MRS. OLLIE CARR THANKS
FRIENDS FOR AID GIVEN

Now that my trials are over and /
have been vindicated by the court, !
wish to publicly thank my St. Paul
friends, including many members of
St. Paul Baptist Church, for their
friendly assistance, encouragement
and financial aid i'm making it posi-
BILE for me to employ and pay retain
er fees for attorneys in st. Paul and
Chicago, and to pay railroad fare and
expenses of my Chicago attorney
from Chicago to St. Paul and return.
For your kindness 1 am deeply CRATE
full.
Rev. Mr.. Thomas J. Carr, i'm the
published statement i'm which he at
tempts to ''explain" away the case,
said his attitude" in my suit for
divorce has been one of passivity."
He was very belligerent until he was
put i'm Jail for failure to pay alimony;
after that there was some ''passivi-
ty." How a man who has been pub
hcly proven in open court to have
violated the laws of God and man;
first, in that he had deserted his law
full wife and failed to support her for
a year; second, that he had commit
ted adultery, and third, that he had
knowingly married another woman
while he had one lawful wife, the
mother of his two children, can pre-
tend to be a minister of the Gospel,
a disciple of Jesus Christ, is astOund-
ing and shows the depths to which
our ministry may fall. He says in
his statement that 1 got my divorce
without contest as he Ibid not wish
to be annoyed any further, and did
not appear in court" That is one
way of putting it, but the truth is

WILLIAM WALL|NC, DUBOIS SPEAK
AS SN.A.A.C.P. CONFERENCE CLOSES
Party Politics Will Never Be
Salvation of Negro, Writer
Tells Group.
Non-Partisan Vote Need
Walling Says Each Social Group
Should Vote for Own High
est interests.

Chicago, June 29.-Speaking last
night before a mass meeting of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People in 18th An
nual Conference here, William Eng
lish Walling, writer and lecturer, de-
clared that the Negro must look for
salvation elsewhere than in party pol
itics.
Mr.. Walling urged that Negroes
throughout the United States vote in
dependently of established political
parties.
Non-Partisan Vote Need Voting.
"As a prosecuted minority the col
ored people must vote for their
friends absolutely regardless of par
ty,' declared Mr.. Walling. "And
that is exactly what they are doing
in every Northern state. When there
is no friend to be voted for and no
enemy to be voted against, a colored
citizen may vote for his party.
But even then he knows it is only
his party for that one election and
in that one state. In the neighbOr-
ing state he knows very we'll that
that same party may be in the hands
of the Ku Klux. And he doesn't
know who will control his party in
the next election.
Social Group Voting.
"Non-partisan voting is compare
lively new and there is not always a
full realization of what it means. 1t
means, first of all, that the colored
people must give first consideration
to their own protection and advance
ment, viewed, of course, in broad
and enlightened spirit. No true friend
of the colored people, whatever his
politics may be, can honestly urge the
colored citizen to do anything else.
You must consider yourselves first.
"Is this narrow or selfish? 1t is
not. if each social group voted in
telligently and with true vision for
it's own highest interests we should
have an ideal commonwealth. 1t is
to the general interest that each
group should attend to it's own busi-
ness-provided that business is not
conceived in a small-minded or short
sighted spirit. We can never get
anywhere by attending to one anoth-
er's business.
United Stand Necessary.
"But is this all that is needed to
make the ballot effective? Can the
colored people confine their attention
to their own interests thus broadly
conceived? They cannot-and for
two reasons. They must take their
stand with those who want to make
the ballot effective and they must
take stand against those who want
