RICHARDSON **** NO ROOM FOR BLACKS ENROUTE TO HEARNE THREE LETTERS RECEIVED SIMMONS WRITES US Monday morning — While seated in a day coach on the Houston and Texas Central train train bound for Denver, we drove luxury passenger trains operated by the Southern Pacific Lines between Calgary and the Grand Central Central station. Speaking about a station, it is just to notice that Southern Lines have not erected $7,000,000 modern passenger depot promised Houston sometime ago; or we were told that the department of visitors arriving here for the Democratic National Convention reached the station, and getting their first impression that Houston is somewhat of a "bick town, with a passenger station to call to credit to some burgery. But we did not begin this article because the Southern Pacific runs a passenger train which makes absolutely no provisions for colored passengers. Just how this railroad company pulls off such a stunt and gets by the authorities, we must pushes the large number of colored residents of Texas, many of whom are passengers and patrons of this railroad system. One of the heads of one of the train companies several special trains to its stations in Texas, which annually operate in public declaration that his order will not accord the Southern Pacific Lines the type and amount of support and services that his wife should receive, as long as colored passengers are not permitted to travel to the Limited, "known as Nos. 101 and 102."

Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—That Oscar DePriest, the Thompson-Crowne candidate for congressman from the First congressional district of Illinois, will not have as easy sailing in gaining his ambition as at first predicted, is indicated in the vigorous fight being waged against him and the number of candidates he faces. Already three others have signified or been suggested as candidates for the office made vacant by the death of Congressman Martin B. Madden, Judge H. W. Hirron, a nationally known attorney and orator, is perhaps the leading opponent of DePriest, boasting of the support of the Deepee fraction of the Republican party. James G. Cotter, assistant United States district attorney, and a close friend of the late Congressman Madsen, has been mentioned as a likely candidate, and Attorney B. G. Clanton has also been named. Lee have sought to narrow down the field and in doing so have pointed out that a three-way split of the Negro vote is fraught with danger of electing a white Democrat to the office. Texas Solon's Bloc Is Given Hearing Dawson Supporters Hopeful The supporters of Attorney William L. Dawson, who opposed the nomination of Congressman Madden, who also made a good showing at the primaries, had given up long the nomination will be awarded to him. They are making a driving campaign and in a statement made to the Annotated Negro Press by Dr. Edward W. Bates, prominent local physician, who was interested in the Dawson campaign, gave what he declared to the other side of Ohio a congressional fight." His statement with the declaration that "I do not k n ow whether this is as timely as it should be going to the polls in November should know the facts concerning the efforts to Texas Sold Is Given Republican National Convention Will Accord Both Bloes in State Equal Status; Victory For Congressman. Washington, D. C. "The Republican National Convention has given formal notice that it will hear the Texas contest involving four defeats, district or 26 seats in all." The manner of the hearing was regarded as a victory for the Wurzbach following in that it agreed to take the cases up at large separately and the cases up at smaller one by one instead of hearing the entire 26 en bloc. "The Wurzbach election facted by the large and large only in state convention, whereas the convention elected the entire 26 in state convention. In the proceeding was followed in 1912 when the national convention heard the contests by districta and untested the Cecil A. Lyons faction, and untested the Cecil A. Lyons faction. So far as the printed statement given out is concerned, neither side is recognized as contestant or winner. It was decided that for the purposes of the hearing they are regarded as on equal basis. Hearing of contests from Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Tennessee, Texas and Porto Rico are on Monday. Texas probably will be reached Wednesday or Thursday of the next week. The states are taken in alphabetical order. America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1928 elect a Negro to congress and the opposition we met from Mr. DePriest, who is now seeking the office for himself. The text of Dr. Bates' statement is as follows: "Our reason for desiring to send a Negro to congress was we felt that Negro would be presented by a Negro and he could do more for the enforcement of the 14th, 15th, and 16th amendments. We, before, were extremely careful in selecting our candidate. First, we decided he must be a man with a clean life behind him which would mature us that his life would be clean after becoming congressional and a courageous fighter. Our candidate, Attorney William Dawson, fulfilled these requirements. HOUSTON READY FOR KP PARLEY; THOUSANDS DUE Y.W.C.A. Secretary Relinquishes Office With Local Branch Mrs. Doris Wooten-Kirkman, who has been connected with the Blue Triangle Branch of the Office of the Chief Justice here since 1921, and who was "loaned" to Dallas during the work started in the North Texas metropolis, has tendered her resignation to the local commissioner to help up her work with the Houston organization.

She served from 1922 to May 23, 1928 (when her reorganization by the local committee of management) as executive secretary. When Mrs. Kirkman took large amounts of the local branch in large room and a "very small kitchen, while today the branch is on the ground floor of the Odd Fellows Temple, with activities room, catera, committee room, and room and residence on Saulnier Street.

WHITE AUSTRIANS FIGHT DUEL OVER JOSEPHINE BAKER New York City. (A-NP) -From reports received here, Josephine Basker, premier entertainer and dancer, hopped into the news columns again last week. This time Josephine is the cause of a duel between her husband and a Hungarian cavalryman, because of the latter's attention to her.

Colored Defaulters Now Serving Terms In Prison; More Trials Scheduled Penitentiary Sentences Meted Out To Three Officers of Defunct Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company—Already In State Prison At Nashville—Trial Drew Thousands of Colored Depositors. Special to The Informer. Memphis, Tenn—Depositors of the defunct Fraternal & Solvent Savings Bank & Trust Company had their day in court last week, for the state held "trumps" on three of the seven Negro barkers accused of aiding in the wholesale series of thefts that brought the bank into the second criminal courtroom, where A. F. Ward, president; Leroy Williams, assistant cashier, and E. J. Raspberry teller drew one-way trips to the state penitentiary when they pleaded guilty to fraudulent breach of trust. Ward was sentenced to 10 years, while Williams and Raspberry escaped with sentences of five years each. They are already in the penitentiary at Nashville. Many of the charged depositors seem to think that they "got off" light, but the state is well satisfied with the compromise verdict because under the technicalities of the law, all that any of the three race bank officials could be guilty of was fraudulent breach of trust, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years.

Damage was not great. Four families in the neighborhood told the police they had received letters about a month ago warning them to move and threatening to bomb their homes if they were not out in three weeks. Even then to the police at the time, they said. The bomb Friday night, apparently of dynamite, was placed in an alleyway between a flat at 4038 (rear) Evans Avenue, shattering all windows in both buildings. Mrs. Anna Holliday, 4036 (rear), was cut about a year-old daughter injured shack and incinerated. Both were convicted to City Hospital.

WRITER OPPOSES TERM OF "NEGRO" Editor The Houston Informer: We believe the race editors haven't given due thought to the NEGRO habitual. Some of them, imitating editors of daily papers, are decorating their headlines with NEGRO printed in boxcar letters; and are thus assimilating the rights of the race. They have always limited the special privilage and discrimination, a word expressive of inherent and acquired interests in necessary. Negro experience with which it has been associated. That is why the word is inscribed as says Thomas Jefferson, "Nursed and educated in the daily habit of meeting the degraded condition, both bodily and mental, not reflecting that degradation was very much the work of them. They have yet doubted that they were as legitimate subjects as their horses and cattle. They used the word Negro when talking to his or her employee.

Of special importance was the declaration of the general conference at the general conference. This ruling was received with much enthusiasm and ends a fight which has been on for some time. Laymen, contending that they support presiding elders and bishops, have supported the formation for a number of years. The result this year is expected to aid materially the advancement of the great denomination. The report of the bishop's bill was made, it was also decided to abolish an ex-officio membership in the body and that in the future bishops would have no vote in the general conference except when providing.

Reduced Rates For National Teachers FISHES FOR THIEF; BAIT IS VERY FINE New York City.—(ANP)—Several days ago Mrs. Harriet J. Briggs had a meeting containing a noon talk with $100 stamps on her door. All attempts to find the贼 failed, so she devised a trap of her own. She made a trap to take a chance on another letter, she played one under the door, and attached a string to it, and then back to it to retrieve the letter. She set with the right hilt and late Tuesday afternoon, as she was keeping watch over the grocery store and opening the door suddenly, Mrs. Briggs found Frank Woodley, a 15-year-old boy, who was accustomed to the grocery store and the apartment building. Woodley confessed to the theft of the other letter and was held in $500. PAGE FOUR—FIRST IN CIRCULATION Ba Mrs TM.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER (Continued from Page One) got off to a late start and continued until a later hour, very few persons left the auditorium. Chain professional offices are quite the voice around Hearne and adaption of the M.D. maintains offices in Calvert and Hearne, spending the mornings at the latter with Dr. Prescott, the dentist, has offices at Hearne, Cameron and Calvert. The Hearne, not want for Hearne hospitality, assisting the Tylers in making our brief stay very pleasant. "The Mirror" is in receipt of three letters, viz: One from W. M. McDonnell from Texas to the Republican National Convention on the Wurzbach-stittleton ticket; Dr. J. T. Walton of at-large on same ticket to the Kansas city parly, and another from "A Reader" wants to know why Mayor Oscar F. Holcum never extends the official welcome to colored organizations which convene here, al-ready to perform to this task. We are unable to answer "A Reader's" query, and pass it on to the mayor Mr. McDonald writes: "I think I comprehend clearly your position, and I am proud to be loyal to Hoover led you into the campa of the worst enemies of our country, not only attempted to keep us out of the Republican party, but formed a coalition with Moody for the Pemco out of both parties." Mr. Walton penned lines: "I was as hard as you do the fine thing as I was sorry to see you among the Createries. 'Your report of our observations renew the faith of your friends. I understood you all along.' I was so proud to; I for gave you me inducements aptly to join them. But I was not so proud to care and only wanted the Negro as a puppet, and to save them from being charged with shouting out the Because this writer has always been arrayed against the so-called "white collar," Harris County and Texas; and, in view of the fact that our editorial and personal support of Hon. Herbert Hoover, many of his presidential nomination, placed on the same side of the fence as the so-called "regime," many of his supporters were hoping against hope that some worthwhile recognition would be given this writer, not merely as a representative of the county convention, but in the state and national conventions. In particular, this writer made no fight, although some of our good friends, white and colored, insisted that such recognition be accorded to him. While supporting Herbert Hoover and preaching party harmony in Texas, this editor found himself on the wrong side of the Nolte and others of the "illy-white" dynasty; but this writer has never endowed his administration of parish affairs. In thus advancing and supporting the editor nor the Informer has forsaken the critical principles of Republicanism, and as a watchman on the political power, he did not care to take the news, ing, and if the Creager-Note forces did not care to take heed, their blood did not care to take heed, their blood did not care to take heed, when they face the contests and credentials committees at Kane County, they are still for Hoover, despite the action of the "ili-wily" phrase, for whom he holds no brief; neither for the hold of partisan affairs nor for the trend of partisan affairs. In conclusion, we take this occasion to thank Mr. McDonald and Dr. Walton for their kind and generous assistance, for we merely did our duty, under such pre-convention circumstances, as we were in. In failing to place a solitary republican upon their delegation the Creager-Note machine is in imminent danger of writing "finis" to its partisan administration and political forces endorse such anti-Negro policy and the secretary of commerce in the state will be "just too bad" for the G. O. the Democrats nominate Al Smith. Only big men (in heart and soul) are invited to speak at the Granger, Notley, & Co. did accept a genuine Republican program, and they will be told false ideas about political goals. Houston Physician Back From Meeting DR. J. M. LAWSON, former Temple physician, who recently moved to Houston and maintains offices at 21 Pilgrims Building, San Pelle and Bagley, has returned to the city from Chicago where he attended the general conference of the A. M. E. Church, and the clinics at some of the leading hospitals in the Windy City. Dr. Lawson is one of the state's best known and most outstanding members of the medical profession, a longtime president of the Lone Star State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association. "white" delegation to the Kansas City parley, merely affirms and confirms what we have repeatedly contended in the fundamental and elemental principles of Republicanism and Americanism.

GIRL RESERVES PLAN TO HONOR THEIR MOTHERS LOCAL TEACHER TO OPEN SUMMER MUSIC CLASSES Mrs. M. W. D. Sledge announces the opening of her summer classes for piano students, Monday, June 4, at her residence studio, 3508 McGewen Avenue. A course in theory for beginners, and a course in music for the music theory bears the same relation to a musical education that the study of human anatomy bears to an education in art. As the artist must be familiar with human anatomy before he attempts to draw from life, so must a musician be familiar with the theory of music before he can execute it intelligently; and as the true artist can most deeply appreciate the theory of music he understands the theory of music can enjoy a performance in a way which no mere piano player can ever realize. Mrs. Sledge uses the Burrows class method, having received personal instruction from the authoress of the "Burrows Course of Music Study". There are many adamant reasons for this instruction. It stimulates cheerfulness and ambition by means of healthy competition and class environment; it improves sense, rapid thinking, musical feeling and the other facilities necessary to In connection with the above mentioned method, the Molly-Synder Musical Education Center will be offered to pupils taking the full summer course.

ROBERT RUSSIA MOTON Utica, Miss.—(ANP)—Fear is the bogey of the white South. The white South is afraid of the Negro; of some unreal relation which it describes as social equality; of intermarriage. Those are the words of Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institution. Dr. Moton was principal speaker Tuesday afternoon at the twenty- fourth annual meeting of the founding of Uitica Normal and Industrial Institute which was planted here on the outskirts of the city. Moton was a graduate of Liam H. Holtzclaw, a disciple and favorite of the late Booker T. W. Hundreds of people from the country roundabout came to the school Tuesday to hear Dr. Moton and to man who has managed the face of the district during his quarter century of service. There were white people, black people, and many fathers and mothers of students and graduates, Friends, visiting principals, fathers and mothers of students schools, trustees from far and near all in basting, hustling groups, and with admiration for what they enjoy.

"I am no 'nigger' and I'm not a daisy' he pointed out. But I do not want to be called a Neru or a maned man or a black man, because I'm proud of my race, as proud of my family.

JUNE 2, 1928 Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (By REN F. P. FITZWATER, D.D., Dana Moody Blake Institute of Chicago). @ 1258, Western Newspaper Dulc. Lesson for June 3 JESUS FACING BETRAYAL AND DEATH LESSON TEXT—Mark 14:1-42. GOLDEN TEXT—Not what I will but what Thou will JESUS—Jesus—'Last Super- With His Friends. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jeens' Last Supper With His Discipline. **WITH HIS DESIGN** INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP KOPE TYPES OF TESTING IC-Loyality in Times of Testing IC-IC-The Fellowship of His Sufferings. 1. Jusus 'Largain With the Chief Pepper' (vv. 12) The initial crime was committed immediately following the beautiful act of deposition by Mary (Golan 12:11). The motive acting Jusus was avowal. 1. The preparation (vv. 12:16). In reply to the disciples' inquiry as to whether they should prepare Pamela for the journey, would he found a guest clammer, a large upper room where they could make ready the Passover. The betrayal was to be by one of the disciples who was eating with Jusus his betrayal had been predicted. 3. The sermon of the bread and meat. These were saints of His broken body and shed blood by which he made atonement for man's sins. The Disciple Forcetel (vv. 25:21). In spite of their own turning from the Navarre, he assured them they would be given before them into Galilee. Peter protected against such an act of disobedience by the disciples and assured the disciples all the rest would forsake Him. He told Lord Jesus how little he knew, even about his best reservation, telling him that on that very night he would go to Jesus Christ with him. IV. The Agony in Gethsemane (v. 32-42). 1. Jesus Christ's suffering (v. 32-42). (1) The place (t. 32). The Garden of Gethsemane, an enclosure containing al and fig trees, beyond Kilden, about three-fourths of the city, contains olive trees. Ederheim says, "It is an enclosure of trial, distress and anger." (2) His companion (t. 32). He took him with the elephn disciples that they might share, so far as possible, this sorrow with Him. This is the same as the "cap" in verse 36. It was not primarily the purpose of the gospel, but to creep him; it was his suffering as the sinnerer of the sensations of his pure soul coming into contact with the earth. 2. Jesus Christ praying (v. 35-42). His only recourse in the hour of supreme need was prayer. 3. He prayed (v. 38). His posture (v. 35). He fell on His face to the ground. 4. His petition (v. 36). He fell on His face to the ground. It was most grateful to Him to face this shame since He pressed on Him. 5. He came into the world John 12:27, 28. Heb. 2:21. He prayed that the might pass from Him. The mercy life would be crushed out. Life would be crushed out. His prayer was heard (Heb. 5:7). He was recognition (Heb. 5:7). He was touch on the cross was the will of God, the Father, for He was the Lain stain from the d. The disciples rebuked (v. 37). He singled out Jesus, since he had been accusing his loyalty (John 12:38). e. Exhortation to the cap (v. 38). Wake and pray lost ye enter into creation. (2) The second prayer (vv. 34, 40). He withdrew the second time from the church in prayer in words in prayer. This was not vain repetition, but repeated request. He prayed to the priest (vv. 41). He uttered a prayer (Matt. 28-29). He told the disciples to sleep on and take them to the church and had now come for his betrayal.

But, as was suggested, among the few there were two hot mammals. I did not need, nor make any effort to do anything to help others, including a minister, did. I was much more interested in conversation of two very dark men, traveling in new overalls and talking to a young woman who had just left home. I was very interested in everybody in the car might hear, and the men made their comments, family with the subject, of course as well, from them an idea of where the Negroes who stand on Chicago coors wield a language they wish, come from."

WHY NOT GO INTO BUSINESS GEORGIA PARLEY PLANS HELP FOR RURAL NEGROES Atlanta, Ga. - The conditions of Negroes in the rural sections of Georgia was given major attention at the meeting of the committee on education in the county, and the condition was reached that special effects should be made to increase the number of Negro farm and demonstration agents, consolidate schools, secure better school equipment, and put into the school more of vocational training for rural life. The discussion centered around a report of rural conditions in two typical black belt counties, as revealed in an in-depth report by the committee by Arthur Raper, its executive secretary. The committee instructed that this study should be carried out in the public at its completion. Reports from over the state indicate that the state is working in many places through interracial cooperation in that the spirit of the state is widely operative in securing better wildlife facilities, the conservation of health, legal aid etc. Specific achievements are listed. many communities. As one of the great gains made in recent years, it was pointed out that lynching, formerly a matter of frequent occurrence, was disproportionate from the state, and that lynching occurred in the past two years. The committee again emphasized the need for establishing a training school for delinquent Negro girls and pledged to maintain the campaign for such an institution. This need was further emphasized by the work of the women's section of the committee, which for two years has been working for such a school. One of the most important admixtures of the meeting was delivered by the improvement of NEGRO school in the schools of Punch County, who told of the improvement of NEGRO school in the county and of the purpose of the county to develop the system further as rapidly as possible. "It is a misdirection," he said, "of the community can proper itself with half its population neglected. We are largely eradicated by education." B. F. Hubert, of Sarasota, president State Agricultural and Industrial College, expressed appreciation of the firm support given his institution by the recent legislature and of the heavy tax burden on the college made that support possible.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, AND ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DRAW. WITH WINDS, NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS - ROSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1928 THAT CONROE "NEGRO RAPE CASE!" Several weeks ago the daily newspapers of Texas gave prominent space on their front pages to the reported criminal attack of the usual "black, burly brute" upon a white girl of tender years near Conroe; and posses were organized, bloodhounds procured and a countrywide search made to apprehend the guilty culprit. Two or three Negroes were finally arrested, but all were released when the complaining witness failed to identify them, or the blacks were able to prove an alibi. Now the report is current in this section that the case was dropped like a hot brick, due to the fact that the bloodhounds persisted in returning to the white mob or pose, which was sourced the section for the "black rapist," and jumping upon one of the Nordic members of the defenders of "white supremacy." It is stated on good authority that these bloodhounds repeated this act every time they were led to the place where the crime is alleged to have been persecuted; yet the daily newspapers chronieled the fact that the dogs "lost the trail of the white girl's assailant." Of course, the Informer can not vouch for the verity or accuracy of this latest report and rumor, but this paper does know that no arrest has been made in connection with the alleged brutal and bestial crime, notwithstanding the fact that the peace and constabulary officers, as well as enraged citizens of Montgomery and adjacent counties, made a desperate effort to catch some Negro fitting the description given by the white schoolgirl of her attacker. Furthermore, The Informer also notes that nothing is being said or done about the "attack," which permits one to reach his own conclusions concerning this purported "criminal outrage." The recent release of a South Carolina Negro from the penitentiary, after serving thirteen years on a long sentence for an alleged criminal attack upon a white woman in the Palmetto State (the woman making a death-bed confession that Bess, the Negro serving time for the offense, was not guilty), is concrete evidence that many of these reported instances of a "Negro brute" attacking a white girl or woman, are base fabrications—the cry merely being raised to divert attention from the real culprit, or to cover up some indiscretion at the part of some one not identified with the colored race. Some years ago a similar charge was made in an East Texas town, and the hungry and howling hoodlums nabbed the first strange Negro they encountered, and carried him before the outraged and prostrate white girl. According to the version given by this Negro, whom this editor knew personally, the white girl feigned swooning when he was carried before her, and hysterically admonished the officers and pose to remove the black from her eyesight. When leading Negroes of this East Texas city were able to prove that this colored printer had no hand in the attack, he was released from prison; and it later developed that the girl and her Nordic sweetheart had almost been caught in an indiscretion act in an outhouse by the girl's father; and when the white youth had jumped over the back fence, the girl gave the alarm that a "big black niger" had outraced her. Needless to state that this case was also dropped like the recent Conroe assault case. Houstonians will recall the Luther Collins case, where an innocent colored youth, who was finally exonerated after colored citizens and organizations had raised and expended a young fortune for his legal defense, barely escaped the electric chair, and later a life sentence, on a trumped-up rape charge. If these Southern daily newspapers want to be fair and "shoot squarely," why don't they publish these facts when it is proven that no Negro committed such an offence, and that, in reality, no such attack was made upon some of these complaining witnesses? Conroe is not alone in this respect, for several such hoaxes have been engineered right here in "Heavenly Houston," and in two or three instances even the race officers have placed absolutely no credence in the reports and charges. If these Nordic mobs are so bent and intent "upon protecting and safeguarding a white womanhood by maintaining clubs in Judge Lynch's loop, why is it that these same mobbists never resort to their customary game and national pastime when the "brute bully" happens to possess a white skin?

As a result of the split between the Creager-Nolte and Wurzbach-Littleton factions, the Republicans of Texas are sending two sets of delegates to the Republican National Convention, which meets at Kansas City, June 12, 1928, when candidates for president and vice-president of the United States will be nominated. The Creager-Nolte delegation goes instructed to vote for Herbert C. Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination as long as there is a reasonable chance for the commerce secretary's nomination, while the Wurzbach-Littleton delegation goes uninstructed. Despite the talk by Mr. Creager from the convention floor at Dallas, that he is not a "ily-white" and that he is not a Negrophobe, it is interesting to observe that out of the 26 delegates and 26 alternates chosen by the Creager bloc, not one single Negro was chosen; yet some of the leading Republican of the state were active in the pre-convention campaign for Mr. Hoover, and a few of these black Hooverites sat as regular delegates in the Creager state convention. PRESTON 1243-7560 In this connection it might be fitting to state just here that two or three of these colored Hoover supporters, who held seats in the Creager-Nolte parley, were urged to ally themselves with the Wurzbach-Littleton faction—even on the morning of the convention—with the assurance that they would be taken care of as delegates and alternates to the national confab on the Wurzbach-Littleton uninstructed delegation, notwithstanding the fact that the said colored delegates were Hoover partisans. Contrasted with the attitude of electing an entire white, anti-Negro delegation by the Creager-Nolte combination, the Wurzbach-Littleton forces honored several Negroes with delegateships, one from the state-at-large and several from congressional districts where district conventions were held May 10, 1928, when the voters of these federal units, in keeping with Republican customs, laws and usages (even in Texas) elected their delegates and alternates to represent their districts at the Kansas City convention. This action of the Wurzbach-Littleton forces, i. e. the election of congressional delegates and alternates, has placed the Creeger-Nole congressional delegates and alternates on the defensive, and instead of the Wurzbach-Littleton district delegates being contestants, they are the contestants; and the Creeger-Nole district delegates elected at the Dallas convention, due to the fact that the so-called "regular" organization did not call nor hold district conventions, will be styled as the contestants in the contests for seats from the eighteen congressional districts of Texas. Mr. Creeger and his partisan followers will have a very difficult job explaining to the national leaders of the Republican party—who had already insisted that Negro Republicans be given a fair and equitable representation on all delegates coming from Southern states—why no colored Republicans are on their "ily-white" delegation, and why there are so many such delegates represented on the Wurzbach-Littleton delegation! To be perfectly frank, Mr. Creeger's all-Nordic delegation is not representative of Texas Republicans; for there are over 750,000 colored citizens residing in this state, with perhaps one-fifth of this number qualified as regular Republican electors, while the vote cast for the Republican gubernatorial candidate in 1926, representing chiefly the white Republican vote in Texas, was barely above 30,000. Running for reelection to the United States congress from the Fourteenth congressional district, Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach the only Republican elected to the highest legislative body in the nation from a purely Democratic state, received almost as many votes in his 1926 race in his district as the Creager-Note candidate for governor received throughout the entire Lone Star State. The only real Republican organization in Texas, which gets out votes and makes a respectable and commendable showing, is in the Bexar County section, which has elected a Republican congressman biennially since 1920, when the Harding landslide swept the republic. It was to assist and contribute one part in bringing about such a situation in Harris County and the Eighteenth congressional district that impelled the Informer to accept a local harmony for Fort Worth. He would make this county and district a powerful one in Republican affairs, both from a local, state and national standpoint. The Informer knew that no strong, virile Republican party could be built up and maintained in this district without the Negro vote; for there are over 60,000 colored residents in Houston and Harris County alone, to say nothing of the large colored population of Waller counties, which comprise this congressional district. It was our hope that the same type of harmony program could be effected throughout Texas, and it is to be regretted that the Creager-Nolte regime is going to jeopardize the Hoover cause and candidacy merely because of the "rule or ruln" policy of its leaders, and their unwillingness to heed the advice of men who are more interested in party growth and perseverity than in fussing over the spoils of office and distribution of federal patronage. The Informer is not attempting to serve in the role of a seer or prophet, but this paper cannot see where the national leaders of the Republican party can refuse to recognize a delegation headed by the lone Republican congressman from said state, especially when it is borne in mind that the congressman's faction controls the votes of Texas, while the other faction merely controls the party machinery and federal offices. The Wurzbach-Littleton faction believes in a Republican party that the "people" while the Creager-Nolte bloc holds tenaciously to the doctrine that the "Republican party in Texas must be a white man's party." If the Republican National Convention, through its party leaders, does not want to see its standard-bearer led as a lamb to the slaughter in November (if the Republican nominate Governor Alfred E. Smith at their Houston powow), they will twice think, twice, before seating all an-white delegation, as against a mixed delegation, from any purely Southern state; for black voters in several of the Northern states constitute the balance of the delegation, and agreed to back Al Smith, if the Republicans do not treat their Southern brothers right at the Kansas City convention. The Informer is still a stamina supporter of Herbert C. Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination, and it is not trying to change its political complexion or partisan affiliations; but this paper is merely giving expression to the sentiment of more than 150,000 Republicans in Texas, who have been distranchised, and more than 150,000 Republican leaders in Texas for the past eight or twelve years.

This candidate we want to the public and the opposition we met from the professional politicians, among whom was Mr. DePriest, and they were all on the Thompson-Crowe ticket, therefore we could not get him on that ticket either because he was a Republican or they did not want the 10th and 11th amendments enforced.
