AN UPRIGHT MAN

tan way of life He constantly sought the right
path toward which to guide and then showed
them it was the right road by following it. He never
flnched from what he thought the Christian
way regardless of the personal sacrifice involved.
He stressed intellectual honesty-he felt that when
men learned to think straight that they would live
correctly. The Brawley spirit still lives with his
students
From the day that DR. Charles Hubert met his
first class the MorehoUse College campus students
began to appreciate the value of social Christianity.

Jesus. He has sought to understand peoples
problems and to guide them toward a solution in the
spirit and faith of the Greatest of Teachers Men
follow him because they trust him-they trust him
because he sees straight thinks straight and lives
for others.
These great and good men-they either ere

But alseep ave their lives examples for youth

through them of the validity of Christian principles
in a complicated materalistc world Job was all

lens confronting you; one who, IN
his own business, has employed fol
many years colored people on his
paw rolls; one who will give you
the assurance that a, just percent

The citizens of Arizona need a
candidate for governor who, in the

crder::" who. in his own private
business must be successful ano

type can work toward the end
that there will be a wage Garner

type of man not only the colored

ocratic hue in the south keeps wondering chow
they ever came around to choosing good man
such as Wkie." He does not know vet the nation
was demanding man such as Wilkie to Spur up
the democratic ideals in the nation and offset a
direct plunge towards totaltarianism.
The G. O. P. included in their 1910 party plank
almost specific references for the improvement of
the colored Americans status. What will the
Democratic Convention do about this?
The G.. O. P has fairly large representation
from among colored Americans and yet we
have heard of no incident occurring that would
make any party bow its head in shame and dis
grace What will the Chicago convention bring?
Delegates from the deep South, who proposed
that their solid Demovoting natures should get
extra votes on the convention floor should abolish
this facist-reward contention from their minds
and play ball and begin to recognize that the col
cred southerner, who pays taxes the same they
nay them and who must bear the burden of the
south in the same manner, is and worthy OF
