Tho republican state committee has
called a. state con volition to moot at
Oklahoma City In August.
Tho congressional candidates in the
Third district are getting around
over I ho district In whirlwind speed.
The Muskogee man is making good.
The republicans will nominate a
city ticket at the August primary.
There !: only a short time to regis tc
Mid ovi rsr legal voter should nttenu
lo this at once or there will be no
vote coming In August.
Register today don't put it off. You
cannot vote for president or congress-
man unless you register. It is Im-
portant that every voter register
now. Ho it now. Don't wait
The democratic slogan at Denver
that created the greatest enthusiasm
was "What the hell do we care."
When the enthusiasm would wane
some cuss would yell: "What the hell
do we care" and the convention
would go wild. Such is the democrat.
The dispensary Is doing a big busi-
ness if we are to Judge from the
"mmmiiou drunks seen each day and
as next week Is celebration week wo
expect the "spencery" to go dry.
A pint including the prescription
costs $1.80. Cheap eh?
The democrats are carrying Ohio
this year so they are reporting but
the old Huckeye state will hardly loin
the Mryan crowd this year. While
there is considerable dissatisfaction
over there still not. enough to lose
the state.
12 very voter who fails to register
shows that he Is not interested in
good government. Evory man who is
entitled to vote should register now.
vo matter who you vote for on elec-
tion day.
Those who do not desire to de-
clare for the republican or democrat-
ic party can register as independent
and vote for whom they please but
register you must if you vote at all.
Next week will be a great week
for Muskogee. Visitors will be here
from everywhere and many will lo-
cate and buv homes either city or
farm property. Let's make things
pleasant for the visitors
state to what they could expect with
an active committee and what they
are getting from an Inactive commit-
tee. The apathy of the committee is
absolutely unpardonable. Oklahoma

Editor Biotherhood:
Dear Sir: I am indeed happy in
Informing you that In the case of
Held vs. Pullman Company. I made
a motion for judgment against the
Pullman Company on the pleadings
that Is that admitting all they set up
in their answer and all they claim
that still there was no defense that
they were not protected lir refusing
to allow the plaintiff accommodation
in a Pullman car because the law
of the srate or Tennessee prohibited
railroad companies and common car-
riers from carrying Colored and
white persons in the same coach.
Further that It was no defense
that the common law rule has been
abolished by the statute of Tennes-
see which rule gives a proprietor
the right to separate his guest pro-
vided he furnished other and equal
accommodations.
That on the law and authority the
Pullman Company had no right lo es-
tablish a rule separating white and
Colored passengers and this whether
the plaintiff was an interstate passen
ger or was an intrastate passenger.
When the motion was called for
hearing counsel representing the Pull-
man Company arose and stated to the
court that they consent that the mo-
tion be granted for the reason that
they were satisfied that I was right
on the law.
Thus you will see- the matter is.
disposed of and we win a complete
victory. There Is but one question
remaining that Is will the people of
our race take advantage of this and
follow It up often enough to compel
the com parry to yield tho point and
maintain the law which they thus
confess everywhere In this broad
land and common country of ours?
T.do not know whether you pub
lished my former letter or not. If
you have not I wish you would be
kind enough to formulate such men-
tion In your paper as you feel that
you can so as to give publicity tol
the fact of what the outcome of the
case has been. We want that peo-
people should know what their rights
are and I beg to say that If you do
fall to make mention of the fact that
this case was handled by the Niagara
Movement which I sincerely hope
you wlir we shall be satisfied with
simply giving the information con-
cerning the case.
Very truly yours
FREDERICK L. MqGIIEE.
