city clerk. Mr.. Powell is a strong man
well and favorably known by the
Afro-American voters Of the city, and
If he is nominated he will get their
solid support. Mr.. Powell has always
treated the Afro-American political

Ing them their share of the patronage.
The Appeal believes that Mr.. Powell is
the best man for city clerk.
