League Answers
Ed. Halls Attack
On VIM. Mahoney

We, the members of the Negro
Nonpartisan league, IN meeting as
sembled, feel it our duty to reply to
the malicious and false statement
made by Mr.. Ed S. Hall in the issue
of the TWIN CITY HERALD of
April 23rd relative to a statement
made by Mr.. VIM. Mahoney in his
address to above organization at the
Halle @. Brown Community House,
April 18th.
Mr.. Hall in his desperate attempt
to distort and discredit the organiza-
ton, which is one of his many spe-
cialties in dealing with civic matters,
takes the position that "pork chops"
words which were used in the figura-
tive term by Mr.. Mahoney, as ex-
tremely offensive.
We, the members of the league,
concur with Mr.. Hall inasmueh as
Mr.. Hall has developed faculty Of
getting as many Pork Chops for him.
self in his exalted capacity as lead
er of the downtroden Negro, usually
at the painful expense of the working
class Negro.
The Bostonians take great pride in
the fact that they originated the
Brown Bread and the Baked Bean, the
Scandinavians admire the Lutefisk
the Germans like Limburger Cheese
so we, the members of the league, see
no reason to take exception to Mr.
Mahoney's reference to Pork Chops
when the question of food is para
mount to all other considerations al
this time.
Mr.. Hall in his present dilemma be
cause the advent of the Negro Non
| partisan league is an expression o.
progressive political action of the new
Negro, our aim is to completely elimi
nate sinister influences such as Mr.
Hall, from political activities among
our group and institute clean pofiti
cal cooperation to the advantage o
the masses.
To this we feel that we have made
a wise selection in our slate of candi
dates because they are in harmon.
and sympathy with problems that ar,
of particular Importance to the Negro
