FARLEY TAKES
PARTY OUT
OF RED
Convention Bid, Jack
son Dinners Net
100000
BY GEOSGE r. HOLMES

The Democrats who came to
town two days ago broke and
$400, 900 in debt departed today
about that much richer and in a
militant frame Of mind after Sc
Letting Philadelphia as the site
for the national convention on
June %.
The enormous deficit which has
been hanging over their heads
since the AL Smith campaign Of
'28 can be cleared up as a result
Of this weeks activities. They ex.
pect to realize approximately
100000 from the Jackson din
nerS, perhaps more, and Philadel-
phia tossed an equal amount into
the pot to get the convention.
The national committee, with
Chairman Jim Farley in the role
Of auctioneer, literally placed the
convention on the auction block,
with Philadelphia, Chicago, and
San Francisco all bidding. Each
offered initially $150,000.
Preferred Chicago
A majority of the committee
and Farley himself wanted to go
back to Chicago for sentimental
and other reasons, but when the
poker.playing Philadelphians
raised the ante to 100000 and
other considerations the Chi
cagoans dropped out.
San Francisco, bidding through
Senator William G. McAdoo. was
at no time seriously considered,
although McAdoo said he would
meet the Philadelphia offer.
The Democrats come East for
their convention for the first time
since the fiasco at New York that
resulted in the nomination of
John w. Davis and one of the
worst defeats in the party's his
tory. Since that time the Demo-
Gratis have preferred to go West.
It was not only the money. but
some effective aand high-powered
oratory that swung the decision
to Philadelphia, Gov. George H.
Earle, PennSy1vania's youthful
Democratic governor; and Mrs.
Emma Guffey Miller, national
committeeman, piles AIDED elo-
quently for a Democratic national
convention in the keystone State
as q recognition of what Earle
called "the reawakened Democ-

Philadelphia in November-all
this in State whose name has
been synonymous with Republic
anism for more than half a cen
fury, in a State that furnished the
Republicans with the leadership
Of Cameron, Quay and Penrose.
The bait was held out that a
Democratic national convention
in Pennsylvania would provide
Just the needed push to put Penn.
Sylvania in the Roosevelt column
this year. It was attractive bait.
Also, the idea of nominating their
candidates in the shadow Of the
Liberty Bell and Independence
Hall tickled the sensibilitieS of the
members. At one point Governor
! Earle shouted:
"YOu don't need to go to the
Middle West. After that AAA
decision there is no doubt how
the Middle West is going to
vote in 49,"

squeal as the current goes on.
You can see Orley's face distori
weirdly. There is a snap, a
cracking of leaping current, and
that fat curl of smoke rises again
from the right leg.
Orley'S body lunges against the
straps, hard. You have Elliott's
word for it that the man in the
chair doesn't feel a thing. But
isn't that an expression of utter
agony twisting Orley's features?
The doctors are busy again.
Are the doctors turning green, or
is it the light, or your eyes?

You stumble out and gulp air.

Equol Opportunity in Education
Is Asked for Negro Youth
w. White of NAACP
Addresses Large
Radio Audience

NEW YORK-Declaring that i;
is imperative for Negroes to have
access to all forms of education
or else as a race fall farther and
farther behind in the struggle for
existence" Walter White, N. A. A.
c. p, secretary, told a radio au-
dience over nationwide network
of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn, Friday night that Negro youth
must have equality in education
from the kindergarten through
the graduate and professional
schools.
After citing the gross inequalities
in appropriations for public edu-
cation in the South between schools
for the two races, Mr. White said:
Negro and white americans,
acting through the agency of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, are
in the midst of frontal attack up
on these educational inequalities
This attack is being made in the
courts of law and of public opin-
ion"
The speaker then gave a brief
resume of the University of Mary
land case where Donald Gaines
Murray was admitted to the law
school after the n. A. A. C. p.
took his case to the Maryland
courts.
The short terms for Negro
schools, the differences in salary
for Negro and white teachers and
the differences in school buildings
and equipment were scored by Mr..
White as he declared that the as
ISOLATION intended to carry on
campaign against all types of dis
elimination in education
The broadcast from 700 to Ills
o. m, r. S. T., served to announce
the fall and winter program of
the youth councils and college
chapters Of the ~ A. A. c. p. who,
on November II, are having mass
meetings in more than twenty cit
les to bring the question of educa-
tional inequalities before the young
people and adults of the country.
The nationwide mass meetings are
being directed by Edward Law
renee of Brooklyn, a member of the
Brooklyn n. A. A. c. p. Youth
Council. Clyde Barrie, popular
baritone on c. B. S. programs,
sang two songs in the broadcast.

VOTE DOES not MEAN Race BELONGS TO DES SAYS NAACP
Ark. 'Peonage Stamp
Under u. S. Scrutiny

Washington, ID. C.-(ANPP)-
Postal officials here have been ask
ed by IT, S. District Attorney Fred
IsgFig of Little Rock, Ark, to in
vestigate a stamp, depicting two
chained figures and a printed plea
to lend peonage" in Arkansas, and
see if is is in violation of the postal
regulations
District Attorney Isgrig said the
promoters of the stamp were the
Workers Defense League of New
York and the Farmers Union,
whose circulars give the informa-
ton that the money taken in
through sale of the stamps will be
used to combat peonage in Arkan-
sas. The d. A. said prospective
customers were led to believe the
funds would be used to help the
government prosecute Paul ID.
Preacher, Earle, Arkansas sheriff
now under federal indictment for
violation of anti-slavery laws.
Isgrig protested to Chief Postal In
spector X. p. Alrich that use of pri-
vate funds for that purpose was
to law.
The Inspector said the evidence
forwarded by the District Attor-
ney would be investigated and
turned over to Solicitor Karl A.
Crowley for a decision.

HOLD 4 WHITES
ON PEONACE
CHARGES

MacClenny, Fla.-(ANP)-Fol-
lowing the recent quick action by
federal authorities in bringing to
light the infamous Arkansas peon-
age situation in which colored field
hands at the sting of the lash were
forced to work in the cotton fields,
Department of Justice officials this
week arrested four men here
charged with holding two Negro
laborers, in a state of peonage.
These under arrest are Will
knabb, operator of turpentine
still where the colored workers
were said to have been employed;
Early Knabb, son of the operator:
Fred Jones and Edward Hall. The
colored field hands were Arthur
Smith and Ed Baker, who accord
ing to the Federal men, had sought
TO leave the turpentine works to
seek employment elsewhere, and
were prevented from doing so by
Operator Knabb
