THE PARTY LABEL.

1t is hardly necessary to state that
the Negro vote will go to Mr..
Hughes, because Negroes have been
consistent Republicans. They cannot
support Mr.. Wilson, because of his
Segregation of Negro employees"
and his catering to Southern senti-
ment, which is anti-Negro. But
there are many good men in the Dem
ocratic party who are our friends.
Some are in office and their record on
Negro questions stands on par with
their Republican colleagues. It is
more matter of sectionalism than
partisanism. The Northern Demo-
crat is often preferred to the South
ern Republican. Notwithstanding
that we want to increase our Repub-
iican strength in both branches of
Congress; we should not follow the
label and vote for candidate, who
is tagged as a Republican and repudi-
ate a present office holder, tho a
Democrat, who is on record as being
for equal rights for all Americans. DR..
Cyrus Northrop, a supporter of Pres
Taft, said that eff Mr.. Wilson. proves
to be a good president, he would sup
port him for reelection" DR.. North
rup is for Mr.. Hughes. We, as Ne
gro voters, must put the character
and record of the candidate above any
party label.

forceful presentation of conditions
impresses on her hearers the horrors
of lynching, which she calls "the

that all might agree upon and hold as
vantage ground from which to work
for new cOnquests by colored Amer
leans.
Every phase Of the race question was
discussed. The following report was
unanimously adopted:
Your committee submits the follow
ing report for your consideration: The
Armenia conference believes that its
members have arrived at virtual una.
nimity Of opinion in regard to certain
principles and that more or less def
mite practical result may be expected
from its deliberations. These princi-
pies and this practical result may be
summarized as follows:
First.-The conference believes that
all forms of education are desirable
for the Negro and that every form Of
education should be encouraged and
advanced.
6econd.-It believes that the Negro.
In common with all other races. can
not achieve its highest development
without complete political freedom.
Third.-It believes that this develop
ment and this freedom cannot be
furthered without organization and
without q practical working under
standing among race leaders.
Fourth.-It believes that antiquated
subjects Of controversy. ancient sus>
picions and factional alignments must
be eliminated and forgotten II this. or
ganization Of the race and this prac-
teal working understanding Of It's
leaders are to be achieved
Fifth.-It realizes the peculiar diff
cuities which surround this problem in
the south and the special need Of un
derstanding between leaders of the
race who live in the south and those
who live in the north. 1t has learned
to understand and respect the good
faith, methods and ideals of those who
are working for the solution Of this
problem.
Sixth.-The conference pledges itself
to the inviolable privacy Of all its de-
liberations. These, Conclusions. how
ever. and the amicable results Of all
deliberations of the conference are ct
subjects for discussion In the colored
press and elsewhere.
Seventh.-The conference feels that
mutual understanding would be en-
couraged If the leaders Of the race
would meet annually for private and
informal discussion under conditions
similar to those which have prevailed
at this conference.
