Democratic Convention

The Democrats met in the
Windy City and nominated Mr..
Roosevelt for a third term
which he accepted" This was
no surprise.
We gather from press re-
ports that the New Dealers
from the = city of Washington
with the aid of mayor Kelly
merely took over the meet and
rammed Roosevelt down the
threats of the delegates quite
regardless of anything or any
body; else. Even a few top-fight
New Dealers who dared to raise
their voices in protest or to
entertain hopes or themselves
We're promptly s4uelched.
In brief the convention CD
was a honey - the New Deal
and the Democratic party split
there for good is our guess.
About every first class Demo-
cratic writer in the country not
paid out of the federal treasury
has been absent lately with
the excuse, Excuse me while
I'm SICK

Brownsville, Tennessee

The situation at Brownsville
in Tennessee has all the marks
of Hitler-like tatics. 1t appears
that the colored part of the
population acquired a desire tc
exercise their legal right to vote
i'm larger numbers than former
ly, and that this angered the
white powers-that-be no end.
We do not know the proportion
of colored and white qualified
voters in that city but it is
Esef-evident that there are about
|enough colored votes to control
any election from the very fact
colored citizens were ran out of
town, one lynched and various
and numerous unlawful means
employed to persuade the color
led people that voting was a
white mans prerogative = in
Brownsville.
The fact these criminal acts
are done open and publicity in
dicates officials down there are
either involved or apathetic.
Such m-American occurances
under a Democratic administra-
ton that promised the Negro
everything if he would vote for
the New Deal-then proceeded
to eliminate him from jobs and
force him on relief where it was
"seen to" he voted right" or
had choice of starving. The
anti lynching bill, why the New
Dealers simply will not let any
thing like that ALLEVIATE the white
South supporters affections.
lhe A ntl-Lynchlng Bill could be
made law in half a day any day
if Roosevelt wanted it to be.
The root of the Brownsville
trouble can not be anything but
the fear of whites who consider.
themselves superior and to have
colored people have an import
and finger in elections unthink-
able and to be prevented at all
costs. This type of citizen is al
most wholly confined to the deep
South because it cannot flourish
in the educated and cultured

refused. That put the issue up
to Hitler and Mussolini. They
have been spouting about how
they were going to wreck tn
British Empire in a few days or
hours even. They will be OBJ
liged to demonstrate now as to
whether or not they were just
blowing as we suspect.
IN the Mediterranean the
Italian navy has been on the
run, the English have had to
fight them while they were on
the run, and have sunk several
Italian vessels at ranges that
sound unbelievable, claiming to
have scored direct hits on flee
ing Italian cruisers at Is miles,
The fact Italy has not got any
rich prize so far reflects Hitler
is running the show and has nc
Use for Italy but as cats paw
has not yet hit Mussolini but
when it does he will find him
self obliged to fight alone a.
gainst Englishmen, a somewhat
different matter than wuging
war on unarmed natives in
Ethiopia. The fact his navy is
afraid to stand up against the
English but turns and runs for
shelter as soon as their scouts
discover the English are coming
justifies the prediction Fascists
have yet to demonstrate they
can fight on equal terms with
free men.
The battle of Britain will be
the greatest the world has seen
Either Germany or Great Bri
tian will be destroyed, probably
both. In any event victory will
be so expensive the winner viii
be incapiciated for years tc
come. The US. is acting on the
premises that when Hitler has
mastered Europe he will turn
his attention on the Americas
In the light of what the Dies
Committee has uncovered we
are inclined to believe it is
correct However Hitler must
first win over England and that
is a hurdle we fear too high foi
Hitler to take in his stride ever
with the cowardly navy of the
Italian Fascists at his beck.

Heat WaveFHits Mcdowell

Not so long ago it was the
intense cold of winter we heard
frequently discussed, then the
excessive rain, but this week
it is the heat. A soaring blast
of Midwest heat swooped down
over Mcdowell and, we'll, is it
hot enough for you?
Oh. yes, we know it began
about the same time as the
Democratic convention.

North where the rule is far
nearer equality than in the deep
south, partly because educated
Negroes there have demon
strated they are as good as
any one. Thus the North has
grown more cosmopolitan-and
richer than the South. The acts
of Southern whites in employ
ing violence to insure their race
supremacy, or rather class SUI
premacy, is untenable in free
country and it must go. Voting
restrictions in the South must
be loosened, for they serve but
one class of citizens there, the
bosses, Colonels without regi-
ments and that type which lives
off the labor of the poor to be
brief the parasites of society.
After seven years of New
Dealism that has brought but
poverty and misery to millions
in the South and elsewhere the
colored voter and the poor who
cannot pay for the privilege of
voting now are aware of the
true nature of the New Deal
and find violence meets them
when they attempt to better
things, as they believe, by the
lawful process of voting their
convictions.
Roosevelt's reluctance to do
anything about it should speak
volumes to the Negro who stops
to ponder it over while, and
what did the New Deal dictator
say anent the Anti Lynching
Bill?
The colored voter should sit
down and think over whether
or not his people have gotten
any kind of New Deal from
Roosevelt in any part of the
United States and determine to
vote as his convictions are then
Near-election and election day
hot air should not blind him,
nor threats alter his determine
ltion to vote and to vote his own
way. After all the South is but
a small part of the country and
the election of the right man in
November can but result in the
Constitution being made law in
the deep South as well as the
rest of the country.
Meanwhile, constant hammer
ing at the New Deal door may
bring a temporary cure for the
Brownsville mess, which we are
of opinion is not confined wholly
to Brownsville, nor even the
state of Tennessee. But the New
Deal is not interested in equal
ity tolerance and the franchise.
1t is solely interested in Power
For Us" The "US" being FDR
and his intimates.
