THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER VOLUME XI. Visits Oklahoma in a Private Car Accompanied by Leading Citizens—Delivers Addresses to Great Crowds in all of the Principal Cities. The colored citizens of Oklahoma, because of restrictive measures and discriminatory legislation, have been making an organized effort to protect themselves from the enactment of that element in the state who are apparently opposed to the progress of the Negro citizens. An organization headed by Ilon. E T. Barber, of El Keno and others secured the services of Registrar Vernon who was met by a party of distinguished Oklahomaans at Caldwell, Kas., in a private car, secured for the accommodation of the entire party. This aroused the interest of all Oklahoma and from the beginning of the journey across the state and back again, the Registrar and party were given an ovation. At Hennessy, it was necessary for Mr. Vernon to respond to the call for a rear end speech, and as the train pulled out the cheers from the multitude was almost deafening Finally El Reno was reached and a large crowd of citizens, white and black met them at the train. The school children sang and marched to the strains of inspiring music to the place of meeting. That night the opera house was filled with people of both race. Representative citizens headed by the Mayor of El Reno occupied prominent seats in the audience. Register Vernon was entertained at the home of Lawyer Butler and a delightful collation was served to the party including President Inman E Page, of Langston University, W. H. Jarnagin and others. Next day found the party on the road to Kingfisher where after a royal reception all repaired to the court house where federal office holders and other leading citizens were eager to hear Mr. Vernon. Hon. E O Tyler, distinguished attorney of this place was the presiding genius on this occasion. Here Mr. Vernon delivered a speech to the business men and faiming element, so largely represented among our people From here the party proceeded to Guthrie, the state capital, and were met at the station by thousands and headed by the Langston University band, they were led through the streets of Guthrie where a great mass of surging humanity gave the Sunflower orator, stateman, diplomat and leader an ovation that will go down in the history of the new state as one of the most touring ever accorded a visitor in these parts. At night the leading play house was filled from pit to dome with the best citizens of the capital city. Here the Registrar made a magnificent speech dwelling upon the necessity of giving equal rights to all citizens regardless of race or color. It was an honour, a right, forward, manly appeal for fair play for his people. The speech was enthusiastically received and frequently punctuated with rounds of applause. After the speaking the special car TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 12, 1969. They then journeyed to Oklahoma City, the metropolis of the state. That night thousands were present to hear Mr. Vernon, who specially encouraged the people of new state to remain in Oklahoma despite the discouragements at the time. He graphically portrayed the future Oklahoma and told the pioneers that the hardships would soon be at an end and that peace, happiness and plenty for which they had suffered everything but death would be a reality. The great meeting at Convention Hall was followed by a banquet which was tendered the entire party. The private car was then transferred to the "Koty" track and proceeded to Muskogee, the haven for Negroes in the new state. Here they were met by Hon. A. G. W. Sango and a committee of prominent citizens who conducted the party to the place of meeting. Sango's Opera House was filled to overflowing that evening and it is said by those present that Mr. Vernon surpassed all previous efforts. The gentlemen in the party accompanied Mr. Vernon as far as Parous, Kau., returning to their homes in the new state while he journeyed on to visit the school at Qundaro and also to be present at the Lincoln Memorial exercises at Topeka, the capital of his state. The entire trip was made without a hitch. felt that the white people of prominence and the colored people will be enabled to reach a better understanding as a result of his speech. Oklahoma is a state of wonderful possibilities and Negroes of progressive spirit have gathered here. It is unanimously agreed that the great ovation tendered Mr. Vernon throughout the state is but in keeping with the things for which he stands together with his intelligence intellect and recognized ability and Oklahoma is indebted to him for his services.
