HOOVER HELD CHOICE
OF COLORED VOTERS
Best Interests of Race Rest With
Republicans, Declares DR..
Emmett J. Scott.

Insisting that the best interests of
the colored people of the United States
lie with Hoover and Curtis, DR.. Emmett
j. Scott, educator and publicist and
former special assistant to the Secretary
of War, declared in an interview that
frank discussion of the issues involved
in this campaign is causing a definite
trend of the colored vote to Herbert
Hoover
Dr. Scott, who is member of the
executive committee of the colored
voters division of the Republican ma
tional committee, expresses implicit
faith and confidence in Mr. Hoover.
Everything in his career" he said.
assures an administration that will
give to the negro group that recogni-
ton to which on its merits it is en-
titled. On the other hand, the state
ment issued by the Democratic pub
licity committee that colored persons
have only held menial jobs in the en-
ployment of the State of New York
under the administration of Gov. Smith
agrees with the facts and forecasts
what might be expected under him as
President Of the United States.
Herbert Hoover is without the
prejudices which judge men by their
faith and their color. His sympathy
has always been with the disadvanta2ed
and the underprivileged. In my
opinion, weaker negro peoples will be
regarded by him on the high plane of
justice and fair play just as he will
deal with the problems presented to
him in dealing with stronger nations
and peoples"
DR.. Scott described the building up
IN few short weeks Of a national or
ganization comprising practically every
State in the Union with a large negro
voting population.

Team Makes Hit
On Monday Bill

Those who like their dancing fast
and noisy will find a trip to the
Capitol theater well worthwhile, in
the opinion of the goodsized crowds
which saw three performances Of
Russo, Teis and Russo Monday aft
ernoon and evening.
The trio presents a snappy exhibit
ton Of clog dancing, literally inter-
spersed with comedy, that keeps
their audience on the edge Of its
seat ms long IS the presentation is
on.
The presentation is entitled a
"Sheik and Two Slaves" and its sue
cess is aided materially by excellent
stage settings and some snappy cos
tunes.
A pianist who can really sing, as
we'll as being an artist at the piano,
does much to put the act over. His
rendition Of "Strolling Along" got an
encore at every show Monday, and
that nco Is the newest 1indbergh
song.
The dancers are to appear at
