portant conclusions:-11 The pub
lies attitude toward federal lynch
law differs strikingly from the atti--
tude of many members of Congress.
% Probably politicians from the
South and elsewhere who support
federal action have less cause to
fear reprisals from the voters back
home than they havee heretofor
imagined,
BY permission Of the American
Institute Of Public Opinion, the
NAAGP is able to release the fol-
lowing table showing the vote for
the bill by sections, indicating how
widespread is the endorsement OF
i federal anti-lynehing law. The
percentages in the poll released
January 81, 1897 are contrasted
with the figures for November Id,
1897 showing the gains and losses

Thus, MRS. Anderson adds another
fortune to her ever increasing
wealth. Within the last ten years

ell, she is loyal to her racial group
as shown in the recent campaign
when she was a staunch supporter
of Mrs. Ethel Prear, race candidate
for Dayton school board,
Mrs. Anderson contributes lagely
to charity, and because Of her civic
and social activities and her genu-
me devotion to her people, she has
