Elaborate Headquarters and System Of

The Roosevelt committee headquar-

The office system is as full of red tape
as the White House. The caller is
met at the outer door by a negro
usher and is given a seat to await his
turn. At times the .vestibule to the
Offices has been literally alive with
colored Republicans eager to make
trouble by starting contests. One day
eleven negro preachers swooped down
on the committee from West Virginia.
The first room after entering the door
is occupied by Senator Dixon, who
sees but few callers, but is busy with
the ones that count. Mr.. Dixon works
behind closed doors, and the strip of
red between him and the average call
