The election Negro voters organized the Non-Partisan Voter's League and announced the intention of participating in the election. This announcement brought about much confusion in the ranks of the whites, and much time was consumed in an endeavor to ascertain whether or not the supreme court decision to affirm the right of Negroes appeared at the polls Tuesday morning, they were told that "this election cannot be cannocked." Women and men were turned away, and it is alleged that there were in many instances insulting. According to reports here, members of the Non-Partisan Voter's League are preparing to take the party's stance in selecting funds to prosecute the case Negro Educators In School Survey; PV Teacher Named WAITERS REFUSED TO SERVE McLEAN Elizabeth City, N.

Church, Republican political leader here, are contained in stories published in the newspaper. The church contains accusations made by G. Tom Taylor, rejected candidate for postmaster of the city, to a committee of federal agents from Washington, engaged in investigating the various charges that have been made in the last month. The burden of Taylor's rehauled charges is that Church demanded that he not only pay him $1,000 a year from his salary, but that he also sought to force Taylor to pay him $1,000 a year. He also incurred as expense in making various trips to make Taylor's appointment possible. George Cole, a former federal agent, job, also told the agents that Church demanded $2,800 from him for the trip. More important, according to Memphis papers, is the charge that the Church was to compel the rehelicity County Republican committee to pressure to compel certain men to break an agreement which the Church was to the effect that Church, Taylor, and the late Harry True were Tenth district Republican committee and delegations to national convenings to affecting the district organization. TRUSTEES TOLD TUSKEGEE FUND OVER $8,000,000 Tukkee Institute, Ala.—(AKN—) The board of trustees of Tukkee Normal and Industrial Institute held its annual spring meeting here a few days ago, in connection with an announcement of the budget of $600,000 for the coming year was authorized. This is an increase of $10,000 over that of last year, and the board commends Dr. R. E. Moton, president of the Meyn displayed in remaining within the budget during the past two years.

Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Despite constant activity by Southern legislators to combat any disposition upon the part of certain prospective presidential candidates upon any fear of likeness whatsoever toward black American citizens, there seems to be reasonable evidence for the presumption that these candidates are not greatly interested in the Nigroe' welfare or that they fear to make public expression of any statement reflecting their attitude on problems that directly concern black citizens. One month ago the Associated Negro Press mailed five questions to a selected list of presidential candidates. The list included Hon. Herbert Hoover, secretary of the department of commerce; Sen. Charles Curtis, Sen. James Watson, Hon. Frank O. Lowden, Sen. Frank B. Willis, Sen. Thomas J. Walsh, Gov. Alfred E. Smith and Gov. Albert Richie. The first five names are those of Republicans, the last three of Democrats. Sen. Willis has died since the questionnaire was submitted. Press Association Holds Big Meeting In Louisville, Ky. No candidate has no far answer to the questionnaire or the letter which accompanied it. The letter from the student to the Prism Press to each candidate read. President Ben Davis, who was reelected, in a strong address to the nation, called for the Negro as citizens, urged enforcement of law, pledged support of business segregation, defended segregation, disfranchisement, lynching, and urged congressional appointment in conformance with the fourth amendment. A program for securing new advertising for colored newspapers was unveiled. Milwaukee, Wiz., defended Houston, Texas, in the fight for the next congressional seat.

We view with alarm the recurrence of the lily-white movement in the United States, the principles of the Republican party and call upon all patriotic Americans of both races to stamp it out.

McGRE and CONGRESSION To the Republicans of Texas: On May 5, all Republican electors in the state will vote for their different precincts for the purpose of electing delegates to the Republican county convention, who will in turn go to the congressional and state conventions and elect delegates to the convention. These delegates will elect state leaders and nominate candidates and vice-president of the United States. We in Texas are concerned only with Republican party state leaders. We are concerned only with Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach of Seguin, Texas, whether to be a candidate or are forced into brittle political conflictes of the Republican party, fair play and human right concerns. Wurzbach represents true Republicanism without any frills, and he gets his delegates from a majority of the people in the 14th congressional district, the only Republican congressman elected.

Creeger is the king-pin of the lily-white organization of Texas and the South Carolina organization of the Republican party, and in fact is not a Republican. In 1929 he announced that he would be the principal of the Republican party, and in fact is not a Republican. In 1929 he announced that he wanted to see Warren G. H. Harding nominated for and elected president, while white men were leading everywhere and that his pronouncement was stupid and demagogue! He was not nominated and elected by the Republican of the 14th district to congress. Creeger secretly opposed him, but he was not opposed to this opposition. In 1922, Creeger formed a coalition with the anti-kuhlers to fight the prohibitionists and kuhlers, at the same time proclaiming himself and his paper machine owners. --- "The Policy Blues" and that mean number, 4-11-44 down, mooning blue, sung by the cele- ron who now makes records only for Victor, of the best blues singers in the world. own before you hear this record half-way this list is a "natural" . . . the kind ends like.

Law Does Not Apply To G. O. P. M. Much ado is made by the Creamer machine to form a Republican election bounty of Texas. True Republicans should not be deceived by this Creamer regime. The fact is that all haws on the statute books require a general election to govern all political parties, casting for their candidate for governor and a general election. There are no haws on the books of Texas attempting to govern all parties polling over 100,000. Creager's "Lily-White" Vote In the last general election the Creeger "white man's party" polled 20,000 votes, nearly 20,000 of those who cast by Republicans in the 14th district. Therefore the election laws of "white man's party," or, for that matter, any political party polling election less than 100,000 votes. Republican Party Disorganized The Republican party, no far as the election laws of Texas are concerned, is disorganized and does not function. The Republican party organizes its authority to act from Republican voters and by authority of the Republican national committee. The man in the person of Eugene Nolte, and a state executive committee that oversees the operation with the exception of a few Republican county chairmen elected by the people here and yonder, there is the Republican party organization in Texas. The Party Is Rulled By the People. The right is inherent in the Republican people or voters of Texas. The Wrong Way Dress Your Lips ...

Willis, together with the crew of those who served in the early days of the preparation, goes the credit for the selection and canvass of those who served in the organization. Despite the fact that the system was originated outside of Texas for the occasion, according to statements made during the campaign by Mr. DeFausta, the work in Dallas was the best, ever done in all of the course of his work in drives and the largely attributable to it. Whites Share Ethnicism Never before in the history of India and probably not in the whole world, was the hearted cooperation between the races been seen as an evidence during the colonial period, and was also engaged in a drive for funds to the amount of $1,000,000. His resounding support and leadership of the day and members of that organization led to repeatedly the application of the grants of the drive among Negues. The effect upon the civil government, the state government, and the board of directors of the central association, of which the Monthly Negues Fund was the nominee of the decision to give $100,000. But as the drive progressed, they discovered that the pleasure with which the Negues were participating, received the news of the progress of the Negues in their work. Many of them declared that the inclusion of Negues in the work is a significant thing in the whole effect. Six National Records Design Dallas broke six national records during the drive, according to the data. It is the greatest "amount of cash ever recorded"; it pundred the amount of cash in the country; it mucked its objective sooner than any other city, its percentage of the money it pundred more gold star men than was ever true before, and its pro-campaign machine has ever been true.

Dr. Bloem substituted alien red blood cells, taken from a pigment, for disease germs. He was able to do this because the germs were many outside substances, especially proteins, very much as though they were inside the rabbit immune to the injection of these blood corpuscles by suitable injections of pigment blood corpuscles had no effect on the rabbit; they were injected by a cytotoxin by cells in its blood.

RACIAL RIGHTS IMPERILED IN UNITED STATES —Scott Washington, D. C.-Dr. Emmett J. Scott, member of the Matthews and the national committees, calls attention to the need of a bureau or organization of some character here in Washington to point out, when necessity arises, the character of proposed legislation affecting the interest of the twelve colored people in the United States. Many an innocent-appearing bill, he says, is introduced from time to time by the House or the Senate of the United States, having as a legal possibility the set-timenabled design for the benefit of a particular group or class of people in immunity designed for the benefit of a particular group or class of people in 300 national organizations now maintained at Washington for the purpose of detecting the introduction of a new form of Recently a bill was introduced in congress which would have removed the record of deeds. If Doctor Scott had not succeeded in obtaining the papers of the country and influential individuals and organizations, pointing out to them the result of such success, the country would have became of the fact that word was promptly used to color new cases of the country and the officers of the leading organizations of one kind and another that the effort it now happens that there was introduced in the senate of the United States on February 16, 1923, the SSMI 6263 ("to limit the jurisdiction of district courts of the United States"). While the bill primarily appears to be designed to re-enforce the laws of the courts, it is true, nevertheless, as courts, it is true, would so seriously affect that the would seriously affect the colored people of the United States. If such rights could be in effect, the courts should bring suit to enjoin action against any city or state legislature which would impose such legislation when such legislation violates the federal constitution as it affects colored people of the United States. If such laws are in effect, the terms of this bill and such cases will be referred to state courts for adjudication. If *d* right under the federal constitution should be lost or violated, the state courts for adjudication has been passed. American citizens of color will have to go to the state courts for adjudication of persecution, for instance, could not be interfered with at all by the federal courts. If this legislation should pass, the state courts should dress before a tribunal and in a community where the offense was actually committed, the bill would mean the breaking down of the present legal bulwark of the colored American. It would also be possible should be taken once to prevent such legislation. Recent supreme court decisions such as the Louisville segregation case and the Texas primary litigation the Alabama peace decisions, all would have been decided by state courts. A similar legislation arises in the future, it would be limited, by the state bill, to decision by the state courts. A "SQUARE DEAL" CAN YOU DO THIS?

Divorce was the first com- TOPIC—Christ the marriage relation and intended it to be indiscreet. Moses did not originate it ee authorize it, but suffered, limited and regulated it. It was intended it was of the hardness of the hearts of the people. The existence there- and practice of divorce indicates the hardness of the hearts of the people. The real cause is. There is no more real evidence of the blighting effects of sin in the world than the increasing number of dis- (28) "If a woman shall put away her husband and carry another she will be in danger." 11. Concerning Children (v. 15, 16) The union of the male and female cultures, according to God's sexual norms, will be the foundation of family life. The normal issue of such a union is children. In connection with the divine law of marriage, the Christian will show his estimate of children and show his interest in them. Christian will esteem it a high and holy privilege to train them for Him. Goosec: the property of the Lord and will esteem it a high and holy privilege to the touch of Jesus (v. 13). It is incumbent upon all parents to seek for their children personal contact. 2. The parents reduced by the disciples for bringing their children (v. 13). They seemed to that attention to children was beneath the dignity of Christ. 12. Concerning Children (v. 14, 15). He was dispensed—really adult at their words. He is dispensed today even those who are hindering their own growth. (1) "Suffer the little children to come into Me and forbid them set, so that they may not learn the kingdom belongs to the children. The kingdom belongs to the children. The kingdom shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter therein" (c. 15) Those who count themselves morally blessed, and cast themselves upon the King, really enter the kingdom. 4. Jesus' action (c. 18) He took the children in His arms and blessed them and blessed them. (2) "In the Suffer of children, where Christ's spirit children have great care" God Is at the Door God is knocking at the door of nations today for more recognition and more spiritual power. And the fact that he is still here, Wise nations snip this knock from the hand of the Mighty, it is a sure thing that they will crumble into the dust—Oscar Barkholder. Need of Faith Draw high to God and he will draw high to you. Act with it you do not feel it—Alexander White. Office Phone, Preston 6350 DR. WALDO J.

HOOVER'S TEXAS POWER DENIED BY HARRY BECK The Houston Informer is in receipt of an open latter from Harry Beck, prominent Washington Republican leader of Dallas, regarding Hoover clubs in Texas. Mr. Beck's letter, which reiterates no explanation, follows in full. Plenty of Presidential Timber Dined By Postmasters Afterclose investigation, I find that Creager, in company with two or three other federal appointees, and citizen names, was feasted and dined by the postmasters and a few other federal appointees; gave out food to the Hoever being nominated on first ballot; left town and when Creager left the Hoever club left with him. Creager, in addition to the publicans get in session, Creager and his lily-wachine will be ignored and Texas Republicans will send to Congress a delegation under the leadership of Congressman Wurzach, who will be a candidate that Northern Republicans can then use without trouble. "The most monumental political decision that Hoever ever made was to appoint a lily-watee white overlord of Texas and the South, to manage his campaign, but Republicans should worry." Creager's Methods Assailed "In Texas an expression of Republican electors in precinct, county and state is important, but a reason of the fact that the regular party organization has been put into the hands of two men, R. B. Creger and B. R. Creger, of the Republican national committee. "Through their manipulation, Republican voters, white and black, or by others, is important for delegates who attend primary and county conventions, are denied and estopped from voting for such delegates as represent their choice, in the precinct, county and state conventions.

MRS. WINSLOW'S STREET FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVEN paper organization ought not, and will not be endorsed by the Republican national committee or any fair-minded man. Dummy Members "In most counties the Republican county executive committee has on hand the two nominees who represent the Republicans vote and from 60 to 85 dummy-numbers from boxes where there are no Republican; and from 60 to 85 dummy-numbers from some one designated by him as an executive. Thus, regardless of the wishes of the committee present, a temporary role of the county commission is made up of the two nominees who he out-votes the real members of the so-called committee by voting 60 or 80 percent of the different voting heads in the county. "Now, if Republicans had voters in or at all these voting boxes, no compromise scheme or the application of such a law to party action, but the law would have been out of ten of these voting boxes; yet, the Republican county chairman yes, the Republican county chairman yes, a box chairman from these black boxes cropped by law, and by reason a member of the county Republican executive committee, whose office would make up a temporary roll of the county convention. The county chairman, the county commissioner, practice their_framework over diregregated political schemes, denying the people a right to elect county conventionals and conventional conventions. This is how precinct and county conventionals are Other Details "In voting boxes throughout the state where the great majority of voters are usually two factions, which send contempt delegations to the county convention and commissioner by the Republican state executive committee, composed of 31 men, by the same method as the chairman and the no-called county executive committee composed of 16 men, by the same method as the dummy members.

BARNES TEXAS NEGROES ORGANIZE TO GET POLITICAL VOICE Submerged For 20 Years, They Start Move That Puts Republicans In Predicament. Both factions of the Republican party in Texas are facing an unexpected predicament. The Negro vote has suddenly loomed up as a possibly troublesome factor² in the context for which the Republican National Convention. For more than twenty years the Negroes of Texas have been submerged politically. They have been barred from both the Republican and Democratic parties, not that any unlawful measures were taken to keep the Negroes out of the disbursement from political activity was accomplished primarily by the refusal of the white leaders of the Republican party to give them office and state conventions. In the few contests that arose the claims of the white leaders of the South Texas were a few counties in South Texas where the Negro population exceeds the population, usually called the white party³, were formed, and the word passed around among the Negroes that did not attempt to vote in the elections. It was without open protest that the white political leaders of the Negroes Organize League No longer, however, are they willing to have their right of parliage with the Negroes organized what is called the Independent Colored Voters' League of Texas, a leader of his race, is president, and C. F. Richard of Houston, another influential Negro, is secretary. One of the leaders is to "hay definite plans for a course of political action and partisan activity on the part of Texas Negroes in conventions and elections of 1928." Preliminary to this a poll tax payable in the largest number of poll districts in Texas by Negroes, resulting in the largest number of poll taxes in the state by race. The holding of a poll tax receipt is a necessary qualification for voting and the Negroes are in posing a challenge to these certificates to wield a controlling influence in Republican county affairs should they seek to exercise This fact is causing R. B. Greener, leader of the so-called regular Reagan-Littleton, leader of the opposing faction of the party, no little uneasiness, and he has been sending a Howe delegation to the international convention, while Littleton is opposed to Howe and wants the party to be more liberal in Blair and other Negro leaders of the party have not expressed them before to whom they prefer for president. Negro Majority Possible During Creager's several years of party politics, the Negroes had political affairs. Only a sprinkling of black men should be allowed to fight. If they should now, through organized effort, swarm into the pre-1960s white population, they count the white Republicans, it is declared. It is known that neither the Negroes nor the Negroes come back as a factor in party politics of the state, but they can prevent it to be seen. It was with the enactment of the poll tax law and the party primary elections in 2012, the public policies in Texas was broken. Before that time he had an important voice in the election of delegates to the Republican Party, other matters affecting the party interests of this state. During the period that Colonel E. Green was Green, the Mrs. Hetty Green, was at the head of the Republican party in Texas, the senators and elections without being under any kind of restriction. Even Colonel Green was subjected more or less to the party leaders of the state when it came to selecting delegates to national convention. That regime passive and generational generation of Negro voters have no personal knowledge of it. They are now demanding what they assert their constitutional political rights.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE MARK. NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS—BOOSEVELL. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1928 REPUBLICAN POLITICS GETTING HOT! With R. B. Creager, Republican national committeeman from Texas, handing out interviews and holding conferences in Washington, D. C., predicting that the 26 delegates from this state to the National Republican Convention will be for Herbert C. Hoover as Republican presidential nominee; with Harry Beck of Dallas, former leader in the ill-fated "black and tan" movement among Texas Republicans, issuing a public statement denying that Texas Republicans are for Mr. Hoover; with William M. McDonald, the enlightened political sage of Fort Worth, rushing somewhat belatedly into print and attacking, the "lily-wish" policy of the Creager-Nolte regime, at the same time challenging the party orthodoxy of Mr. Hoover and calling upon Texas Republicans to back and support Congressman Harry M. Wurzah of Seguin; and with Congressman Wurzah on the eve of marching a whirlwind speaking and organization campaign in Texas—truly it begins to appear as if Republican politics in Texas will soon reach the boiling point. Sensing just such a situation and the resultant schism and split, 200 more colored Texas held a statewide conference in Dallas on March 24, and urged the Republican leaders of this state to work out a plan to unify the Republican factions within the confines of this commonwalth; but, judging from the newspaper articles now appearing in the various publications of the state, both daily and weekly papers, the die has been cast and the fight is on! It will be interesting to sit on the sidelines and watch this fight between the Republican stalwarts, led by General Creager, Colonel John C. A. Littleton, Harry Back, "Bill" McDonald, and such notable scramblers on the other side. The Informer suggests that Republican voters throughout the state organize their local forces and attend the precinct conventions of the party in large numbers on Saturday, May 5, 1928. Under the law, if no call is issued for said precinct conventions, the voters of the precinct have the right to assemble in mass meeting, elect a chairman and secretary, enroll the names of the voters present and elect delegates to the county conventions. Without becoming involved in the intra-partisan fight, now being waged in Texas, The Informer suggests that colored Republican exercise their suffrage rights and attend and participate in the Republican precinct conventions, which will be held in the state Saturday, May 5, 1928. HOOVER STILL LOOKS GOOD TO US The recent courageous and patriotic action taken by Secretary of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover, in abilifying racial segregation and discrimination from his department at Washington, D.C., merely bears out what the Informer has stated in these columns heretofore regarding Mr. Hoover's Americanism, Republicanism and patriotism. Despite that fact that charges have already been made that Mr. Hoover was merely "playing politics" in the issuance of this edict putting an end to this evil system and pernicious practice, the Justice Department has not filed a game and, do years ago, what Mr. Hoover has done recently? Despite the fact that racial segregation in several of the government departments at Washington, has been repeatedly called Office. 8 a. m. to 6·p. m. TELEPHONES PRESTON 1243-7560 The Houston Informer Butler, chairman of the Republican national committee, and other national party leaders, both in and out of congress, Mr. Hoover was the first one to act decisively and courageously. In its support of Mr. Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination, The Informer has always regarded the commerce secretary as a man possessed with an independent mind; courageous, fearless, able, honest, just and efficient. The country needs a president who is not a politician, but statesman and economist—a man with the courage of his convictions—and no man in America fits this bill better than Herbert C. Hoover. In his administration of affairs in the flood area of the Mississippi River, Mr. Hoover showed that he believed in justice and fairness to all American citizens, and it is a matter of record that his official acts in this situation virtually wrought the second emancipation for thousands of Negro peons in the delta section—black men and women who had been held in abject bondage and serfdom on the large plantations of the affected region. It required much moral courage and fortitude to issue an order abolishing a practice which had been in vogue in this and other governmental departments since the Taft administration; for while the Wilson administration sought to perpetuate this species of racial segregation, it had its birth during the Taft regime; and four American presidents—Taft, Wilson, Harding and Coolidge—placed their official stamp of approval upon this civil and military practice by refusing to issue an edict calling for its abolition. Despite the fact that President Coolidge has public declared that he does not "choose" to run for president in 1928, which indicates that he has definitely decided to retire from public office and will not need the votes nor influence of certain political groups. He has also indicated that he would put an end to racial segregation in the various departments and bureaues of the government at the national capital, up to the present hour the chief executive not only has not issued such presidential proclamation or order, but he has not even said one word against this species of segregation and discrimination. Mr. Hoover credit for his big act, whether he is our choice for presidential candidate or not; for no man ought to be so narrow and prejudiced that he can not accord the proper tribute to a man who performs a distinct and signal service, even though he might differ with said man on many issues and matters. Despite what others say and write in their opposition to Mr. Hoover's nomination, the secretary of commerce still looks good and is well known.

We are of the opinion that this organization, and all our minority organizations, should work together with the National Negro Business League, instead of trying to hold separate and distinct meetings. We are also aware that many yankees, bankers, undertakers and small organizations the attendance would be sufficient to obtain reduced rates; and, too, the acquaintance with the Negro business would be more representative of the various vocations and professions can attend such a national gathering, and no minority organization would be carried out, with two or three joint sessions during the convention, and no minority organization would be the result of such arrangement. This is an age of mergers and combinations, and no minority organization can sensible Negroes can not realize this patent fact and get together, our cause is well-ugh help and help.

Colored Louisville "stacks up" nicely in a business and commercial way, having two colored banks with the same name, and deposits of $800,000 and resources of $1,000,000; three building and office sets; several insurance companies with resources amounting to $252, annual income of $788,000, and $120,000; force, giving employment to 850 race members, with salaries amounting to $1,000; Negro newspapers in the city, claiming a combined circulation of 30,000; several well-appointed drug stores, cafer bars shops, etc.; while the city larger in population, a city much larger in population. That Kentucky is a "jim-crow" state when it comes to railroad access and street cars or buses; the street cars or buses in Louisville, and interracial clauses are selenized in this seating arrangement, which again proves that the argument so often advanced by white Southerners is true, and the support of "jim-crow" cars and buses borne out in the Louisville situation.

Homely Philosophy REMEMBRANCES Have you not known the thrill and the gentle warmth that steals over one with the coming of an unexpected surprise from a friend almost forgotten, perhaps—to know that you are still alive. Nor does this baskenstall sensation depend upon the greatness of the gift; nor does this gift bring an ambush of joy. So they Political Disillusionment BY KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. It has required forty years to disillusion the Negro concerning his political status. A whole generation has had to pass before this disillusionment became complete. In a spasm of moral delirium, the nation gave the Negro political political status. These measurements were adopted to put this purpose into effect. This represented a major change in the dominant American sentiment for the moment. The passion of equalism generated. The passion of equalism generated. The construction regime was not reworked by the deeds of the North. The stalking of the bartering of Rutherford B. Hayes; the stalking of the residential paign. I wrote weekly released by distributed throughout the From that day to this day lines of political alignment have tended to diverge, with rivers then along the ancient battle line of freedom which divided the country, and longer is the rights of the political slogan, but the power of money has become the main force. Hon. Henry W. Blank, senator from New Hampshire, told me that the Republican party has the last attempt to the Republican party to secure the guaranteed rights of the Negro. The "black man" campaign, led by state landowners, "need never again look to the federal government for protection of the black person behalf." White politicians and statemen have reached this conclusion for four years. The Negro is just another race. Candor compels the political analysis to declare that the Negro is not without political undoing. The Negro political undoing has failed to support every candidate in his behalf. His fatal fate in his behalf. He has been too shifty to trim his sail to the favorable wind. His chief ambition, to win the presidency, was victorious band wagon. Did he not sell out John Sherman, his stout advocate of the victorious inducement. It was Tom Reed who through the Force Bill, and who through the Bitter treatement history of congress. And yet the Negro delegates prevailed in the toast, to this staunch advocate of human rights. Senator Foraker risked more than any stateman in the race. He was black man. But when he became candidate for the presidential nomination, man, preferred another who had a risked nothing and downed little. When the acid test came in Roosevelt's Progressive propaganda which made more than any movement more relevant, the success of the black man's lost political prestige, it was the Negro vote that gave him the green pass to political reaction. To complete the list of a recital, during the last campaign, when John W. Davies, the Democratic candidate, took the most advanced grounds for the fifteenth amendment of any presidential candidate since Garfield, the Michigan governor, and John F. Kennedy. Mr. Davis was the only nominee, within my political reclection, who has ever penned a book penned had the courage to respond to the query, if he would enforce his own amendments, in the affirmative. It has now come to pass that she has penned a book stand up for a race which will stand up for itself. There is no encouragement to espouse the Negra's cause with this awful list of indictments that have been filed, folly, the race has lost all but all every vengeance of political prestige which LET US ORGANIZE AND SHOW THE REAL VOTING STRENGTH OF THE RACE IN TEXAS The Dallas Express: OPINIONS
