the economic problem lies at the very
heart of the welfare 'of any race. The
possibility of honest bread Is the

1t is the indispensable condition OF
thrift, probity and truth. No people

Where They Vote:--
The political crisis which confronts
the colored citizens today is of gravo
moment. Efforts are being made to
strip us of every vestige of our politi
cal rights and to deny us any place In
the government. Even I'm our own
party there is tendency to restrict
our activities in the administration OF
the government to insignificant plac-
es where we are to admins
ter only to our own group.
Race prejudice is the super-govern
ment In America and makes a mockerv
of the Declaration OF independence
and scrap of paper OF the Federal
Constitution. If this sinister influence
is not checked it will reduce us to a
state of political serfdom.
To meet this exigency, the Colored
Republican Conference NJ New Jersor

to Negroes that white workmen
