LOS ANGIELES~(ANP)~Within
a few weeks the National Baptist
convention of America: will cor=

~verge upon Cleveland, It will doubt'|'me

lessly count the largest number of
delegates and~ camp followers in ~ts
ehtire history; the reason being, a
iew president will be elected. When
because of the tragic death of the
late Dr. L. K. Williams, the convention lost its leader, last November, the Rev. D. V. Jemison of Alabama was elected to fill out -the
unexpired term. Since he was vice
president, he was in line for the
presidency, but at Cleveland he will

| be upon, his own and wili have to

take his chances with a field of
candidates.,

All over the ~nation, Baptists ~are

~restless. They have reason so to

be, They fear what may happen at
Cleveland. The convention may net
know it, but it stands in greater
jeopardy, today than it has since
the last struggle whicn caused the
split. It is in eminent danger of
Splitting again unless its leaders
take certain factors in mind before
the. convention meets. Certain
tactics have been followed in the
past which simply must not be followed at Cleveland, that is, if we
want to preserve our great convention.

First, let us take a look at the
idea that it is wrong for men ic
aspire to this office. This has been
played up by many. Those who are
candidates have been called selfish
I take sharp exception to this
There is absolutely nothing wrong!|/in aspiring to hold the biggest of
fice Negroes in America have to
rive. It~s strange how those who are
~in~ accuse those who are ~out~
with selfishness for wanting to bt

report on the attitude of the people in the church now in some
churches in the south is deplorably
~

~in~, A few.-years ago, a friend of
mine who had hogged the office as

~eoriverition -for 11~ years was telling

no cértain ~

ted the office for themselves. If:

re was any selfishness, it was On

his part in wanting to remain pres
ident without. any regard to the
abilities of his brethren.

Second, the custom-of suspendin,
the rules immediately following the
president~s annual address and
electing him by acclamation -must
not happen at Cleveland, that is,
unless some people are ~deliberately
attempting, to split the convention
Rules are not made to be ~suspend.
ed~ but to be ~enforced~. Ther,
are perhaps a half dozen men, goo.
men, loyal\ favorite sons who have
already received the endorsement
of their states and other
They have just as much right to be
nominated as hag Dr. Jemison.
Personally, I believe Dr.- Jemison
believes this. I believe it would help
us even before the convention meets
if he. would give to the press a
statemént assuring us that he himself, ih ~the interest of harmony,
will oppose suspension of the rules
Men all over the country are determined that no effort to suspend
will succeed at Cleveland. We want
every candidate to,-have a chance to
be nominated before the convention, Agreement can be entered it
as to the number of speeches in
seconding nominations and. as to
the length,of such. speéches.

Third, the voting shall be done by
secret, ballot and in afoom, from
the main floor of which, all but
registered delegates shall be barred.
This is the only way to have an accurate count. It will be the true
test of what the delegates want.
Some delegates will feel that they
are tied to state conventions back
home and must vote in,a certain
way, but if allowed to ~vote in

secret~ they will yote their honest

ballot, and furthermore that.a limi,
of~ four years shall.be placed upon
the president. I have contended for
these things for years. Many have
~told me privately they believe in
them. At Cleveland we must courageously press these claims.

above opinion is pastor of the
Second Baptist Church in Los
Angeles, an important body in the
convention.

Rides The

Ocean, Too!

By J. O. THOMAS
HAVANA~(ANP) ~ ~Does the
Florida law extend across the Atlantic ocean~ asked Dr. B. E
Mays, president of Morehouse College, of the second steward of the
Florida steamship.

About an hour after the Florids
had ~set sail from: Miami for Havana, and in response to the call to
dinner, the Mayd and Thomas
families: approached the entrance
to the dining room, at 7:30 p.m.
~where thy were met by the firs.
and second stewards. These stev:
ards advised the party that they.
would have to wait until a quarter of nine to give all the white
guests an opportunity to be served,

~This boat sails from Miami and
is operated under the Florida law~
said one steward. ~We are not in
Florida now,~ was the protesi.
~How far does the Florida law extend ~igto the Atlantic ocean? If w=
