MEN AND MEASURES

Throughout the East and West
there is a growing tendency among
the colored people toward independ
ence in politics. Now as never before
they are looking into the records
of the candidates, ascertaining what
stand they have taken in regard to
certain measures and if their record
is clear and they have supported
the proper measures and opposed
those considered otherwise, that
candidate, be he Democrat or Re-
publican, is given consideration by
the colored voters.
Having had the privilege of as
sisting in the selection of the men
who serve this Nation in official
capacities, for low these many years,
the colored man now has his eyes
wide open and is doing his own
thinking. He realizes that there are
good and bad candidates on both
the Democratic and Republican tick
cts. Neither party has been able
SO far, to present a faultless group
of candidates, therefore, it behooves
the black man as well as all intelli-
gent voters of other races, to select
your candidates with care, and vote
for the men who in your opinion
are best qualified for office and
whose record shows that they he

can citizens and work and vote for
your own interests.

Here's what really transpired: It
was Thursday night, and, needing
fish for Friday, Jonah, or Jones, AS
we call the family today, started
for the reservoir in Central Park.
Just as Mr.. j. reeled in his line,
with rnonstrous whale dangling
on the hook, a game warden steps
up. throws back his Tuxedo and
with the old badge glittering in
the sunlight shoots this terrifying
question: where's your license?'
Jonah, of course, carried no
license, because that was in the
days before printing had been dis
covered. But he was absolutely
|flabergasted. and, according to Hen.
dirk Van Loon, Jonah swallowed
hook, line and sinker--ald then
swallowed the whale. This Is the
honest truth, according to Van, but
some cub reporter. in great excite
ment, got the story bawled up ana
his paper came out with the big
fake about Joah taking dive into
the belly of the poor fish.
As the first president Of the
Ixaak Walton League, Jonah ran
up q batting average for publicity
that even Brother Coolidge and
Brother Ruth are finding tough
"a equal. Coolidge and Jonah,
by staying away from Michigan,
showed themselves much wiser
fishermen than Bro. Ruth. The
President had no license to fish
IN New York State, but through
friends at Washington he was
able to get . line on things e
Albany. Poor Bro. Ruth doesn't
even know the name III the
Michigan governor.

do certain things. Look at the way
