ELECTS DELEGATES TO CLEVELAND A large audience comfortably filled St. John’s A. M. E. church last Sun day afternoon at the regular weekly meeting of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. The president pre sided. This was the first meeting of the branch at which reports of the of ficers were read. The president sub mitted a brief report of his work since his election in November. The secretary submitted her report of the branch activities. There was an ani mated discussion and a wholly un called for attempt at filibustering over the election of delegates to the Cleveland convention. The executive committee had undertaken to elect delegates to the convention. The president. Rev. John Albert Williams, took the position in which he was sus tained by the majority of those pres ent, that the executive committee had no more business to elect delegates than it had to elect the officers of the association. Several speakers, among whom were J. D. Crum, J. N. Thomas, Dr. Madison and Nate Hunter, sup ported this view. Rev. W. C. Wil liams, Amos P. Scruggs and W. H. Ransome maintained that the execu tive committee had supreme power to transact all the business of the as sociation. J. D. Crum called this oligarchy and not democracy. The Rev. W. C. Williams catechized the chairman as to his interpretation of the powers of the executive commit tee and asked what delegated author ity meant. The chairman replied that powers of the executive committee; were confined to those functions dele- | gated to it by the constitution. There' was divided opinion as to the number I of delegates who should he sent, Miss Madre Penn. Mrs. H. W. Rlaek and Cyrus D. Bell contending that the item of expense should Iv* considered as a determining factor. It was final ly decided to send three delegates. Four candidates wr nominated. Rev. John Albert Williams. Miss Madre Penn, Airs. Jesse H. AIoss and All's. James G. Jewell. It was decided to dispense with a written ballot and to elect hv a standing vote. As the nresident was a nominee he called Vice President Scruggs to the chair. Air. Scruggs’ arbitrary and railroad methods for the brief time he was in the chair were so unparliamentary and unfair that his actions were se verely criticized. The Monitor con tends that his actions could not be too drastically criticized. He refused to recognize persons who were per fectly in order and wished to speak and in his evident design to steam roll issues failed to put the proper ouestion. When the president resumed the chair, the suspended rules cf par liamentary procedure were resumed, the nominees were taken up in order "ml voted unon. Aliss Penn declined to be voted unon, declaring that in her judgment the association was not :n ‘ho position to bear such a finan cial strain as the sending of so many delegates would entail. The follow ing were declared elcted: Rev. John Albert Williams, Mrs. Jesse Hale AIoss nod Airs. James G. Jewell. The Rev. Dr. E. H. McDonald, a prominont Baptist minister of Pitts burg. Pa., was presented to the as sociation and made a brief and most happy acknowledgement of his intro duction. POL LA’ANN V DANCING SCHOOL OPENS AUSPICIOUSLY The Pollyanna dancing school which Mesdames Brown, Buford and Miss Lena Paul are conducting at the So cialist hall, Twenty-first and Cuming street opened last Saturday afternoon with twenty-five pupils.

PITTSBURG WEDDING INTERESTS OM A HANS The marriage of Aliss Eleanor Pul press, daughter of Mrs. Belle Pul press of Pittsburg, Pa., to Mr. Wil liam Garnett Haynes, formerly of Washington, D. C., but now of Oma ha, was solemnized in the Episcopal | church of the Holy Cross, Pittsburg, Monday, June 2, by the Rev. Shelton Bishop, rector, in the presence of about thirty guests. The attachment which has resulted in this happy un ion began when Mr. Haynes was a student of the University of Pitts burg, where he specialized in chemis try and of which institution he is an honor graduate. The bride is a mem ber of one of Pittsburg’s first fam ilies and is a young woman of cul ture and refinement. Mr. and Mrs. Haynes will be at home after Septem ber 1, at 1119 North Twenty-first street. The Monitor extends congratula tions. Airs. Stewart’s Pupils in Recital. A recital will be given by the pupils ] of Mrs. J. Alice Stewart at Zion Bap- . tint church, Tuesday evening, June 17. ! CONDOLENCE COMMITTEE REPORTS Omaha, June 5, 1919. Mrs. Leila Walker Robinson, Lewaro, Irvington on the Hudson, New York. My Dear Mrs. Robinson: The Omaha branch of the National Asociation for the Advancement of Colored People, do hereby tender their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family of Madame Sarah J. Walker, who passed away on the 25th day of May, 1919, at Lewaro, Irvington on the Hudson, New York. Madame Walker conceived and achieved a success that is remarkable and distinctive. She was ambitious and proved herself to be a woman who was a financier of the first rank. Her financial success, which was pronounced, and her fortune, which was colossal, are not the things which made her great. It was rather, the rare, sweet, simple spirit of the wom an—the spirit of sympathy and help fulness, and race loyalty. This is the thing that endeared her to all and has made of her life an incentive and an inspiration. It has pleased Almighty God to re move from our midst, and call from a wondrous labor to a just reward, your mother and our friend. It Is easy to offer words of sympathy to those in sorrow; it is harder to fully suffer with them, but all of America mourns the passing of Madame Walk er. Her portrait will ever be a vision before them. Your loss is great; your grief great er; but greatest of all is the solace which comes from the abiding faith that what is the soul of Madame Walker shall never die. Comforting indeed are those words of Tennyson. We send them to you believing that their message will cheer you: Strong Son of God, immortal love. Whom we, that have not seen thy face, By faith, and faith alone, embrace. Believing where we cannot prove; Though wilt not leave us in the dust: Thou madest man, he knows not why; He thinks he was not made to die; And thou hast made him; thou art just. Thou seemest human and divine, The highest, holiest manhood thou: j Our wills are ours, we know not how; I Our wills are ours, to make them i thine. Oui little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be: i They are but broken lights of thee, And thou, O Lord, art more than | they. Very sincerely yours, committee: MADREE PENN, Secretary. MRS. J. ALICE STEWART. MRS. HAZEL TERRY LEWIS. MR. NATE HUNTER. MR. M. F. SINGLETON. FOR SALE—A nice home for Colored family; easy terms.
