BE careful in your selection of men
you will support" he said, Choose
only the best qualified men. The men
, who are above the lawless element
which would crush your rights.
''The white people have your wei
fare at Heart and will prove it if you
show that you are heartily working
for good citizenship. If you show dis
position to do the right thing through
the ballot box the white voter will re
ciprocate."
Endorses Robinson.
Before closing his address, Jackson
endorsed the candidacy of Arthur
Robinson for the Republican nomina
ton of U. S. Senator from Indianapo
| lie, and Of Judge Comstock. The men
| ton of Comstock's name was the sig
nal for an outburst of enthusiastic ap
plause.
After J. Allen Clay and Simpson Ok
endine had spoken endorsing the sug
gestion of Jackson that solid support
be given Comstock, Richardson, the
presiding officer welcomed the Pro
gressives back to the fold of the Re-
publican party by introducing D. B
Utley, a former Progressive. Richard
son explained that the meeting was to
be held as sort of Methodist love
feast" and everybody was privileged
to talk
Utley prefaced his remark; with a
fitting and witty story and then in
speaking of the Progressives declared
he was glad to rejoin the Republicans
He suggested that mass meeting OF

the colored voters be held. Like other
speakers he urged that the colored
race secure representation in office
and pointed out the necessity OF the
colored voters constantly working for
all candidates they put forth.
Calls For Progress.
Charles Skillens said that if the col
ored people were as prompt as faith
ful and as interested toward one an
other as the better class of white peo-
pie were toward the negro, the ad-
vancement Of the race would be no
ticeably more rapid. He believed the
negro benefited more under a Rpub-
Hcan regime than any other party. He
declared that the prosecutor who had
treated the colored race better than
any other in Wayne county was VIII
Keller.
Other speakers were Fred McKin-
ney, Harry Taylor, William A. Arnold,
Jr.. Joe McElroy, Walter Alexander
and James Bailey. DR.. Anderson was
introduced by Jackson.
"You have the. unusual spectacle Of
negro aspiring to office" he said
in announcing his candidacy for coun-
ty coroner. Il am not a politician.
am plain citizen, doctor, who has
lived in Richmond for four years.
'The time has come when we must
demand political justice. The white
race doesn't really know us. We have
held ourselves aloof. Worse even than
that we have been in a state of leth-
argy. We cannot command respect
that way. We must show that we can
efficiently serve as a public official.
Expects Large Vote.
Il expect to poll a large vote from
the white people and l will also seek
your votes not for personal reasons
but because of the race I represent"
Winburn after his name had been
suggestion by Harry Taylor for the
nomination of county recorder ex-
pressed his surprise and appreciation
IF | am to represent the colored
G. O. P. in the race then let us at
least make commendable showing
he said. Il won't have much time to
devote to a personal campaign so the
organization must push and push sol
idly behind my candidacy"
The permanent organization per-
fected at the meeting is composed Of
the following officers: President, Cor
nelius R. Richardson; vice president,
J. Allen Clay; secretary, Herbert
Bundy; treasurer, Simpson Oxendine
All officers were elected unanimously

ton. The committees which drafted
the resolutions was composed of Her.

FIRM PROPOSES
fcontlnued From Page Onel

somely for the initial investment This
offer excludes the Robinson plant and
the Minck Brewery property. The
company proposes the construction Of
business houses.
This statement was made as an ar
gument for level span and was made
to indicate there would be no proper
ty damage, if level structure is
built.
DR.. Harold also made the rather
startling assertion that the Starr Pr
ano company could we'll afford to give
$4,000 to help pay for the damages
accruing from level structure, basing
his claim on a probable advertising
advantage the company could derive
from Electric signs.
Property Values Doubled.
Property values in Richmond would
be doubled in ten years by level
bridge, he asserted Both the level
Main street span and the south side
structure could be built this year at
saving of $4,000.
'In building both bridges, look to
the future" he said. do not build a
compromise bridge on the south side;
don't make the mistake that was made
on Main street; don't be in hurry.
1--WE want some members of the
South Side Improvement association
on the committee of one hundred that
is studying the Main street problem
This bridge is an integral part of the
National road. The structure ought
to be commensurate with the dignity
of this old highway. During the sum-
mer months between fifteen and thir-
ty-five tourists travelling along the old
National road stop at local hotels each
night This highway is an important
one; the bridge across the White
water river ought to be up to the high
est standard in every respect"

Nearly 500 colored vot were rep

Winburn's nomination as the repre-
sentative of the G. o. P. came to him
as a surprise. Both he and DR.. An
derson made speeches asserting that
their candidates. to the respective Of
flee will represent the colored race
rather than personal aspirations as
office holders. Each asserted his con-
fidence that many votes from white
men will be polled.
Winburn is a we'll known colored
contractor. He took three years
course of study in Earlham college. He
has been prominent inthe party poll
tics for many years and in 1914 placed
the name Of DIR. Anderson in nomi-
