C. Recorder. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, probably the most influential of the colored political leaders of the coun- try, had a private talk with Presi- dent Coolidge in the White House to- day. Johnson is the member of the republican national committee from Georgia who caused a stir at the 1920 republican national convention at Chicago when his delegates nominated him from the floor, to the surprise of the other republicans, who claimed it had been agreed he wouid not make a fight for a place on the republican natlonal committee. Since that time he was nominated by Mr. Harding tc be recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, but the United States Senate declined to confirm the nomi- nation. Asked what the purpose of his visit to the White House was, Johnson said on leaving the executive offices: “I was feeling bully and I came to pay my respects to President Cool idge.

Yes,” snapped Johnson, “I am and T always will be. Probably the visit of Johnson means the support to President Coolidge of certain colored delegates from the southern states to the republican na- tional convention of 1924, There al- ways is a scramble to swing those delegates in line and there have been frequent cont: as to the eligibility of the delegates usually on the ground that improper influence was brought to bear to secure their support. Postmaster _General New _today added his prediction to that of other members of the cabinet to the effect that Mr. Coolidge will be the re- publican nominee. When certain re- publican leaders told President Cool- idge that he should appoint C. Bascom Slemp as his private secretary they paid high tribute to the latter'’s political ability. Mr. Slemp, however, has not been in good favor with the colored political leaders, #o that Presi- dent Coolidge has had to act more or less as conciliator so as to pre serve the support of the colored peo- Coolidge yesterday in receiving gation of colored women had an ortunity to plain how warm race.
