made in Oklahoma under President
Roosevelt in the past seven and half
years. He graphically told how $4,000

Mason Dixon Line, who had sense en-
nough to be Democrats are the black
men and women who by their visions
and good Fellowship among the citizens
of their state were going to politically
liberate the millions of black men and
women now disfranchised.
He stated that for sixty years the
Negro asked nothing of the Republican
Party-and got nothing. Pointing out
that practically all the older men of
the assembly now Democrats, were
Democrats because they were dissatis-
fled with the Republican Party's meyer
treatment and lack of consideration for
the Negro and capped it with a state

Douglas, towit: Men have in their
own hands the peaceful means by which
they may put all of the moral, political.
and economic enemies to flight, if they
will faithfully, courageously, and val
iantly use them"
