Attorney w. B. Townsend then

the defense at Pueblo, which facts
tended to show that the regrettable

against murderous assault upon the

showed emphatically that there was
an immediate need of funds. Mr.,
Townsend's recital of past expert
ences in defense OF his people was to
the point and aroused conservative
feeling of self defense in the hearers.
He announced his own intention to
keep out OF the present case to avoid
stirring up race prejudice and per
sonal dangers unnecessarily, except
what he could do as a good citizen and
as Negro In best service to his peo-
pie. He closed with an effective ap-

These same traducers seem to think
a colored professional and his wife are
good enough to accept invitations to
swell social functions, and that the
write-up in the papers will look better
when the names of the professionals
appear. Colored business people may
be in hard luck. may be run down at

not one of them is fool. They keep
their tongues. but your extended hand
and oily words are not deceiving them
They may be stabbed and struck in
the dark. but their assailants are not
mis- sjudged.
Thanks TO many men and women,
our colored business and professional
people are holding up their heads and
can look every person in the face and

SENATOR FRANKLIN
VS.. GERRYMANDER
HE is OF THE OPINION THAT EX-
IRA SESSION is NOT NEcES.
SARY FOR REDISTRICTlNG

Senator William Franklin was here
Saturday from Madill en- route to
Pauls Valley. He said his visit had
no political significance, that as head
consul of the Woodmen of Oklahoma
he was going to the Valley to trans
act some business for them.
It has been rumored that Senator
Franklin would like to have a congress
sional district carved out for him and
that Joe Thompson of Pauls Valley
would like to have the same courtesy
shown him. Mr.. Franklin, however,
denied that he was going to see Mr..
Thompson and said that he wanted to
see the congressional districts made
without reference to the home OF any
one individual and that he was strictly
opposed to any gerrymander by the
democrats of the state. When asked if
he thought the governor would call
special session of the legislature he
said he hoped not. He gave it as his
opinion without looking up the ques-
tion that the party machinery of this
state could call for the election Of
three congressman at large and as the
house is Judge of the election of its
members he thought the house would
seat those elected and that there is
no necessity of a special session for
redistricting.
The newspapers on the northern
side of the state, however, are OPP
posed to the plan and they state that
it has gotten so in Oklahoma that a
man elected to office must have Red
river mud upon his shoes. They seem
to think that if the three extra con
gressmen are elected at large that
they will all come from the southern
portion of the state where the larger
number Of democrats reside.
Mr.. Franklin is a delegate to the
Woodmen meeting at Rochester, n Y,
and has also been commissioned as a
delegate to the meeting of charities
and corrections convention which will
be held in Boston. He said he would
attend the Woodmen meeting and
most probably would attend both as
month.

erS.
Deneen has always been very strong
in the state outside his home city
Chicago. Merriam, admittedly strong
er since his defeat than before, is
rapidly maturing his plans to capture
Chicago for the progressive wing OF
the party-and his defeat through the
agencies of the older leaders will help
him in this task.
So the passing of Lorimer, the age
Of Senator Cullom and the shelving
OF Cannon leaves the party practical
ly in the hands of the governor and
the new Chicago leaders faction. De
neen is willing to be friendly with
the president, but he is flirting with
the progressiyes.. If he and Merriam
combine they will be able to deliver
the Illinois delegation to the national
convention to LaFollette. There is
little doubt but that he will also have
his own state, Wisconsin, and several
other western states-perhaps Kansas
and Oregon, and maybe a part of the
Iowa delegation.
This will give the Wisconsin sena'
tor strong fighting nucleus and his
fighting abilities are well known
While LaFollette is ambitious, and
naturally would be pleased to have
the nomination, he is fighting for what
he considers right principles and will
turn his strength over to any other
man that gives promise of doing bet
ter.
Whether the progressives succeed
in naming the candidate or not they
will make a strong fight to insert sew
eral planks in the platform, including
the direct election of senators, real
tariff reform, the curbing of the
trusts. the regulation of public utili
ties and campaign publicity.
