HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1920.
"LILY-WHITE" REPUBLICAN COUNCIL CONDUCTED HARRIS CO. CONVENTION; WILL OF THE PEOPLE DISREGARDED
The "illy-whitees" of Harris County "republican council" had their steam roller in perfect working condition in both the precinct and county conventions, held Saturday and Tuesday, respectively, and they sought to prevent any true and tried republican from being sent as a delegate to the county convention and where they were sent by the voters of the various precincts, only in a few instances were they seated by Nichols and his steam-roller county executive committee.
It was the most high-handed political outrage and highway robbery in the history of the republican party in Harris County and such underhand and automatic tactics as employed by the county chairman are calculated to destroy the party in this county.
The manipulators of the steam roller knew that the methods they had agreed upon in advance of the convention would not be tolerated by the genuine republicans and had arranged to have nearly every policeman, deputy and plain clothesman on the force present to browbeat, intimidate and manhandle those who objected to Nichols' imperialistic rulings.
It was the first time in the history of the republican party in this county that the real republican organization was displaced by an adjunct or auxiliary to the republican party and according to the daily newspapers of Saturday, the precinct conventions were held under the auspices of the "republican council of Harris County." In settling all contests (and where there were no contests Nichols and his gang made them) all contestants were permitted to sit as jurors in their own contests and voted to seat themselves and their delegation. There was not the least semblance of a fair and square deal in the actions of the county executive committee, which was overstocked with disatisfied, discredited and disgruntled democrats, many of whom will vote the democratic state ticket and probably the national democratic ticket. They were simply brought into the conventions of Saturday and Tuesday to defeat the will of the majority of representative republican electors.
The day of kaisers has passed and the man who essays to serve in that role is lacking in some of the qualities that go to make up a sane and rational minded individual.
When such arbitrary rulings were made by the chairman that all of the colored delegates present, excepting about 20 political bootleaders and scum of the race, withdrew from the convention and organized a real county convention in the rear of the building, which was stopped by the "peace officers" brought there for the specific purpose of raising a "rough house," a death blow was hit "illy-whiteism" and all its kith and kin.
Nearly 200 delegates protested at such high-handed and unfair tactics and were elected from the building by the officers, who openly made threats to "get" certain leathers who would not consent to be steam-rollered without voicing a protest. These genuine republicans retired to Trinity M. E. Church and held a bona fide and regular county convention.
The statement that the "better class of Negroes" remained in the "illy-white" convention in the Main Street Auditorium Tuesday is an economical employment of veracity, unless defunct booze-houses, ex-conductors of places of vice and political henchmen and hangers-on are the "better element" of the race.
In the number of those who were forced to withdraw from the "illy-white" county convention were all the ministers, lawyers, doctors, teachers, professional men and women, business men, laboring men, women—in fact what the race considers and regards as the cream of the race. The fight is on and the principles of republicanism will ultimately triumph.
So autocratic, unfair and imperialistic became the ruling of County Chairman Nichols that the real republicans present withdrew from the "illy-white" fiasco and adjourned to Trinity M. E. Church, where the temporary organization was perfected. Before leaving the Main Street Auditorium, C. F. Richardson was elected temporary chairman. At Trinity M. H. Griffin was elected temporary secretary.
After a temporary roll of delegates had been prepared by the credentials committee, of which Dr. H. E. Lee was chairman, the temporary roll was made permanent. W. L. McCoy was elected permanent chairman and Rodney D. Hardeway permanent secretary.
Resolutions were passed endorsing W. L. Davis of Harris County as delegate from the eighth congressional district to
Col, Carnegie Libra
the national republican convention; also E. H. R. Green of Kaufman County, Ed McCarthy of Galveston County, Wm. M. McDonald of Tarrant County and J. B. Griggsy of Harris County as four delegates from state-at-large to national republican convention.
The following were elected delegates and alternates to the eight congressional convention and state convention:
Delegates—J. B. Griggsy, W. L. Davis, C. F. Richardson, E. O. Smith, D. Dudley, Jr. O. L. Hubbard, Dr. H. E. Moore, W. L. Copc, Geo. Yosemie, W. J. Hubert, Tom Lawson, W. R. Knoz, Rev. J. R.

BRENHAM.
Rev. Thos. Dalley of Palestine, has a great revival on at Elder B. J. Harris' Church, many conversions. Elder Spot Ellis presides a great sermon at his Independent Baptist Church Sunrise night, buried Sunday. Elder night day, buried Sunday. Mrs. Sarah Nolan, a long resident of this died at Carmine last Wednesday. Prof. K. T. Stoneham, born and raised in the Bellville colored schools, died there last Thursday of heart failure. We were not it for The Informer and that "Political Watch Dog Cliff" the "lifty" of the Bellville residents wandering on the political prairie, as the children of Israel in the wilderness. The best new educator, financially and politically elevates that race, religiously, educationally, financially and politically, there. The greatest man of a race is the bravest man; the man who is the least man of any race and political squirring. "Cliff" again, the least man of any race, the most man of the unspotted womanhood of that race. Read again The Informer. Oh for a
NACOGDOCHES
G. O. P. prefect convention met May 1. The delegates were elected for the county convention. May 4. We have decreed to swat the "lily-whtes." The delegates will be swat the county. The reporter is doing his best to wake our colored voters. Let every republican leader get busy. Services at the C. M. E. Church Sunday was good. Rev. M. Waters held a nice service Sunday. Rev. E. D. Drew is making the young hero, is making things god. G. O. P. say the reporter will be delegate to the state convention. Hurrah for the Informer. Praech out—I'll be here.
"LILY-WHITES" AGAIN TASTE DEFEAT FROM ROBERT CHURCH
(By Special Correspondent.)
Memphis, Tenn. May 11—It took twenty years to get the "illy whites" of Memphis and Shelby County, but in the largest district convention of politicians ever held here, with distinguished guests, the regulars, led by Robert R. Church, put it over the fair and precious buds and flowers in fashion perfect.
In the tenth district convention, called for the purpose of electing a delegate to the republican national convention on the regulars and the regulars "rise up" and took the weapon from the "ilies" and flayed their hip and thigh. Even the daily papers, notoriously unfair to the leadership of Church, conceded in reporting the pow-wow that Church's army outwitted as well as outvoted the "ilies" and bigger and quicker thinner faculty.
Church Elected.
Following a warm meeting of the district committee that had been packed against the regulars from the four counties of the district the regular processor so "skept" the meeting place away from the "ilies" and hold a real convention, in which republican gosel, and not postoffices, was the topic of discussion. Campbell the election of Robert R. Church, with Josiah T. Sette as alternate, as delegates to the republican national convention, was carried with as much enthusiasm as unanimity. The tenth district thus notified the republican national convention that the warrior against the "ilies" would be a free convention in a free land.
The sight was memorable. When Joe Sette called the convention to order and advised the audience, packed in the county court house like ancient sardines in an ancient box, that the regulars had decided to man the

life out of the criminals against the
republican party, the "illies" were non-
plussed. They were out on the outside
scared to venture further without
police escort which was not in sight.
Immediately Church fung his hidden
bomb—he nominated Steve Wright,
a white republican, for chairman, and
when the "illies," peeping over about
the outside, saw Wright
take the chair, they gave up the
ghost.
The chairman of the republican state central committee, "Hon. Hal Clements, came down from Knioville to lead the "illies" to victory, and then had nothing to lead, except a handful of weary looking candidates for "favors to come." Jake Wake was elected secretary, and then began to work the most perfect organization colored men have ever perfected.
Resolutions Extol Party.
The presentations, presented by Dr. J. W. Burton, extolled the party and nailed the plan to declare for whoever the Chicago convention nominates to put Wilson out of his free lodgings and took pride in the fact that the convention made Church to Chicago without either election or vote. By Roddy, Hayes, Wilkerson, Beaton and Sette, Chairman Wright rode through without bit or brillo, "Meanswhile Judge J. B. Worthman, the only white republican in Shelby County holding office by election, was "cusumon" to the "illies" to a fare-you-well face to face.
By and by, by the business of the republicans was finished, the "illies" filed in between police to hold a "rump" convention.
Church had won his greatest victory, old Menter, Walter L. Cohen, A. W. Fite and his friend, Roscoe Simmons. The program they calmly read and worked from, went through with ease.
DE RIDDER DOTS.
Star of Bethlehem Church had a splendid Sunday school, after which he attended a strong sermon. Rev. Green opened the door of the church and one was added to the number. Collection for the church was sent to went to Lake Charles to the doctor. Rev. L. Johnson, Mississippi, is a pastor. He acted as superintendent Sunday. We had quite an interesting lesson. The topic was "Looking Into Christ." The third Sunday, Mr. Edelhart, deltier, is leaving for Kansas City May The Odd Fellows and Ruth. They are preparing for a big dinner. Mrs. Mamie Smith returned Thursday after spending several months with her pet
DIBOLL DOTS.
Sunday, April 25, the Knights of Pythia exhibited themselves in their anniversary service. Diboll was too tall for the people. Rev. J. W. Harris was the speaker for the occasion, asking their church leaders in connection with them. They rushed in the effort $86.00. They gave a free dinner on the occasion. Sunday, May 14 was pastor's day for the loh missionary Baptist Church. Our pastor, Rev. J. J. Brandford, was called to serve the services. The services and the services in the pastor's stead. The people at Diboll are in favor of the Informer, and hope to add new subscriptions in near future.
Mr. M. C. Monk was the spirit of Mrs. L. Wigly Sunday, The First Baptist Church in Smith addition is near completion. The numbers are hard to find. The services are ill Saturday, T. Welch took seriously ill Saturday, but is up again. His daughter, Mr. Marshall of Calviston, spent the day with him Sunday.

LESSON
GY REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D. Teacher of English in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1988, Newman. Newspaper Union.)
LESSON FOR MAY 9
May be used with temperance application.
LESSON TEXT I - Sam. 1:13, 7:38, 11:41.
GOLDEN TEXT - The virgin of sin is
through Jesus Christ our Lord - Rom. 6:13.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL I - Sam. 1:12, 11:28,
11:30, 11:41, 11:58, Eph. 6:14.
Called the Dog Bagman
TOPIC I - Eil and His Sons.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -
Sowing and Reaping.
YOUNG PROPLEB AND ADULT TOPIC -
Missophilia of Parents and
children.
The Wickedness of Eil and His
Sons 2:12,17, 27,36.
The sons I (vv. 12,17, 22).
The behavior of these sons is in strange contrast to that of the boy Samuel. Eil's sons were priests and ministered in the ancient, but "knew not the lord" (v. 12).
(1) Graft (vv. 12-17). This greed was practiced "wielded the worshipers who brought their sacrifices to the altar (Ex. 29:27; Lev. 7:31, 32). The priest God ordained that the priests should have the breasts and shoulders of the animals which were brought to the altar (Ex. 29:27; Lev. 7:31, 32). The priest consented with this, but demanded more, and even sought to obtain it by force (vv. 15). Moreover, they lifted out with a fork certain choice portions of the food. Such behavior on the part of the priests was revolting to the worshipers and resulted in the abhorrence of the Lord's offerings.
2. Eil (vv. 27-38). Eil was seemingly a slave before God in that he failed to discipline his sons (vv. 22-24). He knew of their sins and was conscious of his obligation, but his fatherly heart led him to the Lord. He loved his God but loved the better of his judgment. Eil was content with a weak remonstrance. He was under obligation not merely to speak against it, but should have acted against it.
3. Eil and His Sons Punished (4:1-18)
They at last came to reap what they had sown. God has appointed a day of judgment (Acts 17.31). There is a harvest time for the sinner as he is sown. God has appointed if one has sown to the wind he shall reap the whirlwind. The Philistines made war upon Israel and defeated them with great slaughter. This judgment had been made known to Eli by a "man of God" and Samuel by the Philistines and the Philistine struments in the hands of God for this judgment.
1. The battle with the Philistines (vv. 1-9). The Israelites made an unsuccessful attempt to free themselves from the Israelites and some 4,000 were slain. This aroused them to inquire as to why the Lord had smitten them and to suggest that they should fight with as a defense against the enemy. In this they committed two blunders: (1) The elders had no right to handle the ark; that belonged to the priests; and that they should have the mind of God, and if it were his will that the ark be brought, it should have been done by the priests. (2) It was a sword that the priests had in their hand a symbol of God's presence. They ignorantly assumed that the presence of God inhered in the symbol, forgetting that it was a symbol of his will and purpose of his own, and therefore will not give concessions to that which disgraces with his holy purpose and will. Professing Christians in this way would substitute the sacraments of the church for the presence of God in the soul. The earth rung out with a great about when the priest was brought into the temple, and when he bestowed with fear, for the knew what wonders God had wrought in times past. In their desperation they made a stand, culling upon their own best, to win the war they fought and won the victory.
2. Israel's disastrous defeat (vv. 10, 18). (1) The army was routed and a great slaughter occurred (vv. 10, 18). (2) The symbol of the divine presence with its sacred memories torn from their grasp and with it went Israel's hope; (3) Elijah's sword was broken (vv. 10). The very priests were custodians of the ark were stalem; (4) death of Elijah the high priest (vv. 18). The news of the defeat of the army and the death of his one element of strength if we recognize the ark of God was taken as救 instantly.
**Best Means of Safety.**
In all our weaknesses we have one element of strength if we recognize the ark of God was taken as救 instantly, knowledge of danger is often the best means of safety—E. P. Re.
**The Bible.**
The Bible never makes religion the mere embroidery of life.
**Compassion.**
Compassion is an emotion of which we ought never to be ashamed—Doctor Blair.

elements which are loudest in their proclaimings that we are venal,
vieious vipers of society hd thetefore must of necessity be held
on the lowest social planes. Why should we be blamed because
‘we are apt and learn the object lessons presented to us with a de-
‘gree of aptitude that is alarming in its aspects of thoroughness?
Given a fair chance we venture the opinion that there are those
/among us who possess the moral fibre to actuate the healthy social
impulses of the nation. We are bound to rise in the social scale.
Denied the best means to achieve our aim in this direction, we do
the next best thing—get what we want and are bound to have.
'No defense is needed. What is good for the chicken is good
for the duck. '
‘The saloon plague has gqne from our midst, we hope, forever.
Prohibition may or may not prohibit. Suit your own notion about
that. But, he who has lived in the large cities and noted at first
hand, the havoc wrought by the saloon on our men and women
must be deaf to all calls of decency, if he would want these plague
spots to re-appear.
We are willing to admit that the saloon was not the only place
‘where one could drown their sorrows or exhilirate their joys. We
will go a step farther and deplore the immense loss of income that
has followed in the wake of saloon closing. But this can not take
the edge off our happiness. ‘The saloon is dead! Long live the
chance to have the better thing!
Now what is the “better thing?” The marking out of cleaner
fields of business virtue; the partaking of the higher essences of
social intentions; and by these means get a strong grip on the
broader purpose of the life alfout us.
‘The saloon has gone and we are heartily glad of it.
Have you heard the news? The spring is here.
Coneeit is one half pretension and one-half—more pretension.
Lynching as a sport appears to be an all-around joke with the
other fellow dangling at the end of the rope or bound to the burn-
ing stake.
There is just enough difference between celebrity and notoriety
to make one hesitate before aspiring to the possession of either.
Th singer who warbles a song for sixpence in these times is a
bird who knows how to keep out of the public gaze.
‘The humble potato now rules as the Mighty Spud.
The nearer we get to the big convention the nearer we get to
the nominations. Well? "Well, the nearer we get to knowing who
will be nominated.

Major General, United States Army.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1920
Won Congressional Medal of Honor in Apache Campaign. Sent to Washington.
The sea was Leonard Wood's first ambition. He wanted to enter the navy, but chances for advancement in the military were poor. He became床硬 in the form of an arctic expedition. He had decided to become an explorer when his father, Dr. Wood, took his son into his study in the University of Oxford, where he won his profession, that of medicine. The result was that Leonard Wood entered the Harvard Medical School in 1850, and graduated with a hard-earned scholarship, he worked his own way through college. He tutored students and picked up other odd jobs to pay expenses. He was bitter. After serving as an interne in one of the Boston hospitals and practicing for several months in one of the poor hospitals, he were poor. He were too poor to pay much, if anything, for medical attendance, young Dr. Wood, with fifty-nine other physicians, took an examination in the class. He was asked if he would accept a position as contract surgeon at $100 per month. If I can go West and be active service, answered Wood. The examining officer smiled and assured Wood that he would see plenty of active service. This proved to be no
The summons came in June, 1885. Dr. Wood was ordered to report to duty to General Crook at Fort Hushua on June 14, 1885, against the Apache Indians under Geronimo. Wood arrived at Fort Hushua on the Fourth of July, Soldiers, cowboys, Indians and frontiersmen were celebrating the day with gunpowder and the celebration was assigned to the Fourth Cavaliar, commanded by Captain Henry W. Lawton, who became famous in the Spanish-American War as a Major-General. The latter looked at his visitor and said, "What the hell are you doing here?" "I want to get into the line as soon as possible." He was chuckled and slapped Wood on the back and said:
There was a column of Indian fighters, starting off the following morning, and Wood was ordered to go along. He was ordered to a very special horse, sir, he remarked as he handed Wood the retails. The letter mounted and rode off. He so found out that his "special horse" was not a horse, but a mean-tempered. His gait was so vicious that even the veteran troopers shunned it. Wood rode the animal every day, and he threw. He was blistered, for the surm was hot and the "outlaw" was rough, but Wood stayed with the troopers, and, in the language of the army, he was a man of honor. He lasted for fourteen months, leading over thousands of miles of wilderness in New Mexico and Arizona. Wood was one of the few men the went on a mission to kill the pursuit, after a twenty-five mile march, he rode seventy-four miles by night, carrying dispatches through the mountains, and he rode thirty miles with his troops.
Wood spent several years in the Southwest. He was General Miles' chief assistant in surveying Arizona, and used unilateral maneuvers with such devotion that he was soon acknowledged to be a thoroughly competent line officer. Nor did he have the skill to maneuver in General Wood is not a vain man, but he shows a good deal of pride today when he recalls that he succeeded in saving General Miles from having his leg amputated, and fallen with him, crushing the limb.

Support Coming From All Sections of the Country for His Presidential Nomination.
New York.-General Leonard Wood's campaign for the presidential nomination on the Republican ticket is gathering strength and momentum more rapidly than ever, his most ardent supporters believed would be possible this fall in advance of the National Convention. From an humble, informal beginning in the minds of a few of General Wood's friends and admirers a few

Wood Against Field.
"It is a case of Wood against the field," said Congressman Norman J. Gould, eastern manager of General Wood's mending business. He said the mending lead because of the great amount of personal, volunteer work done by his friends and admirers beaten up by the mob in the existence. The support General Wood is receiving from voters all over the country clearly indicates that they will be sufficient to give General Wood the power to him in the convention and that the number of delegates so instructed will be sufficient to give General Wood the power to him in the convention. General Wood will have 800 delegates delegates when the convention opens, and will need only 188 more to get the nomination. He said the convention in New Hampshire, the first state in the Union to hold a primary for the selection of delegates, Congressman W. W. Johnson, will have to sign a pledge in Massachusetts, said a careful canvass of New England showed practically every state in that section would have to sign a pledge to give delegates to the convention pledged to his nomination. Governor Milken of Maine personally assured General Wood that that state was solid for him.
The above is the likeness of Rev. M. L. Vaughers, A. D., Divisional Secretary of the American Bible Society, and exporter of the First Colored Methodist Church, Texarkana, Texas, who is now establishing his commerce in this city.
Rev. Vaughers is one of the leading ministers of the state; well equipped to minister of the state and to the care of no mean ability. His discourses are always characterized by thoughtful and fervent preaching of the church in Georgia and Texas. He was serving his third year as the Texas Kansasian minister for Texas for two years he now holds. He will be affiliated with all of the religious denominations of his territory (Texas, Colorado, Missouri) and can always be depended upon to heartily co-operate with every effort to improve the betterment of humanity and especially of his race. His deputy will be appointed to the office of street, phone Hadley 140. He deserves the co-operation of all the good people of Houston and his territory in the Christian civilization through God's word.

blood of the lamb the people of Israel
were on their way
to leave the land
of Egypt Being
pursued by Pharaoh
and his army,
they found

passable mountains
until before
they rolled the waters of the

were on their way to the land of Egypt. They pursued by Pharaoh and his army, they found them between impassable mountains until before the roller of the western of the sea. It looked as though certain capture and recovery would be their lot. But Moses, to comfort and encourage them, "Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord—the Lord shall fight for you and ye shall hold your peace." For the Christian today, Egypt and Pharaoh stand for the world and its god, Sinai. These men thus without a struggle, and all who have ever started to leave the world and be separate into the Lord have the need for just such a deliverer as the Lord.
A realization of the sufficiency of the Lord brings a calmness and a quiet into the soul of one pressed on the earth. He is the one who nothing else can give. There is nothing too hard for him for he is the Almighty One. As easy for him to open the Red sea as to make it what it is, he can mountains with a word as to make them with a word. The One who made the mountains and the sea could do as he wished with them. Pharoh and Pharaoh were few febrese insects upon the face of the earth. As easy for him to overcome one as the other. Whatever the obstacle or whatever the might and the necessity of difference to him; he is the Almighty.
Added confidence and peace come to us as we think of the relationship we have with our children. Our far off day was his special people so we are today—perhaps closer than Israel was, for we are in a peculiar way for us he fights for his own. His love spurs him on to stand between us and all our enemies. Over and over in the past he has loved us, he loves. He says, "A mother may forget her sucking child, yet will I not forget thee," "I have loved you with an enduring love," "Who has not heard of a mother's love urging her to go on fighting for her own until the limits of human endurance were reached and passed, but I cannot forget her child. It is inconceivable that he should forget one of his own, however few he should be, for the sucking child.

He favors and shall labor indefatigably and untrilingly for a new republican leadership in Texas that will not defile nor desecrate the ancient landmarks and traditions of republicanism, but one which will be truly and thoroughly representative of the republican constituency of Texas.
He favors making America safe for Americans and the Texas republican party safe for all genuine, loyal, true and tried republican electors, irrespective of color, creed or class.
He is for principles above personal gain; measures above men; policies above self; party fidelity and loyalty above mean and niggarly selfishness; Americanism above imperialism; political participation rather than political elimination.
He opposes those men who would render and maintain the republican machine of Texas a federal patronage broker and gladly supports the candidacy of Col. E. H. R. R. Green of Kaufman County and Hon. Ed. Carlie McCarthy of two white delegates from the state-alarge to the national convention.
He favors and shall work for an aggressive, progressive republicanism standing firm on the tenets and traditions of the "Grand Old Party," but sensing the imperative needs and demands of the times and resolutely and courageously applying itself to the problems of reconstruction, readjustment and realignment.
He opposes prescription, either legislative or customary, in our body politic.
He favors and shall fight hard to forever maintain the republican organization the party of THE PEOPLE rather than the party of A PEOPLE.
He favors the republicans putting out a straight state ticket, with all best practices and republican electors, as well best practices as waging a fight for congressmen in the 9th, 10th, 14th and 15th congressional districts, nominating able men for said positions.
He favors two white and two colored delegates to the National Republican Convention from the state of-large and caliph upon all genuine republican candidates.
