Hello folks e.. on Tuesday, Novem-
per The fifth we will all face the great
American plebiscite the national
election to determine how we shall be
governed during these next critical
years whether to continue the poll
cles OF the Democratic Party under the
New Deal which has been in force since
1882 or to agree to a revolutionary
change OF conditions which is declared
essential to the welfare of the people
by the Republican Party and still
further we have the Communist PARTY
seeking to place a race candidate in the
Vlce-Presldency -. as is the custom for
centuries during great political stress
all principal factors of these parties
have beclouded the issues of the cam
palgn In a major effort to impress the
public with their rynamic personalities
while the average man wonders Just
how much the European situation will
affect us in the future and how impreg-
nable is our national defense the
safeguard Of our personal liberty is a
free press which fortunately has been
eager to present a trde picture of
foreign affairs which subversive propa-
ganda has failed to disprove. all
major political parties are exerting
their utmost power to swing the ma
tiOnal cOlOred vote more than ever this
year and the promises of relief are
flying thick and fast do not be too
easily impressed by power politics
weigh the record of each candidate
carefully decide under whom you
would enjoy the greatest security if
war actually threatens this country
and above all present yourselves at the
polling places on election day to exer-
else your paramount right as a free
American citizen see you at the
polls Tuesday, Nov. 5 the local
citizenry are up in arms over the ques-
tionable taste of a large number of
registrars who on national CONSUMPTION
day elected to classify all colored APP
plicants under a black color classical
ton when there existed a specified
choice of designations as light brown,
dark brown or black :. the situation
was unusually embarrassing to those
men who were seeking to conform with
the law as their patriotic duty and it
is hoped that the draft boards will con-
slider this course in conformance with
the wishes of the person involved in
future cases if you were victim
of the misguided intelligence of some
registrar and you wish to have the
classification corrected report the
matter promptly at your local board
headquarters thank you D.. . here
