said President r. w. Thompson of
Washington, D. c., i have no doubt
that the day will come when many
of us will have associated press
franchises. y
Booker Washington also speaks in
behalf of Negro press.
At the very Introduction of his an
nual address, President Washington
spoke fervently in behalf of the Me-
gro press. Said he:
LET no one doubt or question
in the future, the value and infu-
enca of the Negro newspaper.
Though it may be a seemingly small
and insignificant sheet with linn
tied circulation, reaching the peo-
pie only in one community, never
,theless, this negro paper has its in
fiuence.
More and more in the future than
has been true in the past, plead
with all the earnestness that I can
command for the generous and con-
slant support Of the Negro press.
This support should not come only
from the masses of our people, but
in the especial degree it should come
from the man of education, from
the man who is engaged in some
business enterprise. Such support,
in an increasing degree, believe
the Negro press will have. There
are few agencies which, together
with the church and the school, have
exerted greater influence in the
uplift Of our race than is true Of
the Negro newspaper, and often this
influence is exerted at the price of
poverty, hard work and self-denial
on the part of the publishers.
AS each delegate and visitor to
this League returns to his home,
hope he will carry with him re-
solve that in the future he will see
to it that his local newspaper has
his hearty support and co-opera-
ton"

to the laws, he said: II plead
