Isaac L. Moore, president of the

that a small attendance did not

the efforts to arouse the people to

the country.
It may be accepted as true that
there are found in every commun-

the fact that such persons attempt

COMMENT

The poor attendance at the meet
ing at Bethesda church last Sun
day afternoon called by the Twin
City Ministerial Alliance is subject
to a number Of explanations, none
Of which, however, may be accept
ed as completely satisfying.
It may be that it was not as
fully advertised as it might have
been. It may be that the people
are not as fully informed of the
purposes and plans of the Ma
tional Negro Congress as should
be the case. It may be that the
people are not as sympathetic
with the detectives of the congress
as its sponsors had hoped to find
them.
Undoubtedly the date of the
meeting was unfortunate in that
it conceded with the Minneapolis
Sunday Forums meeting at the
same hour.

ton Of Saturday was by way of

PATRONAGE

The colored citizens of st. Paul
are reminded that whereas those
firms that recognize the value of
Negro trade by giving employment
to Negro labor; are commended,
the same zeal should withhold pat
ronage from those firms who fail
or refuse to so cooperate. Such
a firm is the Citizens Ice and Fuel
Company on Selby Avenue near
Dale. It's volume of Negro bust
ness has for years been large, yet
they give no consideration to their
Negro trade in employment place
ment. This company doesn't even
find it necessary to advertise its
goods in Negro publications. This
is the result of inexcusable indif-
ference to their own welfare on
the part Of the colored people.
This is good time to wake up.
Representatives from all over
the country, the accredited spokes-
men of the various societies which
send them, individual members of
the race representing only the
aroused sentiment of the cities
from where they come, will be in
Chicago to share the deliberations
Of the most important conference
ever gathered to discuss the well
fare of its people. Minneapolis and
st. Paul delegates will be among
them. The Importance of the gath
ering should invite the largest pos
sible participation of every organ
lied body that sets itself up as a
mentor for its group.

Maryland as Political
Barometer Upheld

claiming Pennsylvania for Roose-
welt which accounts for the Far
ley version Of the election to come
with more votes than ever be-
fore.
The reason the Democrats claim
Pennsylvania in the face Of violent
protests from Republican observers
Is that the Democrats have the
election machinery: have q TIRE
mendous campaign organization;
and also they declare the Republi-
can senate in the last few days
has muffed the relief question
badly, with resulting political
strength for Roosevelt.
Michigan Watched
Another State claimed by the
Democrats generally as well as
specifically by Chairman Farley,
is Michigan, which raises consid-
cradle of q question among close
and impartial observers. This
State is Republican by all rights
and traditions; and was the con-
spicuous State in the 1894 con-
gresSional elections; coming up
from behind, going Republican
for Senator Vandenberg after hay
ing deserted the G. o. p. for
Roosevelt two year earlier. The
Democratic strategy included jerk
ing Commissioner Murphy from
the Philippine Islands and precipi-
tating him into Michigan politics
with the iiope and prayer that his
persuasive campaigning powers
would insure Michigan going for
Roosevelt. There can be no doubt
that Mr.. Murphy, once mayor Of
Detroit, Is an adroit campaigner,
but just now there Is much dis
satisfaction in Michigan over the
dictation into State politics from
Washington.
