SHUPE WARNS THAT LOSS
OF CIVIC LIBERTIES MAY
BE RESULT OF DEFEAT
BLUEFIELD, Sept. 9th

BLUEFIELD, Sept. 9th. -
Ralph Shupe, Bluefeld, sec
rotary treasurer of the West
Virginia Young COP League,
declared here tonight that 1--WE
are rapidly losing our right to
discuss pending legislation. A
mericans who should enjoy the
right of freedom of speech are
being designated as Fifth Column
lists and aliens if they dare OPP
pose the New Deal administra-
TONS policies. I warn you young
Republicans that this may be
the last election in which we
shall have the privilege of parti
cipating
"And if we lose this election, "
Shupe declared, 1--WE shall be
forced to hold meetings such
as this in secret places. Like
Christians under the rule of the
Roman emperors, we shall be
forced in hiding to fight the
never ceasing battle for liberty
Why not keep our liberty while
we have it?"
Speaking before a meeting OF
the Keyser Young Republican
Club the Young Republican
League officer told large
audience that "the young people
of our nation are the last to
have an opportunity to make a
free choice as TO the course of
their lives"
GAS fair minded, straight
thinking young Americans you
may ask, What is the basis for
these charges p" Shupe said,
"The answer to this question
| may be found in any phase or
segment of the New Deal acti-
vities. ..

Troopers Warn of Bad Driving
Days for Fall; Care Urged

CHARLESTON, w. Va. =
Soon now the frost will be on
the pumpkin, to coin an old
saying, and with it will come
autumn rains and wet slippery
highways which annually claim
their share of lives in West Vir-
ginia's fatal highway accidents,
From state troopers today
came the warning that motor
lists must be extremely cautious
during the fall months when
the fatality rate always has
hit it's highest point of the
year. A wet, slippery road is a
greater death-trap than those
with snow and ice, the accident
prevention bureau pointed out
and offered these figures for
proof: ..
Out of 337 accidents involving
fatalities during 1880 there
were 81 which resulted on wet
and muddy roads as compared
with only eight fatal accidents
on snow-covered highways, or 5
where ice played its part in
deaths drama. There also were
268 accidents on wet roads
where injuries to driver, pass
engers or pedestrians resulted
and 211 where there was pro
perty damage.
Trc ,,ers explained that mo-
tori c3ual,y take precautions
on y or anc covered roads
but depend too grcltly on goot
brakes and safety tires to keeI
them out Of trouble on we
highways where traction is re
duced to a minimum, depending
on the surface.

MRS. SARAH SPEAKS
ATTACKS N.A.A.C,P, i.
ABOUT. PfCKENS

NEW YORK.-The National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People tried
last week to smear" William
Pickens, its field secretary, be-
cause he is supporting Wendell
l.. Willkie for President, Mrs
Sara Pelham Speaks of the Re-
publican National Committee
said Saturday. She added that
the organization took action to
make Pickens resign from the
Colored Citizens Committee for
Willkie in n belated move to
covr up the Inflated venture by
Roy wilkins, editor of the Crisis
into the political field.
Wilkins has written SO much
in support of the New Deal and
the Third Term, that the Demo-
cratic ,Colored Division, which
maintains quarters at 331 Madi-
son Avenue. in New York,
apart from the headquarters of
the National Democratic Com
quotes him regularly in
its publicity releases. Some sup
porters of the Association have
demanded that Wilkins resign.
Meanwhile, the Association
ordered its paid workers to de-
sist from political activity at a
tense meeting of its administra-
tive committee last week.
Based on these developments,
Mrs. Speaks enlarged her criti-
cism Of the NAACP this week
by charging that other members
of the Association are support
ing the New Deal actively
whether they admit it or not.

PRESSURE GROUPS
BY DIR. Charles Stelzle


There is an ancient story that
when King Saul conspired to kill
David, David fled to the Cave
of Adullam, outside the city,
and there he was joined by
everyone that was in distress,
and everyone that was in debt,
and everyone that was discon-
tented" These constituted one
Of the first pressure groups"
Of which we have knowledge.
They were eager for acts of
violence. They urged David to
kill Saul. Instead, David made
friends with his neighbors,
even winning Jonathan, the son
of Saul. Shortly afterward,
David was himself crowned
King of Israel.
There are social and reform
movements in America today
which have within them bodies
Of men and women who are urg-
ing the expediency of "direct" y,
action. They want to use strong
arm methods. Let us take it for
granted that the detectives to
be attained are desirable, or
even imperative. 1t then becomes
merely a question of method.
Shall it consist of the use of
force, or, in the long run, is it
wiser and more strategic to
depend mainly upon educational
processes, at least until such
processes have proven to be in
effective?
The revolutions in history
which were based upon hatred
usually were followed by sup
pression on the part of the
victors that equalled or exceed
ed that which was the cause of
the revolution. The most success
full revolutions were those
which were based upon con-
structive idealism. Witness, for
example, the situation in the

The Presidtn is running for
a third term, and in view of the
fact that this is a violation of
a tradition of $50 years" stand
ing, it is my judgment that he is
under double obligation to
discuss the issues, as well as
the particular issue of a third
term. I do not believe that even
the Preidnt of tn .Unitd SAGE
the President of the United
States has a right to eliminate
public discussion or to refrain
for engaging in it when seek
ing public office. I again invite
him to engage in public discus
sion.
/ would suggest that the
President name experts who un-
derstand the building of defense
works to make inspection trips
with regard to such defense
works, and that the President
devote such time as he now
uses for that purpose to making
democracy work by discussing
the issues in which the Ameri-
can people are very much in
terested. -Rushvill, Ind. Aug 20

 To the report, Nugent, president of the last-place Phillies. de- clared:

 A stockholders meeting is sched- Iied soon.
 Leading the dissenteIs, the Rec Ard says. is William II. Earmar, vice president of the Baldwin Loco- motive Works. Among them they control 104 of the 5000 clubs shares. Nugent and his wife, who is vice president and treasurer, control majority.
 Harman was quoted by the Rec trd as saying that the clubs stock holders haven't received dime tn their investment for as long as can remember. All know is that l. continually operates at loss.
