PARAMOUNT QUESTIONS BEFORE COMMITTEE The Building Up of the Republican Party in Southern States And Equitable And Effectual Representation in Convention of Republican Thought Throughout the Country Were The Dominating Motives, According to Secretary Miller, Which Determined the Committee's Decision. (By The Associated Negro Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C., June 23.—"In the action taken by the National Committee, the color line or the disfranchisement of the Negroes is not involved." So declares Clarence B. Miller in a special and exclusive statement for The Associated Negro Press. Mr. Miller is Secretary of the Republican National Committee. Because of the nation-wide interest in the subject of the reduction of representation in the National Conventions, Mr. Miller was asked to express his views on the recent action. His complete statement follows: "To the Associated Negro Press: "I am delighted to comply with your request for a statement presenting the reasons for the change of representation in the National Convention and the practical operation of the rule adopted as related to that portion of the country commonly called the South. the upbuilding of the Republican party in every congressional district in the South that cannot comply with these requirements and if every district does come out and comply, the Southern vote will be very much increased. "Rule Very Liberal." "We made the rule very liberal. If the vote for Mr. Harding in a district amounted to 2500, then that district has representation anyhow. We went further than this, however. I in the election of 1921, a Congressional district delivers a vote of 2500, I will have a satisfactory arrangement. It will not only formulate and in a sense require the upbuilding of the Republican party in all sections of the South, but will bring out the Republican vote and quite completely change any conditions we now consider unfortunate. "The only way the principles that "The first proposition, I desire to state, is the one I make most emphatic of all. In the action taken by the National Committee, the color line or the disfranchisement of Negroes is not involved. In other words, the action taken had nothing to do with the right of the Negro to vote. We were dealing purely with the question of representation in the National Convention and at the same time endeavoring to formulate rules that would be helpful in building up a Republican party in the South. We assume that wherever qualified the Negro ought to vote and will vote. "The purpose of the Committee was two-fold. First, to re-distribute representation in the National Convention so as to more effectively represent the Republican thought and the Republican party in the country. The National Convention names the party's candidates and adopts the party's policy. It should be as nearly representative as possible, thus effectuating the, spirit of American institutions. For this reason, states that gave their electoral votes to the Republican party are given two additional delegates to the National Convention. That is an advantage and gain to them." "It has been proposed that each Congressional district casting 30,000 Republican votes should have an additional delegate. In our judgment this would give too great a preponderance to the North and would make the convention too large. We compromised on giving each state that goes Republican two delegates. Equitable Distribution. "We effectuated a more equitable distribution of delegates in the South by increasing the number in certain southern states, leaving it the same in some and decreasing it slightly in others. Thus the states of Arkansas, Florida, Virginia and Tennessee are given an increased number of delegates. That is, these states are to have more power in national conventions under the new system than they had in the last. Two states, Alabama, and North Carolina, are not changed. They will have the same number of delegates under the new as under the present system. The states of Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas have their representation in the National Convention slightly reduced. The purpose of this is to increase the representation wherever the Republican vote increases and decrease it, if the Republican vote falls off. This is both logical and fair. Under the system that was adopted there is no chance of any southern state having less than is here outlined and it may have more in the next and succeeding conventions. It will have more if the Republican vote increases as it should. "Third. I desire to present my views respecting the operation of that part of the new rule which gives representation in the National Convention only to the Congressional district having a Republican vote of 2500. This is not done to penalize the South, but it is done to require SLOGAN: the upbuilding of the Republican party in every congressional district in the South that cannot comply with these requirements and if every district does come out and comply, the Southern vote will be very much increased. "Rule Very Liberal." "We made the rule very liberal. If the vote for Mr. Harding in a district amounted to 2500, then that district has representation anyhow. We went further than this, however. If in the election of 1921, a Congressional district delivers a vote of 2500, it will have a satisfactory arrangement. It will not only formulate and in a sense require the upbuilding of the Republican party in all sections of the South, but will bring out the Republican vote and quite completely change any conditions we now consider unfortunate. "The only way the principles that actuated the Republican party in its great national achievements can be made effective in the South is for the growth there of a Republican party. If a Republican party can be built up, then those things we have always believed in as best for our country will be effectuated. "Personally, I regret there is even a temporary reduction in the Southern representation because, as I have stated many times, I want the South to have the strongest kind of a republican party, but I firmly believe the events of the next two or three years will justify my faith that the Republican party in the South will become more active, build up their party organizations, run candidates for office and change the South from being solidly Democratic to a condition in which the two great parties will fight for supremacy and the right to work for the common welfare.

ANDERSON Mr. President, Officers, Members and Friends of the Negro Baptist Sunday School Convention of Nebraska. Ladies and Gentlemen While assembled in this our third annual convention on this 18th day of May 1921, A. D., in the Zion Baptist Church, was the guest speaker. As pastor, as your humble servant we come before you with this our third annual message bringing gregories, yes, tiding messages to our congregation, yes, tidying midst of the swiftly changing scenes of life is indeed a great privilege and joy to meet and greet each other here tonight. We are grateful to you for your upward march to Eternity has carried with her millions of the human family including many more righteous than we have. We are grateful to you and His hand beneath us and has brought us safely to this another milestone in our WC. We take a retrospective view of our Sunday School Convention work from its birth, April 9th, 1918, up to this present day. We have expressed our God has abundantly blessed and prospered our work. And I wish to here personally express my thanks and gratitude to our congregation for the success of our endeavors for the Master's cause in helping to make this S. S. Convention a medium through which we can reach out to the unseen and I believe by your presence in these Sessions and the expression of confidence in the every other phase of our life work. We have determined to the world that though we have encountered many difficult problems in this and in every other phase of our life work we have determined to the greatest opportunity we are yet determined by the aid of God who has trounced over every adversary and year to confront us, that we may have and enjoy every malleable right and privilege we have and trusted to us by the laws governing our THE BLAKE country. Wow. I say providential promises I refer to those eternal gifts of God to all men. I say providential promises I refer to those eternal gifts of God to all men. In keeping with the new era the Political or Government regimes of the world have come in for their share of responsibility in questions of World Peace, World Disarmament, Foreign emigration, Southern migration, International migration, and many other internal problems which are too numerous to mention. We we as a single people have shared our public burdens during the past Democratic administration at a very dear price, we are elated to have been given the new era for us in that it promises us a better conditions, a larger representation, a public platform which stated that Congress must consider the most effective means to end lynching in this country and our American civilization. Backed by the following statement by I. I believe the federal Government should end lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America, and, 2.-That the constitution contemplates no class, and that people with specific recognition for none. While all these laying are encouraging no stone unturned in seeking to permanently secure every right and opportunity that may come to us by appointment or ballot, politically. Social and Economic Like the mushroom that sprouts up over the hills of the United States, this problem has developed like the mole bill to a mountain in the mind of the people in the past few years and the many methods used by unfair press and journalist, business professionals, bolderist, laborers, selfish politicians at the expense of the people in the past few years and the many methods used by power and power which I believe is the very foundation of the vicious and destructible element of the population that is managing the country today Our Negro Press, daily, weekly and monthly which numbers more than 10 in the 1960s contributed race men, has shown a marked progress in the past year in matter, manner, and in management in defending the race and in exposing rank propaganda, and injustices against the race, within and without. Our ministerial, professional, fraternal and business organizations have also conceived and have done have done much to educate and elevate the race nationally, and should have our ministers to race advancement. Religion In conclusion, having refreshed your minds regarding the general condition of airways in the world today from a tenure in the United States, before rise us like a great panorama tonight. What must we do, a Baptist, to help ourselves, our denomination, our race, and the world out of this great dilemma of sin and unrighteousness, to establish humanity on a higher foundation of Christianity and Civilization in the great world? In answer I here submit the following statements for your careful and prayerful consideration: ourselves, individually, we must seek to consistently emulate the Christ life as given to us though Jesus, we can exercise it in our community, instruction, and speaking; because we are at this time greatly in need of these people, we can demonstrate it in the spirit of service and sacrifice to all mankind. 2nd to help our denomination we must launch a Religious campaign of unity, education, and community instruction, and speaking; because we are at this time greatly in need of these people, we can demonstrate it in the spirit of our success, in carrying out our great commission. 3rd-To help our race, we must seek to attain spirit of confidence, loyalty, and co-operation among our people from a business standpoint which is so essential to the welfare of the race, and so conspicuous by its absence, the past. To help our race we must reinforce the work of Evangelization and to reinforce the new world movement, the people that will stand, the race that would conquer must submit and commit themselves to God and his righteousness. In approaching this great question, we would have you realize that it is the great challenge that we must face, much concern among the leading nations of today, who would effect leagues and treaties of peace and democracy to help None have, thought it well to accept and present Christ, the wonderful, the counselor, the Prince of peace, the nancuees, the missionary, the missionary for the world present day problems. If we would help tore-establish humanity on u higher foundation of Christian civilization we must unite to adopt and adhere ourselves to the mission of life, enunciated by God, through the grace of Christ, the world fact that our faith, loyalty, and devotion are real and earnest, by diligently fulfilling that great commission, we must be called to Gospel to every creature, he that believeth and is baptised to be saved, he that believeth not shall be damn, because he that believeth, who said "And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me, I am with you always even unto the end of the world. The Christian trumpet is here and that we as Baptists may well congratulate ourselves upon the great mission of Christ, thehood of Man, and to assist in promoting international friendship of all the People FUTURE OF AMERICAN NEGRO TO BE DISCUSSED IN DETROIT Governor Groesbeck of Michigan to Welcome Twelfth Annual Conference of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Which Anticipates a Record-Breaking Attendance.

Nutter of New Jersey Voices Sentiment of East and Hueston of Missouri That of the West. Race in North Must Stand Unitedly Back of Race in South. Rights of Citizenship Must be Preserved For All. (By The Associated Negro Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C., June 25.—Daily newspaper comments, special writers, Congressmen, Senators and "everyday citizens," besides the press of the Race, have filled the air on the subject of the adopted report of the Republican National Committee. There has been great interest concerning the attitude of northern colored voters. The Associated Negro Press invited two leading citizens from two different sections of the country where "colored votes count," to express their views on the subject. Statements come from Attorney Isaac H. Nutter, Atlantic City, N. J. and Attorney William C. Hueston, of Kansas City, Mo., and Gary Indiana. "It if it is thought that colored representation in the national convention will be cut down by parallyizing the South, colored voters of the North should place candidates in the field for delegates, and even for members of Congress, in those districts where the votes are the balance of power. "We must have it distinctly understood that in citizenship rights we are each for all and all for each." Hueston Speaks For West Attorney Hueston says: "The National Republican Committee in session at Washington, June 8th, gives absolute proof, that the Republican party can no longer be depended upon as the bulwark which stands between the American Negroes and Nutter Speaks for East Attorney Nutter says: "In my opinion, the Republican National Committee made a tremendous tactical mistake in cutting down southern representation in the Republican National Convention. Is smacks of 'Lily White' tedencies, and impresses me as being an ungrateful attitude for the loyalty that we have given to party welfare in the face of overwhelming odds. This move is particularly distasteful in the face of Congress being painfully silent on boasted disfranchisement in the South. There seems to me to be but one course left, and that is for the colored Republicans of the North to stand solidly for the interests of the colored citizens of the South, and to make our ballots count among those whom we know will give us a square deal, and against those whose action proves that they will not.

Miller, secretary of the National Republican committee, are ingenuous but by no means satisfying or convincing as to innocency of intention of eliminating the colored brother of the South from the Republican party. Mr. Miller's statement might be taken at face value, were it not for the fact that already a call has been issued for reorganization of the party in Georgia "under complete white leadership." Invitations have been sent to one hundred picked individuals, many of whom are prominent business men, who have not been actively identified with the Republican party in Georgia to meet in the assembly room of one of the leading hotels of Atlanta Saturday, July 9, to effect this reorganization. This information comes from James A. Holloman, special Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution. Mark you, this is to be wholly under white leadership, and yet Mr. Miller emphatically protests that the question of the "color line" did not in any way enter into or determine the decision of the committee; but that they were actuated by the desire to build up the Republican party in the South. The "Lily Whies" have insisted that if the Negro were eliminated from the party in the South, it would insure "the building up of the Republican party in the South." Oh, no, far be it from us to suggest that any thought of "the color line" entered into the decision albeit plans were making during the sessions of the National Republican Committee to reorganize the party under white leadership in Georgia one of the states whose representation was most radically reduced, upon the ground that only a small Republican Committee is an abject and state. The committee knows well well reason for this. Colored Americans who are overwhelmingly Republican and have been pathetically loyal to the Republican party are not allowed to vote. Mr. Miller says the question of disfranchisement of Negroes is not involved in this decision. If it is not, what is? Try to disguise it though they may the action of the National Republican Committee is an abect and unconditional surrender to Lily-white Caesarism. It is nothing less than the political betrayal and sacrifice of the Southern black man who out of a sense of gratitude to the Republican party for his freedom and enfranchisement has been loyal to that party, despite the jeopardy to happiness life and property in which that loyalty has placed him. Instead, therefore, of protecting him in his political rights and rewarding him for his fealty by the enforcement of the Constitution, the Republican party, by the action of its most powerful committee, in this crucial period has been guilty of base ingratitude, unmitigated cowardice and has wanted betrayed and deserted him, foolishly believing that his brethren in the North and West lack the manhood to resent such perfidy. Since a Republican Congress has proven too cowardly to enforce or even attempt to enforce the provisions of the 14th and 15th amendments, the Republican National Committee stoops to the perfidy of confirming disfranchisement by a most transparent subterfuge. Some one has called this a "tactical mistake," a well-chosen euphoria indeed for an anterior motive which is quite obvious. The Monitor names it arrant cowardice and conscienceless betrayal of a loyal constituency, so transparently hypocritical that it cannot fail to open the eyes of all thoughtful Send for Tulsa Riot Victims Monitor's Tulsa Relief Fund are the fact that our people have the lot of town subscriptions were re- Duluth and St. Paul, Minn., and is great.

Nay,'more, the Monitor is read in foreign countries. During its six years it has been read by some one in nearly every part of the habitable globe. We have had the privilege during these years of speaking to hundreds of thousands of people. This has been a privilege and responsibility. We feel both keenly. Editing and publishing a paper is laborious and hard work and the financial returns scant. We have the consciousness of having striven to do our best to give our people a good clean, well-edited newspaper. We are grateful to subscribers and advertisers for the support given. We will begin our seventh volume with our next issue with the desire to improve upon the years that have gone relying upon our patrons for their confidence and support. VISIT HIGH SCHOOL CADET ENCAMPMENT Many Parents and Friends go to Camp Bundy on Visitors' Day..... Good Showing Made by all Cadets Chambers Wins Third Place in Competitive Drill. Quite a number of our people visited the High School cadet encampment at Camp Bundy, Valley, Neb., Friday and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Their presence gave pleasure to our boys who are members of the cadet battalion. The camp was spik and span. The day was ideal. The battalion numbering 360 cadets made a splendid showing due to the diligent work of the popular lieutenant colonel, George Smith, and his corps of efficient officers who determined that the battalion and the camp this year should be "the best ever." The cadets caught the spirit of their officers and cheerfully responded to the demands made upon them. The results were a well-drilled battalion and an almost perfect encampment. In the company competitive drills Company E, Harry Haynes, Captain, won the cup. In battalion competitive drill, the first battalion headed by Major Edgerly won the cup. The national colors and school banner go to Company E. In individual competitive drill Corporals Keyes and Aulbach, took first and second place respectively, and Sergeant William Chambers captured the third place medal. It was gratifying to note how well represented were our own boys in all that went on, considering their numbers. James T. Lewis, captain and commissary was on the regimental staff, and it made our folk feet mighty proud to see him there. Sergeant William Chambers of Company B, considered the best drilled man in the battalion, stood up well in the competitive drill, and looked like a winner for first place when an error retired him, much to the chagrin of his captain, Walter Metcalfe, who banked on him as sure winner. Chas. Ennis was in the band. Ledrue Galloway in Company A; Floyd Maxey in Company B; George Goff, Weldon Solomon, Jesse Simmons and Worthington Williams in Company D.

It is written in the Good Book, with which some of you are more or less familiar, that some “people love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.” The merchants and business men and the gener- al public who use this thoroughfare do not want to be placed in this class. Turn on the light. The Monitor urges its readers who want improvements in the district bounded by Cuming and Lake, Twentieth and Thirtieth Street to get busy in making their wishes known to our new commission- ers who are anxious to do anything the citizens want with- in reason, New lights on Twenty-fourth street, paved streets in this territory and a publie play ground on the “old Circus Grounds” ave improvements within reason and within reach. The Monitor is boosting for these improve- ments. Citizens, wake up, jar loose and get busy. echt maa a i a ir aN «a ae at : C. W. of A. Dept.
