a leading dentist of Montgomery, educated at Knoxville college and Meharry Medical school at Nashville, and Miss Bertha G. West, who attended the Knoxville college and is now teaching in the State Normal school at Montgomery.
Dr. West is treasurer of the Alabama conference, which responsible position he has been re-elected to for eleven consecutive years. This alone proves that he is honest to the core. He is a gospel preacher of the first water.
Alabama stands third as to members and work and first in many things throughout the entire connection, and we are the only branch of Methodists in the state that will allow Negroes to be elected to the bishopric that has not had one of their number elevated to this high office. Dr. West is pre-eminently qualified to meet the demands of the episcopacy, and aside from great unrest amon. Both ministry and laity of the church in Alabama, they are praying for the elevation of this worthy man of their choice.
SHAPING YOUNG LIVES.
How the Sunday School Congress Is Increasing Its Usefulness.
By adding the department of education and industry and enlarging the sociological department the Sunday school congress, a forward movement that will convene in its eleventh annual session in Vicksburg, Miss., from Wednesday, June 14, to Monday, June 19, has scored another big success. The need of this new department and the demand for the enlargement of the second were apparent to the Sunday school congress promoters several years ago, but it was not until 1910 that conductors conversant with conditions and capable of handling such a department could be secured.
At the session held in Birmingham, Ala., the sociological department scored a big hit. The enthusiasm that was created in this one department was so high that the afternoons, in which the meetings were held, were declared too short, the auditorium too small, and the attendance far exceeded the expectations of the officials of the congress.
In explaining the addition of the department of education and industry the congress officials, with headquarters at Nashville, Tenn., stated that this is but in keeping with the advanced idea of blending education and industry in such a way that the Sunday school people of the present day
will be able to take them on. Practical study and physical application of education and industry are the aim and watchword of this new department of the Sunday school congress movement. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of this national organization, in making announcement of the addition of these two departments stated further that the Bible study period and the teacher training department, with the two new departments added, would give to the university and the college presidents, professors and pupils a splendid opportunity to come in touch with the great and growing Sunday school forces of the youth of our race in this country. At Vicksburg it is estimated by the secretary of the congress that fully 200 diplomas from the teacher-training course, as it has been pursued this

past year, will be announced. March last at Nashville alone fifty-five graduates received their certificates and diplomas.
In speaking of the efforts of Mr. Boyd as secretary of the congress N. B. Dodson, president of the New England Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. convention, says: "The announcement of the departments of the congress does not surprise me in the least. Henry Allen Boyd is one of the most energetic and farseeing young business men of our race. He knows how to get the best results in any movement which he leads. From a weak and halting position nine years ago he has infused strength and vigor into the membership of the Sunday school congress until at the present time its influence is nation wide and its work for religious education stands without a peer in the history of Sunday school progress among the members of our race in this country with out regard to denomination."
LIGHTFOOT FOR DELEGATE.
Colored Republicans of Atlantic City,
N. J., Demand Party Recognition.
In speaking of the political situation
at Atlantic City, N. J., the Public
Ledger in a recent issue says:
A committee professing to act for
the 3,300 Negro Republican voters of
Atlantic City has made formal
demands upon Republican district leaders
for the selection of James A. Lightfoot,
a Negro attorney, as a delegate
to the Republican national convention.
The declaration says:
"There are 12,000 Negroes in Atlantic
City who pay taxes upon more than
$1,000,000 worth of property and $500,000 a year for rent, besides spending
$1,500,000 for food. We wish to call
the attention of white Republicans to
the fact that there is not an elective
position, except magistrate, constable
and freeholder, to which a Negro candidate has been elected."
The statement lays stress also upon the fact that Negro voters have the balance of power in the Second congressional district and virtually threatens that the Negro vote will be diverted from regular candidates in the commission election in May unless Lightfoot is made a delegate at the national convention primary.

IS IT WORTH WHILE? SAFETY FIRST, A GOOD LESSON TAUGHT.
If tomorrow, either Mr. Speer or Mr. Booth were elected Mayor of Denver, after election, we would be the same Negroes as we were before. The changing of officials would not change ourselves, the some unfavorable conditions surrounding us might change. So if we were friends before election, why cannot we continue that friendship through, even though we may disagree most radically. White men disagree, contend, and yet remain friends; they will be seen at gatherings even now on the friendliest terms. At election times Negroes who happen to champion opposite propositions put so much "feeling and self" into it, that they become downright enemies for life, when they don't receive even the political crumbs which fall from the table of the politicians who get the fat jobs with fat salaries. This should not be. Intelligent men can always disagree and be friends, especially if one or the other has placed himself in a public position to be shot at. When he puts himself in a certain position everybody will not agree with him, because it is him and hence comes the contention to show the weakest points in each other. So people who are not of the temperament to stand criticism, truth or otherwise, should stay out of the game or leave the feelings behind. In this connection we call attention to the occurrence of Saturday afternoon when S. Wade Robinson, in an agitated condition, and who is a member of the Nisbet-Booth committee, went armed up to see Lawyer Townsend at his office about certain political statements alleged to have been made by Mr. Townsend. All of this serious and extremely dangerous pastime grew out of the insulting acts of Mr. Nisbet. Suppose Mr. Robinson in his agitated condition, after arming and going up to the lawyer's office, had killed him; how much money, or concern would either Mr. Booth or Nisbet manifested in his behalf? No, Mr. Robinson would have been tried for a cold, deliberate murder, which is full of humiliation, disgrace and expense. Suppose Lawyer Townsend had killed Mr. Robinson, who unceremoniously invaded his office with a gun, a trial, disgrace and terrible expense would have been the consequence. How much money would Mr. Speer and others show? So, you see, if either party had acted, the Negro race would lose more than it gained. What profit would it be to a race to win recognition and respect in politics and lose prestige along another line by disgrace and crime, besides a divided community of sympathizers and friends of both. The Star wants Speer and is trying every way to defeat Booth, Nisbet and Carlson, yet, always with the idea that our race will be helped and not hindered. We accord the opposition the same privilege. We want to be manly, even if we call a "spade" a spade and a "thief" a thief or a double crosser or a trimmer by their right names. We accord the opposition the same privilege. So why should we be enemies? Already certain people have started a fight against us in certain lodges—we know who they are and we laugh at them. All we ask is that they give the work to a colored printer and stay within race lines. We write this sentiment from our heart because, right or wrong, we know that both concerned have their friends and sympathizers and our community should not be disturbed by rash action from anybody. It does not pay in the end. Taking everything into consideration, is it really worth while to go to such limits? The Star is still hoping that you will vote for Speer as a rebuke to Nisbet and all Jim Crowers
DID JOE RIVERS SELL OUT CITI
ZEN'S LEAGUE?
We learn that there was a strenuous meeting at the club headquarters last Tuesday when a fight developed in a resolution swallowing Nisbet. Things were warm for a while and it looked like a split up. Two wqmen and about 16 men were present. Many complained of the president's action and newspaper reports, but things were jammed through. How do they expect to convince all of Denver to swallow Nisbet where only a bare majority can compel the few fighting men in their league to swallow him? It's too sad!!

UNCLE ABE AT IT AGAIN.
That silly shally political circular which originated with that illustrious virate has given them much agitation and disappointment because it proved to be a boomerang—it did not get a chance to pull on its political bouts before it was dead—dead—dead! In any city where there are as many Colored voters as there are in Denver, they would not allow any set of men who would lead, to profit by the wrongs the white people heap upon the race. What would you think of the Colored people of St. Louis if they would now vote for any man on the republican ticket in that city, who had taken an active part in having the Jim Crow law passed? Do you know that the same kind of white men are here in Denver and have been circulating on the quiet, petitions in East Denver, along Franklin street, getting signers among white property owners to present to the Council after the election, if the Booth-Nisbet Amendment carries to keep colored people from renting or buying property in that part of the city? How long will it take that sentiment to spread over the whole city? If Nisbet and his friends are elected to the Council the Colored people will have no protection against the efforts to segregate them. Certainly no appeal from the Colored people would be heeded by Nisbet and his crowd. Then, you know his record, he votes against our rights when appealed to for justice.
Don't you remember that Nisbet's under-sheriff led the mob which held meetings in "Old Colony Hall," to intimidate and drive Doctor McClain and family from their home? You know that, that mob did not cease to bull-doze Doctor McClain and his family until the Colored people held a Mass meeting at Scott's church and defied the mob, and offered to defend McClain and his family in their right to live any place they choose. Not till that showing was made by the Colored people did Nisbet's undersheriff withdraw at the head of his mob, saying: "If McClain lives there he won't have any good luck." Where were Sheriff Nisbet, the Chief Peace Officer of the County, when his undersheriff was violating the law and heading a mob to injure a citizen who had committed no wrong except to provide a respectable home for his family. Why did he not protect McClain? Why did he not call off his undersheriff and tell him to keep the peace? His actions there are consistent with his actions since, when he issued the "black and tan order," and when he voted to insult the Colored voters to allow the Birth of a Nation, over the protests of the best men and women of the city, including the ministers. Had he known he would so soon need the Colored vote of Denver, he might have acted differently. The Messengers union" are now trying to induce the Colored voters to pocket the repeated insults to the race by Nisbet and vote for the Booth-Nisbet Amendment. Those men know they make the appeal that those who vote for Speer and Democrats that they are only applying the party lash. They know the Colored voters are usually republicans—hence the cry of party. This is a non-partisan election. No party has a ticket in the field, but if the republican party had a ticket in the field which would be as abnoxious as the one with Nesbit on it, the Colored Voters would do then as they will do next month—vote against all the "Negro hating republicans and teach them how to treat the consistent element of the republican party." You can't scratch the name of Nesbit or any other name from the Booth-Nesbit Amendment. To defeat Nesbit, you will have to vote for the Speer Amendment. Let us all do that cheerfully on election day to win womanhood and manhood its rights. The issue is one of race preservation, race advancement and not one of party. B.T. W.
