NEGRO ALDERMAN BACKING HOOVER FOR PRESIDENCY Chicago, 111. — (ANP) — "Herbert Hoover will make the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln, the first president in a communication received at the Western Republican headquarters today. His whole support in this campaign is for Herbert Hoover for president of this, the greatest nation on earth. Alternate candidates will listen to the election listen to this from the mouth of Hoover: Equality of opportunity is the right foreign or native born, irrespective of faith or color. "The success or failure of this president from our government. Mr. Hoover stamped segregation from his department in Washington. He would tolerate Mississippi flood relief. I believe my race group ought to and will support with all their energy an American such as Business League Experts Conclude Louisville Work Louisville, KY —(A-P)—During the past week, Messrs. Bert Roddy, Weldon Bolten, J. H. Harmon, Weldon Bollent, J. H. Harmon, and the National Negro Business League, who have made a business survey of 28 other cities, have been here for the meeting. They closed their works last Sunday at a mass meeting held at the R. E. Jones Temple Church, the local business Men's Association. AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1928 The Informer is not suggesting that Chirman Work attempt to convert the Republican Party to the Democratic Party or probable), but this paper is unable to discuss where any objection could be raised by partisan leaders in Texas to the Colored Democrats' Division lending tangible and definite assistance to the colored Republicans of this state. The information provided will tell voting strength of the group at the election Tuesday, November 6, 1928. It was or is our understanding that the purpose of this organization is to give information to the colored Republicans in all sections of the country, being national both in scope and activity. Furthermore, if the Colored Democrats' Division does not have plenary power in such partisan situations, where their activity could not, by any stretch, be used to influence the race division, it is likely to know what functions the race division possesses and just what its real status is. THE RESPECTFUL POLICY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN TEXAS OF EXCLUDING AND OSTACRING THE THOUSANDS OF COLored VOTERS HAS THE OFFICIAL STAMP OF APPROVAL OF CANDIDATE HAWKINS AND OTHER NATIONAL PARTY LEADERS OF both the INFORMER and 100,000 OR MORE NEGOTIERS OF TEXAS WOULD LIKE TO BE SO INFORMED BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTOR. It is utterly fair and stipulation to sit lily by and expect the dissatisfied and disgruntled Hoover-Democrats to "carry" Texas for the Republican presidency. Hoover-Democrats are sitting the world that they are only supporting the Republican presidential candidate the least bit concerned in building up a Republican state, district or county. WHAT WILL THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL LEADERS, PARTICULARLY JOHN R. HAWKINS AND His COLored VOTERS' DIVISION DO ABOUT THE NECOG SITUATION IN TEXAS? WILL THEY SEEK TO BE INFORMED OF THE NECOG SITUATION GO BY DEFAULT OR LAND IN THE SMITH-RONNSON COLUMN?

Memorial services for the dead were held in the white and colored cemeteries of St. Mary's and St. O'clock Sunday—the most impressive ever witnessed by the thousands of tomb-men to the sight of the one large mound containing the hundreds of bodies of men, women, and children of the war-tainted chewers, wringing their tear-stained cheeks, wringing their entire families, or many, many more of their families had been taken. The audience of this scene fell upon the heart-reading. Thousands of people came into West Palm Beach to pay their respects to the heroes who gave up their lives in the turbulent water of the everglades, to the white cemetery and a part to the colored cemetery. City officials to the white cemetery and a part to the colored cemetery. The ceremony for the Negro victims was presided over by Dr. J. H. Thompson, assisted by the Rev. James C. McCarthy and Negro women placed wreaths of flowers upon the tombs of the unknown. It is generally felt that the most important building in Kelong City, the survivors from the storm there were, first, at housed in bus cars, but were never able to move. The shanties at Indian Lumber Company. In most instances the "shanties" were not built, but they were once closed and practically crushed, did not furnish them with work, and they have no funds to build the house. The water which in being used in the city is not in the house, has been instead to boil it, but, in many instances they have no facilities to shelter them. In Pleasant City, the people are be The Houston Informer Takes Pleasure in Announcing The Illustrated Feature Section Edited by George S.

Presiding Elders Push Campaign For Educational Funds Waco, Tec.—At a presiding elder's council of the eighth episcopal council of the African Methodist Church, which convened here last Thursday, over $10,000 was raised for the general fund of the church body. The Rt. Rev. W. Samson Brooks, presiding bishop over the general fund of the church, Slitting on the platform with Bishop Brooks, was given G. Young, with Bishop Brooks, a charismatic member of South Africa; Dr. A. S Jackson, commissioner of education of the city of South Africa; Dr. A. Bishnoi, member of Paul Quinn College. Both Bishnoi Young and Dr. Jackson smoke, a letter which asked that the local trustee board of Paul Quinn College trustee body accepted the resignation of Dr. A.

FIRST IN REAL NEWS—PAGE THREE TEST LEGALITY OF AGREEMENT AT WASHINGTON The brief recites that such white property owners covenants are condemned States, in that they seek to make the courts anathema what the Longevity Court tries to enact. The brief also points out that such covenants as the one that governs the servants of the house typically provide the white owner of any of the houses affected by it, to permit servants of the house to be his premises." The brief also raises the question who is to determine Negro blood or ancestry, and says: "In the potentiality of producing such a chatic condition as would tend to positive public misfortune and give also the possibility of this covenant to be enforced." Under what test is the color line to be used to determine Negro blood and the Caucasian begin? Does it mean that any person who has flowed Negro blood comes within the prohibitions of the covenant? Would Alex. Lewis have been included in the term "Negro" because one of their ancestors flowed Negro blood? How is the protected blood-taint to be acertained? Who shall determine when colored blood changes its color? CHILEANS ADMIRE UNCLE SAM'S JAZZ, SAYS VICE-CONSUL Washington, D. C.

South, crowded into Memorial Stadium last night to watch the Tigers battle the famous Tiger eleven from Tungkeen to a 7-6 score. Both teams exhibited a splendid brand of football, displaying aerial attacks and a kicking exhibition just about as amazing as any ever seen on a local field. A. and T. carried the ball deep in to Tungkeen's territory time after time, but penalties and fumbles when they were within scoring distance destroyed their hopes of showing across the field. A. and T. were somewhat brilliant kicking duel between Coleman, the A. and T. triple threat, and Stevenese, the Tungkeen star who downed the field. When actual play was played on the ball was found in their entire distance, the entire distance, but their heavy line and powerful secondary defense held the Tigers in the entire distance, when led by Lane, a smashing, tearing fullback, A. and T. that enabled them to emerge with a tie, the extra point going to them when the Tungkeen eleven was offside.

Swapland, famed as one of America's most successful execu- tives, has been a leader in business for 25 years. The president of a large business institution dealing with large numbers of people in matters of buying and selling had a good vantage point from which to observe the habits of individuals and the trends of groups and of organizations. He was able to determine certain terms when he made this statement: "If the present practice of dropping Negro workers and domestic employees in factories, hotels (and like places where the Negro once had almost a monopoly) continues and spreads, it will not take a prophet to tell what the near-at-hand crisis will be. It will be a much more difficult to make much occasion for alarm and hysteria as for an immediate awakening of our employed, a thorough self-examination, and the determination of a workable, sensible program to regain lost ground and more effectively defend the employment opportunities we yet hold. He says it is a two-sided problem, which must be uniting and uncompromisingly pursued for an early solution." and vantage point from ands of groups and of as prophetic in no un- present practice of feminine, harsh and opoply) continues and ar-at-hand crisis will there is not nearly so associate awakening of reparation of a work- re, effectually defend is a two-sided prob- Certainly self-examination will bring out the need and formulate the plan for the race to answer the argument as to whether America owes a debt of moral responsibility to the people of the community can afford to reduce any part of its body politic to economic poverty; and further whether the individual race member has the ability to sell power and raise power on the different plane (where a later generation has its being and its power to take control of the collective race members with consciousness and courage of their convictions and the power of organization to draw up their case in their own hands in the public opinion and market places of the world work and produce. Work and wages are the great giants of a people's survival and progress. When we favor the power they build you up into domestic welfare and community security, you will be able to achieve the goal to target the instrument which threatens to sever the爪 at its necromer end.

Banks, generally regarded as the best college administrator of the race in the South, has picked a very strong faculty, with per cent of the college faculty are graduate students and Western universities, eight (8) holding master degrees, five have supplemented their bachelor degrees with advance study, and approximately 80 teachers with seasonal experience.

Our Southern Democrats—those who are supporting the presidential candidacy of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York—are busy injecting the eternal "Negro issue" into the campaign, and are making base appeals to Dixie Democrats to oppose Nominee Herbert Hoover, Republican presidential nominee, because Mr. Hoover is alleged to have abolished racial segregation in his department at Washington, and because of the Republican party's reputed friendly attitude towards the Negro group. A group of Smith-Democrats held a political rally here a few nights ago and the newspaper accounts of the meeting recounted many interpreter speeches made by certain leading Democrats, touching upon "social equality" and the "Negro question." One speaker, in the heat of his oration, is reported to have said that he would much rather support and vote for a "black Republican" for any office in the country than to vote for any Negro-lowing white Republican;" that Secretary Hoover had Southern white women and girls taking dictations from Negro men, and that Mr. Hoover's election to the presidency would mean "social equality" throughout the republic. Another speaker is reported to have contended that they have as much right to inject the "Negro question" into the presidential campaign as the Republicans have to raise the "religious issue" against Governor Smith, who is a member of the Roman Catholic Church. One of the reasons the South has not only been predicated upon the Negro, but its maintenance and grip on the residents of the Souland is attributable wholly and solely to this fact. How can they consistently, honestly and conscientiously oppose Nominee Hoover because of the abolition of racial segregation in the United States Department of Commerce at the national capital on one hand, and then support Governor Smith on the other, proactive, proactive, and so are well known to every intelligent, reading American citizen. Notwithstanding the fact that the Dixie Democratic demagogues raise the ever-recurrent "Negro issue" every quadrennium, that party has been able to elect only two presidents since 1860, and a schism in the Republican ranks played an important part in making possible such political triumphs. The destiny of this nation should never be entrusted to a two-faced party for any person or party possessed with two factions all the elements of the party, all the big person or party; and the ship of state will certainly drift upon dangerous and destructive shoals with such a partisan pilot at its helm. While preaching themselves hoarse on Nominee Hoover, the Republican party, the "Negro issue" and "social equality." The Informer would like for these Dixie Democrats to give the cause of the Civil War a voice, and to explain plain who has been practicing "social equality" to make possible this shameful and shocking interracial condition, brought about (Signed) $125; single copy, 5c months) OCTOBER 13, 1928 EMENT, CIRCULATION OF AUGUST 24, 1911 weekly at Houston, Tex and county african, pe county knowledge and belief, a treatment, etc., of the HOUSTON INFOUNDATION and the Act Laws and Regulations. and business manager at publishing Co., Inc., Stocke W.

If Negroes are such "beats" and so unworthy of the same considerations accorded other American citizens, why it is next to impossible for a decent-looking colored girl or woman to appear on the streets of the average Southern city without being insulted, accosted or molested by some of our anti-Negro Dixie Democrats of Caucasian lineage? If the Negro is such a cause and pest as so many of our Dixie Democrats lead to believe, why do so many of these same Nordic Southern place Nergos in responsible positions in their homes and businesses? After all is said and done, the Negro the "issue" in the present presidential campaign, or must these Southern partisans resort to such prejudicial and inciting appeals in order to keep the "solid South" in the perennial, asinine role of voting blind and oppressive? With such pre-election propaganda, and with the "solid South" again in the national sledge in event of Governor Smith's and Senator Robinson's election, the plight of the American Negro will be something awful and direful; and The Informer urges that colored voters, both in Texas and other states, should not attend the 6, 1928, and bury the Democratic presidential ticket under such an avalanche of votes that its resurrection and revival will be a political impossibility. IS OSCAR DePRIEST "SCAPE GOAT?" The Chicago-Cooke County special grand jury, which has been making a full and thorough investigation of alleged crime, graft and vice in the Windy City, has returned true bills against two candidates in the city. Mr. DePriest, Republican candidate for congress, succeeding the late Congressman Martin B. Madden, and Daniel M. Jackson, recently named to the Illinois Commerce Commission and recognized Republican leader in the South Side "black belt" of Chicago. Of course, the Informer can not sit in judgement in these cases, but many are already saying that the indictment against Mr. DePriest is a political trick to defeat him in his race for congress; or in the event he is elected, to so stigmatize him that his congressional seat will be contested, with the probability that the post will be denied him. If does not seem possible that Nominee DePriest can clear himself in no position before election day, for it is doubtful if the hearing can be held before the general election, and thus he will face the election under a cloud of suspicion and with a criminal charge hanging over his head. The life of the race politician in 'America, to say the least, seems to be of few days and full of trouble; and while his paper is in no position to deny or affirm the guilt of Mr. DePriest, Jackson, it is to be regretted that events have taken a course. Mr. DePriest states that he is being offered up as a "scap goat," and that he is suffering the same fate which has befallen colored Republican leaders in the South. He states further that he is innocent of the charges and that he has been guilty of his innocence and expose the plot to destroy his political career. SHREVEPORT MAYOR ON DEFENSIVE! According to newspaper reports emanating from Shreveport, La., during the September session of the National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated, the mayor of that city, in publicly welcoming the emancipated "migrants," referred to the race several times in his speech as "niggers." The colored press of the country "played up" the mayor's constant use of this insulting term, and now "his honor" writes to Rev. Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and one of the leaders of his denomination, he used such a word, and charging that the colored papers misquoted and misrepresented him in reporting his welcome address. Whether the Shreveport mayor addressed the convention as "niggers" or not (and anything is likely to happen or be said in that Louisiana city), the Informer reports it as a very healthy city. He also mentions that the city will openly state that he did not insult a colored body, or employ any term at which the constituents of the convention could reasonably take offense. Once more the power of the Negro press is proven in forcing this Southern mayor to enter a disclaimer, and ask that denominational leaders be taught to light regarding his speech. However if the Shreveport mayor designation (and the record proves that he did say "niggers") he would show himself a much bigger man by making an apology rather than by issuing an official general disclaimer after the reaction to the alleged insult has set in, and the city and its white citizens have received national disregue and unfavorable public While criticising our white neighbors for referring to our race as "niggers," it strikes The Informer that we should also discontinue this practice among ourselves; for it is foolish to get peeved at us and to address us by the same appellation we use so much among our neighbors. Self-respect, whether individual, racial or national, like charity, must begin at home and then spread abroad; and, while this paper holds no brief for any Southern mayor or white citizen who would so offend and insult a colored gathering as to use the word "niggers" in the line, "boon," there is much room for improvement along the line, "intra-racially and inter-racially"—and we don't mean perhaps.

The convention focused the attention of the world on the Houston lynching, which was the name suggests the Houston convention; every mention of the Houston lynching was made in the lynching. Because of the fact that the Houston convention is the best defense lynching and the best defense spoken and determined in their effort to bring the victims to justice, the atlantic citizens and the world at large have been inclined to withhold a chance to make good. They have got our number now—they have already learned how to handle hypocrites.

The appalling number of Negroes who have been elected to the legislature has number of friendless whites since the installation of the electric chair in Texas, is conservative proof of this failure. We serve a service time in the penitentiary where others go scot-free. Our officers and the Negro represents the direction of the least resistance. No one promises immunity for confessions that the most dangerous lynchers are not always members of the bloodline. We teach the class which makes our complexion the sole excuse for withholding the right that we are entitled to an tax-payee. These people lynch our manhood, our self-respect, our spirit, and every soul. And long as our law-makers, law-interpreters and law-enforcers practice their crime, be nothing surprising about the attitude of the citizens at large. It is only natural that they should follow These conditions will not change until our status as citizens is changed.
