Future Olympics
To Be Ruled By
Negro Athletes

Los Angeles-Two more Olympic
games-three at the most-and the
black man will put it all over the
white opponents in the performances
of American athletes in the interna-
tional games.
This is the observation of Paul
Lowry, veteran scribbler of sports in
Los Angeles, who has seen many of
the better athletes since the days of
Howard Drew, first of the Negro
sprint record holders, who ran the
century in 3-5 seconds 20 years ago.
"The Negro has ease and grace and
natural ability without the white
mans besetting sin-tension," writes
Lowry. mo colored man is ever
beaten because he ties up. But the
white athlete is temperamental; he
strains and presses on the day of the
big race, and away go his chances.
The Negro is emotional to a high de-
gree, but he is capable of doing big
things in a relaxed manner"
Two Negro athletes trained in
American colleges won three Olympic
championships in the recent track and
field games. They were Eddie Tolan,
former Michigan star. who won the
100 and 200 meter dashes, and Ed
Gordon, former Iowa athlete, who won
the broad jump. Ralph Metcalfe of
Marquette ran second in the 100-me-
ter dash and placed third in the 200
meter. Phil Edwards, former New
York University athlete, won points
for Canada by placing third in both
the 800 and $500 meter rune.
Years ago the Nego had an in
feriority complex" owry writes.
"They are coming into their own now
because they have proved to their own
satisfaction that they are good COM
petitors."

BOB CHURCH GETS BIG VOTE

BOB CHURCH GETS BIG VOTE
MEMPHIS, Tenn. = August g.
(CPA)-The official report of the cleo
tion Board of Shelby County shows
that Robert R. (Bob) Church, Jr,
Negro, leader in the Republican Par
ty, received 2,515 votes for member
ship on the Republican State Execu-
tive Committee. Mr. Church led his
ticket in the primary held August A.
Although there were many predic-
tions of trouble at the polls, the day
was one of peace and harmony, and
Negroes turned out in large numbers
to vote principally the Democratic
ticket. 1t was their object in voting
this ticket to nominate the best can
didate, and to be sdre to defeat the
most unfavorable candidate. The can
didate voted for by the Negroes was
nominated. 1t is understood this pol
icy was conceived and advocated by
Church and his lieutenants, and is
but another of his many victorious
political battles.

The post Of Minister to Haiti, for
merIy filled by Americans of Negro
ancestry of known ability, is now be-
ing filled by white men of second-rate
calibre. President Hoover last week
appointed a Norman White, an un-
known, to fill the Haitian post sue
ceeding the retiring Dana G. Munro,
also was an unknown before taking
the ministership to that country.
Formerly, since Haiti was a black
Republic, American Negroes of des-
tinction and ability were named ENJOYS
to the island republic. Such men as
Frederick Douglass and Henry w.
Furniss filled the post with honor. 1t
is a sad commentary on G. o. P. par
ty politics to admit that there are no
Negroes within that party who can
occupy the Haitian job or others of
similar Importance. This is possibly
the excuse, the powers that be will
offer but the people know that it is
nothing more than excuse and a
poor one at that.

FRANKLIN AND THE CALL.
HAITIAN U. 9. MINISTER'S.
RADIO
Cecil e. Newman

The high point Of the past week
was a chat with Chester A. Franklin,
forward r-publisher of the K. c.,
CALL, who spent two weeks vacation
ing on Minnesota lakes and golf
courses. One of the most successful
dominant and sagacious figures in the
Negro-American journalism, Franklin
absolutely refuses to talk about his
personal success. The phenomenal
progress of his K. C. CALL, 13 years
ago four page weekly, with less
than a 1000 circulation; today, l6
page newspaper with a A.B.C. audited
circulation of 1882, represents one of
the greatest pieces Of class newspaper
building on record. Each week 3S
persons draw pay checks from the
CALL pay window. Countless other
agents, newsboys and dealers profit
from sales of the publication.
Two former st. Paul boys, broth
ers, both products of Minnesota
schools, found their first opportunity
on the Franklin publication. One of
them, Roy wilkins, left. the CALL
news editor post, to assume the assis-
tant secretaryship of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Col
ored People. Earl Wilkins the other
and younger brother, former editor of
the lamented ST. PAUL ECHO, is still
q CALL staff member. He conducts
highly delightful column, "Sharps and
Flats" in addition to handling the
theatrical and amusement page. On
this same paper is young Joseph La
Cour, who is considered by authori-
ties as the outstanding advertising
man in the Negro newspaper field.
He is Nebraska boy, who went to
the CALL in its earlier days. Frank
lin believes in giving young men and
women chance to prove their worth.
Militant, aggressive and forward
the CALL guards zealously the rights
Of the Missouri Valley Negro. Vigi-
liant and constructive it works contin-
uously for Improvement of Negro COM
munity life. It's campaign against po-
lice abuse of Negroes accused of crime
fight to lower Negro homicides in ur-
ban Kansas City and maintenance of
an independent political policy are a
distinct credit to the mind and ability
of G. A. Franklin.

DEMOCRATS HURT TICKET BY
USE OF DANIEL WEST.

The first political tactical error
made by either of the three parties
in Minnesota in the drive for Negro
votes may be credited to the Demo
Gratis. This error is the use by that
party, as campaign speaker of Da-
MEL L. H. West, discredited political
worker who has served three terms
in Minnesota prisons. 1t is a mys-
terry to many Negro well wishers of
the Democratic ticket as to how that
party's leaders in this state could
pull such a boner." 1t is believed in
some quarters that West has fooled
some Democratic leaders as to his
true status.
West who some times poses as a
white man, has had varied and
checkered career since he arrived in
this state from the south. He is gift
ed with a glib smooth tongue. He
first received attention in Minneap

Holiness church. He styled himself
on posters and literature as "the
youngest bishop in America" After
