KELLY MILLER PREDICTS MORE
NEGRO LEGISLATORS.


New York, Feb. 24.--In a recent adj
dress here, Dean Kelly Miller of the
Junior College of Toward University.
Washington, D. c., predicted that
within six years tnere will be Negro
representatives from New York CITY.
Philadelphia and Chicago in Congress.
This will be one of the political re-
suits of the migration of some 6OO.-
goo Negroes from the South during
the last decade. He read census stat
istics showing the Negro population
in, New York to be $4,000, In Phil
adelphia $4,000, in Washington and
chicago 100000 each.
From these concentrations there
will develop a political self conscious
ness" he added You will find that
these communities will be sending
representatives to City Councils and
State legislatures. After a while they
will send representatives to the Cen
gress of the United States. 1t is safe
20 predict that within four or six
years there will be Negro Congress-
nan from New York City, one from
Philadelphia and one from Chicago.
The population is sufficiently large
to come within requirements of Con-
gfess districts"
