A. NJ. {. BISHOP
SAYS SUPPORT
CAL. COOLIDGE

Bishop w. D. Johnson of the A. NJ.
E. church. presiding over the state OF
Texas. visited Philadelphia helping to
compile the discipline. Upon being
asked to state his position on the poll
tical question, Bishop Johnson spoke
out strongly for President Coolidge,
Said he. ...
"Our people should be interested in
that candidate who. if elected, will
defend their constitutional rights
against all attempts at abridgement
or other hostile influence. Among the
various candidates for the presiden-
tial Office, think none more deserv-
ing than our present chief executive,
and II is for him that / urge every
voter to cast his ballot. There are
three reasons that prompt me to make
this statement. First, Mr.. Coolidge s
fairness and honesty. / think that
among the great array of rulers and
leaders today intrusted with power,
there is none who can surpass Mr..
Coolidge in honesty OF purpose, In
courage, or in high devotion to the
welfare OF his country. Second, In
his advocacy Of the Dyer Anti-Lynch-
ing Bill, and also the attitude of the
Republican party against lynching in
general. Every intelligent voter
ought to know that any man or party
anxious to. reduce, if not abolish
lynchings and mob rule is worthy OF
support. Third, / am in favor of sup
porting the Republican nominee be-
cause no other party has done as
much for our people as the party in
power. From the time the colored
man emerged from slavery up to the
present moment--every worthwhile
privilege granted him, can be traced

mentality Of the Republican party
Among all the organizations that con.
stant1y laud their efforts in behalf OF
our country's welfare, the only one
that ever made Free Men" one of its
notices is the Republican party
Whatever amendments and federal
laws we have today protecting the
rights OF the colored man, we are in
debted to the Republican party for
these grants; and firmly believe
that any colored man or woman fail
ing to support Mr.. Coolidge in the
coming election, would not only be
ungrateful for blessings received but
expose himself to new and additional
hardships."

w. T. Francis, st. Paul attorney,
and recently elected Grand Master of
Minnesota Masons, has received an
important appointment at the hands
of the National Republican Commit
tee. The sentiment, universally ex-
pressed, is that Mr.. Francis is en-
titled to this recognition, having de-
voted his entire career, from a po-
litical standpoint, to the support of
the Republican party. Active in pre-
.cinct and ward politics when but a
young man, he became a member of
the State Republican State Central
Committee and was one of the presi-
Dental electors for Minnesota in the
Harding Campaign. From an educa-
tional standpoint Mr.. Francis is a
product of Minnesota, where the pub
lie schools and college facilities are
and was for many years
in the Legal Department Of the
Northern Pacific Railway, as Chief
Clerk and Assistant Counsel. He is
a prominent member of the Ramsey
County Bar Association and promi-
nent In civic affairs as well as church,
fraternal and social circles. That
Billy Francis deserves success is the
universal sentiment. He is held in the
highest esteem by the citizens of both
races. ...

reasonable fee for legal service rem

were filed. one on the Law side and

suit was for twenty thousand dollars.

BUTLER SELECTS
W. MATHEWS TO
LEAD CAMP pAICN

Chicago, Ill.,, Sept. 1S.-William
Clarence Matthews of Boston has
been selected by William NJ. Butler
of Massachusetts,, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, to di-
rect the racial program for the cam
paign of 1924. Matthews is function
ing with Monroe Mason of Boston,
editor of the Blue Helmet, as his sec
retary. "
Matthews, senior member of lead
ing firm of lawyers in Boston, with
Offices in the famous Old South build
ing, graduate of Tuskegee Institute
and Harvard College, and former
u. s. District Attorney, is regarded as
eminently qualified to fill the respon-
sible position given him. Matthews
is statesman-like in handling political
matters. He plays the game for ad-
vantage, but never forgets the high
est and best interests Of his people.
This is highly essential quality in
political leadership. With the ap-
pointment Of Matthews, an entire re-
adjustment of political activities is
made. He plans business-like, scien-
tific campaign in which young men
and new blood are to be given equal
opportunity with the experienced
campaigners OF the past.
The lineup now Is as follows:
Director, william @. Matthews.
Boston, Mass, with headquarters at
Chicago. Secretary to Matthews,
Monroe Mason, Boston. Chairman of
Western Division, William T. Francis.
Minnesota, vice-chairman, assistant.
George w. Lee, Tennessee. Chairman
of Eastern Division, Charles E. Mitch

The Republican National Commit
tee is down to brass tacks in the mat
ter of dealing with the racial voters
of the country. They are not en-
deavoring to fool themselves or any
one else into the belief that the votes
of colored America will rush up to
the polls without any understanding
and vote the Republican ticket. They
are proceeding on the sensible and
practical basis that Colored voters
must be given good and sufficient rea-
sons, as all other voters, why they
should support the Republican party.
This manner of dealing with the vot-
ers will, in itself. have direct ap-
peal. 1t shows the type of recogni-
tion that colored citizens desire and,
incidentally. the type being accorded
by other parties, including the DEM
ocrats and Progressives.
