My colored friends just n word for you
I koow I hat you'll admit t'is true
Since my God made time und space
You have been mistreated by another race.
But let them alone God will lix them judgement day let them alone.
They make you work with nil your might
From morning noon untill the night
If for your rights you would speak up
They will tell you quick that is enough
But let them alone God will lix them judgment day let them alone.
They want you to work. wok hard
Just give you bread and a little lard
Because you know that they don't caro
Fur you are black and got notiy hair.
But let them alone God will fix them judgment day let them alono.
Yes they wnnt you to work from yrar to yprr;
But nothing nt the end you will clear
And when you ask for a settlement
They will put you off with ut your consent.
But let them alone God will fix them judgment day let them alnne.
And if they give you nothing at al'
Keep your mouth 01 get a ball
Over this don't grieve my ftiend
For God will fix it at the end ..'
They havo the money and the land
But keep your part out of your hand
Yes they want to satisy me and yon
On just one dollar bill or two.
Some times they die young and old '
Just because that they go cold " -
They fix it here of late:
You can't got yonr bands on your rebate;
But lst them alone God will fix them judgment day let them alone.

bnm Arkansas Florida Georg'a.
Louisiana Mississippi South
Carolina or Virginia U worth as
much as five votes cast in Connec
ticut New Jersey Ohio Michigan
Iowa New Mexico or Idaho.
Tho eight southern states en
umerated casta total of 511199
votes for tho election to members
to tit in tho Sixty-fourth Congress.
Tnis makes an average of 7745
rotes to each district the entire
number of districts returning G4
Democrats one Republican and
one Progressive.
For tho seven northern States
mentioned the total vote at the
same time was 2.587.402. or an
avcrngoof 39203 votes for each
district returning CO Republicans
and 10 Democrats. Thus slightly
over half a million southern voters
have 00 upokesraeu in tho House
of Representatives whereass it re-
quired more than two and a half
million northern voters to secure
equal representation. The inequali
ty in voting power is the outcome
of course of a basis of total popu
lation forming the several southern
Congressional Dist.whcrc the Neg'o
is counted in but his vote exclud-
ed. How long must this inequali-
ty continue? Aro the North ano
the Republican party to supinely
submit indefinitely to this condi
tion of affairs?
