I had followed, with a great deal of anger, the unfair attacks made upon you in the Amsterdam News. It seemed strange that none of he old timers in the city raised their voice in your behalf. You have done much, not merely for colored people, but for the city of New York generally. It was with a great deal of pride that I saw in the publication of the tiler, Union that yoa were not only indorsed, but marked and that the New ork Herald Tribune, in a very convincing editorial, urged your re elect' on.

It is passing strange that with all the advantages some of us hare had. that we do not pass out of the sphere of personal dislike and recognise merit I can assure you that had1 been living in New York. I would have' been with ycwln the midst of your fight. One thing is certain. Ed Warren, in spite of all that he was and stood for, would not have indorsed such a campaign of slander as the Amsterdam News waged.
