POOR ORIGINAL ESTABLISHED 1870 LEADING RACE JOURNAI THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 34 LINCOLN LEAGUE OF AMERICA IN CONVENTION (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, February 20. The first convention of the Lincoln League of America held at South and Metropolitan Episcopal Church, this city stands as the most remarkable political gathering of representatives of our group ever held in the United States. More than 400 delegates, and several hundred visitors, from 33 states of the union, gathered to Chicago to deliberate and take action on the questions of the day. The significance of the occasion was heightened not only by the fact that the delegates and visitors represented without question the experience, culture, wealth and economic political strength of the group, but by the appearance on the poram of four national characters two of whom are candidates for President of the United States. There, in order of appearance at the convention: Will H. Hays, Chair of the Republican National Committee; Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois; Mayor William Hale Thompson, of Chicago and Major Gene Leonard Wood, of the Central Department United States Army. The convention was called to order by Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, Mississippi, the attorney, $ \textcircled{1} $ the League, and one of most constructive political leaders of the country. Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons president of the Lincoln League of America, was introduced by Aerman Louis B. Anderson, of Chicago, and the big meeting swung into action, prayer being offered by Bet J. W. Ribbons, of Tennessee. It had been the purpose of the League have former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, of Louisiana, one of the honored guests of the invention, representing the "old guard" of the times that tried men's jobs but Gov. Pinchback's health wood not permit. There were, however many present who had come up tough that period, and they were introduced to the convention. Auton them were Masor John R. Lynch, former Congressman from Mississippi and for a number of years in the United States Army, as paymaster; all for a long time under command (General Leonard Wood; J. C. Nair, of Nashville, Tenn., former Reger of the treasury; W. H. Stewart, Louisville, Ky., editor of the American Baptist; Scott Bond, of Aransas, farmer and capitalist; I. F. Nois, of Seattle, Washington, former member of the legislature of Tennessee these men, although yet active in affairs of the race, expresses their great pride in seeing the Yinger men prepared to take up the active work of political and economic progress, and bade them God peace. Ralph W. Tyler, of Ohio, form Auditor of the Navy, spoke as a newspaper representative. Southern Representation The first subject to be discussed in the convention was "Should southern Representation be cut down"? While it was agreed that the disposition of this important object should be left to the resoums committee, the discussion was filled with dramatic moments when lewis from the various sections we expressed. The sentiment was overwhelming, however, for cuttitown representation, at the earliest possible time, in accordance with the actual vote, as has been done by the National Republican Committee, for delegates to the National Republican Convention. The discussion of "Jim Crow case" was opened by Charles A. Crittl former Collector of Internal revenue, Honolulu, H. I., a resident of Ohio. He was followed by James A. Cobb, former assistant District A The Caltturnta Layie torney. Washington in umbia.

It was very the discussion that utment prevails among action and results in the fered at this time by the discussions were remain absence of the feeling a radical agitation except it was made plain the Colored people are dexem some kind of hearing by of justice. All of the subjects here the convention were discussed in length by the able thinkers of the group in the country. It was very evident from the discussion that universal sentiment prevails among the people for action and results in the wrongs suffered at this time by the citizens. The discussions were reminable for the absence of the feeling anger and radical agitation except so far as it was made plain that 15,000,000 Colored people are demanded to get some kind of hearing before the bar of justice. Resolutions Adopted. At the final session of the convention, Thursday night, the resolutions were read by Attorney the Nutter, of New Jersey, and after short discussion by various delegates on some of the points, were minimously adopted. Among the leading press in the resolutions are: The Republican Praty called on to condemn mob violence and bring the crime of Lynching under Federal supervision; The endorser of woman's suffrage; The urging of Colored men to Join labor unions where it is demonstrated that there is no discrimination on the grounds of Race or Creed; The call can candidates for Congress and be president of the United States to deserve themselves on the subjects of incarring which Colored People are most concerned; The urging of the people at large to contribute more mercy to the expense of conducting political campaigns; The endorser of the League of Nations with no Lodge reservations; The Republican Party is accepted as the channel through which the League activiticide to be carried on. President Roscoe Conning Simmons presided at all the sessions of the League, and introduced the speakers for the various topics under consideration. One of the striking features of the convention was the inimitable eloquence with which Col Simmons presented the speakers, and this was particularly true of his introduction of the distinguished speakers of the other race. We ready and deep meaning satire, no after fact with reference to the two groups dwelling side by side in the United States, was driven home. Probably one of the most effective expressions of Col Simmons came after his description of how the white and colored people have been joined by God in working out the salvation of humanity in this country, he living a description of what each is doing, and then he added, amid great aplause; "What God has joined together, let not man put asuner." Distinguished Visitors Present. It is deeply significant of the times that there were present during the Lincoln eLague convention, Will H. Hays, chairman of the National Republican Committee; Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois; Maye William Hale Thompson, of Chicago and General Leonard Wood. All of these men constantly have more engagements than they can fill, but they regard no engagement of larger importance than their appearance at this convention, representative of the 15,000,000 Colored Americans, all of whom had their eyes turned to Chicago, and their ears to the receiver at the listening post, to hear their declarations on manhood rights, and the privileges of American citizenship. The first speaker Wednesday night was Chairman Hays. He launched into his subject with characteristic vigor, speaking straight from the shoulder of the things that he knows are uppermost in the mind of every Colored American. He denounced lynching as un-American and un-Christian and declared that in the matter of citizenship, the Constitution of the United States should be upheld. Mr Hays made it very plain that the Republican party this year does not pro San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1920 THE OLDEST pose to sidestep the responsibilities of the hour, but will face all subjects with a metateristic Americanism, for, he declared: "the history of the nation is the history of the Republican party." The address of Chairman Hays was received with great enthusiasm. Governor Frank O. Lowden followed. Governor Lowden took advantage of the occasion being on the eye of Lincoln's birthday, and the name of the league bring "Lincoln" and confirmed his remarks largely to an eulogy of the life of Abraham Lincoln. His address was interesting from that standpoint, but the vast assemblage was plainly disappointed because he failed to make an open declaration concerning his views on the critical subjects affecting Colored people. It was very evident that the Governor studiously and carefully avoided these subjects, it appearing at times as though he was embarrassed to find just the proper words to use. It had been announced that General Leonard Wood would appear at the Thursday morning session at 9.30 on his way from Minneapolis, Minn., to Cleveland, Ohio, where he was to deliver the Lincoln day address before the Tippecanoe Club. He was to have only two hours in Chicago, and much official work to look after. The audience assembled early, but it developed that the train from the west was two hours later. Mayor Thompson was to appear at seven and appeared practically on time, his appearance was announced by Edward H. Wright, and he was given an ovation. In the meantime, President Simmons announced that General Wood would undoubtedly appear later. The mammoth church by this hour was crowded to the doors with delegates and visitors. Mayor Thompson's address was typical of his belief in political equality and opportunity. He reviewed his career as mayor of Chicago, and told how he had always sought to uphold the constitution in the city for the people. He told why he appoints his assistants on merit, and not by race, and was loudly applauded. In the midst of the Mayor's address, General Wood arrived. He was given the greatest demonstration of the entire convention. Mayor Thompson discontinued his address for the time, and warmly grasped the hand of General Wood, while the audience applauded, and stood cheering. At the conclusion of the Mayor's address, President Simmons introduced General Wood, of the United States Army, as a "personal friend to the great American who believed in 'all men up.' Theodore Roosevelt." General Wood minced no words, nor did he lose time in making himself understood. His first words were "I believe in upholding the Constitution of the United States, and that means that I believe the laws should be obeyed by all, and that all citizens should enjoy the privileges under the constitution." He declared that the government stands first for law and order, upon which foundation only, can peace and harmony be maintained. General Wood denounced lynching and mob violence as one of the most dangerous conditions of American life and states that every interest of every group in all parts of the country must work for the elimination of the crimes in order that the majesty of the government must be upheld. He states that democracy must mean democracy at home and for the individual American, and that this is paramount to the troubles of Europe so far as America is concerned. He paid a tribute to the soldiers of our group, and when said: "The brave men of the Tenth Cavalry were with me in Cuba," here and there among the delegates and other persons present were at least half a dozen who arose and said: "I am one," the General saluting each in order, while the audience cheered to the echo. General Wood complimented the Lincoln League on the organized effort for better citizenship, stating that "It is only through intelligent organized effort, properly directed that the most good for all can be accomplished, and to which all are entitled to equal opportunity."

Ever since General Leonard Wood declared before the Lincoln League assembled in Chicago that he stood for equal rights, equal justice and equal protection to all citizens, in other words, that he stood for the Rooseveltian Square Deal and further stated that America must be made safe for Americans, hundreds have sent their names to be enrolled as charter members of the National Colored People's Wood-for-President-Club located in this city. Everyone feels that Leonard Wood will be the next great Republican leader because he is a real American like Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. F. B. Ransom recently appointed on the Indiana State platform committee to represent the Colored people of this State leans toward General Wood because he thinks Leonard Wood understands the needs of all the people of the United States and like Theodore Roosevelt will be able to put the country in line for greater progress in the next four years. Some other prominent leaders to take stand for Wood are Perry W. Howard, Jackson, Mississippi and Major John R. Lynch, ex-auditor of the Navy and at present residing in Chicago. All people wishing to be enrolled as charter members of the National Colored People's Wood-for-President-Club with headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana can do so by sending in their name and address at once to this association.

TALBERT, PRESIDENT NATIONAL COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS RECEIVES GREAT OVATION IN LOS ANGELES. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, President of the National Association of Colored Women's Cubs and one of the foremost women platform speakers of America today was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience, which crowded every available space in the 1st A. M. E. Church, 8th and Towne Avenue, Rev. A. M. Ward, Pastor, on Sunday evening in her farewell lecture to Los Angeles. Notwithstanding it was in the Church on a Sunday evening there were many outbrusts of applause. Mrs. Talbert held her audience in wonder and admiration from start to finish as she-told the story of our boys over there. Concluding she urged her auditors to get back to the old paths so that God could bless them and so that the colored people as a race could go forward. Mrs. Talbert paid a very high tribute to Mrs. Helen Curtis, widow of the late U. S. Minister to Liberia, James L. Curtis; and the first woman of our people to "go over there." She declared that Mrs. Curtis did more work in a day than any ten women could do and told how they (she and Mrs. Curtis) worked together side by side during her four motnhs stay in France. Mrs. Talbert was a Y M. C. A. Secretary in Romagne. She has a letter from King Albert of Belgium thanking her for the work of the colored women in behalf of his country and promising a cessation of all atrocities in the African Colonies and declaring the establishment of schools in the colonies for the natives in Africa. In addition to this Mrs. Talbert is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Fannie Fern Andrews of Boston Massachusetts announcing her appointment to serve as one of seven upon the "Committee on Personnel" of Representation in the League of Nations. The work of the committee concerns the whole subject of women's participation in the League of Nations.

COME EARLY TO GET A SEAT Greatest Musical Event of the Séason Admission - - - 50 and 75 Cts. the things now involved concerning the Negro cannot be over estimated for they reach down to the very foundation of our moral, social and applitting institutions and existences. Look at it as we may, it is impossible to separate man from his impulses or character; so it is that from the doings of the Negro race to a large extent the verdict which shall analyze the integrity of the Afro-American and calyssify his progress and achievements is deduced. To think of the Negro of yesterday and how deserving he has been, how oedient, how subservient; how the benighted Negro has turned as they would have him turn to the duties of the hour and the hopes of the future—how he has turned to prepare him, self for the struggles under the same standard as borne by other hands, by right of true inheritance—how honor, courage, purity of life, domestic virtue, love of country, loyalty to high ideas all of these combined with active intelligence and experience in affairs makes me wonder what other misfortunes have my people, to endure before we shall be adjudged the full possession of all the immunities of American citizenship. But today, ah! I see that same old ebonized face, that same texture of the hair, that same conformity of facial lines, but a bigger, brighter smile, a more concentrated expression and the spirit of Uncle Tom Negro of yesterday—begging and humbling for what he received is today standing face to face with the situation and instead of begging he is demanding what rightfully belongs to him. Mob rule—riots and Klanning is only evidence of unscrupulous and cunning notice but the lesson taught the Lawless element of whites in Chicago and Kentucky, is only a demonstration that this new Spirit that regenerated the Negro unite a Man with Manhood, instead of a pigmy with manners has made for himself new friends in the White race that will stand by him for accolade. Justice and Fair Policy must mark the march of America on civilization and unless it does, this New Spirit of the Negro will be the world know THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN. JOHNSON ROOSEVELT'S CHOICE. ROOSEVELT ENDORSEMENT GIVEN TO JOHNSON. (Staff Correspondent Universal Service.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 24—The supporters of Senator Hiram W. Johnson in his campaign for the Presidency sprang a sensation here today by making public a letter written by Col. Theodore Roosevelt; which they claim gives Johnson a clear title to be Roosevelt's successor as a national political figure. In the litter Col. Roosevelt said that "of all the public men in the country he (Johnson) is the one with whom I find myself in most complete sympathy. You are perfectly safe in following his lead." The letter was written in January, 1916, and Johnson's supporters assert that friendly relations existing at that time between Johnson and Col. Roosevelt continued without a break down to the time of Roosevelt's death. Col. Roosevelt wrote the letter to Edgar Williams, president of the Civil Service Commission of California, and it was made public by Representative John A. Elston, of California, with the permission of Mr. Williams. This is the history of the letter: Mr. Williams had an interview with the fate Booker T. Washington to whom he propounded the question. "Whom do you regard as the greatest man of your lifetime? Washington promptly replied: "Roosevelt." After the death of Washington Mr. Williams wrote to Colonel Roosevelt and related the incident. He also asked for an expression on the existing political situation. In reply he received the following letter: "Oyster Bay, L. l., Jan. 19, 1916. 'My dear Mr. Williams: "I am touched with what you tell me about Booker T. Washington. I appreciate your letting me know. As for my views on the situation, I simply do not know what to say. I am trying to keep in touch with Hiram Johnson, for of all the public, men in this country, he is the one in whom I find myself in most complete sympathy. You are perfectly safe in following his lead. "With all good wishes. "Edgar Williams. Esq. "President State Civil Service Commission, Sacramento. Calif." It is fully expected that the production of this letter will draw comment from some of the other presidential candidates, notably General Leonard Wood, who have been coply responsible for suggestions that they individually were best equipped to carry on the Roosevelt policies. plaud their ungodly persecution. The American in general and the Negro particularly has but one chance and that comes' in November. Unless, some recognition is given towards the rights of citizenship for the Black Man and engendered into the Political platform of the National parties, commerce and agriculture will surely suffer for labor in 1921.

Mrs. Harper questionably is the most talented woman so far that has appeared in our community, and the Ministers have but done their duty to indorse her, and to start off by arranging a great Mass Meeting in one of our large Churches that the greatest number of our people can hear her; after this she will appear in the several Churches at the invitation of individual Ministers. Great preparations are being made for the Anniversary exercises of our Deaconesses which will take place Sunday at 3 P. M.

It seems as though the Lincoln League at Chicago at least succeeded in getting our case stated, as evidenced by the attendance on the Convention of Will H. Hayes, Gov. Lowden, General Wood and other noted Republican leaders. Let the good work go on. Sometimes we criticise our people for hatred and prejudice toward one another, but we don't know but what the white folks have got us skinned a country block even at that game for their hatred along political lines know no bounds, the only difference is the white folks when a particular fight is over forget it; and grant an armistice until the next fight is on. But our people never forget and therefore hatred, envy and prejudice reigns forevermore. Three Colored journals in Los Angeles, one the New Age, lined up for Hoover, the unknown for president. The Citizens Advocate for Single Tax and other Socialistic bunk, while the Soaring Eagle has its ears to the grass roots, listening for the interests of the people. In due time we shall tell them what we discern and report what we see that we may continue to unselfishly serve them in the great crisis which means so much for our future prosperity. Watch the Soaring Eagle. Hoover may be all right for Wall Street the rich men of the Country and the birds who have already feathered their nest; but for the plain common every day working man and woman we got enough Hoover during the war to hold us for a while. And then too we are Republican to the core, if you please. Now what's Hoover? We certainly have heard no expression from him, when the battle four years ago was on; we heard him not: We went down in the Valley of despair as the Blight of Wilsonism crossed our path; no Hoover to cheer us on our way and now as we look at a rift in the clouds it is sought to again befuddle the issue and give to us an "Unknown" who is neither hot nor cold. From this condition we pray oh Father deliver us. STEPPING OUT. For once the people as evidenced in the remarkable interest displayed at this early stage on things political, have stepped out and on their own motion for the great principles involved in a presidential campaign the movement will doubtless extend even further and permeate the recesses of our manifold local situations. They have demonstrated their keen interest to the utmost. This being so it augers well for a heavy registration and equally and intense educational program to make each citizen realize the great importance of putting the best man in front. Therefore when the various claims of the many aspirants come forth they will be scrutinized by the people and they will indeed be in a position to give to each claim an intelligent consideration. We urge upon the people to see to it that they become interested in our government to the utmost, and in doing so they shall indeed be doing the things worth while. ORGANIZED LABOR AND THE NEGRO. Among other things, brought on and left with us by the war is the change in the attitude of labor unions toward the Negro laborer. This change has been a long time coming and is still and as these occasions arise, the change becomes more and more evident. We're not unappreciative of this change of attitude nor of any change that means betterment, but it is a question in our mind as to whether this is one 'strictly' of a friendly nature or not. Let us see: It may be recalled that for the past fifteen or twenty years, and longer in certain sections, the unions have virtually controlled the labor of this country in all lines, the control being more nearly complete during the few years just preceding the war. They dictated the wage, the hiring and the "firing" in hundreds of big manufacturing corporations. They even took this control by contract and the corporations could only finch. It may likewise be recalled that during this time unions entirely excluded the Negro workman. This was the period too, when the Negro most needed the helping hand. Young men were being sent out from our best institutions in the greatest numbers, full of ambition and prepared for almost anything; just screaming for an opportunity but the door was shut to them. Even common labor in certain sections was monopolized by unions. In Chicago there were no Negro teamsters because they could not join the union. In New York no Negro freight handlers nor longshoremen for the same reason,—and so it was in every line that could be organized, and the work of the nation was being done by everybody, including the foreign "riff-raff" from Europe, except the Negro. He was only fit for the fields and forests of the South where he must work under conditions second only to slavery. And then came the war. First the foreigner went or was called home to fight or otherwise aid his country in the war emergency. They left these shores by the thousands before America entered war. And then America entered and her own sons were sent away,—the black with the others. But it was discovered early in the game that somebody was going to be needed to carry on the work of the nation which would be redoubled by the war and to fill the gaps left by those who went away. THE NEGRO WAS CALLED,—not by the unions but by an emergency over which the unions had no control—and HE RESPONDED READILY AND SATISFACTORILY. What was begun as an experiment turned out to be a "find" and now the Negro workman has made a permanent place in the industries of the North and East, and is fast coming into his own in parts of the South. Are the unions in any way responsible for this? It would rather seem that the new attitude on the part of Organized Labor in admitting the Negro, is more one of apprehension or self protection instead of friendliness; but even so, we would not object. The main fact of the matter is that this attitude comes at a time when it is less needed or even desired by the Negro laborer than ever before. When one remembers that the record of Organized Labor during the war was not exactly rose-tinted nor otherwise very beautiful, with still no great improvement, then it appears all the more undesirable that the Negro enter their ranks. He can't quite afford it just now. The Present pace of the union is too swift for him.

WHEREAS Bro Murray was a good and faithful member of our Church and so lived that life among us, he was a dutiful member of our Choir and was at one time Chorister. He could always be found at his own volunteer health admi- for him. No one who has ever heard him in that deep hue, voice can ever forget him, he knew his duty and loved to do it. He was one that loved his curch and loved its pastor and always spoke of him in the highest terms. Bro. Murray was known wherever he went as a singer. All who came in contact with him could not help but love him, as he was so much like a father. APPEARING we how in humble sub-mission to the will of our heavenly father resulting that all He does is for the good of his children as he is too good to do wrong and too wise to make a mistake and we feel and know that our brother is still living in a brighter and fairer world where no stains, sorrow, pain or death, is ever known and where we too shall all be gathered together, when our life's work is indeed if we live the life of Christ, therefore. HE IS SAVVENED: That we, Pastor, Officers and members of the Tabernacle Baptist Church extend to this family our heartfelt sympathy and kind condolence and do now enter into sympathy with them as much as is possible for us to do, for Paul tells us to sorrow not as though we had no hope. We commend them to our Heavenly Father who alone can comfort them in this the hour of their sorrow and who has also said cast thy burdens upon me and I will sustain. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That these resolutions be read and a copy given the family of our brother Done by order of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. REV. J. D. GORDON, Pastor J. A. SANDRIDGE, Cor. Secy. BULK OF DR. ANDERSON'S ES. TATE GOES TO YOUNG WOMAN AND SISTERS WOMAN AND SISTERS Harrodsburg, Ky., Feb. 14.—(News Special)—The will of Dr. J. S. Anderson, noted herbalist, formerly of Kingston; Tenn., often referred to as the "Indian Doctor," has been made public and shows that his more than half a million dollar estate, including four lots and six buildings at Kingston, Tenn.; 374 acres of farm land in Pulaski County, estimated to be worth $100 per acre and an automobile, goes to Miss Dessie Darland, a young white woman, former school teacher of Harrodsburg; who want to Kingston as a patient of Dr. Anderson, but remained as his private secretary. Her two sisters, Misses Myrtle and Bertina, jointly receive a house and lot in Ferguson, Pulaski County. Dr. Anderson, known almost nationally as "the Indian Doctor," is said to have effected cures, some chronic cases, which were considered wonderful. He was a thoroughbred Negro, having been known from birth by many East Tennesseeans. For many years he operated at Kingston, Tenn., a little village near Harrimann, and erected large sanitariums there to care for the hundreds of patients that looked to him from all sections of the country. Included in his great number of patients are said to have been men and women of wealth and distinction. He caused the eyes of the country to center on the little town in which he practiced. His career was rather a stormy one in Tennessee and as the result of certain indiscretions, involving a young white girl, he was hailed before the courts and later forced to leave for Kentucky where he plied his trade. He gave several thousand dollars to the State University of Kentucky, for Colored, shortly before his death which occurred several months ago. —East Tenn. News.

Park Avenue Baptist—Although the rain was falling in torreits on Sunday morning last, the Sunday School was well filled with pupils—old and young. The lesson was made very interesting by the pastor and teachers. Collection was very good. The pastor, Rev. W. H. Rozier, preached a very powerful sermon at 11 o'clock from the subject: "Faith." Many strong testimonies were given by some of the members, testifying to miraculous healings through faith for which we are giving God the praise. At 6.30 the B. Y. P. U. convened with a large attendance. The pastor gave a very interesting and beneficial talk on the "Articles of Faith" which was very much enjoyed. Everyone present discussed the subject—"Why I am a Baptist." Some very thoughtful and helpful answers were given. At 8 o'clock services the Pastor spoke from the text: "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." It was most wonderful—full of spirit and power. The Choir was out in full, and sang excellently well. Several visitors were present, and expressed themselves as having been greatly blessed. We hope they will come again. All are welcome. The sick of the Church are rapidly recovering, for which we are thankful. Mrs. Carrie Jackson is much improved. The Church is in a splendid condition, both spiritually and financially and all are looking forward to the 2nd Sunday in March, when we hope to raise $1,000 on the new church building.

(Continued from Page One) Lincoln Convention Notes Attorney William C. Hueston, of Kansas City, and Gary, Ind., responded with Websterian eloquence to the address of Mayer-Thompson. Bert Roddy, of Memphis, Tenn., banker and head of the Roddy chain of stores, was a fine example of the commercial side of the convention. Isaac Nutter, of New Jersey, chairman of the Resolutions Committee was on the job. He lost his voice but he did not lose his head, quite. Attorney Henderson of Indianapolis, played the important role of "I must, I will be heard." For political activity, the Congress Hotel didn't have a thing on the magnificent Hotel Vincennes Convention week. A. N. Fields, publicist for the Lowden campaign committee, seemed to be saying concerning his chief: "He arguifies and arguifies, but he don't get anywhere." Charlie' Cottrill, of Toledo, and Jimmy Cobb of Washington, told tales out of school, and Frank Hitchcock's ears must have burned. The resolutions committee personnel might well grace the Congressional directory, and it is certain that there would be some things doing on Jim crow cars, lynching, disfranchisement and other un-American institutions. A telegram of praise was sent Governor Morrow of Kentucky for his valor in upholding the constitution and the law. Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, of Cleveland and Alderman George W. Harris of New York, were publicly introduced to Mayor Thompson. Among the stalwarts: Dr. E. E. Underwood, Ky.; Charles Calloway, Mo.; J. M. Nell, Dr. Philips, St. Louis; A. W. Lloyd, Mo.; Joseph H. Jones, Ohio; Wm. McDonald, J. B. Grigsby, Tex.; J. McHenry, Ga.; Joe Watson, Ga.; E. G. Tidrington, Ind.; E. L. Wheaton, Ga. The next session of the Lincoln League will be held in Indianapolis, 1922. Make reservations early. Robert R. Church, "the power behind the throne," was in on all the "deep stuff" but President Simmons finally "got him before the people" just before final adjournment, and "Bob" was given an ovation, to which he responded with dine wisdom and sensible eloquence. Those active in promoting the interests of Leonard Wood for president, "stole a march" on the other presidential candidates by having Leonard Wood headquarters opened at the Hotel Vincennes, where the enthusiasts gathered and exchanged greetings. Major John R. Lynch and Judge Moore were the hosts of the occasion. Nearly $2,000 was raised in one public collection for the Lincoln League activities. But like the man who was running from the ghost, it is being said: "This ain't nothing to what we're gonna do." Walter L. Cohen, of Louisiana, treasurer of the League, and Republican political monarch of all he surveys in Louisiana, was there with activity and ability. The famous Appomattox Club did the honors for; the delegates at a smoker Wednesday night after the session, and the boys did the honors to the smoker. The annual Eight Regiment dance happened at the psychological moment; Thursday night, and the picture was one of entracing beauty and bewildering grandeur. Col. Duncan, Col. Marhall, Col. Dennison, Col. Johnson, with Majors, Captains, Lieutenants, Sergeants, Corporals and "buck privates" galore, put the last word to the event in military atmosphere. Col. Simmons referred to the Associated Negro Press as "the largest combined force in Negro journalism today." The A. N. P. was on the job, covering the convention in detail, furnishing stenographers free of charge to the delegates at the hotel; opening its executive offices in the loop for downtown headquarters for the delegates, and giving a dinner for the visiting newspaper men at the Appomattox Club. Thursday evening, Among those present and invited to the dinner for the Fourth Estate were: Webster L. Porter, East Tennessee News; William Warley, Louisville News; W. P. Kemp, Detroit Leader; J. E. Mitchell, St. Louis Argus; George P. Steart, Indianapolis Recorder; J. Anthony Josey, Wisconsin Weekly Blade; George W. Harris, New York News; Capt. Jackson McHenry, Atlanta Independent; Ralph W. Tyler, Cleveland Advocate; Leon A. Gimore, Houston Observer; C. F. Richardson, Houston Informer; J. C. Brown, Indianapolis Ledger; Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville Globe; William H. Stewart, The American Baptist and James Weldon Johnson, The New York Age. The Mos. Thos. W. Fleming and Mrs. Ida Vells Barnett demonstrated to the convention that the women will soon show the men how the political game should be played according to Hoyle. President Simmons is to appoint a Publicity Committee of seven Publicity Committee of seven. Henry Lincoln Johnson, secretary of the League, was kept so busy taking notes that he had to commandeer a stationery store in the neighborhood. Perry W: Howard, of old Mississippi, felt so good when Gen. Leonard Wood came marching down the aisle, amid the cheers and loud hosanas of the assembled throng, that he almost performed the boyhood trick of jumping up and cracking his heels together twice. So far as Perry is concerned, it's all over but the count, but it is supposed the Wood forces will keep on the job for appearance sake, if nothing else. Now, the country will comment on the results of the Lincoln League convention. There will be praise and there will be some criticism. There may be an attempt at a "rump convention" or two. The promoters of the League must be prepared for any event, and above all must make themselves worthy of the trust imposed in them by people. Constructive criticism cannot be objected to, and should be welcomed, but petty fault finding is detestable, and should be avoided.

The big success of the initial meeting of the Republican Club will bring out a banner crowd at the meeting on Monday night. The political atmosphere is quite murkey at present and all waiting for a definite line up. All of the incumbent judges of the Superior Court except Judge Works have announced their candidacies for re-election. It develops that there is much playing for place in the proposition of a Colored delegate to the National Convention. Judge Gavin Craig is a prime favorite with the plain common everyday people and they will never hesitate to give to him a strong support. Frank Mouser is being doped off as an easy winner for Senatorial honor in the 29th district this time. Judge J. W. Summerfield will make a winning race any time he starts, so look out if he enters he will win. The Episcopal Evangelist the Rev. George Alexander McGuire, M. D., will preach his three last sermons on Sunday: Morning, 11 A. M., "It is good to be here;" Evening 8 p. m., "Are you sure that you are Saved;" and at the Y. M. C.
