THE INDICATIONS ARE AT THIS WRITING THAT HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS. HE CONDUCTED A CLEAN AND VIGOROUS SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN WHICH REFLECTED THE HIGHEST GENTLEMANSHIP AND CITIZENSHIP ON HIS PART. OSCAR DE PRIEST, A. J. CAREY AND L. K. WILLIAMS FAILED TO TOTE ALL THE VOTES OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN THIS CITY AROUND IN THEIR HIP POCKETS AND THE BETHREN ARE BECOMING WISE TO THEIR DOUBTFUL LEADERSHIP. NEVER AGAIN WILL THE FALSE LEADERS OF THE RACE BE ABLE TO SELL OUT THE COLORED VOTERS TO THE DEMOCRATS NOR TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR UNTOLD SUMS OF MONEY. For Capt. Oscar E. Carlstrom, who will be the next Attorney-General of Illinois, if he lives, has solemnly promised to conduct all of the affairs of that important office in the interest of the common people and not in the interests of the big grasping corporations who are ever ready to squeeze every ounce of the very life blood out of the great mass of the toiling millions. At this writing it is very hard to form a clear idea as to the nomination for United States Senator from Illinois, the followers of Senator McCormick contend that in the final THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 12, 1924 wind up he will win the nomination. On the other hand the supporters of Hon. Charles S. Deneen firmly believe that at the last point, or at the other end, he will secure the nomination. At this time there are in the neighborhood of three hundred precincts scattered throughout this state which have not been canvassed and no returns have been received from any one or any canvassing board as to the number of uncounted ballots laying round in the ballot boxes, which may in time play an important part in the senatorial contest, and may mean either the defeat of Mr. Deneen or Mr. McCormick. The uncertainty as to the final out come of the senatorial contest is very trying on the nerves of the supporters of both of the distinguished candidates. It may be said to the ever lasting credit of Mr. Deneen, that he conducted a clean and brilliant senatorial campaign and that there was no mud slinging on his part which is ample proof that he is constructed of the proper material to represent this great state in the United States Senate. At the beginning of the senatorial contest, a strong and systematic effort was made to array all of the colored people against Governor Len Small and Mr. Deneen. Some of the most corruptable and debauching methods were resorted to on the part of the colored men selected to handle the colored voters, especially in this city. Oscar DePriest and A. J. Carey were the two leaders who were supposed to have charge of all of the unsavory missionary work in connection with the transferring of all of the votes of the colored people to Senator McCormick and to State Senator Essington. It will be recalled that at the spring election in 1923, it was claimed, although it may not be true, that Oscar DePriest and A. J. Carey received twenty thousand dollars or more for their efforts in handing over all the colored votes in this city to the head leaders of the Democratic party. That many Democratic meetings were held in many of the colored churches and especially the Methodist Churches; that the smaller churches received fifty dollars for each Democratic meeting held in it; that the larger churches such as Bethel Church, 42nd and Grand Blvd., received one hundred dollars and possibly more. At the beginning of the recent senatorial contest it was announced through the columns of the daily newspapers that Oscar DePriest and A. J. Carey would turn over heaven and hades in a bold effort to deliver the colored voters in this city to Senator McCormick and State Senator Essington. It was freely herald abroad that these two eniment citizens or at least one of them would have full charge of the campaign of the two gentlemen already mentioned. That one hundred thousand dollars was placed under the control of Oscar DePriest to enable him to labor among the brethern. Many meetings were held in various churches and presumably the preachers of these churches received their bit out of this political corruption fund. Some of the preachers grew red in the face and became very eloquent in their condemnation of Governor Small notwithstanding the fact that some of those same preachers had received many favors from his hands in the past. On Sunday, April 6th, many meetings were held in the colored churches on the south side. (The Chicago Tribune claims that twenty-two of the leading preachers bitterly denounced Governor Small form their pulpits), and it is further claimed that on that same Sunday or the Lord's Day, that Oscar DePriest contributed five hundred dollars to each of the twenty preachers who ranted and snorted against Governor Small and that no secret was made of the fact that one hundred thousand dollars belonging to Senator McCormick, was in sight to corrupt and buy up the colored voters in this city. Rev. L. K. Williams, who holds forth at Olivet Baptist Church, who in our opinion thoroughly disgraced himself in his unministerial conduct in his bitter and firey attack on Governor Small. He simply hurt himself M. HON.

The ordinary citizen cannot entertain much respect for preachers, when they conduct themselves in such an unchristian spirit and manner. The colored race will never be able to throw off the yoke of oppression and the load stone which hangs around their necks until they rid themselves of their political money mad preachers. Notwithstanding their reprehensible method, the great majority of the colored voters in this city made up their minds on Tuesday, April 8th, that they were not going to permit themselves to be sold one year to the democrats, for a large sum of money which did not benefit them the least and the next year to be sold to one of the factions of the republican party for still a larger sum of money which was of no benefit to them, so they stood true to their colors and voted in favor of the re-nomination of Hon.

ASKS COLORED PEOPLE TO NAME SUBJECTS FOR DISCUSSION VITAL TO RACE N.A.A.C.P. Planning to Make Phila delphia Conference Representative of Public Opinion New York.—Colored people throughout the country are being asked to suggest subjects which they believe to be vital to the welfare of their race, for discussion at the Fifteenth Annual Conference of the National Association, for the Advancement of Colored People, which is to be held in Philadelphia this June. According to announcement made at the N.A.A.C.P. National Office, it is planned to make the Philadelphia session a "delegates conference" and to give colored people from all parts of the United States opportunity to voice their attitude toward public questions. In order to assure to delegates to the Conference a reduced railroad fare, dependent upon certification of 250 applications, the N.A.A.C.P. is planning to have members of branches near Philadelphia secure their certificates in large numbers, in behalf of the delegates who have to travel from a distance. In view of the Conference being held in the year of a Presidential election, it is requested that all persons wishing to forward suggestions for subjects of importance to the race to be discussed, send them to Walter White, Secretary of the Conference, 69 Fifth avenue, New York City.

The N.A. A.C.P. made public a clipping from The Post, a white newspaper of Birmingham, setting forth the facts: Threatening to use "hatpins and other instruments of defense" unless conditions on street cars are improved as regards to treatment of Negroes, a fiery petition has been addressed to the City Commission by the Colored Inter-Denominational Ministers Alliance of Greater Birmingham.

Harrison without comment. The Negroes' letter charged that their sections of the cars are continually invaded by white people. Then follows the threat, which said: "White men and boys are allowed to crowd the platform and smoke. White boys stand on the platform in a position to press purposely against Negro women when leaving the car. This condition is very acute and our women are determined to use their hatpins and other instruments of defense if this evil continues." The petition complains that space arrangements are inequitable and that frequently white passengers invade the trailers for Negroes, and that no matter how few white people or how many Negroes, there is no relief "until the last white man gets off." "We are not contending for race intermingling," the petition said, "or what some people denominate as social equality, but we are contending for justice and fairness.

STUMP, THE OLD TIME TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, AFTER SPENDING A FEW DAYS IN WASHINGTON, D. C., HAS STRUCK OUT FOR POINTS IN FLORIDA WHERE HE WILL SPEND SOME TIME. Denmark, South Carolina.—Did you ever ride a goat? It matters not whether it was a Billy Goat or his sister, the result is about the same, and when you get through then you are supposed to be a member of the craft or the craftereen. You will know more kinds of signs and pass words and other words. Become mysterious way you can tell each rider in the dark as well as in the light, and they band together or they band apart. Do you know them goat riders are doing great things, these days and I am inclined to take just a little more part in them and some day I might get to be some pumpkins in them with the accent on the pumpk. I have just gotten away from one of the big meetings and had the pleasure of seeing the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Masons under the jurisdiction of Florida with Most Worshipful David D. Powell, the grand master, and he is surrounded by a body of well up-to-now educated men—men with brain and money—men in every walk of life, and some of the best men in the state of Florida, ministers and laymen, old and young, high and low, and they do things in good shape. If you remember, I have been in Georgia, but recently I have been in Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas, and back to Florida in time to go to see the Masons in session, and without counting the cost, I just decided that I was going to see them out, and you can just bet your last dollar I got to see them out, although they branded me with a red hot iron putting a G on me where I cannot see it myself, nor am I permitted according to law to show it to my lady friends, hence they will just have to guess, and look at me as I pass by, and say "There goes a branded Mason." I got in the big hall, and I want you to know that the finest hall in this country owned by my people is the one in Jacksonville, known as the "Masonic Temple," and honey it is just some temple. Two lifts known as elevators with polite, courteous young women tote you up and down. You may go up as high as possible and go down as far as possible, and then just get off and shout your fool brains out. But now about me in the big hall. I was seated in the corner, and that Grand Master with an eye like an eagle looked at me, and I believe he looked me through and through, and said: "While we thus in our sanctification, who is the stranger who dares put his feet on the mud pie dough without having on the wedding garment. The high tatum will select two bouncers and proceed to see if he is entitled to remain in his hiding place." Two men rushed to me, brought me right up in the middle of the floor, standing before that giant, so to speak. I don't know as I have ever seen such a high specimen of humanity as this Grand Master. He looked to me like he was 20 feet tall, but I think he was not so tall. My eyes for the time being were in eclipse. He made some kind of a motion at me, and I looked wise, and believe before I found myself looking otherwise, for six big men laid their hands on me, stood on my head, and for one time I was reversed upside down, and down side up. Hence I could not use my walkers, and was at the mercy of the men. They tied my hands and feet, stopped up their nose and pulled off my shoes, my last hope of defense, and then with a red hot iron, after taking off other clothes stuck it to me, and had me so that I could not cry out. I believe in my soul that my mouth jumped out of my heart. Then followed the goat which they trotted out for me to ride, and I am here to tell you that I stuck to him for a few minutes, but he dumped me off into a big hole filled with water, and I went down to the bottom. They fished me out, put a new song in my mouth, and gave me the pass word which was "Cow Bones and Hog Huff." One of the men punched me in the nose, but that was not the place they seemed to want to work. When they got through working on me, they proceeded to go into a grand lodge session. It was called the 54th annual communication. It has gone down into history as one of the greatest meetings of the age. It was a meeting of men, Grand Master Powell is without a doubt a leader of men. He is a worker. When he was made Grand Master, he found a heavy debt on the temple, but it has been wiped out now, and the temple be- longs to the Union Grand Lodge in fee simple absolute. Not a dollar in mortgage or anything else do they owe. They have all their claims paid up, and it is said that they have over half a million dollars assets—cash and property, and it does not yet appear where they may yet land. Now here are men together who believe in, preach and practice manhood. They believe in the protection of womanhood. They believe in providing for the widows and orphans, and even providing for their own men at the time when their feet begin to go slow, and their knees shaking. When they are not able to provide for themselves, then the Masons take hold of them and tell them to spend the rest of their days resting from their labor. The Masons of Florida, have not only purchased land and erected the temple, but they have purchased a whole town, and they own it from stem to stem and from kiver to kiver, and they are not making much fuss about it. It was called Cisco, and by unanimous vote they changed the name to David City, which is the first part of Grand Master Powell's name, and they took my cash and subscription, a big hunk of money, to make improvements. You may put it down that I told you that my people are getting some pride these days, and they have decided that this is not an age for grumblers, but the age for the doingsmethings. The report of A. L. Lewis, grand treasurer of the M. B. A., was a gem. It was something worth listening to, for he had handled the money, and reported on it. He is the custodian of nearly half a million dollars, and still they are meeting their expenses and providing some for the rain, sleet and snow. They believe in looking after self while it is day, for the night may come and catch you unprepared. Catch your lamps empty. On the fourth floor is to be found the Eastern Star, and the office of the Venerable H. Y. Tookes, of the Heroines of Jericho. The Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star was in session, and it was presided over by Mrs. Inez T. Alston, one of the grand women of this race. She is a teacher in the public schools of Tampa, and a real worker. We have so much progress in this world we do not know what we have got. I think it is time for the race to stop and check up. Take an inventory and see where we are AT today. So see what great things we have wrought, and we are still going on up the scale. We have decided to shake on to the top. Dr. Powell leading the men and Mrs. Inez Alston leading the women, things are going to be accomplished. I saw next Bishop R. A. Grant, and his friends, and then I saw some other big men, Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress, which will meet April 29, in Mt. Carmel Baptist church, Washington, D. C., was on hand, and he did make one more speech. He is doing something for this people, and is indeed a wonderful man. We should all go to Washington and back him up in his efforts to do something for us. He is just doing things, and I am real proud of him. I also had the pleasure, if it is a pleasure, of hearing Chas. Stewart, from Chicago. I do not know just what he said, but he was with them Masons. They made him welcome, and I was made welcome also after I had gotten over the fright. I met Mrs. E. J. Colyer, who is at the head of the Calanthe Courts of this state, and a wonderful woman. Then there was also Mrs. Johnson, who is at the head of the Household of Ruth, and there were still others, but I will not be able to mention them this week. I was the guest, of President and Mrs. J. C. Wright, of Edward Waters college, and I hope you will just imagine me stopping with them educators, and I was so educated that I could not eat because I was bashful. Of course, Rev. T. W. Carter, toted me some in his automobile car carriage, and President Wright toted me around some. I just had to shout and shout. Get ready for the National Race Congress, Washington, D. C., April 29, lasting three days. The General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church which will last about 3 weeks, commencing in Louisville, Ky., the first Monday in May. Then there will be other great meetings and I will tell you about them from time to time, including the National Baptist Sunday School and B.Y.P.Y. Congress, in Cleveland, Ohio, June 18. Will you be there? If so meet me, and if you get broke just speak to me, for I am going to tote with me my magic wand. Let me hear from you sometime. I am going to make a little trip off but will return. God bless you. CHARLES E. STUMP. 78 HON.

Press Service) Another attack by a Negro has been "imagined" by a white girl, to cover her own misdeed. This time it was in Harrisburg, Pa., and was reported as follows in the Harrisburg Telegraph GIRL ADMITS WILD STORY OF ATTACK WAS PURE IMAGINATION After an hour and a half's grilling by police, 15-year-old Rosina McNeal, who told the police she was attacked by a Negro in the tinsmith shop of H. W. Snook, 332 Kelker street, admitted the attack occurred merely in her imagination, said Chief Joseph P. Thompson. The girl not only admitted the story to be false, said the chief, but also admitted stealing the bold locket that disappeared from a tray on the office safe. It was the desire to possess this locket that caused the girl to stage the fake robbery and attack, according to the story she told between sobs to Chief Thompson. But fear of being caught with the locket in her possession, she said, made her throw it down a sewer. The locket, the property of Snook's daughter, has not been recovered. The McNeal girl who lives at 330 Kelker street, has been in charge of the office at the Snook shop for the last two days while Mr. Snook was busy elsewhere. When her brother, employed as a tinner by Snook, and another workman returned to the shop shortly after noon recently, the girl told of a Negro entering the place, and after learning that she was alone, attacking her and then taking the locket.

Immediately upon receipt of news of the attempt to hava Wells ousted, Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored’ People, called upon the Col- umbia Dean. c Dean Hawkes told Mr. White that he had informed the white trouble- maker he could leave the dormitory if he wanted to, that his room could very easily be rented as there was a long waiting list. “One man in the Hall,” said Dean Hawkes, “a trouble-making, disagree- able fellow tried to stir up feeling against a colored man who had been given a room in Furnald Hall, When he came to me about the matter, I told him that colored men had stayed in that Hall before and that in the future, as in the past, there would be no discrimination of any sort allowed.

HEART ACHES” By Jack Smothers Many people were disappointed over the’ nomination on Tuesday and many also’ were elated. Chicago was in full dress all over the city, making known their favorite office holders by the un- ceasing yelling and screaming of “let’s get our man in.” “Here’s a good man for a good place,” etc, till the day had passed, Now that the great event that has been looked forward to for some time has come and gone, will we settle down to peace or will there be more unrest and confusion than ever? Why are we so anxious for this man and that man to hold office? Are men selected for their merit or are they selected be- cause they have money, or because they will be able to put others in a better light—mostly financial light? ‘These are questions that cannot be answered without some thought, and more than likely, “some more thought.” But what I can say is we need men who will take the interest of the public at heart. Who will do the things that will be for the better- ment and the development of this great city of ours in all the various ways that can possibly de done? We have such men—and we had them on the Republican and Democratic tickets Tuesday. But only one man can oc- cupy a seat at a time.
