The Broad Ax (Chicago, Illinois)

The Broad Ax (circulation 1895-1931), published in Chicago, Illinois, from 1899-1931 after relocating from Salt Lake City, Utah, published an unauthored piece called "Out of the Flood" on May 14, 1927. This article directly references Little Rock in the fourth paragraph, tying the environmental effects of the Great Mississippi River Flood--and the resulting Arkansas River flooding in the state capital--to the racial tension and resulting riot.

The Monitor (Omaha, Nebraska)

The Monitor (circulation 1915-1929) published "Praises Efforts of Little Rock Negroes" on May 6, 1927. While the newspaper article does not directly mention John Carter, the article refers to "the latest lynching," suggesting that readers were both aware of the race riot in Little Rock without the necessity of naming it outright.
