C0lOred Votes Re-
tire Two Foes of
Dyer Anti-Lynching
Bill

Two congressman who voted against
the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the
House of Representatives have been
retired by colored votes and defeated
in their candidacy for re-electiin. ac-
cording to announcement today by the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, 20 Fifth Ave
nue.. New York. The two congress
men are: DIR. Caleb r. Layton. Repub-
lican representative at large from the
state of Delaware, and r. Wayne Par
ker, Republican representative from
the Ninth New Jersey district.
Delaware colored voters were reused
by the untiring and courageous work
of Mrs Alice Dunbar Nelson, who put
the facts before them, organized meet
ings, conferred with newspaper edi-
tors, and was instrumental in bringing
the n. A. A. C. P. speakers into the
campaign against DIR. Layton.
Against both DR.. Layton and Mr..
Parker, the National Association for
the Advancement of CoIored People
conducted Il persistent and insistent
campaign. The secretary of the asso-
citation, james Weldon johnson. and
the assistant secretary, Walter F.
White. both went to Wilmington, where
they spoke before mass meetings or
ganfzed by the local n. A. A. C. p. in
conjunction with the Anti-Lynching
Crusaders and the Independent Citi-
zens' League.
n. a. \. C. P. press releases were
sent to white and colored newspapers
throughout New Jersey. informing
their readers that Representative Par
ker had voted against the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives and urging that he be re-
buked in the election. n. a. a. c. p
Branches in Parker's district We're al
so urged to do all in their power to de-
feat him.
The entire Republican ticket was
elected in Delaware with the eXcep-
tion of Representative Layton, who
voted against the Dyer Bill, and Sen
ator Du Pont. whose defeat is partly
due to his having persisted despite
warnings from colored leaders in try
ing to force Layton upon voters who
would not have him. According to fig
ures from official 1922 registration.
the Republicans had margin of 1000.
There were. however. 1900 registered
colored voters in Delaware, and these
proved decisive.
james Weldon Johnson, secretary of
the n. A. A. C. p. issued the follow
ing brief statement in comment upon
these results:
"Colored voters had an issue in this
election. and they made the most of it.
That issue was the Dyer Anti-Lyncn-
ing Bill and on the strength of it they
and who might. but for colored votes,
have been returned to Congress. That
is Il convincing demonstration of pow
er. This should be borne in mind in
watching the Senate's action in refer
ence TO the Dyer Bill The Republic
an margin has heen reduced. But the
Republicans can still enact the Dyer
Bill if they want to. They and they
alone are to be held strictly RESPONSE
