Radicals Not Discouraged
Radical Negro labor is not dis
couraged. 1t forced this Sanhedrin
to consider the labor question and
thru the publicity gained at the San
hedrin it brought before the Race
the fact that the basis Of race dis
elimination is an economic one, and
that the only hope for the oppressed
Negro workers and tenant farmers is
thru solidarity with the oppressed
workers and farmers of other races.
Radical Negro labor cannot be pre-
vented from getting into this next
congress, in larger numbers
than at the one just over. According
20 the constitution accepted at the
Sanhedrin each national organization
will be allowed five delegates TO the
Sanhedrin congresses, with an addi-
tional delegate for every $4,000 mem
bcrs or fraction thereof. Each state
and municipal organization will be
allowed one delegate, with additional
ones at the same rate. Congresses
are to take place every two years.

PROSPECTSOF
NC ADOO UP
Wilson's Grown Prince Sees
Hopes on Funeral Pye

William Gibbs McAdoo,
$25O,OOO oil baby of Edwin
L. Doheny, purchaser of Naval
Reserves and cabinets, will
come to Chicago today to learn
whether his connection with
the Teapot Dome oil scandal
has placed his presidential ann
bition on the funeral pyre.
Mr.. McAdoo has done a
rather unusual thing. He has
placed his political fortunes in
the hands of the public, "
which means his campaign
committee.
If they decide that candidate
can retain the purity necessary to
lead the Democrat jackass to victory
IN the next election, even tho handi-
capped by 100000 oil dollars, Wood
row Wilson's crown prince will hum
bly, bow his head and mutter "Vox
populi; vox Del"
Presidential Timber Scarce.
1t is rumored that McAdoo's sup
porters will do that very thing. Pres
dental timber is rather scarce in the
donkey ranks and it is also the opin-
ion of Democrat politicians that the
Republicans are so submerged in the
Teapot Dome that even an oil can
on the Democrat ticket will bring
home the bacon.
In an interview the press agent of
.he McAdoo headquarters in Chicago
ikened the enthusiasm of his sup
porters to the fervor of the crusaders
who crossed two continents to rescue
the Holy Sepulcher from the Moham-
medans. The Infidels in this case
are the Republicans and the Holy
Tomb is the White House which the
knight Grants of democracy expect

hands of the enemy.

suggestion Of McAdoo the conference

snow and attempt to prove that the
linking of his name with the Teapot
scandal is a red herring dragged
across the path of the Democrat
party by enemy Republicans.
Scoff at McAdoo Claims.

CHAPTER TX

The two men left Soto's together,
dinary acquaintances sallying out to
spend the evening together Sir Timo-
thy's Rolls-Royce limousine was In at
tendance, and in a few minutes they
were threading the purlieus Of Covent
Garden. It was here that an incident
occurred which afforded Francis con-
siderable food for thought during the
next few days.
1t was Friday night, and one or
two wagons laden with vegetable
produce were already threading their
way through the difficult thorough
fares. Suddenly Sir Timothy, VINO was
looking out of the window, pressed
the button Of the car, which was at
once brought to standstill. Before
the footman could reach the door Sir
Timothy was out in the street. For
the first time Francis saw him angry.
His eyes were blazing. His voice
Francis had followed him at once into
the street-shook with passion. His
hand had fallen heavily upon the
shoulder of huge carter, who, with
whip In hand, was belaboring a thin
scarecrow Of horse.
"What the devil are you doing" Sir
Timothy demanded.
The man stared at his questioner,
and the instructive antagonism Of race
vibrated In his truculent reply. The
carter was a beery-faced, untidy-look-
ing brute, but powerfully built and
with huge shoulders. Sir Timothy,
straight as dart, without overcoat or
any covering to his thin evening
clothes, looked like a STRIPPING In front
of him.
"Tm whippin' 'er, If yer want to
know" was the carter's reply. i've
got to get up the ill, 'aven't II Garn

Francis did not hesitate for a mo.

"Sir Timothy" he said. II have the
greatest detestation for you, and am
firmly convinced that you represent all
the things In life abhorrent to me. On
the other hand, I should very much
like to hear the last act Of Louise and
1t would give me the greatest pleasure
to meet your daughter So long as
there is no misunderstanding"
Sir Timothy laughed.
Come" he said, "we will get our
hats. I am becoming more and more
grateful to you, Mr.. Ledsam. You are
supplying something in my life which
I have lacked. You appeal alike to my
sense Of humor and my imagination.
