WHAT THE NEGROES WANT
A Sternly Practical View Of the Con-
test for District Attorney.

To II EDITOR or TIVE SUN-Sir. II
the present District Attorney is elected
does he ,ntend to appoint a member
of the negro race as an Assistant D.s-
trict Attorney?
II would be well for negro voters to
keep In mind the fact that the present
District Attorney is a protege OF the
present Governor and his attitude re-
garding Afro-Americans must be uu-
equivocally stated before we pledge to
him our support. After all, political par
ties are OF little nseQucuce II they
are or no use TO those who support
them. and II Is this principle OF repre-
sentation which is the paramount issue
for the negro voters in deciding what
candidate is entitled to their support.
Every nationality and race receives
recognition except Afro-Am, ricaus. and
It is time that this condition OF affairs
cease; and 1t will cease If the negro
voters regardless of party come to-
gether and demand something besides
a mere stenographic representation in
the office OF the District Attorney OF
New York county. 1t is our duty to
support regardless OF party the man
who will give us representation In an
official capacity In that Office. Process
servers and s~tenographers and ~janitors'
Jobs are not enough. We have highly
educated and competent young negro
lawyers coming from the leading schools
OF tho East, and they are competeut
and Wa demand that tho party wanting
our votes, the candidate desiring our
support, declare himself regardless o,
party on this point,

surprising. Have these Michiganders

cinctly gives expression 10 the opinion
that all intelligent men hold with

THE passage Of the La Toilette bill
in the last House OF the last session OF
the last Congress was n supreme act OF
folly.
"Its impracticability and unwisdon.
have been fully demonstrated
1T has already done much harm and
will do very much more II 1t is allowed

unconditional repeal OF this impossible
and hurtful statute

this otherwise admirable utterance
one important observation. II fails
TO remind Its readers that Woodrow
WILSON played n capital part in the
enactment of this impossible ami
hurtful statute" In spite of the warn.
ings ANA pleas Of competent advisers.
OF this fact the Press, we are conf.
dent, is Informed, and we have no
