Speaking ;rj
Hello World:
I am broadcasting from the res- ^
idence of Bishop S. L. Greene,
Little Rock, Arkansas.
I went over this morning for
conference to find his attitude toward
some of the candidates that
I am supporting. He told me that
he would appreciate , whatever I
would do for Rev. A. O. Wilson, f.
He felt-rf elected to the bishopric j
he has come every step of the n
way. A splndid pastor. A-l pre-'M
siding elder, an. excellent presi-'
dent of Shorter college and he
felt that he was well seasoned as "
well as prepared intellectually. |n
He again said, ' Rev. D. Ward 8
??-Niehols- of New York was an out- (
standing candidate and in his .
opinion was near the top and;11
would be elected without politics'
intervening". I told" him that I y
was supporting iDr. Nichols and
explained that some criticisnts was ^
offered by some of the limited u
minded brethren. That is Dr.
Nichols had never served as pre- ?|
siding elder and they felt that "
would disqualify him or if elected ^
to the bishopric would be a han- E
dicap^ But, Bishop "Greene en- ?
couraged me to continue my fight
for him and said, it would be goodjv'
for a pastor that was aspiring for! P
the "bisjioprix: to be Or to have
been a presiding elder, but that
had not one thing to do with the ^
ability of Dr Nichols. !He named c'
four -bishops and said there were s<
others that have been made a high P
mark and a clear record that nev- ^
er was a presiding elder. I ?
Gee. when he expressed himself a'
so favorablyrjfor Dr. Nichols then ^
I asked him since he is over the
Mississippi and Louisiana territory
who and what about his aspirants a'
in those states? He said: "Well "
in?Mississippi?tot?have?ste?running
and I. am going to let them
worn it out lor themselves". But *'
pr. Stinson is the choice of the
majority in Louisiana and smiled V
and said he_C.aJD pile Yotes^.forJ^
himself". |
Then I asked another direct ^
question: What do you think and ''
how do you feel about Eh-. Miles'
that is aspiring for the bishopric'
in South Carolina, since you are'
in favor of Or. Nichols who is >*
from South Carolina, and I am 1,
from South Carolina and Or. Miles C
is from South Carolina? He said P
he was impressed with Dr. Miles
an.d__ffiel_lhat_the?South-will put
him in if no developments are w
made between now and May that i'
will mar his opportunity. I
Now, don't you know that at
this writing I am feeling good .
- over the outlook for my old home
state candidates, and yet I am not t]
satisfied. When I think of ,the
great men of South Carolina tryr v
? ing to -be?promoted ir~y their""^
friends 1 am wondering will Mr.
George H. Hampton get the sup- SJ
port of every true-blooded Caro- "j(
linian and race person? Will we
not allow politics to enter in and r,
offset a man that has waited for t
tne change to come. A man that s]
does not try to climb to the top s
over dead men's bones. i q
The reason that I make this 0
statement Mr. Hampton told me c;
if the office in Philadelphia is not
made vacant by the promoting of
the man that is in charge now he ^
would not run. If the office is ?
made vacant I feel ^that he has a
chance and if elected would serve
his people in the way that he feels
every well thinking, person would V
be satisfied. I believe every word \
that he said. | /
Some will ask who is Mr. Hamp" \
.ton? Four pages of this paper
could not hold the writing that it
would take to tell you who he is. I ?
but in a few words we will say:
He is a son of South Carolina, ed- n
- ucator, business man, honest and
believes in the Golden Rule, and "
has not slandered or reflected discredit
upon any person, these ^
many years ^that he has been w
?manager of- the-Palmetto Leader.}?
He can be easily approached, he ?
will stop long enough to hear what'v
you have to say and then will ari.L.
vise and help in any way he can.
fNo one can contradict the above *
statement. Then let us give him r
our support.
Well, well, ole Vrv, is thinking
of takinc a vacation and snid nVin ~
wanted to leave Washington for p
South Carolina. She looked at her d
degree and looked at the man and r
said "shu" neither of these will j<
put me there. They said that she v
had her thumbs up. I am sure i
she will make it in a few days. n
So long will be on the air over \
station PLMOC. Send all mail to r
