they we're blended by the late

certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,

although more than thirty-fve
years on the market, is still the

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
SLOW GETTING STARTED
HARLEM SHOWS LITTLE INTEREST IN
C.
LITTLE IN
ELECTION
(by Anthony B. Ferguson for GINS

New York City The Powers that be seem to
be losing precious time in rounding up the belated
balance of power Negro vote that means SO much to
the candidate of both parties.
The average Harlemite is hardly aware that a
presidential campaign is supposed to be under way,
there is no signs or poster for Roosevelt or Winkie
and a very few Harlemites can be seen on the streets
wearing the familiar campaign button.
Neither the Republicans or the Democrats have
announced who will head committees to gather the
each headquarter claims that there is so much fact
ional fighting among the Negro political leaders that
they are afraid to- name one for fear of the reaction
from others.
Both Headquarters claim they are unable to
conduct a long and thorough campaign because of re-
s~trictions placed on them by the Hatch Bill law,
which limits the amount of campaign expenditure to
3 million dollars to each party, too there has been
questions raised against various ways of raising the
campaign funds, as to the legality of these methods,
which also hampers the committees.
The main truth in the matter is that campaigns
have been shortened because the candidates can now
reach the mass of voters much quicker and many in
stances MORE effective via radio than the old way
and hence most of the campaign monies are alfocat-
ed for radio time.
Both parties make the same mistake in consider
ing the Negro vote as being as easy to reach and in
fluence as other group voters because they fail to
make a direct appeal to the Negro vote which is Wit
al to both parties inasmuch as it is the balance of
power in 20 key states, must be reached thru the Ne
gro press, Negro churches and other Negro groups
to be effective and requires more time than is at
present eiven in order to c~rystalize sentiments.

at is the feeling of thhe con-
Quoting this years Community
Chest Drive that the situation in
world affairs presents a challenge
to the people who enjoy the liber-
ties and the projection which is
afforded all Americans" said Mr..
johnson.
"A true test of thankfulness Cor
these privileges should be not only
a willingness but an eagerness to
answer the call for funds 20 care
for those who through force of
circumstances and other coming
eneies cannot care for themselves,
and to build character in u
youth so that they may be fitted
to carry on and preserve the ideals
of Americanism."
"America's answer is being made
in thousands of communities like
Omaha. The slogan "Open Your
Hearts to Omaha's Needs" means
the adequate financing of the work
of private social agencies in reliev
ing distress, in guiding the bewild-
cred and helping the discouraged.
This is our best answer to the
threat of mass hysteria that has
disrupted so many other nations.
In Omaha, more than 5000 persons
were served during the first six
months of 1910, by thirty of these
agencies banded together in the
Community Chest. More than 3d.
900 others made this service poss.
ible through their contributions.

DIR. LOCKE SAYS NATION TO
THRU FACIST PERIOD

Chicago, Aug.29 (ANP) "This
country will no doubt pass through
a brief period of fascism in the
near future,i declared Dr. Alain
Locke, professor of philosophy at
Howard university, at a Phi Beta
Sigma smoker held at the Quincy
club Saturday night. DR.. Locke
said the Negro would suffer dur
ing that period but his past trials
would lessen the effect upon him.
A new social order will rise fol-
lowing the period of fascism where
there will be more respect for in
dividual rights and liberties, he
predicted. The Negro, in the long
run, will be the beneficiary of this
new social order.
DIR. Locke called upon the lead
ers to organize the masses of Ne
n into an articulate group to
champion the cause of democracy.
The smoker was given in honor of
visiting members of the Phi Beta
Sigma fraternities. Among the
other out-of-town Sigmas who
were feted were DIR. Joseph W.
Nicholson, author and head of the
school of religion at Talladega,
