AGAINST WASHINGTON FOR LEADER

Boston. Sept. 1.-The Suffrage League. of BOs-

utions declaring:
Inasruch as Booker T. Washington has ElOrifed
the revised constitutions of the South. has minim-
lied the Jim Crow outrage, has attacked the
wisdom of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments
to the Constitution. has deprecated the primary
importance of the ballot. has preached to the col
ored people Of silent submission TO ntOlerabe con
ditions and makes mis- people a bywOrd and laugh
ing stock before the world he is not a TT leader
for the colored race and no President who recoE-
nzes him political leader should receive the
colored vote of the North.
Therefore. since President Roosevelt has given
him charge the appointment of all negroes OF
whatever State in the Union, and has made him
the negro adviser as 10 all policies affecting col
ored Americans in the interests OF our race, We
call upon President Roosevelt 10 dispense with Mr..
