National Association for the Advancement of Colored People PARTIAL RESULTS OF THE MOORFIELD STOREY DRIVE. THE extended period for the Moorfield Storey Drive for 50,000 members ended on May 31. Most of the branches are busy checking up the results from the different teams and individual workers, so that full results cannot be announced until next month. It is seldom that a campaign has aroused so much interest as this Drive, and this is especially encouraging since it indicates a marked increase in interest upon the part of the colored people in the work that the Association is doing. In addition to this interest on the part of the branches already established at the beginning of the Drive, the desire of other cities to be identified with the work of the Association has resulted in the establishment of 18 new branches with a total membership of 1593. The new branches that have been established with the number of charter members are as follows: Fayetteville, N. C. ... 25 Fort Worth, Tex. ... 117 Isthmian (Canal Zone, Panama) ... 27 Lynchburg, Va. .... 49 Roanoke, Va. ... 52 San Antonio, Tex. .... 400 San Jose, Cal. ... 42 Venice, Cal. ... 25 Western University (Kansas City, Kan.) ... 30 Wheeling, W. Va. ... 52 Winston-Salem, N. C. ... 80 Rocky Mount, N. C. .... 36 Lincoln, Neb. ... 47 Darlington, S. C. ... 25 Wilberforce, O. ... 318 Charlottesville, Va. ... 33 Cheyney, Pa. ... 79 Vallejo, Cal. ... 71 Asheville, N. C. ... 48 Salt Lake City, Utah ... 37 1593 A partial report of the branches which participated in the Drive, giving the number of new members since February 28th to June 1st is given below: Since February 28, 16,010 new members have been added, which with the 9869 members on February 28, and the 1593 members in the newly established branches gives a total membership to date of 27,472. This is far from being the complete total, since a large number of the branches have not as yet made any report, and many of the branches have made only a partial report. Below is given a list of branches with the membership on February 28 and the Drive Quota, and the number of members added from February 28 to June 1: [[4 columns]] BRANCH | MEMBERSHIP Feb. 28 | DRIVE QUOTA | ADDITIONS February 28 to June 1 Albuquerque | 26 | 182 | 14 Athens | 31 | 217 | 0 Atlanta | 140 | 980 | 0 Augusta | 57 | 399 | 9 Baltimore | 166 | 1162 | 7 Baltimore Co. | 26 | 182 | 0 Boston | 757 | 3028 | 447 Buffalo | 62 | 434 | 0 Camden | 42 | 292 | 0 Charleston | 59 | 413 | 598 Chicago | 185 | 1295 | 0 Cincinnati | 145 | 1015 | 463 Cleveland | 420 | 2100 | 355 Columbia | 46 | 322 | 5 Columbus | 220 | 1540 | 0 Danville, (Ill) | 16 | 112 | 1 Danville, (Va.) | 45 | 315 | 28 Dayton | 35 | 245 | 0 Decatur | 59 | 413 | 100 Denver | 81 | 567 | 20 Detroit | 116 | 812 | 1023 Des Moines | 65 | 455 | 2 Dist. of Columbia | 626 | 2504 | 6089 Durham | 28 | 196 | 1 East St. Louis | 17 | 119 | 0 El Paso | 76 | 532 | 0 Evansville | 21 | 147 | 0 Gary | 88 | 616 | 20 Greensboro | 27 | 189 | 19 Harrisburg | 42 | 301 | 0 Hartford | 122 | 854 | 13 Indianapolis | 21 | 147 | 468 Jacksonville, Fla. | 148 | 1036 | 274 Johnstown | 53 | 371 | 64 Kansas City, Kan. | 165 | 1155 | 346 Kansas City, Mo. | 48 | 336 | 1 Key West | 86 | 602 | 2
