(By R. L. C. Barrot in Richmond, Va. News Leader.) LOUISA, VA. Nov. 1.—Within a circle with Richmond as a center and having a radius of 100 miles, lies the bulk of the absolutely dependable Democratic vote of Virginia. In this section, since the adoption of the present state constitution there is hardly a county which has at any election failed to return a clear cut Democratic majority, during the last few days I have traveled a good deal in the counties within this circle, and in some just on the outside. I find that they are still Democratic and will give large majorities for Trinkle, although in all of them the Republicans have made small gains among the white people since the nomination of Anderson. But those gains will be more than offset by the loss of the Negro vote due to the action of the Norton convention, excluding the Negro from its deliberations. NEGROES BACKING MITCHELL Since I have been on the present tour of the state I have made an especial effort to find out what is the attitude of the Negro voter as to the tickets in the field, whether its ingrained habits of party regularity would lead him to vote for Anderson, whether his desire for concequence would cause him to vote or Trinkle and thus crushingly defeat the "illy white" ticket, or whether a new race consciousness would lead him to the "spot" of John Mitchell, Jr., Negro candidate or governor. It has not been easy to obtain his information, as the average Negro does not care to discuss policies with a white man, but from that I can gather the Mitchell ticket will get the bulk of the Negro vote, have not before use the figures as to the Negro vote of last year, but Democratic campaign speaker has echeated that Pollard, Negro candidate for the United States Senate called 19,000 votes. On this basis there should be approximately 20,000 Negro votes cast his year and of these some 15,000 should go for Mitchell. Practically all of the remainder will go for Anderson. Whatever grievance he may have against the Republican party, the average Negro is not yet in the good to vote for the Democratic ticket and Senator Trinkle will get the votes of only such few Negroes have been Democrats for the past nirtz or forty years. I talked today in Louisa with one of the most intelligent Negroes I have ever known. He has always been the friend of the white man and his business is entirely support- by white trade. But like practically all other Negroes he has consistently voted the Republican ticket RESENTMENT AT G. O. P. Discussing the present situation, said: "The Negro is bewildered by the current situation in the political situation in Virginia. We have been costily out of the Republican party for an time we have been at a what to do. We would not have been so much disturbed over action of the Northeast convention it were not for the fact that everything it indicates that the expulsion the Negro from the party led the provol of the national administration, in back those is much to be held the expulsion that the whole plan is betrayed at Washington. I do not believe that Congressman Shloe would have taken the position that has unless he was assumed that was in record with the wishes of resident harding. "The Negro feels that he has been stated very badly by the Republican city. I intend to vote for the teethel ticket and all of my friend will vote the same way. It may be at some of the old-time Negroes, in the cities, will vote for the person, because they do not understand the situation, but news, the quevine's travels is mighty fast among Negroes and there will be few them who will not know the first election day." ME NEGROES FOR ANDER When I was in Petersburg a few years ago I was told that nearly all the Negro voters would cast their lots for the Mitchell ticket, motion as to Orange was to the ne effect. The principal Neerder in Orange county was a member of the convention which needed Mitchell. It was only in Fauquier that ard of Negroes who intended to be the Anderson ticket. Democrats were charging that Anderson supporters had registered a number of groves and they were declaring that this was at least not being opposed by Gilbankt Twigg, Republican nominee for corporation commissioner, who is a resident of Faququier, Faququier is not a "black belt" county but figures recently published show that it has 421 registered Negro voters. These same statistics give Louisia 299 registered Negro votes and Orange, 459. The registrar of the principal precinct of Louisia county tells me that he has not registered a Negro this year and that the Negroes here are not taking much interest in the coming election. In the election of 1947 Louisia cast 574 votes for LaVie, Democrat, and only 57 for T. Wuney, Republican candidate for governor. Last fall the county gave Cox 684 and Harding 212. It is not believed that Anderson will receive quite as many votes as were cast for Harding. + (2) + (1) + (1) GREET CITIZENS MASS MEETING AT MOORE STREET CHURCH Colored Republican Candidates Will Deliver Addresses Sunday Night.

Negro Race: Pelow members of our race, I am going to appeal to you and your manhood on a vital question; one that I hope will be read and given due consideration by You—as it is for you—to either be for your self or the other fellow. Now then at the State Republican Convention at Norfolk in July, our race was read out of the party; and as they say "eliminated" from future participants in the Council of the Party. This party I am introducing to you as the "Lily Whites." They have been unfair and unjust to us, not that we have been unjustified, not because we were irregular in voting the Republican ticket. But because we are NEGROES. Since time immemorial our race has been in the Southland, the backbone of the Republican Party. The Party that has been our friend in days and years after the Civil War, but in recent years has been our manipulators to their own profit. For this we have Regular Ticket CITY OF RICHMOND. Election Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1921. FOR GOVERNOR, JOHN MITCHELL, JR., of Richmond City. FOR LIECTENANT GOVERNOR, TREIDORE NASH, of Fortsmouth City. FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL, J. THOMAS NEWSOME, of Newport News. FOR SECRETARY OF THE F. V. EACHUS, of Lynchburg. FOR STATE TREASURER, THOMAS E. JACKSON, of Stanton. FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, MAGGIE L. WALKER, of Richmond City. FOR COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE AND IMMIGRATION, ARTHUR T. BRICKHOUSE, of Northampton. FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES, B. H. BEVERLEY J. H. BLACKWELL, JR. D. A. FERGUSON C. B. GILPTN MAUD E. MUNDIN not received consideration that was useful to us either individually or collectively. Our foremost brethren of color have accepted the issue as brief down by the "fly whites," the eliminators of our participation in the Republican Party and in September, called a Convention in the city of Richmond. This Convention nominated a full ticket of men of color as follows: For Governor John Mitchell, Jr., Lt. Gov., Theodore Nash, Attorney General, J. T. Nawseme, Treasurer, T. E. Jackson, Sec. of Commonwealth, F. V. Bacchus, Squit of Public Instruction, Mr. Mangue L. Walker, Commissioner of Agriculture; A. T. Brickhouse; Corporation Commissioner, vacant. These persons are Republicans of the old, trust worthy type that are Negroes, and the Negroes friend. Are you going to support them in the Nov. 3rd election? (Yes.) First, because it is many to do so and thereby an insult. Second, because when, one set of ungrateful politicians kick you out of the back door of their meetings and conventions and announce to the world, "that we have eliminated the Negro from our Party Council and the Party will grow." It is necessary for a people to strike back with all the force that is in us, through our batot. November 8, 1921 and to show our resentment to such treatment; or, will you accept the unmany part and give your full strength, your one vote, to Hon. Henry W. Anderson and show to the people of the State, that we are satisfied with what "Marse Chias" lands us? Forbid such to happen, while yet we call ourselves men and women. In war, we have as a race, womens laurels and victories. In peace we must keep the same stance. Be a man. Be a woman. NOW. Vote the full ticket laid down by our 一 Convention and scratch every "lily white" Republican very deep, for double crossing us. We cannot win in this election, but we can at least show our backbone—and tight back, win respect and prestige. No Compromise is the word. Who among us is willing to be tabooed as a coward? Coyards we will be it; we vote for a single "Lily White." We can at least show that we are more marty, more womanly and more American than the political exchangers at Norfolk. Vote for the John Mitchell ticket and show your grit. Vote for Col. Anderson and display your joy at being treated as a nothing and that you are satisfied with such treatment. What are you going to do? "I am going to vote for John Mitchell" and his ticket. "If you have any number of warranties show it on November 9, 1924." Vote early and mark your ticket upstairs. Let the cohorts of race prejudice and injustice know that we have at least awarded. Let us survive or perish. November 9th, United we stand, dthd of the laughing stock of the world. Let's give them the laugh. Record your protest if you are a Negro, Swah the insult and you show that you are perfectly satisfied with your lot. Let us hear from you 100 per cent strong on November 8. Earnestly yours, FRED W. NEWMAN, Ste. Harrisonburg, Va., Oct. 25, 1991 This is a text extracted from a document. Dr. T. J. King Will Preach at the Blesser Baptist Church. Rev. T. J. King, D.

O. P. CANDIDATE" Col. Henry W. Anderson says he is neither a Democrat nor a Republican, yet he allowed his name to go before the G. O. P. convention at Nortok. It Col. Anderson is not a Republican, was it not strange that he delivered the keynote speech at said convention? If he *not* a Republican, why did he allow his name to go before the Chicago convention as a candidate for vice president? If he is not a Republican, pushing from his associates and utterances from the rostrum and from his speeches, we argue with him in saying that he is not a Democrat. Yet if he is not a Republican, then John Mitchell, who leads the Negro ticket girl who claims to be a Republican, must be the G. O. P. standard bearer. (Urbaniana, Va., Southside, Southeast Democrat.) ```markdown ``` Rev. J. J. Nickerson Here. The Rev. J.J. Nickerson, pastor of the Main Street Baptist church, of Hinton, W. Va., and Secretary of the W. Va. State Baptist Convention spent several days in the city, while here he preached some wonderful sermons at 5th St of Baptist church, 6th Mt. Zion, Mt.

They celebrated the culmination of their October drive with a fine class banquet at the Church last Friday night. UNION SWAMPS MORGAN Locals Defect Rattimoreans 85 to 0 Here on October 29. Union University defeated Morgan College of Baltimore at Nighmond last Saturday by a score of 85 to 0. The visitors failed to make a single first down during the entire contest. At no time during the game was the local's goal threatened. Union displayed machine-like power, sweeping the ends and tackles at will, running through the line for 15 and 20 yards each down. The visitors were completely outclassed in every department of the game but displayed a gameness that would be creditable to any school. Many substitutes were sent in but the ease with which they fitted in the various positions showed that Union's reserve power equalled that of the first team. Practically the whole team deserves individual mentioning as did Capt. Phelcher and Camdy of Morgan, but as a unit Union displayed its best team work of the year. Union's next home game is against Lincoln University November 12. Lincoln defeated Morgan College 63 to 0 and from considering a good game can be expected Lineup: Morgan College Union Gordon L. E.

Charlotteville Names White and Cooper G. O. P. Election Judges. Charleston-ville. Va. Nov. 1. The city raised by the "white" Republican element in the State over the appointment of judges of the permission in the voting precincts of this city has been settled by the city electoral board by naming two white Republican and two colored Republican judges for the coming election. The local public understands perfectly the situation here in regard to the Republican vote and fully indorse the contention of the board hitherto, thus the majority of this vote is from the colored population. The men named have been accepted without denur or objection for many years, and it was only when it suited a certain "reformed" element to make a drive for control of the party machinery was there any disturbances made over the naming of those parties, year after year. Democrats point out. White Republicans are named in the first and fourth wards, as very probably the voters of that persuasion in those two precincts are of the "best "ement" of whites. But the same is declared true of the predominance of the colored voters in the second and third wards, and there the majority of the next, highest party voting was composed of colored people they being congested in these two sections. The two colored men named are recognized as worthy, upright and loyal citizens of the community. PRICE, FIVE CENTS DR. WILLBANKS WINDS UP BIG MEETING AT SECOND BAPTIST For the past ten days at the Second Baptist Church of this city a revival meeting of unusual interest has been in progress, being conducted by Rev. Dr. Alexander Witbakks, the prince of evangelists, commonly called the Black Billy Sunday of Washington, D.C., Since his first sermon in this city no Church here is large enough to accommodate the crowds that flock to his hour nightly. Very frequently hundred are turned away from the buildings being unable to gain entrance while every available space in the larger auditorium is taxed to its utmost capacity. The effect of his sermons upon his audience begins with description. There are times when the people are profound silence as though charmed and charged to the tongue of the wonderful preacher, then as by magic they are swift into a state of wild enthusiasm when the whole audience becomes like a stormy sorrow lashed into fury and tensed into spray when many of them are reaum and talk about as though under a snout of Pentecostal drunkenness. A large number of conversions on each service attest the presence of the Holy Spirit to convict men of sin of righteousness and of judgment to come. On last Sunday at 3:30 P.M. at the request of many of the adherents to the sun moving theory pre-mulgated by the late John Jasper he preached a sermon of rate power on the subject, "The Sun Do Move" selecting as a text Joshua 10:12. Long before the hour of service the Church was filled to overflow with people from every walk of life. There were doctors, lawyers, bankers, teachers, business men and women and ministers not a few. While the Pastors of the city have been in evidence at every service during the service of newborns, a last Sunday a large number were scattered in the audience and not a few were sound on the roost. At the close of the service many of the ministers and teachers lingered behind to tender the wonderful ex-pounder of the Jasperian theory their congratulations upon his great effort and his loyalty to Bible truth. The following are some of the themes which he discussed during his meetings here: The Devil's Hot Killing, The Child Sneezed Seven Times After Death, Prayer Meeting in Hell, The Great Deluge, Proofed Son, Valley of Dry Bones, The Woman Turned to a Pillar of Satan Hand Writing on the Wall, etc. As a result of this meeting the spiritual life of the churcher has been quickened, many backsliders were reclaimed and many a soul has been saved. The pastor and members of the Second Baptist Church especially count themselves fortunate in having the services of Dr. Wilhanks in their revival meeting and sincerely hope it will be their good fortune to have his services again real society Richmond, Va., will rejoice in his speedy return. Having completed his engagement at the Second Baptist church he returned to Washington, D.C. Saturday morning to resume his work at the 10th Street Baptist church where he is engaged as pastor.

It is an easy task to criticize, but a difficult one to suggest satisfactory remedies. Read colored newspapers and pay for them. You will help the race and profit yourselves. Some people are so sensitive that they find it a difficult task to be pleased even with themselves. Do not disagree with some people. Some of them cannot stand it and all the argument in the world will not convince them. President Harding will have a difficult time explaining to the colored people in the northern States his position upon the race question. All the colored folks want is to be treated just like any other American citizen and given all of the rights and privileges any other citizen enjoys. You cannot reach Heaven in any other way than by the front door route. Those who tried the other way are down in the hot place. The colored people of this section now have a legislative ticket for which they can vote. It is a good Republican ticket too Any colored person, who can vote for Col. Henry W. Anderson in the face of his condemnation of their race can eat buzzard without vomiting. Col. Henry W. Anderson was a "cracker-jack" man in Europe, but he he is a "blunder-buss" man in this country. Read colored journals, colored folks and pay for them. Select the ones you prefer, but subscribe and pay for some colored journals. Abusing and ostracising colored folks is about the only thing that drives them together and causes them to act as a unit. When a southern white man cannot sit beside a southern Negro, brethren, there is something the matter with his raising. President's Warren t. Harding's speech at Birmingham Alabama seems to us to be a direct repudiation of Candidate Henry W. Anderson's speeches in Virginia. Raising the religious issue is just as dangerous as raising the race issue. Both of these things are loaded with a preparation, more explosive than dynamite. Col. Henry W. Anderson claimed that he had removed the race question as an issue in this campaign and now he has challenged Hqn. E. Lee Trinkle to a discussion of the race issue. If he is not carrying out his platform plodges before he is elected, how can he bring the people to believe that he will carry them out after election? Any man, be he white or colored, who stirs up the race issue and attempts to arouse ill feeling between the white and the colored people is an enemy to both races. ```markdown ``` They burned a colored man at the stake in South Carolina for killing a white man. The law provides that he should be hanged or electrocuted, but they preferred to burn him at a stake. We must remain in politics if we desire to retain for ourselves and our children the blessings of freedom. The only means of protection is to be found at a ballot box. All sensible people know this. You can go up if you strive. You are not required to make any effort to come down. The animosity of your enemies and the force of gravitation will bring you down without any effort on your part. ```markdown ``` It seems to us that President Harding must have heard a rumbling in some of the doubtful northern States, also he would not have made that key note speech at Birmingham, Alabama. John Mitchell, Jr., hesitated about accepting the Republican nomination for Governor, but after he read the speeches of Hon. Henry W. Anderson, he hesitated no longer. He is running now, yes, running "like the devil." "All men up, rather than some men down," was the declaration of Col. Theodore Roosevelt. It is needless to say that Col. Henry W. Anderson, who is running on an anti-Negro plat form does not agree with Col. Roosevelt. This much can be said of Senator E. Lee Trinkle, he has made a quiet statesmanlike campaign for the office of Governor. Should he fail to win, he will at least be demonstrated that he was the proper man for the office. We have the amusing anomaly of white Democrats retaining colored judges in office and white Repubicans seeking to put them out by court act. idn. Good-bye to this kind of Repubicanism. Some people are asking if the colored people will support the ticket nominated here in Richmond. We do not know. As they nominated, it is logical to suppose that they will support the ticket that they nominated. It would be well for Col. Henry W. Anderson and Hon. C. Bascom Slemp to remember that they are not dealing with the men only in this contest. They have aroused the colored women. When you get a woman to going, there is sure to be trouble. Colored folks, be careful of your language in the presence of white folks, even though they may be opposed to you. We are out to make friends with the white people and not to increase the number of our enemies amongst this same class of people. Candidate Henry W. Anderson believes in all Negroes down. He seems to be oblivious of the fact that Negroes cannot be kept down without white folks remaining down wtn bim to keep him down and industrious white folks, with the money-making habit haven't the time for that kind of business. We suggest that Col. Henry W. Anderson be sent after next Tuesday to Europe to take up the Red Cross Work, where he left off in Russia. Hon. E. Lee Trinke is thoroughly qualified to take charge of the gubernatorial duties in the Executive offices at Ricamoud. Col. Henry W. Anderson's voice is said to be failing him. We are sorry about this. His talk did the Republican ticket nominated at Richmond more good than a dozen campaign orators could possibly do. We hope that his voice will come back. His followers are acting very much like his voice—they are failing him too. Let every colored person do their duty in arousing the folks in the neighborhood to vote against Col. Henry W. Anderson and to support the ticket headed by John Mitchell, Jr. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA They do not allow you to vote but once, but vote as often as they allow you so to do. The Negro-hating Republicans are now sympatizing with Governor West moreland Davies and Hon. Harry St. George Pucker. Both are old line ponticians and statesmen and have tasted political defeat before and both know how to take political punishment with out filinching. The statesman who did most to misrepresent and injure ex-Congressman Tucker is dead. --- Col. Henry W. Anderson evidently had a barrel of money behind him in this campaign. The Democrats necessarily had another barrel. As for the Republicans who are struggling to maintain their self respect, they have fought on money-less and empty handed trusting to the sound second thought of the good white and colored people of this commonwealth. Col. Anderson practically says that he does not want the Negroes but as the white voting support is growing less every day, so far as he is concerned and the Hon. E. Lee Trinkle vote is steadily on the increase, the colored vote in this State must look "mighty tempting" to him. --- President Harding seems to be travelling on a different road from that on which Candidate Henry W. Anderson is now travelling. They started out on the same highway, but they must have parted company at one of the forks somewhere down there on the way to Birmingham Alabama. ```markdown ``` Col. Anderson is not even in accord with the Constitution of Virginia, which accords to Negroes their legal rights. As he must take an oath to maintain and support the Virginia Constitution and the Federal laws and statutes, even if elected how can he do this and if he should decline to do so, he cannot hold office. Virginia presents the humiliating spectacle of a Republican candidate for Governor running upon a platform to deny colored citizens the right to enter Republican primaries or Republican conventions. It only takes on more election day to settle him and the organization which supports the candidate. Colored people, who have lived in the Southland long enough have enough of the white folks, social equality. It has been going on so long that some of us are unable to tell at a distance our children from the white folks children. So far as color is concerned, they all "look alike to us." We are opposed to social equality. --- We are in this fight to win the respect of all the people of this State and country. If President Harding can stand responsible for this mongrel ticket, which has been presented to the people of Virginia by this Republican organization led by Hon. C. Bascom Slemp, he can stand anything. This ticket and the methods resorted to in order to elect are sure to react from one section of these United States to the other. --- If the white folks of Virginia really want a genuine Republican administration in State affairs, we advise them to vote for the ticket nominated in the True Reformers' Hall on Labor Day. The candidates nominated are not especially anxious to serve, but will gladly do so, if the white folks end the colored folks want them to do so. --- Colored folks, pray and work hard for the Republican ticket nominated at Richmond. The Anderson ticket was nominated at Norfolk. The white leaders had been so unacustomed to colored men that they could not and would not permit three regularly elected colored delegates against whom there was no contest, sit as delegates. One of these is a practicing physician and the other is an ex-member of the Virginia legislature. --- We only wish that this election was about three weeks off and that Co. Henry W. Anderson could make some more of those Negro-hating speeches. The Republicans in this State would not have any need to make any more speeches in order to convince every colored voter in the State that their bounden duty rests in supporting the whole ticket nominated in Richmond on Labor Day. Co. Anderson has learned a great many things, but he is now in his "A. B. C.'s." in politics. He is the best stump-speaker Hon. E. Lee Trinkle has to promote his candidacy. He has driven away from himself all of the colored folks and the white folks have become so disgusted that they are leaving too. The southern white folks and the southern colored folks understand each other. Fare-well Co. Anderson. THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. We do not believe that any colored man with judgment will for a moment consider the advisability of voting the ticket headed by Col. Henry W. Anderson. His attitude and that of his associates has done more to arouse race feeling in this State than anything which has taken place since the Civil War. He has persistently kept the race issue in the foreground, when as a matter of fact this issue was eliminated in this State by the Democrats themselves. The ministers in Virginia, who are the recognized leaders of their flocks will exert much influence in this campaign and no doubt will direct their congregations just what to do. In order to maintain their self-respect, the Republican people of this commonwealth have nominated a strong ticket and all of the men nominated are well known, being responsible citizens in their respective localities. As for the head of the ticket John Mitchell, Jr., modesty fords any comment. He has been before the people for more than a quarter of a century and his record will serve to emphasize his standing in this community. Theodore Nash of Portsmouth is the choice of Tidewater Virginia and the attitude of that section was concurred in by Republicans from other sections of the State. He is candidate for the office of Lieutenant Governor. J. Thomas Newsome is a brilliant attorney from the same section, and his record as a lawyer ranks with the foremost in this State regardless of race or color. Hq is a resident of Newport News, Va. He is candidate for Attorney-General. Thomas E. Jackson, was the choice of the great Piedmont Valley. He is a banker and a citizen of influence with residence at Staunton, Va. He is candidate for State Treasurer. In the selection of a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, the popular Mrs. Maggie L. Walker was chosen. She is thoroughly conversant with public school work. She resides in Richmond and in naming her the women were given proper recognition. Dr. Frank V. Bacchus was nominated as Secretary of the Commonwealth. He resides in Lynchburg, Va., and this is a deserved recognition to that section. He is qualified for the duties of the office. Arthur T. Brickhouse comes from across the Chesapeake. The representatives from that section wanted him and he was nominated for the position of Commissioner of Agriculture and Immigration. This ends the ticket so far as the State is concerned. Local communities will have their candidates. We urge upon every citizen in the State regardless of race or color, politics or religion to support the candidates named by these representatives of the Republican Party in convention assembled. The eyes of the people of the outside States are upon the people of Virginia. The launching of a white Republican Party in Virginia and the open notification to American citizens of color that they were not only not wanted, but would not be permitted to participate in any of the deliberations of the Republican Party brought about the anomalous condition, which demanded that a Republican ticket be nominated. The call issued for this convention did not bar white citizens from participating in the Republican Convention and their names were eligible for nomination upon the party ticket. The head of this ticket declined to run upon any other platform, insisting that a black ticket, launched as such was as objectionable as a white ticket launched as such. It was as legitimate and as proper to nominate all colored men upon the same ticket provided no restrictive rules as to color were laid down as it would be to nominate all white candidates upon a Republican ticket. As a matter of fact conventions in which both white and colored citizens participated have for the last forty years or more been nominating all white men on the Republican ticket and the colored citizens have loyalty supported these white men. It is no more than right that the old line white Republicans should emphasize their opposition to Col. Henry W. Anderson and his Negro-hating and Old Line Republican hating associates by voting for the candidates of the Republican Party nominated in this city on Labor Day. It behooves every citizen to vote and put the stamp of disapproval on these troublebreeders in this Grand Old Commonwealth. A DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE. --- Some colored folks are simple enough to believe that the advocacy of a division of the Negro vote means that they should divide up and vote for some other party just to be voting. It does not mean any such thing. It means that intelligent colored people should read up on the principles and platforms of the various political parties and after doing this, select the one that has principles in keeping with that particular colored man's ideas. In doing this, the voter becomes politically independent and adds materially to the advancement of his people as a whole. To support a party, whose principles are antagonistic to the colored people and whose representatives are forward in denouncing the colored people smacks of servility and will bring contempt to the individual attempting to associate with such an organization. Do not go to a neighbor's house if he does not want you to come there. Let your self-respect keep you away and do not support a party, whose platform denounces you and whose candidates revile and abuse you. When the saloons were about colored patrons or at least some of them, were kicked out of the front door and they would grovel around and come into the side alley to the back door. But these people were drunk and you are presumed to be sober. Stand up and be men. Colored folks walk upright. Stooping is bad for the kidneys and worse for your self respect. FRIENDLY RELATIONSHIP The Republican nominees, named at the Republican Convention in Richmond, Va., are making a campaign upon the basis of good-feeling between the white and colored people of this State and they advocate the cultivation of a friendly relationship between both classes of people. They are urging the colored people to make friends with the white people and to do all in their power to increase their friendship. They even placed in their platform a provision in favor of pensioning the ex-Confederates and to increase the allowances to this class of people. If our ticket should be miraculously elected, all classes of people can rest assured that we shall give the people of this State a conservative administration and that the distribution of offices shall be made upon a basis of true worth and not solely upon the basis of color. We would also call attention to the fact that the colored people did not want to nominate any ticket. Col. Henry W. Anderson and his supporters forced them to do it. They were very well satisfied with the white management or affairs, provide that management was based upon the according to the people of this State equal and exact justice to all regardless of race or color, politics and religion. LYNCHBURG NEWS. LYNCHBURG, VA., October 31—The Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A. has been fortunate in arranging interesting vesper programs. Some of the speakers and their subjects for October have been, Miss Lena, Sheldon, general secretary of the Central Association, "The Task Ahead"; Miss Adele F. Ruffin, field secretary, "The Dynamic Needs of Social Service"; Dr. F. V. Baceus, local druggist, "Today's Opportunities," and Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, "Dreamers and Doers." The programs to follow will be equally as interesting. Don't miss them. The Randolph Macon College girls have the programs on the second Sunday in every month. On October 23, Mrs. Lulu P. Butler, of Harrisburg, Pa., who was present at the vesper hour brought greetings from the Harrisburg Phyllis Wheatley Branch. She also gave a dramatic reading. The classes in music, sewing and Bible are open for registration. Sowing and Bible classes begin the first week in November. Other classes are being arranged. Watch for the poster announcements. A story-telling hour for the girls of the city has been started. Every Saturday at 3 P. M. the girls will be told stories by the Randolph-Macon girls, the Lynchburg Seminary teachers and the public school teachers. The fall and winter program includes festival parties, chestnut hunting parties, hikes, World Fellowship parties and pageants. The committee members are completing their plans for finishing the deferred $2,500 campaign. Recent out-of-town visitors at the Branch have been: Mrs. Lula P. Butler, Harrisburg, Pa., Miss Daisy Holly, Pensacola, Fl., Mrs. Gray, Jersey City, N. J., Mrs. Talber, Boston, Mass., Mr. William Allen, Richmond, Va. and Mrs. S. P. Patterson, Manteo, Va. Mrs. Willie Robinson, of Pittsburg Pa., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Evans, 702 Monroe street, who is visiting her parents, has been the guest of Mrs. Lucy Greene, 1010 Sixth street at a luncheon and of Mrs. Lily Rose Thompson, Polk street, at a dinner. THE VIRGINIA NEGROES HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE SAVE THE COLORED REPUBLICAN TICKET Hon. J. Thomas Newsome Clearly Diagnoses the Political Status of the Virginia Negro. Dear Sir: As the campaign draws to a close there is a marked falling off in personalities among the leaders and a clearer understanding of the real purposes and aims of the political movement in Virginia that has stirred the whole State as never before in its history. It turns out that, after all, there is very little difference of opinion among us. The whole trouble has grown out of a difference of means to the same end desired. Some think that there should be a division of our vote at this time, while others hold to the view that, inasmuch as there is a real ticket of Colored Republicans in the field, it should be given the support of all of us so as to dignify the protest. I cannot see how we can afford to divide our forces at this time. True, there are two parties of white voters in the field at present, but both hold to the same view on the race question. Neither professes to believe in the political and civil equality of the Negro and each is equally loud in protest that it will have none of htm. Just at the time when some of our best men were inclined to stand with the Lily White organization, came Col. Anderson with the most bitter attack on the Negro as a man and a citizen that has found utterances from the lips of any candidate for high office in the history of the State. His appeal to prejudice took the lowest form that could have been conceived by the smallest ward heeler that ever prated before a town meeting. He would not allow Negro judges in election, forsooth! The constitution directs that they shall be appointed if they represent the minority party, but what is a little thing like the Constitution when it stands in the way of keeping the Negro in his place! Of course, no Negro can swallow that medicine. And Mr. Trinkle would treat the Negro fairly and justly, so he says, and so he really believes. But how about his political equality? How can any Negro afford to vote the Democratic ticket when the law of the party governing primary election forbids any Negro from participating therein? How can a Negro vote to agree that he is not fit to enter a booth that nominates candidates? How can you repudiate a party and yet vote for its nominee? How can a Negro be an independent, voting for men and not for their party when those very men tell him to his teeth that they plant both feet squarely on the party's record and will uphold its principles at whatever cost? It seems to this writer that much of the talk about voting for men and not for parties is in line with the sophistry that you can serve the devil without becoming imbued with the spirit of his satanic majesty. The Republican party was conceived in justice and is dedicated to the doctrine of the absolute civil and political equality of all men irrespective of color or previous conditions of servitude. That is the Republicanism of the ticket nominated on Labor Day. There is only one other party in Virginia and that is the Democratic party. The other thing is a monstrosity. Choose ye, this day how you will vote. SPECIAL COURSES OFFERED TO TEACHERS AND HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.

NICKERSON Hinton, West Virginia. He is willing that his ability as Evangelist take care of the financial considerations Address: 131 Main & Cemetery S HINTON, W. VA. Pastor the Main St. Baptist Chu ANDERSON FORCING THE RACE ISSUE. The race issue, having ceased to be an issue, was to have no place in the present gubernatorial campaign. The Republicans themselves programmed it that way. They proclaimed themselves a white party and at Norfolk wrote for themselves a platform that purported to be white, although it provided for the removal of voting restrictions which, should it come to pass, would make race the one great issue in Virginia during many future campaigns. Having cast the Negro from their midst and promised to eschow him as political material, to the relief of the people of Virginia who long have been bird of the racial bugaboo, Colonel Anderson, by the very vehemence with which he protests his party's 100 percent whiteness, even to an insistence on daily joint debates on that issue with Mr. Trinkle is dragging it back into the political forum to the overshadowing of issues that are living. Not content with his protestations of G. O. P. whiteness, he would emphasize his party's decree of divorce from the Negro by going into the courts and by mandamus ousting thirty-two Negro Republicans who hold positions in this State as judges of elections. By the extreme to which his course is leading him it would seem that the Colonel doth protest too much. The Democrats are not concerned over Negro election judges whose presence at the poll is so offensive to the newly whitewashed Republicans. The question of representation at the voting places would seem an issue to be determined between the white and the black Republican parties, each of which has set itself up as the only simon-pure G. O. P. article in Virginia. When this family battle for supremacy has been decided, the matter of who shall represent the victorious party faction at the polls will be easy of settlement. Pending that decision, it seems rather overdoing it for the whit branch of the Republican family to draw the knife so viciously on the other members of its political menge who in former years have been its almost sole means of support. This latest gesture of the Colonel with his threat of court action to rid with his threat of court action to rid his party of that undesired element which it has been unable to throw out bodily, will fool no one. It will not convince the voters at large that over night the party has become irreovocably, militantly and perpetually white, or that its present divorcement from the Negro is not an experiment born of political exigency. It will not be convincing so long as the Republican platform, professing to be white, contains planks that condemn it as monogrel. (Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, Oct. 27, 1921.) USE BDER HELD IN STOCK FOR MEDICENAL PURPOSES. Sale to Sick at Once Permissible Under Proper Regulation.

Wheeler general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League. "We are not so much interested in this," he said "as we are in the enforcement of the provisions which prevent any applicant from getting a permit who has violated either State or Federal law or regulation thereafter.

A Library that Lends Books by Mall Boston, Mass., October 25.—There is now established at 224 Tremont street a library known as the Universal Library. This institution will lend books in any part of the country, however remote, by mail. Such a service has been a long felt public need and will go far toward the elimination of illiteracy, and ought to be a great incentive for the promotion of reading in general. People living in the remote districts will now have the same opportunity of borrowing books as those residing in the larger cities. The low parcel post rates will make delivery service only a trivial; and there are further advantages in that ample traveling time is allowed to any designation, and that one may be privileged to retain books from fifteen to twenty days, not counting the time for the delivery of books to and from the library. $100.00 Death Claim Paid.

ASK MANDAMUS TO REMOVE 4 COLORED ELECTION JUDGES Mandamus proceedings to compete the removal of the four cofeded judges of the electoral board at Charlottesville will be instituted in the corporation court in that city tomorrow, according to a videogram received at Republican State headquarters this morning from Charles Hammer, Charlottesville attorney. The colored members were appointed to the board prior to election in which Congressman Harrison won over State Senator John Paul, Republican, and their retention as judges has been a matter of bitter dispute ever since. The position to be presented this court maintains that two of the colored members are Democrats another is allied with the "dily white" wing of the Republican party and is supporting Mitchell for Governor and that the other is an illiterate. The pre-cinct where the four colored judges sit is the voting place of the majority of the faculty members of the University of Virginia. (Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch.)
