PRAISE FOR NEGRO TROOPS.
Tenth Cavalry’s March to Casas
Grandes Fine Record, Funston Says.
San Antonio, Tex., March 18—Dan
ger to four hundred American Mor
mon colonists at Colonia Dublan was
removed today by the arrival of a
portion of Colonel Dodd’s cavalry col
umn there. Dublan is south of Casas
Grandes, which the United States
troops have left behind. The Tenth
Cavalry, Negroes, reported to have
been the first to enter Mexico, south
of Hachita, early Thursday, composed
the Dublan relief party.
The march of Colonel Dodd’s forces
from Hachita to Casas Grandes, a dis
tance of slightly over one hundred
miles, is said by General Funston to
be one of the finest marching records
held in American army history.
Funston stated that smaller bodies
of picked men had made marches of
seventy miles in twenty-four hours,
but that for a large force to maintain
an average speed of fifty miles a day
in rough, desert country is most re
markable.
Led by Mormons who had left their
families in Dublan, Dodd’s horsemen
were in the saddle almost continuously
for sixty hours. Spurred on by re
ports that the colonists were in danger
of massacre by Villistas, the troopers
covered one hundred miles of the most
difficult desert country in Chihuahua
on forced marches that will go down
in the annals of army history. The
column took advantage of the knowl
edge of the Mormon scouts, who knew
every water hole, trail and road along
the route.
NEW REGISTRATION LAW.
Oklahoma City, March 10.—The
Democrats of the state in a special
session of the legislature adopted a
general registration law and submit
ted an amendment to the constitution
that will presumably prevent most of
the race men of this state from voting.
The law requires that no person that
did not vote in November, 1914, can
vote now. Under the new law a race
man will be shut out entirely. The
same law is what broke up a session of
the present legislature in a free-for-all
fight. There are wordings in the bill
which when sought to straighten out
only a very few men of the race will
ever be able to cast a vote in the state
of Oklahoma. This new law is simply
the “Grandfather” clause hashed out,
changed around and reworded.
JIM CROW BILL FAILS.
Annapolis, Md., March 10.—Balti
more will have no “Jim Crow” cars
for the next two years at least, the
judiciary committee of the House of
Delegates having made an unfavorable
report on the bill introduced by Del
* egate McCusker, of Baltimore City.
No one took the bill seriously, and
among its strongest opposers were
city Democrats.
A NOTED BANDMASTER RESIGNS
Advices from the Philippines state
that Walter H. Loving, for fifteen
years conductor of the Philippines
Constabulary Band, has retired with
honor with the rank of major. The
well-known bandmaster is said to have
found it necessary to relinquish his du
ties as conductor of the famous musi
cal organization because of ill-health.
CONFERENCE OF COLORED
REPUBLICANS HELD
Representatives from the states of
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma to the number of thirty met
in Kansas City, Kans., February 22,
for a conference on the political situa
tion in the western states, and took
preliminary steps towards forming a
permanent organization. The com
mittee on permanent organization con
sists of the following: John Grant
Pegg, Nebraska, chairman; L. H.
Bradbury, Missouri, secretary; F. J.
McNeil, Oklahoma; J. A. Graves,
Iowa; James H. Guy, Kansas. The
committee on resolutions of which Mr.
Pegg of Nebraska was chairman, pre
sented the following which were
adopted:
RESOLUTIONS.
We, the colored republicans of the
Western states in convention assem
bled, assert our faith in the doctrines
and principles of the republican party.
We deplore the industrial and finan
cial depression wrhich prevails
throughout the country as a result of
democratic rule and incompetent ad
ministration of the tariff policy. We
believe the re-enactment of a protec
tive tariff law absolutely essential to
the return of prosperity among us.
We look upon the republican party
as the dominant political organization
in this country and we therefore look
to it for such wise, just and courage
ous legislation and administration as
will be conducive of justice to all
men
We are adverse to segregation in
any and all of its forms in the politi
cal affairs of our government.
We deplore lynching and mob vio
lence wherever found as crimes
against civilization and forthe preven
tion of it wre favor such rational legis
lation as will make it an offense
against the national government and
will give to the federal court juris
diction in all such cases.
We look with hope for the success
of the republican party in the coming
national campaign and to the end that
it may be successful we favor the as
sociation of our people with the local
party organization, to their smallest
units throughout the states.
We condemn the recent action of the
legislature of the state of Oklahoma
in its attempt to nullify the decision
of the supreme court of the United
States by the enactment of legisla
tion to disfranchise the Colored voters.
We favor the adoption by the republi
can party, in its next national con
vention, of a plank in ite platform de
claring for the strict enforcement, ac
cording to the letter and spirit of the
second section of the fourteenth
amendment of the Constitution, to -the
end that the representation in con
gress of any and all states shall be
commensurate with the number of cit
izens w ho vote in such states.
We recommend that we ask the na
tional committee to recommend to the
next national convention the selection
of two Negroes to serve on the next
national committee with the full
rights and privileges of other commit
teemen and that one be selected from
the Eastern portion of this country
and the other from the Western por
tion.
