under the leadership OF Mr.. Fred
Chew, President, is preparing an
other fine treat in the shape of a
talk by Rev. o. S. Beedles of Trim
ity Methodist Episcopal Church on
Mckinley Hill. This pastor was
kind and appreciative enough to
have one of our men talk twice
before his young people on the race
question. He is broad and has new
ideas upon the question before us.
Politics are getting hotter and
hotter. and we predict that ii will
get so hot by June that some of
them will be burned out. 1t is all
Hoover, Hoover" on the Republi-
can side and on the Democratic side
there are grumblings and threats of
third party. But the old gray
mule will be ridden by one certain
Al whether they like him or not,
according to present outlook. They
cannot possibly win without AL
Smith for there is no other candi-
date before them who can draw a
corporals guard. McAdoo, erst-
while crownprince of the late and
unlamented "Wilson Democracy"
has gone off in his tent to sulk
since AL swallowed all the vote of
the democratic primary of Mes
home town, Los Angeles. Negro
voters in the middle western states
switch from old line republicanism
at this time, they may never have
again with profit. II Negro voters
in the North were organized they
would prove to be the deciding
factor. The southern Negro vote
is not worth mentioning at present
except as a bag of fish for the sue
cessful republican nominee. They
will shout Hoover, Hoover, If
Hoover pays their way to the Jim
crow heaven ne is furnishing for
ever hands out a few dimes on the
side. The foolish southern DEM
ocrats are what keeps the democrat
ie party out of power all the time.
One. of these days the party is 60
ing TO wake up and demand a
chance at the intelligent Negro vote.
Henry Watterson, great Democrat
Of Kentucky and editor of the Louis
vile. once said that il the Demo-
cratic party could secure enough
Negro votes in the North to keep
the Northern states in the doubtful
column which are now strictly Re-
publican, that the South would lose
her great influence in that party. A
tip.

II was a graceful act of the P.-I
of Seattle to wire Gardner. the Sc
attic Negro in the, transcontinental
foot race across from Los Angeles
to New York, $25 in appreciation
of the advertisement accruing to Sc.
attic from his performance. Passing
through oklahoma and Texas Pan
handle 1t became necessary to sep
arate the colored contestants from
the whites, on account of the ignor-
ant and vicious poor whites, who
made threats against the boys for
racing against white people" II
seems to us that the missionaries
who go to China to convert the
heather could find a lot of work
nearer home.
