WOMEN VOTERS
(Lincoln News Service.)

Washington, Jan. /, 1924.-The TO,
900 colored women of voting age, who
live in the northern and border states,
will be interested in the following gen
eral statement recently made by Mrs.
Harriet Taylor Upton, the noted wom-
an leader, who is serving as vice chair
man of the Republican National Ex-
ecutive Committee.
"In the coming national campaign"
said Mrs. Upton, "women will play as
important a part in the ranks of Re
publican organizations as men. They
viii be held accountable for results in
whatever fields of the organization
they are placed. Women are Repub-
licans for the same reason that men
are Republicans, and they should ap-
preciate the fact that they, IN common
with the men, reap benefits equal with
men from any policy which operates to
the prosperity and welfare of the
country, and they suffer equally with
men from any policy which, because it
is ',s2economic or short-sighted, brings
depression to business, idIeness to in
dustry and suspicion and hatred to the
hearts of the people,
This statement will appeal with
force to the 10000 colored women
who are gainfully employed in the
manufacturing and mechanical indus
tries; in trade; in professional serv-
aIn ~ It-
the transportation systems of the
country And it will also influence
the thousands of colored women vot-
ers whose husbands have found steady
employment in industry through the
curtailment, by Republican admins
tration, of the flood of European immi-
grants who for years have stood in the
way of the industrial advancement Of
cOlored wage-earners.

DEMOCRATS TRIED TO MAKE
NEGRO SOLDIERS PIONEERS
(Lincoln Service.)

Washington, Jan. General Frank
S. Dickson, former congressman and
acknowledgement of Illinois, reveals an
interesting story of Democratic duplic-
ity and discrimination toward colored
soldiers. After the 100000 colored de-
tenders of the country had been mus
tered out from the service, the Demo
cratic Secretary of War determined
that they should not be permitted to
enter the federalized state militias, ex-
cept as "pioneer" units. That is, they
were to do ditch-digging, kitchen po-
licing, sanitary cleaning and other
mental occupations. In short, as a
slap to the valorous aspirations of the
Negro soldier whose achievements
form a conspicuous part in the history
of all our country's wars, the Demo
cratic administration would arm him
with a broom instead of a gun. This
was set Democratic policy.

boys remained in Flanders Field. The
city of Chicago named a street after
one of it's officers who lost his life.
OF course, the regiment no longer ex-
listed as a unit of the National Guard,
and Colonel Duncan set out to organ
ize the outfit in conformance with the
naturalization plan of the United
States government. Recruiting went
forward with the Illinois regiments,
but the Eighth was the first to fill its
quota. / congratulated Colonel Dun

tion only as pioneer units. l was as
