will, in every way, match the nation
al candidates in Americanism and
loyalty to the people as whole.
And that means success, not only
from a political standpoint but from
every other standpoint.
We just can't help wondering
what the Democratic convention will
do when it meets. We might say.
however, the way the cards are
stacked, the Woodrow dynasty will
be perpetuated through the nomina-
ton of Crown Prince McAdoo.
In case the Democratic party can
not find a man who will accept the
nomination for governor, we are ad-
vised there is certain bunch in the
state ready to trot out fellow for
the place, even though he is pledged
to forget his loyalty to the Demo-
cratic party if elected. and be guided
by the advice of gang" that does
not live in Colorado.

pany, has received a number of
anonymous letters threatening to do
him bodily harm if he signs the con-
tract which recently was offered him
to become the tenor soloist of the
company next season. Mr.. Stello
doesn't seem to be very much dis
turbed because of the letters and
stated that he will not be influenced
by them in any way.
1t is supposed that the anonymous
letters came from friends of one of
two white members of the company
! who are prejudiced against the great
Negro tenor whom many critics have
praised in the highest terms during
| the past season.
Mr.. Stello is native of one of the
West India Islands. While visiting
the islands year ago the owner of
the Chu Chin Chow Company discov-
cred Stello and Immediately arranged
with him to come to this country.
Since his arrival in America Mr..
| Stello has attracted the attention of
all the leading music lovers of New
| York and Boston. A few weeks ago
a representative of one of the New
York Grand Opera companies trav-
eled 200 miles to hear Mr.. Stello
sing. and there will be no great sur
prise among his immediate friends
if Mr.. Stello spurns the contract Of
fered by the Chu Chin Chow people
for next season and accepts con-
tract to become our first Grand
Opera singer. Owing to the fact that
he is light complexioned and of for
eign birth, it is probable that Mr..
Stello, with his marvellous voice. will
get the opportunity to become the
first Negro singer in grand opera

A. +. OF l.. WIPES OUT COLOR
LINE;" NEGRO RECOGNIZED.
Organization Warns Affiliated Bodies
That Colored Workers Must
Be Given Full Membership.

Montreal. June 1O.-The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in its an
nual convention here today. wiped
out the color line" and warned its
affiliated international unions that
Negro workers must be given full
and equal membership with white
men.
The federation's action came at the
end of a stormy session. which near
" resulted in race war" between
delegates from the Southern states
and the Negroes and their sympa-
thizers.
Words Are Eliminated.
Rejecting the recommendation OF
the organization committee. the
federation, for the first time in his
tory, threatened the autonomy of an
affiliated union by requesting the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks to
give the Negro freight handlers. ex-
press and station employees full mem
bership and eliminate from its con-
stitution the words white only.
Indignation of the Negro delegates
was aroused several times during
the debate when speakers referred
to them as niger" freight handlers
and their objection to such remarks
was sustained by the acting chair
man, James Duncan.
Appeal to Workers.
An appeal to the workers TO de-
sert the federation and align with
the one big union, spread broadcast
through the city today, asserted that
craft unionism was doomed.
The circular. addressed to "All tel-
low workers" and warning them that
the satellites of craft unionism
were in their midst. was the first
open attack on the American Fedora
ton by the one big union organiza-
ton in Canada.
