ROSCOE SIMMONS “ALFALFA BILL”
STAMPEDES MEH
is
Chicago—(CNS)—Roscoe Conkling
Simmons, nationally known Negro
orator, delegate to the Republican Na-
tional Convention from the first dis-
trict, Chicago’s richest district, sec-
onding the nomination of President
Hoover, stampeded the convention
with his oratory, and was generally
conceded to have been the most ef-
fective speaker of the convention.
Simmons, tearing into the micro-
phone with characteristic bursts of
oratory so swayed the delegates that
they refused to allow Chairman Snell
to call time on him, and demanded
that he be allowed to finish. Sim-
mons talked ten minutes, more than
twice as long as the other speakers
seconding the . nomination.
At the conclusion of his speech the
applause was deafening, and a group
of enthusiasts started a demonstration
which might have reached great pro-
portions had not the nomination of
the vice president which threatened
to be bitterly contested, been impend-
ing.
There were eight seconding speech-
es. Dr. John M. Marquess, exalted
ruler Quaker City Lodge, L B. P. O.
E. of W., an alternate from the 30th
Ward, Philadelphia, also seconded the
nomination of President Hoover.

BLACK OR RED CURRANT JAM
Coyle, Okla.—(CNS)—Alfalfa Bill
Murray, governor of Oklahoma and
avowed candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination in a recent
speech at Langston University made
costant referece to “you niggers.”
He said “Robert Burns, lieutenant
governor, had just as much right to
call out the militia while I was out of
the State, as any of you niggers out
there in front of me." Murray was
introduced to his Negro audience by
M. E. Fruin, banker and Murray ap-
pointer to the Langston board of re-
gents.
Negroes present felt that they had
never heard a more rabid or insulting
speech in which use of the word “nig-
ger” was so frequent. The governor
took a verbal slap at Zack Hubert,
former president of the university,
when he said that “nigger Hubert”
went away leaving a whole lot of
debts at Langston. Dr. L W. Young,
with practically all of his faculty and
students were present to bear the
governor’s tirade.
Another insult typical of Murray
was passed when he said that he liked
J. H. Lilley, superintendent of the
State training school, because “Lil-
ley’s boys, had lips for singing and
mouths fit for cracking hickory nuts.”
Murray was accused recently by the
Afro-American, Baltimore weekly, of
making derogatory remarks about Ne-
groes to the effect that they were fit
only for menial tasks in a campaign
speech some years ago. He defend-
ed himself by sending a book of his
published addresses to the Afro-
American’s editor, in which the al-
leged insulting speech was not includ-
ed.
4 cups (2 lbs.) crushed fruit
I cup water
7h cups (34 lbs.) sugar
I bottle (1 cup) fruit pectin
To prepare fruit, crush thoroughly
or grind about 2 pounds fully ripe
fruit and measure it into a large ket-
tle. Add I cup water, and stir until
mixture boils. (With black currants,
add I cup water). Simmer, covered,
15 minutes. Add sugar, mix well, and

test fire. Stir constantly before and - .

Simmons and Marquess
Cannoneers At Chicago
Chicago, III.—(CNS)—"Torrents of
oratory floated the renomination of
Hoover into harbor,” said James
O’Donnell Bennett, special writer, in
speaking of the nomination speeches
at the Republican National Conven-
tion, “and the two colored canoneers
in the rhetorical battery—Delegates
Roscoe Conkling Simmons of Chicago,
and John M. Marques of Philadelphia,
were the most successful in command-
ing and holding the attention of the
huge audience.
Discussing the two speeches Mr.
Bennett writes: “Men and women,
white men and black men, men from
Michigan, from Wisconsin, from Illi-
nois, from Pennsylvania, and their
sisters in the Republican faith from
New York, from West Virginia and
from Kentucky followed with second-

mons of Chicago, and John M. Mar-
quess of Philadephia—were the most
successful in commanding and hold-
ing the attention of the huge audi-
ence.
While general dissatisfaction is be-
ing expressed over the “Negro plank”
it appears that of all the Negro dele-
gates present at the convention, mot
one appeared at the public hearings of
the platform committee.
It was not unitl late Wednesday
night that Negro delegates, following
a “caucus” meeting presented Eugene
P. Booze, delegate from Mississippi,
the Negro member of the platform
committee, with proposals for the
plank. By this time the public hear-
ing had been closed and the “weak”
plank adopted, and Booze was umabile
to put through the tardy resolutions.
Certain race relations planks were
presented by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Feo-
ple, in which the party was asked hr
give assurances against color and race
discrimination in all phases of the
naton’s life, and to pledge the party
to end the “lily-white" movement iin
the South. These resolutions were
successfully snowed under in the com-
mittee, although many felt that ap-
me Belgian government admitted
that in expelling Mrs. Wright, it was
yielding te pressure from the Ameri-
can embassy. At the same time that
Mrs. Wright was placed under arrest,
