Play Politics.

Many of our people questioned upon political

politics" Such of mind is hardly conceivable And
conceivable, justification be found to support it,
politics really MEANS the affairs of the people, Every phase of
national and civic life is encouched politics. Politics has
developed into highly scientific where strategy Skill udg
diplomacy and brains play important parts The black
mus learn play this game successfully.
Every phase of national and life should be free
intrigue and crookedne Yet game that played
essentially honest Each player afy attempts to deceive his
opponent In diplomatic circles player will be klfuly fencing
for leg and the time pointing AT the Peace
Conference, Japan tented issue of equality while in
reality the shewd Npponese diplomats aegaly pareyng
Shantmg Pennsulavhch they got In other words
games dcepvey hyproctca and aruy manoevered In
politics the methods and others of
priety used New York Chicago politician will enter the
Squared ARENA will clnch his extended fist carefully draw back
his good left point his opponents chin and then fast
lightning shoot his right his suspecng opponents solar
pexus Thus the fight The black has been playing
the game of politics precisely like amaewh dub He has
attempted to hit where he pointed and of he got licked
At last however, he is beginning the fuily of his
political There three political parties in America:
Republican Democratic and Socialist
the Republican and Democratic Parties, nowsonly that
George Washington founded Thomas jefferson the other
Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation
thus freeing the slaveeveyone knows why Mr. Lincoln did
thisand since then the black has bndy voted the
Republican ticket Even though he representation
the party he really worhps all old such The
Republican Party the hpa else the sea- The early bird
catches the wom "The rolling stone gathers moss, and "a
bird the hand worth in the BUSH To mention the
Socialist would black obeance
the devil ncanate But last he realizes that he adopt
kind of ne system He play politics.
Suppose in the last Presidential Election, thntre and
third of the black had voted the Republican ticket
thtyree and one-thd the Democratic ticket and thirty
three and oned cent the Socialist ticket Would not they
then quantities? Would each of the other
parties Immediately begin the balance? This
has been used by the Ish Italians and the Jews All
ptonaes and creeds have been doubtful with the exception
of the American black He has creesy left his hand exposed
Everyone knew his strength and he has lost
match game of politics to the present.
In Chicago Mayor Thompson boasts of his black boosters
knows that he controls the black and for that
they have become the political capegoa of Illinois, Frederick
Douglas preached in the late sixties pl your ticket doctrine
The of Anacosta took long and prophetic dip the future
Not only Chicago, but county and state the black
should become unknown quantity This is the first lesson

Republicans Democrats and Socialists fully appreciate his firm
luton actual performance then the system will change.
When this learned the other fine points of the game will
gradually Probably it to doubecros

sobery of its political destiny incumbent the black
present qutous system. He beat from the
inside and he succeeds gaining recognition, will then
