in this country depends on ra-i

stock, you get a prettily decorat

_ A number of minor - leaders
-have lately lent encouragementj
to the white district leaders who I
have always chafed under thej
knowledge'that a Negro exerted5
greater influence in the councils^
of the party than could - any of |
them representing but a single;
district. The Negro leaders'
who demand that- the Negro be|
ehlisted-as^art of the local dis-j
trict organizations, most of them I
occupying positions at the hand!
of Morton, are doing so in the
nope that they/may become of
more consequence in their respective
districts as the white
leaders' "Men Friday" than they
can be under the conditions that
prevail.
If the desirecTclfange is effeeted,
it will mean the absorption
of the Negro Democrat into the
many District units of the big
organization and place the little
groups of each district in a position
where little influence or
pressure can be brought to bear
on conseqi^entiak matters by any
of _them. - However, that is the
effort that is being made.
