RICHARD WEST
BROOKS. ATTY
Endorsed by Independent Political
League for Alderman

Atty. Westbrook, eminent attorney
widely known as an uncompromising
fighter for race interests, and better
known in the legal field as a brilliant
barrister, has won the endorsement
of the Independent Political League,
in his candidacy for Alderman.
Atty. Westbrook stands out as a
"race man" and New Negro. He an
nounces that he will fight unceas-
ingly in the council of the city faith
ers" for the Negroes proper and just
share and is frankly opposed to all
"machine-made' politics and "me-to-
boss" direction and action.
His fighting spirit and legal ability,
combined with his youth and sea-
soned experience make him eminent
ly fitted to serve race interests and
not party politics and word bosses
He has received many encourag-
ing indications of strong support from
those who think and are tired oi
"hand-picked" leadership and City
Hall domination.

MOB VICTIMS
ASKING $99,OOO
A. |. Williams, Prominent Attorney
Represents the Defendants

Mr.. A. l.. Williams, lawyer of
reputation for his race pride and abil-
ity, is handling the cases for the
relatives of 10 persons whose lives
werel ost in the riot. The defend
ants cases are based on the law on
the Statute Books in which every
person is guaranteed the protection
of rights, life and personal or real
estate property, and if the life or
property is injured by mob violence,
the party is entitled to three-fourths
of the value of the property destroyed
or injured.
Some acion from Alderman Ander-
son and Alderman Jackson is expect
ed in this matter, but at the present
writig we have not been advised con-
ccrning them.
The out come of these cases is
being watched all over the country as
it will doubtless have bearing on
similar incidents other places.
Much confidence is expressed in
the ability of Atty. Williams and the
influence and assistance of the two
wide-awake Aldermen now in power.

VIEWS ON OUSTING
OF SOCIALISTS
Action Of Colored Assemblymen
Causes Much Speculation as to
Its Effect in Harlem
Especial to the Whip.)

New York, City, Jan. Is. - The
only Colorsd assemblyman in the New
York assefnbly. john Clifford Haw-
kins, was one of the assemblymen to
vote in favor of the expulsion of the
five Socialist assemblymen at the re-
cent opening session of the legisla-
ture. Mr.. Hawkins is Republican
and voted with the party members.
Miss Grace Campbell, Colored, the
Socialist candidate that opposed Mr..
Hawkins at the last election. polled
over 500 votes in the 2lst A. D.,
hence there is quite heavy Colored
Socialist vote among the Colored
people of Mr. Hawkins district. Much
protest has been raised agaist this
action of the Republicans and in Mr..
Hawkins and the other Colored dis
tricts there is quite a bit of specula-
ton. II is felt that if the Socialists
could be debarred because they advo-
Gated changes in the customs and in
situations of the community, that the
same could be done to Colored rep
resentatives who in advocating the
abolition of Jim Crow cars and legis-
lation in the south would necessarily
have to plead guilty to the same in
dictment. Jim -CroWism i san old and
deep-rooted institution in the south
and to advocate its abolition is GER
tainly from the southern viewpoint
just as revolutionary as the doctrines
of the Socialists, if not more SO. In
voting to bar men even temporarily
who are duly elected representatives
of a perhaps unpopular minority it i:
feared that Mr.. Hawkins may have
thus accepted a precedent that may
be used to the detriment of his owl
people in the future.

|. K. Williams Denounces Segregation

Our social fabric is entirely wrong.
Men in this country will not turn
their hand to any cause unless an
effective appeal is made to self in

of moral courage is put into OPERA
ton, remidies already known, is every
place visible.
The condition that has brought
the acute situation, that now exists,
to the attention of every thinking
person, the sudden appearance of
the New Negro, who is the direct
creation of postwar circumstances,
and the universal cry for delayed
emancipation. The rapid emigration
of colored people from the South
and the biased white press thai

has done much tQ. sgpaentA sfss5rs-s /.
ing flames.
To effect cure, get rid Of all
men in public offices who try to per-
petuate themselves by appealing to
preiudices and emotionalism.
White Ministers should preach a
more vigorous gospel against the rule
of might White people must learn
that they are dealing with a new
crowd. That the economic interests
as well as the moral of both races
are common.
Try all men according to law, in
stead of color or class. White presses
should refrain from editorlizing
against Negroes, in news articles. A
more honest and intelligent leader
ship among both races.
More schools and better schools,
better houses, more houses better
chances and equal credit to colored
men in business.

Evanston, Ill, Jan. 11.-Hundreds
of the best citizens of the middle
West convened at the First Presby-
tartan Church (white) to hear Rev.
L. X. Williams dig IS the condition,
cause and cure of race problem in
the United States. That their eyes
were opened to the wrongs perpe-
trated against the race, >and The
cure and prevention of same, was
evidenced by the enthusiastic ap-
plaus, even though the speaker ac-
cused them at times of being moral
towards when it comes to standing
like men for a square deal for the
Negroes.
Text of speech, after thanking citi-
zens for manifesting interest in try
ing to bring about better feeling
etwaaExtha.-raees.-and fnx.shis-- pars
sonal selection as medium, was in
part as follows:
The condition is a serious one and
has been growing for years. Suspl-
ton, doubt and fear turks in the
heart of both races. The minority
group is like all forces in nature try
ing to adjust themselves to surround
ing conditions. So acute is the feel
ing, that the least provocation will
incite riot and passers by, without
knowing either facts or causes line
up according to their race.
The causes are that every place in
this country there exists unjust, un-
democratic and unchristian social in
dustrial economic inequalities. Ac-
cording to weighty opinions, our Pub
lie School System is a promoter OF
race hatred and divisions 1t has
made distinct impact upon the body

RESIDENTS PRO-
TEST COLORED
FOR NEIGHBO R

Wilmington, Del, January 8, 1920.
Citizens residing on Tatnall street
between Twelfth and Thirteenth, held
another Indignation meeting to pro-
test against the Negro, Tsbury Ster-
ling. residing at 1916 Tatnall, into
which house he had moved last Satur-
day.
As one of the results of the meet
ing, a committee headed by o. W.
Merrick and composed of jeremiah
O'Sullivan, John Denver, Mrs. f. F.
Reynolds and Mrs. J. A. Donohoe,
will wait on the City Council at its
next meeting, and ask that body to
use it's power, good Offices or in
huence to maintain the neighbor-
hood for white residents.
The meeting was held at the home
of Mrs. F. F, Reynolds, 1920 Tat
nall street. The Council evidently
has no legal power to interfere in
the matter, but those present at the
meeting were hopeful that something
could be done to induce the Negro
family to move to some other place
and avoid any unpleasantness that
might result from their insistence on
living there.
Sterling is letter carrier, and has
been on the force for 20 years. He
says he will remain in the house until
he gets ready to go, but whether that
means he would listen to some pro-
position that would include res
idence in some other section, is not
known. lMA,~s

Book Says

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. Q, 1920
Short biographical sketches and
liberal illustrations make the recently
issued volume of the National Cyclic
pedia of the Colored Race one of the
most complete books of its kind. Not
only are leading colored persons thru
the country represented within its
covers but thei5leaders of the past
are also included. Considerable space
is devoted to John T. Gibson, Phila-
delphia theatrical manager.
The volume says, Philadelphia and
Boston have been two of the prin-
cipal cities to afford the Negro a
refuge and to foster his welfare. 1t
asserts that Philadelphia has proved
happier home for the Negroes than
Boston.
"There they have a wider range OF
intellectual and social freedom" ii
asserts. "a great many remained
there and established themselves as
leading citizens, notwithstanding the
fact that they were persons of color
Coming thus to the front they put
up stores, established business anC
took an active part in the govern
ment, built handsome churches, hos
ptals, schools, with the result the
Negroes of the Quaker City usually
get a representative not only in the
city but also in the state government
