Democrats Say
Organization Is
Not Jim Grow

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-(ANPD
Encouraged by what they feel is a
definite drift upon the part of Ne
groes to the standard of AL Smith,
plans are being laid by the Demo-
cratic National Committee for a de-
termined effort to capture ,Negro
votes.
Already colored section of the cam
paign committee is being formed. The
organization is titled the Smith for
President Colored Headquarters and
is located at 126 w. 46th street, this
city.
Julian Rainey, a prominent young
attorney of Boston has been named
as active director although it is said
that some titular position will be
created for Civil Service Commission
er Ferdinand Q. Morton, long known
as the Tammany chief of Harlem.
Mrs. Bessey Bearden, N. Y, vice
chairman; Lester A. Walton, nation
ally famous member of the New York
Daily World staff, is director of pub
iicity; Mrs. Geraldyn Desmond, N. Y,
vice chairman. Walton handled a
similar phase of the campaign four
years ago, under the leadership of
VIM. H. Lewis, of Boston; Mr.. Nor
ton and Dr. VIM. J. ThompkiHs, of
Kansas City.
Asked why William d. Castor,
white, is named temporary chairman,
in charge of the headquarters with
Mr.. Rainey as secretary, and separ-
ate headquarters, set up apart for
the Smith national offices, one Tam
many official said:
For more than twenty years Ne
groes in New York City have had a
separate organization. Four years
ago, colored Democrats had their
headquarters with us in the Belmont
Hotel
"When the question of the colored
vote came up this time, colored lead
ers of New York said, they wanted
separate headquarters, because they
did not want the credit to go to the
Democratic National Committee
for swinging the vote to Gov. Smith,
when they were the ones who were
going to swing it. The colored lead
ers selected the name of the organi-
zation, "Smith for President Colored
League" This was not our sugges-
tion. Had we thought that separate
headquarters would have offended
the colored people of the country GER.
tainly we would have opposed such
headquarters. We don't advocate OF
sanction segregation. "The organi
zation has been divided into foui
regional divisions with Earl Dicker
son, Illinois, Director Middle West
Division; Robert Nelson, Delaware
Director Atlanta Division; DIR. viii
liam J. Tompkins, Missouri, Director
of Central Division, the Eastern Di
rector is yet to be named
Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom ha!
been named Chairman of Speakers
The advisory committee is headed b!
Ferdinand Q. Morton of New Yorl
and Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson is vic,
chairman.

Furthermore, the U. S. census and

Give it less social intolerance than

Home of Eddie Gardner
In spite of the fact that lady
mayor, recently beaten at the polls,
who spent her time preaching, Take
'em ont of Jobs, use white people, I"
refused to endorse Ed. Gardner, who
finished sixth in the Pyle's Bunion
Race, a local white paper started a
funi to buy him a nice home.
The new mayor, Mr.. Frank Ed
wards, has appointed the editor of
The Enterprise, Seattle's local race
paper on the theatre censorship
board.
Skilled Workers Needed
This little tribute to a good city is
not written to start a migratory flow
of race people here as pickip's are
hard for the unskilled. Too much
Asiastic competition. Yet if you
have a good trade, skilled in any
craft, have any money to invest,
could advise no better place than this
city with the largest number of rail-
roads east; nearest to the Orient

two other states. Eventually here is
