Friends can be of great help
when one is harried by doubt,
disrnayed by some affection. AS
we see in our Sunday School

friends, who in an indirect way,
were a real help to him. Job
sought the truth and found it.

1--WE are greatly honored in
being appointed members of the
Campaign Advisory Committee
of the Republican party. We
shall put forth every possible
effort in supporting Wendell l..
WILKES aggressive crusade a.
gainst New Dealism. The stream
lined and potent campaign
which is contemplated by the
Presidential nominee and JOSEPH
w. Martin, Jr., new Chairman
Of the Republica National Com
mittee and Campaign Manager
will have our most ardent sup
port.
1--WE are all the more dispos-
ed to work Fundamentally with
Mr.. VVillkie because he Is On
record as being opposed to race
hatred, bigotry and because hi
believes i'm liberty, equality ant
brotherly love- as declared by
him in a recent interview. Oul
candidate has caught the imagi-
nation of the American people,
and, as Mr.. Martin has said, hi
has color and personality, in adj

and experience demanded of
President of the United States
1T is evident that under Mr..
Wilkes leadership greater con
sideration is being given by
the Republican party to the
welfare of colored citizens thar
at any time during the past AZ
years.
1--WE agree with Mr.. Willkit
that the issue in this campaign
is the New Deal. Domestic condi
tons rather than foreign at

of the American people. Parti.

our people, that they have, in Il
large measure lost the spirit of
independence which makes for

"Mr. Willkie believes in a
government of competence and
elliciency-a thing we have not
had during the past seven
years. If unity is to be brought
about in America it must include
the colored people, who are the
chief victims of the Democratic
oligarchies in the South, where

Raleigh Speculates Over
Race For Speakership of
House of Representatives
lContinued From rage Onel

reau began to think there were some.
If there were they were completely
cancelled out by CT. O p. boilers to
the standard of the President.
No correspondent or columniSt was
ever cured, however, by being
wrong; so all will be at it again,
blissfully and bl;ndly ignoring past
@rrCrS.
And 80 the speakers race is
reached, rs the next milestone Oh the
road marked by wrecked forecasts.
The candidates who are working
more or less aggre$svcly for the
gavel Welding spot are Odus Null
Of Cleveland. George UZzeli Of RoW-
an, Jim Voger of MecklenbWS and
Clarence Stone Of Rockingham.
There Is practically unanimous
agreement that Stone isn't seriously
to be considered; and an almost as
unanimous belief that Vogler'S very
best possible accomplishment for
/ himself will be to deadlock Null and
Uzzell and thereby attain fCr him
self an important committee chair
! manship by trading ior himself and
his supporters.
In short, Vogicr seems to be trying
, to repeat the performance of the late
Bill Fcnner Of Nash, who held the
balance Of power between Libby
Ward and Victor Bryant and became
chairman Of the finance committee
by stampeding TO Ward on the third
ballot.
Incidentally the Mecklenbmger lost
much of his chance to do this
through Fenner's death. Jim backed
Bill last time and it was TO be on
pected that the fiery Nash re"reS-
entatve would support the Char
lotte grocer in reciprocatiOn Of the
favor
There's still a chance, however.
that Vogler can get the baCllino of
some ter u dozen representatives,
which might be enough to keep eitret
Null or Uzzell from winning on tho
first ballot. There is grave doubt
that Vogler can swing his followers as
Fenner did in 1889.
On the surface it looks like a very
close battle between the Salisbury
representative. comparatively a young
man thouoh House veteran. and the
Shelby old-tmer. Vogler's presence
in the race is likely help to Uzzell,
because were he to withdraw there
would be little excuse Of continued
neutrality on the part Of Governor
elect Broughton, who had both the
Volger and the Null support last
May.
Those who know their politics and
their 194l House members maintain
that UZzell can win under certain
conditions, the most important Of
which is if Libby Ward will 60 TO

on the other hand, certain workers
