A FEEBLE COUNTERMOyE.

Some leading Negroes of Delaware
have addressed a letter to Judge VIII
liam II. Boyce. Democratic candidate
for Representative In Congress, ask
ing him to state his attitude towards
the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, now
pending in Congress. The purpose OF
this measure is to strike a blow di-
rectly at lynching through the inter
vention of Federal law and Federal
justice.
The meaning OF this inquiry is
plain. 1t is clearly designed as a
countermove against the decided and
threatening movement of Delaware Ne
sroes. supplemented by organization.
against the reelection of Representa-
tive Caleb II. Layton. on account of
his open and vigorous opposi-
ton to this bill while it was pending
In the House. 1t is hoped by the Re-
publican party managers TO counter
act the strong tide against Layton by
the tenor of Judge Boyce's answer.
1t is clearly manifest that Judge
Boyce. as n good citizen and a good
Democrat, could truly inform his
questioners that he is against lynch
ing and all other forms Of mob vio-
lence. and In favor of stern punish
ment for all who engage in such
fiendish outrages-but by the laws of
the respective States. Also. that as
good Democrat as we'll as a good
citizen, he is opposed to Federal in
reference in any or all matters which
are not, by the Constitution, dele
gated to the Federal government, but
are reserved to the States or the
peple thereof
No doubt il is the thought, and hope
Of the distracted Republican party
managers. now realizing. that danger
OF defeat at the election is staring
them in the face, that this plan may
influence the anti-Layton Negroes tc
the belief that the chief result of the
defeat of Layton would be the election
of a Democrat who would regard thi:
measure of Federal interference with
State affairs in the same light tha-
DR.. Layton regards 1t. This view O.
the situation, the party manager:
doubtless hope, might result in saw
ing TO DR.. Layton the Negro supper
without which he would not have tn,
remotest possibility OF election.
But the Negroes have much NOR
occasion for complaint of injustic
and humiliation than Representative
Layton's hostility to this particula
measure. For many years they hav
been the political backbone of the Re
publican party in Delaware, and dur
ing all this time have been treate
with base ingratitude, even insult
Now they are revolving. The direc
ton OF their hostility against Dl
Layton is an expression OF exaspera
ton at the treatment the entire rae
has received ar the hands of the Re
publican party of Delaware, since tn
birth of Negro suffrage.

already all of the Western Confer

toms. as well as numerous others,
have significd their intention of on
toring, according to reports to Major
John l.. Griffith, of the University of
Illinois.
Major Griffith is chairman of the

includes A. A. Stacg of Chicago and
Tom Jones, Director of Athletics at

the first annual national collegiate

as a gathering place each year to de-
tvrmine the national championship
track team and also the national
champions in each event. The Uni
ycrsity of Illinois. with its we'll
balanced track aggregation, won last
years meet and has its eye on Il
second championship this season, al
though the competition with the cX-
pCCtcd increased number of entries
will be much kccner.
The fact that 50 invitations and
entry blanks We're sent has a sign-
ficance, for all other meets in the
country are closed affairs with the
exception of relay carnivals. For

meets for their members. 1t is a
growing feeling, in fact, on the part
of the members of the Big Ten" and
