OHIO RACE CANDIDATES DE-
sFEATED.

Cleveland. Ohio.-In the midst of
the joy over the election of Senator
Warren G.. Harding there is gloom
here and in Columbus over the defeat
of all our candidates for the LeSis-
lature. Out of six candidates in the
state, only one was elected, Henry
Higgins of Cincinnati, Ohio.
The defeated candidates are Capt.
William Il. Green for the senate,
Harry E. Davis and Samuel f.. Woods
for the house, Cleveland: Rev. G.. il.
Davis and Attorney Hughes of Co
lumbus.
1t is the opinion of some that the
white women concentrated against
these candidates because the race
issue had been put forward by the
Democrats. The Democrats, through
the official Democratic state COM
mittee, called for the voters to knife
the candidates, because they claimed
their election would mean social
equality.
If there was fear that the so-called
Beatty civil rights bill would be intro
duced, making all discrimination i'll
public places Il crime, there seems to
be little hope for those who do not
care for the bill to be introduced. The
Legislature is overwhelmingly Repub-
lican and the colored voters of the
state have sufficient influence and de-
Termination TO have the bill passed, il
is declared. The defeat only has
aroused all the Ohio voters to work
all the harder for economic justice.
Some persons are charging the
Republican organizations in Cleveland
and Columbus with double crossing.
1t is stated that it is very strange
that in the republican unprecedented
landslide, only the colOred candidates
were defeated on the Legislative
tickets. Cincinnati, which is known
to be more prejudiced than any other
city in Ohio, backed its candidate
through the organization to success
1t is difficult to believe, however, that
the Cleveland organization, under
Maurice Maschke, who always has
been known to be 100 per cent fair,
would double cross with Councilman
Thos Fleming and other Cleveland
leaders. Most anything is expected
of the Columbus organization, as 1t
has failed to stand the test on previ-
Gus occasions

The splendid victory was vic

The victory is worthy of our

THE NEGRO A LARGE FACTOR IN
LABOR.

The Negro is indeed large factor
in labor. He supplies one-seventh of
the workers of America. Forty thou
sand of the 100000 of the coal miners
union are Negroes. One-third of the
workers in America in iron and steel,
as we'll as a large percentage of the
workers in the packing industries, are
Negroes. Negroes form one-half of the
employees in the Chicago stockyards.
They are also largely represented in
building trades. One-tenth of the rail-
way workers in this country are Ne
groes. 1t is significant that the Ne
gro looms large in the basic industries
necessary to our civilization; namely,

NEGRO WHO KILLED
AGED MAN is KILLED
Jury at Sterling Deliberates Less
Than Hour in the Case of
Henry Conrad.

Sterling, Colo, Nov. 16.-Henry Con-
rad, Negro charged with manslaugh-
ter, was found not guilty in the Dis
trict Court here Tuesday after the
jury had deliberated on the case less
than an hour.
Conrad struck William Heggs, n
years old, over the head with a hoe
during a quarrel in Merino, Colo, on
July 2S, 1920. Heggs died two days
later and Conrad has been in jail ever
since that time, awaiting trial.
Evidence produced at the trial, in
cluding for the most part that of the
states witnesses, showed that Conrad
had taken a rifle from Heggs' son
and that, to secure possession of the
rifle, the elder Mr.. Heggs had struck
Conrad in the mouth. The evidence
of the defense showed that Conrad
simply raised the hoe with which he
was working at the time, in a natural
gesture of protection. In so doing,
the hoe struck the back of Heggs'
head.
The younger Heggs will go to trial
tomorrow on charge of assault with
intent TO kill.

GREAT PLAY AND A GREAT ACTOR
Negro Actor of the Greatest the StageA Star in
the Play ''The Emperor Jones'"

years ago. Mr.. Woolcott concluded
his review as follows:
The Provincetown Players have
squanderously invested in cush-
ions for their celebrated seats
and concrete dome to catch and
dissolve their lights, so that even
on their little stage they can now
get such illusions of distance and
the wide outdoors as few of their
uptown rivals can achieve. But
of immeasurably greater import
ance in their present enterprise,
they have acquired an actor, one
who has it in him to invoke the
pity and the terror and the inde-
scribable fOreboding which are
part of the secret of "The EN-
peror Jones'"
When we heard that Mr.. Gilpin
was coming out of the cost of "Abra-
ham Lincoln" we regretted 1t. Ihe
Emperor Jones'" however, has given
him the opportunity to show that he
can play not only a minor part, bu'
sustain an entire play. He Is prov
ing himself to be n great actor, and
he is also demonstrating TO the New
York public and theatrical managers
those artistic powers of the Negro
which will some day be generally
recognized.-New York Age.

DOWN in Macdougal street, in the
- heart of Greenwich Village, the
Provincetown Players are pro-
ducing a play which is calling forth
columns of notice from the foremost
dramatic critics of New York. The
play is entitled "The Emperor Jones'"
The star of the cast, in fact, the whole
play Is Charles S. Gilpin, colored
actor The rest of the cast is white.
Mr.. Gilpin showed himself a fin
ished actor in "Abraham Lincoln"
which ran the whole of last season
in this city. He created the role of
"Custis" when the play was produced
in America So finished was his act
ing that, probably, not one person out
of hundred ever knew that the part
was being played by a colored man.
Most people took it for granted that
the actor was a white man darkened
up to play the part; and the news
papers never enlightened the people.
In "The Emperor Jones' no such
mistake is possible. Mr.. Gilpin plays
without any wig and with very little
makeup" The critics of New York
are proclaiming his performance as
one of the best ever seen in this city.
For example, Mr.. Haywood Broun, the
dramatic critic on "The Tribune in
Il review n column in length says:
The emperor is played by
Negro actor named Charles S.
I, .e.t tIN,.fn
ing performance we have seen any
place this season. He sustains the
succession of scenes in monologue
not only because his voice is one
of q gorgeous natural quality, but
because he knows just what to do
with it. All the notes are there
and ne has also an extraordinary
facility for being in the right place
at the right time. Generally he
seems fairly painted into the
scenic design One performance
is not enough to entitle player
to the word great even from not
too careful critic, but there can
be no question whatever that in
.'The Emperor Jones" Gilpin is
great 1t is a performance of he
roic stature. 1t is so good that
the fact that it is enormously
skillful seems only incidental.
Mr.. Alexander Woolcott, the dra-
matte critic on "The Times" in re-
view of equal length says:
Though this new play of his is
SO clumsily produced that its pres
entation consists largely of long,
unventilated intermission inter-
persed with fragmentary SCENES
it weaves a most potent spell,
thanks partly to the force and cum
ming of the author, thanks partly
to the admirable playing Oh
Charles S. Gilpin in title role
so predominant that the play Is
little more than dramatic mono
logue. His is an uncommoniy
nowerful and ina aginative perform
ance. in several respects unsur-
nassed this season in New fork.
Mr.. Gilpin is a Negro.
