COUNCIL OF NEGRO
REPUBLICANS FORMED

The National Council of Negro
Republicans begins its organiza-
tional career this month.
Formed recently at a luncheon at
| Hotel Roosevelt, attended by Chair
man Brownell, the Council was
launched with wide approval from
labor and hnSustry.
I'VE will raise our own money
and speak our own mind" said
Council Chairman, Joseph v. Baker
of Phhadelphia. executive secretary
for Negroes in American Industry
Baker said the Council function
would be to advise the Party, the
National Committee, to disseminate
information, sponsor meetings, and
to publish a monthly magazine
commencing this month.
Welcomed by Brownell
Commenting on the new organi
zation, Chairman Brownell said:
THE formation of the National
| Council of Negro Republicans is
gratifying evidence of a growing
realization on the part of American
| Negroes that their interests are
identified with the Republican Par
ty. We welcome their cooperation
and support.
For three quarters of century
| the Republican Party has exerted
itself INCREASINGLY to protect the
rights of the Negro. 1t will con-
tinue such efforts in the future
The Republican record in this re-
spect speaks for itself-in marked
contrast with the record of the op-
position party, which depends, fol
its very existence, upon the con-
tinued support of section in which
millions of American citizens are
prosecuted and denied the basic
rights of citizenship.
"The fact that the National Coun
Gil of Negro Republicans is an or
ganization completely independent
o fthe Republican National Com
mittee does not in any way decrease
our qualification at the formation
of the new group. The issue OF
inter-racial justice transcends par
ty organization.
Il am confident that American
Negroes know that their prospects
for victoy in the long uphill fight
fo justice will be enhanced tre-
mendously by a Republican victory
in 1916. The Republican Party well
comes the opportunity to render
this service to the cause of human
| justice"
