Washington, D. C.-They are stir

the National Race Congress. which
viii convene in the Mt. Carmel Bap-
tist church, April 20, and remain in
session three or four days. and they
are going to do some real tangible
things, ! am told. and this is the day
Of doing things and not shoot hot air.
We have had so many race leaders,
who have been leading the race in
their pockets, and have lost sight OF
themselves. be ham sandwich if
that time is now in eternity, and if
you have something tangible we are
willing to pause and hear you, and II
practical will follow your lead
| have for long time been investi-
eating the work Of DR.. w. Fl. Jerna-
gin, founder and president of the Ma
tional Race Congress, and / find that
he is one sincere honest man, and /
take pleasure in commencing him and
the Congress to my people through
out the country, and say to them that
it is an organization with an idea and
one if backed up, will result in much
good for my people It is not an
organization to beg the white man to
foster it, but it is by the Negro and
for the Negro, telling him to get off

We have developed a strength, and
| mean voting strength in the state
where a vote counts sufficiently to
protect ourselves if we will husband
that strength, and that is what this
race Congress is going to help US do.
1t is not going to take money from
some political party and sell out to
it, for DR.. Jernagin is not made that
way. He puts above dollar the
rights OF his people, and when it
comes to the fellow who don't like

Congress is saying to US, that we
must have in Washington, right at the
capital of the nation, bureau in
charge Of a real man, a man with
blood to look after our interests, and
to let the Congress know that we are
thinking, and when matters are before
them which touch us, we have a
mouth piece who will express our SEN
timents and we will back that up at
the ballot box. We must support this
ourselves, and | think it is up to
every race organization, churches,
lodges, grand and ungrand, clubs, and
anything else to make contribution
to this end, and we will see our
strength and influence grow, and we
will be able to make some changes in
affairs.
All of these things will be brought
to the attention Of the people in the
next meeting, and we are not going
