Houston Informer

PILGRIMS HOLD CONCLAVE HERE HOME EDITION VOL. VIII O, YOU PARTY REGULARITY! It is amusing to note the attitude and public declarations of some persons concerning the present fight in Harris County to get the name of a genuine republican on the ticket for county chairman; and particularly one of the "iliy-white" broadcasters who resorted to court proceedings in 1921 to prove that he was a Democrat and entitled to vote in the democratic primary for the nomination of mayor and city commissioners of Houston. This is a matter of court record, and while yelling himself hoarse about "party regularity," we merely wish to cite the gentleman's attention to another instance of "party irregularity" in Harris County. Some of our people can pull off such funny and peculiar starts and each of them is so peculiar that capers at times, especially when the rights of their race and family are involved; and while we have no fuss to raise with any man regarding his attitude in the present fight in Harris County for chairman of the republican execu- tive, we are not so unlucky that we resolved itself into a controversy between a "iliy-white," Negro-hating, self-styled republican, and a genuine, rock-ribbed Lincoln republican. The conductor of this column, being the opponent of R. B. Morris, present Republican county chairman and a candidate for re-nomination at the election, is the only man who has largely responded to a Saturday July 24, 1928, has no slush funds with which to purchase voters; and if he had a large sum of money, he certainly would not expend it in an effort to buy the office. We say this not to infer or insinuate that any candidate is doing this, but do not at rest rumors that we shall expend money in that unlawful direction. It has often been said that the voice of the people is the voice of God, and the people certainly have a right to express their preference for county chairman at the polls on election day as the laws of Texas provide, and the court of civil appeals of the fourth-波级级法庭 hold and rule in the Uvalide County mandamus proceedings instituted by a white democrat who was denied a place on the democratic primary ballot of his county because he supported George C. Butte, the republican-klan candidate for governor in 1924. Talking about “party regularity,” it might be well in passing to call attention to the fact that T. P. Lee, the man who introduced the exclusion resolution in this county, demonstrat-tive that he had held and ruled after being honored with the republican nomination for governor in 1924, publicly declared that his campaign for the office would be chiefly per-functory, and he would support and vote for Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, the democratic party nominee for governor, in the general election that fall. For his frank and candid statement and declaration and his “party irregularity and disloyalty” Emperor Creager, who holds no office in the state, he has never been the first to have this state, called several conferences and caucuses and decided to “kick” Lee off the ticket; however, doing the Houston millionaire the kindness of permitting him to withdraw from the race by a belated declination of the nomination. Here is a man (T. P. Lee) accorded the highest honor within the gift of any political organization in the state, and yet he jeopardized the success of the ticket at the November election. He was held in the city of the democratic gubernatorial nominee, doing same through the daily press of the state and nation. Moreover, since the state convention that nominated him had adjudicated that he was a republican candidate for governor, was not a candidate for the party and demonstration of "party regularity," and all these predo-republicans beefing so loud that he will be showing good sense if they will soft pedal their refrain in the remainder of the popular, partymanical production. People who live in glass houses should never throw them partly regularity or partly loyalty are not so pronounced "regular" and "loyal," should sing their songs about "party regularity" pianist. One author has wisely said that "what you do speaks so clearly that this aptly true when it comes to the "party regularity and loyalty" partyman blatherkites and swashbucklers in Houston, whose "party regularity" partyman could participate in "irregularity" and "inconsistency," only makes strange bedfellows, but it makes some follow cuts some didoes and stage certain antics that could make them appear in a circular or fit subjects for some institution for the feeble-minded.

HOWARD'S BOARD CHOSE JOHNSON AS SCHOOL HEAD HOUSTON PIANIST WON NEW LAURELS IN LOCAL RECITAL Another event that attracted much comment was the unannounced visit to one of the business sessions of the conference, which was held in connection with the educational activities in behalf of colored people in the South. Mr. Rosenwald addressed the conference briefly, commending its work and aims and stating that his participation preceded from his interest in the conference.

Earl Beauchimp, local youth who attended Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., last session, will deliver his last sermon at Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church, Fifth Ward, Sunday, July 11, 11 o'clock. Earl leaves next week for Detroit, Mich., where he will work to earn money with which to continue his ministerial studies. It is hoped that a large and appreciative congregation will hear this young man in his final effort before leaving the city; for any young man of Earl's ability and stainments, who decides upon the ministry as a life career, needs the encouragement and support of all persons who hold to the view that the pulpit needs trained and educated ministers. With his wonderful baritone voice this young man could reap a financial harvest on the stage or as a concert singer, with a little additional training; but he has chosen to dedicate his talent to God in the pulpit, despite the fact that he is fatherless and motherless, and he deserves the good things we can do for and say to him.

A. A. C. P. We thought before the opening of this conference that we would be overshadowed by the great Eucharistic Congress, that had been the first of the great Omnipotence. We were pleasantly disappointed, 98 per cent of those on program both visitors and local talent were soेpied by the earnestness that prevailed during the entire conference. Every-body came to insure and to be inspired. The first words were in the words of the mostTLN-going-ness, phrases and beautiful oratorical flights, prevalent in most conferences. But the desire to tell the naked truth and the truth of the naked truth prevailed the entire session. Our friends from the other group were eager and did speak plainly; no efforts to definitions were unfolded one after another and an attempt to apply the remedy for same was the burden of every one present condition. We were greatly impressed by the great number of outstanding characters of the other race present and their unqualified performance of their assistance to make America in truth. The home of the free, and the land of the brave. We were impressed as never before with the overwhelming group. Here we attempted to evade the real issue, no whitewashing, no denial of the great pro-governing ambition to become a full American citizen. We were so�epied by the first-unwanted program of the Constitution of the United States. We were delighted to note a powerful and growing influence in our favor. White America is beginning to realize that it is impossible for this country to occupy the position that belongs to her as long as one-tenth of her population are social, political and egonomical slaves. If it were true in former days, that this country could not long survive with part of its citizens free and part slaves, physically speaking; it is also true, it cannot survive with physical freedom and spiritual slavery, for no man is free, who is only physically free. we were impaired with the increasing pressure we faced. We were presented an never before that we long right. The greatest step forward ever made by the Army was the deployment of the battalion. All delegates present plunged into the deepest trench of the war, leaving the time is ripe for the Nazi to come to the aid of the Army. We were presented for his rights. We were impressed by the entire coouture and the spirit that prevailed the entire Army. We were presented in our group who are truthfully prepared to serve our country.

This proclamation is issued convening said Grand Bodies for the purpose of hearing reports of Grand Lodge and Grand Household officers and various departments of the collection of tax-collecting and other liabilities and the plan to be made by the Grand Lodge and Grand Household of our noble, and for further purpose of holding Memorial Exercises in honor of the late lamented H. G. Goree, deceased District Grand Master of the Jurisdiction. Such Memorial Services to be held on Sunday, August 1st, A. D. 1926, in the Odd Fellows Temple beginning at 3 o'clock p. m., and generally to transact all business looking to the best interest of or that may be formed wise and expected and such matters as is in any number for the use of the same order with a view to the future growth and perpetuity of our noble Order.

The legally constituted Grand Lodge and Grand Household officers, Past Grand Masters and conventional members, together with the Grand Masters and Households of Ruth, whose credentials have been duly certified to the office of District Grand Secretary and District Grand Worthy Recorder will be recognized and shall compose the legislative body of each, the Grand Lodge and the Grand Household of Ruth.

Houston, District Grand Worthy Recorder. The payment of Endowment, Burial Tax, Temple Tax (if any), Budget Tax, Grand Lodge and Grand Household Tax is compulsory and no delegate will be seated in either the Grand Lodge or Grand Household whose Lodge or Household he or she represents that payment in the payment of any or all of the taxes indicated. Reduced rates over all Texas railways entering Houston have been granted by the railway companies and delegates and members of the Order who may wish to attend the Grand Lodge are requested to read the announcement of Jas. T. Ewing, District Attorney, of Houston, for the statement clearly defining and setting forth the requirements that will obtain and the basis of fares, dates that tickets will be placed on sale and time of return limit; special accommodations will be provided by the railways for the comfort and convenience of all persons attending the Grand Lodge and Grand Household.

As Grand Master, my I urge that every Lodge and Household, the Patriarchies, Juvenile Societies, Past Masters' Councils and Ladies' Chambers put forth every effort to have as many representatives present as permissible. Houston will be the mecca for the Lodge and Grand Household and Ruthines of Texas in August. The magnificent Temple is now completed and equipped and will be the center of attraction where the business sessions of both the Grand Lodge and Grand Household will be held. This beautiful building with its modern conveniences is the very last word in architecture and construction. The delegates and visitors will have the opportunity to walk down the aisle with a sense of pride and satisfaction that is not easily described. Enwrapped in this magnificent Temple is a mute testimony of the loyalty of the membership of the entire Jurisdiction and is also a fitting clinion in honor of H. G. Gore, D. G. M., deceased, who gave his last years to see that it was erected and completed and that the terrible strain under which he labored, caused his u-timely massacre. This should be a year for great rejoicing and to Almighty God for the great success and accomplishments of Odd Fellows and Ruthines in the Jurisdiction.

Monee' Parentage (v. 1). Both father and mother were of Levitical stock. Being from the same tribe, they had a common bond of interest and sympathy. Amram had the good judgment to choose for a wife a woman who possessed sympathies and ambitions in harmony with his own. 11. Moses' Birth (v. 2). Two children were born to Amram and Jochebed before Moses—Aaron and Miriam. However, Moses was the first one that his mother was assured was to be the deliverer of the chosen people. There was something striking about this child which caused her to believe that it was sent to God. She saw that he was a "goodly child." In Stephen's speech (Acts 7:20) he asserts that the child was "exceeding fair," or fair to God. No doubt his mother believed him to be the deliverer of his people and instilled that truth in his mind from childhood. Because of this belief she had confidence that somehow God would save him from the cruel hand of the king. Though Pharaoh's edict was in force, his mother's faith was such as Moses' mother was forced to Moses for three months. The hiding of the child was not because of fear, but because of faith (Heb. 11.238). Moses' brave to ignore the king's edict. Though Moses' mother had faith, she did not ignore the proper use of her child. Moses' child should be destroyed, but God had planned otherwise for this child. Moses' mother, Naah and his family were saved in the ark suggested to his mother the expedition used, namely, the ark of Moses. Moses' mother was still with the place where Pharaoh's daughter came to bathe, and believed she would be saved. She placed the ark at the particular place where it would attract attention. It is interesting to see how Moses' mother, by which God's plan was carried out. His mother's wife. She placed the baby at the proper place and at the opportune time. too, then, Miriam was no doubt placed and to watch to aid in the afar (v. 4). Mild Mitrai sister (v. 5). Mild Mitrai sister faithful, humanly speaking. Moser life would not have been preserved and properly nursed and educated at the proper age. Moser would be prepared for every state, causing her to exercise watch and care over her S. A woman's curiosity (v. 5). This strange object among the girls of Moser's man's daughter and she directed her mails to bring it to her. A woman's companion (v. 5). A woman's companion brought aid opened the baby weep. That Moser has lost her feminine interest who in her life was the cry of a lonely, motherless baby. 5. The baby's tears (v. 6). The tears aroused her womanly insecurities. Miriam the baby's mother was hired to nurse her own child. No one can nurse a child so well as its own. IV. *Moses' Education* (v. 9). 1. Moses was first educated at his mother's knee. During this time his character took on the mind of his mind was filled with the Word of God and he was made acquainted with the Jewish hopes and prospects. In these early years no one was afraid of being fired to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season (Heb. 11:16). Miriam of her child, Jochedeb made good use of her time. 2. At the Egyptian court (v. 10). At the Egyptian court that he became acquainted with the wisdom of the Egyptians (Acts 7.22). This was of great importance. It peculiarly qualified Miriam and historian and historian of his people. Our Present Lot Of nothing may we be more sure than if we cannot sanctify our hearts.

PAGE FIVE Someone told this "all in" skinny, nervous, wornout man that McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets were just what he needed to bring back his strength—his vigor—his nerve force. Told him they would add pounds of energetic flesh to his emaciated form. Told him that also he seemed to have "lost his grip" that the vitilizing vitamins in McCoy's would put real stamina into him and that his mind would be as keen as of old and his step firm, elastic and youthful. Tens of thousands of people all over North and South America know by actual test that the combination of health building agents in McCoy's make it the ideal tonic for every man and woman who feels that they are slipping—are going backward. Try it for 30 days all you that are losing confidence in yourself—that are lacking endurance and stamina—that are underweight, sleepless and nervous. You can get 80 tablets for 60 cents of any druggist anywhere with the clear understanding that if you are dissatisfied with the results after 30 days you can have your money back. Ask for McCoy's.

AND JACOB VOLUNTARY THE HANDS ARE THE HANDS OF ESAU- GENERIS 27:12. In order to become heir to the traditional family blessing and thus become progenitor of a distinguished race or nation, under the guidance and direction of his mother, Jacob deceived or attempted to deceive his father, Isaac, and thus robbed his brother, Esau, out of his heritage. Though the father was feeble and bereft of his eyesight, he immediately recognized and realized that something strange and funny was occurring in his household and in order to inform those of his family engaged in the trickery that he had his suspicions concerning this particular transaction and the quick servicing of the vension, Isaac uttered the words of our text. The governor of Texas, particularly in Harris County, the resolution introduced at the meeting of the Harris County executive committee on June 21, 1928, by "Tommie Plutocratic" Lee of Houston, which was occurring in his household and in order to inform those of his family who did not support nor vote for George C. Bush, the republican-klan candidate for governor of Texas in 1924, is the "voice of Jacob's, but the hands of Esau." To be perfect frank and let the cat out of the bag, the state governor of Texas, particularly in Harris County, the Brownsville, republican national committeeman from Texas (an office that has no legal status under the state statutes), decided to make this test a prerequisite for voting in the July primary, but when no genuine republican could be found in the 4th contested primary, the governor of Texas, W. Murzach, candidate for renomination and re-election from said district to the lower house of the United States law-making body, and Crenger's challenge for titoral control and leadership was deceived and his hemench dropped this resolution like a not brick. In the 14th congressional district, Congressman Wurzbach won a sweeping court victory over the Creager forces last Saturday, when District Judge S. G. Taylor granted the congressman a writ against the Creager forces in the Wurzbach's case on the Boxer County republican primary ballot for the election of Saturday, July 24, 1926; the appellate court of the Fourth Civil District upholding the lower court, holding a night session to hear the appeal brought by Creager's forces. The court ruled that the Creager forces have evoked praise and commendation from one of their local paid hirelings of color, may be "the voice of Jacob," but "the hands are the hands of Esau," and these "lily-white" carpet-baggers and federal pig hunters and eaters are only fooling themselves when they are trying to be successful. They can be so easily tricked out of their political birthright and participant heritage by such a subterfuge. Are the true and tried republican voters of Houston and Harris County going to sit supinely and by permit a bunch of political prisoners to vote in the general election guide of "Lincoln republicans" (let us pray!), to rob them of every vestige of political rights and civic warranties? With the democrats writing a law on the statute books of this state to the end that "no Negro shall be eligible to participate in the voting process," they are invalidating such vote where and when cast; and with the "lily-white" republicans (?) virtually reading the Negro out of their party conventions and primaries, it requires no stretch of the imagination nor prophetic insight to read and interpret the voting process and its effects and relates to the Negro voters of this city, county and state. There is more involved in this resolution than "party regularity," if for Creeger-Nolte-Lee-Morris & Co. are so adamant and such supporters for "party regularity," why don't they practice in the 1980s in the South Carolina and the preaching so voicenferity and blatant in the Eighth (houston) congressional district, and especially in Harris County? If the state executive committee, bossed by Creger, deemed it a wise policy to not stress the Butte vote of 1924 as a prerequisite to voting in the 1980s primaries in Bexar and the other 10 counties, the state legislature should "rolling Bouncer" Morris and "tomnie Pereval" Lee put so much emphasis on this illegal and unconstitutional test in Harris County? Do Morris and Lee believe that the vast majority of the Negro voters of this county cast their ballots for Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, the democratic gubernatorial nominee, in 1924? Do Morris and Lee prove that the Negro electors of Harris County and Houston preferred an honest and honorable democratic woman as chief magistrate of this state in contrast to a political opportunist—a democrat by practice and preachment, a liberal by practice and preachment, and a political opportunist in passing this resolution did these "illy-white" carpet-baggers mean to infer that they knew Butte was so offensive to the Negro republicans of Harris County and Texas, that the said voters could not swallow nor stomach him and his mongrel, hybrid brand of partisan politics? Do Morris and Lee "white" political裤ints intend to compliment the true and tried republicans, with their exclusion decree, and ultimatum for not gullibly swallowing Bbute and all that he The Houston Informer South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper represented and typified, or did they mean to really censure and "outlaw" all republicans who did not cast a ballot for "George Washington"? How can these "lihy-white" lords and barons prove how a man or woman voted in 1924, and what are they going to do about the recent decision of the Fourth Court of Civil Appeals, holding that a citizen's party orthodoxy is not subject to examination, scrutiny or ruling of any executive committee, and that the only test that can be used to determine whether a citizen is a member of the church of his lack of sympathy is that he be eligible to announce for office on the democratic party ticket, and to participate in the primary elections of that party, will not the same ruling and law hold good for republicans who voted for and supported Mrs. Ferguson in 1924? Is it "party regularity" or "colorthophobia" that has obsessed these puppets and henchmen of "Rotten Boss" Creeger, and is driving them mad in a frenzed effort to operate their primary elections in the same high-handed manner in which they have conducted the mining of leaves of ancient trees, district and state conventions of the party under the old system? INFOR By B. In last week's paper, tional paper, we to our exchange an editorial in the New York Times, and that the only test that can be used to determine whether a citizen is a member of the church of his lack of sympathy is that he be eligible to announce for office on the democratic party ticket, and to participate in the primary elections of that party, will not the same ruling and law hold good for republicans who voted for and supported Mrs. Ferguson in 1924? Is it "party regularity" or "colorthophobia" that has obsessed these puppets and henchmen of "Rotten Boss" Creeger, and is driving them mad in a frenzed effort to operate their primary elections in the same high-handed manner in which they have conducted the mining of leaves of ancient trees, district and state conventions of the party under the old system. If they are so insistent upon "party regularity," the Informer suggests that they have their "illly-white" candidate in the 14th congressional district, Fred K. Knetsch (who has never voted on the issue) and the 15th congressional district, Kimble County in 1924 for county judge, after having been elected county attorney of said county in 1922 on the democratic party ticket), disqualify himself and withdraw from the race; for any man is a mighty poor democrat, who would forsake and be disqualified from office. He is a member of the office of honor, emolument and pay, and then join the republican party and form an alliance with Northern baggers to defend a native Texan and rock-ribbed republican for a seat in congress! (O, ingratitude, thou art the bastet of all sins!) He is also a member of the political subterfuge and partisan "bull-shevik"; for while "Tommie Plutocratic" Lee introduced the exclusion resolution and "Rolling Bouncer" Moore saw to it that his hand-picked and vest-pocket executive committee adopted it, it is clear that he is a member of the political subterfuge shows what illegal lengths he and his gang will go to and what crud and damnable means they will resort to, in a maddened attempt to keep the reputed republican organization of Texas in the hands of the Texas Association of Federal Office-Holders and the Federal Citizens. The "voice is Jacobee voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau," and we shall be reentrant on our holdy dwe were to stand and permit these political tricksters and partisan confidence men to divest our group of every political institution, its constitution, its amendments and the bill of rights of Texas. Get ready to march to the polls on Saturday, July 24, 1926, and vote for the repudiation of the Creager regime, by drawing a line through the name of H. H. Haines of Harris County, candidate on the republican party; the governor, and leaving untouched and on the name of E. P. Scott of Nesca County, the Wurzbach candidate for governor. In Harris County, the fight for county chairman is a bitter one between R. B. Morris and C. F. Richardson for county chairman of the republican party; and the court has been asked to determine whether Richardson will be a right to announce for office and then have the executive committee place his name on the primary ballot for the election of Saturday, July 24, 1926. Richardson before the court hearing to determine whether Richardson's name shall go on the ballot, and whether the executive committee of any political party in Texas has the autocratic authority. $\textcircled{6}$ ban or exclude voters from offering for office or casting a ballot for the candidate of their choice. Richardson is a republican organization, and he is NOT A. LINGOLN REPUBLICAN. Moreover, he is a bitter enemy to the Negro race, and has done everything in his power to keep the voters out of party affairs and in this county and city. Richardson has exerted every means, even to approving the republican party, for he has exerted every means, even to approving the Negro's exclusion resolution (aimed directly at Negro voters, but embracing all citizens of republican persuasion who may have voted for Mrs. Ferguson in 1924 or who may not have voted at all in 1925). This would reduce rather than enlarge the republican vote in the primary. Richardson is against "illy-white" republicanism, and shall endeavor, if nominated and elected to office of county chairman, to restore the party in this county to THE PEOPLE; promising to hold elections on public offices, where all the voters and constituents of the republican party are not permitted to enter and attend such meetings. Richardson's elevation to this county office means the end of hand-picked delegates and a vest-pocket organization, and will be subject to the vote of the white voters, which is being fostered on the voters of this county by Morris, Lee, Keep and others. Morris is the Creager candidate (the man who has boasted that no Negro will ever attend the national republican convention from Texas as either a delegate or alternate), while Richardson is the leader of the republican party in the same republican principles of Lincoln, Grant and Roosevelt. The republican party of Houston and Harris County belongs to all the people—colored, white, red, yellow and whatnot—and a vote for Richardson means the overthrow of this "illy-white" REPUBLICAN NAME APPEARS ON THE PRINTED BALLOT SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1926, SCRATCH THE NAME OF R. B. MORRIS, BUT TOUCH NOT THE NAME OF C. F. RICHARDSON. IF THE NAME OF C. F. RICHARDSON DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE PRINTED REPUBLICAN BALLOT IN THIS COUNTY, TAKE YOUR PENCIL, SCRATCH MORRIS' NAME AND WRITE C. F. RICHARDSON' NAME IN MORRIS' PLACE FOR THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. THE OFFICES ARE ONE AND THE SAME UNDER THE LAW. Every qualified race voter in Houston and Harris County, male or female, can vote in this primary election; and the Informer must be a registered voter in Houston and Harris County voting booth, and then march to the polls on Saturday, July 24, 1926, and cast a vote for E. P. Scott for governor, and C. F. Richardson for county chairman. "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Eauu." Selab! INFORMOGRAMS In last week's issue of a denominational paper, which comes regularly to our exchange desk, there appeared a letter from a pastor who received the members of the various churches of his denomination for a lack of sympathy with the pastor of the church, that this said lack of sympathy, on the part of the colored pastor, non-conservative, was applicable for the large number of pastors being physically incapacitated; to the down, diabetes, high blood pressure, gaittec, etc. high author claims that the pastor is communicates of the different churches, of the absence, annually, is mining the general health and make-up of the clergy of the state and the church. We couldn't if we would, deny the fact, as stated by the editor above mentioned, when he says that a lack of recreation, relaxation, rest and an opportunity to recuperate are necessary for the wellbeing and active services of any human being where his labors require the constant use of his brains; but when he or any other person, who like the writer of this article, knows the character of service rendered, as well as the calibre of men who fill the pulpit in the churches of this particular denomination, attempts to lay at the doors of the laity, the cause of so many ministerial wrecks, and to charge that the rank and file of the pastors are being killed by an unsympathetic, disloyal, hard-hearted group of followers, who continually deny their shepherd a much needed vacation, we are forced to rise up and "deject." From years of constant association, and from evidence gathered through equally as many years of close observation, we firmly believe that we are fully competent to diagnose the cases and state the causes therefor in ninetenths of the enormous pile of ministerial wreckage on the vast ecclesiastical sea. Take, for instance, the cases of nervous breakdown: most of these cases involve a desire and attempts on the part of every preacher, of much or little power to pastor two, three, and four churches at one and the same time; attempts to power for much needed brain power for much needed brain power for much third of their life on fast moving trains, with no accommodation for the tributing causes to this awful malady, nervous breakdown. Now, there are several cases of dangerous stomachs, heart trouble, disordered stomachs, Brights disease, etc., among which we might name: gorging on the forks of a fork, and two of the most dangerous foods for men past the age forty; and two of the most stuffing their stomachs all times of day or night, and with all kinds of food before we mention this one, not because it is less true than the others; because it is good. It is deplorable but an undisputed fact that stomachs are rushing themselves to timely graves by their constant patronage of the "bootlegger," and the one who is We agree with the editor, however, that a pastor should have a vacation, annually, but we also hold that the reverend gentlemen should use these vacations in rest, and recuperation, and not as so many do, spend it at some other church, preaching nightly for ten or twelve nights, and then re-told the charge in worse physical condition than he was when he went on his "vacation." Another thing, when we speak of pastors taking a vacation for rest, we refer to those pastors who work hard enough to earn a rest, and not to those who are too lazy to prepare even one new sermon per year, but has and rehash their old worn-out sermons year in and year out to the time to disgust of his heroes, yes, the too-good be given a vacation, but with this difference; theirs should begin on the first of January and terminate on December 31, annually. Taking for granted that the newspapers are truthful in their reports, the Italians of Houston are proving loyal to their countryman, Ponsi, the United Kingdom of Boston, and where he fleeced the staid old Yankees out of a cool million "bones." It is reported that the Italians are visiting Ponsi regularly and offering him all the assistance possible in his fight for freedom. Ponzi, had been he a Negro, he would have found things quite different. In 1880, he was a race man, he would have found the path of desolence for him; for compassion for him; for sympathy for him by the Negroes of this community. _____ Most race take it for granted that their countrymen are unwilling until they are forced to do so.

According to one of the daily white newspapers, which boasts of a large number of local black subcribers, "Bolling Bounce" Morris, reputed county clerk at Harris County, Harris County, a day night rally, held at the American Mutual auditorium, was simply a "rump meeting," and therefore was not a rally. The publicity in said paper, Why the poor simp? Does he not know that the constituents of any political party have a right to call a meeting or rally in public, and that such meetings are diaries, and that such meeting is either a democratic or republican rally, according to the political religion of those calling and attending. In the democratic ranks prior to the July primary, we have the Ferguson Republicans—patriotic citizens who are exposed the cause of the individual in the democratic ranks. In these meetings are not called by Avin Mason, chairman of the various committees, does Morris try to create the impression that the people are democratic candidates are democratic and rallies are rallies Why, what has come over the poor man? Is it colorphobia, or is the unfortunate fellow got a few rooms for rent in the upper story? Republicans are republicans, whether dominated by R. B. Morris or any other citizen; and these citizens have the inalienable, inherent, and constitutional right to call and stage a rally whenever and wherever they close, and we wonder if the person who does not have such a rally held in the interest of a candidate for office at a primary election, a "rump meeting," does not need his sanity tested by a board of alienists and expert medical authorities. For fear Morris does not know it (since he does not seem to be on speaking terms with the constitution, its amendments and the bill of rights, to say nothing of the election laws of The United States's primary election, we wish to inform him that American citizens even have the right to assembly and petition either the president or congress for redress from certain oppressive and repressive legislation; and to hold such meetings these American citizens do not have to get the sanction or approval from the president or congress. Really, is Morris a monumental joke, and what is a reflection that a man of his mentality, starting and capacity in chairman of the republican party in Harris County? If the republicans of Harris County wish to be led and dominated by such a partisan and political ac- cident as this, that is their business; yet every time they move, open his back to his own position in the conclusively that he is afflicted with the "foot and mouth" disease. Maybe the strain of the office of county chairman is telling on Morris and he needs rest and relaxation; and, in view of that fact, The Informer urges the voters of Harris County to go to the office of the 2008 May 24, 1926, and give Morris a permanent vacation by swating his name off the ballot for county chairman or chairman of the republican county executive committee, and either leaving thereon or writing with your pencil the name of the real, genuine republican, C. F. Richardson. If we constitute the "rump" aggregation before the primary, let us see to it that Morris and his gang become the "rump" bunch after the primary of Saturday, July 24, 1926. Bear in mind, the office of county chairman pays no salary, and this fight is strictly a long republican, rather a far-left, poultry-reliance line, and don't permit any political spell-binder, "ily-white" hireling or spineless African to frighten, or intimidate you in the discharge of your duty. Nobody is going to harm or fire you for casting a ballot for Richardson for county chairman; and any individual is in any state, in the inferior, cowardly prevaricator and a traitor to his race, party and republic! process of law, and do all in their power to see that such one gets nothing less than an opportunity to prove his innocence. Not so with our group as soon as one of our race is accused by the other race, right then and there, he is guilty before the eyes of every colored man in the community, who is able to be of any substantial assistance to the accused. In other words you are a great man, in the eyes of our group, when the other race says so, and when they say you are a "bad nigger," then you are a "bad nigger" to the entire Negro race. Since writing the above, several prominent Italians have denied offering help to Ponzi—Well! What we have written we have written.
