FOR DELEGATES
WHO THEY ARE, AND WHAT
THEY STAND FOR.

Every four years the local politicians
get the political fever. Many of them
are never heard from until the election
OF delegates comes around. They new
er present their claims to the voters un-
til this time.
IN the coming contest there are sew
eral aspirants for delegates to the Ma
tional Republican Conventional many
of them advance certain reasons why
they should be elected. Heretofore many
Of these candidates did not know the
corning people, but now it is amusing
ta sse so many of them recognizing and
speaking with high degree politicians,
the common gutter snipes who hereto
fore never were known.
Among some of those who have an
nounced their candidacy are:
First - DR.. J. H Wilder, who came
to this city several years ago from
Charleston, s. c. He went to Howard
University and graduated in medicine.
He belongs to the blue-vein element in
South Carolina. His alternate is Rev.

Clair, of Asbury Methodist Episcopal
Church. Rev. Clair is an itinerant min
ister. Both candidates are circulating
petition among the doctors, druggists,
school teachers and ministers. Many OF
whCm have declined to sign il. This
petition is to be published to show the
esteem il which they are held by those
who signed it. Those who signed iris
petition never vote and never take any
part in politics.
Attorney R r. Horner, formerly Of
Warrenton, Vale was a Mckinley
district delegate from Virginia in 1900
and removed to this city shortly after
the reelection of Mckinley and was
admitted to practice law. Mr.. Homer

son, Eugene Welburn and endorsed by
the Blaine Invincible Club His can

Attorney L NJ King - Also Of
Virginia. He is a prominent member
Of the bar His candidacy Is backed
by Dr.. w Bruce Evans and members
Of Morning Star Lodge Of Elks. Mr..
King has a strong support from that
organization
Mr. John w Patterson, also from
Virginia, but now a resident of this
city. He claims the support Of Gaskin
and Gaines, Barney McCabe, William
Murrell, Bud Minor and others.
In THIS connection these gentlemen
have endorsed Major Burte, who has
declined to run unless he Is sent on his
record and what he has done for his
country. When asked by the local
statesmen if he was going to spend any
money he politely informed them at a
meeting held in Gaskin and Gaines that
he did not intend to spend one cent
IF you want me as a delegate, l am
willing to make the run. He further
stated to the local statesmen and poll

WHO SENT THEM?

There was much merriment created
at the last session of the OBard of Ed
ucation. 1t will be remembered that the
teachers showed their dislike for Mrs.
Mary Church Terrell by not honoring
her with flowers as they did certain
other members of the Board. Upon the
table in the oBard room, in front Of
Mrs Terrell, was a bunch Of American
Beauty roses last week. The inscription
on the card read like this: For your
services in behalf OF the teachers, etc.
There was no name attached TO the
card, and who sent them no one knows;
but Mrs. Terrell, the lady who seems
to be one of the most oficious men,
bers of the Board, was determined that
she should not be outdone.
Just what Mrs Terrell has done for
the teachers who claimed to have sent
her those flowers the investigation COM
mittee of the Senate will do doubt
make an inquiry. It is not presumed
that the chairman OF the recent recep-
ton committee honored her with those
American Beauty roses, or any mem
Der of her committee.
Will the lady inform The Bee who
graced her space with those American
Beauty roses? The people no doubt
would be plueased to know.
The Washington bee., 1908-02-01

The local statesmen are at sea. Many
of them are holding side-show meetings
to impress candidates that they carry
all the votes in their vest pockets One
of these local statesmen called to. see
distinguished Republican a few weeks
ago and informed him if he should run
on the ticket with another certain Re-
publican, his district, which he carries
in his vest pocket, will defeat him. This
local statesman has not received his par
don as yet. Their are others like him
who are impediments toRepulbican sue
cess and injurious to the party, For
these reasons there are hundreds of
white and colored Republicans of char
acter and reputation who refuse to take.
active part in local politics. These have
become disgusted at the manner in
which they are approached for money
Many of these are in the skin game, and
if candidates have any sense they will
not be skinned by these Shylocks,
whose stock in local politics is dishon-
es.y.
1t is evident that the Board of Elec-
ton will conduct the election in SAT-
isfactOV manner, and that Chaiman
Bieber will do his, best to satisfy ev-

TEACHERS COERCED
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? TEACH
ERS TOLD THEY MUST SIGN.

Petitions were circulatde some time
ago by the supervising principals Of the
colored schools. Teachers were told
that it was the wish and desire OF the
colored superintendent OF schools tha:
they sign the petitions presented 70 them
by the cOlorCd supervisors.
Many Of the teachers refused TO sign
the petition in its present shape. It IS
said that many threats were made if the
teszAsrs did not sign, and notwithstand
ing Rch threats there were many OF the
teachers that stood upon their consn-
tutional rights.
The Senate Committee that will soon
investigate the schools will no doubt
summon those teachers who refused to
sign the petition and ask them why and
by whose authority the petition was Pre-
sented,
This information may be obtained
from the colored supervising principals
who Circulated the petition. One teach
er especially was reprimanded by col
ored official because she had declined to
sign
1t Is not believed that the Board of
Education has anything to do with tsese
petitions, and it is not presumed that
any authority was given the COlored
school ocfiials by Mr.. Stuart to cir
culate this petition among the colored
teachers.

DIR. WASHINGTON AT HOWARD

DR.. WASHINGTON AT HOWARD.
Dr. Booker I Washington delivered
an unusually eloquent and cOmprehens-
i've address on Tuesday of last week to
the faculty and student-body OF How
ard University on the practical aspect
of education and life
The spacious auditorium cof Andrew
Rankin Memrial Chapel was packed to
It's utmost capacity. rivaling the I'M
mense throng which greeted President
Roosevelt, Andrew Carnegie, Ambassa-
dor Bryce and Secretary Garfield on
the occasion of the inauguration OF
President. Thirkield in November On
the platform were Justice Job Barnard,
president Of the Board Of Trustees OF
the University; DR. +. NJ Gallaudet,
OF Gallaudet College; Rev J. q. Butler,
OF Luther Place Memorial Church Rev.
DIR. F. J. Grimke, Professor Chickering,
Prof. J. Il. n. Waring Of Baltimore,
and many others of like prominence.
Dr. Washington was never in better
voice and seemed kcenly alive to the
spirit of optimism and cheer that per
vaded the entire proceedings. He was
accorded an ovation upon entering the
hall and it IS safe to say that few ad-
dresses If any were ever received with
more enthusiastic interest Once again
he may be said to have made the
speech Of his life lie spoke along his
usual lines OF self-helpfulness, impress
ing the value of industry and the dig
nifty Of labor, and the liberal applause
indicated that he had won a host of
new friends and admirers. He said,

there for the man with a profession

Busy Day.
DR. Washington put in a busy day
while in the city. Besides delivering
the address above mentioned, he attend
ed an important meeting of the Board
Of Trustees OF the University, of which
he Is member. The Board took up
number Of matters of great moment,
prominent among them a consideration
of the conditions relative to the accept
ance of Andrew Carnegie's generous
gift Of $4,000 for new library build
ing Arrangements of satisfactory ma
ture were agreed upon, and the actual
work of erecting the structure will be
commenced as soon as the designs can
be prepared and passed on. DR.. Thir-
kield,, president of the institution, re-
ported that the work was in an unu-
sually favorable condition. The present
enrolment is 1920 the largest in the
history Of the school, and that the fac
ulty, the students and the people with
in the sphere Of Howards benehcent
influence were never in heartier ac-
cord. The curriculum has been mate
rally improved and the standard of the
personnel OF the students have been
raised BY judicious elimination, and that
all departments are reaping gratifying
results The alumni is taking hold Wig

for the new Science Hall, to cost $780,

tees. The accommodations are sadly
overtaXed, and a new hall is absolutely
needed. The College of Arts and Sci
ences has increased from 62 in 1905 to
beyond the 100 mark. Dr.. Kelly Miller
has been made Dean and Is carrying
on the work with his welI-known vigor

DR. Thirkield expressed himself as

ed popular interest in the school, grow

oRPHANAGE DAY EARLY IN o.

L NObGN
The first Saturday in October
will soon be here. This day used
by the generous people through
out the State has been a great
help to the Orphanage. Why
call attention to this one day in
the year? Because we ask that
everyone in Florida give the
earnings Of that one day to the
Orphanage. We ask nothing
for ourselves, what we ask is
for the children, that they may
be cared for. clothed, fed, edu-
Gated, trained in a life Of indus
try and economy and reared for
a life of usefulness and Gods
glory.
The Orphanages throughout
the South have their annual
