POLITICAL OPPORTUNITIES
New York Posi-

To the Editor of the Evening Post:
Sir:
l read last night letter criticising
former Senator Hardwick of Georgia
for upholding the right of the social
lists to retain their seats in the New
York assembly, and this gentleman
stated that the rights of. the Negro
in the state the senator comes from
are trampled on in the same way and
that Negroes in the south are denied
the right of suffrage.
This statement is not true. Negroes
in Georgia and throughout the south
are not disfranchised and have the
same rights they have in the north.
Georgia requires the payment of a 50
poll tax to entitle citizens to vote, but
the Negro will not pay the tax and
great majority of them never go to
the polls. The Negro himself is re-
sponsiL.e for his condition. He is
actually worse off in the north than
in the south. No republican candi-
date could carry the state of New
York without the Negro vote Still
they never have any representation;
they sit silently by, see the republican
party nominate a complete white
ticket and vote it straight.
There are enough Negro voters in
Philadelphia to swing the city one
way or the other and enough in the
state of Pennsylvania to change the
state, but with its large Negro vote
there is not single councilman in
Philadelphia nor representative,
senator, congressman or state official
in that state that is a Negro. AS
long as the colored voters of the
United States submit to this they will
have no representation, and they
have only themselves to blame. Con-
ditions in the south are better for
the Negro than they are in the north,
for in the north they can and do vote
but are denied any elective offices by
their own party.
EQUAL RIGHTS.

RED CROSS GIVES ENDORSE
MENT TO NEAR EAST RELIEF

'The Red Cross is not operating IN
the Near East, and the responsibility
for expressing American sympathy
for those stricken peoples is carried
entirely by your committee. 1t is
earnestly to be hoped that the appeal
for funds for Near East Relief will
meet a widespread and open-handed
response from the American people. "

Nnlte memESrS OF rellglOuS order
were present by invitation.
To the welcome backoning Of the
open door, a social phrase strongly
suggestive and backed up by real hos
pitality, the event was opened by Rev.
J. Henry Clark, who acted as master
of ceremonies. Casting formalities
aside and declaring that no toastmas-
Iter had been appointed, Rev. Clark
launched out in becoming remarks
and soon filled the place as a venite
appointee. The reverend gentleman's
natural ability drew audible and
unanimous applause as an instant rec
ognition of his many talents as hu-
morist, satirist, ETC., and his remarks
stamped him an idealist of the
brightest order-sane, human and,
withal, pleasing.
The Rev. Geo. Cole led in prayer
invoking divine blessings on all and
double portion Of the Holy Spirit
on the Worthy Matron of Prescott
Chapter, O. E. S. Following the intro
duction of the guest of honor, Mrs.
c. E. Mallory, associate matron of
Cactus Chapter, fittingly coined. an
address of welcome. Mr.. Paul Bass
rendered a soulful solo entitled ,"Give
Me Your Heart" Mr.. Bass, a resi-
dent of Buffalo, N Y, is the son of
Mrs. E. |. Johnson, who was at one
time an opera singer of repute. She
has been dangerously i'll Lut is re-
covering. Mr.. Bass upheld the family
reputat ion and his cultured voice in
stantly won the hearts of all and
they responded with becoming ap-
plause.
Mrs. E. l. Johnson, worthy matron
of Cactus Chapter of Yuma, though
visibly affected by her recent illness,
spoke feelingly of her devoted attach
ment to Prescott's worthy matron,
whom she had known since childhood.
Events that ordinarily would be con-
sidered commonplace, became gilded
with beauties of devoted friendship
and one could almost see the tableaux
of the past as it interspersed the
scenes Of the present One was i'm
pressed with the fact that true friend
ship is deathless thing-yet more
impressed that it is a living thing.
Mrs. Jessie Bell Snowden, wife of
N. T. Snowden and secretary of Cac-
tus Chapter, rendered an instrumental
solo which showed her mastery over
the waves and a slumbering musical
genius that her friends insist that she
will fully awaken and is yet destined
to lead her to fame.
Mr.. Greenway asked the blessing,
a dainty luncheon was served and the
toothsome viands disappeared with a
that proved their excel
lence. Mrs. ]. Henry Clark, assisted
by her skillful aids, Mesdames Staten,
Cole, ct al, was highly complimented
and all regretted when the hour of de-
parture came. The sale of cake and
ice cream netted tidy sum for the
new church. All admitted that the
speeches and eats were splendid and
departed in good spirits.
Mrs. Tabron's response to the hon
ors bestowed on her was absolutely
impromptu. She insists that she is
no speaker, yet eloquently draws par
allels that scintillate with beauty. AS
one of the prominent members of
Peoples A. M. E. Zion church of Pres
colt, Mrs. Tabron is highly esteemed
and her influence grows apace in So
cial and ecclesiastical circles.

Committee Will Try
To Elect Colored
Men AS Congressman

folloWlng is an appeal sent out by
the National Negro Congressional
Campaign Committee, of n Wes;
1S1st street, New York. to ycolored
people throughout the country:
1t is plainly apparent that solution
Of many Of the problems that con
front the Negro in America is insep.
arably interwoven with the principle
Of racial representation in the Ma
tional Congress- Sporadic endeavors
to win this merited recognition, hon
estly founded and intelligently fos-
tered, have repeatedly failed of sue
cess. Prevalent opinion throughout
the country leads to the conclusion
that united, constructive and deter
mined effort should be made at this
time to elect members of the Race TO
Congress. 1t is conceded that such
efforts, properly founded, will have
the whole-hearted support of the
masses.
In this thought the National Negro
Congressional Campaign Committee
has been organized, the sole purpose
being to assist in nominating and
electing Negroes to Congress. Neces-
sarily an exhaustive survey of the re-
spective congressional districts must
be made before concrete steps are
taken. The steps to date in no wise
obviate equal participation in the
proposition by all who are interested.
An effort is being made to reach the
patriotic and Raee-loving element in
the Race before proceeding further.
At later date it is proposed to call
a National Conference of our men and
women of leadership. In advance of
same we are making every effort to
learn the sentiment of the respective
localities, and this letter is addressed
to you, at the instance of mutual
friends, in the thought that your in
terest in the progress of the Race will
lead you to lend your cooperation.
Will you advise us, at your earliest
convenience, of your views in the
above respect, and whether through
your membership we may have the
benefit of your experience and coun-
sci.
Yours, very sincerelye
THE NATIONAL NEGRO CON
GRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN COM
COMMITTEE, NEW YORK.
Robert Lewis Waring, Chairman.
w. D. Johnson,
Chairman Publicity Committee.
Fredrana L. Davis, Secretary.
As the purpose of this committee
is to bring about National Member
ship Committee; to crystallize ma
tlonal Negro sentiment in favor of the
ballot for our own candidates; to fur.
ther the interests of the Negro Race
by assisting any Negro in his efforts
to be elected to the Congress of the
United States; to assist in electing
Negroes to the law-making bodies OF
the Union, we make this appeal To
you.
You know, as we know, the many
treacheries practiced upon the Negro
voter by the party to which we have
always held allegiance. In the past
we have always supported and voted
for and helped to elect those persons
placed in nomination by the Republi
can Party, regardless of the candi-
dates avowed stand relative to our
people
The time has now come for us to
place members of our Race in nom
ination independently, in the various
States of the Union, should the requ-
lar party nomination be denied US,
thereby bringing to the attention of
the people of these United States, and
to the world, that the American Negro
is determined by united effort 10
come into his own.
