One among the most famous OF his
documents which bears his name was
entitled ''Rhe way OUT this is the one
that gave him so much prominence in
his party and made him United State

fail to show wherein he has done sim
Gle thing even for those whose cause it
was said he would champion. tits fact
though never the less he looked out
number one and provided his children
with good paving positions. When
congress convened in extra session on

was nominated for Consul to Calais

ten G. Fl. J. Taylor declining to ha-
We anything more to do with tho Ne
gro National Democratic League.
Astwood has been Chairman of the
Executive Committe He says in his
leteer of resignation:
The methods which are being ad-
opde dy certain negro Democrats and
thlr LOCUS organizations are OF such a
nature that no self-respecting uegro
can afford to associate with or CONT
nue. in them, The action of the Afro
American Bureau of Organization;
headed by a reckless and unscrupnl-
GUS chief the bold and vulgar man
ner in which colored officirls, regard
less of party or sex, are being taxed
and forced to contribute of their sm-
all earnings against their own volu-
ntary free will, is 0 spectacle 80 hum
iliating that it renders negro Democ-
racy to be a cesspool OF corruption
The action of the Congressional
Committee, be adds. Sin sustaining
an organization under the conditions
openly condemned by Senitor Faulkner

showing. owing to the fact that tho indi-
vidnality OF the candidate and not his pol

small plurality, and X. G. Wilson, Repub-

When Chairman Babcock, OF the Repub-
lican congressional committee. left the
Republican headquarters tonight, he said
the reports received during the day gave
the Republicans go out of $50 members of
the house beyond peradyenture, while
there was possibility of securing twenty
seven additional members. Mr.. Babcock
also said that his information leads him
to believe there IL possibility of securing
three more members from Alabama. two
from Illinois. one each from Iowa. Kansas,
Kentucky, Nebraska and South Carolina,
three from Missouri. one from Arkansas,
three from Louisiana. and three from
Texas. IL these claims are realized it will
give the Republicans 257 members. or
majority of ninety-rine members. Ac-
cording to the claims of the Repu blicans
they will be able to secure the votes of at
least thirty OF the forty-four states. in case
the next presidential election is thrown
into the house, as they will have either
the solid delegations or a majority in each
of the delegations from that number Of
states.
Midnight-Chairman Babcock says:
1.-THE returns indicate that we have
secured control OF the next senate
by majority OF / to 3 without
counting the vote of North Caro-
lima. which has undoubtedly elected
