CALIFORNIA NEGROES CAST
TENTH OF STATES VOTE

Los Angeles, Cal.-(By the A. N.
P.)-Polling more votes than at any
previous election, the colored voters
throughout the state are accredited
with having cast one-tenth of the
votes in the recent presidential cleo
ton. Negroes showed great interest
in the issues involved and many took
advantage of the last minute regis
tration and were all ready to enter
the fray.
Heated and spirited arguments
marked the campaign carried on,
principally by nightly neighborhood
meetings for the presidential candi-
dates or for the municipal or state
candidates. Although it looked at
first as if the Negroes would desert
Hoover in his own state, from the
prediction talk, yet less than one
third of the colored votes cast were
for Smith.

The stories that were circulated
Immediately following the tragedy

by Richard Wolcott, Briton.
"The report that Negro passengers
and Negro members of the crew
