BY Mrs Davis who outlined methods

Goose Neck Bill
Texas Politician
Boosts al Smith

FORT WORTH, Tex, Oct. IT,
Speaking before the Civic League
here, William Nj. Goose Neck Bill
Mcdonald, stated that the most
vicious. relentless, un-American un-
just organizations in America today
are the Ku Klux Klan and Lily White
Republicans.
I'D rather stand with Tammany
Hall, regardless of all its alleged
misdeeds, than to side with the Klan
and Lily White political organiza-
tions of this country" he said.
"What would the American people
say If Governor Smith stood charged
with forming political coalitions with
these organizations to win the Presi-
dency of the American republic?"
he asked.
In his talk in favor of the election
Of Governor Smith for the Presi-
dency, Mr.. Mcdonald said in part
"All citizens, black and white alike,
should honor a brave and independ-
ent man like Governor Smith-a man
of stainless integrity, will, and intel
lectual force. He has the good sense
to know that Ku Kluxers, Lily
Whites, .flatterers, cringers and time
servers are dangerous citizens of our
community, and he refuses any eff
fort to gain applause and power by
pandering to the mistakes, prejudices
and passions of the multitude who
are the enemies of liberty and hu-
man rights"
"There are in the South, North,
East and West thousands Of white
men and women who have accepted
IN good faith the results Of the Civil
War; men and women who love to
preserve this nation; men and women
tired Of racial hatred. tired of 1egis-
lation based upon Acknowledgement,
peonage, inequality before the laws
in all the states, and longing for a
real governmental policy based upon
mutual respect and eonfidence-all
American citizens, regardless Of race,
color or religion.
Governor Smith is bigger than a
party. l wonder sometimes whether
the United States is to forever be
governed by men of parties full of
hatred, full of color prejudice, full
of malice, and full Of slander."

Pastors Guilty
In Richmond
Pass Scandal

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 16.-..The
Rev. T. d. Lee, assistant grand chap
lain of Elks and Baptist pastor of
Norfolk, Va, and the Rev, James S.
Hatcher, A. NJ. f. pastor of Roanoke
Va, were sentenced to three months
in jail and fined $500 each in the
pass scandal Monday.
Jail sentence was suspended and
the men put under parole for five
years. The court in lecturing the
preachers notified them they are not
to accept one cent Of money from
their congregations to aid in paying
the fines. They must pay it out of
their own labors.
Lee pleaded guilty, and Hatcher
not guilty. The latter subsequently
changed his plea to guilty.
J. M. Avery, of Durham, N. c.,
was not present. His case goes over
to the next term of court.
: Alfred Chapman, white, chief of
the pass division, G. and d. Railroad,
who issued out the free passes on
his lines to Lee and Hatcher, pocket
ing sums ranging from SIS to $35,
which he charged them in each case,
was given one and one-half years in
the federal prison.
William F.. Denny, a Richmond
lawyer, involved in the case, was
exonerated by the court.
