VOL. XXVI
RALEIGH LETTER .
Special Correspondence.
Raleigh, Oct. 12.—Raleigh and
other people who heard the speech
of Senator Simmons -at Bailey
(and there were over three thou
sand there) pronounce it one of
the ablest campaign addressee and
most convincing political speeches
* they ever heard the Senator make
—and that is .going some, Ijor
while there msy be some more
"eloquent" public men. in the
world, there are few thdt can keep
the pace with our, senior Senator
when comes to a convincing
argument fortified by the knowl
edge of public affairs which he
possesses, largely acquired by ex
perience in that high school of
politics/ the United States Senate.
Senator Simmons placed the re
sponsibility where it belonged
when he explained what effect the
failure of the Republican Senate
to ratify the treaty has had and is
the price of commodi
> ties, for Instance, and when the
purpose of the monied • men of
Wall Street and other "big busi
ness" interests is being repeated
this year, as ofjen before, to so
manipulate the markets as to have
the political effect the Republi
cans desire. The .present situa
tion in the cotton and tobacco
markets was accounted for by the
Senator, in part, through political
machipation of the party that has
always felt little or no interest in
the farmer! of the South. A Re
publican Congress has been in
power fox the two years, yet
they think people are fools enough
to believe the accusation thaUthe
Democrats are responsible for all
the bad things and the Republi
cans sponsors for all the good
things of life.
Big Week In Raleigh Coming.
■ Raleigh in dressing up for fho
Great State Fair, and the annual
Rehnion of Tar Heel Folks which
is going to pack this town with v
visitor* from all over ,the State
next week. The State Fair will
be formally opened Tuesday, 19th,
but many find much interest in
wat&hfng the setting up of the
main attractions on Monday of
each Fair week. *
Secretary Pogue and Assistant-
Secretary Denson have been
buckling down to work for weeks,
bookiug the entries of all kinds
and looking after the splendid im
provements on the track and mid
way grounds: The races will be
particularly fast and strong, and 1
the rejuvenated track will help
out fine.
Still Urging Negro Women to Vote,
Notwithstanding the advice of
J. D. Dudley, president of the
agricultural and mechanical col
lege for negroes at Greensboro, in
a statement urging the negroes,
both male and female, to "keep
out of politics this year," qhe
Raleigh "Independent/' a weekly
paper which has the secretary of
the negro Republican State com
mittee for its managing editor,
continues to calf on |he negro
women to- register tad vote. In
deed, the negro Republican com
mittee State secretary is so hot on
the trail of the negro woman voter
that he has called in assistance to
prosecute the purpose to get the
names of as many women on )he
registration books as possible.
This new adtition to the "staff"
is annonnced as Professor Charles
H. Moore, "former State super
visor of rurual schobls under the
Rosenwald fund." (There is gen
erally a "fund" in the woodpile
when the negro is urged to politi
cal activity.)
This new "contributing editor*
doesn't seem to know how to use
an editorial page. But one thing
he makes Clear, apd that is that
he is on the job to make the negro
women register if possible. His
first effusion is directed against
the Charlotte Observer, which
had almost allowed the trail to
grow cold after printing the Dud
ley statement.
The point to be emphasized here
is that white men and women
must not allow themselves to be i
. 1 •

IHE ALAMAJSCJi uLEAiNER
cajoled into the belief that the
pnrpose of the negro State Repub
lican committee, and Jhe balance
of the negro politicians, toregfstei
the negro women has been aban
doned. The menace is as real to
day as it was two weeks ago. Tin
- only way to secure thetnselv.it
against the bad results of the
menace is for the WHITE WO
MEN TO REGISTER EVERY
WHERE AND IN (LARGE NUM
BERS.
Ton Know the Price.
It is "eternal vigilance." Th*t
old adage has not been repeakd
ana it is .as true now .as ever.
■ Chairman Warren, of the State
I Democratic committee, who has
I been conducting the campaign ai
State headquarters here, is feel
ing fine (thank you) and he is ex
pecting a record vote for the State
and National tickets on November
2nd. But he is. not taking any
chances, and he is not advisiup
any of his district and county
lientenants Tx> take any.' A politi
cal victoiy is never won until
enough votes are safely in the bal
lot boxes. Therefore there shoulti
be no relaxation of effort until
sundown on election day.
Morrison's magnificent cam
paign in the western counties the
past two weeks, aided by other
splendid Democrats on the stump,
has put a lot of enthusiasm in the
people of thaosection. "No such
campaign, no such turnout of the
people, since the days of Zeb
Vance," is the report made by all
the newspaper men who have beeu
reporting the triumphant march
of our militant candidate for
Governor.
In the east and in the central
counties, the paramount duty now
is to get the white women to reg
ister and vote. Many will do so
voluntarily, but many more will
thjnk it "not necessary," unless
they realize that point of view is
a mistake. Women as a rule will
do what they conceive to be
THEIR DUTY when !jhey wouldn't
do anything else. Help them to
realize the necessity of voting sod
they will quickly see and perform
their duty. There is no poll )ax
for women and they ar* not re
quired to'present any "receipts."
Just go and register 1 .
Every male voter should see
that his name is on the registra
tion books, for certain, whether
you ore still in the old precinct or
not. You will be worse off than
a blind man at a movie show
November 2d, if in "copying?' the
lists or bv some other mistake
your name has dropped out of, tbe
registration book and you woie
not interested enough to look up
the matter before October 23d.
After that date you cannot regis
ter. When the shoating starts for
Cox and Morrison on the night of
election, the unregistered man
who cast no ballot must have
something wrong with his system
if he finds himself able to join in
the shouting. Moral: Register
today. Tomorrow never comes.

ers by a square deal.

(The following is an exact Copy of a letter mailed from Greens
_ 'ktto, N. C., to a woman in Lexington, N. C. Reliable information
indies teg that there is an organization known as the Colored Wo
men's Rights Association for Culored Women, that headquarters are

s Dear Voter:
1 . The 19 th Amendment to (he Constitution of the United States
gives till women the? right to the ballot regardless of color, and
i we beg all the colored women of North Carolina to register and
r vote on November 2nd, 1920.
( Thi time for negroes has come. Now is our chance to re
l~ deem our litfcrty.
We have been driven' long enough. /
| Apply tT6 the register in your precinct to register. /
;• The books for registration open on September 30th, and if you
I are refused go at ones to the Republican lawyer and start pro
ceedings in the United States Court—doh't waste time with State
> Courts—the State Courts are controlled by Democrats.
r Don't be afraid, there are plenty white Republicans thait will
• help us. y
The Democrats are divided over the tax revaluation and the
• Governor's.fight in.the primary.' Thousands of Democrats will
• stay at home-next November and thousands-frf Gardner and Page
| Democrats will vote the Republican .ticket.
i We are sure of capturing theaState this time if only the col
' ored women will do their duty, Register and votcy The white
! women of North Carolina will not vpte and whiltfThey sleep let
r the negroes be up and doing.
When we get in power we can demand what we wish and get
1 it. We hold the balance of power in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New
, York and New Jersey. We are sure of electing a Republican
i President—one who will give us what we want—that is justice,
but if we dou't elect H Republican Congress his hands will be.
1 tied, and we have tbe chance here in North Carolina to elect a
i Republican Senator and over half the congressmen.
With colored womeu voting we can coiitrol the Eastern coun
ties and the industrial counties of the West such as Forsyth,
Guilford, Rowan, Davidson, Cabarrus, Stanly, Gaston and
Meoklenhurg.
All tho white cotton mill operatives of the State are going to
vote the itepublican ticket this time. • While tbe Democrats are
divided, is our time.
Organize—get the white Republicans, men and women, to
help you. *
They will, if you only keep quiet about it.
Have your meetings at night. When we get thousands of
voters on the registration books, the white Republicans of North
Carolina and the South will be glad to do as their white brother
and sister of the Nortj) and West—recognize us as their political
equals.
We are being backed by them now, but you know it is best
for them to keep under cover for awhile yet.
Republicans have plenty of money and you can get it to organ
ize and prosecute Democrat Registrars and Judges of elections
if they refuse to register the colored women and violate the 19th
Amendment to the Constitution of our glorious United States.
keep this a secret —don't let it get in hands of Democrats.
Yours for negro liberty,

OCTOBER I2TH, 127 TH ANNIVER
SARY OF UNIVERSITY.
Portrait of Gen. Dtvie, Father of the
University, to be Presorted.
Cor. of The Oloaner.
Chapal Rill, N. C., Oct. 11—
On October 12,1793, one bundled
ao.d twenty years ago, William
Richardson Davie, as head of the
Grand Lodge of Masons of North
Carolina, with his own hands laid
the corner-stone of the Old East
Building at the University of
Nortn Carolina, the first building
to be erected on the wooded pla
teau where at that time stood
nothing and where now stands the
university.
Previous to that date General
Davie, whose sword had carved
out in the Revolutionary days
enough fame for one man, had
introduced and had helped ma
terially to carry through the Legis
lature, then meeting in Fayette
ville, the bill providing for the
establishment-of the university.'
Re followed that up by heading
the trua|ees' committee which
traveled on horse-back through
Orange.county looking for a suit
able place for the univeiSity,
which had originally beeu ordered
in the State constitution of 1776.
Under the gigantic poplar which
uow stands in the center of the
Carolina campus Davie and his
committee had lunch one day and
were so impressed with the beauty
or the grove that they decided on
the present location.
To Davie as father of the insti
tution honor will be paid on the
127 th anniversary of his laying
the Old East cornerstone. A por
trait of tbe General, the family
posession of Mr. J. Alwyn Ball, of
Charleston, whose wife, Emflie G.
Frazer, 'was a great-granu-dangh
ter of Davie's will be preseuted to
the university in the annual exer
cises in historic Memorial Hall.
The Rev. William Way, of Charl
eston, will present the portrait for
Mr Ball, and Mr. JL O. Carr, of
Wilmington, who has lteoome one
of the authorities on the Revolu
tionary hero, will aocept it for the
university.
The portrait has not. only his
toric valne, but has recently been
pronounced by the Corcoran Art
Gallery, of Washington, D' C., a
rare example of the work of the
French painter, Chretien. Gen
eral Davie had the portrait painted
when he was in Paris Curious
ly enough, tbe only other example
in tbe United States of tbe work
of Chretien is a portrait of another
North Carolinian, a Mr. Clark, of
Edenton, whioh is now hanging at
the (Jorooran.
Classes frill be suspended on
University Day and the faculty
and student body will march in
academic procession across tbe
campus to Memorial Hall for exer
cises. President Chase will mske
an address and the roll of tbe uni
versity alumni who have died
within the past year will be read.
On the same day almmni
throughout the state will hold
meetings in many towns. Dr.
Archibald Henderson will speak
at tbe Charlotte Prof.
W. S. Bernard at Raleigh, Prof.
Frank Graham at Hillsboro and
at Greensboro, and Prof. A; H.
Patterson at Laurinburg.

Elon College, Oct. 9 -—Yesterday
at noon a mass meeting of the
Democratic students of Elon Col
lege, both yonng men and young
ladies, was held for the purpose
of organising the Cox-Roosevelt
Club. Several enthusastfq speech
es were trad* by the students,
and the following officers were
elected for the Club: Mr. L. J.
Bray, President: Miss Irene Goff,
Vice-President, Mr. C. M. Cannon,
Secretary-Treasurer, and Mr. R, S.
Raiuey, Chief Booster. The Cox-
Roosevelt Club includes over two
thirds of the entire student body.
Tbe College Church operating
thru the citizens of the town has
re Inaugurated tbe boy scout*
with I'.ui. 0. llu.uiibivj* of the
Elon College graded school aa
Scout Master. The troop was re
organized last night with twelVe
members, and it is expected that
it will shortly grow to the full
quota of thirty-two. The Boy
Scout movemeut was a success
here before, but during the war
period it became disorganised.
The citizens of tho town have felt
for a long time the need of its re
inauguration, and the church took
it up thru its regular channel for
such community service.
A strong Parent-Teacher Asso
ciation also has been organized in
the com in unity. The expressed
purpose of this association is to
take stej s of a community charac
ter as to procuring seats of a mod
ern type for tbe school auditorium,
apd to place a system of beating
in tbe building.
"The theory ot the Democratic
campaign is, of course, jhst the

Blood acts like aJfael. Pumped

sustains the muscles and tissues.
It reuews them. It feeds tbe brain

That is wh> jHjople. look so pale

being suppli.d with weak fuel.
The blood has not enough red

good blood. Improve the quality

If you look pale and feel weak,
if you have lost your enthusiasm
