our viewpoint. Mr.. Shillady was one
Of the best secretaries that. that or
any other organization ever had. He
possessed tireless energy and took
:'lsks, which led to his summary pun
,ishment In Texas. The Association do
votes much space to speaking of the
great work of his temporary and prob
ably permanent successor, but says
not one word about the distinguished
gentleman. who. has passed out.
What does it mean? Is there dissen.
sion in this great Organization that
has and is doing SO much for the col.
ored people of America? All that is
said of Mr.. James Weldon Johnson is
deserved, but 1t Is voiced In a way

ratified Nineteenth Amendment, a
special session of the Connecticut
General Assembly must be called by
Governor Holcomb'l according to Sen
