The people of the nation
have spoken. President Roose-
welt has been returned to
office by an unprecedented
majority. The annals of
American political history
can furnish no such parallel.
Never before has a presi-
dent seeking reelection been
so maligned. Never before,
however, has a president
seeking a second term been
SO decisively victorious. In
Illinois and Chicago, a hope
full, but never-to-be- forgotten
Republican leadership made a
desperate fight to capture
some offices, with the power

THE NEGRO PAPERS
HAD THEIR SAY.
slsusiIasnInullsnInsnsiInIusiu

HAD THEIR SAY.
Negro papers winch were
only able to keep their doors
open by ROosevelt's help and
his party and which were &C
corded every consideration
reasonable, were first to turn
their backs on the men and
the party that had done for
them. Why? You might think
about it. Some of these papers
were as vicious as the white
papers in their denunciatiOn
of the Roosevelt administra-
ton and of the party he
heads. Not a single one of the
candidates these papers sup
ported won an office and that
is the public estimate of their
influence and sincerity. All
of this means that the public
is looking for and has found
new leaders, new friends, be-
cause it is convinced that
it has been misled. S o m e
of these papers of color went
so far out of line, that Con-
gresham Mitchell is about to
investigate so that the truth
may be presented to the pub
lie. "Truth crushed to earth,
shall rise again."
The truth now is rising
again, and look out you who
crushed it.
T h e Metropolitan News
and it's entire staff is proud
of the fact that they perform
ed what they felt was their
duty in bringing to its read
ers the truth based upon the
facts. This paper stated that
the COlOred man would have
to look to some other party
for it's future. 1t also stated
that we had followed the Re-
publican Party for more than
half a century and we have
lost ground, we have gone
back instead of forward. We
have opened our eyes; we can
see the thing as it is and not
as they would have us see it;
WE WILL NOW BELIEVE
THE TRUTH.

makes sweeping victory of all
candidates. The question was
asked, when would the people
believe the truth? If you look
at the results of this election,
you will see that the people
Gid believe and act on the
truth. We experienced many
strange and unheard of tao
tics in the windup. We were
told that Roosevelt was a
communist; that he was a
dictator; that he was mad and
that he was leading this coun-
try to destruction. Al Smith,
Colby, Reed, Ely, Davis and
many other disappointed and
disgruntals kept the radios
hot with all kinds of charges.
Charges which they did not
believe and which they knew
were not true. The people
said NO, those things are not
true and this is the time we
shall believe the truth, and
act on the truth alone. We
want a man who is a friend,
true and tried; we want a
man who believes in America
first and last; we want a man
who has the courage to tell
the evil forces of orderly
government that he will be
their master; we want a man
who is brave enough to face
an issue; we want a man with
a HEART as well as mind,
in short, we want ROOSE-
WELT!
THE DAILY
PAPERS
Cur great daily newspapers
which had pursued policy
of closing their eyes to any
prejudice, discrimination and
segregation heretofore, came
out with pictures of black
folks and with instances of
injustice to them, long past,
in the South. What did these
papers do or say when the
acts complained of now, real
ly happened? N o THIN G.!
But some of our black folks
fell for it and endeav0red to
destroy their friends an d
their government as well.
Well, what do they say
now? Ask them, we can not.
Some of these friendly news
papers were first to call at
tentiOn to the voting public
that there were two Negroes
on the Republican ticket. Do

But another and just as feasible sug-
Qestion Is that 1t Is connected with
German word, ''traam,' meaning
balk or beam. This was applied as
long ago as the Sixteenth century TO
trucks used In coal mines, which ran
on long wooden beams as rails.
