colors and kind. He must stand over
the rainbow.
! believe that we have such a man
in President Coolidge and am willing
to join Col. Simmons in his program.
Then | had the pleasure Of shaking
hands with Governor Charles S. De-
neen, and he is an X, but they are
going to make him a Senator II The
United States Senate, and was very
much impressed with him, and since /
am going to vote in Illinois, | shall
drop in one for him, and / believe
he IS going to get the support of nv
people. He made a good record as
Governor, as States Attorney and as
a representative, and now we want to
send him where he can be Of greater
service. I shall speak out about this
later.
The Democratic party in the north
will seek my vote, while the Demo
cratic party in the south will give me
hash-e-square-lull and send me to that
summer cline where the wind was
never known to blow and where they
viii never have any shade trees or
palm leaf fans, but all must Just burn
it out forever. Now why in the hen
feathers should give my franchise to
such party? You may say Dam
hno, and | will join you in that and
ask God to forgive me If it is con
sidered a real cuss word. Since cuss-
ing has been invented by some UNI
known man, | suppose It must be done
at times. Then l find that lying must
be done at times, and this have dis
covered in one big man who has
tramped this country or is now
tramping this country telling the peo-
pie that the National Baptist conven-
ton, which meets in Nashville, does not
own anything, that the half million
dollar plant belongs to the white folks,
and it is hard for me to tell you the
other careless Misrepresentation Of
the truth he is putting out. If he
keeps that up Mr. Vandyke and all Of
his whiskers will land in that hot
cline. Let him 60 on with his hog
killing and see just where he will land.
I did not get to see DR.. G. c. Hall,
while ] was in Chicago, hence can
not tell you anything about my bugs,
but suppose they are still trying to
get fat off Of my body. Let them eat
their three meals a day, but when they
get too unruly then DIR. Hall calls
them down, and he is a man who
knows how to do this particular thing.
My long stay in Chicago looks to
me like a dream, and then had the
pleasure Of seeing Editor Julius F.
Taylor, and he is one editor who
knows his business and who is strictly
independent. When it comes to speak
ing out for the race, he does not al
ways say his prayers either forward
Or backward. He believes III his peo-
ple-in him is friend to humanity.
If you are anybody then you can
reach Editor Taylor, but If you are
mere trash, then you must continue
on your way to the other world
After getting through in the city,
Charles Stewart, Jr., just hitched up
his automobile car carriage and toted
me to the Baltimore & Ohio stable,
where / found my way to the bed car
carriage. and was soon headed for this
place. / went to bed and slept like a
log until was nearing Pittsburgh,
and then up / got and had the pleas
ure Of seeing Mrs. Moreno. Davis at the
stable. She took my lily black hand,
told me that the E1ks were taking the
town. and then Prof NJ W. Collier
Joined ME at the same stable. He was
headed Tor New York and was de-
lighted u See me. ! tell you he j.
one Of the leading educators Of this
country and / feel like taking off my
head to him, when I think Of the work
he IS doing. and how he is building up
great institution.
Recently the white people represent
ing 4 state institution, went to this
Young man in Florida and wanted
him to become president Of their state
school for Us At a salary Of five thou
sand dollars per anuum, almost three
times as much as he is getting now

that he could not consider such an Of
