SEE NEGRO IN
SENATE RACE
Move by CoIored Voters to
Defeat Senator FreIing-
huysen This Fall

TRENTON. April 19:-Entry of a
negro in the coming United States
senatorial campaign, running as an
independent, appears to be a posi-
bility in the negro movement to de-
feat United States Senator Freling-
huysen for reelection and to repudi-
ate the alleged "Lily-White" policy of
the Harding administration in MAX
ing appointments. The Rev. /. w.
l.. Roundtree. local Republican poll
tician and long the chief colored ad-
visor of state Republican Chairman
+. c. Stokes, announces that his
name has been suggested as a candi-
date. and that he has the matter
under consideration"
If DIR. Roundtree runs il will be
for the purpose of cutting Senator
Frelinghuysen's vote as much as
possible among colored voters. The
political idea behind the move is
that a colored Republican, in Mo-
vember on an independent platform.
might attract a good many colored
voters who could not be induced to
desert their party altogether and
vote for Governor Edwards.
Roundtree issued his statement af-
ter a conference with the Rev. Syl-
NcSltI L. NOiIOlHtfs. OtUlOCi dtlC
colored leader of Newark. who had
a conference with Governor Ed
wards and State Banking and Insur-
ance Commissioner futile. who is to
be a candidate for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination.
Corrothers is head of the "Inde-
pendent Voters League" which is
scheduled to hold a convention in
Newark Thursday. At that meeting
the question of running DIR. Round
tree in order to cut down the Frel-
inghuysen vote will likely be finally
determined.

GET IN TOUCH WITH STATE
POLICE BY THE TELEPHONE

Wherever the state police may be
p~atro1ing their posts in Northern New
Jersey. residents of this section will
be in close touch with the troopers
by telephone, through the cooperd-
ton of the New York Telephone
Company with the police organiza =
ton. il was announced today by
Theodore Spawn. local manager of
the telephone company.
If you want the troopers. Nh.
Spawn says. just ask your telephone
operator for state Police" She will
connect you with the nearest troop
ers' zone headquarters. as a regula-
ton telephone toll call. and the
troopers will 90 the rest. Informa-
ton to this effect will be printed on
the front covers of the next tele-
phone directories, along with the no
tees concerning fire and police
emergency calls. The telephone
numbers of the troopers h%eadquar-
tiers VIII be posted on the central
Office switchboard bulletins before
each operator to aid them in hand
ling these emergency calls.
Troopers zone headquarters in the
territory served by the New York
Telephone Company are at Netcong.
Hammonton, Bordentown. and New
Brunswick. Certain places in each
zone will be used by the state police
as sub-stations at which they may
reach their troopers by telephone
while on patrol. On arriving at a
town they will call at the sub-sta-
ton. inquire il anything is doing
and communicate with headquarters
il necessary. Zone headquarters will
have a scheduled route for the
troopers patrols and will know at
all times where these guardians can
be reached. BY this system of tele-
phone contact the state police will
be able to reach any given point in
their zones within a short time.
Similar cooperation is afforded the
state police in New York state by the
telephone company. The troopers of
the Empire State look upon cen
trail" as their right hand man, and
their records show hat time and
again the constabulary has been ma
t~erially aided by the quick work and
ready assistance of telephone opera
tors when speedy action is impera-
tive.
