The National Non-Paroizan Negro ~~7 League was launched less than a" year ago. It* wus motivated by the dynamic of dissatisfaction with existing political conditions. We ht\d just passed through' eleven years 61' Republican rule, the last -hie; o4' ? . which had been under the pvesenT administration. During all of this time the Negro had been given n* adequate consideration. His. poli* cal estate had grown steadily worse His claims^Had been denied; his griev ances ignored. In the meantime vote less Southern Negroes had shifted 'Jo the North by hundreds of thousands with effective franchise. The two great* parties had come to a ^balaVicfe. The Republicans controlled the Senate by grace of the Progressives with e. majority of one The Democrats had a fragile majority or tnrce~nr-aonr in -the Hotnrep One Northern state after ano.her Siad gone Den-|>crat<ic by way of choise of governors; senatorjg. and representatives. The attitude of the two parties towards us was u.t parity. We had as many friends in Ilour.t and Senate on one side of the fence ?as on jhc other. Both aideuijftialiaotf that the Negro vote constituted tflc balance of power so strategically tiis tributed among the state8 that neith. er party had any hope-or expectauon of national victory without our help. But none of these things niov. ed President Hoover , who stood steadfast and unmovable in his' engineering frigidity towards our group claims. The presidential campaign waB getting under way. , Delegates were about to be chosen to the national conventions of both parvies, which were alike very frankly stmsitive to our just claims and demands 1 her., if ever. the psychology. cal moment. Under thv? magnetic leadership of Oscar DePritest, who at that time, focussed the political sense of the race, the. Non-Partizan Converence was called '.o meet in Washington. They answered the call it; unexpected numbers. They came from North and South, East ami,West, al. touching and agreeing on the same thing, namely that unweanable devotion to a single party had already been carried to the point of dim in isning wisaom. such unanimity ol sentimensuch enthusiastic concord with the opinion that wise political ***' aotion demanded p|aping race liefore party was never witnessed on rFus vVise b616K'.

In that capacity I consulted the opinion and judgement of all shades of political belief and opinion. My draft with suitable alterations ^and amendments wa?. enthusiastically adopted as the sense of *he conference and broadcast to the race and nation as focusing the. political mind of the Negro. With becoming modesty, I am willing to compare this paper with "any yet indicted by any Negro pen for its soundness in race statesmanship. t Even the never dying Negro -Republicans had vhc hardihood to condemn the fconferenci and Us deliberation> Irr"the jrtidst of it all he is reported to have said that.jt^js a crime for the Negro to divide m&xwote.
