Chicago, Juno -29?Speaking last

17t Annual Conference of the National
* Association for the Advancement of ;
Colored People, \Villiam English Wal-1
ling, writer and lectrer, declared that1
the Negro must look for salvation!
elsewhere than in party politics. Mr. i
Walling urged that Negroes through-?
out the United States vote indepen-|
dnetly of established political parties,
' "As a persecuted minorjty the col/)
ored people must vote for their friends
absolutely regardless of party," de- ]
clared Mr. Walling. "And that i? ex->
^ actly what they are doing in.every'
Northern State. When ther$ is no1
friend to be voted for and no enemy '
to be voted against, a colored citizen
may vote for 'his'"Tjarty./ But even

"Non-partisan voting is compara

and with true vision for its own highest
interests we should have an ideal
commonwealth. It is to the general
interest that each group should attend
to Its own business?provided
that business is not conceived in -a
small-minded or shortsighted spirit.
We can never get anywhere by attending
to one another's business.
"But is this all that is needed to
make hte ballot effective? Can thd

against those who want to deprive
the voters of all effective power
over the social structure.?They must be
prepared to fight shoulder to shouj- ;

DYER RAPS REPUBLICANS FOR

Chicago, June 25?SpeaHing last
..might bifuic jlie 17th Annual^Cwi- '
ference o'f the National Association
?for-the Advancement of Colored People,
Representative L. C. Dyer, of Misrsouri,
blamed?Republican?Senators,
especially those on the Judiciary Committee,
who failed to suport the Mc
Kinley-Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which
! "would make lynching a federal of'
Tense ahff provides lor" a ' tine of $1U,;
boo to be-imposed upon any country
1 in which a lynching occurs, such sum
!! to be recoverable by dependants -of the
|, mob's victim.
'"i "A .sincere and earnest effort has
, been made by the House of Representatives
in the past several, Congresses
to pass this measure." .said. Con
gressman Dyer. "In the 67th Con '
grss, this legislation passed by a very
large majority. The United States
. senate iaiieu in tnat congress to
pass it. The House of Representa
tives has been ready, and still is, to
y has been considered useless, however,
^ to do so, in view of the action of the
j j Senate when this legislation went bei
rfore them in the GTth Congress. They
}-j allowed a small nunibbr of .Senators
\-ln put on a filibuster nn'l st?P Pas>
sage there. We all know that the Senf-ate
could then, uncbncotild now, if it
| would lini.it debate and' enable its
h members to vote'. With the House in
\ f.nui uf it, it could have bec6hie~g~
\\ law signed by the President .who hasJ;
I stated man^ t-imes that he favors it.
U "A hearing- was hold hv
jjciary Committee of the Senate upon
ij the Bill introduced- by Senator Melt
Kinley^-in the Senate, the same one
j that I introduced in the Hotise. At
J the hearing on February 16, a num*
ber of friends of this legislation ap>
peared in favor of it. Among them
J | was Mr. James Weldon Johnson, Sejjcretgry
of the National Association
j for the Advancement of Colored Feo}
" -A*
3 pie. He made a very splendid adf'dress
and furnished very complete
3 data and reasons for the enactment
? of tl^e legislation into law. In addi3
tion to this, he furnished an able le-"
s gal brief showing the constitutionality
o of the legislation. No one appeared
3 at the hesfring'Tn opposition to the Bill
3 Notwithstanding this, the Judiciary
5 Committee of the Senate not onljLhas
s failed, but it has refused by a yote
| of its members to favorably j'eport^
S this Bill to the Senate.
? I "Since the Judiciary Committee of
3 'he Senate has had this legislation di3
rectly before them, as stated above,
s and as thev have had a hearing upon
it and then refused to report it to the
Senate, it is apparent to everyone
jl_that the fault lies entirely with the
(! Senate, and that it would not only
i; be foolish from a legislative stand
!* point, but that it would be insulting
to those who are especially urging this
j legislation to keep repeatedly pas,
sing it in the House.
"A number of the Senators who rc,
cently have failed of renomination
I had my opposition. The chief~Te,
I sponsibility and the chief failure to
sjact, su far as this Congress is con.
cerned, lies wtih the Judiciary Committee
of the Senate. That the friends
I of this legislation may know who these
Senators are and where they are
