call every American citizen. lie was
born slave and secured his education
tlroueh his own individual efforts.
That he has succeeded is indicated by
the country wide prominence which he
has attained.
People who heard the lecture here
several years ago by Senator Tillman
of South Carolina probably will he

Mr.. Washington. Senator Tillman is
probably the greatest ANTAGONIST of
the negro in the United States and his
lecture was against the black race.
Those who heard that discourse now
win be given an opportunity to hear
the side Of the blacks from one of the
greatest members Of that race in the
world today

convention and practically every mem
Der of the association as well as other
copper country and upper peninsula
people, are eager TO hear him.
Elaborate pans are being laid for
the convention and those III charge will

llcatcst benefit to all. From now until
October every person interested will
work INCREASINGLY To this end.

OPPOSITION FOR TOURNEY.
Iron River Puts in Bid for Honor OF
Entertaining Firemen.

Apparently the Hancock fire depart
ment is to have opposition i'm its cam
paicn to hand the next annual meet
ing of the association. Last week an
nounccment was made that the Iron
River department would put up a
fight for the honor. and although
Hancock already has the assurance of
support from some of the strongest
departments i'm the upper peninsula,
there is little doubt that the Iron
county town will have to be reckoned
with.
Hancock is preparing to send large
delegation of firemen to Ishpeming at
the annual tournament this year and
naturally will have the assistance Of
tho copper country departments, Red
Jacket, I.aurium, Houghton. Lake Lin
