Association, so that we may be able

Carney Is Storm Center
Interest is conferred upon the lead
ership of Marcus Garvey, who has had
a spectacular career in organizing the
largest number Of Negroes ever
brought together in a single organiza-
ton. Because Of the methods en-
ployed to assemble his following, Mr..
Garvey has for several years been the
storm-center of bitter controversies in
the Negro liberation movement. Near.
ly all other Negro leaders denounce
his project for "Black Star Line" of
steamships which is the proposed
means of colonizing American Ne
groes in Africa, building up a Negro
government in Africa and thus sup
posedly helping to solve the Negroes
problems. On the other hand Garvey
denounces Negro leaders generally as
misleaders and betrayers of their peo-
pie.
Khan Issue
Many accusations have been made
that Garvey seeks to conciliate the Ku
Kluz Khan by conceding the United
States as a white mans country"
leading the Negroes to the visionary
idea of solving their problems by a
wholesale colonization in Africa, 1.-The
black Motherland." Much interest is
aroused by Garvey's present proposal
to the coming convention to discuss
the Ku Klux Khan issue without pref
.udice." The question is asked
whether this portends an effort to
bring about the Negroes surrender to
the Khan, or whether Mr.. Garvey ex-
poets the convention to take a bold
stand against the lynching and terror
ization of the Negroes by the Khan.
The proposal that the Negro politi-
cal union shall contend for the Ne.
gro's rights in the United States is
considered an indication that Mr.. Gar.
vey does not intend to make any sur.
render to the anti-Negro terrorists.

BRENNAN COMEDIES
SEVEN STATES TO
PROGRESSIVES

George +. Brennan, according to a
New York dispatch, comedies Fighting
Bob at least seven of the northwest
states and strong probability of
two more, in recent campaign
speech.
Brennan who is nationwide
spokesman of the Democratic party,
declares that the Republicans are not
aware of the fighting strength of
Senator LaFollette in the western
states, nor in his opinion do they
have any fair conception of his
strength in Illinois.
Brennan is quoted in the dispatch
a. saying: "If the election were held
today it would be thrown into the
house. There is no doubt that La
Toilette will carry Iowa, Wisconsin
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Idaho, and either Washington or Ore.
gon, probably both"
LaFollette is very popular in Chi.
cage and New York city, and the vote
in either city is likely to determine
the issue in the state. There is a
strong probability of the Progressive
candidate carrying both New York
and Illinois. According to reports the
probability of his election is increas-
ing more rapidly just now than at any
previous stage of the campaign.
