COLORED DEMOCRATS


WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-- Members OF
the Negro National Democratic League
axe determined to have the Afro-Ameri-
can bureau OF organization of the Demo-
cratic Congressional committee abolished,
and Robert q. Still, chief OF the bureau
and his colleagues are equally determined
that the bureau shall be- maintained.
The former assert that the league Is the
OILY organization required to meet the
demands of the colored voters Of the
country and to harmonic all factions OF
negro Democrats, and the latter strenu-
ously insist that the bureau is a neces-
sary adjunct to the committee. In the
letter sent by the league TO Senator
Faulkner, chairman OF the Democratic
Congressional committee, III. G. Atwood,
chairman OF the executive committee of the
league, said today that the only question
at issue is the advisability of having but
one national organization. 1t is certain,
he said, "that the two organizations can
not exist without conflict, and as one can
do the work there is no need of two.
The bureau is local, the league National;
selection needs but a moments consider
alton OF the interests of the party at stake.
Continuance of the bureau cannot fail to
engender strife and factional opposition"
MIR. Atwood called on Senator Faulkner
today to urge immediate action ip ABOLISH
ing the bureau.
