coNNEAUT LAKE, Pa Sept. 10.
Gov. George H. Earle told a Crau-
ford County Democratic rally today
wealthy families formed the back
bone Of opposition to the New Deal
Administration.
Citing figures of a recent survey
to support President Roosevelt's
charge that one third of the nation is
ill-fed, ill-housed and poorly clothed,
the governor said:
They tthe figures) show that 327
wealthy families have an income
greater than the income Of 5000, 600
poorer Americans. 1t is these wealthy
families which form the backbone Of
the desperate opposition to the New
Deal because the New Deal stands
for better distribution of the national
income"

County Unit Ballot System
May Rule Hot Election Fights
Maryland and Georgia Voting Plans
Are in National Spotlight, Due to
Vigor of Party Purge Effort.

/ side Of the city the unit votes Of the
counties range from three to seven
each, depending on population.
In the 1880 census the population
Of Maryland was 1881 ,526, Of which
number 804.874. or almost half, were
Baltimoreans While the city has AZ
unit votes, 1t will be seen that that
number is smaller percentage OF
the total than its percentage of the
population.
Each District Alone.
But Baltimore's AZ votes are not
cast as unit. Each of the six dis
tricts in the city must stand on its
own bottom on primary day. with the
seven votes Of each neighborhood GO
ing to the man who has the major
ity there.
Assuming that q large part Of the
labor vote in Baltimore is pro-New
Deal, Mr.. Lewis probably will poll a
heavy vote in certain parts of the
city, such as the first and sixth dis
tricts. Under the unit system. how
ever, a ma jority, no matter how large
would give him only the unit votes
Of those districts.
OF course, this works both WAYS. 60
that heavy vote for Senator Tydings
on the Eastern Shore or in Southern
Maryland would not help him else
where.
In addition to Baltimore's AZ unit
votes, the voting strength OF other
parts OF the State runs as follows:
Eastern Shore, nine counties with q
total Of "a unit votes; Southern Mary
land. five counties with % votes;
Western Maryland. five counties with
80 votes, and Central Maryland, four
counties with 20 votes
In the convention that will follow
the primary, IS of the 149 unit votes
will be required to win nomination
Tydings supporters are confident he
will run well on the Shore and In
Southern Maryland. Most observer,
have felt Baltimore's six districts viii
be split between Mr.. Tydings and
Mr. Lewis. If Senator Tydings get,
only three Of the Baltimore districts
or 81 votes. and holds the strength

he is believed to have on the Shore
and In Southern Maryland he would
be well on the way toward IS votes
before figuring on Western and Gen.
trail Maryland OF course, II 1t de-
velops that the Presidents trip has
cut into the Tydings lines on the
Shore, and that area should be d.
vided as we'll as the city. then the
outcome might hinge on the carrying
Of one or two counties in some other
part Of the State. And, under the
unit system, a small majority for
one candidate or another might deter
mine the outcome.
First and Second Choice.
II only two candidates were in
the race. under the Maryland law
the one receiving the highest number
OF ballots in county or city dis
tri6 would get the unit vote. But
there is a third man, New Dealer
Arthur E. Hungerford, also running.
which brings into operation a re-
quirement that voters be given the
opportunity to mark a flrst and sec
ond choice on the ballots.
Then, II in q county or city dis
trict no candidate polls q ma jority.
but only q plurality, Of first choice"
votes, the low man is dropped and
his votes are recorded according to
the second choice" indicated by his
supporters. This same process of
dropping the low man Is followed
later in the convention that follows
the primary If no candidate goes into
the convention with majority Of the
l49 unit votes.
There is not as much likelihood OF
the second choice formula becoming
necessary in the senatorial race as
in the fight for the governorship, in
which battle royal is in progress
between Mayor Howard Jackson of
Baltimore, State Attorney General
Herbert r. O'Conor of Baltimore,
State Senator Lansdale G. Sasscer
OF Prince Georges and William S.
Gordy, Jr.. of the Eastern Shore.
Politically minded Marylan nders are
busy with pencil and paper as the
campaign draws to a close going over
the list of unit votes allotted to each
county and making their own fore
casts of how this, or that candidate
could win by carrying this or that
group Of counties. -.
How Districts Figure.
The counties outside Of Baltimore

Dayton Youths Blaze
Way for More Jobs

Yes, it really happened here !!
After years OF dong absolute
~ notnlng towards providing
employment Tor hundreds ol
young men and women who
are being graduated from the
high schools and colleges each
year Dayton has awakened to
a realization that the money
spent by the race for the me-
cessities Of life should also
provide jobs for many persons
who are now idle.
"The Dayton Youth Move
ment,o an organization OF
forward looking young men
and women, started a drive this
week to have Negro clerks en-
ployed in every West Side
business place supported large
ly by Negroes. The movement
was organized several weeks
ago. Many Of the older per-
sons thought the boys" were
a bit radical and endeavored
to discourage them. But youth
is determined and will be
heard. They perfected an Or
ganization with definite objec-
tives and started to work. At
first little attention was paid
to them. Today West Side
Dayton is on fire with the
youth Movement" " Merch-
ants are Fastening to place
Negroes in their stores. Those
who are tardy are being pick
eted. Hundreds of people are
looking on approvingly. Wise
and far-sighted leaders are
backing the youths with sound
advice and financial support.
The drive has developed into
mass movement that will
change the economic status of
West Side.
The picketing is being done
orderly, and although some of
the boys have been threatened,
no retaliation has resulted.
The organization desires a ST
lent but effective protest
against greedy merchants who
grow rich on the Negro's pa
tronare, but are not willing to
give them employment.
The DAYTON Forum extends
congratulations to the officers
and members of the Dayton
Youth Movement. The cause
is iu,t and will win. To the
older people, we say. Back ur
these youngsters. They need
your support"

DAYTON YOUTH
MOVEMENT
MAKES APPEAL
TO WEST SIDE
CONSUMERS

There is an ever growing resent
ment against the ever present pre-
judice SO prevalent between and
within the races. Because of this
state Of affairs, the idea of the youth
movement was conceived and has be-
come campaign. Organization is
the only answer, the solution to all
problems for the betterment of the
present condition. Aside from the
elasticity Of the Civic Rights Bill we
have neither recognition nor repre-
sentation Of the colored district In
the city Of Dayton.
Because of a misdemeanor of .
Negro youth, formerly employed
there, grocer-keeper namely
Blaine. at Fifth and Hawthorne Sts.,
refuses to hire any Negroes in his
store; asserting that they are not
trustworthy. How does he presume
to Judge, by one person, people
who are supporting him? How do
Sawaya's, Gershow's, Kroger's, At
antic and Pacific Tea Co. and any
other business men in the coored
sections of the city, have the au-
dacity to flatly refuse to cooperate
with the people who patronize their
stores? Their attitudes and actions
bespeak that If we are not satisfied
we can go elsewhere. And now,
with their prejudices quite obvious,
we as race, should have the init
ative and the courage to truly go
where our patronage is appreciated.
Though it may seem inconvenient,
momentarily, we will shci'tly find
that one inconvenience has been the
salvation of our race, our purpose
and our children; resulting in moro
consideration, better emnloymen
thus improving living conditions.
Committees of the youth move
ment have contacted officials Of the
chain stores. the Kroger Grocery
stores and the great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Co. There executives
have acknowledged colored employ
ment as a grand idea, but they ask,
What will yo udo about it, They
are not worried that anything viii
be done about it. No doubt it is
their theory that the Negro will not
strengthen any organization by CO..
operation, that he is so easily cor
rupted by q few dollars, so if any
pressure is brought, or any strength
is shown, they may think they can
donate monetary sum and each
store in it's turn will be exempt from
a boycott. Perhaps these men, as
well as the ronulace, do not know
that we are acting on an humani-
tartan and Necessary impulse. Not
mercenary one. ANY member of the
council Of the youth movement will
have credentials to prove his asso--
ciation. Ari 49,
We are asking encouragement in
the manner we have suggested--boy-
colt all stores who will not hire one

Three-ffths Of our people can get

children, three Of whom have shoes,

AIpha's New Jeweler

1t was pleasant to note in the last
issue Of The Sphinx, official organ OF
the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, that
by formal vote, q Negro jeweier had
been appointed official jeweler of the
organization. The fortunate recipi-
ent Of the contract is the Lover
ture company of New York, headed
by Kenneth Lloyd Bright, Howard
man.
The appointment of Mr.. Bright's
company follows the naming of a
Negro as official ieWeler Of the Al
pha Kappa Alpha sorority last year !;
and it may now be expected that
her Negro organizations, when they
have work in the jewelry line, such
as pms, buttons. banners, and any
insignia, will give the work which
is now an appreciable national VOL
ume in the Negro group, to Negro
business concerns.
We commend Alpha Phi Alpha for
taking this step, and because Of the
record of Mr. Bright in turning out
satisfactory orders of class pins for
numerous schools, and of service pins
for such highly successful business
organization as the Afro-American
company of Baltimore, we feel su.e
that only satisfaction will come from
the Alpha appointment.

ARGUMENTS

(By William Henry Huff for AMP
Arguments are terrible things
That can't be understood;
Peace and love they put to wings
They never have done good.
Arguments are but the tools
With which to wreck the home;
Found in use by sordid fools
Wherever one may roam.

Arguments engender hate
And often an affray.
After which it IS too late
For love has burned away.
Arguments are not Of God,
But of the evil one;
Many lie beneath the sod
Because they were begun.
