Hold Separate Meeting. NOMINATE A RAGE MAN FOR GOVERNOR Contesting Delegation, Not In, structured, Elected To Chica. go Convention. Little Rock, Ark.—The expected lock-out of the colored delegation by the Republicans in convention here yesterday occurred. The delegates were denied seats by the credentials committee and were later defeated on the floor of the Convention. The colored delegation held a separate convention and not only elected delegates to the national convention but nominated a colored man, J. M. Blount, principal of the public school at Helena, to be a candidate for Governor. The colored delegates were not instructed on presidential favorites. No candidates were mentioned in the speeches that were made and no effort was made to secure an endorsement for any one. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors for the kindness shown us during the last illness and death of our dear wife and mother, Mrs. Laura McClelland.

Mr. George Tandy, and daughter, of Crider, Ky., attended the marriage Sunday of the former's niece, Mrs. Margie Tandy. --- LABOR SQUARELY BEHIND GENERAL WOOD Chicago Unionist Says He Offers One Need of Employer and Employee—Justice. In an editorial entitled "General Wood and Labor's Need," the Chicago Unionist comments on the result of the primaries in Cook county, and Chicago as follows: "Lining up the presidential possibilities side by side, and considering what each has to offer labor, we believe that General Wood's tribute to our cause will be labor's one need—justice. We want nothing more, and most emphatically nothing less." Speaking of the strikes in Chicago, which caused him to abandon his speech-making tour in the eastern states to return here, General Wood said: "This country is going to be run by Americans, cost what it may. No class legislation, either of wealth, labor, or power, but a real democracy and a spirit of co-operation and helpfulness, is the need." Yes, General Wood, you have put your finger on the pulse of the situation. Labor is menaced by foes from within. You are right in protesting against class legislation. Labor wants no legislation giving it a balance of power, but inborn does want legislation giving it its rights; nothing more; nothing less. Labor desires no legislation of class. Labor wants no legislation of wealth. Labor wants no legislation of power, and above all, labor wants no legislation of inborn. Labor wants justice; justice to itself; justice to capital; justice to every combination of citizenry that goes to make our great American nation. Labor will be satisfied with justice, and when justice is meted out her, the undercurrent of unrest will be calmed; but not before. So, General Wood, more power to you. Your dictum against class legislation, whether of wealth, or of labor, or of power, does credit to you, because it is what every American citizen wants—justice for all, and special privileges for none. WOOD FAR AHEAD IN PRIMARY VOTE. William Cooper Proctor, chairman of the Leonard Wood national campaign committee, gave out the following statement relative to the Nebraska returns: Nebraska was a natural victory for Johnson, as so many distinct elements were co-operating in his favor, while the other vote was divided in the ratio of about 60 to 40 between Wood and General Pershing. In Nebraska as always where there has been any test of popular approval of Wood's candidacy, he has run first or second, yielding first place to Johnson only in Michigan and Nebraska, where he was a close second, defeating all other candidates. But the New Jersey and Ohio primaries are coming next Tuesday and Indiana on the following Tuesday, where there will be a different verdict. The primary vote was: Minnesota—Wood, 12,627; Johnson, 8,517; Hoover, 4,481; Lowden, 3,540. South Dakota—Wood, 29,362; Lowden, 25,791; Johnson, 23,594; Poindexter, 960. Michigan—Johnson, 127,253; Wood, 83,747; Lowden, 46,107; Hoover, 41,544. Wisconsin—La Follette, 7,389; Wood, 2,156; Hoover, 1,612; Johnson, 912; Lowden, 323. (All names written in.) Illinois—Lowden. 222,982; Wood. 158,101. Johanson. 45,583. Nebraska—Johnson. 24,416; Wood. 18,805; Pershing. 12,521. This is a wonderful demonstration of the nation-wide interest and earnest approval of the American people in favor of Wood's candidacy. In all parts of the country, in all sorts of places, among all sorts of people, his candidacy is strong and this showing will mean his final indorsement in June at the Chicago convention. SAME ALWAYS TO FRIENDS. Capt. Edward Barlow, who knew Leonard Wood as a boy, has given Eric Fisher Wood, his biographer, many anecdotes of the general's life. He said: "No matter how elevated he gets, he never changes toward his old friends. I didn't seen him for a good many years after he left here. Twenty years later I moved to Brooklyn on account of being master of a ship sailing out of New York." Baltimore After Colored Police and Firemen Baltimore, Md., April 20. Colored citizens here have taken up the fight for Colored police and firemen. There are 175 vacancies on the police force and it is the first time in the history of the city that colored people are sending men into the examinations. Circulator of Crisis Is Thrown In Jail Jackson, Miss.,—Because he represented the Crisis Magazine, published in New York, E. R. Franklin has been has been sentenced in Holmes County, this state, to six months' imprisonment and and fined $400. The case arose out of an editorial in the January issue of the paper, in which the whites here stated that it demanded "too many rights for the Negroes, and would only serve to swell their heads." Jack Johnson In Mexico Defies World Lighters Calexico, Cal.,-Jack Johnson, ex-world's heavy weight champion arrived at Mexicali, Mexico, across the border from here, yesterday, accompanied by his wife, nephew and wife's maid. He will fight an exhibition here Sunday and will then issue a defi to the world's fighters and Jack Dempsey in particular. Despite press canards Johnson has never returned to America soil, but has a passport. It is doubtful if he will ever return. We Are Surprised We are surprised to find a certain teacher foremost in stirring up strife in a community among Baptists by using his influence in factional fights against persons who have done them no harm, but on the other hand were institutional in assisting them to their present position. The editor never has thrown a rock and hid his hand and will not do so now, but will use our influence against any man or set of men who will come in this community and disturb the peace of the Bap. family or who tries to create a revolt. Teachers like preachers, being servants of all the people should not try to incur the ill will of the very humblest patron. I have tried to hold my peace, but if it becomes necessary for me to strike I can do so and will strike hard. I am for my people; when I see men who profess to be leaders creating a division in the ranks for personal gain pure and simple. More anon. A man who is ignorant, and who knows not but thinks he knows and who has never been used to any thing will undertake anything once if he has to be unharnassed himself. What is he, you know? Well What Do You Think Of Thi? NEW York, N. Y.-Because a white man of American temperament visited an amusement park in London recently and saw colored and white people together, he wrote to an English newspaper demanding a law to prevent colored men from wearing flannel pants and to prevent white women from admiring them. Negro World. Do a Little Thinking The churches that are sound in the faith of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will do well not to listen to the Rev. Dr. Olive, who is an hireland for the Interchurch movement who seeks to bribe them into his new association for the purpose of taking them into that great Inter-church movement. Don't allow yourselves to be hoodwinked into that "clap-trap." Be strong in the spirit and power this might, not to be easily moved by such men who allow themselves to be used to tear asunder the Baptists of this country. Use a little common one horse sense and think some for yourself. If you would stop a minute and think you could see that Olive is not interested in your welfare, to the extent that he will pay money out of his own pocket in visiting the churches but it is to his own interest he is looking after. He said, he could lead all of the ministers and churches into the fold without money and without price. He has been here more than 5 years. Why has he not manifested some of his great interest in the churches and young ministers before this late hour? Because he had no axe to grind until now. He has been offered a big paying job if he can break up the Baptists in Southern Illinois. He and his co-harts have already caused much discension in the Baptist churches of the district, by having neighbors and friends to iall out over the association and almost split asunder: The devil is never so happy as when he can have his emisaries carry out his plans. Centralia, Ill. The K. of P's. had their annual Thanksgiving services Sunday at the 2nd Baptist church. The Mt. Vernon Lodge turned out with the Centralia lodge and the affair will be long remembered. The courts of our city and Mt. Vernon alo attended the services. Rev. Mr. Thomas, of Mt. Vernon, preabched the sermon and also at night. We hope he will visit us again. The Mt. Vernon choir furnished excellent music which made the program interesting. Among the distinguished gnesfs were A. D. Campbell, master o ceremonies. Rev. Burrell, of Indianapolis, Ind., D. H. Young, Revs. W. H. Carter, Wm. Anderson, T. D. Huff, and Prof. Singleton. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY MAY 12 1920 GAZET EY MAY." SINGLE COPY POLI IAN FOR G GREAT IN HIS PENMANSHIP Leonard Wood Puts Himself in Class With Horace Greeley and Napoleon. Leonard Wood's penmanship is his weakest point, but in that he has as prototypes, Horace Greeley, Napoleon and many other illustrious leaders. Olive Newcome Hartt, who was his stenographer at Governor's Island, writes: "During the winter of 1916-1917 General Wood was travelling here and there speaking in behalf of preparedness. It was part of Captain Johnson's duties—Captain Johnson being an aide to the general—to keep in touch with his itinerary. One day the captain came into the office, and picking up the general's memorandum pad, scrawled in perplexity at the words scrawled across the page in the general's inimitable handwriting. The general watched him quietly for a few moments, then said: "What's wrong? Fire away." "That was his usual signal that he was ready to listen to what one had to say. "Er—excuse me, general,' said Captain Johnson, hesitatingly, 'but, but—I don't quite understand the memorandum. This reads "Here for lunch" while my slave says you are not in town tomorrow—and I don't quite understand—that is, I've made no plans for lunch for tomorrow." "Let me see it, said the general. "He glanced quickly at the notation on the pad, and then said disgustedly: "That doesn't say anything about "Here for lunch." It reads "Leave for Ithaca." " WOOD LEADS IN LITERARY DIGEST Leonard Wood Is More Than 9,000 Votes Ahead of Nearest Competitor. In its attempt to learn the composite choice of the union for nomination for president, the Literary Digest or the week of April 24 publishes the second installment of its presidential poll of 11,000,000 voters. The returns include 149,604 votes. Leonard Wood continues to hold a big lead. Wood has 32,351; Hoover, 22,908; Johnson, 22,009; Harding, 10,432; Hughes, 5,922; Lowden, 6,449; Taft, 3,400. Among the Democrats, Edwards gets 7,568; McAdoo, 6,740; Wilson, 6,491; Cox, 5,649; Bryan, 3,885. Hoover receives a Democratic vote of 9,974 which is larger than the Democratic vote cast for any avowed Democrat. McAdoo has the first place in the declared Democratic vote with 5,613 and Wilson is second with 5,342. The vote continues to come mainly from Ohio, New York, New Jersey, California, Texas and Washington. New York Leans Ever Woudward New York, April 24.—Although the people of Ohio will actually vote for the selection of only 48 delegates to the Chicago convention at the polls on April 27, the result of their bailout will materially influence SS delegates from New York state at nomination time. A poll of the Empire state's SS delegates, elected on April 6, shows that they are for the strongest candidate with a leaning toward General Wood because he is in the lead. The remarkable showing General Wood made in Illinois against Governor Lowden has boosted his stock with the SS New Yorkers and they are now watching Ohio. If General Wood makes as good a showing against Senator Harding in Ohio as he did against Governor Lowden, this fact will practically insure the vote of the New York delegation for him. John J. Lyons, a leading New York delegate elected to go to Chicago, said: "Two things are certain about the New York delegation: First, it is not for Senator Johnson, because all the Johnson, pledged candidates for delegates were beaten by three to one or worse in the recent primary election; second, it is going to vote for the man who is nominated. At present it looks like Wood is going to be nominated, for he has split the delegation in one favorite son's state and it looks like he has a chance to split another favorite son's native state's delegation. If he does the New York delegation will regard him as the man most likely to get the nomination and will support him after a complimentary first ballot for Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. A SLAYER OF GIRL TO BE ELECTROCUTED. Indianapolis, Ind, April 30. William Ray, colored, 19 years old was sentenced to be electrocuted August 5 at the Indiana State Prison, Michigan City, by Judge James A. Collins of the Criminal Court here, when a jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. Ray is said to have stabbed to death 14-year old Martha Huff, a white girl, on April 19.

We pity that soul whose religion will not bind him sufficiently strong enough to enable him to rise above his evil companions sufficiently high and long enough to allow his light, (life) to shine forth to illuminate the pathway of some poor sinner that will lead him into that path that shines more and more until the perfect day We have several good preachers that are idle that would make good pastors if they were given a chance. Every church large or small should have a pastor, and carry out the great commission of Jesus. Ye should be doers of his word and not hearers only. Heed this message and herald it to the lost and benighted world. Every church door in Southern Illinois should be thrown open at least twice every Sunday that the gospel might be preached to every creature. Let none hear you idly saying there is nothing you can do while the souls of men are dying all around you without any hope for the future life and happiness. Any church needing a good pastor and a splendid preacher. a man of high ideals and broad vision, we can recommend Rev. Jno. Bruen, of Mt.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL THE FEDERAL MARSHALS THE BOYS ARE FOR HIM. These lads of the Hutchinson high school. Buffalo, N. Y., don't believe Leonard Wood is a militarist. They are all Americans, too! THE CITY OF BOSTON General Wood learns from his farmer admirers just how they look to him to help them. THE FEDERAL CONFERENCE LEONARD WOOD VISITS THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. Photo shows Leonard Wood being greeted by a committee of students following his address to the student body at the University of Michigan. L. Stevenson, one of the students, is shaking hands with the candidate for the Republican nomination. STRICT ON PUNCTUALITY Leonard Wood's Rebuke Was More Dreaded Than a Ducking in Ferry Slip. "Leonard Wood's ideas about punctuality are very strict—especially for subordinates," writes Clive Newcome Hart, who was his personal stenographer at Governor's island for a month. "I remember one morning I missed the Governor's island boat at the barge office, and as these boats only run every 15 minutes, I was late in reporting at the office. I was deeply chagrimed when the general, in his quiet way, suggested I might make the boat if I started a little earlier, I resolved not to be late again. "However, the next morning I arrived at the slip just as the boat was putting out, but I made a running leap and landed on deck all right. The corporal in charge of the boat rushed over and shouted in my car: "You'd better not try that again unless you want to land in the water. "I didn't mind being called down by a corporal half as much as I objected to the quiet rebuke of the general; and, as I told the corporal, landing in the cold water wouldn't be any more of a shock than the icy reception I might get if I landed at the office late two mornings in succession." WOOD CALLS FOR THRIFT Demands That Nation's Expenses Shall Be Put Back on a Prewar Basis. Leonard Wood, who cancelled his Eastern tour on account of the railroad strike, called attention in Boston to the tremendous expenditures being incurred by the government and asked that the nation get back to a pre-war basis of economy and thrift. "We have been spending money during the war with both hands like drunken sailors," he said. "The time has come to out all unnecessary expenditures and get down to bedrock conditions. We want to speak of our congress again as a million- dollar congress and not us a billion-dollar congress. The burden of taxation is weighing heavily upon us. We must spread the war burden over a longer period of years. We must take the strangle hold of the excess profits and other war taxes off the throat of American business and American initiative." WOOD FIRST IN LESLIE'S. New York, April. —Norman J. Gould and Thomas W. Miller, Eastern managers for Leonard Wood's campaign for the Republican nomination, received from Theodore Wood, associate editor of Leslie's Weekly, the result of a nation-wide poll that publication has taken. The result follows: General Wood, 2,374; Senator Johnson, 752; Governor Lowden, 204; Senator Poindexter, 172; Senator Harding, 88; Herbert Hoover, 104; General Pershing, 53; Governor Coolidge, 56; Senator Borah, 68. President Wilson, William McAdoo, Charles E. Hughes, William Taft, Ole Hanson also received some votes. NEWSIE KING FOR WOOD. Cincinnati, April ..Jimmy Widneyer, "king of the newsboys," has joined the active working forces of Leonard Wood and is in close touch with the Wood presidential headquarters in the Johnston building. His news stand is opposite. Widneyer has placed a sign on the stand calling for volunteers to join the Wood hosts in Ohio. Underneath the stand he has placed a basketball of Wood buttons, out of which all passersby are invited to help themselves. TAKES EXERCISE OFTEN. "General Wood is a strong believer in the benefits of physical culture," writes Clive Newcome Hartt, who was his personal stenographer at Governor's island for a month. "At intervals during the day he will relieve the tedium of sitting still by standing before the open window, drawing deep breaths, and going through East St. Louis Gazette The Metropolis Gazette Publishing Co., has Established a Branch Office Fast St. Louis, Ill., where a Job Office will be operated under competent management.

To the Women's General Missionary Baptist Association of Illinois auxiliary to Gen'l. Missionary Baptist State Association. Greeting: Dear Co-workers, I am writing this to remind you that our Annual meeting is right at hand, just about one month off. We trust that every Missionary Baptist in the State has an eye single to that meeting, for the purpose of making it the best in the history of our Association. It has been a prosperous Association from the very start as proved by its rapid growth up to our last annual meeting. Certtinly there is no cause for a falling away or anything this year to hinder; yes, we can all make many excuses of the very hard winter, of sicknees, and distress, but let us forget the things behind us and look forward to May 26, 27 192c, the event of the General State Association. Let us look and work for a great meeting, not forgetting any of the departments of our work. I had a very encouraging letter from Sister Hooper saying the women of Chicago, were planning for a great meeting in Murphysboro, in May, and I trust all the Circles are doing the same. Come praying that the good Spirit may abide with us and we may accomplish much good. I am humbly your servant, Mrs. Bettie Wilkerson President. Adversity and Prosperity.
