LET'S STOP STAGING MOCK ELECTIONS

From time to time, many sober-mnded citizens IN our
community haze voiced their disgust at the growing in
clnaton among Of people to conduct so-called
unofficial mayoralty elections
OF course such elections in themselves are harmless
and i'm some instances may temporarily TO add
slight increase to circulation of sponsoring paper; but in
eyes other racial groups well in the opinion of
thought il members Of our own race, these makebeeve
elections tend to reflect upon the and brand us as
puerlc
There arc Negro towns, such as Mound Bayou,
Mississippi and Bocy. Oklahoma that boast real Negro
MAYORS There likewise other cities and states in which
lse have duly elected Negro ofhce-hoders.
Why. then. should continue TO conduct mock
"mavoray election in cities where it at present I'M
possible real Negro mayor It would be far wis
or for MS follow the example of other minority groups
hy cooperating the effort register sufficient num-
her Of voters group elect Negroes to real public
offices and stop PLAYING Mother Goose games and stag
ing make-believe elections
As result Of Of the recent unofficial mayoral-
~ elections around Detroit, and others that are
being contemplated sections Of this Metropolis
IAN nany white citizens are laughing at US lhey
seem think clowns. Let's get down g business
and begin 70 use real ballots
Whoever heard Of the Polish Jewish. German,
Italian other minority groups Detroit staging an I'M
official mayorav election? They are 90 busy cccflng
members their group to real public offices That Is what
should do.

ANIMATED ELECTION AT BIG
OAK SCHOOL

There was an animated school
election in District No. 4, two and
one-half miles south of this town
on Saturday, which was attended
by nearly or quite all the voters.
A new school house was built last
year, and a personal feeling over
something in the adjustment in the
accounts had arrayed the voters in
two factions. David Boggs was
nominated as a compromise can
didate for the clerkship and elect
ed, the commissioners being Gam
aliel Garrison and John H. Short.
Samuel S. Griffin has been clerk
of this district without a break for
over twenty years. The district
has been noted for good schools,
Notwithstanding they can hardly
muster half dozen boys, the chill
0ren of school age being nearly all
girls. There are an unusual num-
ber of young farmers in the dis
trict.
