Bitterly Contested.

The case was bitterly contested. The
race question was introduced by rep
resentatives of the white Republican
contestants, who said they wanted to
build up Il respectable party in the
South. The issue was accepted with
avidity by the negro representatives and
members of the committee from the
Middle Western states. who used the
party in their states. They then threw
sop to the negroes and slop on the
whites.
Former Gov. Hooper OF Tennessee
presented the case of the white con-
testants to the committee, and Henry
Lincoln Johnson argued his own case.
and finally won his claim to leader
ship. But there was another issue in
the contest that heightened the inter

to have received 81, 500 from the Low.
den campaign fund In fact this was
charged on the floor Of the meeting,
but Johnson suavely dismissed the
charge by saying: ut was just news
paper talk
The combination Of circumstances that
led to the seating Of Lincoln johnson
delegates was thIs: The Middle West
ern states Voted for the Southern ne
grOes to help the party with the me-
groCs in their own state and Southern
members of committee voted for the
negroes because they were afraid to
vote against them. The vote was q
to %. The delegate from Georgia was
not entitled to a vote and Chairman
Duffield of New Jersey, withheld his
vote.
Tho Arkansas delegation won it's con-
test against the negroes but the Ar
kansas member Of the committee voted
to Crat the Georgia negroes. Some OF
the other members who voted for the
negro representatives were: Kentucky,
Louisiana. North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Texas. Virginia, District II Co

VINO made them pubic wednesday.
That Memphis had during 1919 the
highest death rate from typhoid fever
of any city of similar size in the United
States is but one of many statements
contained in the report He further
declares that there has been no ma
terial reduction in the gross death rate
in Memphis during a period of 20 years
but says that 40 per cent of the deaths
are due to causes that are classed as
preventable diseases,
Complete lack of effective supervision
and A wholly unorganized health de-
partment, due largely to pernlcious po-
ltical interference, he says Is largely
responsible for the present condition
His survey also scores the part-time
system in the health department, eff
fective in Memphis for many years In
his recommendations DIR. Prebbe lays
stress upon necessity Of full time en-
ployes and desirability of thoroughly
trained and competent employees with
particular application to heads of vari-
Gus bureaus and divisions which he has
set forth in his survey.
But little attempt has been made. he
declares, to educate the public through
proper publicity to point where they
render the utmost cooperation to the
department in carrying forward neces-
sary work. tuberculosis is practically
uncontrolled, the report says. while ty-
phoid, malaria and other diseases have
been sadly neglected.
