Nothing is done to keep parties from

COLORADO WOMEN
TO SUPPROT DYER
ANTFLYN OH BILL
Republican White Women De-
mand Enactment of Bill
i'm Next Congress
FIVE MEASURES CITED
Women Against Ku Klux Klan
Challenge Republican Party
on Issue

New York, Nov. 15.-The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, 50 Fifth avenue, has
received word from Colorado that
white women belonging to the Re-
publican party intend to demand en-
actment of the Dyer anti-lynching
bill in the next Congress. At the
recent first annual Roosevelt birth
day dinner of the Lincoln club, in
Denver, Mrs. Florence M. Stote of
Colorado Springs, outlined the wo-
mems demands for legislation.
Mrs. Stote cited five principal
measures which women in politics
will support and which they will look
to the Republican party to enact.
One of these is the Dyer anti-lynch-
ing bill, to give justice to the colored
people and end a record Of lynching
which, she said, totaled 1000 in the
last 35 years, twenty of the lynch
ings having taken place in Colorado.
Mrs. Stote also declared the Re-
publican women of Colorado were up
in arms against the Ku Klux Klan,
and challenged the Republican party
on this issue. She said:
"Our opinion (the women's) of the
Ku Klux Klan is that it is un-Ameri-
can, undemocratic, and un- Christian,
that it breeds racial prejudice and
sets creed against creed in violation
of the fundamentals of our Constitu-
tion."

Erman M. Skipton, city comptroller
has announced that he hopes to have

"Unless my plans miscarry, this

reserve had been increased to 500, ,0OO
