ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May al
four of the eight Christian Advocates,
published in various parts of the coun-
try as the official organ of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, were legislated
out of existence by the General Con-
ference today.
Their discontinuance was a part of
the general campaign for sweeping re-
t1enchment as an economy measure.
The proposal was fought stubbornly.
Other Measures Taken.
The editions ordered abandoned are
those published in Pittsburgh. Chicago,
Portland Greg. and Athens, Tenn.
Their circulation is to be absorbed by
the continuing New York, Kansas City,
Cincinnati and San Francisco publica-
tions.
Seven episcopal areas thus far have
been wiped out by the economy drive,
and the pension allowances for bishops
have been slashed 60 per cent The
conference calendar also lists salary re-
ductions of Is per cent for all bishops,
and cuts of similar percentages for ex-
pense allowance. Little opposition is
expected against this pending program.
Longer Session Faced.
One economy plan, however. which
appeared in grave danger of founder
ing was the move to expedite the con-
ference session to such an extent as to
make adjournment possible by noon
Wednesday instead of running the full
month.
Legislative progress has been so slow
that today the adjournment date was
ordered reconsidered, with all indi-

James Ford Explains
Aims OF Communists

James W. Ford, nominee of the
Communist Party for Vice President
of the United States did not mince
words as he told the aims of the
Communist Party to an audience of
1000 persons Tuesday night at the
Olympic Theatre. Hundreds unable
to get seats stood up along the walls
to hear the Negro apostle of Com
munism boldly declare that the only
remedy for our social and economic
ills was to overthrow the capitalist
system by revolution. Ford startled
many in the audience when with
clenched fist he cried, when | say
revolution, l do not mean peaceful
petition, | mean fight and the she'd
ding of blood" Anything worth
having is worth fighting for" he de-
clared. Ford made an especial plea
for Negroes to join the Communist
Party. He stretched out his hands
in a forceful gesture and without
fumbling for words said, "The Com
munist Party believes in the human
rights of all people. 1t stands for
the political, economic and social
equality of all people-and that in
cludes the Negro" Ford proved to
be a remarkable speaker and was
frequently cheered. He gestured
with both hands in easy and grace
full manner. His eyes sparkled as he
talked. His animation bespoke the
zeal of the crusader whose crusade
is part of himself. Although Ford
is the only Negro ever to be NOM
mated for Vice President of the
United States, and is famous as a
militant leader, only about $50 of
the 1000 persons at the meeting were
Negroes. Ford left Seattle We'd

In Many Upsets

Few of the candidates endorsed by

cially G. o. P. were winners in the
primary election Tuesday. Roland
H. Hartley for governor, w. w. Con-
nor for lieutenant governor and
Ralph Horn for Congress all en-
dorsed by the King County Repub-
lican Club, were defeated for NOM
ination. Several others on the tick
ct put out by the organization also
were defeated. H. R. Cayton, vet
eran politician proved to be better
guesser than the local G. o. P. Club,
as 18 of 81 recommendation he
made in a campaign bulletin to col
ored voters were nominated. The
South End Civic Club non-partisan
organization issued no ticket to col
ored voters. The organization will
probably issue a ticket in the final
election. Clarence r. Anderson,
William Bowman and Fred Woodson
were elected precinct committeeman
in their precincts. N. ]. Graffell,
Roy Sheffield and James Dial were
among those defeated. The Colored
