SHERRILL FOR COUNCIL

A general citizens committee composed of rep
resentatiues of all political faiths inspired last
Friday when they expressed their determination
that Negro should run for the Common Council
and set about to draft William L. Sheriff. as their
candidate The unanimity with which the large body
acted was an indication of the brilliant strides our
group has made on the road of political achievement
The selection of William L. Sheriff. is tribute to
sterling character man whose burning passion
has always been the advancement of his people,
great commoner confident in the capacity and the
promises of the downtrodden.
For over twenty years William L. Sheriff. has
preached to our people doctrine of sef-reliance
and like Emerson, who fired the imagination of a
young country he has demonstrated in his own per-
son the great virtue that lies in the sheer strength
of character The citizens committee was cognizant
of his forcefu personality, and acted we believe, with
ineffable wisdom in unanimously drafting him to
step out in a crusade against the political and eco
nomic evils which beset the colored citzenry of met
ropoitan Detroit.
Today like no other in the history of our city,
the times demand new deal, and the troubled mass
es of our people seek commanding voice, voice in
the running of this dynamic city, The eyes of our
people are open and they can see the horizon the
dawn of bright day when social justice becomes
than shibboleth in the mouths of selfseeking
demagogues We see the necessity of destroying that
pyramid of tyranny in our crumbling city hall. We
and welcome this chance to change those political
horses who know that it is good for them to keep
forever in the middle of the stream.
