DR.. Powell Says
Father Divine Did
Not Stop Voting

New Work, Nov. 81 (C)-Dr. c..
E. Powell, editor and co-publisher
of the Amsterdam News and dir
ector of publicity of the Colored
Division of the Democratic Cam
paign has written a letter to the
City Editor of the New York Times
refuting the claim that Father Di-
vine halted the voting in Harlem on
election day DR.. Powell's letter
dated, Nov. 5, 1886, follows;
"Please permit me to call your
attention to a very fragrant mis-
representation or in accurate re-
porting which appeared on the
front page of the New York Times
Wednesday, Nov. 4th under the
caption: Father Divine's Flock
Stays Home When He Issues Order
Not to Vote
"In the article, your reporter
stated that Father Divine was re-
sponsible alone for the stopping of
$4,000 vote S, IN conseqAenoe there
of, polls in Harlem were virtually
deserted.
"The latter statement is inaccur-
ate even to casual observer pass
ing through Harlem at any period
from 6 m. to 9 p. m. on Nov 3rd
Practically all polling booths had
lines which extended out of the
building far onto the sidewalk.
"In proof of my statement, 1
will refer you to the elections re-
turns which portray this more vivid
ly. In the 21st Assembly District,
there were approximately $4,000
registered voters, the election re-
turns on Nov. 3rd showed about
$4,000. The 18th District had a re-
gisteration of about 10000 with ell
ection returns of around $4,000.
The 18th District had a registra-
ton Of approximately 26,000 with
a return of about $4,000. These
Districts are heavily populated with
eolored people and represent an
of over $4,000 persons
who voted, while the registration is
about 100000. From these figures
It is impossible for one to imagine
even by wild stretch of the ina
gination how your reporter could
so misrepresent the people Of Har-
lem.
"Tn further confirmation of the
erroneousness of this observation,
I wish to call your attention to an
article appearing in the New York
Times, Wednesday, Oct. 28th, on
page L Is, under the caption: 'Har-
lem 'Tn Bag" For Roosevelt Even
There Admit in which
your reporter made an accurate
as a result of his inquir-
les.
"He consulted a number of we'll
Informed citizens in Harlem, in
cluding the writer, and none put
the potential voting strength of Fa-
ther DivinE's flock at more than
1000.
Anything you can do to correct
this faulty information will be ap-
preciated by your readers"
