Vice President Elect
Pulls A Boner Before
Atlanta, Ga. Audience

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 3.-One thous-
and Negroes from all walks Of life
gave Vice President-Elect Coolidge
of Massachusetts,, cold greeting
on his first appearance in this city.
The distinguished Massachusetts,
statement was one Of the chief
guests of the Southern Tariff Con-
gress which met in Atlanta last
week. One of the features Of the
program mapped out for him by his
host was meeting at which he
spoke to the colored people Of At
lanta.
This meeting was held in the
First Congregational church. Gov
ernor Hugh Corsey presided. Spell
man seminary and Moorehouse col
lege provided musical program
That delighted the distinguished
guest and the auditors as we'll
Among other things Mr.. Coolidge
said:
a I come from the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts where there are
many interested in your welfare,
who have contributed money with
out end to the upbuilding Of those
institutions that you are interested
in, in order, that you might profit
by he very best that hey have. They
have sent among you too, teachers,
who have undertaken to help and
instruct you in all that is best on
this side Of paradise and perhaps
YOU owe to the commonwealth OF
Massachusetts and it's citizens some
thing Of debt Of gratitude.
But as great as all that maybe,
all that the commonwealth Of Mas
sachusetts. and your friends there
have done for you, does not com ON
pare with that which the peo-
ple around you have done for
you; and friendly though the
people of Massachusetts have
been, and helpful though they
may have been, you have no better
friends than those who live about
you here and contribute always to
your welfare, your success and your
happiness. And if you want to
make good for the work that has
been done by the men and women
Of Massachusetts, then continue IN
your well doing; continue to CO.
operate with the people around you
here; continue in your industry, In
your work day by day.
81 want, as an American, to see
YOU increase in your character; to
see you progress in your material
welfare to see you continue to ex-
emplify, as you have done the very
best there is in the character OF
men and women, and, in the devo-
ton alwavs-whatever your temp
tations may bethat which you
have exemplifed from time to time
to America, to it's flag, to its instl-
tutions and to its preservation for Or
ever.
This was the closing sentence OF
Mr.. Coolidge's speech. Mr.. Coolidge
failed utterly to catch any OF the
present-day spirit Of the colored
people in the city Of Atlanta except
ing in his particular reference to
the matter Of g temptation to be
other than Americans. When the
speaker retired to his seat ne show,
ed that he caught the chill, the audi
ence having murmured loudly It's

amount OF money away so that his
ambition might be realized. At last

and a soft drink parlor at 1920 w.

his efforts.

this earth for him to do. he decided.

fered him the services of the Kenosha
wireless stations in helping to give out
warnings regarding motor thefts, The

is for the wireless stations to be ready
night and day to send out word re-
garding stolen automobiles and to CO.

ing the thieves.
In Kenosha there are three stations:
one at the home of Ralph Martin, 918

cooperation of the wiremen.
Twenty Kenosha radio operators are
expected to attend the convention.
