Colored People Resent Republican Administration "Jim Crowing" At State Fair SEVERAL GET THEIR ADMISSION MONEY BACK The Republican administration breaks another precedent and gives the Negro in Louisville another slap in the face. The State Fair grounds, a place where all classes and colors have gathered from all parts of the city, state and nations, for a number of years, for recreation, amusement and business; a place where thousands of people are too busy getting out of the way of one another to think about little mean things, and especially the color of ones skin, a place where nothing has ever occurred that would cause an iota of ill feeling between the races; a place where the rankest Democratic administration has never felt it necessary to place a petition bearing large, glaring words, "For Colored People," they never deemed it a thing that should be done; they did not advocate the separation of the races in the public parks, and at the State Fair grounds; but a precedent has been broken by the Republican administration, the ship of the Negro of ye yesterday. Yes, they came to the c  onclusion that it would be a step in the right direction to gets hundreds of a certain class of white Democratic votes and to get a better "toe hold" on those of race hating type that they already have of both parties. This was done this week in face of the disgust, disappointment and opposition of more than fifty per cent of the colored population, faithfuls of the Republican party; in face of the fact that the Lincoln Independent Party, with a full fledged ticket; in face of the fact that a few of a certain type of the race are selling out their very souls for a mess of potage, and are becoming race traitors, stooping to the lowest depth in putting out malicious propaganda against members of their race at the behest of Republican bosses, who under their very noses are hurdling up their flesh and blood in a small corner at the State Fair Grounds like hogs in a pen. But the trick might work one way, but it is not working the other. Hundreds of colored people have resented th  e insult. Many of those who respect themselves and demand that others do likewise, asked for their money back on seeing the conditions, got it and left the grounds.
The party has been bitterly assailed during the week, and many who doubted the wisdom of the Linocln Independent movement have realized that their eyes were open, but they were sound asleep. And more and more the Republcian party is going to be made to realize that it cannot continue to enact unfair, unfriendly and unAmerican measures against the rights, happiness and general welfare of his colored brothers as a political trick to get certain white votes, and hold their respect, confidence and loyalty. The old beaten idea that the Republican party is the ship and all else is the sea holds no place in the mind of the thoughtful Negro of today, but rather the Rooseveltian idea of, "All men up and no man down."

Republican Paper Carries Advertisement Refused By Courier, Times And Post EVERY EFFORT TO BE USED TO STOP MEETING At a conference Tuesday, participated in by Mayor Smith, Col. Ludlow F. Petty, chief of police, and the members of the Board of Public Safety, decision was reached not to permit the holding of the meeting of the Ku Klux Klan that was to be held some place in the city, to be announced this morning, with an address by a Rev. Ridley, the announcement of which was carried in a whole page advertisement of The Louisville Herald, Wednesday morning.
In the opinion of the city officials it is the "duty of people who own or lease meeting places as patriotic citizens to refuse to rent a hall for the purpose indicated." In a statement issued by he Board of Safety at the close of the conference people generally are asked not to go to the meeting if it should be held or an attempt should be made to hold it. Any one attempting to attend the meeting will be regarded as an "unpatriotic citizen and a law violator and will be dealt with accordingly," the statement says. It follows:
"Several weeks ago the mayor announced that he would employ every lawful means to preevnt the organization of a Ku Klux Klan in Louisville.
"The Board of Public Safety, acting in accord with the mayor, hereby [serves?] notice on the persons in Louisville promoting this organization that the meeting advertised for Saturday night will not be permitted. The Board also says to all owners or lessees of public halls in Louisville that it is their duty as patriotic citizens to refuse to rent a hall to this organization, and it serves notice on all citizens to remain away from this meeting or the vicinity of this meeting should an attempt be made to hold it in defiance of this order, and any person who attempts to attend this meeting will be regarded as an unpatriotic citizen and a law violator and will be dealt with accordingly."
Members of the Board of Safety refused to reveal their plans as to the methods to be employed in stopping the meeting, but declared that it was not going to be held, unless those promoting it secured an injunction in court against city officials.
THE HERALD'S FULL PAGE KU KLUX KLAN AD
The attitude of the daily papers in connection with advertising matter of the Ku Klux Klan meeting that was to be held here tonight has been discussed by colored people on the street corners and in their homes. It cannot be understood why the same full page advertisement of the meeting was carried by the Louisville Herald of Friday morning, a Republican newspaper, the official mouthpiece of the Republican leaders, and refused by the Courier Journal, the Times and the Evening Post, Democratic organs. And while it was argued by those who were inclined to be independent in politics, that all along, the Courier Journal, the Times and the Post, Democratic newspapers, had been favorable toward the colored people in the publication of race news, etc., than the Herald, and more especially had the Post shown more broadness and bigness in its attitude toward the race editorially and in its news columns, it was pointed out that in view of the fact that the Republicans were resorting to  every means to hold the Colored vote i November, that the Herald might have used a little better judgment in the case of the Ku Klux Klan advertisement. It is remembered that the Courier Journal in its Tuesday morning editorial, carried a strong editorial against the [Klan?] organization, giving reasons why [the?] paper had refused to carry the full page Klan advertisement.
It was pointed out in last week's issue of the Leader, that little space was ever given to our group by the Herald excepting during political days when some member of the race, the hireling of the Republican party saw fit to express his opposition to some other members of the race who had just a little bit more manhood and independence than he did. We call our readers' attention to the fact that not during the whole of a race man's campaign for councilman in 1919, was his name mentioned in the Herald, but the moment he disrobed the garb of a colored man, a candidate for office on the Republican ticket and got in the more favorable and fitting apparel of a colored man for office, the Herald lets loose more than a column of its precious space in race news matter.
The contrast between the Republican and Democratic papers in regard to the Ku Klux Klan is something for those who oppose the Lincoln Independent party to think about.
