CANDIDATE BANKS

This year Ward Nine has secured 2
single colored candidate without hav-
ing to resort to the usual disruptive
processes Of elimination. All can now
unite IN supporting Laurence Banks
who, as the result OF the primary cor
test Is the nominee FOR representa-
tive He Is conducting a clean. yigor-
Gus eompaign to win the election.
Many Ward 9 voters. white and
colored, argue that under rules 81
lar play the honor Of representing the
ward should shift at times TO the lower
end Of the ward and thus permit the
election Of q colored candidate. The
upper enders, largely Democratic
nave always monopolized representa-
ton IN both the City Council and the
general court despite the fact that the
bulk Of the colored vote has often been
cast IN support Of the Democratic
state and national ticket. A bit Of
practical reciprocity would tend n
strengthen colored allegiance 70 the
Democratic party and at the same
time win additional recruits.
Given a fair amount Of helm bv
llberal-minded white voters. colored
leaders declare that the Iong-cherished
hope Of electing 2 colored candidate
can De realized IN the November cleo
ton.

The Amician Club at quaint Gale
hurst, BilleTica, celebrated its twenty
fifth anniversary amid the autumnal
splendor Of the country estate where
club members with their wives and
friends enjoyed singing before the
cracking hearth, dancing in the flicker
ing shadows, specialties by the talented
among them, and finished the evening
by feasting upon the connections OF
culinary artists while receiving gifts
and listening to extoIling remarks by a
few.
Andrew j. Derricotte, founder Of the
Club in 1915, explained that the Ami
clan Club idea was conceived BY his
mothed in Athens, Georgia, its funda-
mental object being the means BY which
young couples could enjoy social activi-
ties under the proper supervision Of
responsible adults. By 1917 the club
had grown to be the most popular one
here and had an auxiliary, the Amician
Girls, who aided the boys to make each
affair a success.
Charter members, Harold VI. Board
ley, James L. Smith, and James A.
Garner, spoke briefly on past glories
as athletes, and social accomplishments.
The stability Of the club is due to the
high type Of membership, the mutual
regard of the members and the high
ideals of the club.
President Thomas Taylor, the man
who cannot get out of Office, was su-
preme in presenting the gift to the
clubs latest bride and groom, Mr.. and

DISCRIMINATION IN SPORTS

Diekerlng with intolerance, appease-
ment Of Southern colorphobists. invari-
ably leads Northerners into embarass-
ment and confusion for the reason that
strong liberal sentiment has develop-
ed during the past dozen years among
the younger generation. The arena Of
sports and the enormously increased
interest In athletic contests have CON
t1buted much to the steady expansion
OF tolerant spirit.
The core Of sportsmanship Is abgo-
lutte fair play; to all contenders a wide
open, equal chance, for without which
the essence Of sportsmanship is also
lacking; and no contest which com
promises with bigotry can properly be
classed as sport.
The New York University gtudents'
protest against the banning Of Leonard
Bates from the Missouri football game
IS no doubt motivated by the sentiment
OF fairness which, though It has its
most conspicuous expression perhaps
IN craftsmanship, Is obviously all Of a
piece with the general quality Of lib
erallsm prevailing in large sections of
young America especially in the North
and West. In their fight to lift the
color bar from "Lenny" Bates the all
university committee Of undergradu-
ates at \. 7. I. can be sure of enlisting
willing allies among undergraduates al
the University Of Missouri, and help
from that source should be sought.

WAKE UP
An open letter to the voters of Ward Q
By Ir1Un T. Dorch

By Ir1Uin T. Dorch

We have often tried TO elect some
one OF our race 10 the City Council or
the House Of Representatives from
Ward g. We have failed IN our al
tempts 10 do 50. and that failure was
more harmful 10 our group than 10 the
particular candidate.
After each campaign and election
day there have been many different
versions and excuses as TO why our
candidate was defeated. While, in
truth, the simple answer Is that We
have failed TO 90 our duty; and the
reason Is that We have allowed such
things a jealousy. spite. political atil-
iarion, and fantastic promises from
politicians who Use our people for two
purposes: % 70 divide the colored
peoples voting strength and the other
TO assure their own election. This prac-
nee has made Is the laughing stock Of
Boston.
We are not only told by well-mean-
ing colored people that We have failed
ourselves but are constantly reminded
by white people that II i our own fault
that We do not have some one Of our
own race IN The City Council or the
House OF Representatives. At public
meetings when We are admonished by a
white speaker that We should elect our
own Representative a far as possible.
We clap our hands and veil the roof

and deeds 10 work for. vote for, and
elect q cOl0red man or woman; but
when the dav comes for performance,
We have allowed all Of these selfish and
trivial things 10 enter into our activities
as I have mentioned above, and defeat
: again and again our reward. Il has
gotten 50 thai we are not respected or
feared but rather exploited by the
white candidates IN Ward 9. and the
justification for that attitude has been
established and maintained by Us and
Is alone.
We have too long been miSrepresent-
ed By self-sryled leaders who claim TO
owe their strength 10 no one but them
selves; but. al the same time. these

doors and telling the powers that be
