The issue between the two oppo-
sing candidates was the treaty and
league Of nations. Moro, the repub-
lican nominee, was opposed to the
treaty and league in their present
form, while Governor Black, +he de-
mocratic nominee, was in favor of
them-hence his defeat. This shows
that the people of Kentucky are with
the republicans and their foreign
policy.
In New York the majority of the
'didates elected were republicans
Theodore Roosevelt was elected to
the legislature by an overwhelming
majority over his opponent. This is
good news-he is chip of the "old
block" and will walk in the shoes
of his father, who was one of the
greatest Americans that ever lived.
In New Jersey while the democrats
seem to have elected the governor,
the republicans retained both houses
of the legislature and elected the
governor, the republicans retaind
both houses of the legislature and
elected most of the mayors of the
various cities
In Ohio, there was no gubernatior-
ial election but most of the cities
which, held elections, elected repub-
lican mayors.
In Maryland the election of COVER
nor is very close, but it seems that
the republicans are leading and very
likely will win.
vt seems to the Independent that
there is no doubt that the people
are tired of the present administra-
ti9n and when the time comes will
make clean sweep of democratic
incompetency and will fill every re-
department Off the government with
republicans, and the sooner the bet
ter. Let the good work go on. The
results, are entirely satisfactory to
every big hearted American and true
republican.

POLITICAL PATTER.
Continued from Page a.


in business, professions and trades
The answer is self evident. And on
general principles this ought to be
done There are, however, some
phases of the question which deserve
consideration. No one in business,
following professions or trades ought
to expect patronage solely upon the
grounds of race or color. Patronage
must be merited. Anything short of
this would not only be placing a
premium upon ,incompetency and in
efficiency, but would also tend to
foster and encourage racial preju-
dice and segregation conditions that
we protest against most bitterly. Why
should we patronize V merchant
whose goods are inferior, or eat in
a restaurant that is dirty, with food
half cooked and badly served, or hire
a ''jack-legged" carpenter or an IN
skilled mechanic to do our work just
because he happens to be Colored?
Why intrust your life and the lives
of others to the care of a tquack"
doctor? Why jeopordize your judicial
rights in courts of law by employing
attorneys who are unfit to look after
your interests-just because they hap
pen to be members of the same race
to which you belong. Colored men
must not expect patronage of their
people on account of the color. But
they must prepare themselves for
business and for the professions and
trades which they represent, and
then they will win the. respect and
patronage of the race upon merit.
Otherwise, they need not hope to re-
,ceive the united support of the think
ing ones of the race.

Recent Elections and hTeir Results.

Eelections were held last Tuesday
in several of the states for governors,
state house officers, mayors and
judges. Governors were elected In
the following states: Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Maryland, Kentucky and
Mississippi. The election in Mas
sachusets in the greatest outstanding
feature of all the elections. Cover
nor Coolidge, Republican. was elect
ed by the greatest majority in the
history Of that state over his demo-
cratic opponent, Long. The election
of Governor Coolidge attracted ma
ion-wide attention because of the
great issue between the two opposing
candidates. Governor Coolidge stood
for law and order, while Long, his
democratic opponent, appealed to the
rabble and the laboring element.
In the police strike in Boston sew
eral weeks ago, Governor Coolidge
denouncedet as tn-American and con-
trary to orderly government, and de-
clared that in the event of his cleo
ton that not one of the striking po-
licemen should be re-instated. The
democratic candidate, Long, defended
the action of the strikers and prom
Used to .reinstate the strikers if elect
ed This made the issue clear-cut-
law and order on the one side and
lawlessness and disorder on the
other. AS a result, Governor Coolidge
was elected by the greatest popular
vote ever given to any governor in
the state of Massachusetts,. This was,
a great rebuke to Candidate Long and
the democrats of that state. All they
sought was office-law and order
counted for nothing.
This is a wholesome lesson to any
party or candidate who seeks to win
by crooked methods or policies. 1t
teaches that the American people will
not long stand by those who aid
and abet lawlessness and mob law.
but will always stand by those who
stand for constitutional government.
The results of the election show
THAT the people are in favor Of re-
publican epolicies and are tired of
democratic INCOMPETENCE: for Ken
lucky elected a republican governor
by one of the largest maiorities ever
given to a governor in that state.
He defeated his democratic opponent
by over $4,000.

May 1 was a dreary day the people
who had charge OF the May celebra-
~tion and barbecue which was held for
tie soldiers in Colonia hospital yes
to-day were ready and on the job and
did their part. With the big pigs
roasting at Stillman's farm near the
hospital despite the rain many weary
boys came down from h hospital in
order. as some expressed it, ito be
nea a. long as possible the savory
odors that somehow touched the right
spot and made you feel a bit home

bring the boys down from the hospi-
tai to the farmhouse in order that
they could get away the weatherman
decreed otherwise, so the brown, well
seasoned pigs, just done to the turn,
were carried back TO the hospital
where each could have his fill.
An entertainment was given in the
Red Cross rooms at 4 o'clock and
another in the Knights of Columbus
hut at 6 o'clock. Then two hundred
and fifty of the men who were fit for
the journey were taken to Newark
under the auspices of the War Camp
Community Service. taken to dinner
and theatre ~afterward.
The plans of the entire entertain
ment were in the hands of Mrs. G. T..

AS far as the solicitation of money
and provisions in Sewaren the honor
goes to Mrs. L. f. Ballard. At the
completion of the circuit she turned
in to Colonia $113, ~thirty-eight pies,
275 crullers and FIVE cakes. In Wood
bridge this was done under the direc-
ton of Mrs. b. w. Hoagland and Mrs.
II. r. Valentine. The Red Cross alone
denoted 500. A delegation of the
smaller school children were sched-
uled to do a May pole dance but
owing to the weather a number of
the parents objected to allowing the
children to go up there so q number
of teachers represented Woodbridge.

The sudden glare of white light

f~uriously and just managed to catch
a glimpse of Hamilton Certeis before
he closed the alley door. / had Wis
ion enough to observe that he gave

1t to lock itself. 1t must be a fine

Certeis stood still for what seemed
to me a very long time. Probably
1t was to accustom his own eyes to
the darkness. nevertheless, I wonder
ed If he could feel the presence Of an
other human being close to him. or IL
he could hear the sound OF my heart
which was humping so loudly.

pound like a drum long after Certeis
had turned down the passage which

steps had died. At last I moved up
to the door and concentrated my
mind upon IL.
1 was sure that Certeis had not used
a key to open it. 1 must have heard
the sound. had he withdrawn one
from the lock. And IL occurred to me
that as Certels must come and go
through the door frequently, and of
ten stealthily, he would therefore
have IL adjusted to pen and close
with the least possible delay. 1t takes
time to insert and turf n key. I
concluded that the lock was controll-
ed by a secret button, or some con-
trivance which would respond quick
ly to the slightest touch.

of the door. II would be placed so
that a person might slip through the
instant the door moved. Thus l
limited the field of my investigation.

Women Protest Housing

WASHINGTON, May 20. - The
thousand or more women war work
ers living in the government dormi
tories in Washington have organized
to make an effort to remove a num-
Der of what they call "objectiona]
features in the management of the
hotel.
The women have gone on record
as disappearing the removal of
Colonel E. H. Sanctuary, who was
in charge of the housing. 1t was he
who excluded Senator's and Repre-
sentatives' secretaries and clerks
from obtaining quarters in the dor
mitories, contending that they were
not war workers and that thew re-
ceived salaries sufficiently high to
permit them to look elsewhere for
rooms.
Colonel Sanctuary is a member of
the advisory committee of the war
workers organization, and had
charge of allotment of rooms in
these dormitories from the opening
of the operation until April 80, when
his work as liaison officer with the
