same candidate, though Senator Sim
mons has not expressed repentance,
nor Mr.. Hawkins a change of heart.
Surely politics makes strange bed
fellows Can this fellowship survive
the election? We must rely upon the
political genius of Mr.. Hoover to har-
monte the inharmonious. If the Ne
gro's republication can stand the
strain of this campaign, it will GER
tainly endure forever AS things now
look, Mr.. Hoover will be triumphant
by majority whose margin will be
beyond the capacity of the Negro
vote to affect. Bigotry is hard to
beat. You may as we'll go reason
with the wolf why he has made the
eve bleat for the lamb as try to
argue with race hatred and religious
bigotry. There is nothing to do with
this wave of hysteria but let it wear
itself out. Like all other fanatical
movements. it has its own length.
The Billy Sunday. psychology is short
lived. The lynching of Negroes, the
persecution of Catholics, the same
fanaticism of bigots are but transient
phases of the disordered spirit. The
wave is now in the ascendant. 1t will
hardly subside before election. But
election returns do not affect funda-
mental principles. When Mr.. Hoover
wins, his hardest task will be to dis
entangle prohibition from the ugly
race and religious issues with which
it is involved.
He will have a much more difficult
task than Harding or Coolidge ever
had The cause of temperance is be-
ing murdered by the murderous COM
pany it is allowed to keep.
Hoover Prohibitions Hope
The demon rum must be destroyed.
The salvation of the nation depends
upon it. In a double sense the saliva
ton of the Negro depends upon it.
But it also depends upon the destruc-
ton of race intolerance and religious
bigotry. The Negroes who persist in
supporting Mr.. Hoover and many
will-must needs do so with a split
mind. Self-respect compels him to
resent racial hatred and religious big
otry, at the same time enlightened
self-interest requires him to support
prohibition. For after all, notwith-
standing the many weights and him
ORANGES which beset the G. o. P. in
the present campaign in the black
mans eyes, nevertheless Mr.. Hoover
is prohibitions best hope.

of republicanism. The hoped for re-
enforcement in the south comes from
the Ku Klux Khan ranks. The lily
whites are but another name for the
Klansmen, translated into political
terms.
G. 0. p. Acquiescent Beneficiary
The republican party becomes the
acquiescent beneficiary Of the evil
Vaccinations of the most insiduous
order that has ever been permitted
to raise its head in America. The
question naturally arises, "What will
Mr.. Hoover do when he succeeds to
the presidency with such heavy
handicap of accepted assistance?"
Can he meet the just demands of the
Negro and satisfy the Ku Klux Khan
at the same time? Their claims are
antithetic. Candor compels frank adj
miration Of Secretary Work who can
work his black wheel horses and lily
white steads in the same harness.

stuffs which went into the manufac-
ture of whisky now can be used for
the sustenance of the family and
home.
His democratic opponent, Mr.,
Smith, takes the opposite view, that
although it is a law, it is the outcome
of emotional fanaticism rather than
the result of sober reason. That it
Isupplants the legal manufacture and
sale of intoxicants with Illegal; that
it substitutes the secret saloon"
where men, women and children go
under cover and drink, for the open
saloon, where women and children
would not go. That it substitutes a
non-revenue producing, non-taxable
institution for substantial revenue
producing one. That the Eighteenth
amendment is consequently inimical
to the fundamental principles upon
which our democratic form of gov
eminent is founded in that is is I'M
just, uneconomical and an infringe
ment upon personal liberty.
In substantiation, he says that this
amendment was enacted during a
| time when four million of our young
men, eligible to vote, were engaged
in war, and on foreign soil. That if
they had been given the chance to
vote then as now they would have OPP
posed it, and that it would not now
be law. That those of us who were
here were so seriously engaged in an
effort to repair the damages of war
that we were willing to favor any
measure which seemed to conserve
the physical and mental resources of
the nation. That law made under
such circumstances does not reflect
the sober judgment of the electorate.
There is good reason in both of
these views. Both will alike attract
or repel votes.
The writer is moved to write on
this issue because of some of the very
pronounced sentiment attracted to
the Smith camp in the belief that if
he is elected, he will bring back the
saloon. In fact, two persons, here
tofore bitterly antidemocratic, offered
to bet me in sums ranging from 500
up that Smith will win. May / say,
that it meters little who wins Novem-

Mr.. Mitchell reviewed the back
ground and environment of the two
major parties. The Republican party
being the party which stood for hu-
man rights and liberty, the Democrat
ic party as the one opposing these
principles. He quoted from recent
speeches of southern democratic lead
ers against the Negro and also from
discriminatory laws on the statute
books in some southern states. He
stated that in no state or city where
Republicans are in control is there
any separate car laws or like humili-
ating regulations, while in every state
where the Democrats are in control,
there are such laws. He admitted
that there was segregation in the de-
partments at Washington, but called
attention to the fact that as soon as
knowledge of this was brought to
Herbert Hoover, he Investigated the
charge, and finding it true, abolished
it in his department. He character
lied Hoover as the biggest man in
America today capable and compe-
tent to handle national and interna-
tional problems and urged Negro vot-
ers to remain within the Republican
party and manfully contend for every
constitutional right.

Der 9Th, the Eighteenth amendment
will stand without even modification.
If you know the constitution, you
know that our government is divided
into three separate heads-legisla-
tive, executive, judicial. The first
does the making of the laws; the Sec
ond sees to their being carried out,
and the third whether they are made
in accordance with the constitution.
The province of each is clearly de-
fined. To change any part of the
constitution, it must be done by an
amendment. To amend the constitu-
ton two-thirds of the houses of con-
gress must take favorable action.
Then three-fourths of the States
must do likewise. At present, near
Nv three-fourths of the senate and
house are dry. And as of the 48
states voted for the amendment.
How can we expect to alter it?
Therefore, be not carried away by
the subtility of the serpent" Spoil
not your chance to vote intelligently
by voting for personalities instead of
issues. Let US not vote for Hoover
because he is Hoover; nor Smith be-
cause he is Smith; but rather for
Smith or Hoover for what principles
they stand for. Don't rely so entire
ly upon what the interested politi-
clan tells you. Read the issues; study
what they mean to your daily life.
Examine the policy and practice of
those who would likely be placed in
official position in case either is elect
ed. Then when you have decided
these, go to the polls and mark your
ballot accordingly
But. whatever be your choice in
November, let it not be said of you
as the only excuse for voting that way
that "The serpent beguiled me and
/ did eat"
