president Of the organization The
sessions OF the league were held In the
Zion Baptist church. Of which the Rev.
Dr.. Edward w. Moore is pastor.
Judging from the earnestness Of the
speakers and the field workers who
have studied the political situation
very closely as II relates to the two
great national parties, the influence Of
the league is going to be felt In no un-
certain way in the coming national DO
litical campaign
The situation IN so far as the action

go on record as favoring either Of the
presidential candidates chosen by the
