ADAMS CARRELL ORGANIZER WOULD BE POLITICAL LEADER IN SPITE OF OPPOSITION Is One Of Reasons Of Disgust Of Shamborguer, Offutt, Williams and Others With the colored leaders in the camps of Judge L. D. Greene and Charles Ryans, two of the candidates for the nomination of mayor of Louisville, subject to the Republican primary August 5, busy whooping up things for the Judge and the young political leader, those who are to champion the cause of Col. Dan Carrell and remain loyal to the Republican organization headed by Major William B. Harrison, sup- and waiting for orders to get going. and waiting for orders to get goig. The white Carrell leaders met last Saturday afternoon, while in the meantime the colored leaders have been conferring with [each?] other here and there and expecting to be called in any time during the week. As the Leader goes to press, however, the only signs that any thing has taken place among the colored Carrell leaders was the announcement of the Blue Ribbon Republican Club which appeared in a daily paper Tuesday afternoon, and the activities and talk of Joe Adams, who has played an active part in local Republican politics for several years and whose name appears as organizer of the new Blue Ribbon Republican Club. What Adams is saying he is going to do to offset what has been done by those leading the Greene and Ryans forces and the fact that some of the colored leaders who have been waiting for orders from the Republican administration organization are also officers in the Blue Ribbon Club, gives the impression that the Blue Ribbon Club is to be the Negro wing of the Carrell for Mayor campaign organization. The matter has come up for a great deal of discussion since Tuesday. Adams has been vigorously opposed as a leader of Negroes in politics in Luisville and Kentucky. No one opposes his activities in any place he can serve to the best interest of the party and to the credit of his race, but men like Revs. N. D. Shamborguer, W. P. Offutt, J. M. Williams and others, who are still loyal to the Republican administration organization, declare that they will no longer tolerate the Adams type of leadership. The hand of Adams can be plainly seen in the group of officers of the Blue Ribbon Club. They are good citizens, but if the club represents the regular Negro Carrell campaign organization the political leadership of some of the men is objected to. The officers of the Blue Ribbon Club are: President Rev. Wm. Johnson, pastor of West Chestnut Street Baptist Church and a Republican leader; Vice President, R. N. Dunn, Secretary Y. M. C. A.; Second Vice President, Joseph [Bonies?], fraternal and political leader; Executive Secretary, Joseph R. Ray former president of the defunct First Standard Bank; Assistant Secretary, P. D. Terry, former teller of the First Standard Bank; Treasurer, L. T. Phillips, former cashier of the First (Continued on page 4)

Tucker, Warley Reindicted By June Grand Jury Attorney C. Ewbanks Tucker and Editor William Warley were re-indicted on the charge of criminal libel brought against them by Earl Brown, by the June grand jury Monday morning. The case, which grew out of an article which connected Brown with a naked dance party, written by Tucker and printed by the Independent News of which Warley is editor, a few weeks ago. Tucker and Warley were first indicted by the May grand jury on which were two colored men, T. H. Blue and J. A. Thomas. An error found in the indictment which might have caused the squashing of the case, was the cause of the redrafting of the charges and the new indictment by the June grand jury on which are J. O. Blanton and R. N. Dunn, two other well known colored men.

D. shamborguer, W. P. Offutt and J. M. Williams, three of Louisville's most prominent ministers, a few hours after the editor's name was offered and he was endorsed. The ministers asked the editor to approve the endorsement and to run for the office. The editor, who had given no thought to such a thing and was completely surprised that he had been considered, said that no harm had been done in endorsing him, but he asked that he be given a day or so to give some thought to the matter and make a definite decision. He said that he was not seeking any (Continued on page 4)
