Telling about the historical event
OF the colored mans emancipation
from bondage, Col. Simmons re-
minded his people that It was the
Republican party alone that shat
tered the chains of siavesN and
gave them their freedom. They
not only unshackled us from tho
bondage of tho Democratic south,
but gave us our franchise to full
citizenship and in great measure
contributed the funds which has
made the colored peoples education
possible.
Now is there any reason why
colored voters should vote the
Democratic ticket7" said the noted
orator. To this question there was
a unanimous reply from the au-
dience. No, No. No."

Playing the invisible order OF the
Ku Klux Khan, Col. Simmons said:
ANY time q white has to put on
a mask to enforce law and order he
fails to be a superior TO the black

several occasions. but I'm stiu

He enjected the right amount OF
humor in his address to make each
point carry weight and conviction.

u. S. AUTOS COULD
CARRY POPULATION
(Bv Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec 1S-There are
enough motor vehicles in the United
States to take the entire population
of the country for a ride at the same
time, says the bureau of public roads
of the department of agriculture. At
the beginning of 1922 there were AZ
motor vehicles for each mile of road
in the United States
One hundred and twenty vehicles
per minute was the rate at which
motor vehicles passed a bureau obser-
walton station on a trunk line highway
in Massachusetts recently. This rate
was continued from noon to 10 p. m.
A tourist. recently driving through
four states was required to buy four
different sets of lenses to make his
headlights comply with state regula-
lions. In this the. bureau sees great
need for more uniformity in highway
regulations.
Federal-aid highways placed under
construction in September amounted
to 1,189 miles.
