In presenting the publishers

the Negro press was young in COM

HOT FIGHT LOOMS
FOR POSTAL POST

Washington area, but making some
progress around New York.
Candidate Carter, of Chicago, lost
ground before the convention, it is
reported, with the Philadelphia
contingent which was alleged to
have been solidly lined. up behind
him along with his own delegation
in Chicago, Wavering at the last
moment and deciding it was
against better judgment to support
the Chicago candidate.
1t had been said that Ford, sens
ing the candidacy of G. N. T. Gray,
induced Carter to run on the as
sumption that he would have
Ford's support should he stand by
his original statement that he was
not candidate for reelection.
However, Carter soon founo out
that Ford had no intention of not
running for the office of president,
and in spite of the about effort
Carter made, his chances before the
convention are dwindling fast.
New York had committed itself,
as far as the delegates to the con-
vention are concerned, to support
Ford, but since the ballots are cast
before the convention by the entire
membership, it may be that the del
egates' votes will not amount to
much.
Before the convention assemblies,
the votes cast for the incoming Of
ficers are safely locked in a post Of
flee box at the scene of the conven-
ton. Only in case the committee on
elections fails to find that a candi-
date has been eelcted by the mail
vote of the entire organization do
they bring the election to the floor.
Besides the four candidates for
president, there are eight candi-
dates for treasurer's post; Bomar is
a candidate to succeed himself as
secretary although one group had
planned to name a woman condi-
date for the position of secretary;
Snow Grigsby also is a candidate
to succeed himself as editor of the
official organ.

Persons was chased for two day.

his wounds. Person, however, fed

Stricken said he heard no more
from Persons and assumed he had
escaped. Nothing more was heard
from the soldier until his body
was discovered in a bush Al DAYS
later with his head resting on
rolled-up sweater.
Coleman said that Sheriff Trier-
weller and several others had been
prevailed upon by Stricken to
abandon the chase by the sheriff
OF Edgar county, but that nine
others members Of the gang con-
tmued to pursue Persons. The
mob dispersed when they failed to
relocate him.

WASHINGTON - CAMP = One
of the hottest pre-convention fights
in the 30-year history of the or
genization is being waged by the 4
candidates for the presidency of
the National Postal alliance, which
meets in St. Louis during August.
Although the white organization,
similar to this one, has cancelled it's
convention this year on account of
war conditions, the alliance feels
that internal affairs demand this
meeting originally scheduled for
Los Angeles, but changed to St.
Louis because of the war.
Observers are watching closely
the political moves being made by
candidates commenting particularly
on Lafayette Ford's actions. After
declaring he would not be a candi-
6ate for reelection, Mr.. Ford came
out and flat-footedly advertised
that he was candidate.
Following that, roId made a
quick trip through the territory
where votes were thickest, failing
to make much Roadway in tie
