REPUBLICANS
CONSIDERABLE
Of RACE VOTER
BY BERT cuMsY

The Republican Party, the great
est and most liberal political par.
ty in this country, following the
political PHILOSOPHERS of the ones
who founded it, has brought into
the party's national organization
ycung Negroes from all over the
country.
These young Negro men and
women are brought into the ma
tional organization, not to sell their
political rights and expression to
a group Of political exploiters,
whose aim is to undermine the very
principles of orderly government
and constitutional rights Of the
people, but to take their places side
by side with older Republicans of
both Races, and aid the party Of
human rights and liberties to vic
tory in November.
There is no Jim Crowism in this
national set-up. In the Railway
Exchange Building, on the corner
of Michigin Blvd. and jackson
Street in Chicago's loop, which
houses the Republican Nationas
Committee and the Republican Ma
tional Headquarters, men and wo-
men of all colors and creeds work
together in noticeably fine har-
mony.
The Race men and women who
were selected last week by Chair
man John Hamilton of the Nation
al Committee, stand out as an in
spiration to young Negro Repub-
licans in and out of the national
organization. Their contributions
to the Republican Party and to
their country over a long period
of years, justify and qualify them
for this needed leadership at q
time when the Negroes political
freedom is being seriously threat
ened by group of political ex-
ploiters, who would have the Ne
gro believe that he can get some
thing for nothing and enjoy health
and prosperity on the Federal re-
lief rolls.
With such nationally known Re
publican leaders as Roscoe Conk-
ling Simmons, Chairman of the
Speakers Bureau, and the COPS
most eloquent spokesman, in and
out of season; Robert r. Church,
Tennessee's courageous statesman;
Perry w. Howard, National Com
mitteeman of Mississippi; DR.. L. X.
Williams, President of the National
Baptist Convention, Inc; Robert ).
Abbott, Editor and Publisher OF
The Chicago Defender, and Chair
man of the Public Relations Bu-
reau, the Republican National
Committee, and other prominent
leaders from practically every state
in the Union, young Race men and
women in the organization are in
spired to aid in the party great
cause.

State Supreme court. His life has
been busy one and the stepping
stones he has used ia arriving at
the high post he now holds has
provided contacts which would en-
able him to approach the mooted
points before him in a humane and
intelligent way that would make
it possible for him to garner the
truth, equity and justice of the
cause pending. Our courts need to
be humanized. John E. Belcher has
the background for that.

Rift in Basket Squad.

THREE others, Carl Vinciquerra of

Chester Rutecki, welterweight, and
Arthur Oliver, heavyweight, both of
Chicago, were eliminated in the first
two rounds.
Only Poland was standing in the
way Of the Western basket ball teams,
and they were apparently destined to
meet a sad fate at the hands of the
Canadian team, which looked good yes
terday in beating Uruguay, 1921.
Coach Jim Needles of Los Angeles
had O talk with the squad after yes
terday's game, in which the Yankees
seemingly were dissatisfied with their
1928 victory over the Philippines.
He discovered that the squad, made
I'D almost exclusively of the members
of the Mcpherson, Kans.. Oilers and
the Hollywood Universals, preferred
to play as units instead of in mixed
groups, as they did yesterday.
Gene Johnson, assistant United
States coach and originally the coach
Of the Mcpherson team, was known to
prefer having the team work as a
unit.
Coach Needles held the discussion
privately and was non -committal later.
One player said, however, that they
had decided to keep on putting mem
bers Of both teams on the floor at the
same time for today's game with
Mexico.

Germans Are Strongest.

THE European champions whipped
Italy and Canada decisively in
6:076 and appear capable of slicing
several seconds off the mark.
The Swiss eight, which nosed out
Germany by tenth of second in
6:084, also advanced to the finals.
There was scant chance, however,
that the Americans would place in
any of the remaining six rowing
events. Sculler Dan Barrow, jr.. of
Philadelphia came through hand
somely yesterday in the consolation
and qualified for the semi finals,
while Harvard's four, with coxswain,
hoped to make their comeback today
in the "repechage."
On the whole, the Germans have
the strongest navy, and on the basis
of preliminary results appear certain
to carry away the unoffcial team title,
which the Americans have won for the
last two Olympiads.

British Under Strain.

THE British also were under the
record in 6:o21, but they had to
row again today in guest Of place
! in the finals, and the extra strain
| is likely to cook their chances Of
pressing the Americans so closely
| again.
The Americans, though worried by
the condition of Don Hume of Olym-
pia, Wash, stroke of the crew, not yet
recovered from a severe cold and still
pounds underweight at l58, are
regarded as strong favorites to take
the premier rowing title tomorrow
with the Europeans fighting it out
for the other six Olympic gold medals.
Hume virtually collapsed after the
hard race yesterday. but recovered
and assured Coach AL Ulbrickson that
he would be ready to do 1t all over
again and if necessary sustain the
same high beat in the final.
Coach Ulbrickson frankly was sur
prised by the class shown in the three
eight-oared trials, wherein five crews
lowered the Olympic mark of 6:032 set
by the Californians and the British
in 1928.
'sUnder the circumstances, we were
pretty lucky to come through that
first test and get that extra day Of
rest" he said.
Unless the British had unusual
stamina in addition to SUFFICIENT speed
to pass the last qualifying test in to-
days "repechage." the Hungarians
are likely to give the Americans their
toughest race.

~ OSTON, August 13.-Some-
x what sobered by the Yankees
in their finale but still able
- to show a good weeks record,
the Nationals rested here today,
preparatory to winding up their cur
rent Eastern jaunt with the Red
Sox. After playing the ponies at
Suffolk today the Griffs will play
Boston tomorrow and Saturday in
single games, and then tackle the
Platinum Hose in a double header ON
Sunday.
Without too much effort, a fair
amount Of optimism can be regis
tered concerning the future ct the
Nationals. They are only two games
behind the fifth-place Red Soy, for
one thing, and winning two out of
three games from the Yanks-espe-
cially in New York-is not exactly a
sign of weakness.
For another thing. Boston's Back
Bay millionaires never have been
especially tough for the Griffmen.
Even if the Washingtons haven't
played the Sox much since the YAM
KEGS went into their great tailspin,
they still are able to show a record
Of seven victories in 13 games so far.
Then, again, it was at the expense
Of the Red Sox that Washington be-
gan its comeback" last week. After
dropping 9 out of 10 games, including
two tilts to the Athletics, the Mats
