ASK FAIR PLAY
FOR The NEGRO
DIR. w. &c. Jason Delivers
Temperate Speech at
Dover Meeting

speelal 70 The Evenlng Journal.


Dover, March 4.-Decidedly the most
comprehensive and rational speech Of
the negro State convention yesterday
was delivered by DR.. W. c. Jason.
president of the State College For Col
ored Students. Vociferous applause
greeted his appearance in response to
loud calls He said:
Gentlemen Of the convention, words
come slowly because we are up against
one Of the hardest propositions we
have ever been called upon to face.
Indignities are suddenly put upon us.
humiliations for which we have given
no provocation and which cannot bene-
mt anybody. The Legislature of Mary
land, our neighboring State. my native
State, only yesterday took steps to in
'augurate the Jim Crow car, only an
other step to our humiliation and
shame, and 10 the discredit of every
body who aids such legislation.
Now while l believe in moderation.
also believe in unity of action. The
men who suffer the most, the men feel
the sting, they're the ones who ought TO
get together and try to stem this tide.
Brethren. we may have our difference
Of opinion in everything else but there
is no time for anything now but unan-
Unity

no other reason than because he has a
black skin, suffer with him. Now how
can we change the sentiment? Com

do III agitation is stir worse.
White Mans Country.
1--WE must remember that is is a
white mans country. II we were any
thing else than what we are il would
still be a white mans country. We
must remember that If the white men

against us there is no hope for us.
Our only star of hope is that the white
men are not all against us. Vigorous
lapplause). The secret lies in this-we
must take the hand held out toward US.
We must stand by those who stand by
US. All Of this is the result Of poll
tics. " one party can cut off power
/ from another party by telling the black
man, they'll attempt il.
However. because the first outbreak
of speech against us came from a
Representative Of the Democratic party,
llcts not rise up in our wrath and con-
denim the Democratic party. Already
the Democratic press repudiates the ut
terance. We cannot AFFORD as body

Presidina EIder PossibiIities.

There is a great deal OF conjecture as 10
"a successor TO Presiding Elder Watt Of
the Wilmington district. lie has been one
Of the most successful and popular men
who ever has served in that capacity and
there is general regret among all the
churches in the district that he may not
be rcappointed.
Prominently mentioned in this connec-
ton are the Rev. A. S. Mowbray, of Port
Deposit. the Rev. C.. W. Prettyman, Of
New Caste. the Rev. w. Z. s. Murray,
d. D., pastor Of ST. Paurs, who served
as presiding elder Tor five years several
years ago, and the Rev. j. w. Easley
pastor Of Harrison Street NJ. +, Church.
1t Is thought that DR.. Mowbray stands
an excellent show Of getting the appoint
ment and his friends are confident. At
the same time. no one can predict with
any certainty what will be done until
Bishop Fitzgerald arrives and judges Of
the situation for himself. He may do as
bishops frequently do-seiect a man not
on the district at all. as was done in the
case Of Dr. Watt.

DR. Baker retires as presiding elder Of
the Dover district and those who are mem
toned as his possible successor are the
Rev. C. r. Wyatt of Middletown, the
Rev. J.. f. Barrett, d. D.. Of Dover, the
Rev. w. r. Mowbray, Of Bridgeville, and
the Rev. L. c. McNichol. Of Cambridge.
There is some talk that DR.. Watt would
be welcomed as presiding elder by the
churches of the Dover district.
There viii be no changes in the Sails
bury and the Easton districts, Of which
the Rev. Adam stengle and the Rev. w.
lG. Koons respectively, are the presiding
elders
1t is not thought that there will be
many changes among tho preachers of the
Wilmington district, most of the preach
ers having accepted invitations to return
for another year.
The Rev. r.. A. II. O'Brien notified the
people of Mt Salem Church that he did
not desire to return. His action IS thought
to be because OF the poor health OF his
wife and daughter in Wilmington. lie
wishes 10 get nearer the sea coast. The
church has left the matter Of Dr.
lOBrien's successor with a committee. who
will confer with the bishop and the pre-
