Alfred B. Cosey Explains Objects of
the Afro-American Council.
TO WIPE AWAY ALL PREJUDICE.

Mr.. Alfred B. Cosey, national organi-
made an address last night on %sThe
Afro-American Council and It's OBJ
jects," before the Baptist Ministers
Council of New Jersey, at the Beth
any Baptist church, Newark. He said
in part:
t'The National Afro American Coun-
Gil was called into being by the neces-
sity of the times. It's mission is to
ameliorate, in so far as it can intelli-
gently, wisely and practically do so,
the deplorable conditions of our
brothers in all parts OF the United
States, especially in the southern Sec
ton.
LIVING UNDER A SHADOW.
'"The entire co1ored population of the
South are living under the shadow of
a condition which they did not create
and from which they would gladly
emerge, if encouraged by the loyal, con-
servative Afro-American of the North,
East and West, who enjoy civil and
political rights in common with other
American citizens. 1t is the aim and
ultimate purpose of the National Afro
American Council to incorporate all
existing organizations as well as those
that are yet to be organized into the
body Of its membership, without inter-
fering with the constitution, rules or
bylaws of any organization except to
demand that said organization shall
be strictly Republican and work in
harmony with the national body,
which declared in toto for Republican
principles and the nomination and
election of President Roosevelt.
FIGHT CoNsERvATIvELY.
"It is further the object of the Coun-
Gil to fight battle of humanity, in
conservative, intelligent, firm and
skillful manner, until public senti-
ment in all parts Of our Republic will
by common consent accord the Afro
American every right guaranteed any
