VIRGINIANS RESENT
DEMOCRATIC TACTICS

Roanoke, Va.-Smarting under the
treatment accorded Negro voters in
the various cities of the state by dem
ocrats in the recent primaries, efforts
are being made by the leaders of the
group to secure an unprecedented
registration of colored citizens so
they may express their resentment
by votes for the Hoover Curtis ticket
in the November election.
These leaders are calling the atten-
ton of those who are qualified to vote
to the fact that democrats denied the
Negro the right to vote in the demo-
cratic primaries, and in many in
stances and cities, those who attempt
ed to exercise their franchise were
Inundated by poll workers. Special
emphasis is being placed upon the
Richmond primary.

Other officers of the club are R..

tee members are r. H. Graham and
Charles A. Hibbler. The purpose of

NATIONAL BAPTIST
CONVENTION DRAWS
LARGE ASSEMBLAGE

Shreveport, La, Coliseum Fair
Grounds, Sept. ministers and lay
men, men and women from AZ states
and state conventions took part in the
opening of the 49th annual session of
the National Baptist convention of
America, which convened in this city
today. These messengers represent
constituency of three and one-half
million Negro Baptists. The parent
body and the woman's auxiliary make
up the convention proper. "All Hail
the Power of Jesus Name" sung by
"a chorus, made up of hundreds of
voices from the 50-odd Baptist
churches of Greater Shreveport, add
ed religious fervor to the stage that
had been so beautifully set for this
religious gathering. The convention
will carry on for five days, during
which time every phase of denomin-
ational work will be reported through
the several boards to whom has been

Reports from such republican chief
tains as state Senator Adelbert H.
Roberts, Chicago, member of the ex-
ecutive committee in charge of the
western bureau; and Alderman Fred
r. Moore, New York City, chairman
of the organization bureau of the
eastern division, showed that the va
rious departments had been organ
lied, workers selected and everything
in readiness to launch an active and
enthusiastic campaign.
According to the plans perfected
recently, a strenuous effort will be
made to accomplish an unprecedented
registration of colored citizens in
every section of the country, especial
ly in those states where colored vot-
ers hold the balance of power, and
to line that vote up behind the Her
bert Hoover Curtis ticket. The rep
resentatives expressed the opinion
that colored voters believed in the
republican standard bearers, not be-
cause of promises, but because of the
records of the men, which are fraught
with indications of courage, states
manship and the belief in the en-
forcement of the constitution of the
United States in its entirety.

SIOUX FALLS A THRIVING
COMMUNITY

"Aggressiveness and progressive
ness are plainly evident" said Mrs.
Alphonso Wilson, when she spoke of
her observations of our group, after
a recent visit to Sioux Falls, South
Dakota.
Leaving Omaha sweltering beneath
a temperature of SO degrees, one can
appreciate the GOODNESS of this won
derful little city of $4,000. One
notes with pride the growing bus
inesses controlled by our group, al
though we can boast of but 100 of
the population.
A well equipped garage, comparing
favorably with the other garages of
the city, a janitor's supply house,
which is operated by former Oma-
han, a restaurant, beautiful in its
cleanliness and up-to-date service,
and beauty parlor which has no ri
val between Chicago and the Pacific
coast, are some of the race enter
prises.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell, who came
to Sioux Falls some 20 years ago,
own and operate the beauty depart
ment of the Shriver and johnson De-
partment store which is the largest
of it's kind in the state. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mitchell employ % young men
and women as operators, BARRIERS and
office force to care for the large pat
ronage which is drawn from all parts
of South Dakota.
If the community life is prosper
Gus, then the church life is certainly
divine. At the regular church meet
ing last Sunday, every citizen of the
town was present and participated in
the music and the services. The one
church is under the guidance of the
Rev. Mr.. Withers and his splendid
wife and is doing its part for the up
lift of our people in the section.
Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Withers have
raised the standard of right living in
the city to a high plane and it ap-
peared that each man, woman and
child, was endeavoring to follow their
well laid plans. Generous hospitality
welcomes you at Sioux Falls.

Post No. 81 of the American Legion

ton signed by so of its members to

Legion, urging full officers training

Whereas, the Negro has always
furnished his full quota of officers
and soldiers in all wars, expeditions
and conflicts in which the United
States has engaged since its earliest
existence, and he will always be ex-
pected to do SO,
Whereas, the citizens military
training camp does not admit, under
it's present system, the training of
young colored men unless there is a
sufficient number of qualified appli-
cants to form separate unit,
Whereas, this system is unfair and
unwarranted in states sparingly pop
luated by Negroes,
Whereas, the Negroes admission
to the training camp is based upon
his ability to obtain the necessary
quota for separate camp and
Whereas many sections of the

govern in the training camps and
where there is not a sufficient num-
Der of qualified applicants of the Ne

that Negro boys be permitted to train
in units with other citizens and that
the state organization of the Ameri-
can Legion use its influence to this
end
