First Time in History of Virginia that
Negroes Have Had Courage to
Announce and Maintain Their
Political Independence
Richmond, Va., Nov. 15—The in
dependent colored ticket made its
fight in the State and won its objec
tive, the complete annihilation of the
Lily Whites, Hon. Matt Lewis candi
date for U. S. senator and the three
congressional candidates all polled a
respectable vote and as a result the
Democrats for the first time in years
carried every district in Virginru.
Where there was no colored candi
date, the Negro voter supported the
Democrat in an effort as the state
ment issued by Mr. Lewis said, “to
assert our political freedom and do
the best we can for our own interests
and welfare.”
The four wards in Richmond gave
Claude A. Swanson, Democrat, 5266;
McGavoek 356; and Lewis, Indepen
dent, 167. In this district the colored
vote went to Montague, Democrat,
and he won over Ward by 5,000. C.
Bascomb Slemp’s district, the 9th, was
carried by the Democrats for the first
time in 12 years, Slemp’s father hav
ing held it prior to his ascendancy.
Slemp, the leader of Lily Whiteism,
saw the handwriting on the wall and
declined to run. Chairman Joseph G.
Pollard expressed himself as immense
ly pleased with the result. He said:
"Never before have the Negroes of
Virginia had the courage to announce
their political independence, and then
take the position to have it known
that they propose, in the future, to
make their indendence felt. In every
State similar movements to this one
in Virginia are taking shape, and
what the Virginians have done will
develop into an important force, and
in the next presidential contest the
Negro will be in splendid organization
to demand their proper recognition.”
INFLUENCE OF COLORED
NEWSPAPER IN POLITICS
RECOGNIZED IIV ALL
Chicago, 111., Nov. 24.—(Associated
Negro Press.)—Attention is directed
to the part played by colored news
paper in the recent election. Only a
limited number of the papers urged
their readers to “Vote the Straight
Republican Tltcket".
The majority of them gave preier
enefe to republican nows, while a num
ber gave liberal space to news of
local demcratlc candidates, and ac
cepted advertisements from both par
ties, as the dally papers do.
In a few instances, newspupers nor
mally republican, openly opposed cer
tain republican candidates.
Editorially the newspapers gave
carefully discriminating suggestions;
strong republican leaning with a
tempting flavor of Independence and
disappointment. Thousands of voters
throughout the country were guided
in their opinions by the information
obtained in the newspapers of their
group.
The newspapers were quoted both
in editorials and news articles by
stump speakers. The great influence
of colored newspapers is recognized
by all political parties, leaders, can
didates and the people themselves.

COLORED MAN WINS FOR
N. Y. STATE LEGISLATURE .
ON DEMOCRATIC TICKET
New York City, Nov. 24—One col
ored candidate won in New York, and
his victory was a big surprise. Law
yer Henri W. Shields, Democrat as
pirant from the 21st assembly dis
trict, was sent to the legislature. Bal
den, race Republican candidate, made
a good run, but the general disaffect
ion from the Republican ticket by
colored voters caused his defeat by a
few hundred. Oliver Randolph, the
only colored candidate in New Jersey
was elected to the legislature, while
Congressman Parker who voted again
st the Anti-Lynching Bill, bit the
dust. He was fought as bitterly by
colored voters as was Layton of Del
aware, who bit the dust when Robert
Nelson’s cohorts took the field against
him. Dupont suffered as a result.
Harry E. Davis of Cleveland lost for
the legislature. The terrific fight
against Pomorene by the labor unions
nullified whatever colored support he
won.
COLORED VOTERS ELECT
SOUTHERN CONGRESSMAN
WHO FAVORED DYER BILL
Houston, Texas, Nov. 24.—The only
Southern Congressman to vote for
the Anti-Lynching Bill was Congress
man Wurzbach of the 14th district,
returned to office Nov. 7 after a hard
battle. Wurzbach, who is a Republican
brought down the wrath of the white
Democrats and Republicans alike on
him after he was reported to have
addressed a colored meeting in Wash
ington and termed his audience,
“ladies and gentlemen.” The Demo
cratic candidate, Harry Hertzburg,
stooped to every means to defeat him,
addressing colored meetings and ac
cusing Wurzbach of tricking a well
known colored woman who applied for
a position.
The colored vote rallied to the Con
gressman and he admits his election
to their support.

of Colored Man.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN ACQUITTAL

near Youngsville, last June, failed to
agree on a verdict and Judgeg Wiliam

neys John Kennedy and Sidney Roos,
attorneys for young Herbert, urged

bert’s wife was abused and beaten and
knocked from the buggy in which they
rode, before he fired upon the assault
ing officers. District Attorney Percy
T. Ogden of Crowley, failed in his

been done without provocation.

fore a fast passenger train was due,
has been released after a commission
appointed to investigate her sanity
declared that she was sane, and she
confessed to having tied herself to the
tracks.
Local jail authorities doubted Miss
Moore’s statements, but she demon
strated a unique ability to knot her
hands behind her back. She was re
leased with instructions to leave this
county at once.
BERLIN ATTACKS STAND OF
BRITISH AGAINST NEGROES
Berlin, Nov. 22—“Strange in the
extreme" is the caustic greeting of the
Tageblatt to the announcement that
the British govemmen has prohibited
the Battling Siki-Joe Beckett fight on
the ground that it might arouse dan
gerous racial feelings and thus dam
age the interests of the British people.
“If black boxes white is is danger
ous,” remarks the newspaper, “but to
let loose blacks of all shades against
German soldiers, that doesn’t phase
the cultural point of view.”

—
Prominent Deputy Maintains that
Racial Conditions in France Are
Entirely Different to Those
in United States.
Paris, Nov. 23—"French Negroes
will take no part in the pan-black
revolution preached at the recent
meeting of the communist interna
tionale in Moscow,” said M. Candace,
a colored deputy, to the French par
liament from the Island of Guada
loupe. “They know that the Bolshe
viki wish to use them for their own
purposes. As "soon as they have
done their work the communists will
abandon them to white dictators.
Among the Negroes represented in
Moscow those of American nation
ality formed by far the largest part
because at present they represent
the most dissatisfied element of the
Negro race. We have heard that the
black man’s life in the United States
is surrounded with hundreds of
vexatious restrictions. In France it
is different. Here the color line does
not exist and Negroes enjoy equality
in law as well as in fact.”
M. Candace, who uttered these
words, is one of the ablest orators
in the French parliament. For years
he has been a member of the cham
ber of deputies from the West Indies.
With a broad high forehead, deep
bass voice, and a profusion of hirsute
adornments on his face, he reminds
one somewhat of the famous black
leafier, Toussaint L’Ouverture, who
founded the republic of Haiti. He
has become a well-known figure in
France.
Braise Diagne, deputy from West
Africa, a colleague of M. Candace,
has hard words to say against the
pan-African agitation initiated by
Marcus Garvey in the United States.

Atlanta, Ga„ Nov. 24—Identifica
tion of the members of the white mob
which attacked the home of Asbury
McCluskey, prominent colored citizen
of this community, wounded the man
himself and attempted to drive him
from the community, has resulted in
the filing of a suit for $50,000 against
the mobbists, by the Georgia Commis
sion on Inter-Racial Co-operation.
Under the leadership of Dr. T. J.
Wolfter, the commission is waging a
vigorous campaign against mob vio
lence and injustice, and for the de
velopment of a public sentiment that
will insure the protection of the life
and property of every citizen, irre
spective of color.
Governor Dorsey’s astounding exhib
its of lynchings and other injustices
were published and widely circulated
and created an impression which it
is believed will work immeasuieable
benefit.
The Commission has also drafted
and is working hard for the enact
ment of an effective anti-lynching law
and are throwing all of their efforts
to aid in carrying the Dyer measure
through.
A vitalized, collective power for
good, the Commission has investigated
numerous instances of outlawry and
mob reign, and are slowly, but none
the less surely, inculcating the strong

TELLS INTERESTING STORIES
Alleged Scion of Royal Ancestry Was
Brought to New York City When
Boy of Fourteen Years
of Age.
Springfield, 111., Nov. 24—A pre
tender to the trone of Abyssinia by
virtue of lineal descent from Menelik
II., shovels coal for the State of Illi
nois, according to the claims of that
shovel er, who is known here as T.
P. Newman. The story came out
when Newman happened to visit the
tomb of Lincoln and there signed the
visitor’s register.
“I’ve lived here since 1882,” New
man casually informed Herbert W.
Fay, custodian of the tomb, "and I
have never been to the tomb of Lin
coln before. Guess I’ll have to sign
my full real name.”
Knows “Ancestor’s” Picture.
Fay then drew from a large chest
a picture of the African ruler who
once thrashed an Italian army.
“That’s him. That’s the old man
himself,” ejaculated the local prince
incognito, registering immediate rec
ognition of the warlike visage.
Newman, according to his story,
was bom in England, where his fath
er was taken by a British general
who had captured him in a battle.
Newman represented his father as an
Abyssinian warrior of the royal blood
who was made a virtual slave by the
British commander. His mother, he
said, was an Abyssinian princess, who
was captured at the same time.
Wealthy, Arrives in New York
When he was an infant his mother
took him back to Abyssinia, he said,
where enemies spirited him out of
the country and sent him to New York
with a large sum of money at his dis
posal.
He was only 14 when he reached
New York, a wealthy young prince,
he said. The wealth soon disappear
ed in his ramblings over the country.
He became a laborer, married, and
as the years passed his identity and
his ambition to return were lost, he
said.
He now lives in a cottage here in
Springfield and works as a laborer
for the state. He is 55 and holds a
33rd degree in colored Masonry.

DELTA SIGMA THETA
EHTERS SORORITY
HORSE JT HOWARD
Significant Forward Movement Made
By Progressive College Women
of the Race at National
Institution.
BOBOBABT MEMBESS ASSIST
Sorority Has Nineteen Chapters in
Various Colleges Throughout the
Country and Has Wielded
Great Influence
Washington, D. C., Nov. 24.—An
other step forward was made in the
Negro Collegiate World when the
Alpha Chapter of the Delta Sigma
1 Theta Sorority at Howard University
on the first of November opened the
doors of its new sorsrity home at 603
Howard Place, N. W., Washington,
D. C. The sorority home is on the
university campus and affords to the
members of the sorority, who are
privileged to occupy it, convenient
access to the university buildings and
grounds and opportunity to enjoy both
the advantage of taking part in every
phase of student life at Howard and
the pleasure of the close contact to
be experienced in living together in
their own home.
After having made quite extensive
preparations the girls of the Delta
Sigma Theta now find themselves m
a beautifully appointed sorority home,
a place where each member of the or
ganization may go and feel that she
will find companionable friends at all
times. Dining hall arrangements are
also provided in the home and other
conveniences conducive to the com
fort of the girls have been supplied.
In addition to the cultured discipline
which the members of the sorority ob
serve, in keeping with the ideals of
their organization, the girls are for
tunate in having Mrs. Ernest Martin,
house mother, and Miss Lucy D.
Slowe, dean of women of Howard Uni
versity, to look after their interests
and advise them in all necessary mat
ters pertaining to the conduct of the
home. The officers of the Alpha Chap
ter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority,
which has undertaken the commend
able work of conducting a sorority
house, are Mrs. Cathryn G. Robinson,
president; Miss Eleanor Harper, vice
president; Miss Ameita Taylor, secre
tary; Miss Ethel Jones, corresponding
secretary; Miss Martha Jones, treas
urer, and Miss Virginia Ruffin, chap
lain.
In all the work which has been done
in connection with the arrangements
for the sorority home for the Alpha
Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta,
much encouragement and help by
contribution and otherwise have come
from the honorary members of the or
ganization. Among the honorar* wn
hers of the sorority living^ Wash
ington who were donors and who
cave other assistance in providing the
home were; Mrs. A. H. Glenn, Miss
Nannie H. Burroughs, Mrs. Mary
Church Terell, Mrs. George W Cook,
Mrs. Emmet J. Scott, Mrs. Gabrielle
Pelham, Mrs. D. W. Woodard and
others. Much assistance has also come
from the members of the Beta Beta
Chapter, the graduate chapter of the
sorority located at Washington and
composed of members of the sorority
living in Washington who have grad
uated from Howard and other schools
where there are chapters of the or
ganization.
At present the Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority has nineteen chapters. It was
organized at Howard University in
1913 and since its organization its in
fluence has been carried to many of
the leading co-educational institutions
throughout the United States. Of the
nineteen chapters in the sorority three
chapters are occupying houses. It is
most interesting to note the rapid
growth and the helpful influence of
such fraternity organizations in the
life of the Negro college women.
