NEGRO HEAD OF. G. A. r.
Veterans Look for Embarrassing Com
pIications at Big Reunion.

BOSTON, Feb. 22.-Senior Vice De-
partment Commander James H. Wolff,
negro, was yesterday elected depart
ment commander of the Massachu-
sets Grand Army of the Republic at
the thirty-nintn encampment held in
Faneuil hall. This is the first time
in the history of the organization that
colored man has been chosen to such
high office.
The election of Wolff was practical
ly unanimous, but was made SO
through a peculiar chain of circum-
stances. Last year VOLTS name was
placed in nomination and it created
sensation. The fact that the national
encampment was to be held in Bos-
ton made the Massachusetts depart
ment the host and it was not a very
palatable morsel for, prominent G. A.
r. men to digest-having a colored
man at their head-especially when so
many southerners were to be in the
state. For this reason Wolff was de-
feated.
This year the men who were so bit
terIy against Wolff at the last state
encampment sat back and let his cleo
ton go through. After it was all
over they limited at some very embar-
RAISING complications when the ma
fional encampment meets in Denver
next year.
AS the national commander, General
W. w. Blackmore, is a Massachusetts
man, the sachusetts department
will, of course, have the right of line
and there is already much speculation
as to how many Bay state veterans
will go west.
There is no doubt that Wolff is
popular among a large number Of the
senior and Junior vice department
commander and was also elected some
partment year later he was made
| Judge advocate general of the national
body.
| Wolff is a graduate Of Dartmouth
college and the Harvard law school
and has practiced law in Boston for
some years.
