CAMPAIGN
HITS NEW HIGH

The colored division of the Massa-
chusetts Republican State Committee,
under the leadership of George C.
Gordon is working strenuously to put
over successfully the election of
Wendell Willkie as the next President
of the United States. They feel that
his election will give the colored citi-
zen his just due in the affairs of the
country and change his status which
obtains under the present administra-
ton.
Wendell Willkie has proven himself
friend of the race, the committee
asserts, even before he anticipated
entering the political Arena. Many
years ago he made a valiant fight
against the Ku Klux Khan in behalf of
colored citizens in Akron, Ohio. The
Corporation from which he resigned
as the active head to campaign for the
office of President employs more than
Lila men of our race. In private in
dustry he has given the race an oppor-
tunity to EARN a living, therefore, in
public life, the race can be assured
that he will continue on a larger
scale.
WHAT WENDELL WILKES
ELECTION MEANS
In Wendell Wilkes own words at
Rally of Colored Republicans in
Chicago on Sept. 10, the following
utterances of his are found:
l. of elected l shall continue
relief for those who cannot secure
gainful employment"
2. 81 will abolish discrimination
in the administration of relief and
l will strive to find creative work
| for colored as well as for every
ytller man.2
3. "It is imperative that the lead
ership Of America give him an
opportunity to be creative and to
participate in the great enterprises
of American life"
4. "No man in America looks upon
the hideous crime of lynching with
more condemnation than do l"
5. "Mob violence shocks the con-
science of the nation and legislation
to curb this evil must be enacted"
6. eff elected, under my admins
tration there shall be no discrimi-
nation between people because of

through many rooms.
Miss Booths battered body was
found between the kitchen and din
cite, said Police Chief John ]. Dun
nigan, who added:
"As nearly as we can learn, Miss
Jones finally caught up with Miss
Booth and felled her with an old
Windsor chair. The chair broke and
parts of it were used over Miss Booths
head"
Mccartney said he looked through
a window upon reaching the home
and saw "Miss Jones raising the chair
over the PROSTATE Miss Booth, and
bringing it down on her head"
Miss Jones was taken to the psy-
chopathic ward of nearby Grasslands
Hospital. DR.. Frank Harnden of
Pittsfield, Mass, brother-in-law, said
the woman had been committed to a
Long Island sanitarium some years
ago and had remained there less than
year.
Oliver C. King, former West Ches-
ter County Judge, said an action to
declare Miss Jones incompetent was
heard in court some years ago. Miss
Booth served as her counsel, and
some time after the expiration of
Judge Kings term Miss Jones was
freed.
The quarrel started when Miss
Jones was seen attempting to push
an automobile from the garage under
meath the house. Police were told
she shouted she would jump beneath
the cars wheels, if she could get it
rolling down a slight hill outside the
garage. She was dissuaded by Miss
Booth and disappeared in the house.
In the course of their 25 year
friendship, the two spinsters had
travelled abroad together.
Until a year or two ago, Filipino
was employed as houseman, but there
had been no servant in the place since
his departure.
Miss Jones is the daughter of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. w. Strother Jones
of Red Bank, N. j. Her father serv-
ed on the board of governors of the
New York stock exchange and was
prominent in New Jersey hunting and
polo circles.

CAROLINE BALKS AT
CONSUMPTION COST

The Caroline County Commissioners
have taken the attitude that military
CONSUMPTION is a federal and not a
local issue and should be paid for &C
cordingly, when they were approached
by the board of election supervisors
for financial support of the conscrip-
ton plan last Tuesday.
VIM. M. Carey, of Greensboro, said,
any patriotic citizen would be willing
to contribute ink for a military con-
scription booth and that patriotic cit
liens probably would be willing to
donate space for the work.
Harry E. Sullivan, president of the
board, said probably individuals would
donate a day of their time to the
work, in case of emergency.
Roland Towers, of Preston, the third
member, said he was opposed to the
idea of the county commissioners pay
ing a bill of that type.
Members of the board of election
supervisors are Clellie Turner, Of Fed
eralsburg; Richard Blackburn, OF
Ridgely, and Ormond L. Andrew, of
Denton, chairman of the board.
Raymond Fisher, of Denton, clerk
to the board, said the original plan to
employ election registrars to take
charge of CONSUMPTION in the various
districts had been abandoned.

Whole Nation
Suffers Death
OF Bankhead

The Democratic Party is not the
only loser by the death of William B.
Bankhead, speaker of the House. The
whole nation should rightly mourn
him as an able and conscientious pub
lie servant who did his duty as he
saw it and who was conspiciously fair
in the performance of his official du-
ties.
That Mr.. Bankhead was a politician
goes without saying. Politics, in
deed, was his life. He wanted very
much to be Vice-President of the Unit
ed States. But if the action of the
Democratic National Convention left
him broken or disappointed no action
or word of his ever revealed the fact.
Mr.. Bankhead was a southern hber-
al. This means that he was broad in
his outlook and in his approach to
political, economic and social ques-
tions. But personally there was no
touch of the radical about him, even
if, in his capacity as speaker of the
House, he had to clear the road for
New Deal legislation.
Like most southerners Mr.. Bank
head was strong partisan. Yet,
Representative Martin, Republican
leader of the House, spoke only the
truth when he declared that "there
never was a fairer or more just man."
While he was speaker there never was
the slightest complaint that he failed
to accord the minority their full privi-
leges under the rules governing the
conduct of the House.

new CHAMPION
EMPHASIZES
COLOR VARIETY

The Champion for 1941 is bigger,
roomier six and its motor now de-
livers 80 horsepower at 1000 r. p. m.
It's L-head engine has ITO cubic inch
es of piston displacement. Seemingly
minor changes in cylinder head and
spark plugs add to the surprising pep
in traffic as we'll as the economy of
fuel consumption. The compression
ratio of this engine is 6.5 to 1.
Silent helical gears and clashless
synchronizers in the transmission and
automatic choke are twomore featur-
es that add to driving comfort and
ease of operation.
Overdrive is available in all models.
Tire sizes are 16 $50. The carburetor
is of the downdraft type with full
automatic heat control in addition to
tn automatic choke, mentioned above.
The gasoline tank has 15-gallon cap
acity. The distributor is equipped
with full range automatic vacuam
spark control. Generator has cur
rent and voltage control. There is a
9O-ampere hour safety-fill battery un-
der the hood. The starting motor is
operated by switch under the clutch
pedal, the most obvious location of all
for the control. Brakes are hydraulic.
The parking brake is mechanical and
operates on rear wheel drums. Stude-
bakers famous 'hill-holder" is avail
able at slight extra cost. Shock alb
sorbers are double-acting hydraulic.
The Champion has not outgrown it's
Introductory classification of an eff
ficient car with an absolute minimum
of dead weight. 1t still weighs less
than $500 pounds, although as will
be seen, it is longer and wider and
roomier. There is room for three
passengers in each seat. The body is,
of course, all steel. Rotary non-slam
door latches are used.
The new Champions come prepared
for Studebaker's "climatizer."
The Champion will have innumer-
able combinations of upholstery. For
example, the custom line of Champ
ions will have two colors of cloth as
