E. STUMP, THE REGULAR
OLD TIME TRAVELLING CORRE-
SPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AK,
HAS LANDED AT HOUSTON, TEX,
ON HIS WAY TO OLD CHICAGO.

WHO II 10 SuCCCcu LII. benjamin
Franklin Watson as secretary Of the
Church Extension, and he is fitted for
the place. He has a fine home in the
city, and ] am real proud Of him and
Of what he has done
There was a conference in session
in San Antonio, the Southwest Texas
conference, presided over by Bishop
William Decker johnson, and at the
same time the General Baptist con-
vention met in the same city, pre-
sided over BY Bishop L. L. Campbell
Two strong bodies, and brought to
that city a large number Of real visi-
tors as well as those who were d.
rectly interested in the meeting. /
looked in on both Of them. Had
cordial reception from bishop john
son and his ministers, but Bishop
Campbell was too busy to give me
cordial reception Well, he had many
things to do, and after he had closed
one session, he said that he saw me
in the house and that I was his
friend, and he was glad to see me, but
| did not get in touch with the con-
vention per Sc. They had many prob
lens to consider and had SO many
big men of their own coming, such
as President J. z Woods. from Ken
lucky, Henry Allen Boyd from Nash
vile, Tenn; Cora Jordan White from
Nashville; the Rev. DR.. Madison, from
Norfolk, Va, and fellow from the
National Baptist convention, could
not find a place there exactly.
1t was Friday, l saw him second
time, and he said to me that / should
have sent him letter or telegram
that l was going to be in town, for
he would have been glad to have had
me write up the convention, and he
could have given me plenty Of money
for so doing. l did not reply, but just
looked wise, and that was as well as
looking otherwise.
Now is the time that all Of our
people who are interested in recogni-
ton Of the race, should turn atten-
ton to the appointment made by the
late President Warren G. Harding to
Hon. Walter Cohen, of New Orleans,
for believe he should be confirmed
by the Senate and if necessary Presi-
dent Coolidge should send his name
in again. We will be called on next
year to help to elect a president and
some senators, and let Us note the men
who do not stand with u.s. We have
votes enough north and east to count
for something. So many men and
women who will have been up there
long enough to get their hands on
that little piece of paper. am sure
they will use it to advantage, and /
am not saying how it will be, nor am
making any threats about this, that
or the other. When the time comes
am going to speak right out in
church.
I had letter recently from Miss
Anna L. Crisp, public stenographer
and court reporter in Chicago, COM
mending the work Of Charles Stewart,
Jr., saying that he was truly the son
Of his father. | have had the pleasure
Of meeting his father on several oc-
casions, and ! hope he will measure
up to the. work of the old man.
Charles Stewart is somewhere now
in the country, and imagine I see
him with his Remington making his
way to some meeting or something
else.
am not at all in good shape yet,
and / hope you will continue to pray
for me that they will not let the bugs
get me. DR.. George Cleveland Hall
IS praying and working, and he Is 4
bug finder, one Of the best in America.
The world viii some day know his
worth and value.
may have something to tell you
in my next letter about Houston.
You will remember Houston. We had
some soldiers here once, and BY the
way, there is being circulated petit
ton to be sent to the President ask
ing him to let the soldiers out of the
federal penitentiary- I hope you viii
sign one if you have not yet done -.
The National Association has sent II
out after visit to Leavenworth. I
shall say more about It in another
