AAuldhapohsp Indlana.-Before doing
anything else, want 10 congratulate
President Aaron E. Malone Of Poro
College, St. Louis, Missouri on being
4 member Of the big committee to
notify President Calvin Coolidge that
rs has been selected by the National
Republican convention to be elected
President Of the United States by the
people, and am one OF that number
to help elect him. / do not know A.
the committee will tell him about me
but | will be on hand just the same
We are going to show our apprecia-
ton to the party headed By real
man, for It has been a long time since
we have had man who just spoke
right out, and when he saw thing he
was not afraid to take a position. He
IS man every inch Of him, and he
should succeed himself. In the con-
vention held in Cleveland, there were
some contests.
There are some republicans down
south, and when / say that / mean
white folks, and they are there to get
the spoiis, the loaves and if some fish
should swim around to pick them up
also, and take bite. Now these Office
holders and officer seekers believe that
such loaves and fish should Be enjoyed
by white folks only, and they have
been trying to establish a white mans
republican party with the Negro out
Of it.
Now who ever heard Of Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas, or Texas, turn
ing their votes over to the republicans.
and | mean BY that their electoral
votes, and Florida, South Carolina
might be included? When this hap
pens, heat will be turned into ice, and
hash-e-square-Iull will be only a resort
Of luxury. You see we have now two
national committeeman and one wom-
an. We are going, and the you see
there was manhood enough in the
party to confirm Walter Cohen.
But am not here to talk about
politics this week, for we have been
going some, and there are many
things that have claimed my attention.
Death has invaded our ranks, and be-
ieve me we have lost some shining
stars, men of distinction and men of
worth. How sad it was to look at the
portrait of Willis E. Mollison, and
not before his name, Late" He has
gone to his eternal reward. pause
here to pay tribute to him because he
was great man. He worked his way
up in life He was heard in Missis-
sippi-in fact the country heard him.
He found his way to Chicago, and
there he made a great reputation for
himself. But with US, he is no more.
We shall miss him on earth, but |
feel that he is now mingling with such
men as Charles Banks, T. T. Mont
gomery, James Hill, Hiram Revell,
and others of the great Mississippians.
We shall some day join him.
DR.. A. H. Hill, Of Arkansas joined
the number He was before the last
general conference for episcopal hon
ors, but was not elected. He is now
one Of the bishops in heaven. He will
not have to be voted for, he won his
place by service and his life have the
ups and downs of this world. He
served we'll in the school in Little
Rock, the Shorter College.
Now comes the time that I must
turn attention to where l have been.
for it strikes me that when wrote to
you that other letter l was just leaving
that wonderful Grand Lodge session
in Fort Worth, Texas, and it was one
more session, and great things were
accomplished. shall never forget
them and they shall never forget me.
I had the pleasure OF seeing the good
things as they went on there. have
told you time and time again about
Grand Chancellor w. S. Willis, who
was just born to do things. He is
doing them too, believe me honey.
I had the pleasure Of listening to
that strong and able address of SUI
preme Chancellor S. w. Green, and if
you remember / also told you about
Major R. R. Jackson, who was down
in Texas. After | had the big time I
moved over to Dallas, from Fort
Worth, and that same Miss Annie
Anderson, toted me over in her auto
mobile car carriage and desire To
thank her for the same. It was very
kind in her to tote me over such
long distance and she was at the
wheel. Came in touch with Rev. E.
Arlington Wilson, and other friends.
and then I shook that Dallas dust
from my feet and made it to Shreve-
port, La, reaching there about 4
O'Clock in the morning. / went in an
automobile car carriage to the home
OF Rev. and Mrs. Luke Allen, Jr.. and
they told me to come in and make
myself at home, but the father Of Mrs.
Allen, made mistake by putting me
