The 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-
tions of people, women, children and
men.
We believe in AN Almighty God and
we are unalterably opposed to the
sovereign will and power 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-
ciaHy hired and priv -tely paid to lead
the people can be Dribed to mislead
the people
We believe that iored men in all
parts of the republ 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 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
