Bishop Alexander Walters Urges Negroes to Vote with Bryan
Henry Watterson released an advance address for Bishop Walters to the Democratic National Headquarters in New York. Walters attacks Taft and Roosevelt, accuses the lily white movement of eliminating blacks from politics, and says Wright’s War Department appointment seeks Democratic support. Walters says Booker T. Washington wrongly accused him of urging black voters to Bryan, but he would vote for Bryan and urged blacks to split their ticket and judge the issue.
