Nonpartsans Show Big
Strength in Dakotas

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 5.-Po-
litical observers here declared that
the strength of the Nonpartisan
league candidates in South Dakota
was surprising, in view of the fact
that the republicans thoroughly
swept the state in Tuesdays cleo
ton. But comparisons with former
elections show that the league lost
materially in the cities and consid-
erably in the rural districts.
Nonpartisan league candidates
have heretofore rarely run ahead in
any district, but, returns from the
Tuesday vote show few districts
where the league candidates led the

GREATEST
EUROPEAN WRESTLER
since HACKS time

Something new in the wrestling art
will be in store for Salt River valley
fans when Alec Romanoff and Nick
Daviscourt meet in finish match at
Tally's arena, Friday night. 1t is in
the style used Ey the big Russian
artist, who is recognized as one of
the cleverest big fellows the game has
ever developed.
First of all, Romanoff wrestles with
all fours, employing his feet with
equal precision with his hands to toss
his opponent about the ring. This
style has won for him the name of the
grapevine wrestler" and he is said
to be a wizard at this peculiar style.
Romanoff comes to Phoenix with a
wonderful record, having scored de-
cisive victories over such wonderful
men as Charley Cutler of Chicago,
former worlds heavyweight title hold
er; Jack Samson, Jack Sorenson and
many others of equal prominence in
the wrestling world.
Only recently he went three hours
to draw with Ad Santel, considered
the best man of his poundage in the
world. Sandel weighs about 100
pounds-too heavy for the light-heavy-
weight class and too light for the big
heavies. But at his weight he is mas
fer Of tban, oil
Based on past performances, Roman
off is real match for any man, and
if Daviscourt is counting on any "soft
pickings" here, he is in for a big sur
prise. On paper, it looks like one of
the best matches, from a standpoint
of evenness, ever arranged by Pro
moter M. M. Tally
! The two big fellows. are the same
size, in poundage, and have. enjoyed
about the same experience on the mat.
Daviscourt holds the heavyweight
championship title of the Pacific coast
and should he lose to Romanoff, will
surrender that honor

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS

ABOUT negro VOTE

sued statement which voices a wild
fear that white supremacy is be-
ing seriously threatened by the ac-
tivities of the Republican party to
hold intact the Negro vote. The
statement in part is as follows:
Migration into the north has made
the Negro vote potent factor. In
some districts it is the balance of
power. Senator Harding and his
party in bidding for this vote, have
made dangerous pledges of recogni-
tion AS result of these pledges,
Henry Lincoln Johnson (colored) was
placed as the Georgia member of the
National Republican comittee. Re-
publican success in November means

offices filled by Negroes. This men,

LOCAL MASONS WIN
right TO ESTABLISH
A GRAND lodge

The certificate of the Most Wor-
shipful Grand Lodge of (Colored) Free
and Accepted Masons of Arizona was
revoked ty the corporation commits
sion Monday. The annulment of the
charter takes away all authority of
the lodge which has been in conflict
with the local lodge which instituted
proceedings on the ground that the
certificate of incorporation was OBJ
tanned in a fraudulent and unlawful
manner, the articles not having been
acknowledged as they were purported
to have been.
In it's order, signed Monday, the
commission throws additional light on
the proceedings:
1--WE might further mention that the
evidence discloses that of the alleged
signers of the articles none of them
had any authority under the rules and
regulations of their order to organize
a Grand Lodge, especially after this
fashion. OF the lodges alleged to
have been represented, two of them
appear to have been the personal prop
erty of the promoter of this organiza-
ton, to wit, Henry Clark, which he
changed from place to place at will
and according to his own migrations.
He apparently engineered this scheme
of organizing Grand Lodge for finan-
cial returns to himself. Before fling
his articles he organized lodges, made
and unmade alleged Masons at will,
collecting all the while such revenue
as might be procurable from the re-
cipients of his favors. With the GER
tificate of incorporation so mistakenly
granted by the commission, he has
been enabled to doubly fortify himself
to prey upon the misinformed of his
own race We cannot lend our offices
or the law of the state to such per-
nicious scheme"

The public school of Sunny Side

colored students. Five have enrolled
and two of them are taking the high

Who CAN tell What
ELECTION DAY WILL
Mean To HIS PARTY!
lBy Asssciated Negro Press,

(By Associated Negro Press.)
CHICAGO, Ill.,. Oct. 29.-On the
Threshold of one of the greatest ma
tional elections, the people of our
group are looking to the future. They
are shaping their ideas for the things
to follow.
After the election, what?
With the election of the Republican
ticket, all minds, will turn to March
4th, the day of Inauguration, and the
formal displacement of eight years of
Democratic rule, Those who have
been active in directing the votes will
assume new responsibilities in advis-
ing with the administration on sub
iects that affect our problems.
The times will call for a high de-
gree of craftsmanship and unselfish-
ness. There will naturally he a dis
tribution of political wards, but the
kind of leadership that is most es-
sential makes jobs secondary and in
terests first 1t is believed that there
are many who have been active in the
campaign look at the matter exactly
from that point of view.
A Republican administration will be
a bitter pill for many sections of the
south. From the day the results are
announced will begin an effort to dis
credit Republican efforts. The age
old cries of Negro Domination" and
Social Equality" will get front page
stories and "sorious" editorial ex-
pressions.
The south. however, is in an eco
nomic quandary. The more conserv-
ative are decrying the wild immagina-
tions of the radicals. If the south is
to survive and thrive, 1t must have
labor. Because of their deeds and
their threats, Negroes are leaving the
section by thousands. They cannot
go one inch further and expect the
people to stay Therefore, it is alto
gether likely, that common sense will
prevail, and the race will be treated
more hike human being and Ameri-
cans than ever before.
In the north, it will be necessary to
give greater attention to the problems
of economic assimilation, and the new
problems growing out of the foreign
immigration.
There must be thrift and big bust
ness ventures. The, time is far spent,
and larger attachment to the com
mercial field must prevail.
If, by hook or crook, the Democrats
should continue in power, the whole
program is changed.
