The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1924-03-08
COL. CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGU-
LAR TRAVELLING CORRESPOND
ENT FOR THE BROAD AK, rs STILL
RESTING UP IN THE BRIGHT SUN
SHINE DOWN IN FLORIDA.

i0dt yet y y not the largest city
IN America, not even in Florida, but
then old folks don't grow fast.
! feel like doing just little cussing
this week, but when / looked on the
new page in my 1924 book, observed
that one Of my resolutions took me
closer to the Lord and away from this
cussing business, hence you will par
don me if ! do not tell you what /
had in mind TO say, but yet think
some republicans are simply hell, and
that is not cussing for that is the
place provided for the bad people.
I have said before, and / repeat
that many Of our United States SEN
ators are a lot Of towards and It
seems to be up to me to tell them so,
for young woman told the gentle
man whose stenographer she was,
You are damphuIe and it Just takes
me to tell you SC" and took her hat
and walked out to never return to
that Office again. She was there to
serve as stenographer and absolutely
refused to be the door mat for him or
anyone else, and she is today inde-
pendent. She wanted to make her
place in the world on her ability.
We are just in the midst Of heluva
fix, for you viii note that republican
senators joined in and helped to de-
feat the confirmation of Walter Cohen
the other day, and it was all based on
the prejudice Of a few-and i mean
two men from Louisiana, who are as
full of hatred for black man as the
devil is full of hell water.
They did not bring anything
against Mr.. Cohen's character, nor
against his ability, but said that he
was personally Objectionable to them
and it would be good thing, if we
would find the whole republican party
personally Objectionable to us, yet
where shall we go? For if we defeat
the republican party and land a demo-
crat it viii be hash-e-square-lull, and
if we defeat the democrats and land
the republicans, it will be the same
thing. We are now in the states
where that little piece Of paper counts
for one, and we must think before we
put it in next fall. / am now watching
the movements Of President Coolidge,
and if he proves to be real man,
then l will throw all have for his re-
election, or for his election to the
position Of president Of the United
States. Can / do more?
But, am not here to talk politics
this week, for here l am way down
in Florida trying to serve the Lord
and do something to prove worthy of
place in heaven where expect to
60, and where l am going. Too
many Of my friends have gone there
for me to miss it, hence | am daily
asking the Lord what He would have
me do, and then 60 to work and try
to do the things which are revealed
unto me. "A fellow must earn his place
in heaven just like any other place.
/ certainly have the big head this
week, yet I hope my head viii remain
down. and that | will not get the big
head. / would not like to have my
head burst open, yet it is swelling
daily. or ever since l left Daytona,
Florida where ! mingled with lot Of
college presidents Of both races, but
ali teachers and presidents Of my peo
pie. / am sure you want to know
what am talking about and since you
.4 ~, 1r,,or.y n hecaues nv duty to
inform you. / am talking about the
meeting Of the presidents Of the
schools Of the Board OF Education for
Negroes Of the Methodist Episcopal
church. They had meeting in Day
iona. under their new school for the
purpose 81 talking over their work.
You win recall that last year there
was 4 wedding, and the Goodman,
Jacksonville married the Daytona
Normal and Industrial school for
girls. and it became at once school
for boys and girls Mrs. Mary Nc
Leod Bethune is president Of the
whole.
