NEWARK, N. j., May l9.-The New
Jersey primaries today brought Gov.
Alf M. Landon Of Kansas opposite
Senator William z. Borah of Idaho In
their first State wide contest for Re
publican presidential preference.
Landon was supported by the State
Republican organization.
President Roosevelt was assured all
80 convention voted in the Democratic
primary because the State organiza-
tion's slate was unopposed.
All five candidates for four places as
delegates-at-large to the Republican
convention are pledged to Landon.
There are Landon candidates in l3 Of
the IA congressional districts. There
are Borah candidates in IL districts.
Friends have entered both in the
preferential primary, but the outcome
will not be binding on the delegates
In the Democratic preferential primary
Col. Henry Breckenridge, legal adviser
to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, as the
sole entrant, can be beaten only by q
wTite-in vote.
Interest, however, was centered more
in the so-called Jersey justice" fight
between Gov Harold G. Hoffman and
Franklin w. Fort than in the presiden-
tial voting.
Although Fort. charging the Gov
ernor unfit to represent the party be-
cause of his Intervention in the Haupt-
mann case, made the fight to keep
Hoffman out. both may be elected
delegates.
Heavy voting in the Republican
boxes was expected as a result of the
bitter Hoffman-Fort campaign.
The two carried on their fight to the
last minute, Hoffman arranging to
speak twice over the radio today, after
he had voted in South Amboy.
He knocked down a questioner who
aroused his resentment before a speech
in New York last night.
In an address he said 'Salome Fort"
asked for his head on a silver
platter" but his guess was that to-
morrow morning Fort would put the
borrowed robes of purity and justice
back in the moth balls"
Fort, speaking in his home town
of East Orange, said:

Weather Changes
Increase Traffice
Accident r q t e

Strange as it may seem, acct
dent frequency increases with the
change of weather. particularly
when the weather changes from
.air to rain. The first few NOM
ents of rain seem to be the most
dangerous. We feel that this in
crease is due to the fact that mo-
florists fail to take into considera-
ton that slightly wet pavement is
far more dangerous than either
wet or dry pavement. We must
consider too, that actions of drivers
are largely controlled by habits,
they continue TO drive at the same
speed as they did prior to the rain.
Motorists should take into con-
sideration that rain decreases Wis
ibility. and also effects the actions
of pedestrians. Pedestrians who
would normally wait for the green
light, or go to the corner to cross
the street, become impatient and
AXE chances they would otherwise
shun. Quite often they put their
head down or bury their head in
an umbrella and dash across the
street. We feel the pedestrian
should be given some considera-
ton because they lack the shelter
the automobile affords the driver.
We are now entering the rainy
season of the year, and believe
many accidents can be avoided If
these facts are kept in mind.
Submitted for publication by the
First Precinct Safety Officers of
the Detroit Police Department.

tered with wet leaves may cause
your car to skid, so it is we'll to
drive with extreme caution when
driving through residential sec
tions where trees are more num-
erous.

Just A
w r 4
Or So
(By "Z")

The first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November is the day
designated as General Election
Day in most Of the States and Ter
ritories. 1t is on that day that
those who are registered voters
will have the privilege of exercis-
ing their right to vote. The COM
ing election is attracting more at
tention than any election has for
some little time. All parties are
wrangling for the much needed
Negro vote. The subject of the
Negro ballot has attracted the at
tention of several noted political
commentators: Walter Lippman
and Frank r. Kent have devoted
column space to the Negro and his
vote. The subject has attracted
Kent twice in the last few months.
Only last week he was headed "Ne-
groes and the Election" very re-
Gently Jay G. Hayden came out in
the Detroit News with column
captioned Negro Vote Bagged Bv
Relief Program According to Mr..
Kent, in his last article, the field
force Of the New Deal campaign
strategists would be composed Of
the farmers and workers. That
was the plan about a year ago.
Since that time, despite the AAA
checks paid to the farmers for not
growing. the farmers have had
time to think; hence, the farmer
worker alliance went the way Of
all bad political ideas. The BRASS
hats, not to be outwitted, imme-
/ diatoly began concentrating on a
combination composed Of the union
/ labor and the Negro voters. Prac-
teal politicians, according to Mr..
Kent, think the last combination
10 be Of more advantage Why?
Because until recently, the bull,
of the Negro vote always went to
the Republicans; a shift to the
Democratic side will make those
same-votes count double Then
too, the bulk Of voting Negroes are
concentrated in the doubtful states
NJ tho North, which are very I'm
nortant as far as electoral votes
are concerned He points out tina
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1936-11-07

in New York, Penn. Illinois, Ohio,
Michigan, and Indiana there is a
combined strength of approximate
ly 1,194, 900 registered Negro voters.
The first four states each have
100000 or over. Indiana is at the
bottom Of the list with $4,000. If
those votes are swingable, and
that seems to be the argument, they
constitute the balance of power in
those states. The significance Of
that can be better understood, pro-
badly, when it is remembered that
it takes only 266 electoral votes
to put a candidate in the White
house-In the states referred to
there is a total of III electoral
votes. Although the fight for the
Negro vote extends to wherever
the Negro is able to vote, the big
battle ground is in the six doubt
full states. Remember Michigan is
one of the states.
The fact that the politicians have
Jesse Owens and Joe Louis lined
up to bag votes is another sign
of the Importance attached to the
vote of the Negro Whether or not
either of them knows anything 1t
bout politics, or whether or not
either of them can bag" votes,
are two other questions. If they
were not where they are in their
respective athletic fields, would
either of the parties bother with
them?
The Republicans are using the
southern opposition to anti-lynch-
ing legislation in an effort to re-
capture lost prestige with the Ne
gro. The Democrats say that the
Republicans will halt relief and
leave the needy to starve in the
gutter. Every time one party
swings a new bogus argument, the
other party counters with one that
it thinks is just a little bit better.
Neither party will come out and
make a manly statement concern
ing its attitude and intention re-
garding the Negro. No, not at all!
Each and every statement that is
made for the purpose of encourage
ing the hopes of the Negro is
squeezed out by some statement or
promise of the other party. Mel
Their party wants to, and probably
will not, give one jot or little more
than absolutely is necessary to get
the needed votes. And the diff
Guilty will never be solved until the
Negro vote is held together If
that ever eventuates the Negro Vot-
ers could force either major party
to dance or jump over any fence.
