AFTER THE ELECTION, WHAT?

At the present time, in the heat of the political
campaign of people are becoming fired
with partisan zeal that old friendships are being
broken, family riffs made, and bitter words spoken
in anger to political opponents, which will be deep
ly regretted after November 3.
Why should any of us lose our heads and start
throwing mud and circulating character assassinat
ing literature, in effort to crush political oppo-.
nents We shall still have need for friends and pub
lie good wall, after the campaign is Whether
the political parties and candidates support, hap
pen to win lose, shall still find it necessary af-
ter November 3, to work for livelihood, wage
earners, business professional men and women.
Throughout the campaign, the Tribune has re-
Trained from participating in any attempts to assass
nate the character of candidates of any political af
filiaton, and has turned down all advertisement of
this nature.
Because of our broad policy and spirit of justice
to ALL we have been deluged with advertisements
from candidates of all parties We have helped our
many readers all sides of the political picture
without bias bigory and this policy has made the
Tribune the outstanding Negro advertising medium
in Michigan. We grateful alike to our readers
and advertisers.

BISHOP JONES
CO M ES OUT
FOR LANDON

COLUMBUS, Ohio-Although he
was frankly dissatisfied with the
treatment of the Negro accorded
by the last Republican administra-
ton, Bishop Robert f. Jones of
Columbus area of the NJ. E. church
has, after carefully investigating
the record of Governor Landon of
Kansas, come out intellectually
with an endorsement of the Repub
lican presidential nominee.
while at no time have I been
an active participant in the cam
paign, l have been sympathetic to-
ward Mr. Landon," asserted the
acted prelate" | was sympathetic
toward Mr.. Landon long before he
was nominated as l have noticed
some of the things that came out of
Kansas with reference to his atti-
tude toward Negroes.
Recently | wrote my district
superintendent, the Rev. III. w.
James, who covers what is known
as the Topeka district, and I re-
ceived an unequivocal endorsement
of Mr.. Landon and very fine ref
erence to his attitude toward the
Negro as manifested in his home
town. His report and those of o.
theirs convince me of the Kansas
governors fitness for the presi
dency."

Landon's Attitude
Toward The Negro
(By JAY LAMB)

Seventy-six years ago this fall
a poor, plain man from the plains
of a typical prairie state fought
his way to the White House, to
bring freedom and opportunity to
the Negroes of America. That
man was Abraham Lincoln Of Illi-
nois. He slashed the letters of
slavery. He gave the Negro the
vote.
Today, another man from a ty-
pical prairie state-a state in which
many a bloody battle was fought
to make It Southern slave state
knocks at the door of the White
House. This man, Governor AL
fred M. Landon of Kansas, was
born in the very shadow of the
battlefield of Gettysburg, the de-
cisive battle of the Civil War, rear
