and whiskey and drink thetsame be-
fore an assembled throng, with an
alleged payment of SAC per quart
for champagne and total expense
ranging from nine thousand to
seventy-fve thousand dollars in one
night, a way will be found to arouse
public sentiment to point where
Madame Mabel Walker Willebrandt
will be forced to quit.
But we are discussing this Perry
w. Howard case. What did she say?
What did the Associated Negro
Press interviewer say? Here it is:
While it is understood that most
present day state political organlza-
tions have financial assessments
levied upon patronage, the practice
was made a felony by law passed
last year, sponsored by Southern SEN
ators for the express purpose of trap
ping those who lived upon federal
jobs.
The dwelling of attention, how
ever, upon Mississippi where the
lone Negro national committeeman
still survives and Georgia where a
senatorial investigation committee
recently pilloried Ben Davis, has
given rise to the widely expressed
view that the real purpose of the
drive was to rid the party of Negro
leadership The absence of prosecu-
ton in other states thus far seems to
emphasize that opinion.
Il will not discuss the Perry How
ard matter, because it would be
both unethical and unprofessional to
give out information regarding a
pending case" Mrs. Willebrandt said
in answer to a series of pointed ques
tons presented by A. n. P, land,
while l deeply regret the turn the
matter has taken in the public press
and know that many will perhaps in

materially increased. The fact that
Hon. Alfred E. Smith is laundering
into replying in person to his own
political traducers, instead Of assign
ing this task to some Of his able
friends, who know him and his
record best, is the only counteracting
movement, which has tended to
lessen the injurious effect Of Mrs.
Withdrawals plumbers in New York
and Mississippi.
This lady is ostentatiously in love
with herself and the office she holds.
She moves in a little world all her
own. The wise thing for her to do
in the interest of the brilliant nomi-
nee and the Republican Party is to
Ego way back and sit down."

terpret my activity wrongfuily, l
simply am following the only course
open, that of prosecuting criminality
and graft wherever evidence OF 1t Is
laid before me. I am first a law
officer of the government. While as
an individual / have espoused the
cause of Herbert Hoover neither that
fact nor the interests of the Re.
publican party will affect my official
attitudes"
With all due respect to Mrs. Willie
brandt and with recognition of her
remarkable legal abilities as female
attorney, we are disposed to remark
that she needs course of instruction
in political management and many
years study in a school of common
sense. How else are we to regard
her remark, "While as an individual,
l have espoused the cause of Her
bert Hoover neither that fact, nor
the interests of the Republican
party Will Su1ect my OFFICIAL aIti-
tudes."
She acted in the Republican Ma
tional Convention, both as an in
dividual and as an official of this
great party organization. Gagged
by what she says, she should never
have attended the sessions at Kan
sas City, Missouri, but should have
been discharging her duties as AS
sistant Attorney General of the
United States, for which service the
people of this country, both white
and black, Democrats and Repub-
licans were paying her.
But even before we have CON-
pleted this comment, the Associated
Press sent out the following informa-
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1928-08-25

of the Committee on Credentials of
the Republican National Convention
at Kansas City, Missouri. She is &C.
cordingly subject to political pressure
and can be swerved from doing in
Justice to her associates. Her words
are high-sounding and autocratic,
and might be used by the COM
mander-;n-chief or by the civilian
commander of the army and navy,
but not by the Assistant Attorney
General of the United States, when
she is subject to the orders and di-
rection of the Attorney General of
the United States.
She will find out before she has
gone much of the distance down the
road that she is now travelling that
the spectacular raids made in New
York, where Candidate Alfred E.
Smith claims residence, were made
as the result of public opinion and
political pressure. When defeat
stares her superior officers in the
face and this defeat necessarily en-
dangers her own tenure of office, she
may find out that there is such a
thing as wrecking the chances of a
candidates success by just such
blunders. She may not know it now,
but those who are handling this cam
paign will not submit in a matter
where she is proving herself to be
worse than "a bull in a china-shop."
When prohibition agents with the
authority of the Prohibition Depart
ment take with them their wives and
engage in an astounding expenditure
of government money for champagne

Asked who was responsible for the
subpoenas, the Federal prosecutor
answered.:
"Just put it the way l have stated.
I did not approve of this wholesale
publicity method and acted as / be-
lieved l should without any delay"
Here she is placed in the embar-
RAISING predicament of having
meddled with the affairs within the
jurisdiction of the United States Dis
trict Attorney of New York, just as
she meddled in the affairs of the
United States District Attorney in
Mississippi. She was after "boot.
leggers" in the one place and after
Negroes in the other. United States
Attorney Charles M. Tuttle was evil
IDENTIFY "mad clean through" when he
told the Associated Press, "Just put
it the way 1 stated. 1 did not ap-
prove of this wholesale publicity
method and acted as l believed !
should without any delay"
Now let the officials at Washing
ton take similar action in the cases
in Mississippi. 1t may not be well
to tell about it in public, but if some
one in authority will put paddock
on Mrs. Mabel Walker Withdrawals
tongue and a chain on her foolish
legal plumbers, the chances of land
ing Hon. Herbert Hoover in the
White House of the nation will be

MRS. WILLEBRANDT'S EVOLU-
TIONS.

Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
the very able Assistant Attorney
General of the United States, has de-
cided to return to the prosecution OF
the illicit dealers in contraband
liquor and it is reported that she
will appear in New York City soon
to prosecute prominent and wealthy
peoule, who have been flouting the
prohibition laws. Just why she
should have found time to go down
into Mississippi to engage in
.Negro hunt" and an "old line Re-
publican" investigation has been
mystery to US and it is admitted that
her action in this matter was some
what irregular.
The Associated Negro Press repre-
sentative scored heavily recently
when he succeeded in interviewing
Mrs. Willebrandt: 3.
Washington, D. C.-(ANP)-De-
claring that she was actuated IN the
prosecution of Perry w. Howard,
Mississippi Republican national COM
mitteeman, by no other motive than
that of doing her duty as a law
enforcement officer, Mrs. Mabel
Willebrandt. in an interview Wednes-
day with-a representative of the
Associated Negro Press, insisted that
she would not. be swerved by public
opinion or political pressure from her
program of seeking indictments and
convictions wherever graft was
found, no matter how big and power
full the person involved was or what
his racial identity happened to be.
Public attention has been directed
toward Mrs. Willebrandt recently be-
cause of the militant attitude and
eager zeal she has shown in her post
convention prosecution of charges of
selling federal offices in Mississippi,
a practice which, in the absence of
financing the Republican organiza-
ton in that and other Southern
states, is reported to exist in most
of them.
This lady must have thought that
she was dealing with gullible in
dividuals when she made this state
ment upon the eve of presidential
election and when she was chairman

"A BROADWAY LADY"
 LIBERTY, TONIGHT

"A Broadway Lady" Evelyn Brent's most recent, and if the critics are correct, her most color full starring vehicle, comes to tho Liberty tonight. Directed for F i. R. o. by Wesley Ruggles, and splendidly enacted by Miss Bpent and a well balanced supporting cast, this production deals with Broadway theatrical life, and has for it's central character very unusual little chorus lady, who nightly flashes her sparkling pei sonality across the footlights of the Big Lanes most popular mu- sical comedy. The picture takes Miss Brent out of the familiar crook roles to which she has so often and so successfully been as signed, and yet keeps her in a dramatic. dynamic part which sne plays with distinction. Theodore Von Eltz is excellent in the part of Bob Westbrook, the young SO ciety man, and Ernest Hilliard gives a fine performance as Mar tyn Edwards.
