Bacchanite Club
IN Special Meeting

Bacchanite club held its open
meeting at the Urban League
Community Center to discuss fur
Their the election of the colored
mayor. Many were present who
gave their viewpoints on the sub
ject.
The question was brought up
(Which would benefit the people
more, an honorary mayor or an
active mayor" This was DISCUSSED
at length and finally all were in
favor of an active mayor for all
civic affairs. There will be a cab
met of twelve, appointed 10 assist
and advise the mayor.
The most important point dis
was 10 have a federation
of clubs and organizations to come
together and organize as one to
work and make plans for this ell
ection. By doing this, we will all
work together as one pull toget-
her as one to work and make
plans for thos election. By doing
this, we will all work together as
one, pull together as one, and
and stand united. This can be done
only through united efforts, which
seem so far fetched where our
race is concerned as a whole.
However, with the combined eff
fortl of "a we'll equipped cabinet
wonderful strides can be made to-
ward a group of outstanding
young people. By outstanding, we
mean a group who are able to
grasp the situation at hand and
cope with present affairs.
We urge all clubs and organiza-
tions to send in candidates for ma
yor. Registration will be at 2314h

Marking a new departure in the
history of the Negro in American
politics, DIR. G. B. Powell has con-
tributed 5000, opening the Colored
Roosevelt fund, which he is initia-
ting to help re-elect President
Roosevelt.
In making the contribution DIR.
Powell said he is doing it from un-
selfish motives, and out of a sense
of appreciation of the good the
Roosevelt Administration has done
the country at large and the col
cred citizens in particular. He be-
lieves there are thousands of Ne
groes throughout the country who
feel as he does about the Roosevelt
Administration, and decided to pro-
vide an opportunity for them to
show their appreciation for the
President and his efforts for Am
erica.
"SiRce emancipation" said
DIR. Powell, "the record of the
Negro in politics has been lar
gely that of a recipient of ia
vOrs, and not that of a cOntri-
butor or a donor. But today we
have an administration that
has done enough for the aver-
age citizen-for the forgotten
man'-fOr him to show his APP
probation, even if we can give
no more than one dollar. There
are thousands, however, who
can and l believe will give $25,
$50 and even hundreds of dol
lars. As Congressman Mitchell
