RACE PRESS ON WOOD. The Terre Haute (Ind.) New Emancipator has the following to say regarding the Wood candidacy: The Emancipator indorses the nomination of General Wood for president of the United States on the republican ticket. General Wood is the logical candidate for the Negro. His public utterances against lyneh ings and mob law, proved that he is a friend not only to the Negro but to every American. America needs 100 per cent Americans like Wood as leaders to make it a safe place for all Americans, black and white, to live in. Roosevelt is not dead for he lives today, speaks today and is rendering service to humanity today in the per son of General Leonard Wood. Ten million Negroes in the United States ought to vote solid for Wood. There is not a thinking voter in this county who is not going to vote for him. Soldiers and civilians alike are for the man who believes in a square deal and that is Wood. The Louisville (Ky.) News, now regarded one of the most forceful race newspapers in the “Blue Grass” < ountry has this to say about Gen eral Wood. The colored people in all southern states, thousands of whom saw serv ice in the Spanish-American war un der General Leonard Wood, are looking with appealing eyes to their brethren in the north, especially in Ohio, Illinois and Michigan, to go to their preferential primaries and cast their votes for this great soldier statesman, the friend and companion of the immortal Roosevelt, both of whom loved and fought for justice to all mankind, regardless of sex, color or condition.” The fighting Atlanta (Ga.) Inde pendent comes out equally strong in its endorsement of General Wood. "General Leonard Wood, the lead ing candidate (or the republican nomination is a representative Amer ican of the highest ideals of govern ment and worthy of any honor in the gift of the American people.” “I am for Leonard Wood for pres ident,” writes Charles Andrews of New York City, “because he is a re publican who believes in the Ameri can citizens, regardless of color or race.” “With Wood in the White house, the law of the land will have some chance for fair and reasonable ex pressions. That is why I am for the | general for president,” declared 1 George H. Walker, secretary of the I Chicago Wood league in a recent speech. major lycmi tells why AMERICANS ARE FOR WOOD Chicago, 111., April 11.—“One of the gratifying aspects of this unwavering advocacy of Americanism is that it I puts at rest the oft repeated state ment that the race wants social i privilege rather than civic rights. i"This is hot the case in any sense,” declared Major John R. Lynch in a recent speech delivered to a large mixed audience in this city. “What we want,” shouted this veteran of ; many hard fought campaigns, "is a fair chance to become American cit izens in fact as well as in state ment. Leonard Wood represents the operation of that principle and that makes him our first candidate for president.” ROCKDALE, TEXAS. There were services at all the ;churches Easter Sunday. Rev. A. B. Green and Rev. A. B. Lucas held services at their churches at 4 o’clock a. m. Easter Sunday. Both services were well attended. They preached on the “Resurrection of Christ.” At llo’clock Rev. A A. Lucas preached from the theme, ‘‘An Awful End to a Promising Life.” The Easter program was splendid at all the churches. Brother H. H. Davis conducted the B. Y. P. U. Sunday evening. The collection for the evening was $61.20. Brother B. Y. Acock is on the mend after a long illness. He is greatly missed in the church, and we pray : for his speedy recovery.
