THE t AROUSED

The tremendous growth in the as
soc;ation's membership during the war
years Of 1917 and 1913, furnished II
with the financial means to make q
more determined fight against lynch
ing. The 1918 lynching record total
Cd az Negroes end 4 whites. A
great number of Investigations were
conducted and nationwide publicity
was obtained through the associations
efforts. A number of public OF
ficials in the South including sheriffs
and Judges, took a determined stand
against mob-violence. The efforts OF
the association aroused strong and
favorable editorial comment IN many
southern newspapers and a wave of
press condemnation of lynching
! throughout the nation. The publicity
given the N. A. A. C. P. investiga-
tons and news stories was chiefly in
strumental in forcing President Will
son to make a pronouncement against
~ylnching on July 26, 1918.
I The association had made lynching
land mob violASe a national issue.
In 1919 it called the First National
Conference on Lynching where 120
distinguished leaders Of American
opinion focused national opinion upon
the menace It circulated widely an

nomination for S~enatorship il the

any strong democrat Of Douglas
County would want his weakness
shown up by Governor Bryan's strong
popularity in the out Of state coun-
ties, for the Democratic nomination.
From all indications the Republican
nomination for Senatorship will be
between the Honorable Rorebr Smith.
Omaha's and Douglas County's most
popular pubic service and clerk of

filed by petition in the last ace for
the two regular party nominees, De-

about his popularity in Douglas
County, county, he is loved by people
in all walks of life, for he never says

by both his enemies and his friends
when in trouble, and seemly he mas

ing pursued by mail, telephone and

Without a doubt, Wheery is the
most popular outstate progressive
Republican we have today and if
Senator Wheery files it is said. that
he will have the organization behind
him that supported him in his last
campaign for Governor. His friends
are considering holding a meeting out
in the Central part Of the state in
the e future to create a public
sentiment, that will force him to file
for u s. Senator. Senator Wheery
seems to be in the air as to what he
really wants to do. 1t is said by his
friends if he files for U. S. Senator
with his popularity in the state and
with Robert Smiths popularity in
Douglas County and the friends he
made in the last state campaign it
will make the Republican Senatorial
nomination a very hot fight between
two progressive Republicans.

1t Pays to Use Electricity

That is a slogan used by the Ne

done much to advertise Omaha
throughout the United States as well
as providing an alluring invitation to

company point with pardonable pride
to the fact that the price of electrici-
ty has been reduced 62.4 per cent
since 1918. Even during the boom
days of the late '2G's the price of
electricity in Omaha continued its
downward trend while other prices
were skyrocketing.
In Connection with the low price Of

to note that housewives best under

FIRST STEP AGAINST LYNCHING

When the association was founded
there had been 1924 lynchings since
1882. During the ten years from
1899 to 1908 inclusive. $50 lynchings
had occurred, 857 colored and 102
white; % shaving been burned, one a
woman and two of them children.
Steps were Immediately taken to
fight the evil. 1t WIS decided to
raise a fund to investigate a lynch
ing in some chosen locality. Nearly
$500 was immediately raised and by
January IL, 1912, the fund had grown
to S4OO.67 and the investigation start
ed. @
The association became almost i'm
mediately known nationally through
it's Investigations and its publicity in
magazines and newspapers. When
Robert Johnson. an innocent Negro,
was lynched at Bluefield, w. Va,
James Oppenheim, noted writer,
volunteered his services and wrote a
graphic account of his investigation
IN the The Independent. When a
white mob invaded a hospital at
Coatesville- Pa, removed a negro and
burned him. the association hire Will

In 1918, the association investigated
six lynchings in Virginia, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, Louisiana and South Dako-
ia. 1t also obtained the introduction
of an anti-lynching bill into the Pen
nslyvania legislature. The association
at this time IN getting favorable con-
~sidoration for its publicity and just
treatment of the Negro in the news.
It succeeded finally, however, in get
ting over 100 daily newspapers to
change their position on lynching and
Z other topics concerning the Negro.
AS the association grew older, the
number of its Investigations increased.
In january, 1916, a special agent
was sent to investigate the lynchlng
and terrorism which had driven $500
Negroes out Of Dawson, Cherokee and
Forsyth counties, Georgia. Another
agent collected facts and photographs
on the burning Of Jesse Washington
Nav is, at Waco, Texas.
A drive was started to raise a
fund of $4,000 to start an antl-lynch-
ing crusade. Fifty thousand copies
of the Waco Horror were puDllsneo
as a supplement to The Crisis ano
$4,000 copies distributedat the ex-
pense of the association. N. A. A. Z.
p. branches cooperated magnificent
". Over 10000 appeals were
broadcast. In less than four months
the $4,000 was raised.
Investigations were also made ina
