Barker Owensboro, Ky., March 23.--(Special To The Louisville Leader)--Sunday afternoon the capacious auditorium of the Center St. Baptist Church was filled to overflowing to witness the annual program of the Mozart Club, a musical organization of the Center St. Church, directed by Miss E. E. Edwards, popular Owensboro teacher and social worker, with Mr. I. Willis Cole, editor of The Louisville Leader, as the principal speaker. Miss Edwards presided and the following program preceded the address: Welcome by Mrs. Rosa Lee Green, Mr. W. L. Weaver, Profs. Bates Caldwell and M. J. Sleet; Introduction of Speaker, Prof. S. L.

Taking the Head, Hand and Heart as his subject, profoundly discussing education, business and religion as it pertains to the race, Mr. Cole in his eloquent and earnest address, made a plea for a more far reaching education, a greater racial economic interest and the same patience and faith in God. He supported Carter Woodson's educational program, commended Dr. A. Clayton Powell's reply to Manceken and declared that Negroes would not forsake the religious training of their fathers. He paid tributes to Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and held up George Carver, Annie Malone and other educational, business and religious leaders for emulation. Mr. Cole made an eloquent plea to Negroes to be proud of their race and be loyal to every movement for racial and public good. The address was well prepared and earnestly and eloquently delivered amid punctuations of tremendous applause. Mr. Cole was guest in the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

11,000 Hear Bank Campaign Speakers
11,000 CHURCH PEOPLE HEAR BANK CAMPAIGN SPEAKERS Pastors Enter Heartily Into Spirit Of Big Mutual Standard Movement Eleven thousand worshippers in sixty Louisville and Jefferson County Churches heard speakers for the Citizens Cooperative Bank Campaign Sunday as they carried forth a message of civic pride and racial cooperation in support of the Mutual Standard Bank. Kentucky's big financial institution, now said to be the second largest bank owned and controlled by colored people in the United State Reports by the [speakers?] indicate that in every [instance?] the pastors of the churches entered heartily into the spirit of the big movement. In a number of instances pastors based their sermons on the theme of thrift and racial solidarity and urged their congregations to support the bank. One pastor halted his services to open an account from the pulpit. He was followed by members of his congregation. The [priests?] (white) of two Catholic congregations included the campaign in their parish announcement, one of them issuing a special invitation for a speaker to address his parishioners in a special afternoon meeting. On Mon day morning both the ministerial alliance of all denominations and the Baptist ministers and deacons meeting unanimously endorsed the campaign and many individual ministers voluntarily enlisted to help place "a Mutual Standard Bank account in every home." Forty more churches, it is announced, will be visited by speakers next Sunday morning and evening. Following the drive upon the churches the militant speakers will swoop down upon lodges, fraternities, clubs and every variety of public gathering with their lightning message, to be followed by a hundred and fifty individual canvassers who plan to let no one escape who is not now a patron of the bank. Inspired by the big purposes of this unusual movement an enthusiastic campaigner has contributed a rallying song to the tune of "John Brown's Body." The spirits of a hundred workers were fired Thurs- Turn To Page 4 Please

Meeting of State Republicans Asked
WOULD MAKE CALL FOR LAST OF APRIL IN LEXINGTON Opinions Of Leaders From All Sections Of State Wanted During the last few days there has been much talk about the need of a meeting of colored Republicans of the State and during this week I. Willis Cole, the editor of The Leader, received a letter from Mr. W. R. Dudley, of Georgetown, Ky., suggesting that such a meeting be called for the latter part of April in Lexington. Mr. Dudley also asks about the Colored Republican League. His letter follows: Georgetown, Ky., March 20, 1931. Mr. I. Willis Cole, Editor, Louisville Leader. Dear Sir: What has become of the Colored Republican League? As I remember, the late Rev. J. E. Wood was the last president and I was at one time secretary, but I am not certain that we were the last to hold these offices. However, you being the last chairman of the publicity committee of the Colored Republicans, I think you should call a meeting of the said colored Republican League to meet the latter part of April, that we may unite on some definite plan of getting some real recognition by the political party we have supported practically all of our lives. Is not the political sun too high for us to continue whooping 'em up, putting the other group in office and we go back and plough coran and hoe tobacco? Call the meeting, we shall have much more to say then. I suggest Lexington for the place of meeting. Yours for real political recognition of the Kentucky Negro, W. R. Dudley. As we remember the late Dr. J. E. Wood was succeeded as president of the Colored Republican League in 1928 by Mr. Pat McCann. About the same time the Citizens' League of Kentucky, an organization which had been in the making for some time, was started with Rev. J. Welby Broaddus as president and I. Willis Cole, secretary. We do not know that the Colored Republican League held any more meetings, but we do know that the Citizens League has not functioned because of the many things which have taxed the time of its president. At the last meeting of the regular organization of Republicans last fall in preparation for the senatorial campaign Dr. E. E. Underwood, the colored member of the Republican State Central Committee, was elected chairman and Rev. J. Welby Broaddus secretary. At that meeting I. Willis Cole, who was national director in the state and publicity chairman during the Hoover campaign, was elected publicity chairman for the senatorial race. It therefore seems to us that it would be in order for Dr. Underwood, Rev. Broaddus, or the editor to call a meeting and after we have had expressions from other Republican leaders about the time and place one or the other will see that a meeting is called. Letters may be addressed to the Editor of the Leader at 422-24 S. 6th Street.
