WOOD LOGICAL" CANDIDATE
FOR coLoRED AMERICANS
BY Edgar c. Brown.

Indianapolis, Indiana, March 23.-
Among the rank and file of the peo
l,fe ne question is being asked: How
can we support anyone but Leonard
Wood? He is right on the race ques
tomas was said in the motion made
before the colored voters of Indiana
assembled in Indianapolis by Attorney
Tidrington, grand chancellor of the
knights of Pythias, and seconded by
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robt
l.. Brokenburr, 1--WE the colored vot.
ers of Indiana, are for General Wood
first, last and all the time primarily
because he has the courage to cham
pion the rights of truly 100 per cent
American citizens the American Ne
groes."
Mr. Tidrington headed the delega-
tion from Indiana to the Lincoln
League and was one of those present
who had had chance to compare
Governor Lowden and General Wood.
1t is significant that Mr.. Harrington
pointed out that what we need today
is military man to stamp out mob
violence and lynching and man
whose words are respected Ike The
odore Roosevelt and the good gener-
ais own words at Gary, and Omaha,
when he said "The rights of all must
be protected"
And now following the rejection OF
Governor Lowden by the colored Re
publicans of Missouri, assembled in
st. Louis because of his attitude to-
ward the East st. Louis riot and his
misleading statements at the Chicago
riot, the colored Republicans in Ohio
have taken up arms against Senator
Harding under the fearless leadership
of Honorable Ralph Tyler, because he
refused to recognize 10000 colored
voters by refusing them a delegate to
the Chicago convention and Senator
Harding returned last week from Tex
as, where he went on the invitation of
the lilly whites" General Wood, true
to his record, left place open for
n eolored delegate. Here is General
Woods statement, II know no Amer
lean by his color"
"A vote for Wood means vote for
the race" was adopted for the Indiana
slogan at the primaries.

SOUTHERN BLACKSMITH AccU
MULATED 100000 IN FORTY
YEARS.

Anderson, S. c., March 17.-Report
comes of the death of David Dooley,
n colored blacksmith of Anderson, S.
c., who sin forty years of labor ac-
cumulated a fortune conservatively es-
timated at 100000" The career of
this "highly respected and esteemed
citizen" of color in n southern town is
worth the consideration of the Boil
shevists.

Chicago, H., March 16.-One of the
most important expressions concerning
eradication of American prejudice ani
indifference that has ever been made
comes from the Chicago Journal, the
''est publication in the city, and DEM
ic in politics 1t is under the cap
IF "An International Aspect of
ling" and affords lesson for
.rIca that cannot be overlooked.
he suggestion that Great Britain
luish her West Indian islands and
the Bermudas to the United States"
says the Journal, ''as part payment OF
the British debt to this country has
reached the stage of general debate.
1t must be added that up to date one
of the basic questions involved has not
been mentioned by the -debaters.
Neither Britain nor the United
States is going to transfer populations
from one sovereignty to the. other
without their consent. In the case OF
the islands mentioned, will that con-
sent be given?
l"A heavy majority of all these is
landers are wholly or partly of Afri-
can descent In Jamaica the whites
form only / per cent of the population,
and although they are somewhat more
numerous in the Bermudas, they are
still in minority The Bahamas, like
wise, show heavy preponderance OF
blacks
"Under the British flag these island
ers have social position higher thah
the people of their race enjoy In the
United States. They have something
much more important, absolute legal
eouality. and constant, competent pro-
lection from the law There are no
lynchings In the British West Indies.
There are no race riots, though some
thing more than a generation ago there
was a disturbance in Jamaica which
the governor suppressed with consid-
cradle severity.
"Meanwhile, in the first six months
of 1919, the last period for which au-
thoritative figures can be had, tweh-
ty-fiye Negroes were lynched in the
United States Only seven or these
were even charged with assaults on
women. Year by year, lawless vio-
lence of this sort goes on, and at 1r-
regular intervals came race riots ike
those Of Springfield, East st. LOUIS
and Chicago.
"Will the colored populations Oh the
British West Indies vote to leave their
present security and join country
where members of their race are
treated in this fashion? 1t seems
doubtful The islands are natural up
panages of the North American coh'i-
nent. Under ordinary circumstances
they would gravitate into some sort Oh
affilIation with or allegiance 10 the
United States. But between them anu
their natural tendencies and interests
the lynchers and race rioters OF thls
country have placed barrier wnicn
NAV well prove to be impaSsapie.

LABOR ORGANIZATION FAvoRS
EQUAL PAY.

Baltimore. Md. March 16.-Upon n
proposal of the Colored Walters
Union, No. $780, the local body of the
American Federation of Labor went
on record at its weekly meeting for
equal compensation for colored teach
ers and white. The labor organization
listened to the arguments of several
delegates of the walters union and
then deemed it proper to support the
measure.

to Governor Lowden of Illinois and
to Mayor Thompson of Chicago, urg-
ing that all possible steps be taken to
avert threatened race friction in Chi
cago.
The kilograms report bombing of Ne

The text of the telegram is as fol

March 16, 1920.
Reports from various sources TO the
National Association for the Advance

residences of Negroes are being
bombed in Chicago and that feeling
of dangerous bitterness is growing up
in consequence among the colored peo-
pie who are determined to defend
their homes and their families.
Mindful of the costly disaster which
overlook Chicago in July, 1919, the Ma

cry possible step be taken to main
tain peace and order before violence
again disgraces an American city.

To FIX EXCHANGE
League of Nations Plans to I'm
prove World Finance.
Special Session Called To Be
Held at Brussels.

San Sebastian, Spain. Aug. 5.-Ways
and means of improving the worlds
financial c.-ldition were taken up to-
day by the council of the League of
Nations in session here.
Plans were made Tor a financial
conference at Brussels September 20,
at which an arbitrary rate of exchange
between member states and former
enemy states will be fixed. Financial
experts said they did not expect the
rate of. exchange money of former
enemy nations will become normal.
One of the first steps will be to ask
countries with inflated currency to
deflate it so as to remove one of the
prime causes of the present economic
situation. Three causes were assigned
by the council for unsettled economic
conditions thruout the world:
l. The financial policy of individ-
ual states.
2. The unstable rates of exchange
of paper currency.
8. Confused commercial relations
of which the remedy is speedy restora-
ton of sound credits.
Thirty nations probably will partici-
pate in the Brussels conference, thus
giving its decisions the moral force
necessary to insure action.
The military, naval and aerial COM
mission today took up in sections the
proposition of abolishing the use of
poison gas in war. 1t also discussed
! restriction of munitions shipments
thru various countries.

TOCONTESTVOTE?
Ballot Shortage Ample Grounds
for It-Swayze.
Little Excuse for Letting Demos
Vote 6. O. P. Ticket.

To The State Journal:
One of the most frequently heard
remarks on election day was the vote
is very light" which was a fact Yet
there were several precincts short of
printed ballots. What would have
happened had the vote been heavy is
problematical, but if men valued their
franchise as red-blo0ded American
citizens, there would likely have been
a riot. AS it is. there is ample grounds
for contest, for every voter is entitled
to his voting privilege.
The law is very explicit in this par
tcular, and requires that seventy five
ballots for every fifty voters or frac-
ton thereof cast at the preceding gen
eral election shall be furnished the
election boards. In addition thereto
the county clerk must have printed
and retain in his office as a reserve
supply the exact number specified
above-seventy-f for every fifty
election, for each party ticket. The
basis in the cities is the registration
books, and in the country the votes
cast for state officers.
And, too. there is little excuse for
the acceptance of Republican ballots
at the hands of Democrats, as is
claimed, and which is alleged to ac-
count for the shortage of Republican
ballots. An affidavit. of party affilia-
ton is required. also an affidavit of
citizenship. A challenger can make it
uncomfortable for the Democrat who
would capture the primary in order to
weaken the ticket at the general cleo
ton. -
It is very evident that there was a
short sighted policy followed in the
ordering Of ballots. The printers were
kept busy until six o'clock in the aft
ernoon,. election day. but failed then to
keep up with the demand for Repub-
lican ballots. This shows reprehensi-
BILE neglect. and subjects the candi-
no amount of explaining will compen-
safe. This has happened once before
but was due to the addition of the fe-
male vote, when perhaps a dozen SAM
pie ballots were used at the last mo-
ments, there not being time enough to
send out a reserve supply:

Two Boys Murdered Following
Threats Against Bandits
Threats Cut and Heads Crushed

Marion, ILL.,, Aug. with their
throats cut and their heads crushed,
the bodies of Tony Hemphill, II, and
Amel Calcaterera, IA, were today
placed in the Royalton morgue. and
Santino Desantis of West Frankfort,
was held in the county Jail at Marion,
in connection with their disappearance
and murder.
Squirrel hunters in the woods near
today buried in a shallow grave COW
cred with brush. Close by a butcher
knife was found with the blood upon
its handle hardly dry.
Authorities believed today that the
boys were murdered to prevent their
divuIging information regarding a re-
cent bank robbery. The police theory
was that the murder was committed
in nearby city and the bodies
brought to the woods in an automo-
bile. The theory was substantiated by
the fact that no evidence of a struggle
could be found near the makeshift
graves.
The boys had been missing from
their homes since Monday. Tuesday,
Desantis was arrested in connection
with their disappearance. He was
taken to the county jail at Marion fol-
lowing the finding of the bodies, to
prevent possible mob violence.
According to the police. Desantis
has admitted he took the two boys to
Royalton. He denies any connection
