''CRISIS" UPHOLDS
THE INDEPENDENT
C0L0RED VOTERS
Call Politicians Associated Pie
Hunters"-Demand Principles,
Men Not Offices, Jobs.

What the N. A. A. c. p. has stood
for and will stand for is the indie
pendence of the Intelligent Negro
vote" says the leading editorial in
The Crisis for January, 1925. I'VE
propose that black Americans shall
be the bond servants of no party and
that no set of politicians shall ever be
able to deliver our vote signed and
sealed to any party in return for
bribes and jobs for themselves.
"In the exercise of this independ-
ence members and officers of this or
ganization may differ and do differ as
to where their votes will do the most
good in any particular election. In
the last election our officers and
members voted the Republican ticket,
the Democratic ticket, the Progress
sive ticket and split tickets of all
sorts; but in every case the object of
their voting. so far as they stood by
the principles which have been laid
down by the organization, was to sell
their votes not for petty political
jobs but for the freedom of the Negro
race"
Referring to politicians as the AS
sociated Pie-Hunters, The Crisis edi-
torials demand: mot Offices, but
principles; not jobs, but men; not
suitable cognizance' of 1ynching, but
the abolition of the dastardly crime
by federal force. We plead guilty to
Mr.. Vann here, now and forever, of
running away from the mob of po-
litical pie-hunters and of saying to
the Republican party, the Democratic
party and the Progressive party, as
We said in Philadelphia in May land
DR.. George E. Cannon was a member
of the committee which said it,:
ANY political party which aims to
attract the votes of Negroes today
must first convince them of its de-
termination and ability to forward
their industrial and political and So
cial emancipation"
Challenging political assailants of
the n. A. A. c. p, The Crisis de-
clares:
IF these politicians are the ones
who set themselves up to lead us to
hell instead of upward and onward
by the long, hard. difficult but
straight path which the N. A. A. c. p.
has for fifteen years pointed out and
travelled with a success that no sane
man, white or black, has ever chal-
lenged--if black America must
choose between these two groups, let
them choose and we cheerfully abide
the decision"
In the January Crisis are also
poems and stories by Charles w.
Chestnut, Langston Hughes, Jessie
Fausett and others.
