I desire to thank my friends for what they did for me in my campaign. I feel very grateful to them and take this opportunity of thanking them. I do not get the support that I expected and should have gotten. Of course that was due principally to the lack of organization among Negro voters. I feel that if such organization had been perfected as is sublimely characteristic of all other nations we have been no chance for my defeat. This was the best chance that the race has had for twenty years to go on record as a potent factor in politics in Polk County and we as a race should feel keenly the importance of perfect organization.

Senator Root of New York delivered a passionate eulogy of the achievements of tho Negro race; Senator Newlands declared in favor of race separation; Senator Bradley re minded his colleagues that southern Negroes unselfishly protected the white women and children of that sec- tion during the Civil war; Senator Hitchcock could see the appropriation misused to give Negroes jobs merely to spend government money.
