NEGROES HAVE A PLAN
To Select Colored Officeholders for
the President,

Washington, Jan. 26. - President
Roosevelt on Saturday received a
call from William Pledger, a we'll
known negro politician of Georgia,
and Bishop Walters, a prominent
negro chnrchman, who desired to
discusss with him the general sub
ject Of the appointment of negroes to
federal offices. The former Is act
in president of the Afro-American
Council, the leading negro political
organization of the country, and
Bishop Walters is chairman of the
executive committee of the council.
They told the president they
feared he was being embarrassed by
the many pending claims of negroes
for political preferment, and indi-
Gated their intention, after consulta-
ton with the negroes throughout the
country, to call a meeting of the
executive committee of the Afro
American Council, to be held IN
this city, for the purpose of devising
some means of regulating the claims
of colored men, so as to relieve the
president of the consideration of the
eases of those who are not entitled TO
such consideration.
The executive committee consists
of three members from each state.
1t is proposed to suggest to the ex-
ecutive committee the creation of a
committee of prominent negroes, the
duty of the committee being TO pass
finally upon the claims of negro ap-
plIcants for federal appointment
before they are presented to the
president.
1t is pointed out that this, or some
similar plan, would relieve the
president of much annoyance, and
the promoters of the idea hope to see
it carried into effect. The president
did not indicate to his callers what
his views respecting their plans
were.
