Perhaps the most sensational shake up was the shifting of presiding eld er*. a thing least expected In read lasting the work in harmony with the merger of the Kansas Conference and the Nebraska Conference, the presiding elders prepared the plan, There were contentions, and often were heard. "My district ought to have this," and “That is not fair to my district-" The bishop warned. “Better not contend so strongly for no one may have the same district, when the conference is over:" but no one took it seriously and all were sur prised when his intimation became a reality. In this shift, H. W. King, went from the Topeka District to the Wichita District; R S Everett, who had served the Wichita District seven yean, became presiding elder of the Topeka District. W. B Brooks, a veteran of nearly sixty years service, was made presiding elder of the Omaha District, and R. A. Adams, was changed from the Omaha District and assigned to the Kansas City Dis trict. nearly all of the churches of which are in Kansas City, Kansas.

Church were associated with Bishop Gregg in the work of the conference. Bishop John son delivered the ordination sermon, Sunday morning and Bishop Hamlett shared in the same service. The Sun day evening sermon was delivered by Dr. J. A. Clayborne, editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, pub lished at Little Rock, Arkansas. The entertaining pastor w-as Dr. J. R. Ransom, who is serving his second pastorate at this charge, and whose report was one of the two big church reports that did not show a deficit. This veteran of forty-five years ser vice in the ministry was given a great ovation when he made his re port, and when the bishop assigned him to this charge for another year. Among visitors present were Bish op W. D. Johnson, 14th District, AME Church; Bishop J. A. Hamlett,' CME Church; Mrs. W. D. Johnson, wife of Bishop Johnson; Prof. W. D. Johnson, president of Campbell Col lege. Jackson. Mississippi, and Mr. Alvin Johnson, sons of th bishop; Dr. T H. Simms, editor of Negro Star and leading Baptist clergyman; Mrs. H. T. Sims, associate editor Negro Star; Mrs. Celia Gregg, wife of Bish op John A. Gregg; Dr. John H. Clay bome, editor Southern Christian Re corder In his annual address and otner jtterances. Bishop Gregg expressed nimself forcefully in regard to var. ous issues. He emphatically declar 'd, "The A ME. Church stands for aw enforcement and against repeal if the 18th Amendment.” The Bish op insisted that he cannot see “the consistency in changing the national kiministration, turning out men who lave had large experience is manage. nent of large financial interests to . .t in those who,* however honest, nust experiment while the depression langs on and prosperity is delayed.” Bishop Gregg gave to the ministers s me sound advice in regard to the • nduct of the affairs of the church.; in his address is found this caution: J ‘My advice to ministers is that we do j not add to the burdens of the people j dv foolish building programs or un necessary expansions; rather let us; make it a debt-lifting and a mortgage j P ying era. and relieve the people of these heavy burdens.” Another con . gorous, upstanding, fearless minis tention was, “These times call for a claim the gospel, by both precept and example, that the people will see, at one that their future good lies alone in the church.” Bishop J. A. Hamlett took the try that so convincingly will pro ground that the Negro church must supply leadership for the race. One of the terse statements was, “The Negro Church must save the Negro people from their own sins and the sins committed against them by oth ers; it must furnish interpretation of the Christ-way of life; it must supply leadership for the Negro peoples, for no others are as well qualified for this task; and it must supply the ex ample of the Negro’s capacity for self-government and self-expression. ’ Though serving the church in Tex as Bishop W. D. Johnson expressed the fear that the Democrats might get control of the government and Mr Gamer, a radical southerner, make his way into the “White House” which would be dangerous for the Negroes of the country. He urged support of the Republican party. The most sensational appointment of the whole conference was the as signment of Bishop W. T. Vernon, to the church at North Topeka. It - well known that the last General Con ference relieved Bishop \ ernon of of episcopal supervision for four years and his explanation of this acceptance of a charge is, “1 am a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ; 1 cannot afford to be idle four years; I must preach the gospel; so I applied to Bishop Gregg for work in order that I might continue to preach and render service." And no doubt, this stand laken will win to Bishop \ ernon the commendation of all right-thinking people. Lb?t of Appointments Kansas-Nebraska Conference Topeka District—R. S.

O'Connor Considerable interest has been aroused the past few weeks in the race for the office of Register of Deeds. Thomas J. O’Connor, the Democratic candidate for the office has been assured considerable support by our people because of his fairness to all nationalities and creeds. He has an excellent record and deserves to be elected. Mr. O’Connor was bom the 27th of April, 1885, was educated at the Creighton University, he was Clerk of Police Court from 1912 to 1916. City Clerk from 1916 to 1918 and in the Automobile Tire business from 1918 to 1930. Deputy City Comp troller from 1930 to the present time, and we know that we will have rep resentation in the Register of Deeds office if Thomas J. O’Connor is elect ed. C. Homer Burdette O--- o f DYSART UNDERSTANDS PEOPLE o -—--— o I 1 JOHN T. DYSART John T. Dysart, candidate for Dis trict Judge, has had a varied exper ience that peculiarly fits him for that position. Mr. Dysart was raised on a farm of 640 acres, on which was conducted a dairy, and later made his way through school by sowing wheat in the fall, and harvesting and resowing it dur-1 ing the next vacation. Mr. Dysart was graduated from the University of Nebraska Law School, and that same fall was nomi nated and elected County Judge of his own county. His youtht and the responsibility of the office attracted much atten tion. He was re-elected for the second term, and later elected for a second term, and elected County Attorney, and during this time lived in a town of about one thousand in habitants. Mr. Dysart moved to Omaha in 1909, and has been in the general practice of law there ever since. He was honored by being elected President of the Omaha Bar Associa tion in 1922. Mr. Dysart’s experience on the farm i in town, and city, gives him an equal understanding of the problems of the : people of this district, which in con nection with his even and judicial tem ! r,Qrament insures that the people of all occupations, and their rights will be given the same careful, courteous, and conscientious consideration. Mr. Dysart has received the en dorsement of the Bar of Douglas, Washinrton. and Burt Counties as one to be elected District Judge, and we believe merits your vote.

P. and Assails Senator Watson. (Continued from Page 1) Where the margin is close the Negro as a minority group can use his ballot most effectively and this the Negro is rapidly learning. Mr. White severely scored Senator James E. Wat son of Indiana for his vote in the Senate in favor of con firming the Parker nomination. “For the past two years,” said Mr. White, “apolo gists for Senator Watson have busily been telling Negroes that he did not want to vote for Parker and did so only by reason of the pressure upon him as majority leader in the Senate exerted by the White House. Senator Watson chose to follow the President rather than to stand up for his Negro constituents. The best case his friends can make out for him is that he was weak in submitting to political pressure. He must now take the political con sequences. “The Negro in Indiana, as elsewhere throughout the United States, is now for the first time in a position where all parties are angling for his support. He realizes that in the dark days of the present and the dark and dan gerous days of the future, there are issues at stake which transcend the petty interests of professional politicians of his own or of the white race. This is no time for the Negro to ‘forgive and forget’ such betrayal as that of Senator Watson. “The Negro in America today is literally fighting for his life. He is fighting for a chance to work, to be a full-fledged citizen with all the rights the Constitution guarantees. He is ready to play the game of politics as white men have taught him through long years of bitter education to play it. He can no longer be counted upon as the chattel of any political party and it is my prediction, based on information which comes to the National Asso ciation for the Advancement o fColored People from all parts of the United States, that the era of the Negro’s new political independence will be plainly stablished in the coming national election. Negro Democrats Hold Mo. State Convention (By Harry Leland) President, Nebraska Demeratic Club. • • • Some time ago I was invited by Dr. Wra. Thompkins of Kansas City, (something unheard of before.) A Negro State Democratic Conven tion, to be held at Jefferson Ctty, Mo, October lfith, 1932. Of course I did not want to miss thi_- opportunity of attending the first Negro Democratic Convention ever held in history, so on Saturday, Oct. 15th, Mrs. Leland and I left for Jef ferson City, where we received the most agreeable surprise of our lives. Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, of Kansas City, through his untiring efforts had called together Negro Delegates from J6 Counties of the State of Missouri for the purpose of holding the first Negro Convention in my and your life time The convention was called to order at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, from temporary organization, they went in to a permanent organization, Dr. Thompkins was elected permanent Chairman for a period of Four years, his election was by acclamation. To Dr. Thompkins the Negroes of Miss ouri owe a debt of gratitude that they can never repay. It was through his untiring efforts that the Negroes of K. C.. Mo., have one of the most modern and best equipped Hospitals in the United States, presided over by a very emmi nent and able Negro Physician, Dr. Miller. We had the pleasure of in specting this hospital and found it neat, clean and equipped with the lat est equipment known to modern science, this is the hospital that was promised to the Negroes by the Re publicans for the past 16 years, just promised, and now a dream made pos sible by the Democratic regime of Missouri. After the Convention had adjourned all delegates and others attending the convention, retired to the Park where a splendid barbecue and program was held, the assembly was addressed by Congressman Regan of Arkansas, nev er listened to a more wonderful or masterful address in all my life. Congressman Regan stated that even though the Negroes had fought the Democratic party for 68 years, the Democratic party was more than will ing to meet the Negroes half way. and also said that the Democratic party would give to the Negroes more than empty promises, that they would see to it that the Negro would receive ma terial things, things that would be of aid to the eatire group. Dr. Thompkins responded to Con gressman Regan, in a very able man ner, saying in part, go back to your People of the South-land and say to them that the Negroes has awakened to the faet that they cannot fight a people and expect favors of that peo ple, tell them that Missouri, Nebraska and many, many other states are go ing to cast their lot with the Demo cratic party and should that Party be victorious they will then ask them for ; the reward that they will have then earned, and it will then be up to the Democrats to deliver, which he was sure they would do. In my address, I said to that gath ering of Negroes that the Negroes of Nebraska was away out in the front ranks fighting for Democratic victory | in November, and that before another j year would roll around I was sure we i in Nebraska would hold a State Con vention, Shall we fellow Democrats?
