Baltimore, Jan. 26.-The Demo

Negro disfranchisement are said to
favor law which will shut out all

the provisions Of the fifteenth amend

they believe the fifteenth amend

Farmers and Workers Conferences

In increasing numbers each year
for the past eighteen years there are
gathered at Tuskegee men and wo-
men whose lines have not been cast

come together to, relate their failures
and successes, to encourage the deS-

many of them have suffered, the
Misunderstanding fight they have made
to overcome almost insuperable OBJ

DR.. Washington exercised pres

he instituted these annual confer

there seemed to be neither excuse nor
reason. Taken up as most of them
are in canyassing for the elecnoaa

for the prestige of "nubbins' who
wish to be considered full ears of
