Tulsi County Republicans Read Negroes Out of Party
At the Tulsi County Republican convention held last Saturday to elect delegates to the State Convention the party effectively excluded Negro Republicans. The event followed a contentious session led by E. Louderback with Apostle V. Jones the only colored man present while committee members proposed several Black delegates. Frustrated by the rejection of colored nominees J.B. Stradford urged inclusion, but a motion to adjourn ended the effort and the colored vote in Tulsa county appeared lost for the upcoming election.
