will explain the persistent support given
the candidacy of Z. p. McCabe (colored)

over this state and into other sections. 1t
is secret political organization known as
the First Grand Independent Brotherhood.
None but those having negro blood in
their veins are admitted. and secrecy
is sworn by every member. The members
declare political war on the whites,
demand equality in everything, and will
accept of nothing less. The plan is, it is
reported. to fill oklahoma with negroes
and to capture the state and local govern
ments. 1t is understood that the agita-
tion among negroes in the Carolinas to re-
move to Arkansas and Mississippi is upon
the advice of the leaders of this move
ment, so that large co!ored population
may be near oklahoma, and ready to
move into Oklahoma when it becomes a

cal party. but demand place at the white
mans table and equal privileges in the
