figures, the latest obtainable, are

VOTE CALLED
DECISIVE

New York. The 1886 election
offers the Negro voter a greater OPP
portunty than at any time in re-
cent years to influence the cleo
ton, it was declared here Sunday
by Walter White, N. A. A. c. P,
Secretary, in a packed mass meet
ing at Metropolitan Baptist Church
in Harlem.
After surveying the national
scene and recounting the predi-
cament of the Negro, Mr.. White
declared:
"The 1886 presidential election
offers, through a combination OF
circumstances, an unparalleled OPP
portunity to the Negro voter to
utilize his vote in such fashion as
may conceivably determine the
election In seventeen states with
total electoral vote of PSI the
Negro vote holds the balance of
power in any normal or close cleo
ton. When this potential vote is
considered in the light of the par
ty majorities of the 1894, 1923 and
1882 elections and the latest figures
of the Literary Digest, Fortune and
other polls on the Roosevelt poll
cies, it can be realized how great
an opportunity is the Negro vot-
er's to help solve national as well
as his own problems.
ct is of the utmost importance
that the Negro vote this year
should ignore party labels and
support men and measures, which
would lessen the evils from which
the Negro suffers-lynching, re-
lief and job discrimination, dis
reimbursement, unequal apportion-

PHILADELPHIA, January 13.-An-
nouncement was made today by . rep
resentative Of James A. Farley, Demo-
cratic national chairman, that the
liberty bell would be the symbol and
insignia of the party's national con-
yention which meets in Philadelphia
June %.
The announcement was made by
w. Forbes Morgan, secretary of the
national committee, who came to
Philadelphia yesterday for an official
inspection of the Conventional Hall,
together with Col. Edwin A. Halsey,
secretary Of the Senate and sergeant
of the committee, and B. j. Flynn,
assistant to the administrator Of the
Federal Housing Administration.
The Washington party was guided
through the vast area embracing the
Convention Hall, seating more than
13,500, and the Commercial Museum
and Exhibition Hall which adjoin the
Municipal Auditorium, by Mayor S.

agreed to create fictitious losses
through security sales to one another
in 1929.
Raskob intimated the brief, filed
last Friday with the Board OF Tax
Appeals, was timed to appear before
an American Liberty League dinner
January IS, at which Alfred E. Smith
will speak. Both Raskob and Du Pont
are financial hackers Of the league,
which has been assailing New Deal
policies.
Inasmuch as Smith is close friend
of Raskob, the incident aroused in
creased speculation as to what Smith
will say about the administration.
There have been predictions that he
would strike hard at some of its poll
cies.
Transactions Held Within Law.
Declaring the security transactions
in question established losses strictly
within the law, Raskob said:
"One could secure no better Illus
tration of the tyranny which a Gov
ernment bureau can infiict on a
citizen than that presented in the
United States Treasury Department
attack on Mr.. Pierre S. du Pont, IN
which my name is mentioned. and in
which We are both charged with max
ing pretended sales of securities to one
another"
At another point in his statement
he said:
This attack on Mr.. Du Pont is
quite well timed with respect to the
dinner of the American Liberty
League to be given in Washington
next week and strongly emphasizes
the need of work such as the league
Is undertaking If our citizens hope
to avoid losing our constitutional
form of government and instead hav-
ing substituted government Of in
Vulnerable alphabetical bureaus to
dictate the conduct of the daily lives
of each and every one of U.s."
Four Sums cited.
The Government argues that be-
cause of the losses in question and
other incorrect deductions, Du
Points net taxable income for 1929
should be increased in the sums Of
$1,s46,o4s. $51,16s, $S32,s5e and
$64,659."
Raskob said the proceedings are
being pressed by IAN administration
hostile to a citizen honestly opposing
its socialistic policies"
The Liberty League itself continued
its attack on the administration with
a statement saying President Roose-
velt's budget for next year discloses
"a program marked by a riot of ex-
travaganceson every hand"
Congressional Inquiry Asked.
Assailing Roosevelt's interpreta-
tions Of the fiscal situation as mis-
leading and deceitful," the league
called on Congress to investigate "the
entire governmental structure"
The investigation was recommended
with a view to attainment Of the OBJ
jectives pledged in the Democratic
platform Of 1882 and emphasized by
Mr.. Roosevelt in his campaign
speeches"
The league said If any corporation
should offer q statement under the
securities and exchange act "as de-
ceptive and confusing as the Presi-
dents budget message, 1t would oe
prosecuted under the penal secton
Of the statute"
