dressing a huge crowd gathered
around his train here this morning.
Wendell L. Willkie repeated the
charges he made at Milwaukee last
night that the Democrats are seek
ing to induce Government employees
to make campaign contributions and
to put pressure on relief workers.
More than 10000 persons swarmed
around the railroad tracks here as
the Willkie special pulled in at 10
o'clock this morning Out of pop
ulation of 1864 the large turnout
for an early-morning meeting sur
prised and gratified local Repub-
licans
Mr.. Willkie told the crowd there
is one appeal he would like to make
to people of all parties.
This free way of life" he said
depends upon discussion, and if
this discussion is not free, open and
candid, then this way of life cannot

losing the election. has adopted tao
tics of desperation But he urged
his listeners not to be misled by
"smearing" attempts.
At the same time he appealed to
those supporting him to avoid the
adoption of such tactics,
Mr.. Willkie is retracing his steps
through Indiana and Illinois today.
After he had delivered a mes
sage last night in observance
of Young Republican day, warn
ing that the temporary stimu-

viving private enterprise. Mr. Will
kie delivered another broadside Of
questions to President Roosevelt.
He said:
When the third-term candidate
begins his belated and forced dis
cussion of the issues of the cam
paign. I want to put to him a
question: You say that you seek no
dictatorial powers because you sub
nit yourself to a free election in
America. Do you call it free
election in view of your combina-
ton and sitting in conference, as
you have, with the Boss Hagues, the
Boss Flynns and the Kelly-Nashes?
Do you call it a free election in
America when the chairman of your
committeeman he could not do it
without your acknowledgements out
lists of Government employees and
seeks to collect campaign contribu-
lions from them? Do you count it
free election when you begin to
put pressure upon relief receivers
and people on w. P. A. employ
ment?'

deal of interest.
Mr.. Laakso reviewed briefly the 81 tuation at each

With the exception of the shoe repair department,
sales at the valet shop have steadily climbed. The
shoe repair branch does not pay for itself some
weeks. 1t suggested by lr. 1aakso that it might
be found advisable that this work be sent out Nth
the Laundry and dry cleaning. This could be done
with no loss to Greenbelt Consumer Services.
The smdry department suffers from Lack of
space, shortage of properltraned personnel the
long hours. It is proposed that if this department
is moved into the vacant furniture store it
could be kept open from 1890 to and should oper

COOP PRESIDENT REPORTS

Report of the president to the Greenbelt Con-
s>rmer Services, Inc, membership meeting of Feb
ruary 7, 1870:
Greenbelt Consumer Services, Inc, was
launched as cooperative January l8, 1870,
when certain amendments to it's Certificate of
Incorporation, approved at the subscribers
meeting of January by many of those now pre-
sent, filed wi tn the tax commits sion of the
State of Maryland.

ties. This event was made possible by your will
ingness to throw your lot In wi tn your neigh
boris, and to accept In business as you have in
government the principle of democ ratio control
of control My the people and for the people,"
The fact that the signi ficance of this event
far outsteps the geographic boundaries of our
town is to be seen in the detailed reports it
has evoked in the newspapers in many parts of
this country.
The town of Greenbelt created essentially

would do for themselves in a town designe for
democracy--tn town planned so that its citi-
could most readily and most effec lively
work together for their common benefit. To my
mind the gni fl canoe of the examinations which
we have created in Greenbelt- churches, our
Health Association, our Credit Union, news
paper, our Citizens Association, Athletic
Association, to mention only feW-lies in the
fact that each, in its success, is testimonial
to the success Of Greenbelt, and to the success
of the democratic principles to which Greenbelt
is dedicated.
On January Ii Greenbelt's consumer coopera-

to the success of Greenbelt, but wi tn its re-

MARIAN ANDERSON

A lovely maid of dusky hue
With heart tender and mild,
With voice that is in tune with God
Ethiopia'S marvellous child.
With laurels gained in a few years
By voice so rare and sweet,
People of most every land
Pay homage at her feet.
But in this, her native land,
The place that she calls home,
Right in the nations capitol,
They refused to acclaim their own.
Insulted by an ignorant few,
A minded band,
Degrading both by word or deed,
The name American.
But it was an act Of Mighty God,
Their hall they refused this girl,
She sang meath Gods great canopy,
Was heard throughout the world.
Her voice rang out loud and clear,
Her pOise was sweet and mild,
Great Lincoln looked down and
seemed to say,
Well done, mistreated child.
The thousands who before her
stood,
AS her sweet voice filled the air,
Bowed their heads in reverence
AS though in silent prayer.
And from his throne the Mighty
One,
Who knows not race or creed,
Smiled upon his handiwork,
And bid his child God-speed.
Horace Allen.
