Endorsement of a League of Ma
lions with reservations was occom-
plished in the Green-M Mccarthy or
black and tan convention. This con-
vention, like the regulars, gave no
instructions as to presidential choice.
The Wood men are claiming the ma
ljority, but Harding, Johnson and
I.owden are known to have supporters
in the delegates to go to Chicago.
There was much singing in this
convention out under the trees, praise
for the old Abraham Lincoln Repub-
lican party and severe announcement
of the "autocratic" Democratic party.
The Negroes sang the old songs with
zest such as GLORY Glory. Hal
lelujah," and other melodies dear to
the Negroes heart. Among the reso-
, lutions adopted was one opposing the
, practice in certain instances in both
State and national representation
which reduces the voting strength in
| the States without a corresponding
! reduction in the national representa-
ton in Congress. Another resolution
] adopted deplores the state of unrest
alleged to exist in the Nation and
condemns the 'inefficiency" of the ma
l itional Democratic administration in
dealing with the great economical
} problems which have arisen. This res
olution also condemns the Democratic
national administration for its ''us-
) t.rpation of power belonging to Con-
gress and it's failure to present
practical working plan for the re-
able living conditions"
, Both conventions had the usual
committee on organizations resolu-
TONS credentials and delegations.
They formulated the reports adopt
ed by the convention.
: Practically all of the speakers in
, the black and tan convention severe
J ly scored what they termed the
/, steam roller methods" used by the
State executive committee in denying
representation to their delegates. They
condemned 1t unreservedly.
