Republican Chairman Hays And Other National Party Leaders Denounce Lynching And Mob Violence. VOL. VIII. NO. 44 ROSCOE President Of L LINCOLN LEAG BRINGS FAVO Republican Chairman Hay Leaders Denounce Lyn Convention Favors Cutting Down Southern Representation. Resolutions Adopted. Wood And Lowden Speak. CHICAGO, Feb. 18.—The first annual convention of the Lincoln League of America held at South Park Methodist Episcopal Church, this city, stands as the most remarkable political meeting of representatives of our group ever held in the United States. More than 400 delegates, and several hundred visitors from thirty-three states of the union journeyed to Chicago to deliberate and take action on the questions of the day. The significance of the occasion was heightened not only by the fact that the delegates and visitors represented without question the experience, culture, and strength of the group, but by the appearance on the program of four national characters, two of whom are candidates for President of the United States. They were, in order of appearance at the convention; Will H. Hayes, chairman of the Republican National Committee; Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois; Mayur William Hale Thompson of Chicago and Major General-Leonard Wood of the Central Department, United States Army. The convention was called to order by Perry W. Howard of Jackson, Mise, the attorney for the League, and one of the most constructive political leaders of the country. Col. Bosco Conkling Simmons, president of the Lincoln League, Alderman L.B. Anderson, of Chicago, and the big meeting awaver into action, prayer being offered by Rey. J. W. Mibbons, of Tennessee. It had been the purpose of the League to have former Governor P. B. Pinchback, of Louisiana, as one of the honored guests of the convention, representing the "old guard" of the times that tried men's souls, but Gov. Pinchback's health would not permit, theses, however many present who had come up through that period, and they were introduced to the convention, among them were Major John R. Lynch former Congressman from Mississippi, and for a number of years in the United States Army, as paymaster, and for a long time under command of General Leonard Wood; 1 C. Napoleon of Nashville; 2 C. William of Tennessee; W. H. Stewart, of Louisville, KY, editor of the American Baptist; Scott Bond, of Arkansas, farmer and capitalist; 1 F. Norris, of Seattle, Washington, former member of the legislature of Tennessee. These men, although yet active in the affairs of the race expressed their great pride in seeing the younger men prepared to take up the active work of political and economic progress, and bade them God-speed. Ralph W Tyler, of Ohio, former Auditor of the Navy, spoke as a newspaper representative. The first subject to be discussed in the convention was "Should Southern Representation be cut down?" While it means agreed that the final disposition of this important subject should be left in the resolutions, committee, the discussion was filled with dramatic moments when views from the various sections were expressed. The sentiment was overwhelming, however, for putting down representation, at the earl of the actual rate, as has been done by the National Republican Committee for delegates to the National Republican Convention. The discussion of "Jim Crow" cars, was opened by Charles A. Cottrill, former Collector of Internal Revenue, Honolulu, H. I., a resident of Ohio. He was followed by James A. Cobb, former assistant District Attorney, Washington District of Columbia. Lynching was discussed at length at the closing evening session by James Weldon Johnson, of New York, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Johnson presented statistics concerning the lynching evil in this country that astounded his hearers. All of the subjecta before the convention were circumcised at length by the able thinkers of the group in the country. It was very evident from the discussion that mineral sediment prevails among the people for action and results in the wrongs suffered at this time because of the discursive remembrance for the abuses of the feeling of anger and radical agitation except in so far as it was made plain that 150,000,000 Colored people are deprived to get some kind of hearing before the bar of justice. Siemens Uses Sidney President Renee Goubling Sidney provided at all the sessions of the League and introduced the speakers for the various topics under consideration. One of the striking features of the convention was the inimitable eloquence with which Col. Sidney presented the speakers, and this was particularly true of his introduction of the distinguished speaker of the other race. With results and deep meaning The St. Louis Argus Resolutions Adopted At the final session of the convention, Thursday night, the resolutions were read by Attorney Isaac Nutter, of New Jersey, and after a short discussion by various delegates on some of the points, were unanimously adopted. Among the leading planks in the resolutions are: "The Republican Party is called on condemn molting violence and bring the justice of molting under federal supervision; The endorsement of woman's suffrage; The urging of Colored workmen to labor unions were it demonstrated that there is no discrimination on the grounds of race or creed; The call upon candidates for Congress and for President of the United States to declare themselves on the subjects concerning which Colored Producers concerned; The urging of the people to contribute more liberally to the cause of conducting political campaigns; The endorsement of the League of Nations with the Lodge reservations; The Republican Party is accepted through which the League activities are to be carried on." sature, fact after fact with reference to the two groups dwelling side by side in the United States, was driven home. Probably one of the most effective expressions of Col. Simmons came after description of how the white and Colored have been joined by God in working to preservation of humanity in this country, by the scripture of what each is doing, and then he added, amid great applause: "What God has joined together, let no man put assumer." The first speaker Wednesday night was Chairman Hays. He launched into his subject with characteristic pre-speaking straight from the speaker on the things that he knows are uppermost in the mind of every Colored American. He denounced lynching as an un-American and unChristian, and denounced the matter of citizenship, the Constitution of the United States should be upheld. Mr. Hays made very plain that the Republican party this year does not propose to sidestep the responsibilities of the hour, but will face all subjects with characteristic Americanism, for he declared: "the history of the nation is the history of the Republican party." The address of Chairman Hays was received with great enthusiasm. Lowden Avoids Vital Issues Governor Frank O. Lowden followed, Governor Lowden took advantage of the occasion being on the eve of Lincoln's birthday, and the name of the League being "Lincoln" and confined his remarks largely to an eulogy of the life of Abraham Lincoln. His address was interesting from that standpoint, but the vast assemblage was plainly disappoint because he failed to make an open declaration concerning his views on the critical subjects concerning the Constitution, and evident that the Governor sturdily and carefully avoided these subjects, it appearing at times as though he was embarrassed to find just the proper words to use. Mayor Thompson Scourus Applause. Mayor Thompson's address was typical of his belief in political equality and opportunity. He reviewed his career as mayor of Chicago, and told how he had always sought to uphold the constitution in the city for the people. He told why he appoints his assistants on merit, and not by race, and was loudly applauded. In the midst of the Mayor's address, General Wood arrived. He was given the greatest demonstration of the entire convention, Mayor Thompson discontinued his address for the time, and finally grasped the hand of General Wood, and the audience applauded, and stood cheering. At the conclusion of the Mayor's address, President Simmons introduced General Wood, of the United States Army, as a "personal friend to the great American who believed in 'all men up,' Theodore Roosevelt." General Wood minced no words, nor did he lose time in making himself understood. His first words were: "I believe in upholding the Constitution of the United States, and that means that I believe the laws should be obeyed by all, and that all citizens should enjoy the constitution. He declared that the government must first for law and order, moss, which foundation only, can peace and harmony be maintained. General Wood denounced lynching and mob violence as one of the most dangerous conditions, of American life, and states that every interest of every group in all parts of the country must work for the elimination of the crimes it order that the majesty of the government must be upheld. He states that democracy must mean democracy at the individual American and that that is the troubles of Europe, so far as America is concerned. He paid a tribute to the soldiers of our group, and then said: "The brave men of the Tenth Cavalry were with me in Cuba. Here and there among the delegates and other persons present were at least a half a dozen who drove and sailed. "I am one," the General saluting in order, Published In The Interest Of Cologed People Dr. C. H. Phillips Makes Impassioned Defense Of Citizens Liberty League Against Attacks Of Certain Speakers. At the Lincoln-Douglas celebration of the Minnesota National League Club last Tuesday night, L.C. C. Dyer, Chairman John Schmoll, L.C. Dyer and other city officials spoke. The meeting was held at Louisiana Hall, 921 N. Vandeverter avenue, and widely advertised as an opportunity to attend official talks. W. R. Hill, assistant commissioner, presided. I. H. Bradbury, chairman precinct organization. Dr. Phillips Defends The Liberty League During the meeting it developed that there were other purposes than the honoring of dead patriots by the assemblage. This was emphasized when some of the speakers made an attack on the Citizens Liberty League. The last speaker, Dr. Chas, Henry Phillips, in an impassioned speech, declared that he was a Negro before he was a Republican; warned the audience on the Liberty League by these attacks on the Liberty League. It was an organized body of over 200 publicans fighting for the civil and political rights of the Negro, not only of this city and state, but the nation as well. "It is not Democracy," he said, "nother is it Independence," it is not Socialistic nor I. W. W. neither does it sympathize with the Committee of 48, but it is really Republican and thoroughly American, and being that, it would deny no privilege or right to any citizen because of his race or for a condition of servitude. It is a military condition of servitude toward none with charisma for all, not for the Negroer "greaves, begging no further praying simple elementary justice." He was generously anlauded. CITIZENS ARE TIRED OF FUTURE PROMISES At a meeting of the Citizens Liberty League, Thursday night, at the Pythian Hall, which was fully attended by members of that organization, the thought which predominated many of the forceful speeches made, urged the voters to give serious attention to Race solidarity, which is the only thing that will enable them to rise to their rightful places in this new day. "Vote For Negroes When We Can" One speaker said, "we want justice and liberty, and not future plans and promises. Resolutions in Congress, to erect monuments to our dead soldiers be of no material service to us. We need to become weak or fainterhearted on the proposition. We should vote for Negroes when we can, and for white men when we must." Warning To Political Traitors "Time is coming when the Citizens Liberty League will take off the hide of Negra traitors. There is a self-determination on the part of our people that we must have representation in the City Council, legislative and congressional affairs," said another speaker, who voiced the sentiment of the big audience.

Negroes Raise Storm Of Protest When Congressman Declares Illinois Executive F or Presidential Candidate The Power of Public Sentiment At the convention of the Twelfth Congressional District of Missouri last Tuesday night, a clash between the Negro delegates and Congressman L. C. Dyer was settled only after he (Mr. Dyer) had withdrawn a resolution which he had introduced to instruct the delegates from the district to support Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, for presidential nominee at the National Convention at Governmental June. Mr. Dyer after having lauded Governor Lowden the great man and praising him for what he had done, the people of Illinois, and commending him for his stand for justice and fair play toward all, made a motion to instruct the delegates for Mr. Lowden. Associated News (Associated Negro Press.) Do you remember last year when a delegation from our group approached Senator Charles Murray urging his cooperation in demanding justice for all in the United States? Do you remember the sage advice he gave them? It is a happy minute to now recall it. Senator Curtis believes in justice for all Americans, and has publicly proved to the nation, with splendid results, just where he stands as a servant of the people. But he talked to the delegation in words to this effect. "You must understand, no matter how important or essential a law may be, it takes public sentiment to pass it, and nothing is accomplished without it. Go back to your homes and begin a campaign of making public sentiment for the things you desire." Public sentiment has been aroused and there are now, things coming to pass. The average white political as plant is a pastmaster of the art of camouflage and dodging the issue. The traditional street fakir dodger of balls is a more weakling beside them. When they have to fit into that they have to commit themselves on certain importance subjects, the will of the wisp is a more pet kitten beside them. The hottest subject in American political life is the Race question. Candidates from town constable to President get the greenwich silvers when they think about it. This is all due to the fact that we have two great things in our behalf: Organization and Public Sentiment. In this grand year of grace we have as our glorious allies both of these factors, and we have one thing more, money. With this combination, the time. "For which we long have sought, and mourned because we found it not." has come. It is here, hook, line and sinker. There are going to be some encumbrances days in this grand old "land of the free," for some people, and they are not the ones on this side of the irresistible time. Until it is a matter of record, no theory or promise counts. We have our index card system, and our expert tabulators working full time and extra, the exact measure of every living creature that has an atom of activity. We are going to be decent about the job, but we are going to be thorough RICHARD W. THOMPSON NEWSPAPER MAN DIES Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 18- Richard W. Thompson, one of the best known newspaper correspondents in the country, died here Friday. Feb. 12, following an operation at Freedman's hospital. Mr. Thompson had had a long time, suffering from a nervous breakdown. He leaves his wife and daughter. Mr. Thompson began his newspaper career with the Indianapolis Freeman, and for a number of years conducted Thompson's News Bureau. He had been connected with the Uniti- tity of the University of Iowa for years and was one of the chief assistants to Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Aidstant to the Secretary of War, during the World's War. Jim-Crow Park For Negroes # ANAIMATED NEWS PRESS TAMPA, Fl. Feb. 18—With petition signed by some 6980 colored citizens, the special park committee of the city, announced Tuesday, the city chase the Spencer-safe for a colored park for $10,000. This property is located along Nebraska Avenue on which it has a frontage of 310 feet. Later and ordinance for the purchase of the property was adopted. Lieut. Reed In Evansville By Associated Neuro Users Lincoln Newspaper Press EVA Ind. Stud., Feb. 18- Feb. following the address of Lirec, Leed, traveling lecturer of the National Race Congress of America at Liberty Baptist Church, members of the congregation voted to form a local branch. E. G. Tidrington was elected president. Other officials elected were: E. A. W. Lander- dale. Vice president: John Talliferro, Secretary. This action brought down a storm of protest from the Negro delegates present. J. E. Mitchell, editor St. Louis Argus, arose and told the Convention how Governor Lowden had acted during the East St. Louis massacre, and declared that the Negroes would oppose any move to endorse Mr. Lowden. Mr. Dyer only made matters worse by trying to defend the Illinoisan, which was followed by some sharp questions from Mr. Mitchell, citing that Governor Lowden had failed to act when first appealed to, "and later said Mitchell," he must have been gone a fishing-for he could not be found. Mr. Mitchell was backed by W. G. Matthews and W. H. King. and unambashed. Why should we not be? Even the new white South has said our cause is just. Can the white North, or any other power or principality say less? We have met every test of manhood to which a clever and cruel people could subject us, and we have never failed to measure up. We do not demand forgiveness for the past, nor do we appeal in the whining terms of a Race of helpless children, but we want justice, and want it on the square. We are called sentimental people. We are that and our elicited soul qualities are the saving power of the American nation, in music, art, art and reality. But we announce to the world that in this cause of justice, we are intensely practical, upstanding and keen visioned. Governor Bickett of North Carolina, has told us to "appeal to the white man's conscience." We accept the invitation, but beg to announce that our records show that in many localities the silent guide to righteousness is scarred with a heilish glue of hatred that drives away even the faintest echo of the "still small voice." But this fact does not discourage us. Having bravely endured all things, and now that our day is here, and the curtain is up on our act in the world wide vandalism, we cheerfully assume the possibility of finding a science. We will begin, not with the hard nuts frat, but those who now show the possibilities of fair play, like the glories in the "opening of a chest nut burr." Do you remember as a child, how you used to watch the magic of "popping corn"? Do you recall how intently you watched for the opening of the first little grain into a beautiful white cottony bulb? When there was another and another, until the whole pepper was bulging with tequila corn? The is like our position in American life to thank God for the South, East and West are beginning to speak up and declare themselves on the cause of human justice in good old-fashioned American language that means just one thing, and others are following their example, and their words are being backed up with noble and unselfish deeds, and we are all getting a clearer better, and more sincere understanding of each other, and we, on both sides, are working together to just all differences, and best of all, we are knowing that America is the country for all, and all of us are for America. Let the good work go on. THREE DEAD AND SIX INJURED IN PINE BLUFF, ARK. THREE DEAD AND SIX INJURED IN PINE BLUFF, ARK. BY Associated Negro Press. FINE BLUFF, Ark. Feb. 18—Three dead and at least six injured, one critically, was the 'toll taken in a shooting affray between posee men and George Vicks, a Negro who barricaded himself in a house after he had killed a city detective, C.

(Special to The Argus) Kansas City, Feb. 17. The Western Circuit, Negro National Baseball League was formed in Kansas City last week and Andrew "Rube" Foster was honored with the first presidency. Any chance for friction went astray, for the formation worked like a well-oiled machine. The new league will open about May 1 with eight clubs, and will be incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois. In the awarding of players the St. Louis Giants lose Jimmie Lyons, a player brought in and made by Manager Charles Mills, by paying St. Louis for ten years. It is said that Lyons received advance money from the St. Louis club in December, 1919, to play the season 1920 in St. Louis, and then received money from and signed with Detroit. In the shift of players Lyons, was awarded to Detroit Broken contracts will not be tolerated. "Rube," of the Chicago American Giants, has released his star pitcher, Whitworth, to Detroit, and Outfielder Charleston to C. J. Taylor's A. B. C. Indiansapolis. Detroit gave up Donaldson, Mendez, Crawford and Rudriguez to Kansas City. These changes place St. Louis in a favorable light in the championship race.

Money would be no object, for above all things you want to be attractive, to look your best. A clear, smooth skin and a radiant complexion are, therefore, of the greatest importance to you. Long ago realizing the need of some preparation that would enable ambitious people to make themselves more attractive, skin specialists and chemists were put to work to perfect a compound that people could use at home to brighten their complexion. After many tests and experiments, extending over a period of years, the Black and White Beauty Treatment was offered the public. This home treatment consists of Black and White Ointment and Black and White Soap. The Ointment is mixed and applied just before bedtime and washed off the next morning. It is both simple and safe to use and just as delightful as the many face creams and lotions. It contains only the best of oils and soap-making ingredients which are known to soothe and cleanse the pores, keep the skin in a healthy condition and improve the Complexion. The Black and White Beauty Treatment can be found at most good drug and toilet counters, or one package of Black and White Ointment and a bar of Black and White Soap will be sent you postpaid. Black and White Ointment alone will brighten your skin and remove pimples and roughness, but when Black and White Soap is also used, much quicker and better results are secured. Black and White Soap is one of the best antiseptic toilet and beauty soaps made.

HAS WORK FOR MANY HUNDRED. MORE COLORED MEN By Associated Negro Press. GARY, Ind., Feb. 11.—The many men who work for the steel companies in Gary are jubilant over the fact that the new increase in wages just announced will benefit so many Race families. It is stated that the lowest wages which any man employed in the mills will now receive will be $0.00 per day. Many of the skilled and semi-skilled workers make large wages here, in some cases the expert rollers making $25.00 per day. This news which is being sent broadcast back to the South front which so many of the laborers have recently come, is expected to bring thousands of others of the Race to Gary, where there is now a Colored population of 6,000. It is said that there is a job waiting for hundreds of men at the present time. The David Glueck Reality. Co., a half-million concern half of which is to be controlled by a group of Colored men of whom Attorney Wm. E. Hueston, of Kansas City, is the head, is straining every nerve to provide homes for the newcomers. This company bids fair to be one of the biggest commercial enterprises of the Race.

DYER'S INDORSEMENT OF GOV -LOWDEN FAILS It was quite embarrassing for the Negro delegates who attended the Twelfth Congressional Convention to throw a discord into the very harmonious session that prevailed during the election of the delegates to the National Convention a few days ago in this city. In offering a resolution to indorse Governor Lowden, we assume that Mr. Tyer acted in good faith and was ignorant of the fact that Lowden was objectionable to the Negroes because of the position he took during the East St. Louis massacre. But he is guilty of the sin of omission because he could have so easily found out how the large group of his constituency felt toward the Illinois Governor. The same thing is likely to happen on any occasion when the party leaders attempt to force upon the Negro men who may be objectionable to them for very good reasons. However, such embarrassment should never happen and the safest way to prevent it is for the party leaders to take some representative Negroes into the party-councils. Men whose hearts boat Negro thoughts and whose sympathies are in accord with Negro suffering. That is the one great reason why the Citizens' Liberty League is contending for representation in the party councils. The thoughtful among race have foreseen the danger, and they are daily trying to help to keep harmony in the Republican ranks. The party leaders think that the Negro will support any man whom they may select and call him a good fellow. But the time has come when the Negro shall refuse to support such men as Governor Lowden, regardless of who brings him out.

In making this appointment, Chairman Hays stated that he thought it right and just that this-particular group should be represented because "a more loyal group to the Republican Party cannot be found in this country, not can a more loyal group to the Nation be found." Such a statement, coming from Mr. Hays at this time, backed up by action, is quite encouraging to fifteen million Negroes in America. We are willing to leave the fate of the race in the hands of those upon whom this honor has fallen. And we look forward with fond anticipation that there will be a remarkable change in the status of the Negro in this country when the G. O. P. gets in power State and municipal high officials of the Republican Party will do well to follow the example set by Mr. Hays and take a few Negroes into their party councils. We haven't the time nor space to fight the Negroes who differ with our views. We think we are right and shall endeavor to convince the other fellow that we are as long as he will listen to reason. Some people can well afford to stay out of factional fights. For an instance, the wife of the principal of our high school. Among the new strong recruits who have entered the ranks of the Citizens' Liberty League during the past week are Rev. George E. Stevens, pastor Central Baptist Church; Rev. J. K. Parker, pastor Pleasant Green Baptist Church, and Rev. Karl Dollman, pastor of Jones Chapel A. M. E. Church. The people are with the movement, and it is high time to let the people know where their leaders stand. 2. Are you a Christian woman* If so, this means you.

C.—The key to the whole question of the relations between the white and the colored races is held by the Southern white man," said G. D. Crawford, of Cornell, Ga. chairman of the committee on race relationships, in submitting his report to the North Carolina Club of the University of North Carolina, which is the working out a campus plan of State reorganization following the lead of Governor Bickitt's State reconstruction commission. "If there is one word which explains the basis of all hope in race relationship," continued Chairman Crawford in his report, "that word is justice. It is the supreme need of the race situation, justice in the court room, justice in education, justice in living conditions, justice in every detail toward the Negro. Social equality is not sought by the type of Negro in the South, but without justice progress of any sort is difficult if not impossible." The relation between the races is better in North Carolina than in any other Southern State except possibly Virginia, according to Dr. E. C. Banson. "The basis of the splendid relations that exist between white people and colored people in Virginia, the fact that in Virginia more than in any other State the colored people own their homes and farms. So long as the Negro farmer is homeless, he will be shiftless. In Virginia 67 out of every 100 Negro farmers own their farms. In thirteen counties every Negro farmer in Hill is another instance. The relations between white and colored here has always been excellent. Examine the records and you will find that of the colored men above twenty one years of age, seven out of every ten own their homes. The street-way to develop a road of reason is essential to help them get away from the tenant system." Now, the country will comment on the results of the Lincoln League convention. There will be praise and there will be some criticism. There may be an attempt at a "rump convention" or two. The promoters of the League must be prepared for any event, and above all must make themselves known by the people. Impression by the people. Consensus criticism cannot be objected to, and should be welcomed, but petty faults finding in detestable, and should be avoided. Leonard Wood SAYS "I stand for the ROOSEVELTIAN SQUARE DEAL.
