Mugs Anti-Lyuching Bill have
upon the Negro vote in the fall
election?
A. None! For twenty years
the Republican party bluffcd
about the Dyer. Anti-Lynching
Bill and it was never brought to
discussion in the senate, not
withstanding the Republicans
had the house, the senate and
the supreme court for more than
half century. At the first OPP
portunity where voting cloture
would have ultimately brought
the Anti-Lynching Bill to
successful end, the Republicans
declined to vote because they
knew that the Democrats would
have been given credit for the
passage of the bill In the be-
ginning, many of the southern
senator's did not think that the
Anti-Lynching bill would have
failed and as the filibuster was
approaching it's end. Senator
Borah's speech did more to re-
juvinate the filibuster than any
thing else, and he is, perhaps,
the person most responsible for
the defeat of tn bill. The
status is almost a stand off"
with the exception that the
Democratic party made a more
persistent effort for the passage
than was manifested in any
other session of congress, when
the Republicans were over
whelmingly in the majority.
When the crucial test came
the Republicans failed.
Q. Has there been a drift of
Negro votes away from Roose-
welt during the last six months?
A. No! In recent elections
the Negroes cast a larger per
centaGe of votes than ever be-
fore. The vote registered re-
Gently in the Democratic cam

the four Negro wards that the
vote was larger for the Demo-
cratic ticket than it was in 1886.
Ninety-eight per cent of this
vote was cast for the Democrat
ticket, Mr.. T. J. Pandergast.
Democratic leader in Kansas
City, told me that the Negroes
made a far better showing than
the whites and certainly the
largest vote they ever cast for
the Democratic ticket.

Thinkers, philosophers, poets

been misunderstood, and thus
hated and feared. They start

young. They are: Mrs. Mary

ates. Mrs. Patterson was out

full of life and intelligence. She
said to me: Dave, are you well

that / have ever known was or is,
of a nobler character. She is
one of those who have came out
