Pro-Parker Men
Defeated

New York, Nov. breaking
party lines for the first time on
truly national scale, Negro voters in
the electio MUST past contributed
strikingly to the defeat of two pro-
Parker Senators, McCulloch of Ohio
and Allen of Kansas, and made
themselves felt as political force
that must be reconed with.
Although the results in Ohio and
Kansas, where the pro-Parker Sena-
tors went down to defeat, are most
striking, the colored voters made
close and bitterly contested cam
paigns in other states as well, not
ably Rhode sland and Delaware.
Election figures sent to the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People by telegraph,
special delivery and air mail, show
the part that colored voters played
in districts where they predominated.
The bitterly contested and successful
campaign led by the N. A. A. c: P:
against McCulloch in Ohio resulted
in an overwhelming vote against
him in almost all the colored districts
from which returns have been re-
ceived.
Election reports from the Ohio
Conference of N. A. A. G. P.
Branches, forwarded by the Confer
ence President, C. E. Dickinson,
Cleveland unofficial count shows
in Wards 10 and 10, predominantly
Negro, McCulloch had half or less
than half as many votes as Republi-
can candidates for governor. Tele-
gram to N. A. A. C. P. states: "No
escaping fact that in Guyahoga
County Negro contributed substant-
tally to McCulloch defeat for with
out their support Bulkley's majority
would have been considerably less"
Cuyahoga County gave Buckley
100000 of his 100000 majority.
In Columbus, Mr.. Dickinson re-
ports that his own precinct gave
Buckley 100 votes against 60 for Nc
Culloch, and in F precinct Of the
same ward where there are only 70
white voters, the vote stood Buckley
ia and McCulloch s. "The colored
show that in three districts in Mid
dletown and eight districts in Mar
ion, all mainly colored. McCulloch
ran behind Buckley, the Democratic
candidate in every case, In Youngs-
town the 3rd ward, results IN otner
cities were as follows:
Urbancrest (entirely Negro) Bulk
lev liz, McCulloch "a.
Canton: preliminary report indi-
oates 1900 votes six to one against
McCullloch.
Mansfield: preliminary report,
Buckley 600, McCulloch 400
GAINESVILLE: Buckley 1899, McCul-
loch 568.
wards went Buckley by lare MAORI
ties" writes Mr.. Dickinson.
Illustrating the lengths to which
the opponents Of the N. A. A. c: F.
campaign were ready to go in Ohio
Mr.. Dickinson reports an attempt to
break up the meeting at which Wal
ter White, Acting Secretary of the
N. A. A. C. P. spoke in Columbus on
November 2, with hired rufflans
brought in to commit violence. Con
ditions were ripe for real roit," ne
writes, "because those in the rear OF
the theatre where I was standing,
knew what was going on and were
ready, while you on the platform,
did not" the planned disorder did
not materialize when the hired per-
sons "saw the sentiment Of the meet
ing"
RHODE ISLAND AND KANSAS
In Providence, Rhode Island,
where the N. A. A. C. P. was oppos-
ing the pro-Parker Senator Metcaf,
reports state that not more than 6O
per cent of the colored people voted
