The leading Republicans OF THIS

for candidates to have on the State

ing further expressed the opinion
That some new blood on the state COM
mittee would be desirable. In COM
pliance with their requests, l have

FACING a CRISIS.

| Some weeks ago The Advocate
Iattrmpted to point out to the Ne
gro knights of Pythias of this
state the danger which threatened
them through the injection of the
namc of the order into politics by
their Grand Chancellor to further
his selfish ambitions. At the same
time it predicted that no good
would come to the Order through
such tactics. At the time the edi-
torlal was written it was not
thought that the prediction would
he fulfilled So soon, that the Negro
Knights would be called upon 50
early to pay the price. But the
evil day has arrived and the ma
vhlnrrv has been set in motion TO
encompass their mdoing.
In his address to the Grand
Lodge in session at Blurhcld, last
summer. Mr.. Wilson, charactcris-
tlcally, " stopped over' in praising
DR.. Hatfield for doing no more
than was done by every other men,

the State administration in pre-
venting the passage of the Carr
Fraternal Society bill. TO further
his candidacy. DR.. Hatfield has
scattered that portion of Grand
Chancellor Wilson S address refer
ring to himself broadcast among
the Negro voters of the State. The
opponents of DR.. Hatfield have
sent the same excerpts to the in
dlvldual members and secretaries
OF every white knights of Py-
thlas lodge they could reach.
The mrrr>t tyro can readily see
what the possible effects of such
a movement will be. 1t will array
the white knights against the gen
tleman from Mcdowell county.

further his own and the political
ambitions of another. there will
be maby who will gladly seize the
lrSt opportunity to put the Ne
grocS out of business. Should Mr..
Wilson be elected member of the
Republican State committee and
the Democrats carry the State,
Is an organization which, through
It's chief official, d declaration of
political preference has been made,
the Negro knights of Pythias
can expect no favors at the hands
of those they have opposed.
The Negro Pythians as a body,
are facing Il crisis. They can either
endorse the candidacy of their
Grand Chancellor at the polls on
June 4th and take chances on the
future good will Of the white Ply
thianS and the Democratic party.
