THE BROAD AX THE GRAND OLD PARTY WINS NEGROES; CONFUSES DEMOCRATS, LA FOLLETTE From "The Man on the Corner" Chicago, Ill.—The success which has followed the colored organization within the Republican party, practically sewing up Negro support in the coming election, has forced the Democratic party and the Third party, led by La Follette, to frenzied attempts to deal with and entice away the northern Negro voter. The action on the part of the Democrats is not restricted to those of the north but is being undertaken by southern Democrats as well. It is understood that both La Follette and the Democrats preferred to sit tight at the beginning of the present campaign and profit from the discontent which was known to be among the Negro voters. Those leaders who had been watching the signs, predicted that the Negro was angry and that with the coming of November there was going to be a breaking up of his vote which would spell doom to the Republican party and bring profit to some other. Naturally, it was felt that Negroes would try something new, not the Democratic party of persecution, but, say, a Third party, the La Follette, Socialist, Labor, Red Group, anything to get away from the Republicans, who had done much for them, but not all they wanted or expected. But things have not panned out as the dopesters thought. Only one or two so-called big Negroes have jumped and they have gone to the Democrats, in New York and Massachusetts. The Negroes who have joined the La Follette organization are the kind that the average Negro voter is rather wary of anyhow. Whereas most of the voters are far from believing that the Republican party is all that Fred Douglass said it was, they have subscribed to the national belief in Cooridge, his sanity, honesty and strength. They know that this is no time to be feeling around. They might have gone to a third party, but this new thing that has sprung up is something that they can't understand. All that they can hear talk of is an attack on the Constitution, which they have abided by; of Reds, whom they fear, and of demagoguery which confuses them. They have decided to come in out of the storm and not try to reach shelter which may not be safe after all. This attitude has provoked direct action on the part of the other two parties. Their hope lies in a deadlock in the election. When La Follette started that was all he hoped to do. That would satisfy him now, but he is not sure that he can do it. The Democrats would prefer a deadlock to Republican victory also, but victory for the Democrats if possible. Thus northern Democrats are courting the Negro voter at the Republican party backdoor. Conditions seem to be so bad that so-called big Democratic Negroes from other sections have been called in to talk over the situation. This week, William H. Lewis, former assistant United States attorney under a Republican administration, who deserted the G. O. P. for the Democrats this year, and Ferdinand Q. Morton, civil service commissioner from New York and leader of the Negro Democrats there, came to town. They were in frequent consultation with local Democratic leaders. Most of these conferences were with white men. Morton was in conference with Oscar DePriest, first Chicago Negro alderman and the Moses who delivered the Negro to the Democrats two years ago. DePriest has since expressed himself as being THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 4, 1924 somewhat sorry for what he did. He refused to say anything as to the purpose of his conference with Morton. At the same time a meeting was being held in the same place, the Appomattox Club, in which, among others, Joseph Bibb, editor of the Chicago Whip, and William Lewis took part. The Whipp is known to have independent tendencies and to favor political discrimination in local campaigns. It is believed that Lewis may seek to divert the Whip to active Democratic support. Third party efforts to entice the Negro vote are being aided by southern Democrats. The idea among them is to take Negro encourage Negro support from the Republican party to La Follette, thereby weakening the Republican party and assuring Democratic victory. Correspondents for southern newspapers in the North are writing long stories to their papers, playing up particularly the goodness of the Third party adherents to the Negro. One writer, sending to these papers, tells of La Follette meetings where Negroes have been allowed to speak, to sit on the platform with white women, to address white women and everything, just the same as though he were at a Republican rally in the southern states. This correspondent describes this equality in the following paragraph: "The Negro was introduced by the white chairman of the meeting as 'Comrade Lieutenant Clark' and the remarks he made were given applause by his white hearers. During the course of the meeting the white chairman moved his seat over by the Negro and with heads close together there was a conference between them. With the sight of young white girls as ushers of Negroes being shown seats by them and of a Negro on the stage with the white men and white women, it looks as if the La Follette-Wheeler party is to be hand in hand with the Negro in this campaign. It was certainly a scene of equality of races on the stage occupied by the speakers." The correspondent gives himself away when he states that there were more than 1,200 in the audiences, more than half of whom were white women This kind of propaganda is being assiduously spread by southern papers, the thought being that southern Negroes who read them will write to their friends and relatives in the North, advising them to look into that La Follette party. Clippings will be sent and a message will be got over to the northern Negro voter, a message which he will wonder about because the stories will be telling of things happening right around him that he does not know anything about. The southern Democrat is hoping that the Negro voter will conclude that La Follette's party is even better than the Republican and flock over to the Third party. La Follette followers are making some, bids for the Negro vote on their own hook. They realize that the Republicans have it now. If they can get just a few voters to see La Follette, there'll be a deadlock at the election and then who can tell what might happen. La Follette might slip into the presidency. Just a few Negro votes would turn the trick. Show the Negroes something and start them stamping into the Third party. Whether you care anything about the Negro or not, their support now is worth its weight in gold, good honest-to-goodness gold. For that reason they are taking advantage of every opening they can. In Chicago they have induced another Negro to run for Congress in the person of S. A. T. Watkins, a southerner who came to this city, made good as a lawyer, and is now the president of the Appomattox Club. The Third party folks got in touch with Watkins, who has been going Democratic for many years, and showed him a deep point. This point was to the effect that local Democrats were not sincerely, inasmuch as even now they could not agree on placing Earl B. Dickerson, young Negro lawyer, in the field to run for Congress against Martin B. Madden, obstacle in the way of all Negro hopes in the race for the house of representatives. George Brennan, local Democratic leader, had it announced at the New York convention that he was going to run a Negro against Madden in the First district, composed largely of Negro voters and named Dickerson as the man. That move all depended, however, on the ability of Brennan to get Doyle, white Democrat who had been running, to step down and take his name off the lists. When Brennan came back he found that Doyle couldn't see things as he did. There was a great deal of arguing, threatening and so forth, but Doyle remained adamant. As a consequence, Brennan, the big boss, had to step back quietly. The news got out, of course, and the talk was started that the Democrats weren't so good after all, either for friendship or strategy's sake. La Follette's backers have seized upon this Democratic defection to get over some of their own stuff. They are putting up Watkins and claim that they are going to make a whale of a campaign for him, opening up with a big mass meeting at which Oswald Garrison Villard will speak. Watkins, while not being popular in the ordinary sense of the word, would make some appeal to intelligent Negro voters at any other time save this, but the general lack of faith among Negroes in regard to the Third party leads to a lack of interest in the Watkins campaign. The voters do not want to waste their votes and, in the main, they do not believe that Watkins can win. In any case, all talk there has been about it has centered on the possibility of getting enough of the Negro voters in the district to split the ticket to put him over. Even if they vote for Watkins, they have no intention of voting for anybody else for president save Coolidge. The next few days, according to the reports circulating around the various headquarters, are apt to see the coming to birth of additional overtures to the Negro. The only way out that any of the leaders see is through the Negro and they are going to figure in every way they can to corral his support. They may send speakers out to talk issues, but the big issue among the strategists of the Davis and La Follette camps will be black votes and how to get them out of William Butler's vest pocket. CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD IS AIM OF COLORED BOY Anglun, Mo.—One of the few Negro boys to study for the Catholic Priesthood is Aloysius Morrison of Anglun, Mo. Last year he attended the Pio Nono College in St. Francis, Wis. He was one of the three Negro boys who registered at that institution. Proving himself a scholar and a religious gentleman, young Morrison has been accepted at the Seminary.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 4, 1924 THE WESTERN NEWSPAPER EDITORS AND REPRESENTATIVES BANQUETED AT THE APPOMATTOX CLUB Last Tuesday evening the following editors and other newspaper representatives from the Western and Southwestern District and a few visitors belonging in this city and as far east as Cleveland, Ohio, and as far west as California, gathered at the Appomattox Club, 3632 Grand boulevard, where they enjoyed an elaborate banquet which was worth the eating and the eatable repast was served right up to the minute. Hon. W. T. Francis, one of the successful lawyers of St. Paul, Minn., ably served as toastmaster and he was the right man in the right place. He had a very happy way of introducing the various editors and joined in the discussion as to the best way to proceed in order to bring about the election of Coolidge and Dawes, President and Vice President of the United States. It was pointed out by many of the speakers that with the united support of the colored newspapers that victory would perch high on the top of the Republican banner in November. Toastmaster Francis let it be known from time to time that he was firmly convinced that the colored people would help to put President Coolidge over the top. Hon. William C. Matthews, who is one of the leading, high class lawyers of Boston, Mass., who is the wise and far-seeing chairman of both the Eastern and Western Districts and all the work and planning in relation to the national campaign is under his absolute control and after Toastmaster Francis in a few well-chosen words introduced Chairman Matthews who received a warm ovation from the editors and the other invited guests. Chairman Matthews did not beat around the bush for one minute but he bravely walked right up to the bat and declared "that the newspapers are the greatest moulders of public sentiment among the colored people or any other race of people in the world. That without the united and firm support of the colored newspapers that it would be utterly impossible for him to function in the way he desired to function; that without their hearty support his task would be doubly hard to assist to elect Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States." The editors assured Chairman Matthews that they would stand by him to the last ditch or just as long as he dealt his cards from the top of the deck and laid them on the top of the table and that they would uphold his hands and assist him to land Coolidge and Dawes in the White House at Washington, D.

DEMOCRATS PACE RACE MEN ON TICKET IN N. J. ELECTIONS Newark, N. J.—For the first time in the history of Essex County, the Democratic organization has seen fit to place a colored man on its ticket.

MANY PROMINENT WOMEN ARE PLANNING TO BOOST THE WILSON HOSPITAL Last Friday afternoon on the invitation of Dr. Fannie Emanuel about fifty ladies assembled at the Ideal Tea Rooms, 3400 Michigan boulevard. The object of the gathering was to lay a solid foundation in the interest of working up a boom for the Fort Dearborn Hospital, 3831 Vernon avenue, better known as the Wilson Hospital. About a year ago Dr. and Mrs. Wilson, who also conducted a hospital at Memphis, Tenn., came to this city and secured the ownership and the complete management of the old Fort Dearborn Hospital and shortly thereafter changing its name.

WILLIAMS HEADS NEW FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY Lincoln Union Fire Insurance Company Opens Office at 3510 Indiana Avenue Chicago now has another big business known as the Lincoln Union Fire Insurance Company. This company is a legal reserve fire insurance company, and its entire capital of $100,000 must be deposited with the State of Illinois. For some time we have seen the necessity of the organization of an efficiently managed legal reserve fire insurance company. Negroes in Chicago and over the entire country now own millions of dollars of insurable property and in some sections cannot insure their property. It is obvious therefore, that this company meets a long felt need and should have a prosperous future. The officers of this company are: Dr. R. A. Williams, president; Dr. Carl G.

The membership will be limited to twenty and must be children of a stu- dious and congenial type for the work they will-do requires both of these qualities. Each Saturday from 4 to 5 P. M., they will meet and rehearse for their plays and” musicals. Their of- ficers and members’ names will be published next week. We hope more parents will take up some of their valuable time in training of their own children. Mrs. Burton's little daugh- ter, Bertelle, is making quite a splen- did record for herself along the musi- cal line, and this little club will be to her credit, as her work has attracted her litle friends and they wish to be- come useful. The little folks will bring articles that cease to be of use to them once each month, to be given to orphan children who are in need. This will help the children to develop the spirit of helping others less fortu- nate than themselves. Many good things will grow out of this little or- ganization of children, we are sure. ‘THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 4, 1924 THE EDITORS’ ADDRESS — RESOLUTIONS TO CHAIRMAN BUTLER_..

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 4, 1924 --- Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it helped me to wear a lovely skin. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25¢ at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.
