WARREN G. HARDING
is DISAPPOINTMENT
TO COLORED PEOPLE
(By The Associated Negro Preggl

| Washington, D. c., Sept S.-Presi
dent Warren G. Harding, and the
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee, Hon. John T. Adams, are
getting some interesting reading
these days. The Colored newspapers
of the United States are giving them
some information that, by all right
and proper should carry for them the
greatest significance.
From one end of the country to
the other the newspapers have risen
in mighty protest against the pro-
gram of surrender recently inaugural
ed by the party of Abraham Lincoln,
founded on human rights. There has
never in the history of the nation
been more universal and uncom-
promising wall of dissatisfaction and
disgust
The significant part of the editorial
expression with reference to the Pre-
sident and the Republican party is
the fact that there is little or no
vindictiveness but carry spirit and
tone of resolute determination that
cannot be misunderstood. The cen
trail theme through all the mighty
and convinced streams of logic pour
ing forth from the fertile pens of
Negro editors and convincing streams
of logic disappointment" The news
papers throughout the country, dur
ing the last election, were unanimous
in the endorsement of Warren G.
Harding for President. Editors, known
in the group to be radical in tend
ency, laid down their hammers and
picked up a horn and footed for the
favorite son of Ohio.
They listened with great satisfac-
ton to his fine words of justice and
fair play in his address, and by news
stories, display advertisements and
editorials, as well as by word Of
mouth, urged the people to vote
the Republican ticket" Now, for the
great new President, so early in the
game, to step from the path of rec
titude, and for the great Republican
party to throw out sop Lilly Whites"
has caused CONSERVATION that will
not down.

Especial To The Tribune)

West Point, Miss, Sept. .8.-There
seems to be a general movement on
the part of some organization to dis
pose of all Negro firemen,. porters,
and flagmen on trains operating into
this city The Commercial Appeal
correspondent came into possession of
the following notice sent out by these
people:
"To Burton Blanks
"Firemen M. & o. Railroad:
"This is to advise you that we will
give you until the 1st Of September
to hunt you another job. We have Or
ganized for the purpose of removing
the Negro from the railroad jobs, and
we expect to do it if we have to get
on your train at some water tank or
other place and shoot you down like
rabbits We understand that you are
the leader of the Negro firemen, so
we want you to tell the rest of the
Negro firemen and porters that we
intend to kill every one that goes out
on a train after September 1, and we
expect to kill you and Dee Allen and
Porter Silas first.

REPUBLICANS REMAIN
SILENT ON ACTIVITIES
OF KU KLUX KLAN
(By The Associated Negro Press)

Chicago, Sept. S-The "fall drive
of the Ku Klux Klan" in northern
states is on in earnest The remark
able development of sentiment caused
by the drive will ever remain one Of
the most interesting features. of
Ameican history. Grand Wizard Sim
mons, of Atlanta, has busted himself
with placing advertisements in lead
ing daily newspapers, and by other
means, stirring up the populace, seek
ing to inflict his nefarious organiza-
tion on various communities.
Among the startling disclosures
are the following, the Republican
Chicago Tribune came out editorially
endorsing the organization while the
Democratic Mayor of New York, the
Democratic Mayor of Louisville, KY,
have protested strongly against the
Klux getting a foothold in their COM
munity.
Democratic Senator Glass, of Vir-
ginia, issued a most far reaching
statement against the formation of
the Klux in Virginia, while the Re-
publican Congressman, Slemp, and
member of the Republican National
Committee, has remained painfully
silent. The Republican Governor of
Wisconsin and the Republican Mayor
of Cleveland, Ohio, have stated that
they will do nothing against the Klux
unless it commits some covert act"
The United States Senate, the
House of Representatives overwhelm-
ingly Republican, have been silent,
while the Democratic legislature of
Texas has been busy denouncing the
Klux and all those connected with it.
"The knights of the Kerosene Kan
are keeping their lamps trimmed and
burning" said one citizen recently,
"and while we are not going about
looking for trouble, God knows we
are not going to run away from it
if it comes up to u.s."

REMEMBER TULSA"
ONE OF Big SLOGANS
in use AMONG BLACKS
(By The Associated Negro Preggl

~AoSON@e~NCNe
Chicago, Sept S.-"REMEMBER
TULSA" That is one of the big slo
gans of the hour. Tulsa is the Odessa
of the United States. Not contented
with the most terrible and horror
striking riot and massacre in the his.
tory of the nation, the whites of Tul-
sa, a certain element of them, have
combined to do two things First, to
keep the people who lost property
from securing any insurance; and
second, to find some means of pre-
venting the people from rebuilding
on the ground where once stood the
proud achievements of great business
success and racial progress.
There have been almost one hun
dred indictments returned against Ne
groes who are charged with having
either melted or participated in the
riot Tulsa Colored Americans have
organized to combat all of these eff
forts. They are sending out the cry
and appeal for help thru properly or
ganized committees that have the en-
dorsement of the best people of the
community. The Colored people of
the community are not to fail Tulsa,
for behind it lay the future possibili-
ties of the race in this country.
1t was Booker T. Washington VINO
advised the people to engage in busi-
ness, and rise above the flaunts and
hold-backs of racial prejudice and
determinations. Tulsa, proud, glorious
Tulsa, arose to this admonition super
ior to most American communities,
only to discover that white hatred
cannot willingly accept competitive
success where the black man is con-
cerned. If this new line of racial
prescription is permitted to get a
hold in American life, there is no tell
ing where it will end.
o. w. Gurley, a prominent business
man and citizen of Tulsa, and for
mer deputy sheriff, was in Chicago
recently completing arrangements
with the Chicago Defender, through
Robert S. Abbott, to receive money
for the Tulsa needs. Every true
hearted American citizen is asked to
make a contribution to the cause.
Mr.. Gurley was accompanied by At
torney Elisha Scott, of Kansas, who
has been retained, with other well
known attorneys, to handle the legal
side of the Tulsa affairs, and large
sum of money is needed, these gentle
men claim.
An ordinance was passed extending
the fire limits in Tulsa, seeking to
prevent rebuilding by Negroes in the
Greenwood district This ordinance
was given a death blow by the courts,
and straightway another was passed
seeking to carry the same purpose.
1t is stated that this new measure
will be taken before the courts and
given the same treatment as the pre-
vious one. REMEMBER TULSA"

New York, Sept. S.-"Women can

cussing the cables from Paris an
nouncing that women who drink and

Ghadiala hastily. ''That is why they
must not degrade themselves by

LOUISVILLE BLACKS
Will ORGANIZE new
INDEPENDENT PARTY
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(by Inc Associated negro PreSS)
Louisville, KY, Sept. S.-The very
devil is to pay in this biggest city on
the south shore of the Ohio river.
The Colored brethren are about to
wash their hands clean of Republican
party dust for the express and most
particular purpose of setting up a
party of their own making Lin
coin Independent party.
William Marley, who turned loose
an Ed. Lewis strangle hold on a city
job, is the leader of the movement
which bids fair to revolutionize the
politics throughout the entire State of
Kentucky. Marley is the editor Of
the Louisville News and a good two
handed fighter when it comes to putt
ing up a scrap for the rights of the
race. His paper has been calling the
attention of the Republican leaders
to the mistake they have been guilty
of making in their undisguised en-
deavors to shelve the Colored vote.
'They would not see the handwriting
on the WALL" says Warley, "apd
therefore there was nothing for us to
do but turn on the current and make
it stand out clear and bright"
A convention of the new party will
be held on the 21st of September On
this date it is proposed to pat full
city ticket in the field ]. B. Cooper,
the well known Colored undertaken
is slated to be the candidate for
Mayor In addition a big effort is to
be made in the 51th, 57th and 59th
legislative districts to elect candi-
dates to the legislature. The 3Sth
Senatorial District is also regarded
a good fighting ground in which to
elect member to the State Senate.
Two or three men are also regarded
possible of election as Magistrates
and constables.
A new party numbers among it's
most active members DR.. Noah Will
liams, one of Louisville's noted Col
ored physicians; l. Willis Cole, edi-
tor of the Louisville Leader; Wilson
Lovett, President of the First Stan
dard Bank; the Rev. H. w. Jones,
pastor of the Green Street Baptist
church; the Rev. w. P. Offut and the
Rev. John Williams, leading Baptist
ministers. Walter Rodgers, Alexander
Morris, Mrs. Lille Simmons, Mrs.
Nolan King and host of men and
women, intensely interested in racial
uplift. In the opinion of the leaders
of the movement in this city, there
is strong likelihood that it will
spread nationwide. Already Virginia
and Maryland have signified an in
tention to join hands with the rebels
in Kentucky and it is expected that
New Jersey and Tennessee will follow
in their wake A ten thousand vote is
expected for the Lincoln Independent
Party in this city.
