~Garland suffered a broken
jaw in his first home start here
in May, but Cussans has every
confidence the likeable Negro
boy has a fine boxing future
~before him. His match with
Jones, who kas been showing

Clem Custer, Detroit Negro

union in which no murder has
been committed. But in certain
s2ctiors of our country, it is
easy to lynch and murder, when
the murders believe that the atmosphere in which the crime
is committed is saturated with
prejudice, ill will, and the idea
of supremacy of. one race over
tiie other, that there will be
only a feble effort to bring the
Luflty. parties to justice. That
is what the Negro believes as
it relates to crimes com:nitted
by Negroes and whites.~
The speech brought

a great
ovation from the

auditorium
Immediately, Dr. J. C. Austin.
of Chicago, made a motion that
the rules be susperded and Dr.
Jemison be elect2d by acclamation to the National Baptist convention presidency for A nottier
2ar. The motion was seconded
by tha Rev. N. W. Whitt. of
~Alabama. The house carried the
motion.
Thereupon, Dr.
iNew.York, made the motion
that all officers of convention
'b2. reelected by acclamation. This

J. W.. Tate, of

motion was seconded by the
~Rev. Calvin Perkins, of Mis.
sissippi, and carried.

Thus, the principa! offic:als
~for the year will include Dr.
J MM. Nabrit, secretary; Dr. T.

S. Harten, r2giorfal vice-presi-.dent-at-large; Dr. L. A. Pinks~ton, vice president: Dr. Roland
Smith, statistician; B. J. Perkins,
~treasurer.

Réported opposition to the re~lection of Dr. Jemison was
swept under by the surge of
Dr. Jemison~s popularity. <A
newspaper release of Birmingham published in Atlanta Tuesday morning quoted ~unimpeach
able sources~ as Stating that
Yr. Jemison would not be a
candidate for reelection ard
would decline nomination. Dr.
~Jemison immediately issued a
Statement of denial. Later there
"yas the unofficial anouncbmertt
by an Illinois minister that he
voulg be a candidate for the
~op Baptist post, ~if Dr: Jemi~on did not choose to run.~ The
election by acclamation Wedrres+
Cay afternoon was an answer to
the ~reported attempted maneuver,,.
4 At the welcome exercises Wednesday morning, Mayor William
3. Hartsfield assured his audnee that ~you will find. more
Baptists im this section than you
vill find anywhere.~ He promis~d a police department guard
of honor to assist delegates in
seeing the city.
