Colored Residents In California City Victims of Vandals
Los Angeles, Cal.—(ANP)—The cowardly acts of whites who are attempting to force Negroes to move out of the Manhattan Beach district, have aroused a race hatred that is seldom manifested in this section and if something is not done to stop the white hoodlums, Los Angeles may have a race riot. This tense feeling was brought about by a series of dynamiting, shootings, and burnings in the Manhattan Beach, climaxed here last week by the firing of rifles into several houses occupied by Negroes on Twenty-first Street. It is reported here that District Attorney Keyes has been conducted over the situation for six weeks and expects to bring several prominent business men before the law to explain their connection with the gangsters who are believed to be perpetrating the crimes and endangering the lives of citizens in Manhattan Beach.
Coleman Sounds Alarm To Texas Race Baptists; Denomination Imperiled
Jack Garrin, Manhattan's chief of police, has been scored severely for the lack of protection accorded Negroon there, and the knight of the law coltered body. Dana Bromt has it the chief will be hailed before the grand jury when it convenes here next month.
In spite of the persistent efforts of the whites, Negroen have refused to be held and identified their intention to protect their property, with their lives. They have appealed to the police for protection, but from the continual bombings it seems that Little can be expected from that kind of behavior.

is now a very desirable location far home. Until the natural beauty of the section was brought out, Nogees living in the section were unimproved and soon an outdoor work space was added by engineers and landscape gardeners, the whites thought it was a bit too beautiful for Nogees and have sought ever since to evict them. Several houses have been filled into and burned, but the largest loors are reported to be the white insurance companies, as the Negra citizens have injured their homes against these hazards. The better law and an oath to the race riot may be avoided and new urging the district attorney to use the power of his office to sweit it.

The case was prosecuted by the 1920s, when it was given a five year sentence in the county jail and $1,000. Fine.

Citizens are very indignant, especially when they see their children are still fresh in their minds. Polliners testified as to Palmer's bad character, and the girl's bad behavior has been evidence of the struggle.

St. Louis. Mo. (ANP) - Railroad officials received a molar plexus blow last week, when the St. Louis court of appeals affirmed judgments in a lawsuit against the Company in favor of Mrs. Mary Alexander, who was injured two years ago in a derailment of a car in which she was riding as a passenger at Menofo, Missouri, on her way from the state of Alabama. She was injured half-rate ticket issued to her husband, Pate Alexander, an employee of the Pullman Company. On the back of the ticket was printed a contract, stating that persons riding on such tickets would be at risk of accident and damage without any claim on the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway Company. The contract signed by Mrs. Alexander. The railroad company contended that passengers boarded upon both parties and released the liability. It was further stated by the railroad officials that Mrs. Alexander and the laws of the state of Missouri did not apply, but that all claims to be determined by the "Act to Regulate Commerce" or the Hepatitis C legislation congress had entered the field of interstate transportation of passengers trailed to the exclusion of all state
New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—Christopher Warren, a prosperous citizen of Thibodeaux, Louisiana, on January 17 came to this city, and after a few days dropped completely out of sight. He and the morgue failed to throw any light on his disappearance, officials disclaiming any knowledge of his whereabouts.
Investigation through the efforts of Supervisor W. C. Warren, of the La. attorney Charles J. Munday, disclosed the fact that Mr. Warren was stricken with heart disease and dropped dead on the street. The body was taken to the morgue, and a short time later the attorney Charles J. Munday, the medical school of Tulane University, where it was picked in alcohol to be killed, was finally turned over to the family and to Thibodeaux for burial. A search through the files of the family found that no news story relative to an unknown Negro being found dead failed to find any news story relative to an unknown Negro being found dead. It was a considerable sum of money and considerable jewelry, which, however, was recovered from the corpse.

laws and the law of the state of Missouri
The Alexanders based their contention on a decision of the United States supreme court in 1873, and in several, decisions of the Missouri supreme court. The plaintiffs contended that the court determined according to Missouri law, that having paid one-half of the regular tax tarriff for her passage, the plaintiffs had hired and that the contract on the ticket was such as she and the railroad had caused a contract cause such a contract allowing the railroad to escape liability for the theft of the ticket and two dollars in civil as being against the public policy of the state of Missouri. The railroad company contended, the plaintiffs two dollars in the Alexander case, expressing the belief that because of the contract the plaintiffs were not liable, and offered the merely to dispose of and adjust the Although the claims only involve $1,500, being a fair amount considered in a case being regarded in railroad circles as of extreme importance, because they were not regarded in railroad circles as of personal traveling by steam railway, and affect every steam railway in the country, most of whom in many cases were represented by Alexander were represented by A. Courtney Davis, a brilliant young colored attorney.
Hattiesburg, Mines—(ANP)—Lt. A. Merys, a white man, has been indicted for perjury, growing out of the testimony intended to convict him. He was indicted in Norvesta Clayton, March 3, 1997. N.R. Clyton, husband of the slain woman, and a white man, is charged with the murder and the case will come up for trial at the next term of circuit court. He alleged that an unauthorized bedroom and shot her with his (Clayton's) plaster, and disappeared into the night. Myers corroborated him and named Magee as the suspected man. He turned out when Clancey Burge, who is also indicted for perjury, swore that the whole affair prior to killing him was no basis for their statements. Clancey held a life insurance policy on his wife dated February 8, a month prior to the killing. He was formerly secretary of the state teachers college at Hattiesburg, and N.R. Clyton was a student of college prior to that marriage.

Senator Walters is a bone dry and it goes without saying that the higher the degree of his experience how the farmers of the Northwest would take his candidacy, deponent candidate.
Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas is very much a prospect, and does not hesitate to talk to his friend that he will be a senator for years or more at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, this being the street number of the palatial residence Ucum Sam. He has been selected as president and where that man's family maintains its social acclimatization.
Senator Curtis served his state in a lower house in the 1980s, a majority leader on the floor of the senate, a most exacting position, which he so acceptably did. Democratic friends and his friends it has been said that he has his own special his veins, which is doubled true, he is swarthy complexioned, has dark skin, and high cheek bones, but un-indian like he sports a heavy moustache. His ability need not be questioned because the senate settles that he is affable watchful and forceful. All of this is diplomatic. He has always been a free man.

Senator Norris is of statemanship and means from any angle, is full of ambition, is the lawyer of ability, has served several gov'ts, and since his election to the senate in 1913, has taken front rank as a leader of the side of the people and against special privileges of the few. He also presided over other presidential prospects now sitting in the U. S. senate and some outside of that distinguished group.

However, I insisted upon a gathering at Selma and one upon a concert at the same time, and talked of music and sang to the gathering and the same thing was revealed to me in the same way. I was in similar occasions before. I could see the faces of some (not all) lighten, their eyes glisten, as tried to be seen, and I could see them. It is then upon these few in every similar audience that musicians must be music lovers. But conversely, this same number is lost if musical instruments are not number is not legion. Next came Hamlet, both Selma and I were much the same musical reputation, and I had really not held much in anticipation of the performance, so surprised as I was at Hamlet, the hitherto heralded unusual town? A huge audience turned out to the concert.

BATHS ESSENTIAL
ASSERTS JACKSON
IN HEALTH TALK
By Algren R. B. Jackson
(For The Associated Press Press)
When, back in 1842, the first bath-hat was installed in the home of a wealthy manufacturer in Cincinnati, the daily press was flooded with letters from irate physicians. The shock of taking regular baths was dangerous. The idea was criticized by commonwealth officials and even commonwealths the legislature acting upon the tip given by doctors whom the public knew knew more about bathing. To stop this "devilish idea" by imposing a tax of $30 upon each bath, Boston, following this lead, actually prohibited baths, except after the death of a patient being drafted by physician.
In Philadelphia an ordinance which would have made it illegal to take baths in public was defeated. November was defeated by only two votes.
It not laugh! It is no cause for remembrance that when a profession takes itself seriously, makes certain mistakes, it was wrong, that profession goes down one peg in the esteem of the very time it depends on
Green, the local school principal, and John Perry, physician-violinist, and the librarian, were not invited to the concert, so I could not help singing a good concert, more especially since one of my former pupils of piano accompanied me. I went up to the "mountain-top," ashelvine, where I was presented under the performance of the retainer of the Y. M. C. A., and sang to the accompaniment of another of my former pupils, which reminds me of the way I would be sure of the efficiency of their accompanists, before starting out on my own years and years develop their own.

EMPLOYER'S LIFE
SAVED BY NEGRO
Stuttgart, Ark. — (A N P) — Saturday morning when Rastus Cormillion went to work he was just plain "Rastus, Mr. Scott's chauffeur", but when he was away he was always saved the life of his employer at the risk of his own.
Cormillion and Scott were driving down the highway a short distance from here when the steering gear of his car broke and he was drained a drainage ditch and both men were pinned underneath the machine and Scott's head was covered with water. Seeing the plight of his employer, Cormillion squirmed near enough to get his head out of the water, and for ninety minutes he held the white man's head out of the water and prevented him from drowning.
The men were rescued by passing murders and brought back to the city.

ATHLETIC RULE
Austin, Texas—The athletic authorities of Huston College, as a recent meeting, agreed to permit only students of the collegiate department to participate upon any request, and the department affects only the students of the subcollege department, and the number of students participating from this department has never been more than one or two in the past few years. The new ruling does not affect San Huston College, the next year because, with one exception, every member of the past year's team was in the college department. The Southwestern Athletic Conference, of which Samuel Huston is a member, permits six years of varsity play and six years as high school students and four years as college students. It has been only a few years ago since the personnel of the Samuel Huston College students of the school but players who had been playing together from five to eight years. Sometimes the

Fourthly, students who quarter hours in the collegiate designation must be able to represent the school in any intercollegiate athletic contest. This means a student to become a full-time student in the College athletic teams in the future, must be a graduate of a first grade college, or be classified from freshman college.

The following schools were represented: Bishop Paul Quinn, Prairie View, Texas. Paul Quinn, Prairie View, Texas. The name of the Southern Athletic Conference was changed to Southwestern Athletic Conference and embraces the states of the entire southwest. Langton College of Oklahoma withdrew its application to become a annual fall game with Wiley at Dallas. The years of competition was changed from five years to six years — two years in high school and four years in college. Every year over two years in high school shall count as one year of college competition, and no students are permitted to attend four years in the college department. Students must carry at least fifteen hours per week toward a degree or high school diploma and pass in two-thirds of their work to compete in conference athletics. Commercial and vocational students who have a degree are eligible to compete.
Any student baseball game for money during the year, for example, will begin before the end of the school year to play baseball for monarchs in any sport in the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

By ALVIN J. MOSES
(For the Associated Negro Press)
Though many eminent white dispensers of sport Idita will take in five of the eight places in the boxing divisions to colored fighters, we will bring out in our article, will justify the nominations. Those five are George Dixon, biancone, hanweight Joe Watt, wettweight; Sam Joe Watt, joe; Wettweight; Jackson Johnson, heavyweight.
George Dixon was biancone and featherweight champion of the world. In order to acclaim him the greatest glove, one has only to glance over more than 109 pounds, he thought nothing of spotting some of the world's greatest fighters a matter of twelve times. He wettweight, hanweight or featherweight him the lion-heart little Nova Scotia never lived.
He and his team matches with Frank Erne and Young Grifo are ring epics, to be sung by the sages in Valentine's Day more. When Terry McGovney humbled Tom O'Rourke's precious jewel he was but a broken down shell of
His manager once posted a forfeit $55,000 for Walcott to fight Jim Cain. He was the first to be forfeited night, the money to be forfeited unless Walcott licked both men in convincing fashion. Such was the greatness of Walcott and shoulders over any welterweight that ever lived. Finally Smith was the one man who gave him his hardest battles and they hooked up a number of times, Joe winning frequently. Sam was the man that breathed between the weights of 65 and 80 pounds, and members whom we rate as the world's greatest "All Time" middleweight. The weight of 80 pounds, Gardner, Jack Root, Jack O'Brien, Fireman Jim Fim, Ketchel, and his silvan were wonderful lightweights, some instances. But the devastating author of the six-inch hook that bone and sinew could not withstand,
As for Jack Johnson, he was the perfect athlete. His reflexes were unbelievable, and his ordination was a thing of beauty unequalled by any heavyweight. Unbelievable, he himself, the man who forced Bob Fitzsimons to admit he wanted none of the palm nevertheless. No boxer was able to make Johnson a better upper-cut went out of existence when he became too old to fight. Defensive skills were no more, the noise among the playbags who hit the old beam in the neighbor's yard.

School nurse says all girls should know this
TALKING to a rooofed of high school girls on personal hygiene, an experienced district nurse said: "Take the shoes out and wash for girls to keep the system functioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise is to keep the system functioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise in taking moli, since it works mechanically when it is worn. It also the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when male shoes may be taken. A pooled every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause ditch or harm."

Lesson for February 26
OTHER MIGHT WORKS OF JESUS
LESSON TEXT—Mark 2:11; 35-44
GOLDEN TEXT—Txty faith bath
INTERMEDIATE AND NENDOR TOP-K
Jesus the Giver and Preserver of
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-K
The Works of Path.
The accounts of the raising of the
children of Jesus are so interwoven as almost to
constitute one narrative. But since the
people are diverse and places separate,
they should be treated separately.
1. Jairus' Daughter Raised from
the Dead (v. 22-34 and 35-42).
2. Joseph's Daughter Raised (v. 82-34).
3. His only daughter (v. 44-23),
perhaps his only child, lay dying. In this time
of utter helplessness he came to
surrender to Jesus, to raise her up. In the
providence of God, sorrow, sickness and death
are often used to bring needy men and
children to Jesus. Jesus showed the proper attitude toward
Jesus, "He fell at His feet" (v. 22).
2. Jesus goes to Jairus (v. 24).
3. Jesus goes to Joseph, laying
his hand upon his daughter she would live. Such faith always gets a response from Jesus.
4. Jesus of his daughter's death
(v. 33).
The messenger who brought the news of her death suggested that he should go further, as it was now too late. 4. Jairus' faith strengthened (v. 30). As soon as daes heard the words spoken concerning the death of this girl, he said to the father, "Be not afraid, only believe." The moors rebeled (vv. 37-38). He now dismissed the crowd and allowed only three of his disciples to enter the church this chamber of death with Him. 4. Jairus' faith rewarded (vv. 41-42). He took the dammed by the hand and issued the command for her to arise. The expression "Talia cillum" expressed. "Wake up, little girl." Straight arose and walked and parted of the Woman With an issue of Blood Healed (vv. 32-34).
1. Hcr helpless condition (vv. 25,
25, cf. Luke 8:33).
She had been a great sufferer for twelve long years.
2. Her faith (vv. 27, 28).
With the communication of He healing virtue, He spake most gracious and comforting words to this man, and he comforted her, not her faith, that she had saved her. Faith does not need to face dangers and to exhaust itself in active suffering, but in the presence of blessing. All that is required is a trusting prayer. Not only did she gain the blessing, but had the distinctions of her being ad having been addressed by Jesus as "daughter," which shows His spirit of tenderness to those who come to Him with their need.

The Sower, in the parable, cast his seed to the winds of heaven.
That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the barren places, perished.
Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow.
The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds.
He plants it carefully in the "good ground"—in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results.
He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspapers he covers completely the markets which he knows, upon careful investigation, to be right places for his product to flourish.

Surveyed by
The Associated Negro Press
with the cooperation of
The National Negro Business League and the Department of Commerce
and Other Reliable Agencies.
NOTE—If the articles appearing in this column suggest any particular question to your mind, or if you desire further information along the lines suggested, you may address the Editor of the Business Department of the Associated Negro Press, 4621 Indian Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, or Secretary, National Negro Business League, Taukeegee Institute, Alabama, or a communication to the Inquiry Division, Bureau Domestic Commerce, Washington, D. C., will be productive of the further information desired.
BANK PRESIDENT TALKS ABOUT BUSINESS
C. H. Douglas, president of the Middle Georgia Savings and Investment Company of Macon, Georgia, is a keen and observing business man who has had the benefit of many years' experience in several lines of business. Out of that experience has come the philosophy which enables him to conduct a variety of enterprises, not only in Macon, but with widely scattered investment businesses. In a recent communication to the editor of this department he wrote: "I find in special lines we are doing well. The undertaking and insurance business is forging ahead nicely; but in the grocery, drug and theater business, to mention a few lines, we are scarcely doing our own.
"You are interested in what must be done to improve business," he continued. "Well, the Negro must first study the psychology of the people and cater to it. He must prepare to meet the competition of prices and loosen his grip on the business. He must take an interest in instilling in his people race pride and self-consciousness, especially where his trade is primarily with his people. This interest must not be selfish. It must be general. His own benefits will come along with those of the other merchants of the group.
"Before entering a particular business, he should first investigate the probabilities of there being a fair chance at success for him in the field operations he has chosen. If there are others in the line in the community not prospering, unless he can detect the fault responsible, he has little right to complain. He must study the business methods and be self-convinced that he is capable of better serving the public, can sell goods cheaper or with other substantial reasons upon which to base the expectancy of success.
"He must not hope to succeed through friendship, great as that asset is to any business; nor will sheer lock avail him. Few men succeed haphazardly. It is through the survival of the fittest, all other things being equal."
It is sound advice from an authoritative source, and well worth passing on for the benefit of those sincerely interested in making a success of business.
ATTRACTING EASTERN AND NORTHERN CAPITAL
The question has been asked as to how may Eastern and Northern capital best be attracted, secured by first mortgage secured on first calls Negro property? It has been associated the inquiry as to how can finance be obtained to finance the selling, and mortgage of negro homes? The answer to these questions is an interlocking one—cooperation is the keyword to both.
To interest outside public, that capital first must be assembled somewhere. In business practice, banks, insurance companies, trust companies, investment concerns, etc. are the usual assembling points. Such concerns are not limited to the financial interests of all people. All people naturally lean toward that with which they are most familiar, except for the speculative few who for the prospect of greater profits venture elsewhere in person, or represented by their money.
It is therefore logical that to attract favorable attention from these controllers of the reservoir of reserve funds that one's interests be made familiar to them.
There must be the interest of those financial ventures who are cautious, there must be solidity of investment to hold that interest when attracted, and that solidity must be made known to them in unmistakable terms that are susceptible of verification. This job, in any community worth the effort, is too great for any one individual business to underwrite the returns cannot be concentrated upon one person or business. Hence, we find the extensive advertising campaigns conducted by such associations as boards of directors of banks and companies to make known the desirability of a community as a place for investment.
Get your progressive elements of your community organized. Have the organization assemble the facts concerning the population of the community. The earning power of this population; the stability of employment; the range of employment so as to show the probabilities of the failure or success of the organization; and the time" the emotional condition of the community which is an indicator of the future; the rate of population growth; the financial history of the community; the property ownership; the number of businesses together with as accurate approximation as may be obtained as to the average gross and net incomes. Learn the record of the people for credit and prompt payments; ascertained the credit history of the business men of the group; the data as to how they paid off their obligations. List the numbers insured, ascertain the average coverage of life and fire insurance, and obtain data upon the success or failures among the business men of the group. This is a job of perhaps a year for a competent secretary or research agent and it costs some money. But, do these things and be prepared to pay for having them well done; and the foundation for some splendid publicity. You will be able to see that many and many investors will seek confirmation of what is said about the community, and follow that with investment. You want the investment; hence, you must pay for the means of getting it. This cost pro-rated among the membership of a genuinely interested group would be of little cost to each; and the growth of the community would pay back each interested one many fold. Organized, have the organization make itself known to the world at large.
Establish contact with the local chamber of commerce, with the National Negro Business League and with the United States Division of Domestic Commerce by asking them for such information as each may have that will be helpful. This process will make your body known to each of these and it will become a component part of their own published lists. Then when you have received the information, you may be asked by the authorities for some one to whom they may write, you will be among those asked for information.
And your information will be more favorably accepted because you have come to the inquirer's notice through channels in which he has confidence. You will be asked to answer the questions again stand out as the essentials. A local finance corporation or building and loan association meets the need. Money is inimid, and goes where success seems obvious. If the local concern is doing a successful business, you will be asked to answer the questions again. Given a community with a live civic organization and a going finance company, one will, as a rule, find it to be a community that has little need to use other efforts to attract investments. Witness, please, Chicago where you live, is a good place to find a community with another in process of organization: where six insurance companies have funds to invest and where several good finance companies, like the National Negro Business League and with the United States Division of Domestic Commerce and paying semi-annual dividends to the stockholders.

Health Authority Issues An Appeal To Colored Group
Washington, D. C. —(PNS)—Dr. Roosece B. Brown, lecturer and special consultant in the U. S. department of health service, makes a special effort to recruit social workers, and other persons interested in the health of the Negro and of the American people. The public health work for and by the New population has suffered from the lack of information that would give a true picture of the Negro population to be attacked. This lack of information has been duly chiefly the result of the

public health service authorized the office of statistical investigations to prepare a bulletin on mortality among Negroes. This bulletin includes the United States, Public Health Office of "Mortality Among Negroes of the United States," and Public Health Office of "Mortality Among Negroes of the United States," by Assistant Statistician Mary Goye, Sr. D., with a brief introduction to the distribution of statistical investigations. The bulletin contains in concise form the distribution of these population groups in white and colored populations including the distribution of these population groups to which they live in cities and in rural areas, the rate at which they live in cities and in rural areas, the rate at which they live in cities and in rural areas as well as in cities; the changes in the "expectation of the mortality from important causes with special reference to pulmonary disease"; and the mortality from important causes with special reference to pulmonary disease.
erate States, where the great bulk of Negroes live, have not developed their statistics of mortality up to the age of 18. They are to the U. S. death registration area. Within the last few years, however, the vital statistics of most of the Negroes in the United States are standard, and a mass of facts has not accumulated relating to the causes of death among Negroes as a general geographical environment.
Statistics Available Free
"The statistics are available for the most part in the annual mortality statistics volumes of the U. S. and for the most part in the state and local health departments; but Negro as well as other sanitation officials are destabilizing of collecting these annual in such a form as to make them easily available to those who are interested." Accordingly, at the suggestion of several Negro sanitarians and other officials, the U. S.

COLEMAN’S CLARION CALL
Elsewhere in this issue of The Informer appears an article
‘from the trenchant pen of Professor William Coleman, for many
Years principal of El Paso Colored High School, at present. as
Eistand cashier of the Fraternal Bank and ‘rust Company at
Fort Worth and one of the leading Baptist laymen of the state,
calling upon the constituents of the Baptist’ Missionary and Ea
‘ational Convention of Texas to save the denomination and race
from impending: disgrace.
Tn his article, Professor Coleman cites attention to. the fact
that the printing plant of the denomination organ, the Western
Star, formerly lated and published in. Houston,’ haa virtually
heen soldat sherif's sale t0 satisfy x creditor; that Houston
College, the institution of learning owned and operated. (2) by
the convention, has practically closed its doors; that notes due
1 North ‘Texas bank are long since due and unpaid: that things
dre becoming critical from a denominational standpoint. and
hat something must be done at once to save what ttle repo
tation prestige ant standing the denomination still Max Tet i
othe Fort Worth educator-banker makes the suggestion that
he Baptist leaders calla statewide meeting; that those who are
now attempting to direct conventional affairs resign; that the
peril sntonor convention be rmpowered to select and lec
fhe officers; that same be held in some centrally. located ety.
and that-a definite and. workable program, around. which. ai
Factions wil unite, be Trubectat! for camedinte cosstmcmaton
and execution.
it ‘what the scholarly and brilliant North Texas layman says
about the Baptist denomination, in his open letter to the lead
rs and members of the charch in this state, is true, then unless
the Baptist lenders are wise and Immediately seek to reorganize
their forees and relieve the denomination of much embarrass

inughing stock of the’ state,
‘While’ The Informer is not a religious paper, per se, and while
it ls not given to “meddling” into denominaiional aifara, this
paper realizes and recognizes the fact that a grave and seriou
peril faces the Baptist: Missionary and Educational Convention

the. fature looks anything but roseate.

But this condition was sure to obtain where bossism, bis

‘where men exalted themselves and their adherents more that

Che Fonston Informer
America’s Greatest Weekly Rewspaper
| to what presid-ntial aspirant The Informer thinks the Negroes
| of Texas and the South should support. in the pre-convention
| campaign—wh:ther we should line up with the Lowden forces,
or back the Hoover movement; whether any other Republican
[ae res prove @ better man than these two outstanding
presidential prospects—this paper holds to the same opinion it
held in the fall of 1919, when it discussed the presidential possi-
bilities for 1920.
AAt that time The Informer discussed the availability of Henry
Ford, who was being prominently mentioned as Republican
presidential nominee; Herbert Hoover, in whose behalf a mil
pre-convention "campaign was tentatively projected by some of
his admirers and supporters; the late General Leonard. Wood,
whose cause we filly espoused after Mr. Hoover would not
| consent to enter the race; Charles Evans Hughes, one of the
| most brilliant statesmen America has produced; and former
Governor Frank 0. Lowden of Ulinois, who made a mighty fine
war-time chief magistrate of the Prairie State. and is recognized
ts being sympathetic and friendly tothe Negro race.
| "our delay’ in announcing our pre-convention choice for presi
dent has been occasioned by our “watehful waiting” policy, to
| see if any other aspirant would enter the presidential field. who
| would prove a better man than Mr. Hoover or any of the other
| wowed candidates and “favorite sons.”
“The “favorite son” idea has never had any particular appeal
to The Informer, for it only affords the said “favorite” a chance
|to so manipulate and maneuver affairs as to get some conces-

|__Every citizen is quite familiar with the public record of Mr,
|Hoover! his activites during the World War as ‘national food
|administrator, and how capably he managed and conducted this
‘mammoth program: his recent interest and activity in the Miss-
issippi River flooded area; his grasp on public questions and is-
‘sues, particularly as they affect our domestic prosperity and re-
sultant harmony’ and happiness, as well as our international rela
Uionships; how he advoeates and stands for efficiency and pro-
ficiency in governmental affaira; his utter lack of party ortho-
‘Another thing, Mr. Hoover has not solicited and is not yet
seeking the office of president, but the office seems to be seeking
hhim, which is one of the best recommendations as to his char-
acter, ability and qualifications for the highest elective office
Within the gift of the American electorate.
‘in discussing and considering. the fitness and qualifications of
aspirants, prospects and candidates for various public fics, it
{s'customary for groups or blocs to discuss and consider such
official possibilities in the light of their attitude and sympathy
towards said group or bloc.
Tn this respect, if Mr. Hoover maintains the same sympathetic
attitude towards the Negro race as he has in former Years, and
45 he did recently when he virtually fnued an edit in the Mis
issippi River flood area, practically emancipating. thousantls
Negro peons and serfs from the damnable and diabolical slave-
system almost universally in vogue in the delta section; if Mr.
Hoover remains the man with a free rind, and if he stays Joya
and steadfast to his religious creed and training; if he does not
permit designing politicians and political demagorrues to. sway
[End sweep him from the path of his holden duty. The Informer
Considers him the best man in the field for Republican nomina

‘As far as the Negro citizens of Texas are concerned, the fact

ational governments, and have the constitutional and inalien-
| able right to support any man, for any office in the gift of said
| electorate.
|" "The fact that one Republican faction in Texas has already
endorsed Mr. Hoover's candidacy and is now organizing, white
“Hloover-for-president” clubs in various sections of the state

{ype of recognition and consideration?

"The Informer has made the repeated suggestion that the Ne

same desinite plideal action before it in too late; but if no suck
parley’ is called, then we suggest that Negroes in their several
communities assemble, discuss the merits of the various prest

“The Informer believes that man is Herbert Hoover.
