| II. and directed to Mr.. Gompers at
| Brighton Beach, N, y.
MY dear Mr.. Gompers," this let
| ter began. II am very anxious to
| have a personal interview with you
| at the earliest opportunity. Am leav-
| ing tomorrow night to be gone some
| time, like ten days, in order to Sc
| cure a very much needed rest be-
fore the campaign begins. Would
I impose on your good nature if I
| asked to let me know when and
| where it will be possible for me to
see you? Believe me with .kindest of
| regards, yours sincerely"
Mr.. Gompers replied with the fol-
| lowing letter:
| II have the honor to acknowledge
| receipt Of your favor of the 17thsin-
| slant, in which you express desire
| to have a personal interview with
me. You ask that YOU be advised
| on your return to New. York city
after ten days rest and the assump-
ton Of your whole duty in the cam
paign impending for the presidential
election.
Il assume that you are aware that
[ have been in i'll health for the past
several weeks and that [ ann So
Journing here under observation and
care OF my nurse and physician. 1
desire to be frank with you in say
ing that though / am steadily ini-
proving in health, [ am not yet sure
Or treasured as to what may be
able to do in the near future, but
il at all in physical condition / shall
attend the scheduled meeting Of the
executive council of the American
Federation Of Labor at Atlantic City
beginning August l.
Suggests Several Dates
ITO attend that meeting it will
tEen be necessary for me to leave
here few days before, that is, July
20 or 80. 1t may be advisable for
me to stop over a few hours in New
York to rest from possible fatigue
of the ride from this hotel before
going on the train to Atlantic City.
l, therefore, suggest that If 1t be
agreeable that the interview take
place in my apartment here in the
.Shelburne hotel, Tuesday, July 20,
or in the Hotel Aston, room 172, any
time that day.
Though not in nv usual robust
health, should like you to feel that
I am confident that the interview
which you suggest would have no
deleterious effect on me.
eff neither OF these suggestions
conform to your convenience, let me
say that [ expect to be in Atlantic
City at the Ambassador hotel, July
80. and for several days thereafter
where, if you care, the interview can
be held
Next came telegram from Mr..
Davis dated at Dark Harbor. Me-,
on July "a, and saying:

she could do in the dramatic line and

this truly remarkable play and brought
forth again and again the applause Of
the audience.

His excoriation of faithless wife, his

WHITE PRESS IN
FURY On COHEN
CONF|R|NAT| TON
preston News Service.)

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April S-The
confirmation OF Hon Walter l.. Cohen
who was twice rejected by the Uniteu
States Senate upon the insistence OF
HSenator Shipstead, Republican, mas
started a flood of editorial comment IN
the southern press denouncing the
north, President Coolidge and the Sen
ators who voted for confirmation OF
Cohen.
Some of the papers declare that II
is simply move to gather Negro votes
others claim that it will divide the Ne
gro vote, for Shipstead is Farmer
Labor Republican, and this Will tenu
to divide the Negro vote and give the
Democrats a better chance at Winning
the presidential campaign. In fact all
of the papers declare that it is shame
that New Orleans is made to suffer, but
democratic victory will soon relieve
their burden.
The following excerpts are typical OF
I'll >ress of the entire south anent the
" confirmation: The Commercial
Appeal, of Memphis says under the cap
tion Of Dividing the Negro Vote}'
The confirmation by the United
States Senate of the Negro politician,
Walter l.. Cohen, in the manner by
which it was brought about, is being
interpreted by political experts as hav
ing q national political significance.
obvious it is that the Farmer-Labor
-'ty seeks to divide. the ballots Of the
yroes in the states where such bar
might constitute balance OF pow
And it must appear that from now
on there will be considerable Of con-
test for such ballots. But THE Demo
Gratis Of the nation will not be worried
by any such conflict. To the contrary
it will be more water on the wheel by
which they have the most flatterlns
chance of grinding out another presr
dency for their party. The wider the op
position to the democratic party is di
vided and the closer its own strength is
consolidated, the bigger its majority
should be in the national elections
next November.
And this same editor concludes:
'It may be unfortunate that New Or
leans and surrounding territory is
made to suffer. but it seems assured
their suffering will not be for long.
Their sacrifice for sentiment will be
the suffering of those who imposed
such a sacrifice upon them"
The Birmingham Age-Herald spills
it's ink along this line:
n The appointment was pOliti-
cal and partly for the purpose of con-
ciliating the Negro vote of the North.
The appointee received the recognition
\ not because Of special fitness or ability
kas even an inadequate offset to the vic
lation of southern public sentiment. It
was deliberate slap at the southern
sense Of fitness and decency for the
sake of Republican votes. 1900. The
Republicans have done most uncivil
thing"
The Negro voters of the country fully
realize that the confirmation of Mr..
Cohen is typical of Republican princi-
pies and the southern papers are COR
rect when they declare that the act
will have national significance. Presi
dent Coolidge has won the everlasting
praise Of Negroes in all parts of the
country and the Republican party will
win the united support of all right
thinking Negro voters throughout the
North, and West, in fact wherever
their votes count.
