NEGROES TURN FROM PARTIES
TO INDEPENDENT LEAGUE.

Notable was the gathering OF the
Independence party committeeman
and ward workers last night. The meet.
ing was called for the Independence
headquarters In the Security Build
ing, Fifth avenue and Madison street
but the crowd was so large II was
necessary to adjourn to vogelsang,s
banquet room, which the enthusiastic
gathering filed and also crowded the
wide pGssagewayS
Almost as striking as the general
enthusiasm was the presence of a
number OF Negro men who came with
tidings from their race to the new
party, tidings which told of the ap-
preaching revolt OF the Negroes from
the Republican party and their allie
glance with the new political organ
iEation that offers them an equal ODD
Dortunity.
After an announcement Of details
Of Saturdays picnic. the audience de-
manded speeches.
William Johnson, a weIl-known Ne
gro speaker, was introduced. He told
of the wrongs his people had suffered
from the Republican party. and how
they had nothing to hope for at the
hands Of the Democrats. They did
not come seeking social equality, he
declared. All the Negro wanted was
political equality. and they would ere
ate their own social equality among
themselves.
I'VE think, We hope" he concluded,
the Independent party viii be our
redeemer."
L. A Newly. a Negro lawyer of
Chicago. followed in similar strain.
Edward Strauss, Western organizer
for the American Federation Of Labor,
declared that Bryan and his follow
ers were nothing more than crafty
politicians. who, afraid Of the hold
that William Randolp Hearst had
upon the hearts Of the working peo-
pie. had adopted the antiinjunction
plank solely In the hope OF foollng
the people into voting for Bryan.
DR.. Gibson. chairman of the picnic
committee, praised the magnificent
work that william Randolph Hearst
had done in the behalf Of the common
people. Brief speeches also were made
by ]. c. La Bell, candidate for the
assembly from the Fifth District. Col
n s. Boynton, Frank Leonard and
W d. Casey. Among the wellknown
Negroes present was w. H. Smith OF
