New York-The N. A. A. G. p.
has asked United States Attorney
General Robert Jackson to inves-
tigate the refusal of Gaffney, S.
c., election officials to register
eligible Negro voters for the 1910

According to a report in the

register on August 6 and z, de-
spite the fact that the county at
torney advised them that the Ne
groes were as eligible to vote as
he was.
According to the report, the
election officials are said to have
told the prospective Negro voters
that Dies have never regis
tered in South Carolina, and es-
picially in Cherokee county. I'm
less the law is given, we will not
register you" The report stated
that on second attempt on the
part of Negro voters to register,
the election officials Slammed
the door, in their faces.

lieves that the people of King

sioner man who has made a stu
dy of the county government and
one who will not make promises
that cannot be kept just for the

through; that he must be able to
Withstand pressure groups and

Mr.. Frank Burns, in common
with all other thoughtful men and
women, realized that, just as in
the nation, we here in Washington
are rapidly nearing crisis in
the political affairs of the state;
that the state government, as now
constituted, is concentrated in a
small group built around the Gov
ernor, and that, through its finan-
cial and political affiliation with
the Hopkins dominated admins
tration in Washington, d. c., it
now controls the financial destiny
of every small and medium sized
business in the state as well as
the lives of more than half the
states population.
Such a power in the hands OF
those willing to use it for politi-
cal purposes is not good for the
people, and unquestionably, this
was in the mind of Mr.. Burns
when he so earnestly advocated
the return of local government
to the local governing bodies. AS
matters now stand, city and coun-
ty commissioners must travel to
Olympia and there, hat in hand,
plead for the return of some OF
their own couhty's taxes in order
that they, themselves, continue to
function. AS Mr.. Burns well said
this unnecessary duplication and
consequent vast of funds would
never be tolerated in business and
should not be tolerated in public
affairs.
In concluding this article, wish
to direct an earnest personal ap-
peal to the old line political leaders
of the Republican party in this
state.

Seattle, Sept. Citing figures
indicating that over five million
dollars has been lost to the per-
manent school fund of Washing
toms school system during the
8-year incumbency of the present
State Land Commissioner, through
timber and upland land sales at
prices averaging $54 per acre less
than were received in the four
previous years which included the
worst of the depression, Progress
sive Jack Taylor today stated that
he will stop school land raids If
elected State Land Commissioner
on the Democratic ticket.
Taylor, who holds the record
for the highest vote ever given a
County Commissioner in the state
of Washington, when he ran for
reelection several years ago, is
aggressively campaigning the state
on the campaign issue that your
children come first" and that he
will conform in all his acts as land
commissioner to the spirit as well
as the letter of the Constitution
which safeguards school lands as a
permanent trust, with the land
commissioner as it's guardian and

In the 37th legislative district,
the largest in the state, and where
the largest population of Negro
citizens reside, many candidates
are seeking to represent the dis
trict in the 1941 legislature. Racial
interest demands that we give SER
ious consideration to the honesty,
integrity, love of social justice and
racial tolerance of every candidate.
The writer recommends to the vot-
ers of the district the candidacy
of Tom O'Gorman, former legisla-
tor. who served with honor and
distinction in the session of 1888.
Mr.. O'Gorman is progressive but
not radical. Conservative but not
reactionary-believes in adequate
pensions and relief for those in
need, and voted for all progressive
and economic legislation in 1888.
He has no racial prejudices, is
Canadian born and during his 80
years residence in Seattle, has new
err lived or even visited south of
the Oregon line. He loves Ameri-
canism, hates Communism and will
help smash theCommunist front
in the district he represents.
Vote for Tom O'Gorman in the
Primary Election Sept. 10th.

Senate Passes Wagner's Anti-Discrim-
ination Amendment to Conscrip. Bill

Washington, d. Following a
debate in which southern senators
made full use of their anti-Ne-
gro sentiments to bolster the set
tied policy of discrimination
against Negroes in the Army and
Navy, the Senate voted Monday,
August 26, 1921, to incdlude in
the Burke-Wadsworth CONSUMPTION
bill an amendment introduced by
Senator Wagner of New York,
which would permit Negroes to
enlist in all branches of the armed
forces including aviation.
The Wagner amendment, which
affects only enlisted men, was not
passed until Senator Ellender, of
Louisiana, forced Wagner to say
that he felt colored and white
troups should be placed in separ
ate units in the army. 1t reads
as follows:
Provided, that any person be-
tween the ages of Is and 35, re-
gardless of race or color, shall be
afforded an opportunity voluntar-
lily to enlist and be indicted into
the land or naval forces (including
aviation units) of the United
States for the training and service
prescribed in subsection OBJ, if he
is acceptable to the land and naval
forces for such training or SER
vice.
