Future of the
Darker Races
Subject of Lecture at the
Second Church

w. e. Burghart Dubois of New
York, director of publications and
research of the newly organized
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, was
the speaker last night at the Sec
ond church forum. 1.-The Future
of the Darker Races was the title
of his talk. He called for abolition
of the theory or Nordic suprem-
acy and equality of respect among
races.
Although the white race wishes
to stop warfare among it's members
it never shows a tendency to give
up arms for fearing of the rising
colored races, the speaker charged.
He described the various ways he
believes the white people use to
make the colored person feel infe-
rior. The Nordic race has even
believed that its religion is supe-
rior to that of the colored race,
thespeaker said.
The colored races have a pro-
found respect for all other colored
races. This scheme of things must
include the white races. also to
make the people of the world live
in harmony. Dubois pointed out.

In various sections of the city
limbs of trees were broken and

utility companies reported no
damage. The shed at the city
yards was used to house asphalt,
a few pieces of machinery and
other minor equipment. Nails,
however. that were stored in the
structure, were sent flying in all
directions into the street and this
served to cause motorists to de-
tour, fearing tire punctures. It
took street department employees
much time to clear the nails away.
In ali sections of the city po-
lice standards directing parking

the streets. Awnings were ripped
from several stores. Private hous-
es with blinds also experienced
much damage. A door on the

for the fire department. One OH

fell in somebody also sent in an
alarm to fire headquarters but
upon arriving at the scene of the

THOMAS LIKELY
TO Get LARGE
PROTEST VOTE
Desire of New Generation to
Build New Party Also
Reflected.
by RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press stan Correspondent

Copyright 1882. by United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE pros
pect of a large vote for Norman
Thomas, the Socialist candidate for
President. is reported in some states
in the United Press national politi-
cal survey.
This is regarded in part as a pro-
test against the two old parties, in
part as a general expression of dis
satisfaction with the economic sltu-
alton, and in part the desire of a
new generation to build new ma
jor party.
Many Thomas supporters. regard
the Republican and Democratic par
ties as two wings of the same eco
nomic school. They believe a new
political vehicle is necessary to es-
pouse policies which now find little
place in the Republican party of
Herbert Hoover, Calvin Coolidge,
Charles G. Dawes and Ogden Mills,
or in the Democratic party Of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Albert G.
Ritchie, Owen D. Young and John
w. Davis.
Some Professors Are Silent
How widespread this feeling is
will not be known until election.
Some protest voters" are excep-
tionally voluble in advertising their
attitude, but others for various rea-
sons outwardly are silent.
Some reports in the United Press
political survey showed sentiment
for Norman Thomas in unexpect-
ed places.
One source reported that in New
York state IAN Oneida county
farmer said a lot of farmers, both
Republican and Democratic, were
going to vote for Thomas" A sim
liar report came from another west
ern New York locality.
Some of those at national Demo-
cratic headquarters here fear that
in close states the Thomas protest
vote seriously may endanger
Roosevelt.
Industrial Centers Asked
One upstate source reports: "sev-
eral liberals-not Socialists-have
said that they would like to vote for
Ihomas as a protest, but won't as
they fear large protest vote of this
KIND would allow Hoover to win"
In Massachusetts, some industrial
workers are talking Thomas, due to
the fact that because of the earlier
Roosevelt-Smith GOODNESS, they re-
FUSED to support the Democratic
candidate. This may be changed to
some extent by Smiths Forthcoming
speaking trip into New England.
In industrial centers, such as
Lawrence, there is, I am informed
SO much of dissatisfaction with
Roosevelt that many Democrats are
said to look favorably On the cam
didacy of Norman Thomas one re-
port stated.
Large Vote Is Predicted
'On the other hand many of
these mill workers are irish
Catholics, and it is not regarded
likely that they actually will vote for
Thomas election day But Thomas
probably will get a fairly decent
vote in Massachusetts, anyway"
Some political experts estimate
that on the basis of the Literary
Digest poll, Thomas may receive
between 100000 and 100000 votes.
He drew 267, APO votes in 1928 and
William z. Foster, of the Workers
party, received 48,770.
Foster is candidate again this
year, but the Literary Digest poll
shows him to be receiving a
negligible vote.
