JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, SECRE-
TARY OF THE NATIONAL ASSO-
CATION FOR THE ADVANCE
MENT OF COLORED PEOPLE,
FIRES INTO THE LEADERS OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR
THEIR ABANDONMENT OF THE
DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL.

who announced in the Senate, on the
morning of December 4, the Republi-
can party's abject surrender.
THE eolored people will not be de-
ceived by appearances. They can see
and they know the actual fight was
made by the southern Democrats
against the bill rather than by the
Republicans in its behalf. The
southern Democrats roared like lions
and the Republicans laid down like
scared 'possums. The efforts of Sen
ator Shortridge was sincere and ear
nest, but outside of the support he
received from Senator Willis, Sena-
tor New and Senator Edge, not a
Republican Senator opened his mouth
in actual support. A few Senators,
including Senators Pepper and Reed
OF Pennsylvania, McNary, Capper and
Gooding, expressed their willingness
to keep up the fight until March 4th if
necessary, but the mass of Republican
Senators displayed no particular in
terest in the bill. 1t is this attitude
that the colored people will especially
resent, perhaps even more than the
failure of the bill to be passed. If the
Republican senatorial leaders think
the Negro will be satisfied merely be-
cause they allowed the southern DEM
ocrats to put themselves on record"
they are mistaken. The Republicans
should also have put themselves on
record. This they failed to do.
The unsuccessful fight to have the
Dyer bill enacted into law at this
thine is not, however, without its
fruits.
First of all, lynching as a national
shame and the facts about lynching
have been put before the American
people. In fact, lynching has been
made not only a national but an in
ternational issue and such a question
cannot die until it is rightly settled
once for all.
Second, the Dyer Anti-Lynching
bill became the center of concerted
mass action by colored people such
as has never before taken place in
the United States. Colored voters
defeated, on this issue alone, three
men who voted against it in the
House of Representatives one in
Delaware, one in New Jersey, al
one in Wisconsin. So doing. eolored
people have become conscious Of
their political power.
Third, colored voters have goae
great step toward political .enancipa-
ton from allegiance on historical
grounds to any one party. The fats
of the Dyer bill, coming as rulmius-
ton of a series of disappointments
under the present administration,
completely rids the Negro of the old
, idea that he must now, heneeforth
and forevermore, vote the Republican
! ticket merely for historic reasons.
'In conclusion, the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored people has no intention of less
J ening its efforts to abolish lynching in
the United States of America In
: deed, we have just begun to fight.

James Weldon Johnson. secretary
of the National Association for the
Advancement OF coiored People, on
his return to New York from Wash
ington, made the following statement
on the abandonment of the Dyer bill
by the Republican party:
THE fight for the enactment of the
Dyer. Anti-Lynching bill was aban-
doned by the Republican majority on
Monday, December 4, in the last
hours of the extra session of Con-
gress. The bill had been called up
for consideration on Tuesday, No
vember %. 1t Immediately became
the object of a filibuster on the part
VI southern Democrats, which was
the most naked and brutal exhibition
of its kind ever made in the Senate.
A flibuster is generally carried on
under some sort of disguise, but Sen
ator Underwood of Alabama, the
Democratic leader, stated plainly and
bluntly that the purpose of the fill
buster was to prevent any considera-
ton whatsoever of the Dyer Anti
Lynching bill and that the Democratic
side would not allow any government
business whatever to be carried on
until the Republicans agreed to
abandon the bill not only during the
extra session but even during the
short session.
THE flibuster was carried on from
Tuesday through Saturday, Deem
Der 2, during which time the southern
Democrats would not even allow the
adoption of the record of the Senate's
proceedings. Finally, on Saturday
night, caucus of Republican Sena.
tors was held, which was largely at.
tended, and the question of the aban,
donment of the bill was discussed hot
ly for more than two hours. The at
tendance at the caucus dwindled unit
there were some twenty-five or twenty
three Senators left. A vote was ther
taken and the majority agreed to aban
don the bill. There were nine Senator,
who voted to keep up the fight unit
March 4. If necessary. Among thes,
was Senator Shortridge, who ha.
charge of the bill and who led tn,
| fight on the floor.
Before the Republican caucus. tn,
secretary conferred with Senator
Lodge, Curtis and Watson, the tire
men holding the fate of the bill il
their hands, urging them not to sur
render on the terms laid down by tn
Democratic hlibusterers. Those term
were that the bill he not only droppet
IN the special session, but dropped a
we'll for the entire term of the Sixty
seventh Congress.
Immediately after publication in tn
newspapers of the outcome of tn
caucus, the secretary telegraphed t
these three Senators inquiring if h
had not received their promise cha
the bill would not be abandoned o.
Senator Underwood's terms. Senate

Now, friends, if that is true, cut
out the breakfast dance" l was of
the opinion that they were given for
men who worked at night and could
not get off to attend regular dances.
If you don't take my advice now,
some of these beautiful, sunshiny
mornings, when the dew drops are
fresh upon the flowers, and the birds
are chanting in the trees, that hus-
band whom you think is at work or
out on the road on his way to the
