Daily Newspapers Give
False Report OF Attack
By Colored Youths

Daily newspapers in their issue
Monday, misrepresented and exag-
gerated an attack by colored youths
on a white man Sunday night in the
East Madison district. Following
their usual custom, the newspapers
portrayed the white man as a de-
fender of white women, when as a
matter of fact, he was disorderly and
drunk. Harry Goodpasture, white
employee of the State Highway de-
partment was full of bad liquor SUM-
day night and when he saw four COL
ored youths, neither of whom were
IS years old talking to two white
girls, he became incensed and abu-
sive, wanting to know, "What mig
gers were doing talking to white
girls" The boys resented Goodpas-
lures remarks and told him they
would beat up on him if he didn't
shut up. Goodpasture retreated in
the drug store at list and East
Madison St., and H. c.. Poff, white
friend tried to get him to go home.
Goodpasture shortly afterwards start
ed for his home and met the colored
boys on 21st Avenue. They exchang-
ed words and Goodpasture started to
run. The boys overlook him and
beat him. One of the boys used a
pen knife, stabbing Goodpasture in
the side and back. He was taken to
the city Jail where his wounds were
treated and he was booked as drunk
under an assumed name. Goodpas-
ture was released Monday evening.
Although he knows the boys attack
ing him, he said he would not prose-
cute.

panions, was found guilty on for
gerry charge Tuesday by a jury in
Judge Bachelors court and will be
sentenced Friday. Harry Lucas,
white, who essayed to be manager
for Perry told the court they forged
several checks and passed them to
raise the money to finance a cam
paign to put Perry in the forefront
of heavyweight boxers. Lucas said
he believed he could have developed
Perry into a champion of the world
if they hadn't been arrested. Perry
had very little to say with the excep-
ton that Lucas was his manager and
Hadsell Brumbough, the other white
defendant was his trainer.

BAPTIST PAPER GIVES
ROOSEVELT APPROVAL
Temperance Views Held Acceptable
j While Hoover's Repeal Plan
l. Is Criticized.

GREENVIILE, S. c., September H.
The Baptist Courier, organ Of 100000
Baptists in this State, while still op-
posed to any change in existing prohi-
nition laws. says in its current issue
that the temperance views of Gov
Franklin D. Roosevelt 'are acceptable
to all"
In the same editorial, the paper says
that President HO0Ver'S acceptance
speech, in its prohibition part, was un-
acceptable to many prohibitionists. His
party platform on this subject is unac-
ceptable and Mr.. Hoover went beyond
his own platform"
Referring to Roosevelt's Sea Girt.
N. j., speech, the Courier says, "Of
course, all Of us agree with Mr.. Roose-
thority ought to work for temper
ance.
"Mr. Roosevelt, In this very speech,
advocates that the liquor trade should
be controlled by law. 1t Is true that he
wants it controlled by State law rather
than national law. But State law is
law. ss-
Mr.. Roosevelt quotes from a letter
of Henry Clay to the effect that the
temperance movement Of his day will
destroy itself whenever it resorts to
coercion or mixes in the politics of the
country This dictum applies to the
State as well as to the Nation; and it
would as certainly destroy Mr.. Roose-
velts State law as it would the prohi-
biuion of the eighteenth amend
Any argument based on this prin-
ciple that would destroy national pro-
hibition would destroy all prohibition;
and It IS our humble opinion that this
Is exactly what those who are fighting

Hoover Endorsed and Retention of
All Prohibition Laws Is
Urged.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW HAVEN, Conn, September IT,.
An Independent Republican party, in
dorsing President Hoover and asking for
retention of all prohibition laws, was
organized today at a convention called
to nominate a State ticket
Prof. Milton Conover. Yale political
scientist, was nominated for United
States Senator without opposition. He
will oppose Senator Hiram Bingham
Republican, and Representative Angus
tine Lonergan, Democrat. both of whom
are announced advocates of prohibition
repeal.
"Mr Conover is as aggressive dry as
Mr.. Bingham Is yet" said Prof Irving
Fisher. noted economist, in a nominal
ing speech.
The convention chose the same pres
idential electors as those on the Re-
publican ticket. despite the fact that
the electors notified the secretary of
State yesterday they would not allow
their names to be placed on both tickets.
Leaders Of the new party asserted the
law would require them to serve.
Levitt, a former Brooklyn law pro-
fesSor, was nominated for Governor, and
N. B. Stone of New Haven, president Of
a business college, for Congressman at
large.
The platform declaration on prohibi-
tion was as follows:
I'VE regard alcoholic liquor as
harmful, habit-forming drug whose use
should be discouraged by personal ex-
ample, by social influence and by gov
ernmental action.
I'VE favor the retention Of the eight
eenth amendment, the Volstead act and
the liquor enforcement laws Of the State
of Connecticut. We blame the present
corruption upon those who are trying to
change the present law by violating 1t"

HIGH POINT, N. c.. September IT..
Gov. o. Max Gardner today pictured
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic pres
idential nominee, as man who has
the enemy on the run," in addressing
a Democratic rally here.
Roosevelt gives no ground before
attack" said the Governor. Like An
drew Jackson. he goes into action. He
takes the offensive. and today he has
the enemy on the run.
His only weapons are his clean rec
ord and the Democratic platform 1t
is fight to the finish and every man
in this country who is attempting to
prosper at the expense of some other
man is dead against Roosevelt"
Gardner said the same weapons used
against Woodrow Wilson" are being
used against Roosevelt
They call him a dangerous man and
demagogue," he declared. Roosevelt
is dangerous to no man and no business
unless that man and that business Is
dangerous to the welfare and happiness
of the American people These people
and their interest are simply afraid of
the justice of Roosevelt.
IT there ever was a man who should
be proud of the enemies he has made
that man should be Franklin Roose-
velt."
