The Political Outlook
Continued from Page ~

Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan
are the hard nuts that the Republi-
cans will have to crack Most of these
states have elected COP. Governors
since the second Roosevelt regime
came into power. All of them have
strong Democratic delegations in Con
gress. The race vote in those states
is tremendous. Oscar DePriest, in
Illinois, Mrs. Lethia Fleming, in Ohio,
Cornelius Richardson, in Indiana and
the RoXborough brothers in Michigan,
all Republican race leaders, WELD a
powerful political influence. Ohio, as
in the past, is going to play a promi-
nent part in the 1910 presidential race.
Robert Taft, a COP. leader and one
of it's senators is considered a strong
contender for the nomination. 1t is
claimed that he has already secured
the pledges of scores of Southern dele
gates to the 1910 COP. Convention.
Perry Howard, the astute national
committeeman from Mississippi, is
pulling the Taft strings. If this is
true, he has done a good job. Yet, the
COP. convention meets next June
with political uncertainties controlling
a situation that has no bounds. Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Kansas and Mis-
souri, must be brought into the picture
with Bob" Church of Memphis, a
colored COP. leader of wide influence
and years of political experience, still
holding the reins in this group Of
states. Church and Perry Howard are
close friends, who move as one when
Republican politics of the nation are
at fever heat.
There is a scattering Colored vote in
California and Colorado. The racial
voters cast their ballots and that is
all. They are not considered balance
of power except in local contests. How
ever, the cities of Los Angeles and
San Francisco in the state of movie
fame and Ham m Eggs tradition
might edge into the presidential pic
ture from a racial standpoint if Cali
fornia stages another close contest as
it did in 1916 when Charles Evans
Hughes, now Chief Justice of the U. S.

quoted as saying, after he learned Of
the decision:
"The question of expense for further

The decision of Judge Chestnut was
hailed by the NAACP as a victory Of
far-reaching significance in that it pro
vides a standard of measurement for
public employment and directs that
salary scales may not be based upon

THE HAIR

A woman's glory is surely her hair
Even an ordinary woman may achieve
a place in the sun if she has lovely
hair. Lovely hair has sheen in it.
1t is alive it is alight. How is this
glamour achieved? Not by soap Oh,
no, but in other ways. Try the egg
shampoo for once and see how soft
and silky your hair becomes. Beware
