George NJ. Cohan, the actor play

at writing plays that are sure fire sue

successor to The Man Who Owns

made his last appearance. Hitchcock is
essentially a Broadway actor who is
seen at his best in piece with an at

safe to assert that Cohan and Harris

the program, and 1t demonstrates con-
clustvely that the labor vote can hold
the balance Of power as between the
Noerals and their opposition. Lamb
mad been elected in opposition to the
Jones ticket two years ago by COM
blnation of labor vote and liberals, and
this time he was elected by combina-
ton of labor vote with the Jones vote.
Had his labor vote been willing to sup
port Jones and Allard the entire ticket
would have been elected over the OPP
position of the liberals.
few have feared that Mayor Jones
friends unwisely precipitated the issue
which ruled in this election, but the
facts are that the issue was defined
clearly by the opposition months be-
fore the primary because they had
reason to believe that they could win
on 1t and those who financed and man
aged the work of the campaign had a
business interest in its success. Mayor
Jones friends made no public recogni-
ton Of the issue until after the name
of each man who had voted at the
primary had been copied and checked
with the records of the Marshall Coun-
ty Citizens Association, then it be-
came apparent to Mr.. Jones and to his
friends that his only hope lay in a
big vote from his own class, for the
primary vote. when checked, disclosed
the liberals voting solidly against

had proved their purpose in the pr,-
mary that the wet and dry issue was
publicly recognized by Mr.. Jones
friends, and had it not been done then
Mayor Jones would have been defeated

feated but so was saloon petition if

prevent saloons being returned by the
petition method. AS one former saloon
man expressed it, There was hope for
us in the Shankland bill, but that has

The Times Republican believes that
the defeat of the Jones ticket was
black eye for the future progress OF
the town, and out of every 100 citizens
who would ever be consulted in any
enterprise designed for the upbuilding
of the city at least eighty were of the
same opinion on election day. HOW
ever, things did not turn out nearly so
badly as they looked on the two cleo
ton days previous, and 1t Will be un-
fair now to PREJUDICE the new council.
1t has been elected by majority or
the people. If Mayor Willard and
Councilman Nicholson have moral
courage to say no to the interests
which elected Them and will think
more of their own regulations as citi-
zens, we may be surpriseds at results.
So far as this OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

cesses of the new administration as
freely as it would have done for the
other ticket, provided there are sue
cesses to advertise. Judging the term

industrial and moral welfare for our
community. All that there is left for
those who were defeated is to hope for
the best. and when anything happens
that is to be commended to be thank
full that things were not worse. How
ever. that is not to say that there will
not be an eagle eye focused upon city
affairs, but there will be no recall pc

Local Comment

Mayor Jones can retire with the per-
sonal satisfaction Of having given the
city the best administration it has had
in twenty years, and for a place in the
history OF his town an endorsement in
the vote Of the kind of people who
stood by him will be priced far greater
N mis- family than an election would
have been had it been bought by a
surrender TO the forces which con-
trolled this election.
Four years ago. with eight cancl-
dates on each ticket. a mayor and sew
en- councilmen. seven out of the eight
were elected by the liberals, leaving
only one, lone councilman elected by
the people who really stand for the
best things in life and in our municipal
government but before the first year
had passed the one lonesome council
man had won over three of the mem
bers elected on the opposition ticket
and the anticipated fruits of the liberal
victory were frosted at every budding.
Two years ago the same forces joined
issues again, and in spite of the fact
that many business men among the
liberals could not be induced to vote
for union labor candidates, two out OF
three candidates were elected by the
liberal vote. Again a member elected
by the liberal vote joined with the one
lone member elected by those who
stand for the best things in our
town. and the fruits of ano.h-
CT election victory were denied TO
the element that can command the
NEST votes. Last fall. in a republican
county. the democrats elected a county
attorney and a sheriff because the we.
republicans bolted their ticket after
having been fairly outvoted in the re-
publican primary. Knowing how the
vote stands in a city of this size, 1t
was but natural for the liberals to go
after Jones and Lamb on the issue on
which they could win. hence there was
very little fault found with the admin
fstration. almost none in fact. Herman
| fused about the taxes, but the mana
gers of the opposition campaign said
nothing. For months before the pri-
mary. and before the election, the word
was passed along the line, Down with
the holy rollers" and the same old
vote of prejudice and class feeling was
lined UP. The result was no surprise to
anyone. Three reporters employed on
the T-R. deposited sealed guesses as
10 the election the day before, and
| when they were opened on the morning
after. each of the three had guessed
right.
Mayor Jones had alienated some of
the class that should have been for
him because OF trivial objections, 50
that he polIed less than the normal
strength of the faction behind him, and
while he gained some among the bus
! mess element who stand more or less
on neutral ground. it was not enough
to give him the vote he had two years
ago. Mr. Allard. however. who had no
enmities to overcome, who stood at the
| head of the whole list of candidates In
point OF business ability, who stood
we'll with wage workers and employers
alike. got about the same number Of
votes as Jones. SO it was evident that
the three months campaign made for
the Willard Nicholson ticket had been
effectively made on the one issue which
had been picked for victory.
Lambs success was the only break in

After several months Of prepar-

last a week, is to open at the Fair
Grounds next Monday, says the

has heartily endorsed it; it has the
unanimous approval of the press,
and many men of prominence in
Louisiana and elsewhere are in
Guided in the list of speakers who
have promised to make addresses
during the week.
We hope the fair will be an all
round success-not merely in at
tendance and financial returns,
but in practical results. If it is,
there is no reason why it should
not become an annual institution,
and as such recurring stimulus tC
the race in working out the prob
lens that confront 1t.
The negro is no longer a factor
in the politics of the South. AS
long as he was, he was a sufferer:
and the great bulk of the thought
ful members of the race must feel
that he has been a gamer by the
change But the negro is the In
dustrial life of the South and he
deserves the sympathy and en-
enlargement of the white man III
his effort to better the conditions
under which he lives. Many fields
of activity are open in which he
not only contribute to the develop

he lives, but greatly add to his
own personal well-being.
1t is to point out some of these
tields-to show what members OF
the race have accomplished who
have worked in them-that this
fair is to be held.
The speakers who are to make
addresses at the fair have an OPP
portunlty for sound, practical,
commen-sense talks that will strike
home to the thousands of colored
people who will gather there. They
ought to take full advantage of it..
If they do, The result cannot fail
to be reflected in an even greater
