Vol. 4, No. 16 Profess LILY CONVENTION OF WALKER AGENTS IN N.J.Y. CLOSES New York City-One of the most unique meetings witnessed in all the history of New York was the 8th Annual Convention of Walker Agents just closed at the Abyssinian Baptist Church. Three hundred and seventy-five delegates from almost every state and from three foreign countries were registered. The convention opened Wednesday morning, August 13th at 10 a.m. with a song and scripture reading led by the Convention Chaplain Rev. J. S. Jenkins of Dallas Texas. On the above-mentioned evening a brilliant program was rendered at which time welcome addresses were made by Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, Hon. Fred R. Moore, Editor of the New York Age, Mrs. M. C. Lawton, President, Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs and Mr. Thomas E. Taylor, Executive Secretary, New York Young Men's Christian Association. Musical numbers were rendered by Mme. Alice Frazier Robinson, Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, Miss Olive Hopkins and Messrs. L. Lloyd Hickman and Chauneyce Northern. Attorney Robert Lee Brokenburr of Indianapolis, Ind., spoke on Mme. C. J. Walker,"A Victory and a Prophecy"; Mrs. Mae Walker Jackson and Attorney F. B. Ransom, General Manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker Co., spoke on the progress of the company and awarded $1,650 in cash prizes to agents leading in special work during the year. Various features of entertainment were furnished the delegates by the Mme. C. J. Walker Agents' Association of New York City, a dance and reception on Friday evening at the beautiful Renaissance Casino and the moonlight ride on the picturesque Hudson River on Saturday evening. Epochal in its importance, historical for its uniqueness and singular for its impressiveness was the pilgrimage made by those delegates and friends who swelled the number to 400, to the grave of Mme. C. J. Walker at Woodhaven Cemetery where memorial ceremonies were conducted, tributes paid Mme. Walker and wreaths placed upon her grave. The occasion was indeed significant for it was another proof that our group honors its living and reverens its dead. The Eighth Annual National Convention of Mme. C. J. Walker agents goes down as a milestone in Afro-American business life and is memorable for its large attendance and good work accomplished. ATTORNEY JAS. T. CARTER RE-ELECTED TREASURER OF ELKS Attorney James T. Carter, president of the Southern Aid Society and head of the Commercial Bank and Trust Company, of Richmond, Va., was re-elected Grand Treasurer of the I. B. P. O. S. of W. at their recent convention in Pittsburgh, Pa. Attorney Carter has held this important office for a number of years. Each year because of the efficiency of his office in handling the funds of the order, he is re-elected practically without any opposition. Attorney Carter is one of the most successful business men in Virginia. The Washington Tribune ROBERT R. CHURCH KICKED OFF STATE COMMITTEE WITHOUT PROVOCATION MME. C. J.

C OFF STATE WITHOUT PR Reports from Tennessee indicate that Republican chances for success in the November elections in that state have suddenly declined. This applies alike to the state and national tickets. Colored Voters Incensed The Republican state organization has capitulated to the demands of the "illy whites" that Negroes be excluded from the party councils. The colored voters are incensed. Unless they are placated immediately, they will bolt the G. O. P. In the 1920 election, Harding and Coolidge carried Tennessee by the scant majority of 13,000 votes. They are now fully 100,000 registered voters in that state. If there is any such defection as is threatened, the electoral votes of Tennessee will be given to John W. Davis as a result of the colored vote being cast for Robert M. LaFollette, independent candidate for President, as a vote of protest against the recent actions of the Republican state organization. Church Ousted The revolt of the colored voters was caused by the recent acts of the Republican state organization and the Republican nominees. At a meeting of the Republican primary board in Nashville, last Wednesday, Robert R. Church of Memphis was unceremoniously put off the Republican state executive committee. Colored Reptublicans openly charge that this was done simply because the "illy whites" of Shelby County demanded it. This deal handed the colored Republicans was so raw that after it had been done, a committee of three was appointed to go to Memphis and make an investigation. Hal H. Clements, candidate for chairman of the Republican state executive committee, led the fight against Church. "Lily Whites" Celebrate On the night previous to the meeting of the Republican state primary board, the "illy whites" held their victory feast. It was to celebrate the final triumph of the "illy whites" of Davidson county, of which Nashville MME. C. J.

Company purchased the northwest corner of North Street, West Street and Indiana Avenue for the sum of $58,000.

C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1924 is the county seat, in their obtaining a county committee which had no Negroes on it. The speakers at the banquet included H. B. Lindsay, Republican candidate for the United States Senate; T. F. Peck, Republican candidate for governor of Tennessee; Hal H. Clements, candidate for chairman of the Republican state executive committee, and J. Will Taylor, Republican National Committeeman for Tennessee and a member of Congress from the second Tennessee congressional district. Although the meeting had been widely advertised as a "victory feast for the lily whites," not one of these speakers, who are the leaders of the Republican party in Tennessee, dared to raise his voice in protest against the exclusion of colored Republicans from the party councils. Then on the following day Bob Church was put off the committee, the Republican organization completely surrendering to the demands of the "lily whites" of Shelby county, who packed the Republican county convention last April with Ku Klux Klansmen in an attempt to intimidate colored Republicans but failed miserably when a bloody fight ensued. The reaction nationally to the treatment of Church by the Republican state organization of Tennessee has not yet made itself known, but it is expected to have a direct influence upon the attitude of colored voters toward the Republican party in the coming election. Bob Church is nationally known. He is admired for his frank and unequivocal stand on all matters. He has been named by Chairman William T. Butler of the Republican National Committee as a member of the advisory committee, of which C. Bascom Slemp is the chairman. Yet the Republican state organization of Tennessee abruptly puts him off the state executive committee for no other reason than that he is colored and the "ily whites" demand an all-white state organization. WALKER COMPANY FOR SITE OFRY BUILDING six points. On this valuable corner passed daily by thousands of people, the Madam C. J. Walker Company will erect in the near future a new administration and factory building. Plans are now being prepared and from some of the proposed features, it is to be the most beautiful and by far the best appointed building of its kind in the world today. Neither brains nor money, we learn, will be spared to make it equal to the growing needs of the Walker Company and another fitting monument to the memory of the late Madam C. J. Walker. ES GIVEN MISSIONS IS CHIEF TOPIC AT BIG CONVENTION The Twenty Seventh Annual Session of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society, convened Wednesday morning, September 3, at the Second Baptist Church, with one of the largest delegation in the history of the society present. The convention remained in session through Friday evening when the final services were held in the auditorium of Dunbar High School. While the ministers were holding their convention at Second Baptist Church, the Women's Auxiliary of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society were holding theirs at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. The reports of the various officers of the Society as well as those of its various departments, showed that the society is doing more in the field of missions now than possibly any other such organization. The work of the society now extends into all fields, including Africa, South America and the isles of the sea. Three sessions a day were held at which time some very interesting talks were delivered and many enlightening papers read. Among those who spoke before the society were: Rev. C. S. Brown, President of the Society; Rev. I. Heprash, of East Orange, N. J.; Dr. William H. Stokes, Richmond, Va.; Dr. J. H. Moore, Charlotte, N.C.; Dr. W. B. Crawford, of the Youghiogheny Association of Pennsylvania; Dr. A. A. Graham, Corresponding Secretary of the Society; Prof. Nelson William, Jr., Richmond, Va.; Dr. G. E. Read, Covington, Va.; Dr. W. T. Johnson, Richmond, Va.; Dr. F. W. Williams, Norfolk, Va.; Dr. Richard Carroll, Columbia, S.C.; Mrs. F. B. Watson Rev. and Mrs. G. A. Burke; Dr. J. Edmund Wood, Danville, Ky, and others. Practically all of the Baptist churches of the District joined in entertaining the convention. Many delegates expressed themselves as being entirely pleased with the way the nation's capital received them. In addition to the entertainment given the delegates by the convention, there were many private affairs given by relatives and friends of many of the delegates. A number of prominent Baptist Clergymen were attracted here by the convention. Former Washington Teacher Dead Word was received here this week of the death of Mrs. Alice Johnson Williams, wife of Dr. H. Williams, noted surgeon, at her late residence, 145 E. 42nd Street, Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Williams passed away at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, August 30th. Mrs. Williams had been in poor health for over a year. She was born in Washington and after finishing her course in the public schools, taught here for several years. She married Dr. Williams while he was Surgeon-in-Chief at Freedmen's Hospital in 1897. Both Mr. and Mrs. Williams were well known here where they have a host of friends and relatives. NEW LEADERSHIP IS PARAMOUNT TO RACIAL SUCCESS. NEW BLOOD NEEDED The greatest menace to the Negro race today is its "professional political leaders." This group is more responsible for the present state of backwardness in politics which is so evident now than any other. For years this bunch of selfish and corrupt leaders have held a death-like grip on the throat of the aspiring and progressive Negro and have thwarted the ambition politically and economically of 15,000,000 of their own flesh and blood. The net result of the activities of this group as shown by a review of achievements for a period covering 25 years or more, have been simply this: from a representative group of Negroes in Congress, we have lost all we like to call our own; from elective offices which we won with ease two generations ago, we are today denied even the right to hold appointive offices that require Senatorial confirmation. During this same period we have had our rights under the Civil Service abused and are denied positions of responsibility regardless of our ability to fill them. As to political accomplishments during this same period, the Negro cannot point to a single thing. The race has simply suffered a series of losses without a single political gain. For such results there certainly should be some causes. The answer is plain and simple: "Professional Political leadership." We apparently select our leaders for what they fail to do rather than for what they have accomplished, or perhaps we do not select at all, thereby permitting our leaders, like Topsy, just to grow up. Struggling under the handicap of ignorance, the masses of Negroes 25 years ago readily accepted as leaders those among them who were fortunate enough to have an education. This immediately threw the burden of leadership on our preachers, who were the first of the educated groups; school teachers, who were second; and our professional men who came third. These groups also stand in the same order in point of numbers. Therefore, when the vote was given the Negro, it was natural that out of these three groups we developed our present day "professional political leaders." Professional Political Leaders A professional political leader is a person, in most cases not elected to the position he holds and is without any real power with the masses of people but through his cunningness and trickery gets the white political leaders to recognize him and deal with his race only through him. In some cases these professional political leaders are selected for certain positions and because of the prominence of these positions, they take advantage of the situation and assume unto themselves the right to lead or represent the Negro race in any other endeavor they may find profitable. Outwardly these leaders are working in the interest of their race, but Office: 920 U St., N.W. Stumbling P. IN T HIP IS PARA- CIAL SUCCESS. OD NEEDED inwandly they are working 24 hours a day for themselves and against what they know to be the best interest of the race. Through various schemes this class of leaders keep in with their own people. One effective way of keeping in used by these leaders is by having a retinue of henchmen who they place in jobs of various kind as a reward for doing their (the leaders') bidding. While at the same time they keep in with the whites by doing anything all the way from valet service to whatever else is demanded of them. Since 1895 this professional group of leaders have grown in numbers and lost in character. The whites recognize these men as leaders because they play an important role in their plan to keep the Negro in his so-called place and prevent any rational demands being made for a proper share in the government. One must not think however that all of our political leaders have been on now are corrupt. Indeed, we have had quite a few men as well as women who have labored in the interest of the race, but this type of leadership is fought very bitterly by certain classes of white because they are not anxious to see this type of leadership flourish. Therefore the professional political leaders have been given a clear field for practically the past 25 years. Up to and including McKinley's administration, Negroes held many highly important offices, both in the Federal Government and in various states including several northern states. Federal office holding practically reached its peak under President McKinley. Owing to the many deaths during the period between 1895 to 1902, the race lost many of its earlier leaders including the great Frederick Douglass. Therefore, practically a new leadership assumed charge. This leadership was not as courageous as that of the generation before. It lacked in many instances the ruggedness of character, the willingness to sacrifice for a principal and above all, it lacked honesty. With the death of McKinley came Roosevelt. While many Negroes rank Roosevelt next to Lincoln, the results obtained by the leaders under his administration certainly do not justify the high rank given him. Unlike McKinley, Roosevelt refused to appoint Negroes to several important positions in the South. From Georgia where the race held five big Federal offices, Roosevelt cut them down to two. In Louisiana, the race got only two important positions. In a few other southern states the race got one or two mostly minor positions. A a whole, the race began to lose out in both Federal and state jobs under Mr. Roosevelt's administration. When Taft came in in 1909 he made his position clear that we would not appoint Negroes to Federal offices in the South where the appointment was objectional to the whites. This policy Mr. Taft carried out, but he did ap- (Continued on page 6) ADERS. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. V. Price 5 Cents g Block TENN. ATT'Y M'GILL WINS OWN CASE BEFORE FLORIDA COURTS (By George E. Taylor) Jacksonville, Florida, Aug. 4—Because of the general importance of a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Florida, in which cause the contending parties on one side was a prominent white attorney and on the other side were Negrees, your correspondent elects to give the public the benefit of the facts in the case, which are in substance as follows: In June 1919, A. W. Cockrell, Jr., a prominent white lawyer of this city, instituted suit against S. D. McGill, a prominent Negro lawyer of this city and his wife, to recover what he claimed to be a reasonable fee for legal services rendered in a previous suit. In fact, two suits were filed against the McGills, one on the Law Chancery side. Each suit was for twenty thousand dollars. The original suit in which Attorney Cockrell was employed by the McGills, involved certain large real estate holdings in Jacksonville, alleged to be worth over a hundred thousand dollars. The McGills refused to pay the fee charged, on the grounds that the amount was unreasonable, unjust and unfair. When the Chancery suit was heard before the Circuit Judge the Court's findings were in favor of the white attorney, giving him a lien on all of the real estate held by the McGills and directing that same be sold to satisfy Attorney Cockrell's claim of twenty thousand dollars, the fee claimed. Atorney McGill, being dissatisfied with the Judgment of the Court, appealed the case and on April 7th, 1921, the Supreme Court dismissed the bill against the McGills on the ground that there was no equity in it. The case at Law was next heard by the lower Court and the findings, like that of the case in Chancery, were in favor of Attorney Cockrell (white), for over fourteen thousand dollars including interest. From this judgment Attorney McGill, promptly appealed to the Supreme Court of Florida, and the Supreme Court recently reversed the Circuit Judge on the ground that the verdict was excessive and unreasonable. The whole case has just been settled by the payment of five thousand dollars by the McGills, who offered the contending white lawyer seven thousand five hundred dollars before he instituted the suit for twenty thousand dollars. A noticeable feature of these cases brought by a white lawyer against the McGills, is that the Judge before whom the cases were tried, made dozens of Orders before and after the trial of the cases, covering a period of over ten years, and every Order was directly against the Negro defendants (McGills). On the other hand, every decision made by the Supreme Court of Florida, was in favor of the McGills. The legal adage that, "He who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client,' failed to apply in these cases, for Attorney McGill was compelled to be his own lawyer because it was (Continued on page 3) See Page 3 LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Three-fourths of the mistakes a man makes are made because he does not really know the thing he thinks he knows.

"If the proposed World Series between colored clubs of the East and West does not materialize in 1924, you may put it down that it will not be due to any obstacle placed in the way by me," quoted the leader of the Hilldale team. "As has been my policy during the fifteen years that I have guided the Philadelphia team and been identified with the game, I feel that the fans must be considered at all times and now, as never before is there a clamor for a meeting between the winners of the East and West. "Constant delving into the past and airing maters in which the public is little interested, will never be the means of solving the baseball situation among colored baseball clubs. Many conditions that now exist must be eradicated and a pact effected between the East and West before colored baseball may be rightfully termed a staple business enterprise." Formed for Better Baseball "The formation of the Eastern Colored League, in which I took an active part, was for the express purpose of assuring the fans along the Atlantic Coast of better baseball. Not claiming an overnight triumph or attempting to convince that the league has been perfected, the fact remains that the six clubs that formed the circuit in 1923 went through the entire season and voted to increase the league to an eight club body for the present year. Anxiety to please the fans in the respective cities, urged each owner to get a club that would stand up, accordingly the Eastern owners went far in search of talent that would appeal to the local fandom. Will Waive $1,000 Deposit "The player question, however was not the seat of the trouble between the Hilldale Club and the Negro National League, but the fact that our deposit of good faith to the amount of One Thousand Dollars has been retained by the Western body, since in 1923. This matter, of course, did not set well with our organization and lither-to we were not in any mood to compromise. However, the matter, when compared to public opinion is very trivial and I, personally am far removed from standing in the way of popular sentiment. If any club in the Eastern Circuit has an axe to grind it is ours. There is a possibility that we may not win the Eastern championship, this, however does not alter my stand in the matter of a World Series. You may put it down that I am waiting on the sections of our commission and the advances from the West. The East will concede to the wishes of the fans." GODFREY CONFIDENT OF DISPOSING OF RENAULT Philadelphia, Sept. 5—A heavyweight bout, which in the eyes of fans is second only to the Luis Firpo-Harry Wills battle in Jersey City, will be fought at the Phillies' ball park on the night of September 8, when Jack Renault, Canada's hope, and George Godfrey, Philadelphia's colored entry, clash for ten rounds. Either Renault or Godfrey will step into the picture as the logical challenger of the winner of the Firpo-Wills bout. Should Renault sidetrack Godfrey he has been promised a chance against either Firpo or Wills. The same condition holds good for Godfrey. Godfrey already has started training for what he considers the most important/bout of his career. He is stepping through daily training spaces at Jim Daugherty's Ridley Park camp. The dark-skinned, heavyweight has surrounded himself with three heavyweight sparring partners and is confident that he will eliminate Remark from the picture as a contender for Dempsey's crown. TRIBUNE SPORTS EDITOR TO COVER FIGHT H. Scott, sports editor of the Tribune, will cover the Wills-Firpo fight for local-readers in next week's paper. In his usual interesting style, Mr. Scott will give Tribune Readers a different ring-side viewpoint than that gotten from the daily press which in nearly every instance is prejudiced toward the Race boxers. Society Enjoys Seeing Wills Train Southhampton society folk are attending the daily afternoon work-outs of Harry Wills. One sees smartly dressed society women unaccompanied by male escorts, sitting around smoking cigarettes and watching the big fighter go through his strenuous training. He has made a good impression with the colonists and Capt. Jones has received several hundred requests for seats for the big bout mostly from people who had never seen a boxer until they saw Wills. The colonists never had an amusement of its kind before. At the outset they were against Capt. Jones allowing a fighter to train at his place, but Wills has conducted himself so that those who originally opposed his invasion now seem to enjoy watching him train. Wills took a walk of ten miles this morning. After a light breakfast he lolled around on the porch, talking to his manager, Paddy Mullins, until lunch. At 3:30 he went to the Casino for his usual training. He realizes that condition is everything, and a victory over Firpco means a Dempsey fight with a great gate and possibly the heavyweight title, therefore he is leaving no stone unturned to get in perfect shape. FLOWERS SCORES K. O. Wheeling, W. Va., September 2— Tiger Flowers of Atlanta, Ga., scored a technical knockout over Tut Jackson of Washington Court House, Ohio, in the eighth round of a scheduled 10-round bout at Legua Park, Martins Ferry, Ohio, last night. WATCH ST. PAUL'S ELEVEN Around the C. I. A. A., the word has gone out to watch Coach Douglas' St. Paul football team. Unless things go wrong, only one veteran will be lost at the Lawrenceville school this fall. The long waited for opportunity of local fans to see the "wonder team" will come on October 11, when Howard tackles the Virginians. HERE IS A CHANCE FOR_MORE HOUSE ALUMNI The Alumni, students and patrons of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga., are working hard selling football season tickets for the four home games. The season tickets are being sold to meet the immediate obligations of constructions grandstand which will fulfill a long felt need at Morehouse College. The students and players are happy to know that Prof. D. T. Harvey, for eight years Director of Athletics and Coach, will lagain be on the job assisted by Prof. C. E. Warner. The aspirants of rthe team who are in the city for the summer, began this week to work out Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons at 5:30 p.m. Morehouse College football team probably fares the hardest schedule yet tackled. ONE GAME NEEDED BY VETERANS BUREAU TO CLINCH DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE FLAG A new champion of the Departmental League will quite likely be crowned this week. One victory stands between the Veterans Bureau nine and the league pennant. The race will in all probability be decided Friday afternoon when the vets and the Government Printing office nines hook up. The main cog in the Veterans Bureau's success has been Harrison Parker. Parker has perhaps seen more service than any other local pitcher. Still his work this year has been the feature of the league race. His best performance was to shut out the hard-hitting Treasury nine with two lone hits. Parker formerly played with the Baltimore Black Sox and any number of local independent clubs.

Recent developments tend to show that we were all wrong last week in predicting that a series between the East and West was improbable. Rube Foster, through his mouthpiece, Frank Young, sports editor of the Chicago Defender, has come forward acknowledging defeat but hoping for better luck. The "egotistical Rube" is willing to have the Western pennant winner play the Eastern winner provided this section terminates now and forever its player-raid in the West. Great work, Rube. You are beginning to think. But why did it take you two years to see that the East was gradually causing your downfall? Had you sponsored such idea last year, it is probable that Mrs. Taylor would not have been forced out of baseball. Closely following Rube's published anxiety comes Ed Bolden, backed by his Commissioners, forward with a statement that the East is willing to meet the West and only awaits a formal challenge from the latter section. The East will demand that the first three clubs share the spoils. The issue is put up to the "egotistical Rube." Will he sense the situation, forget his false pride and save those players for his circuit that are certain to come East in future years? The East has nothing to lose—it can wait on the West. If a compromise is not forthcoming this year, more than one club of Bolden's circuit will be strengthened by the addition of Western players. Foster can put a stop to this exodus. The fans of the country are awaiting the announcement that the Western League has officially challenged the Eastern League for a championship baseball series.

POTOMACS DROP A PAIR TO BROOKLYN FARMERS BROOKLYN FARMERS New York, Sept. 1.—Playing real baseball, the Farmers—trounced the Washington, Potomac in both games of their double-header at Farmers' Oval yesterday afternoon. With Lou Seaman, the little southpaw, on the mound, the Farmers won the early game by a score of 10 to 5. They captured the second affair after a hard battle by a margin of 8 runs to 6. Harry Mackin of the Farmers had a profitable afternoon at the bat. This young man made no less than six hits in the two games. "Red" Shannon, formerly of the Philadelphia Athletics, made five hits, while in the second game Ben Taylor of the Potomac, hammered out a pair of singles, a double and a home run.

Southpaw Pud Flournoy was the Giants' choice for mound duty and gave a good exhibition except that that he made a couple of the too good for Winters and Bizz Mackey, with the result that Winters drove one out of the park for the first score of the game in the third inning and Mackey duplicated the performance with a four ply smash in the eighth frame.

Teddy Bears vs. St. Cyprians, FOOTBALL CLASSIC TO BE PLAYED AT NATIONAL CAPITAL Announcement on behalf of the Howard University was recently made by Dr. Emmett J.| Scott, business manager of Howard Board of Athletic Control, that the Howard-Lincoln Football game will be played at the American League Park, Washington, D.C., on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27th, 1924, at two o'clock in the afternoon. This decision brings to a close very lively competition between New York City, Atlantic City, Baltimore, and Washington as the place where the next "Football Classic of the Year" shall be played. It is the intention to place tickets on sale early in September, orders having already been given for printing the entire reserved sections of the American League Park, including boxes and grand-stand seats. Elaborate precautions are being taken to see that each and every patron of the game is assured the best possible treatment. Ample police protection has been promised, and in addition, sufficient ushers and ticket takers will be provided, thereby facilitating the handling of the crowd. The Howard University and Lincoln University authorities are working in exact accord that the coming game may be attended by every feature which will add greater interest and attractiveness to the game. WANT FIRST AND SECOND CLURS TO SHARE RECEIPTS The Commissioners of the Mutual Association met at the Y.M.C.A. building in Philadelphia, Saturday, August 30th. Chairman Edward Bolden, Jim Keenan, Nat C. Strong, Alex Pompez, Tom Jackson, Ben Taylor, Charlie Spedden and Colonel Strothers, comprising the entire board, composed the gathering. The matter of adjusting the schedule to take care of several postponed games in order that the quota of 70 games for each club be played out. However, the conclusion was reached and it was finally concluded that the league season would officially close September 30th. They took up the umpire situation which has been handled individually by the respective club owners in the past. Although many competent arbitrators are employed through-out the Eastern Circuit, the lack of unity, not working under direct supervision and the same umpires appearing at the same parks week after week has been the cause of general dissatisfaction and despite the efforts of owners and officials, the umpires have been branded as "homers," not in any particulair city but throughout the entire circuit. As the present season is far spent, the matter was not acted upon, but in all probability the fans will see rotating umpires in the Eastern Circuit next season. Since public sentiment has urged the playing of a World series between the winners of the East and West, the Commissioners discussed the matter and want the fans to know how they feel about the situation. To begin with, the series can be played so far as the East is concerned, providing it is run on a popular basis by which the clubs that are runners-up will share the melon as well as the pennant winners in both leagues. The present method pursued by the heads of the Western body in circulating ceaseless propoganda attempting to rattle the time-worn skeleton in the closet, will never bring the desired results. The East is mindful of its duty to the public and is waiting on business advances from the West. The Vermont Avenue nine is managed by Jack Coles. Gibson is cap tain of the aggregation. It is com posed of many youngsters. MID-NITE SHOW FRIDAY ORDER SEATS THE TEMPLE OF THE SILENT ART Phone N. 7255 7th St., at P, N.W.

FANS REMEMBER PETTUS LOST GAME HERE William Pettus, the former star ball player, who died in New York on August 22, played his last game before Washington fans last year while managing the Harrisburg Giants. Short of men, Pettus covered the first sack while here. In one game he got four hits, one being a triple. After connecting for the triple Pettus was so nearly exhausted that Manager Taylor waived all rules and allowed him a runner every time he got on the sacks. He had played with the Lincoln Giants, Hilldale and Royals and had managed the Richmond and Harrisburg Giants. MARYLAND WHITE SOX STILL WINNING The Maryland White Sox motored to Warrenton (Va.) last Thursday and defeated the Warrenton Tigers, 10-3. The Sox followed this up with a 16-8 win over the Rockville Giants at Laurel Saturday. Gilmore after a two weeks absence had the Tigers at his mercy. Glover pitched splendidly against the Giants. The Sox have games with the Fredericksburg Giants, Acme Club of Lakeland and Catonsville All-Stars, booked for next week. The Sox won 35 games and lost 6. For games with the Sox, address J. Robinson, Box 382, Brentwood, Md. FOUR FOOTBALL RULES CHANGED THIS FALL As has been the case since football rules were so radically changed back in the winter of 1905-06, when the forward pass and 10-yard rule were adopted, the rules committe made a few alterations in the code at its annual session in New York last winter. In fact four radical changes were made and all are expected to work for the best interests of the game. Rule Out Mud Tees One of the most important points adopted was the abolition of all mud or artificial kicking tees. This rule will laply on the kick-off and try for goal from field. No tee of any kind will be permitted on the kick-off. The ball will be booted from the center of the field and not from the 40-yard line as was the case in former years. Less Time Out In order to speed up the games, the committee made a new ruling that each team will be permitted to call for time out four times in each half without penalty. If time is called for after the fourth occasion, a 5-yard penalty will be inflicted instead of 2, as was the case in former years. Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25£ at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.

Name St. Add City State This Common Saves You Money—Use It Today The other serious change pertains to the try for point after a touchdown. In former years, the scoring team was permitted to place the ball on the opposing team's five-yard line or any place farther back. This year the ball may be placed on the three-yard line, which is expected to encourage rushing or forward passing instead of kicking, as was the case last year. Still another change which has caused some confusion in the past is one pertaining to an ineligible player being struck by a forward pass. If such a player is struck by the ball a member of the defending team may catch the ball before it strikes the ground and be entitled to whatever ground he gains. Revolver for Timer Revolver for Timer The field judge or the official who keep time will be compelled to carry a gun, which he will fire to denote the termination of a quarter or game. It also was vetoed that no other official other than the referee carry a whistle. Members of the committee engaged in a hot debate regarding the abolition of the rule regarding the flying tackle, which carries a five-yard penalty but it was voted to let the rule remain in the book. A number of other changes were made in the wording of rules often misinterpreted. ROAMER A. C. OUT FOR BIG YEAR IN FOOTBALL The Roamer A. C. of Alexandria Va., met on Wednesday night and formulated plans for the coming football season. Officers and men have all set out to make this one of their biggest fooball years.

You have long wanted to see more signs of progress there and you will not look in vain. It may not be generally known but it is a fact that more than $135,000.00 worth of lots have been sold in this beautiful park with its broad boulevard named for the Greatest of Americans—Lincoln; its well-laid out streets and lovely building sites. About 130 lots have been deeded and other deeds are now in the process of preparation. The Imagine a picture ten times better than your favorite Swanson to date. Imagine Gloria more stirringly dramatic, more daringly gowned than ever. But you can't imagine it. But if you see "Womanhood" you'll know it's true. Writing advertising copy for "Womanhood" is easy. The sky's the limit. If we used every superlative in the dictionary, nobody could call the ad misleading.—"Womanhood" makes good. property is hardly one-third sold. But the thing that will interest owners of lots in Douglass Park and prospective purchasers and home owners is to see the new houses being erected there. One new house will be under roof this week and another has the foundation dug and the material ready to go ahead. Others are contemplating building soon. The houses are beautiful and all the appointments thereto are such as you would expect to find in any first-class community.

No community goes forward except by its home builders and the ownership of homes. The new $30,000.00 nine months' graded school for colored within 450 feet of Douglass Park, now nearing completion, is indeed wonderful but there is nothing quite so wonderful as the establishing of a new home. Try it and feel the thrill! Glorious Gloria is alluring, daringly gowned and stirringly dramatic in her greatest picture—"Womanhood." What more need be said. The story concerns a girl's reputation—if it's manhandled too much, it loses its value and has to be marked down to bargain prices.

A special bargain matinee—admission 10c—except Sundays and holidays—is given every day from 3 to 5 p.m. Many women have brought back the latest styles from Paris.

Church, carries this heading: "African Methodist Bishop says support Coolidge." A bishop of a great church is stooping far below the dignity of his office when he belittles himself to the extent of dabbling in politics. It is the bishop's duty and high privilege to instruct the people of his diocese in the eternal principles of righteousness. His injunction is considered with respect and there is a desire to conform thereto. But when he oversteps his authority he opens the floodgates of unfavorable criticism and lowers the high esteem of the people. It is the grafting, grinning hypocrite of a minister, seeking the loaves and fishes of political fleshpots, that causes many persons to lose confidence in the man and the religion that he purports to uphold. "By their fruits ye shall know them," carries its line of demarkation today, even more than when it was uttered by the Master. The political activities of many of our ministers and the small price they place on their supposed "service" rendered the party from which they obtain money, has done as much as anything else to lessen the Negro's power in politics. Our ministers, because of their point of vantage, as leaders of the best life of our people, are under tremendous obligations to be true to the fundamental principles of life and righteousness. Leave the playing of politics to other men or have the courage to step down from the high position that you are supposed to fill. The worth while life of any community is built around the home, the shop, the school and the church, backed up by the state. These are the institutions of our political, social, industrial, educational and religious life. The minister should be the champion of righteous principles in all of them. Bishop Johnson went a step too far. COOLIDGE ANSWERS THROUGH SLEMP C. Bascom Slemp, erstwhile lily white barterer of political jobs in Virginia, now secretary to the President, answered a letter to the President, in which was asked the President's views on the Ku Klux Klan. Mr. Scretary Slemp said that the President was against the Klan. Recently the President took great pride in publishing his answer to a man in Hamilton, N.Y., concerning a Negro running for a political position in New York. He took the opportunity to parade views which he has failed to back up with action. He failed however, to answer the letter from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, asking his position toward the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana. He failed to answer this recent letter from the news agency of the Jews in New York City, but Mr. Slemp answered it purporting to state how the President felt in the matter. That within itself is an example of weakness. The President is a candidate for re-election and the people have a right to know his position on any issue that is before them in the campaign. The Klan issue is a big factor in the Maine election which will be held next week. The President's candidate for Governor has the backing of the Klansmen. The Democratic candidate for Governor has denounced the Klan. The President is playing safe, as he thinks, by remaining silent on the issue. Very few people will be satisfied to accept Mr. Slemp's statement of the views of the President; and especially those who know of his political chicanery and lily white tendencices, which are tantamount to Klan principles. The President should have a stronger spokesman, in whom the people have confidence; or, better yet, why should he not speak for himself, as all the other candidates have frankly spoken?

I am frank to say that most of our papers and journals seem to be tools for special individuals, or groups of individuals, in carrying out selfish purposes, but such is not the case with your paper. The corruption in politics in this country needs to be exposed, and, must be exposed if we desire to get back on the foundation laid by the forefathers. There is corruption in all the parties and the question comes to the honest thinker, which Party is less infected with corruption. I recently returned from a trip far East, visiting many of the large cities, also taking in sceneries around Niagara Falls and have been careful to note the political trend of thought, and found that all groups are much confused and wondering what course is best to pursue. Very truly yours, New Leadership is Paramount (Continued from page 1) point Negroes to a number of places but the total number was less than what the race had been given before.

SHERROD, Meredian, Miss., July 29. leadership continued to urge the support of the party without reservation, because it was the party of Lincoln. In the electio nof 1912 there was a mild revolt against the Republican Party because of its desertion of the Negro. A number of men advocated the supporting of Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic nominee. Mr. Wilson, during his campaign, made a bid for the Negro vote and received a delegation headed by William Monroe Trotter of Boston at his home in Princeton, N.J., and made promises to them. However, when he came into office, he quickly, for party reasons, forgot these solemn promises. During his administration the Negro got less rec- --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBONE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1924 Rest All substance eventually yields to the inevitable; each human must rest from his earthly labors, leaving in his wake the cherished memories of sorrowing relatives and friends.

It is a perfected art with us. A Complete Funeral for $100 John T. Rhines & Co. Funeral Directors & Embalmers 901 3rd Street, S.W. Private Ambulance Phone, Franklin $108 ognition than under any President since the emancipation. The only Federal office given Negroes under Wilson was the re-appointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell in Washington and a Minister to the Republic of Liberia. When Warren G. Harding came into office, the Negro leadership which was now disorganized because of the eight lean years, looked for a revival of conditions as they were under Roosevelt at least. But, Mr. Harding absolutely refused to give the race anything like due consideration. Under his administration the race reached its lowest ebb in prestige and officeholding under a Republican President. Calvin Coolidge has now been in office over one year and there has been no change whatever from the Harding policy of isolation either in his attitude or his actions. While the race lost prestige and jobs each year since 1900, its leaders, as a whole have always done all they could to keep the Negro cheerful so he would overlook the cheating hand that was robbing him of his very life's blood. These professional political leaders drummed into the heads of the Negro voters that the Rpublican party was the panacea for all their ills. They wore out the saying "don't change horses in the middle of the stream." Each new Republican President is hailed as a new Abraham Lincoln. Instead of urging the race to fight for its rights this leadership bids the Negro wait. This policy of waiting for some person or party to give the race economic relief instead of fighting for it like other races, is the main cause of the race losing so much ground during the past 25 years. As professional political leaders live on charity it is natural they should think a race can progress on charity. The present plight of the race has awakened a large number of the thinking class to the danger that lies ahead unless a general house-cleaning is started and kept up until all the traitors have been banished. With the race on the brink of economic slavery, we find today almost without exception every Negro leader in this country out to sell away his birthright if the Republican party will just let him get near the money pile. These professional leaders are today frantically clamoring for recognition, not for the race, but for themselves. In this group of traitors, for that is what they are, we find some of our noted educators, brilliant lawyers, newspaper editors, business men, teachers and many prominent women. To them the question is: give us recognition and we can keep the Negro vote in line this fall. They are not nearly as anxious about leading the race out of the maze of wilderness of segregation and economic decadence as they are in getting on the speaker's list or of getting a headquarter job or something through which they can establish themselves with the party leaders so if the ticket is victorious, they will be in line for a political appointment. The fact that the Negro is just as much segregated in the Federal Government in all departments in every city as he was under Wilson, will not embarrass them on the stump where they are willing to advocate a man who is pledged to the continuance of such a policy. These professional political leaders can boast of the number of years they have been Republicans and how many conventions they have attended. but they cannot point to a single achievement for the benefit of their race that they were instrumental in getting. Not a law has been passed against wrongs now visited on the backs of 15,000,000 Negroes; during the past generation. The handling of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill by an overwhelmed Republican Congress was an insult to the Negro voters. The raping of Hayti by the U. S. Marines under Harding and Wilson and now under Coolidge is a blot on civilization. The Virgin Islanders are now crying for relief, and a Republican President sends a commission there who made a fine report which seemingly has been pigeonholed. Jimcrowism and the denial of the right of Negroes in the south have been winked at by three Republican Presidents. Segregation in the Government departments is more acute under Coolidge than it was under Wilson. With all these facts thoroughly known to all of our professional leaders, still they are willing to overlook these insults if they are only permitted to get a plum out of the political pie. The crying need of the masses today is relief from this insulting un-American oppression. If the present leadership cannot get this relief, then the race should repudiate this leadership by ignoring its advice and appeal. "Race Loyalty" should be the slogan of every Negro in the coming campaign, regardless of which candidate he interdicts to support. We owe our first allegiance to our race. The downward plunge of the Negro race, in economic and political oblivion must be checked. If new hands are needed, let the race supply them for surely they cannot do any worse. The Negro race must at least regain what it has lost during the last 25 years. New signs now appear on the horizon. We must heed them. Negroes must be elected to responsible offices; these men must be honest, 100 per cent Negro loyal and must be men who are not more concerned about fattening their own pockets than they are of liberating their race from economic and political slavery. COLORED REPUBLICAN WOMEN HOLD EXECUTIVE SESSION The Executive Board of the National League of Republican Colored Women held a session in this city on Saturday. Every state in the Union is represented in this organization, and definite plans for activity in the coming Republican Campaign were laid. Mrs. George S. Williams, who is the National Committee-woman from Georgia, said, in an interview, that in her ten years' activity in politics she has never seen colored people more interested than they are in the present Campaign. The Executive Board took exception to an article written by Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, that appeared in the New York Times of Sunday, August 24. Mr. Miller stated that the Negro woman is apathetic and indifferent and that politicians are planning to "realize on this reservoir of potential political resources." In answer to this charge, the women call attention to their five objectives: First—Select a leadership of character and vision: Second—Enlighten the masses for intelligent action. Third—Put men and measures above parties and pockets. Fourth—Work for legislation for all—rather than bread and butter for a few. Fifth—Repudiate hand-picked leaders. Over ten thousand women are pledgded to work for these objectives. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of this city is the National President, and Mrs. Mary Mossell Griffin of Pennsylvania is Director of the Legislative Bureau. The death of Senator L. B. Colt, of Rhode Island, a Republican of the old guard, adds materially to the uncertainty as to who will be the next President of the United States. Rhode Island now has a Democratic State administration. The present Senator is a Democrat, Senator Gerry, and was elected in 1922. Under the circumstances the Democrats think they have more than fifty-fifty chance to capture Colt's seat. The present Senate has 49 Republicans, 44 Democrats and 2 Farmer-Laborers. If Rhode Island elects a Democrat to finish out Senator Colt's term, which will expire on March 4th, 1925, he will be present in case the election of a Vice-President comes to the Senate. That would give the Democrats 45 votes. The two Farmer-Laborers are with LaFollette, as are six of those listed as Republicans. If they withdraw from the Republicans, as they have in a number of cases, the Democrats of the Senate may elect the next President of the United States. Dark Outlook for Next Congress With 33 Senators coming up for election this fall, the outlook for the Republicans in the 69th Congress, is indeed dark. Of this number, 17 seats are held by the Republicans, have been defeated at the pri-15 by the Democrats and one Farmer-Laborer. Five of the Republicans maries or died. It is possible that three more will be defeated. This gives 8 Republicans that may or may not be elected. There are sixty-three Senators who do not come up for election, this fall, thirty-four are Republicans, twenty-eight Democrats and one Farmer-Laborer. Indications now point to the election of nineteen Democrats and one Farmer-Laborer, that leaves thirteen for the Republicans. With thirty-four Republican Senators not running and thirteen elected, that will give forty-seven Republican Senators for the 69th Congress, beginning March 4, 1925. With twenty-eight Democrats not running and nineteen elected will give forty-seven Democrats for the 69th Congress and the two Farmer-Laborers completes the list of ninety-six. Along with the Republicans are Senators LaFollette, Brookhart, Norris Borah, Ladd and Frazier, who do not line up with the Republicans. Therefore, the outlook for the Republicans is extremely dark for the 69th Congress. In fact, the Democrats are now planning to organize the next Senate, with the assistance of the Progressives. Even if silent Cal, is elected he will have a harder time with Congress for the next two years, at least then he has had with the 68th Congress. A president with an opposition Congress can render little service to the country. The voters should not lose sight of the fact that a new Congress, as well as a President must be elected this fall. DERMIS CURA AGENTS ORGANIZE New York City—Mrs. M. E. Walker, vice-president of Dermis Cura system of Hair and Beauty Culture of Atlanta, Ga., of which Mme. M. Driskell is president and founder, recently made a trip to New York City for the purpose of visiting the large number of Dermis Cura representatives there and in Brooklyn. While there she perfected the organization of the Dermis Cura Club. A meeting was held at the residence of Mrs. Alice Colbert, 2238-7th Avenue. The meeting was enthusiastic throughout. All of the ladies representing Dermis Cura in this section were present and were loud in their praise of the work. Mrs. Walker, the vice-president was very helpful to the club in the way of advising them about how best to make a success of the profession. Mrs. Louise Epps of LaGrange, Ga., a graduate of Dermis Cura system was present at the meeting and made a very helpful talk and brought greetings from the hundreds of Dermis Cura representatives in Georgia. Dermis Cura is nationally known; with thousands of representatives scattered throughout the entire country. The following ladies were elected as officers of the club: Mrs. Alice Colbert, president; Mrs. Lucy Gray, vicepresident; Miss Eunice Redden, secretary; Mrs. Sidney Brown, treasurer. Mrs. Charles Fisher, who has been seriously ill for several weeks is able to be out again. MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A.

Before turning a page they should strive to conceive the first note or more on the bar on the succeeding page. A valuable exercise is the analysis of a composition or piece so that you can begin at any part of it where there will be a natural modulation from the part you have been playing. For instance, after the finale of a piece take up the theme again at some place where the harmony will not be broken by a sudden transition. As the ear is trained and a true musical conception developed the pupil will almost unconsciously read a measure in advance of his playing, and will be agreeably surprised to find that he instinctively strikes the first note before turning the page. The sequence of chords will become a habit because the seed of harmony is growing in the mind. There is always but one right way of doing a thing. Do not deceive Mr. and Mrs. Levi G.

But I have not, I am still thinking of you although I did not get time to write. I will endeavor to answer some of the puzzles and questions this week. Dear Editor: It's been such a long time since I have written you, that I guess you must think I have forgotten you, but I have not forgotten you and the Tribunites. I would like for my motto to be: "Go to school every day." I have written a little gem called "Try Again." I hope that you and all the Tribunites will enjoy it.

Now, with my little gun, I crawl All in the dark along the wall, And follow round the forest track Away behind the sofa back. There, in the night, where none can spy, All in my hunter's camp I lie, And play at books that I have read, Till it is time to go to bed. These are the hills, these are the woods, These are my starry solitudes; And there the river by whose brink The roaring lions come to drink. I see the others far away As if in firelit camp they lay, And I, like to an Indian scout, Around their party prowled about.

The Wills-Firpo fight will be received by radio over a seven-tube loud-speaker set. It will be just like seeing the fight as each blow can be distinctly interpreted by the audience. But instead of waiting for the preliminaries to the big fight to be over a real, amateur bout will be staged. After you have heard Wills knock out Firpo, (maybe), you will be entertained until the wee hours by dancing. Watch for further announcements. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 9, 10 and 11th have been set as the date for a three-day carnival to be held for the benefit of the local colored play ground. This affair will be staged at the playground featuring boottes, and a series of games by the children. The basketry work done by pupils will be on display, the baskets are to be sold. There are to be prizes awarded to the boys and girls for meritious workmanship. Features for the very young folks will be folk and group games. The proceeds from this carnival are to go for increasing the fence fund. The playground is open to vehicular traffic and to pedestrians who thoughtlessly intrude upon the activities of the children. This affair is being managed by a committee of ladies who have shown constant interest in the playground. No admission is charged to attend the carnival.

LOCAL REPUBLICANS IN ROW OVER HEADQUARTERS. A row over who should be in charge was the extemperaneous program given at the opening of the separate headquarters for colored Republicans last Saturday morning. It had been decided that Mrs. Mary Church Terrell should be in charge. She had the endorsement of Miss Eva Chase; but the right of Miss Chase to endorse Mrs. Terrell was brought into question. Miss Chase then changed her attitude toward Mrs. Terrell and led the opposition. Mrs. John Mason Layton took the position that inasmuch as she was the president of the Colored Women's Federation of Clubs it was beneath her dignity to serve under Mrs. Terrell, who was simply a member: After all the women present had given vent to their feelings, the row was settled by putting Mrs. Terrell in charge of the information bureau and Mrs. Layton in charge of the Women's activities. Meanwhile another brawl is in the making. A number of colored Republicans take the position that special headquarters for them are not necessary. This view is also entertained by a number of white Republicans, who do not see the necessity of the extra expense incurred by the operation of separate headquarters for white and colored Republicans. They threaten to ask the Republican State Central Committee of the District of Columbia to make no further advancement of expense funds. The separate headquarters for colored Republicans were opened last Saturday at 1109 I Street, northwest by the Coolidge-Dawes Republican League, of which Thomas L. Jones is the president. Meors. F. H. M. Murray and his two sons, Raymond and William, and grand-son Marshall, motored by boat from Arundel-on-the-Bay, Maryland, to Washington during the last week-end and Labor Day.

Possibilities in the Negro Vote Possibilities in the Negro Vote By J. A. G. LuValle (Editor's Note: This is the first of a series of articles discussing the possibilities of the Negro vote in states where this vote is a factor. Migration from the South has made the Negro vote the balance of power in many states. To-day the big question is how will this vote be cast this fall. This series of articles will simply point out the estimated number of voters in these states and discuss some of the issues which may have a bearing on the casting of this vote in the coming election.) By migrating to the North, East and West, the Negro has increased his opportunities for rpolitical power his opportunities for political power in the forthcoming election in November. There are fifteen states in which the Negro vote can be used with telling effect. They are Delaware 19,000; Illinois, 170,000; Indiana 92,000; Kansas, 40,000; Kentucky, 144,000; Maryland, 150,200; Massachusetts, 33,600; Michigan, 93,000; Missouri, 132,700; New Jersey, 87,800; New York, 175,000; Ohio, 168,300; Oklahoma, 82,000; Tennessee 247,000 and West Virginia, 60,000. Delaware An analysis of each state will reveal the real power of the colored vote. Taking the smallest one first; Delaware, with about 19,000 colored voters, defeated their millionaire Senator, Coleman DuPont, in 1922, for his failure to stand by the Dyer bill. They sent Senator Bayard, a democrat to the Senate. Senator Ball, the present Republican incumbent, was defeated last week for nomination at the nominating convention, by ex-Senator DuPont. Having defeated him in 1922, is it reasonable to expect the colored people of Delaware to vote for him in 1924? It is alleged that Senator DuPont was responsible for the cutting down appropriation allotted by the National Republican Committee for publicity among colored people, in 1920. That is given as the reason for the dearth of "advertising" among the colored newspapers in that campaign. Mrs. Alice Dunbar-Nelson, of Wilmington, who led the fight against Senator DuPont in 1920, is now in the field for Senator LaFollette. In a protest convention held sometime ago in Wilmington, by the colored voters of the state, resolutions were adopted demanding the right of colored people to sit on the jury in Delaware and for admission of colored lawyers to the Delaware bar. They stated that the Republicans had held the state for a long time and that the Negro had been loyal to the party there, but had received little recognition and they were tired of existing conditions under the Republicans. With the dissatisfaction among Senator Ball's friends and the protest of the colored voters, the 19,000 votes held by the colored of that state may be the balance of power this year. Senator Medill McCormick, the present Republican incumbent from Illinois, whose term expires with this Congress, on March 4th, 1925, was defeated at the primaries in May, by ex-Governor Deneen. The primary contest split the Republicans into three factions. Ex-Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, who failed to support Coolidge at the Cleveland Convention, is for LaFollette. He controls quite a large bloc of votes in Illinois. McCormick and his friends are sore, for he had his mind set on the President's in 1928. He nor Thompson will help Deneen. On the other hand, Col. A. A. Sprague, the democratic nomi- The big convention will open Sunday, September 7th with a special sermon at Bethel A. M. E. Church at 3:00 o'colck. A monster meeting will be held Monday, September 8th at the Soldiers' Memorial Hall. Mayor McGhee will officially welcome the B. M. C. to the "Smoky City." A record crowd is expected to attend. nee for Senator will benefit by this internal strife. The Democratic Mayor, Dever, of Chicago has been favorable to the Negroes of Chicago and has made friends for the party. His appointment of Major Patterson as assistant corporation counsel, at a salary of $7,500 per year is an example. Patterson holds the second highest appointive position in the city. The 170,000 colored voters of Illinois can wield a telling blow in the November election. Other states will follow next week. FORCED TO BE HIS OWN LAWYER, ATTY. McGILL WINS REMARKABLE CASE (Continued from page 1) practically impossible to find a reputable white lawyer in these parts who would take such a case against a prominent white lawyer like Attorney Cockrell, and give Negro clients impartial service. In these cases, ten thousand dollars represents the difference between opinio' not a "Reasonable attorney's fee" and that of the Supreme Court of Florida as to what is a "reasonable fee" in the same case. Many similar cases have been brought throughout the South and all of them have closed against the side of fairnes sand justice, because no one persisted as did Attorney McGill in appealing to the highest tribunal where justice may be found.
