THE MAJORITY RULES

We are in the midst of campaign to nominate Con-
gressiona state and county officials Each of inter
ested in promoting the of particular individual
Should, however, that individual fall gracefully bow to
the will of the majority In the election which follows if
party goes down to defeat join hands with the victor
The Northwest Enterprise would teach Negroes pol
tics should be conducted free from ill feeling, free from
passion No for hate bitterness loss of friend
ship because of any political utilization.
Four years ago a noted churchman scheduled to
address political gathering The air full of threats and
Negroes promised reprisals
Aside from few candidates for precinct offices, all
candidates white After election neither of them would

white would lose the friendship of another because of your
politics? No. neither for politics anything ese although
thousands will and have voted for Negro candidates

lead to injury common developed instead of
passion, would likely find either ticket who
made demonstration against for which should
be politically rebuked. LIFT THE LABEL.

Negroes Drive For
Defense Plant Jobs

NETWORK A nationwide
campaign to open up jobs for Me-
groes in industrial plants, wose
owners have obtained billions of
dollars in contracts from the Unit
ed States government to carry for
ward the national defense pro-
gram, was launched last week by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Branches of the association
throughout the country have been
furnished with lists of plants in
their states that have received
government contracts. Association
members have been urged to lead
the drive in contracting the plant
managers to urge them to employ
Negroes in skilled as well as UNI
skilled jobs. Robert A. Weaver
administrative assistant on the adj
visory commission to the Council
of National Defense, at the request
of the NAACP, has furnished the
association with a complete list of
manufacturing plants all over the
country whose contracts with the
government have been cleared.

For many years Seattle warrants
paid to workers were often nom
chashable. Workers were forced
to hook their payswarrants at loan
sharks for as high as 1870. Langlie
eliminated these evils. He replaced
Seattle's notorious, obsolete street
car system with one of the most
modern transit systems in America
yet the people owe $4,000 LESS
on the new system than they did
for the old junk system.
Langlie's inherent friendly atti-
tude and fairness toward all races
and religions has been rapidly de-
monstrated. His character as a
public official is perhaps well ex-
pressed in the following statement
from one of his addresses: 1.-The
political job does not exist that I
would make private deals and
promises to obtain. We must give
the people the most honest and
efficient service of which the hui
man mind and energy are capa-
BILE. Nothing short of this standard
can be tolerated in these times of
distress and danger.
"Give the people this kind of
service and we shall win and hold
their faith in their institutions
and elected leaders. The people
have demonstrated in Seattle that
given that kind of government
they will gladly give their coopera-
ton in constructive programs for
the comon good, which must al
ways be placed above special privi-
lege or PERSONAL considerations.

Martin Meeting
Blitzkrieged
BY j. A. (Jack) johnson

A one-man sponsored MARTIN
FOR GOVERNOR meeting held at
Chandler Hall 1816-23rd avenue
Saturday night went into reverse
when the audience, largely COM
posed of old age pensioners be-
sieged both the principle speaker
and the sponsor with questions
that neither were able to satisfac-
torily answer. Among the ques-
tons asked were: Why didn't Mar
tin come and speak for himself
Why did he cut off my pension?
Why does he now promise forty
dollars month, when he has here
tofore refused to pay thirty? Why
are all the home visitors and in
vestigators chosen from the class
of people who are not in need?
These and similar questions were
hurled at the speaker during the
course of his talk and the meeting
adjourned amidst heckling and dis
order. 1t is the writer's opinion
that many Of the old age recipients
are not familiar with the law gov
erning old age assistance and
while the Governors garments
may not be without stain, 1t is
hardly fair to heap the sins of the
legislature upon him in addition to
his own. The Federal Government
demands investigation and certifi-
cation, a condition over which the
state has no control. The great
trouble is, that the question of
need is to finely drawn, and the
apparent ambition of home visitors
and investigators, trained in the
Earnest school of thought, is to as
nearly as possible starve human
beings to death without having
them actually drop dead. To the
sponsor of the meeting, this Is
just slap on the wrist, warn
ing. The Negro people will not fol-
low leaders who go about taking
money from office seekers and
trying to promote one man politi-
cal shows. What the race needs is
economic security, jobs, an equal
opportunity to earn living along
with the people of other races.

Preus COP Candidate
For Congress Favored

Paul A. Preus pronounced
"Price") Republican candidate for
Congress in the 9Th district, enters
the coming primaries unopposed.
He was a candidate two years
ago and will no doubt follow Will
kie and the Republican ticket to
victory.
To reporter of the Northwest
Enterprise, Preus said he stood
firmly with Willkie on the matters
discussed with various Negro dele
gates and newspaper men. Like
Willkie, he believes that discrim-
nation in any democracy is sim
ply foolish. Equality of opportu-
nifty has always been a cardinal
principle in every platform of his
political career.

10Th Annual Puget Sound Conference
Adiourns Its Most Colorful Session
Jobless Increase as
War Needs Grow

WASHINGTON-(CNA) - AS
Congress this week added another
$5,000,000,000 to the Administra-
TONS already over-swollen war
chest, the number of jobless per-
sons throughout the nation was
reported steadily rising, accord
ing to figures made public by the
Social Security Board.
A survey conducted by the
Board disclosed that general re-
lief cases for July rose to 663, 30
an increase of 8 per cent as COM
pared with June. The survey COW
cred ninety-eight areas and the
District of Columbia.
Fifty-one areas reported in
creases ranging from l to % per
cent, while others accounted for
as high as "a per cent. Almost
all large cities reported increases.
New York's total needy list went
up one per cent, bringing its num-
Der of cases to $4,000, while Chi
cago's rose 2 per cent.
In spite of the distressing stu
alton, indications are that many
cities, taking their cue from the
national administration, will slash
even deeper the already meager
aid given the unemployed. Declar-
ing that National defense re-
quirements" must receive first
consideration, New York CITY

Frank Burns is in every way one
of the most unusual candidates for
governor this state has ever had.
Highly qualified, well balanced, sim
cere and like Willkie, frankly tells
people what to expect. His radio
talk surely struck a responsive
cord. If he is elected governor on
his platform, the State of Wash
ington will have enough money to
care for his program of relief and
pensions. The most important
points of his program are as fol-
lows:
"Stop the dictation of invisible
government and pressure groups.
Return functions of cities and
counties to them which have been
taken over by the state.
audit every department of state
government by certified public ac-
countants.
'Tn advocating these things,
Burns is urging that the rank and
file of the people take back into
their own hands much of the privi-
leges they have abdicated to CEN
trail government, state and nation.
The New Deals basic philosophy
is a centralized government exert
ing its influence over almost every
phase of life. In opposing this,
Burns is working hand and glove
with Willlxie, and is the only candi-
date for governor in either party
to date who has had the moral
courage to oppose the hordes of
politicians who want their jobs per-
petuated at the expense of the
taxpayer"
Replying to query as to whe-
Their race, creed or color would
form a basis for his administration
said: ITO me mans man for a
that or that. I believe like Willlxie
that any such discrimination is
foolish. Rather all men up, no man
down. A democratic government
can thrive only on fair deal to
all its citizens. I believe the prob
lens of the common man are just
as big to that man as a bankers
problems are to the banker.

Two Bad Eggs

Dear Editor:
Some few years ago, Negro
citizen applied for and was accept
ed under the quota allowance from
his district to enroll in the Home
less Mems Camp at Carnation,
Washington. Upon being inter-
viewed by the Federal Transient
Bureau for this humble privilege,
he was refused admission by rea-
son of his color.
This man through justifiable
and clever maneuvers acquired an
official letter to this effect. The
letter in it's entirety, is as follows:
ITO Whom it May Concern:
Mr.. E. E. Phelps today applied
for admission to our Transient and
Resident Homeless Mems Camp at
Carnation, Washington.
Mr.. Phelps has Negro blood and
as our camps are closed to all Ne
groes, was obliged to refuse him
admittance.
Regretfully
Dorothy Fisk
Case Worker
"a Union Street
Seattle, Wash"
The above malignant letter was
in turn handed owed to Congress
man Wallgren for official action
and up to the present date, there
has not been any adjustment and
further, this Case Worker was al
legged to have been subsequently
shifted to headquarters in Olym-
pia.
I therefore, take the position
that the job of United States Sc
nator is little too much for Con-
gresham Wa1lgren in that there
would be large number of Negro
constituents who are highly dis
pleased with determinations in
the C. c. c. and w. p. A., and
other bureaus and also are anxious
to find out how far do discrimina-
tory practices extend into our gov
ernmental quasi judicial bodies.
How about it Congressman?
Respectfully,
Marshall Gray

test against the establishment of

such a school attended by all races
