PRESIDENT'S STIFF LETTER.

President Coolidge, in a letter made pablic. recently, rebuked. Charles F.. Gardner of Fort Hamilton, N.Y., for suggesting that the President should exert his influence to prevent the nomi- nation of Charles D.

It is of some concern whether a negro is allowed to run for Congress anywhere, at any time, in any party, in this a white man's country. Re- peated ignoring of the growing race problem does not excuse us for allow ing encroachments. Temporizing with the negro whether he will or will not rote either a Democratie or a Repub lican ticket, as evidenced by the recent turn-over in Oklahoma, is contempt ible. Leaving out of consideration the manis Eccles Iest impropriety of the President intrad-

Mr A. E. Edwardi ing himself in a local contest for Mr&Mrs T. W nomination, I amamand to receive such a letter. During the war 500.000 coloured men and boys were called up under the draft, not one of whom sought to erade it.

They took places wherever assigned in defence of the nation of which they are just as truly citizens as are any others. The suggestion of denying any measure of their fall political rights to such a great group of our population as the coloured people is one which, however it might be received in some other quar ters, could not possibly be permitted by one who feels a responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican Party
