Wilson Turned Out Negroes
The truth Is that the Wilson ad-
miniStration turned out all eol0red
as well as white Republican office
holders but failed and refused TO
replace eolored Republicans with
eolorsd Democrats except in the
miniStership 10 Liberia.
When the Republicans were re-

over the government in 1921, the
Harding administration would 20
only 30 far In restoring TO eolOred
Republicans the positions they had
formerly held under Republican ad.
ministrati0ns.
Presidents Coolidge and Hoover
did not improve upon the Harding
administration in this regard, sx-
eept that President Coolidge ap-
pointed the late Walter L. Cohen

toms at New Orleans over bitter
opposition.

Look at the position Of Jews in
this country. They number about
5000, 900, yet they hold all types
Of positions. Justice Felix Frank
furter Is an associate justice Of
the United States Supreme Court.
Before him were Justices Benjam-
In N. Card1za and Louis d. Bran

United States District Court in
the continental United States.
There are eOlored members Of
the bar who are every bit as well
qualified for appointment to the
United States Supreme Court
bench as some, IL not all, Of It's
present members. The only reason
none Is considered for u judicial
appointment, u Cabinet post, a

should retain their seniority and
whatever other rights they may
have acquired In the classified civ

In this latter respect colored

AFL OF New York City
Aims To Register Voters

New York City.-The AFL Cen
trail Trades and Labor Council or
dered an intensive campaign
among the 100000 AFL member
ship here to urge all workers to
register as voters in preparation
for the 1948 election year.
Moe Rosen, acting president of
the council, in an address before a
group of council delegates, said:
Because American workers fail
ed to take an hour out to register
and vote year ago, they have lost
many of the notable gains achiev-
ed in the last 10 years. Because
they failed in their duty to exer-
else their franchise, our country,
in most critical hour, has been
saddled with Congress which is
more interested in the allegedly
padded expense accounts of war
time press agents than in the ac-
tually lean bank accounts and in
comes of American consumers"
More than 100000 cards will
be sent out to AFL members and
their families urging them to reg
lister this October.
