Mrs. Danley is particularly in

outnumber men in the District Of

The National Emergency Civil

ment Of Colored People which will
be held in Washington, D. c., on
January Is thru II, is piling up
to a momentous pitch. Through
out the country there is a pub
licity campaign to make the Mo-
bilization the most successful ever.
The Daily EXPRESS is particul-
arly that Daytonians become fam
iliar with the Mobilization so that
there will be as large a repre-
s~entation there as possible. Whites
as well as onyone else.
This Mobilization was initial
ed by the NAACP upon the man
date of the 10th annual conven-
ton in Los Angeles last summer.
Thus far so national church, la
Dor, civic and fraternal organi-
tons have joined in sponsorship
o f the drive which will culmin-
ate with a conference and a lob

cipation in the conference are all
political parties and other labor
and civil organizations which the
national office considers leftist.
(These include the Civil Rights
Congress and all the Ten CLIO

cation.
Already mass meetings and

There is no better place to start
this fight than in the League of

educating women on the use and
the power o f the ballot. This
nationaal, non-partisan organiza-

men taking a more active part in
the government of their country
as well as in community activities

While the League of Women
