judge.
LET me remind my sanity OPP
ponent of the words of wisdom {:
TO thine own self be true and
thou canst not then be false to
any man.
Police Judge Devin's campaign
is being financed by corporation
lawyers, big businessmen and fin
anciers who hope to gain control
of the handling of big defense con-
tracts in Seattle. Yet Devin claims
he will be free from all strings
when he is elected mayor.
Millikin declared. "I recall
two notable instances where the
low man in the primary came out
ahead in the finals. George Cot
terill beat Hiram Gill in 1912 in
spite of two to one handicap to
start. In 1886 Arthur B. Langlie
seemed certain to carry the cleo
ton judging from his primary
vote but John Dore turned the ta-
bles in the finals. I know I can do
it again"

In St. Louis Speech

st. Louis, Mo.-A crowd of 1900
persons gathered in the city au-
ditorium here Sunday afternoon,
February %, for a meeting on the
Negro in national defense.
The principal speaker for the oc-
casion was Walter White of New
York, secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People. Other speak
ers were Sidney Williams, form
erly of st. Louis; Thomas C. Hen
nings, former Congressman and
now city attorney; and Attorney
William Orthwein.
Following the st. Louis meet
ing, Mr.. White spoke in Kansas
City, and in jefferson City.

own gain.
Millikin also said he feels SEN
timents crystalizing in his favor
just as it did during the week be-
fore the primaries and that he is
confident of victory. He points to
the large numbers of supporters
who have volunteered to help him
win his battle, leaders of both po-
litical parties, laborers, business
men, and particularly workers
from the forces of candidates who
lost in the primaries. Political OBJ
servers generally agree that Mil
likin's opponent polled most of his
strength in the primaries while
Millikin's vote was split among the
other candidates.
Police Judge Devin claims he
will do something about Seattle's
increasing traffic fatalities after
he Is elected mayor. Was he power
less to act while serving as police
Judge and as member of the ex-
ecutive board Of Seattle's Traffic
and Safety Council?
Police Judge Devin maintains
he will provide a separate court
to handle traffic cases and cri-
minal cases. Was he not in po-
sition to recommend and bring
this about as a police judge? Re-
cords show he has torn up between
1000 and 5000 traffic slips for

Deny Ugly Rumors

that citizens of Seattle have reg
istered protests to the Commander
at Fort Lewis, against the appoint
ment of Miss Gertrude Jackson
as hostess: The Northwest En-
terprise addressed a special de-
livery letter to the Commanding
officer to verify any protests
against the appointment of Miss
Jackson.
The letter and answer follow:
Northwest Enterprise
Seattle, Washington
March 8, 1941
To The Commanding Officer,
FIT. Lewis, Washington
Information has come to the
Northwest Enterprise that pro-
tests have been made to you, re
the Appointment of Miss Gertrude
Jackson as hostess at Fort Lewis.
If true, any such protests are
without public authorization or sane
ton.
We know Miss Jackson Is wor-
thy of her appointment. Her rec
concentrations must have met the
approval of those who made 1t.
The Northwest Enterprise whole
heartedly approves your judge
ment and we are sure it has the
approval of all lovers of fair play.
Would you be good enough to
say if our information is correct,
and very much oblige.
Yours respectfully,

Mr.. e. I. Robinson, Publisher,

Seattle, Washington
Dear Sir:
Your letter of March 3 address,
ed to the Commanding Officer,
Fort Lewis, regarding the appoint
ment of Miss Gertrude Jackson as
Junior Hostess has been received.
We are surprised at the content
of your letter because we have
heard no such protest as you men
ton, directly or indirectly; but on
the contrary we have had many
commentators regarding Miss
Jackson and the manner in which
she is performing her duties. We
are thoroughly satisfied with her
in every particular. She serving
extremely well and in the short
space of time that she has been
here has been responsible for vast
ly improving the moral of the COL
ored units with which she is serv-
ing.
Very truly yours,
JOHN L. HAMILTON
Major, F. A.
Adjutant
This reply should be sufficient
to stifle every idle and wagging
tongue. Any other course is go
ing to subject any protestants to
chagrin and ridicule. For fear he
special delivery would not reach
the deadline, it was confirmed by
long distance, Thursday morning.

Springfield, O.-There is a grow
ing desire for real union organiza-
ton at the huge RIM plant here,

service to RIM workers.

Machine Workers of America, has
already proven its ability and eff
fectiveness in every major plant
of the electrical industry. RIM
workers are urged to establish a
Local Union of the UER&MWA,

Anderson Escapes, Mount
Dies in HiaIeah Spill
By the Associated Press.


HIALEAH PARK, Fla, Feb. IT,
Another accident was added to the
list here this afternoon with the
running of the 6-furlong fourth race,
for shifty platers. The veteran
Jockey Irving Anderson narrowly
escaped serious injury when his
mount, Johns Heir, got caught in
jam along the rail in the stretch
drive, falling and breaking his neck.
Anderson arose unaided and later
it was reported he suffered no worse
than bruises and shaking up. He
cancelled his remaining mounts. The
dead horse was carted away with
due haste. He had been charging
up on the leaders when he went
down with his head turned under.
The 5-year-old gelding ran for
s3,250 and represented Mrs. L.
LaZare.
Speed to Spare. from the Circle
M Ranch and the 2 to 5 favorite,
was disqualified from third place,
where he finished. He appeared
responsible for the accident, for he
was a tired pacemaker and swerved
in, forcing Johns Heir down.
The race was won by Wake Robin,
$3.50 for 50 shot, which headed
Commencement in the photo finish.
Highscope was moved UP to third
position after the disqualification.
