ern yourselves accordingly. Pay up or
shut up hereafter.
Rev. II. J. Calls says we Negroes
cannot afford to fight Mr.. DePriest at
this time, for to do so would split the
republican party and defeat VIM. Hale
Thompson for mayor, and that's what
some White men want and we can't
afford to do this at this time. "'I tell
you, Brother Washington, what we Ne
groes must do is to stand by Oscar De-
Priest whether we like him or not. We
must do it. 1 can't see it any other
way at this time"
1t was quite funny to see two famous
trotters meet as did Charley Stewart
and Mr.. W. R. Carter last Friday in
the Crystal printing Office, especially
when Mr.. Carter was trying to help
Charley find Mr.. Frank when he was
told that it was Mrs. Frank "and not
Mr.. Frank, if you please"
We were passing down the street the
other day and we ran into Harrison
Stewart and we wondered what was on
his mind, why he looked SO sad, for he
didn't look as natural as he does on
the stage.
Mrs. Ada Mckinley was elected pres
ident of the Oscar DePriest women's
club. The ladies know a good thing
when they see it. Mrs. Mckinley was
president of the Chas. A. Griffin wom-
ems club during the primary fight.
Sufragettes, We congratulate you on
the selection.
wonder where viii this race feeling
end up at. At first it was the White
man against the Black man; now it is
the Black management himself. "Do
you get me, Stevei"
DR.. L. N. Harlan is an ardent sup
porter of the independent candidacy
of Mr.. W. R. Cowan. As an organizer
let no one think him a fool. He is a
foe worthy of recognition.
Chill Frank thinks Mr.. A. N. Fields
hit the nail on the head in his article
last week. He thinks words well used
and not abused are good. Keep it up.
Mr.. Fields says he will keep it up.
Messrs. Coleman and Glanton of Cole
man and Glanton's cigar store, 1880
State street, do not look with favor at
this time upon an independent candi-
date entering the aldermanie contest.
They feel that the standard bearer, Mr..
W. R. COwan, is making a mistake.
Mr.. B. W. Fits delivered some tell
ing blows the other night in a public
meeting held in favor Of Mr.. DePriest
at the residence of Jack johnson. He
numerically took to task those who
were neither "hot nor cold" in their
support for Chas. A. Griffin, and who
for the same reason are not supporting
Oscar DePriest.
Mr.. Carey B. Lewis (the war cores
pondent) says, ''I am for the regular
nominee" "But," said the writer,
chow about the Defenderf'' "The
Defender editorially is for him." Of
course, its pages are open for business.
Mr.. Charles Worthington, the noted
photographer, who resides at 473s
State street, and a prominent member
of the Peerless Club, stole a march on
his many friends and has now settled
down in wedlOek.
Our friend, James T. Brewington,
Jr, is just recovering from the shock
of the story "that a good run is bet
ter than bad stand" especially when
ne knows that Parker has got one up
his sleeve. James is no body's hay
seed.
It is said that "politics makes
strange bed-feIlows. It is certainly
strange, passingly strange, to learn of
Mr.. E. Il. Wright making a speech in
favor Of Mr.. DePriest in his head
quarters as was told Us by Mr.. A. N.
Fields. Kindly let the public know,
gentlemen, what influence was sufH-
Gent to get these results. If It was |
race interest, then permit me to say to !
the Negro be Of good cheer. We have
not yet lost our bearings.
