COLORED POLITICIANS Will
SEEK TO GET IT ON G. 0. P.
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. c., July 21-Presi-
dent Harding has entered the field Of
worldwide statesm anship. His invi-
tation to the various powers to hold
a conference on the subject of dis
armament has met with quick and
hearty response.
This tremendous subject, which has
been working it's way forward for
number of years, is about to be con-
considered in Washington. 1t is
subject that affects every citizen, and
the course of the general program will
be watched with the greatest of in
terest.
The Presidents opposition to the
consideration of the bonus bill under
the present economic strain, has been
successful, and the majority of the
soldiers are willing to look at the
matter from the administration point
of view
These big questions, together with
the consideration of the tariff, have
somewhat overshadowed the matters
in which colored Americans are Wit
ally interested. However, there is no
letting up of the leaders in promoting
the interests that affect the race.
There is real conspiracy on in
congress against giving the colored
Americans a square deal. 1t is not
all from the source that might be ex-
pected. The Associated Negro Press
has learned from authoritative sourc-
es that there are men in congress, some
OF whom have colored constituents
in large numbers, and who have been
elected on the Republican ticket, who
are double-crossing both the Presi-
dent and the colored people. 1t is
Known tina the President is pretty
well disgusted with that class of
statesmen" and it is an open secret
that the Chief Executive does not take
kindly to the idea of having all criti-
cism directed to him. There are a
rumber of tLese who. will be up for
reelection in 1922, and there is a
goodly number ofthese already on the
black list >

Of the people are now living in tents

Of ENABLING ACT
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Atlanta, Ca, July demanding
the passage of an enabling act to per-
nit the women of Georgia to vote in
accordance with the provisions of the
national equal suffrage amendment,
the Georgia Womans Suffrage Asso-
citation, through its president, Mrs.
Mary l.. McLendon, has sent strong
communication to every member of
the 1921 General Assembly. The let
ter points out that, alothough the
equal suffrage amendment to the fed
eral constitution was ratified last
year, the women of Georgia and Miss
issippi were not allowed to vote be-
cause no enabling acts had been pass
ed by the legislatures of those two
states 1t also is made clear that the
Georgia Woman's Suffrage Associa-
ton expects the present legislature
to pass the necessary statutes. The
Negro woman is causing some en-
barrassment, but it is thought grand
mothers clause will meet this phase

from Nigeria in Africa, picked two of
the winners at Lingfield last Wedn-

ing he and his suite had atenedd, but
he is an expert horseman and his ad-
vice was much sought by less skilled
colonial office officials, who are pill
oting him about London. He had an
audience with King George and was
deeply impressed, taking the Kings
hand in both of his own, and with a
carresing gesture. He witnessed a
polo match at Huntington this after

his wives accompanied him to the bal
let. They sat in separate screened
box. This was the first public ap-

Nashville, Tenn, July 21.-Noah w.
Cooper of this city, chairman of the
Southern Methodist Sabbath Saving
crusade, who says his organization
represents the sentiments of 10000
600 protesting Christians of the South,
has arrived in Washington, as the ad-
vance guard of number of delegates
from southern states who, he states,
will reach there soon, to bring their
campaign before congress. The cam
paigners will present to every men,
ber of congress a petition asking for
the passage of law prohibiting any
man from engaging in his daily task
on the Sabbath.
The law sought by the campaigners
would be directed chiefly at stopping
all interstate traffic on Sunday and
all federal work, including distribu-
tion of the mails, printing and other
such activities. Only works of neces-
sity and mercy would be countenanc-
ed. Sunday newspapers would be
abolished. The NJ. E. church South
is backing the movement. They have
no colored members. The liberal NJ
E. Church North will have nothing to
