Three Things Accomplished.
AT these sessions, three things were
accomplished. Personal acquaintance
ships were formed, knowledge Of the
problems of others was gained, and
the formation of an efficient interna-
tional body was actively begun. In
the minds of all was the realization
that the problems of the Colored races
Of the world counld not and would
not be solved by bombast and ora
tory but only through sober, serious
and unceasing work to overcome first,
the difficulties attendant upon differ
ences in language. customs, thought,
environment and religion, and sec
ond. the combining of all Africans
and persons of African descent thru
out the world, together with their
genuine friends of other races in one
compact body for the solution of those
problems which cause them TO suffer
today.

but a few exceptions all of the dele

possible to unite in one great, inter-

things realizing that as long as a

bia. The battle was increased in mag.
nitude, however, by the extension Of
suffrage to women In the many states
which did not permit them to vote In
previous elections.
This greatest Of election struggles
took place In an area Of approximate
~ 3.OoO,OO0 square miles. under condi-
tons varying from the fvpsty weather
of the Canadian boundary unds possible
snow storms of the higher communt-
ties of the Rockies, to the burning
sunshine Of Key West and some of
the cities and villages Of the south
western border.
Ballot boxes-emblems of American
sovereignty-were set up III the hearts
Of great cities, in villages, in wayside
school houses; on isolated islands, in
pockets Of the great woods; far up
among rough peaks, and below the
level of the sea; In many cases in
communities which lie behind great
natural barriers that cut them of
physically from other settlements. And
yet, because of the telephone and tele-
graph wires that extend into nearly
every community, and wireless COM
munication that supplements them,
most American citizens learned the
results from the far-flung battle line
at their breakfast tables next morn
ing. Indeed, impatient followers of the
returns knew the results before mid
night, reading reports flashed on
screens before newspaper Offices in
countless cities and towns. r
1t was far different, paradoxical as
1t may seem at first sight, during the
early presidential elections in which
popular voting figured, in spite of the
fact that practically all voters were
east Of the Mississippi river and most
Of them in the States along the At
lantic seaboard. Lacking electrical
means of communication and rail-
roads, and having but poor highways
and vehicles, the country was often in
Ignorance Of the candidates elected for
weeks after the election.
The contrast cannot be carried back
to elections when the United States
was confined to its original thirteen
members along the narrow strip of
coast country, for in those days the
voter and the campaign manager had
not come into their own. The choosing
of a president was a partyless, cam
paignless and-so far as most Of the
linen in the street" were concerned
"a voteless affair. Legislatures saved
voters from the bother Of casting bal
lots by appointing electors and the lat
