When November 5, 1924, dawns upon
the anxious public, it will undoubtedly be
apparent that the Negro vote viii have lost
some Of is national strength. Whether or not
it will have been shorn Of its specifically local
influence in certain state and subordinate
lection districts. and whethe or not its ma
tional influence, fairly strong or VIGOROUSLY
weak, will need curative attention, are en-
tirely digerent questions which we shall dis

however, that as national proposition the
