TWO DELEGATIONS MEET COOLIDGE COLORED VOTERS' LEAGUE HOLDS IMPORTANT LINCOLN DAY MEETING TO HEAR POLITICAL CANDIDATES COLORED VOTERS' LEAGUE HOLDS IMPORTANT LINCOLN DAY MEETING TO HEAR POLITICAL CANDIDATES Attorney Tom Sullivan Is Foremost Speaker on Program Held at Memorial Baptist Church Tuesday Evening—Commissioners Wenzel and Clancy Present. The Colored Voters' League of St. Paul held a Lincoln Memorial at Memorial Baptist Church, Rice and Fuller streets, Tuesday evening to one of the most enthusiastic audiences ever assembled for a like purpose. The occasion was of a political nature, in fact, as many candidates from the Non-Partisan party were invited to be speakers of the evening. This division from the general memorial feature was well received by the audience as many were anxious to hear what the labor leaders and Non-Partisan factors had to say. Some of the best known labor men in the state were invited to be present and showed their interest by attending in a body. Among the labor and Non-Partisan guests were Commissioners Wenzel and Clancy and Tom Sullivan of Minneapolis. Other speakers were Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist church, Mr. Hendricks of the "Coolidge for President" Club and Attorney Glesner Fowler of Minneapolis.

Shannon, president of the Voters' League, made a splendid talk as to the purpose of the organization before introducing the speakers. Rev. Harris was the first speaker of the evening and dwelled at length on the fairness and justice that should be accorded all men, regardless of race, color or creed. Following Rev. Harris was Mr. Hendricks, who eulogized Abraham Lincoln. Commissioner Wenzel bitterly scored the "old guard" for injudicious practices concerning public government. Commissioner Wenzel was well received. The main speaker of the program was Tom Sullivan, who gave vent to his feeling on the present form of municipal government, the lynch law, economic conditions and specifically stated that the battles of the Negro must be in common with those of the working man. The speaker received an enthusiastic reception. Resolutions Passed. At this time Attorney Orlando Smith, secretary of the Voters' League, was introduced and read a resolution to be submitted to Senators Shipstead and Johnson concerning their supporting the Dyer Bill. The resolution was adopted as read. Attorney Glenner Fowler of Minneapolis was well applauded on his remarks concerning the correct application of the ballot. Following the remarks of Attorney Fowler, Attorney Frank Haskell, candidate for municipal judge, was introduced to the audience. Several members of the labor and Non-Partisan assembly were presented in a body, after which the Colored Voters' League insignals were distributed through the audience. The next meeting of the league will be announced later. The meeting Tuesday evening was well attended and much interest was displayed in the platform of the new parties.

BULLETIN-APPEAL WOMEN'S CLUB FEDERATION MID-WINTER SESSION Pioneer Hall Is Scene of Midwinter Session of Federated Clubs. The parlors of Pioneer Hall, 588 Rondo street, were filled with prominent club women and friends who gathered to observe the nineteenth anniversary and Mid-winter session of the Minnesota State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs Friday morning, February 8. Convening at 11 o'clock, business of importance was transacted by the executive board, presided over by the state president, Mrs. Susan B. Evans of Duluth. The board adjourned at 1 o'clock to partake of a delicious three-course luncheon prepared by Mrs. Minnie Archer, who was ably assisted by a corps of efficient workers. The tables were tastefully arranged and decorated with the federation colors, gold and white, with nineteen lighted candles of the same hues. A large birthday cake graced the center of the table. Welcome Address. After luncheon nearly one hundred women representatives from the twenty-three federated clubs were seated in the spacious parlors when the president called the meeting to order. Mrs. Jessie L. Williams of Duluth, chairman of press and publicity committee, led the devotionals with Mrs. Gladys Harris at the plano. Extending a hearty welcome to the assemblage, Mrs. Evans began as follows: We extend to all present on this our nineteenth anniversary our heartiest greetings, yet while we meet to celebrate the founding of our beloved organization and pay a tribute of honor and love to the able foresighted women who knew that in union there is strength, we are ever mindful of the fact that we have a splendid opportunity to serve humanity, therefore we take advantage once a year to come together in counsel gathering renewed inspiration from the exchange of ideas and reports of delegates. Our foundation is not for today nor tomorrow, but for the ages and the late Mrs. Ione Gibbs and Mrs. Lyles, who were the founders, have not labored in vain. Let us resolve to do greater things. Learning the great value of co-operation and uniting our forces together to attain the objectives are the two ideals of the progressive women's clubs of today. If we expect to give knowledge we must first have it. If we expect to lead, let us live clean, upright lives. Defend our federation whenever assailed and emphasize the fact that we are part of a great movement to uplift humanity. These strong sentiments were deeply impressed on her listeners.

Hudson is Freed Of Crime Charge The trials and tribulations attendant with being charged with highway robbery that temporarily erased the seemingly perpetual smiles of Lloyd Hudson, 3020 20th avenue south, who is more commonly known as "Dick," have ended. Hudson was recently arrested and tried for robbery of three taxi cab drivers. Friends attempted to have him released on bond and his ball was boosted from $20,-000 to $60,000, hence Dick had to stay behind the bars. Attorney Robert Cowling defended Hudson so vigorously at the trial that he was acquitted of one of the charges and the other indictments against him were dropped. So "Dick" Hudson is smiling again for more than one reason. Jack Dunn, manager of the Marine professional football team, sent him his contract for 1924 season and Dick intends to play baseball with the Indianapolis A. B. C's. Elderly Mother Of Post Office Clerk Dies Here Elderly Mother Of Post Office Clerk Dies Here Mrs. Harriet Murphy, beloved mother of James Murphy and Mrs. Louise Reed, was called home to rest from all earthly labor Monday, January 28, at 11:15 P. M. Although 39 years of age, she was very active and possessed of all her faculties. Just before her last illness she recalled the time when railroads, electricity and telephone were unknown. Mrs. Murphy was born near Glasgow, Ky. May 31, 1831, and was the daughter of Reuben and Nancy Wallace. Her parents had obtained their freedom shortly before her birth, therefore she was termed free-born. Settled in Illinois. At the age of 15, deceased was married to Richard Murphy, who had also been freed by his master. Deciding to establish a home, they journeyed North, where conditions were different and traveled by the "prarie schooner" to Warren County, Illinois, five miles southeast of Monmouth. They immediately purchased and paid for ninety acres of land upon which they lived over fifty years. To this union were born sixteen children, seven of whom are living. Burial in Monmouth. Brief services were held over the remains at Simpson and Wills Chapel where a number of friends paid their last respects. Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist church officiated. Handsome floral offerings surrounded the casket. Her son James accompanied the body to Monmouth, Ill., where interment took place in the family plot Thursday, January 31. Mrs. Murphy was a great Christian character and acquired a large circle of friends during her residence in St. Paul. Five sons and daughters mourn the passing. Rev. Murphy, Denver, Colo.; Augustus Murphy, Kalamazoo, Mich.; Richard Murphy, Canada; Warren Murphy, Monmouth, Ill.; James Murphy, St. Paul; Mrs. Nancy Hayes, Chicago, Ill., and Mrs. Louise Reed of St. Paul. Five generations also survive. A. E. R. NATHANIEL DETT NATHANIEL DETT TO APPEAR HERE MONDAY EVENING Famous Composer-Pianist Will Give Recital at Peoples R. Nathaniel Dett, renown Composer-Pianist, will appear Monday evening, February 18, at Peoples church in one of the best musical treats ever witnessed in the Twin Cities. This modern day composer possesses something unusual in the realms of music, something indefinable to the masses, but recognized by the masters of his profession as musical genius. In every city where Mr. Dett has appeared his renditions have been of such that critics, if even biased, were forced to acknowledge him an artist of note. Many of the nation's foremost critics have announced his ability through the press. To Give Masterpieces. Mr. Dett will render some of the masterpieces that have made him famous in his Monday night appearance in St. Paul. "Juba" is a rare treat in itself and after viewing the program numbers, one scarcely knows how to estimate the value of his presentation to the lovers of music. In speaking of Mr. Dett, when it became known that he had accepted the musical directorship at Hampton Institute, Mr. Frederick H. Marten said in the Musical Monitor: "It might be said that the coming of R. Nathaniel Dett to Hampton as director of music at that institution has marked a new epoch in its musical development." It goes without saying that Mr. Dett's appearance in the Twin Cities is extremely notable. If any one should miss this musical feast Monday evening they shall have lost an opportunity many desire to have. Mr. Dett appears under the auspices of the Everywoman Progressive Council. THE HONOR OF HIS RACE The following poem was inspired by the Press reports of the thoughts of John Trice, the Negro football star of Iowa State College, on the day of the game in which he lost his life, taken from "His Creed." No loftier or braver creed has ever been propounded, Than when this football star from Ames, his thoughts of life compounded, And lofty thought like he expressed, will races closer blind, Peckless bravery, To gain the Honor for his State, his College's Victory, And so if he had lived we think, the same thoughts would prevail, An Honor to his State, and Race, he'd have been without fail. —H. F. Rosing. Public Is Urged to Take Time to Register; then Use the Ballot Rightly What have you done about registering? With the increased political activities it is highly necessary that every loyal citizen exercise the power of the ballot and such cannot be done unless we register now and vote when the time comes. The various places for the convenience of the voters have been made available by the city and in order to carry on municipal work properly the citizens must interest themselves in city government. If registering and voting means good citizenship, then it behoves every person to register early and be a good and useful citizen. IF YOU HAVE NOT REGISTERED, DO SO IMMEDIATELY. Battle Royal is Staged Sunday Willie Weeks, Charles Spille and a Mr. Williams, who is better known as "Turkey Breast," were participants in a Grand Battle Royal at Sixth and Lyndale avenue north Sunday. Weeks and "Turkey Breast" engaged in a nice battle for the possession of a two-barreled Derringer pistol. The pistol was discharged, knocking the sole off "Turkey Breast's" shoe. Mr. Spille, a bystander, in the meantime attempted to stop the two anti-Volsteadors from fighting and he got a few licks for his trouble. "Turkey Breast" forced Weeks to give up his gun by biting his nose. Results: A night in jail; lecture by the judge; free air again; friends again. Candidates For Mayor Number Three Increase Candidates For Mayor Number Three Increase Mayor Nelson Still Holding Three to One Lead Over Opposition for Office. A great impetus was given the mayoralty race with the official announcement Tuesday that George L. Seigel would enter as a candidate on the labor ticket. The second bomb of the week developed Wednesday when it was officially announced that Mike J. Carr, former commissioner, would become an independent candidate. The outside parties are devising every possible means of defeating the present mayor in his campaign for re-election. However, the mayor seems to encounter no difficulty in maintaining his lead established by splendid executive work during his regime. Mayor Nelson's backers expect to put him over in great style, despite his present opposition. This is conceded by many authorities on the coming election. Four in Race. Two proposed candidates for mayor passed the fifty mark in nominating petitions Wednesday at the office of the city clerk. They were George L. Siegel, indorsed by labor, and Mike Carr, county commissioner, now in California on a political mission. Mayor Nelson still leads all mayoralty candidates in nominating petitions by more than three to one. Signers for Carr were recruited from the office of Sheriff Wagener, other county offices and friends scattered over the city. These filings were in response to several telegrams received in St. Paul Wednesday and Tuesday from J. E. McMahon and Sheriff Wagener, who accompanied Carr on his Western journey. George E. W. Nelson, reported mayoralty candidate, proved Wednesday that he is really a candidate for the council when thirty-seven signers appeared to file his name for the council while his total in the mayoralty race remained at five. Many labor men appeared at the city clerk's office Wednesday to sign petitions for all of labor's candidates for city officer. Mr. O. H. Locke, Kanaas City, Kan., has been the guest of Mrs. O. C. Locke, 864 St. Anthony avenue. TWO ASSOCIATIONS PRESENT PLEA OF HOUSTON MARTYRS TO PRES. COOLIDGE; CLEMENCY IS ASKED James Weldon Johnson and William Monroe Trotter Present Petitions From N. A. A. C. P. and Equal Rights League Bearing Over 120,000 Names. Washington, D. C.—Stirring developments followed closely upon the joint race soldiers' pardon hearing conducted before President Coolidge by the N. A. A. C. P. and the National Equal Rights League with their respective delegations, J. Weldon Johnson, secretary, making the statement for the former delegation of fifteen and Wm. Monroe Trotter, secretary, the statement for the league delegation. At the audience President Coolidge stated that he favored clemency and would order an investigation made to ascertain whether the facts would permit of his pardoning all or part of the men. He said he always gave a colored person the benefit of the doubt and hoped the facts would warrant his granting pardons, though realizing the affray was a terrible affair. He was politically free-handed as the action was under a different part administration. NEW INSURANCE. CO. LAUNCHES STOCK CAMPAIGN Capitalization of $150,000 Given to West Va. Corporation of Race Men. Charleston, W. Va.—The Union Insurance Company, the newest venture promoted by business and professional men of the race in the state, has leased offices at 306 Morris street, and is now launching a campaign for new policy holders. The company is capitalized for $150,000 and has $55,000 paid up capital stock on deposit, the amount required by the state in order, to do sick and accident business. The company was licensed on January 3 by the insurance commissioner of the state. The president of the company is Mr. James J. Price, who has had over 18 years' experience in the insurance business. Mr. Price came to the state a little over a year ago from Ohio a total stranger, and to have gained the confidence and support of the splendid men now behind him in the company, and to have succeeded in getting such a big company qualified under the rigid insurance laws of West Virginia in so short a time is in itself a remarkable achievement. Other officers and members of the board are: Vice-president, Attorney J. H. Love of Montgomery, W. Va.; secretary, J. A. Thompson, Charleston, W. Va.; treasurer, J. E. Clark, Charleston, W. Va.; legal adviser, Attorney J. M. Ellis, Oak Hill, W. Va.; H. B. Hunley, Mt. Hope, W. Va.; B. B. Waynesboro, Beards Fork, W. Va.; Christopher Campbell, Charleston, W. Va., and Rev. Smoot of Williamson, W. Va. This is the first insurance company promoted by race men ever incorporated and qualified under the rigid insurance laws of West Virginia, and ought to do a fine business among the 100,000 Negroes in this state. The company has written over 1,000 policies since it received license from the insurance commissioner on Jan. 3 and the outlook is exceedingly bright. CHURCH ITEMS Border M. E. There will be a grand entertainment given under the auspices of the Willing Workers' Club and the Ladies' Aid at Border M. E. Church on February 21 and 22.

Also it was announced that Secretary Weeks has made it plain that the attitude of the War Department is that the convicted soldiers should be granted clemency. This removes the only possible block to at least partial pardons. Mr. Johnson presented a petition of 120,000 signatures. With him were S. S. Booker of Md., N. D. Brasher of Ill., A. P. Randolph of N. Y., A. H. Grimke of D. C., Mrs. G. Pelham of D. C., J. E. Mitchell of Mc., Robert S. Abbott of Ill., Rev. C. H. Tobias of N. Y., Robert L. Vann of Pa., Carl Murphy of Md., C. V.

Mr. Johnson asked pardons because of excellent records in army, local provocation, heavy punishment meted out, exemplary conduct as prisoners. Mr. Trotter presented petitions and resolutions adopted by the league and branches and by other race bodies from Mass. to California, letters from congressmen to the President, acknowledgments from the White House and War Secretary, and a set of petitions by elected officials of Mass., federal and national, headed by Senator Lodge, U. S. Senate leader, by 5 Mass. Congressmen, members of Governor's Council, and of Mass. Senate and House, signed "On representation men had never been found guilty of disloyalty, cowardice, treason, or breach of prison rules." With him for the Equal Rights League were Dr. Julia H. Coleman, vice-president; J. L. Nelll, recording secretary; M. W. Spencer, treasurer, all of Washington, and Wm. H. Fields of Mo., representing Pres. T. J. Moppins. Last Friday the Equal Rights League sent President Coolidge a letter of thanks for his sympathy with the pardon pleas and his prompt starting of a re-investigation of the cases, enclosing resolutions from the Peoples Baptist Church of Boston and a letter from the Attorney General of Mass.

To commemorate the occasion the Republican Party of Ramsey County held its annual banquet at the St. Paul Hotel. This banquet committee, following the traditional lineage of the ancestral Republican party, invited many Race Republican leaders who once stood pat in their support of the "old guard." Avers were made that it would result incompatible to judicious reasoning to presuppose our group to drop their Republican inclinations and follow any other platform other than that based upon the "Res Publica" theory. Nevertheless this banquet witnessed the presence of less than 10 per cent of the usual delegation of the Republican faction of our group. Knowing the accustomed attendance, it naturally became obvious to inquire as to why the meager representation. That question can be easily answered. The rank and file of previously strong party men have awakened to the fact that the label Republican fails to carry with it the guarantee of purity for the product. They have caught the fever of dissatisfaction that is gradually innoculating our group of voters. They have felt the keenness of discriminate adversity. They have called for fulfillment of platform promises only to be put off or ignored. Such has been the experience for years and the continuation of perfidy can be augmented only if the stand-pat Republicans of our group give their support continuously. The warning sounded by some authorities to the effect that the voting strength of our group of genuine party supporters might be centered in another direction, was unheeded by the Grand Old Party. The effectiveness of national dissatisfaction may be viewed in character, as synonimous to the laxity of interest displayed in the "party" by those of this section who have always supported it. How long has it taken the thinking voter to learn that the Republican party of today is not the one of Lincoln's time? It may have been years; yet it may have been months; no matter how long the time consumed, the "party" has awakened to the fact that the voters of our group must receive more than promises. We do not place the Republican party on a higher plane than any other political faction. It is the calibre of man that makes his party a reality or a phantom. Possibly we can fare no better in supporting another group, but we could not fare much worse. The failure to attend the Lincoln banquet needs no explanation to either the committee in charge or the non-interested former party supporter. The facts are an assimilation of a multiplicity of opinions mingled with observation of fallacy and perfidious relationship measured out to the Negro voter by his "best friend"—The Grand Old Party.

Some few months ago one of our leading Twin Cities churches threw open its arms in welcome to a new minister. The usual crowd and spirit of co-operation was prevalent to witness and hear his initial sermon. The minister proved to be one of those unusual frank, honest, clean-cut, fearless and God-like men. That type of man the atheist must respect. So strongly did he preach the truth that many thought he was talking directly to them. But he substantiated his assertions with Biblical proof. Then some of those who should have been giving their support to this good Shepherd as he watched delightfully over his assigned flock, began conviving among themselves as to how they might impede the progress of their own institution. They found him humanly faultless, yet they sought to convict him. They recognized his consistency as a remarkable possession, still they opposed him. The seed he had sown in a few weeks in a few hearts had grown to a bountiful harvest. Those who appreciate a Godly minister are unanimous in their opinion that no greater minister had ever come into the community than this one. Why cannot our church pillars be satisfied with a Godly teaching? Why must intrigue be carried within the sacred domain of religion? The church is the world's greatest institution. Its preservation is dependent largely upon the sanctity of its members. Can the outside world be saved by a good and just man when his lieutenants seek to dethrown him before the very eyes of those he seeks to save? The fact is that this minister was too God-like for some of his own congregation. He dared tell them of their faults and accepted no bribe to prevent his carrying out the work for which he was ordained. He sought the greater things in life and held up the religion he preached six days in the week as well as the seventh one. The world needs such ministers. We decry the worth of any man, whether he be the pillar of the church or just a humble sexton whose professed belief is not strong enough to make him listed to the truth. Few of our ministers are strong enough to dare speak the truth on all occasions, and when we discover one vested with those qualities that are sterling, let petty individual prestige be supplanted by a desire to perfect love, faith and duty; then support a man called to lead the people from darkness into light.

WILLIAMS STEPS OUT (Chicago Whip) Lacy Kirk Williams, titular head of the four million Baptists of our race, has seen the wisdom of the church adopting a militant policy. Dr. Williams, who is a recognized theologian, philosopher and sociologist, realizes that the church must aid in shaping the economic and political destinies of the black people in this land, and his advanced humanitarian policies will contribute immeasurably to the advancement of his people. This paper has long recognized and respected the power of the church in the community, it has long appreciated the influence that it maintained upon the actions of men and it has long wondered why the church has hesitated and procrastinated upon the vital and inescapable problems which confronted men when they left the sacred walls of their worshiping places. The determination of Dr. Williams to aid in the securing to the people of his race their rights and privileges is deserving of the highest commendation. It marks the dawning of new day in the affairs of black folks. Our system of politics played a most important part in check-mating the work of the church. Local politicians have made it possible for our districts and communities to become the seething cauldron of vice and infamy. They have caused minds to decay, souls to stultify and men to perish. They have shunted young women and men from straight and narrow paths of righteousness into the line of least resistance—"the easiest way." They have militated toward keeping us wage slaves and dupes for unholy systems. The entrance of Dr. Williams upon the scene in Chicago means that four million Christians will soon challenge intelligently the unmitigated privileges of our former decelivers to corrupt our dwelling places and exploit our votes. It is an established fact that our politics are nothing but a reflection of our economics and, up to the present time, our churchmen have been woefully and inexcusably ignorant upon this broad phase of our life. The migration of the black people to the North has awakened to some extent to the great sense of responsibility that rests upon the church in aiding us to honestly earn our daily bread. The churchmen have paid little attention to the clash between capital and labor and have been little concerned with the influence of both of them upon the creation and enforcement of laws. It has not concerned them which element put men in office and shaped their policies, and few are familiar with the experiments of Lenin and Trotsky. They have preached and prayed while their congregations sang "Give Me That Old-Time Religion." Dr. Williams has realized that it lies within the purview, the province and the power of the church to create a renaissance among the black people of this nation. It is hoped that the many other alert and Christian ministers among our people will follow in the train of Dr. Williams. This newspaper feels that men will work intelligently, save intelligently, vote intelligently and worship their God without hypocrisy when the church ventures out upon the broad arena to grapple with the cohorts of Satan. Mrs. Rosa Lee Myers, accompanied by her daughter Lorraine, left Thursday for Charleston, S. C., to visit her mother and relatives. Mr. W. H. McCoy, Sr., of Winnipeg, Canada, is expected to arrive in the city about the 18th for a visit with his family. Regular Saving Pays Watch Your Account Grow THE STATE SAVINGS BANK 93 E.

Some for relief from service give their self, but he gives most who freely gives himself." Other Speakers. A cordial greeting was again extended to the ladies by Mrs. Mae Black Mason, first vice-president, who also said that the federation had much to be thankful for, and much to be hopeful for on their nineteenth anniversary. Mrs. Jos. Bryan gave a brief outline of the work in Minneapolis, and promised a strong representation next year. The meeting was greatly honored by the presence of Mrs. J. E. Rounds, president of the Minnesota State Federation. Keep up-to-date, progress along with the children, was her advice. The most important issue before the women is registration, prepare to use the ballot and keep the right men in office were the keynotes in her speech. Mr. Olsen, city clerk of registration, was present and urged the women to take advantage of the numerous registration booths and avoid the congestion at the last moment. A classic selection on the piano rendered by Mrs. Harriet Bell Smith was warmly received. Mrs. Bryan then introduced Mr. Elmer Carter, secretary of the Urban League, who sponge on the qualification of the Negro. Given a chance along with educational advantages the Negro will demonstrate to the world his ability in every angle, said Mr. Carter. Our women must familiarize themselves with the present bills in Congress aside from the Dyer Bill. The Smith-Towner Act with the proper amendment and a uniform divorce bill are of great importance and must be given serious consideration. His splendid message received tremendous applause. Session Ends. A community song led by Mrs. Mae Black Mason followed. Mrs. Rounds was accorded a rising vote of thanks by the ladies for her excellent remarks.

Union hall has been secured for this event. Thomas Nichols Is Laid to Rest On entering the room of Mr. Thomas Nichols Sunday evening, Mr. Oliver Taylor found him lying dead in his bed. Dr. J.
