Unity-The Light That Guides

Arizona needs preparedness, not
politics, in her forward action in
safeguarding the interests of all
her citizens.
Instead of discussing the past.
let us unite for the future.
For if. instead of uniting for the
good and welfare of our state, we
devote out thoughts and energies
to fighting each other, faction
against faction, we may awaken
some day to find that we have
placed in control those people in
our governmental offices who can
neither interpret the fatherhood
of God nor in any way aid in the
brotherhood of man.
To everyone of you-to every
Arizona citizen-the future of our
state should be a vital and all abb
sorbing subject, and each one of
you should share in the thoughtful
and earnest care which surrounds
the choosing Of the candidates for
the Office Of state government. We
all share alike the costs of that
choosing. we will all share castro
phe if it fails. And so that our

Therefore, let preparedness be
one of the watchwords, one of the
guideposts, toward that Unity, the

our voting when the time comes by
a knowledge of those who are good

candidates seeking the nomination

Let the colored citizens join with
those white friends to work for
that preparedness which will pre-

transporting cattle without having
them properly inspected. The

Thereupon, the court ordered one

Just One Day Gets
COlOred Votes

The rally at East Lake Park
Sunday, July %. did more harm
than good, according to reports
from a number Of candidates anu
a few voters soliciting money from,
different candidates for what was
to- be free barbecue.
When time came for speaking it
was said that each individual had
to register. The registration fee is
So each. If you had donated enc
dcllar for the barbecue you had
to pay two dollars before you
could speak. One man had paid
two dollars, but some how the
clerk could not give any account
of his donation. He would not pay
the three dollars fees, therefore he
was igh-jacked."
This kind of robbery is one OF
the many things that hurt our
people. It has been an old say
ing that the votes of our people
can be bought over night. Go to
the cloored people just one day
previous Of the election and offer
them dollar or two and get every
one of their votes. But we, the
Jeffersonian Democratic League
resent that saying We are group
of citizens who represent prin-
ciple and stand by the same. We
are for the candidate who Is foI
the interest Of the tax payers.
We are very much like the princi-
plies of the Baptist Church: We
take a candidate on what he says
and give him our support and kick
him out on what he does.
We are fed up on this last n1ir
ute pro- aganda. We request your
Statement to our club before we
attempt to give you our support.

stated that she was not harmed
and a medical examination also
revealed that she was unharmed.
The usual khan method when
the authorities are close on their
trail was evidenced in this case.
A Negro is usually falsely accus-
ed of rape to distract attention
from their own crime and to JUS
tify their action. The action of
the grand jury has undoubtedly
created fear in the khan ranks.
For the first time here a grand
jury has pledged to bring to JUS
