BALTIMORE. April 26.-"Every-
one in politics comes up against a
most poisonous thing. and that is
organized interest," said Lady yAstor
at a banquet OF the League of
Women Voters here last night.
TT is for you women to do away
with this organized interest" she
told her auditors, mot by talking
or praying. but by prayer and
working. Men get discouraged. but
women in certain moral issues do
not, because we are fighting in
some ways as mothers"
Europe looks upon Secretary of
Commerce Hoover as "a sort OF
savior Of mankind" Lady Astor de-
clared.
Now Mr.. Hoover Is not an ideal
politician she said. He lacks the
glad hand and the perpetual smile,
but we all know what he stands
for"
Asks Greater Democracy.

the matter of definitely shaping out
policies with reference to candidates
for office in the coming elections.
Prominent Negroes from all parts of
the state attended the sessions and no
time was wasted in vitriolic speeches
against the white race; but President
Vann conducted the sessions in man.

some concrete work. Telegrams were
received from all the candidates giving
their views, which were recorded. The
organization made it plain to each can
didate that he would he held TO strict
accountability with reference to his
pre- election pledges.
IT seemed to be the consensus of
opinion that this formidable manner of
dealing with candidates will disabuse
the white mans idea that Negroes are
very gullible, easily baited and soon
forget verbal promises.
The state organization is composed
of large local organizations in nearly
every section of the state and must he

DISTINCTION

Washington, ID. c., April 2S.-Prof.
Edward =. Davis, head of the depart
ment of German in the Howard Uni
versity, recently received announce
ment from the office of the president
of the University of Chicago that he
had been elected fellow in German for
1922-23.
This comes as Il result of the nom
inatiOn of the seven professors of the
department of Germanic languages and
literature, the recommendation of Pres
ident JudsOn, and the vote of the Chi
cago trustees. 1t is recognition of
the scholarship Professor Davis has al
ready displayed as Il graduate student
The attainments required of fellows
are outlined as follows:
"The candidate must have attained
proficiency in some department In
general, she should have spent at least
one year in resident study after receiv-
ing his bachelors degree In making
the appointment special weight is given
to dissertations Indicating the candi-
dates ability to conduct original inves-
tigation."

Wills May Not Go Abroad.

Harry Wills, so the rumor goes, will
not go abroad for the simple reason
that he has heard from reliable sources
that the Utah mauler is to return to
this country soon, possibly May 20.
However, the Brown Panther from
New Orleans and New York, relentless
in his pursuit for chance at the title,
will not be denied. 1t is claimed he
will hound Dempsey until the latter is
forced to meet him. Wills made the
startling announcement last week that
he would meet Lewis, Carpenter and
Beckett in one ring, all in the same
night, and dispose of each one within
four rounds. All of which goes to
show that Wills really means business
and is going to pursue Dempsey and
finally force him through adverse pub
lice comment, to meet in the ring.
