Janet TourteIIotte
Well Qualified For
State Representative

Friends of Janet Powell Tourtel-
lotte, Republican nominee for State
Representative in the 37th Dis
trict, feel that she is especially
well qualified for the office. She
is a lifelong resident of the dis
trict, daughter of John II, Powell,
who represented the 9th in the
legislature of 1896. She is a pro
duct of the Seattle Public Schools
and the University Of Washington
where she specialized in Philoso-
ply, Sociology and Government.
She is not the candidate of any
special group and is particularly
anxious not to be thought of as a
"woman's" candidate. IT am not
sponsoring any woman's legislation
as SUCH" says Mrs Tourtellotte,
NOR have / any illusions that our
ills are going to be cured by the
'woman's point-of-view.' The only
point-of-view I intend to exercise
is that of an individual and citi-
zen bent on protecting the interests
and, in particular, the purses of
all of us.
ut is obvious from the number
of groups who have already APP
preached the candidates with de-
mards for expenditures from the
state treasury that the next legis-
lature is going to have to hold on
to the public purse strings with
eternal vigilance If we are not to
be saddled with taxes the like Of
which we've never seen. A stingy
legislature probably won't be any
more popular than a stingy man,
but ! think that the 1885 legisla-
ture win just have to make UP its
mind to sacrifice its popularity for
the sake of keeping the state sol
vent

Elder Michaux Still Trying
ToDrive Devil From Harlem

one better Monday night when he
referred to Father Divine as that
H. who calls himself God" He
then explained:
when a man gets that way so
that he calls himself God, he isn't
even a colored man any more, he
is just a n, and even that is
too good for him"
Whites still attend the services
nightly; the seven-piece orchestra
is also jazzing up in the name Of
the Lord, and occasionally Mrs.
Michaux sings some of her favor
tie numbers. Her voice, however,
has not been at its best since her
arrival here; she has a throatiness
which, for those who have not
heard her before. bellies her intro
duction as a "silver-tongued song
bird"
Mrs. Michaux Different
One of the sights which has at
tracted the attention of newspaper
men in connection with Elder and
Mrs. Michaux is that the missus
does not cut any monkey shines"
While other women jump, shout,
and scream, Mrs. Michaux is al
ways the composed, dignified lady,
indulging in nothing more than a
handicap.
While the choir drags along IN
It's long. old-fasfioned grey robes
and caps, Mrs. Michaux dresses up
to the minute in well-fitted gowns
Of satin and other respectable" IA
brics.

SCOTSBORO CASE
AGAIN TAKEN TO
SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON = The so-called
seottsboro case, involving seven
youths charged with the rape Of
two white girls, reached the sup
RENE court of the United States
last Friday.
When the case was before the
supreme court in 1882, the court
reversed the conviction Of the boys
in the courts Of Alabama on the
ground that they were denied the
right Of counsel, with the accust-
omed incident of consultation and
opportunity Of preparation for trial
Counsel for Haywood Patterson,
and Clarence Norris, two of the
seven youths, filed in the supreme
court volumninous records cover
ing their second trials in the Ala
bama courts which again resulted
in their conviction and imposition
Of sentences of death upon them.
The attorneys gave notice that
they win promptly file petitions for
writs Of certionari for the supreme
court to review the decision Of the
Alabama supreme court affirming
conviction of the youths.
The petitions to the supreme
court to review the cases viii be
based upon practically the same
grounds as those urged in the Ala
bama supreme court. There the
defendants asserted they had not
had a fair and impartial trial with
in the meaning of the Fourteenth
Amendment Of the Federal Consti-
tuion.
They contended that their trials
took place in an atmosphere of ex-
cited, tense, and hostile public SEN
timent. Every step from their ar
raignment to the sentence was ac-
companied by the state militia so
as to protect the defendants and
their counsel.
It win also be urged that the de-
PENDANTS were tried before juries
from which qualified members of
their own race were systematically
excluded.

DEPRIEST CALLS
NEGRO VOTING
DEMO. Skunk

NEWARK-So intense was the
personal feeling here when CON-
gresham Oscar DePriest spoke in
behalf of the candidacy Of Senator
Hamilton F. Kean for Congress,
last week, that special officers sha-
dowed the Representative and his
son, Stanton, as a precaution ag-
ainst bodily harm.
On his arrival here, Mr.. DePriest
was met with hostile criticism and
a challenge from the Rev. Edward
simms. prominent spokesman OF
j einocracy, to public debate On
the issues Of the campaign While
pleading with an audience Of about
ESQ persons to vote for Senator
lkean and other party candidates.
Mr.. DePriest remarked that amy
colored person voting Democrat
ic ticket is a skunk"
OBJECTIONS Threatened
The Congressman also spoke In
Elizabeth, Montclair, and Paterson
He is reported to have delivered
an address IN MontcIair, Wednes-
day night, in behalf OF Commits
sioner Mcmahon, a white Demo
cratic leader of that city. This led
to rlImors that Mr.. DePriest was
speaking for pay. AS a result, To-
cal Republicans are threatening to
bolt the entire ticket with the ex-
ception Of the assembly nominee.
j. Mercer Burrell.
In an address before the Afro
American Baptist State. Conven-
ton, at the Mt. Zion Church, on
Thursday, the Congressman attack
ed Communists and Uncle Toms.
He probably would have more dir
ectly attacked his opponents, but
the convention president, the Rev.
J. c. Love, of Montclair, banned
politics and advised Mr.. DePriest
that this is, of course. a religious
gathering and politics have no
place here"
Snubs Regulars
Mr.. DePriest did not speak here
at the meeting scheduled by the
regular Republican organization.
Instead, he spoke at 4S william St.,
political headquarters opened re-
Gently here by Isaac Nutter, of At
lantic City, and Mrs. H. Blanche
Harris, of Newark, both of whom
are understood to be opposed to
the regular organization.
Opposition to the Congressman
appears part of a general opposi-
ticn to expensive out-of-state spea-
kers because of the belief that they
gain more from the campaigns
than the local politicians. Cam
paign cash is conspicuous by its
absence, especially on The Repub-
lican side.
Vann Speech Cancelled
Because of the bitter feelings
within Republican ranks, local De-
mocrats decided Sunday that the
scheduled appearance of Robert L.
yann during the next month would
have a similar effect to the visit
of DePiiest and the affair has been
called off.
Democrats decided not to risk
the popularity of the member Of
the BLACK Cabinet" following the
tura of events caused by DePriest's
visit.

rightly judged that his partner might
