the great work which he is doing for

he following are some of the
principles for which the Colored Cit
izens Protective Association, an or
ganization of colored men and women
recently organized for the civic pro-
lection and betterment of their citi-
zenry of San Francisco, stand for:
The principles we stand for and ad-
vocate in season and out of season:
We believe that humanity is a unit,
and we advocate the cause of right
and justice for all sorts and condi-
tons of people, women children and
men. EFrf
We believe in an Almighty God and
we are unalterably OPPOSED to the
sovereign will and poMse vested in
one human being, man or woman.
We believe in inspired and divine
race leadership and we are uncompro-
misingly opposed to specially hired
or charitably bribed leadership for
this reason: any man who can be spe-
cially hired and privately paid to lead
the people can be bribed to misiead
the people.
We believe that colored men in all
parts of the republic should vote and
be allied with any political party they
desire, and we strongly advocate TAX
ing an active part in politics and vot-
ing at all elections.
We believe in a broad franchise for
women and men, and we advocate the
same qualification for both, because
it is just, right and fair and will work
for the success of human progress and
good government.
The object of the Colored Citizens
Protective Association is: To seek the
truth by turning the searchlight on in
dark places; to oppose false teachings
Oakland sunshine., 1915-07-31

be written or spoken; to closely ex-
anime books written by colored men
who pose as race leaders of their peo-
PIE and to impartially, but fearlessly
and publicly criticize the same; to
seek jobs for colored men in San
Francisco, such as clerks, policemen,
firemen, street sweepers and other po-
sitions; to look after the interest and
have the rights of the people defend
ed in the courts of law; to expose
the facts concerning fake white and
colored so called reformers.
We appeal to the women and men
to join us in crusade to change pub
lie opinion which at present is so
much against colored people. Let
us oppose the leadership of all spe-
cially paid leadership. We can abol-
ish them.
