IS NEGRO DELEGATES
AWAIT COP MEET IN chr

Washington -(ANP)- There
will be Is Negro delegates and
u alternates from Is states and
the District of Columbia attend
ing the Republican convention
which opens in Chicago ON Mon
day, The total number of dele
gates will be 1858 and an equal
number of alternates.
As is usual. Mississippi's dele
cation headed by the veteran
Perry w. Howard. will be the
largest single group of Negroes.
Howard will have four delegates
and five alternates providing they
are not thrown out as a result of
Il contest which is u foregone con
clusion.
Four other states, Illinois,
Louisiana, Michigan and New
York, will send two delegates
each. One delegate will come
from these states Arkansas, Kan
sas, Maryland, Missouri, Penn
sylYania and the District of Col
umbia.
Seven states which are not send
ing Negro delegates are, however,
sending alternates. They are
California, Florida, Massachusetts
New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee and
West Virginia.
Apart from Mississippi, contests
are anticipated in seating the
Florida, Georgia, Missouri and
Tennessee delegations. Perhaps
the more important will be Mis-
sissippi and Georgia. In both
the black and tan group will be
be opposed by lily-white elements.
One old-time political observer
here who chose to remain uniden-
titled, bemoaned the drop in the
number of Negro delegates at
tending the convention. I'VE did
much better in 1910 than We are
doing now" he said. 1--WE have
no one from Ohio, no one from
West Virginia, and only one from
Missouri whereas before we had
three.

proach, including an adequate
budget request, to 60 before the
next session Of the Legislature.
President Davis further point
cd out to the Board that "the
Negroes have no opportunity to
attend an accredited institution
within the state. All other state
supported colleges in Arkansas
are accredited. Recently, prob
