Tho following comments from tho

Lincoln Johnson is lakinp tin active
part in (loorpia politic^ and wil". not

Georgia fltopublioans. who claim to !??
t ho regular organization in Georgia,
dating their credentials hark to tho
Chicago convention, and whoso crodontijs'.s
wore supported by Johnson
in a speech in Tuft Hall.
"Johnson gave a history of tho Chicago
convention as hearing upon tiio
credentials of the Mfirtin faction and
declared them to ho tho regular* organization
in Georgia, die gave an
account of his 'stewardship' as national
committeeman, which stewardship
has been rendered in tho City
of Washington, D. C., where lie has
resided since his election to the
national committee.
"Turning to the question of patronage,
Johnson declared he had
'kept the faith and fought hard for
every recommendation of his wing of
the party.' 'We have been defeated.',
he said, 'hut the principles for which
we stand will never he destroyed.'
"lie severely assailed President
Harding, charging tho President wit'?
having violated patronage agreements
and 'turning down his best friends
those iwho were tlr^t to espouse his
cause and eandidacj.'
"Johnson denied emphatically that
he intflirted to resign as "National
Committeeman fo,. the C5. O. IV from
Georgia. He added the charge that
ho is trying to 'Africanize the party
' in Georgia is untrue.' 'All we ask .
for. is jjonu! little show, some recognition.'
lie said .
("Taking up t li *> Dyer hill, Johnson
declared lie had no apology '? make
to any one for the fight he made In
its hohalf.
"Talking of conferences he said he
had with (!. O. P. leaders in Wash-,
ington last year, he boasted of the
effort he made to establish a eule
that no memher of the Georgia
"steering committee' of 1 (HI members
could serve unless he were worth
at least $10,n0f?.
".lolin \V. Martin, leader of the
Martin faction, called the meeting to
order and .dated that its object was
to form a Republican organization
and put out Republican candidates
for congressmen in several districts
and for various state house n?llre?. j

Johnson denied reports that he

discussed patronage in Georgia
and severely attacked President Hard

"John W. Martin called the meeting

of the sale is that it was in this

eerta n large white companies to his
entering the record business was so
great that they purchased this plant
from its theti owners and sold it to the

we can safely say that the coming

"Plays are not written, hut rewritten
and there is no play written
, that does not require touching up,
j after it lias been tried out a fewtimes
before an audience." said Mr.
Muse a few days ago. in discussing
the new play, "The Flat Below."
With this poi^t in view, the producers,
Miller, and Lyies, Sissle and
il'.abo, have planned to keep tire "Flat
Below," a Negro drama, out of New
York for at least four weeks.
This unique play is a study of
Negro life in Harlem. It has boon
In rehearsal for about five weeks and
when it has actually entered reality
by being acted oir a stage before an
1 audience, then its directore, Clarence
10. Miiso, can gauge what in it goes
and what does not. This play will
be carefully groomed ibofore it is
brought to Broadway.
It looks as if Messrs. Mille and
liVlos, the (authors, have written the
proper kind of Negro drama to be
placed before a Broadway audience,
and If it Is true, the co-authors of
"Shuffle Along" will be in for another
groat theatrical success.

Dr. (!. K. Carter, tho presiding olfi
e.er for the evening introduced him to
the Liberty Hall audience. He launched
into a most eloquent address, and
was heartily acclaimed, ilo demonslrut
ed beyond a doubt bis familiarity with
the problems o fhis race and the best,
and only way to solve them. "Gnrvey
is a fearless champion of the rights of
the Negro race," he said, "through the
instrumentality of the U. NT. I. A., tho
program can and must ho put over.'"
His address was most masterly, surprising
all who hoard him with his
familiarity of tho Gnrvey movement
and its activities. His entire speech
was punctuated with round after
refund of applause as he forcefully
drove home to his hearers fact ntte*
fact.
