APPEAL TO NEGROES
Afro-American Press Association
Sees Perilous Times.
An Address Issued In Which Denial In Made
That This Is "a White Mans Coun-
try'-AIob Spirit De-
plOred.

Louisville, KY, June 30.-At the an
nual session of the Afro-American
Press association, held here yester-
day, strong address dealing with
the race question was unanimously
adopted for issuance to the country
at large. The address calls on the
people to enforce the principles of
good government in 1.-The present
crisis in the history of the Afro
American people, when systematic
and thoroughly organized movement,
begun in 1868, is working with mali
cious and malignant energy to utter
ly destroy the civil and political
rights of those for whom we stand
in some part as spokesman. We re-
sent the reiterated statement that
this is a white mans country 1t
was made in its inception and devel-
opment by all of it's people, irrespec-
tive of race, and the federal constitu-
ton specifically places all of its citi'
zens on equality before the law.
"The persistent effort which has
been made and is being made 10
nullify the suffrage guarantees of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the federal constitution is fraught
with as much danger to the peace
and security of the federal union as
was the effort to hitch slavery upon
the constitution of the country prior
to 1860.
"We again direct attention to the
effect produced by the license of the
mob spirit: we do this not because
we are the victims in most part OF
the license. but because it has become
a national problem with which the
nation in its public opinion and its
laws must deal or ultimately 20 down
to ruin in the mad overflow of an
archistic passion and fury. 1t is a
national problem in which we have
only coordinate interest"
