Negro Vote Went
To Progressives
Leaders Claim Credit for the Vic

Washington, May 19.-lt became
known here today that the Negro vot-
ers in Pennsylvania and Indiana
played very important part in the re-
cent primaries, and that their influ-
ence and votes were used largely for
Pinchot and Beveridge and against AL
ter and New.

cal leader of the National Association

pie. that other leading administration

by Negro voters because of their op-
position to or Indifference toward the

that passed the House and is now tied
up in the Senate will be fought to the
last minute on election day. He point

Committee.
(By Inter Racial News Service.)

Nashville, Tenn, May 24.-Leading
tie Rock, in April, organized branch
of the State Committee on Inter-Ra-
cial Cooperation, and gave to the pub
lie a vigorous address demanding for
the people of all races square deal
and the full protection of law. Stat
ing that public sentiment concerning
the Negro has too long been formed by
prejudice, passion, Indifference and ig-
norance, they declared their purpose
to study the question with open mind
and help create IL public sentiment
which shall lessen theu nhappy condi-
tions about us, make impossible the
present forms of lawlessness and dis
respect for the courts, and remove
contempt for and exploitation of hui
man life"
Among the most serious phases of
the race problem at present, said the
committee, is "a lack of respect and
protection for Negro womanhood."
emphasize a single standard in morals
for both men and women, to the end
that the integrity of both races may
be assured"
Affirming that the test of character
of an individual or race is to be
found in its attitude toward those who
are weaker and whose opportunities
have been less, the committee ap-
pealed for spirit of justice, helpful

that shall be worthy of the white

Mrs. w. D. Reeves of Helena was

membership of the committee includes
prominent representatives of the vari-

The plan to be followed contemplates
an organization in each community to
forward the principles for which the
committee stands.
Within the last few months similar
organizations have been effected by
the women of Georgia, Alabama, South
