ORGANIZATION.

The present crisis should place the
Negro where he belongs. Had the
Republicans wanted to deal fairly by
the Negroes, they would have given
them representatives on the State
Central Committee, one from Duluth,
one from st. Paul. and one from Min
neapolis. This Is the apportionment
that we ask. They could have coun-
ty organisation and elect a committee
of three, the Chairman of the County
committee to be a member of the
State Central Committee. This will
never be done without a Readjust-
ment Of affairs. The wheel horses
will fight to the last ditch, and the
machine will help them, but the re-
suit will be that Negroes will be re-
cognized. At present Negro has no
connection with the state committee
