COLORED MEN HOLD RALLY
Strong Resolutions Endorsing the Republican Ticket Are Passed.
A Republican rally was held at Hanson Hall, Wood and Goss streets, West Oakland, Thursday evening, by the colored citizens of Alameda County, under the auspices of the Afro-American Council of the county in the interest of the Republican State and county nominees. J. B. Wilson, president of the council, presided and J. F. Summers acted as master of ceremonies.
The list of vice-presidents consisted of Tyler Brown, Attorney Todd, Mr. Leavy, John A. Wilds, Richard Lenard, G. E. Watkins, J. B. Wilkinson, A. L. Dennis, H. G. Jacobs, Oliver Patelow, A. Strather, F. T. Walker and O. F. Palmer.
The meeting was addressed by Judge F. B. Ogden, Judge Smith, Everett J. Brown, A. L. Frick, R. W. Houston of Bakersfield, D. C. Allen and State Lecturer G. W. Whitley of Los Angeles. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one and the speakers were given round after round of applause, and at the close of the speech-making the following resolutions were adopted with applause:
Whereas, The Afro-American citizens of Alameda County, in mass meeting assembled, this 1st day of November, 1906, congratulate G. W. Whitley, Esq., State lecturer of the Afro-American Council of California, for his successful canvass of the entire State of California in the interest of Hon. J. N. Gillett, the Republican nominee for Governor of this great State, and the entire Republican State ticket, and thus guarantee to the great Republican party of the State the votes and full support of the seventeen thousand Afro-American voters of California for the Republican nominees on the State ticket.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the State executive committee of the Afro-American Council of California instruct each local council in the State to enthusiastically support the local candidates on the Republican tickets in their several localities where elections are held, to the end that proper representation can be secured in those city and county governments for the members of the local councils at the hands of the Republican party, and especially in Alameda County, where there are over twenty-five hundred Afro-American voters.
