BAPTISTS HAD TROUBLE
Their Anu-Hoch Resolutions We're
Torn Down-Bolt Follows.

About 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
a party representing himself to be
Rev. Arlington Wilson Of Kansas City,
called up the State Journal and in
formed this Office that the state con-
Vention OF negro Baptist ministers at
Metropolitan hall had adopted resolu-
tiCns condemning Governor Hoch and
the Republican party.
Later developments show that it was
not the Rev. Mr.. Wilson who called up
the state Journal office, and that the
message must have come from some
member Of the faction which bolted the
It seems that the convention which
was attended by Baptist clergymen
from aA paris OF the state, got into
row about political matters A resolu
ton was offered roasting Governor
Hoch. and when it was defeated, and
q mjlder resolution adopted, three of
the ministers "bolted.'' and were fol-
lowed out Of the hall by Paul Jones and
were Rev, Fairfax of Parsons, Rev. J.
r.. Richardson of Kansas City and Rev.
H. ". White of Topeka.
The resolution which was really ADOPT
ed by the convention by vote Of 35 to
was as follows
We as Republicans in the convention
assembled declare for civic righteous
ness and enforcement of law, just and
equal rights to all. We condemn all
laws placed on our statute books which
discriminate against any of the citi-
zens Of the state We stand for the
true principles of Republicanism and
we condemn as unworthy of our sup
port any ONE who departs from these
principles Re it further
Resolved. That we send a committee
to watt upon the candidates of the Re
publican party or the state central
committee and ask them to give US
assurance hat they will do all within
their power to carry out the spirit of
these resolutions"
Immediately after this the conven-
ton adjourned and committee visit
ed the headquarters of the Republican
state central committee where after a
conference with the officers in charge,
they announced that they were thor
oughly satisfied with the attitude of the
Republican party, and would advise the
members of their respective congrega-
tions to vote the ticket straight.

MONUMENT TO WERZ.
subject OF Discussion at Meeting OF
U.D.C c.

Americas, Ga. Oct. 31.-At the an
nual meeting of the Georgia division
United Daughters OF Confederacy to-
day. a report of Mrs. A. B. Hull Of Sa-
vannah, the president. who last year
inaugurated the plan to erect monu-
ment to Major Henry Werz, the An
Jacksonville prison keeper, was read in
which she speaks of opposition to the
plan in some sections as follows:
There was never any object under
taken by our society that has met with
such widespread interest, such loyal
support and such violent antagonisn.
The latter has taken the widest form,
INDUCED in the most insane abuse. not
sparing in any wise the women of the
Georgia division, or the south in gen
eral and we have answered never a
word, but have simply gone and prov
ed our case and mean to establish the
truth forever, when. we unveil our
monument. A campaign of education
it has verify been for I do not believe
any of us knew how ignorant we were
of the history OF that period until We
went into this matter as we have been
obliged to do in order to give an answer
for the faith that was in US"
Mrs. Hull also recommends that q
picture of Winnie Davis be placed. in
the dormitory of the TIA bun Gap in
dustria1 school which is conducted by
the daughters as a memorial to both
Mrs. Jefferson Davis and the daughter
Of the confederacy.
