RESOLUTIONS oISSoLVING THE
COLORED CITIZENS NON-PAR-
TISAN LEAGUE OF DEN
YER, COLORADO.
Denver, Colo. Sept. 81, 1920.

Whereas, The Colored Citizens Non
Partisan League of Denver, Colorado,
was organized for the purpose of a
more general diffusion of political in
formation and for a broader partici-
patton and discussion of political is
sues, party platforms and candidates
than is possible within the narrow
limits of strictly partisan procedure,
and
Whereas The Colored Citizens Nom
Partisan League of Denver, Colorado,
has accomplished much during its
existence to stimulate the Negro citf-
zens in this community with clearer
understanding of their political rights
and has by its unselfish and indefat-
igable efforts secured places of honor,
trust and emolument for Il number of
our fellow citizens and has earned for
itself the respect and good will of the
people generally, and
Whereas, We believe that the Col
ored Citizens Non-Partisan League,
under its name and style, can be OF
no further use to its members, nor to
the community, because of the coming
of another political organization, ma
tional in scope, similar in name nut
having nothing in common with the
Colored Citizens Non-Partisan League
of Denver, Colorado. And, as it has
ever been the purpose of this organi-
zation to promote the interest of its
members and friends and to embarrass
none, we believe that the interest of
all is best conserved by dissolving the
Colored Citizens League of Denver,
Colorado. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That on and after this
date, Sept 81, 1920, the Colored Citi-
zens' Non-Partisan League of Denver,
Colorado, shall cease to exist as "A po-
litical organization and that its con-
stitution and laws are hereby an
nulled and without force and effect.

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

The first fall meeting of the com
mittee of management was held last
Tuesday evening, and was one of the
most important meetings held Tor a
long while. The meeting was called
to examine the blue-prints of the pro-
posed new building, which have re
Gently come. The committee went into
every phase of the matter, carefully
examining them in every detail. The
blue-prints provide for every phase OF
the work, with three stories and base
ment A meeting of the entire mem
bership and of the public in general
will be called on the first Sunday
afternoon in October, at which the
blue-prints will be on exhibition so
that all way see and examine them.
The committee feels mighty good over
the plans, and are happy that the mat
ter has been pushed so far.
But another bit of good news was
reported. For long while it has been
felt that boys work secretary was
necessary for the welfare of the boys
work. Word was received from the
New York office the first of the week
that Harry Townsend, assistant boys
work secretary of the New York City

King and Sims are still cOntcndlng
for the croquet mastery. They met on
Friday evening and again ON Tuesday
morning. In the Friday contest. King
took the thing clean away from Sims,
and raised his lead from 10 to Is.
Sims made brilliant plays a-plenty,
but they were offset by wild and aim
less shooting He had better control
of himself in the Tuesday morning
game. however, for he flayed King by
n score of six to three, cutting down
Kings lead to 10.
Sims and Stripping had fierce con-
test with Bell and BlakemOre Monday
evening The first game was taken
rather easily by the latter players, who
early in the game got the advantage
of their opponents. In the second
game Sims and Stripping got strong
lead and maintained 1t until near the
end of the first half, when their OPP
ponents began gaining on them. This
gain was kept up, although Sims
pressed on and became Il rover. After
that the outlook seemed dark for
Bell and Blakemore. BY skillful ma
neuvering, however, they pressed on,
finally winning the game just as
STRIPPING caught position within the
center on his return home.

Grand Juries would inevitably have re-
suited in sending election officials and
other persons to the penitentiary if
they had been tried promptly on their
merits, but through the action of
judges in granting unreasonable con-
tinuances and the acute pressure of
political influences in favor of the de-
PENDANTS at every turn of the road, no
penitentiary sentences have been OBJ
tanned in any of them, with the result
that such offenders have come to be-
lieve that they are immune from
punishment. Unless the voters can be
so aroused that they will choose judges
and other public officials who will give
needed cooperation in the prosecution
of those who commit ballot frauds, the
practices which make elections a farce
in a great number of precincts in the
City of Chicago will soon become so
widespread as to determine election
results in advance, without regard to
the action of the voters, as has been
charged in connection with the last
primary.

This evidence it has called to the at

thorough Grand Jury investigation Of
these and other frauds alleged to have
been committed at that primary.
During the last four years the Citi

public attention to the increasing prev
alence of illegal voting and ballot-box
stuffing. In our investigation during
that time we have broken through the
crust" in more than half dozen
wards, disclosing almost Identical con-
ditions in all of them. The evidence
thus gathered has been supplemented
in at least three cases by the confes-
sions of judges and clerks that they

numbers of illegal votes. Two of these
cases were declared by Mr.. Charles

These provinces pay exchange rates

addition to which they pay Toll.
Now 95 per cent of the calls sent
or received in the above named prov
inces and others not named are to or
from Chicago.
And the toll bills mount up as
everybody who has experienced them
knows
Everything in the provinces is
charged for-and such charges.
For instance, a party in Oak Park
desired to talk to Garfield 1888. By
mistake the party calling gave the
wrong exchange and was given Ked-
Zie 1888. The party at KedZie 1888
! promptly answered and told the party
calling that they had the wrong ex-
change. Only a minutes time con-
sumed
Then the right exchange-Garfield
S2S3-was called for and the right
number, strange to say, came to the
phone at the first tap of the bell.
The Oak Park party received the
following toll bill on October 1:
Kedzie 1888, toll 55 cents, war tax
| 10 cents.
Garfield 1888, toll 10 cents.
This is a plain, truthful sample of the
| kind of toll expenses Chicago people
| in the provinces pay to the Chicago
| Telephone Company.
| All tolls for telephone within twen-
| ty miles of the Chicago City Hall,
| should be abolished.
There are progressive and intelli-
| gent men at the head of the Chicago
| Telephone Company and they can
easily see that the abolition of tolls

edict was based upon a finding that
the value of the street railway prop
critics was $159, ,113, ,114.56, with earn
ings that will net the company less

A few days ago Corporation Counsel

the commission allow the surface lines
controversy to remain in status quo
inasmuch as the people had elected

which promised the commissions
abolition.
In effect, the order was the commits
sion's response to the city's representa-
