Sylvester Club

Joe Station, popular columnist
and foe of partisanship in mum
icipal campaigns, has opened a
recruiting station to enlist the
electorate in the cause of John
N. Sylvester for mayor.
Station is calling all ex-Garfield
grads to come to the aid of their
former mate.
Sylvester, popular in the 37th
district, former legislator, is sur
rounding himself with a large non
partisan group who will place the
welfare of Seattle beyond the pail
of politics. He told a group of
workers any candidate who won
the office Of mayor on a partisan
test must of necessity rule the city
in like manner.
Displaying a list of volunteer
workers, Station said, 1--WE are def
initely in the Sylvester camp for
the duration of the campaign.

Carriers exhaustive study and
research in hsi painstaking compil-
alton discloses an enormous saw

government. If he would give the
same study to the operation of the
municipal government, his savings
would make a balanced budget a
reality instead of a probability.
Nor does he soar in the amount of
savings as others who have made
no investigation at all. He would

1853 and has 90 electoral votes.
Washington, with s02,934 popular
votes has only 8 electoral votes.
The eight poll tax states are re-
presented in congress by 16 sena-
tors and 78 representatives who
hold their seats in defiance of the
constitution of the u. S.
Yes, these men, elected only be-
cause the majority of the people
are illegally denied the right to
vote, actually control so per cent
! of the committees in both houses.
Today these men are in the fore
front of the yelping pack of hys-
teria-breeding congressman who
are seeking to plunge the nation
into war-forging slaverys chains
for workers and who work tire
lessly for the destruction of the
last vestige of social legislation.
Martin Dies is a stencil in the
nostrils of every believer in demo-
cracy and fair play. He owes his
seat to the poll tax.
Congressman Howard Smith of
Virginia is the author of the noto-
rious anti-strike bills which would
smash organized labor. He owes
his seat to the poll tax.
Congressman E. E. Cox of Geor-
gia shouts that strikes for any
reason are treason" and adds that
eff I have to have a change, I'd
infinitely prefer a strong militar-
istic government of the type of
Germany or ITALY," He owes his
seat to the poll tax.
These men hate democracy -
they are contemptious Of the con-
stitution although they are inces-
SAINT flag-wavers-they are afraid
of the people and will resist any
attempt to take from them the
power they now enjoy because
they can flout the will of the ma
jority of the people in their states
and districts.
An administration and a con-
gress genuinely concerned with the
defense of American democracy
will wipe the blot of the poll tax
out right now by simply obeying
the plain and express provisions of
the constitution all are sworn to
uphold and defend.

James Scavotto has such an init
mate knowledge of Seattle's fin
ancial problems that he is the ma
tural successor of Arthur 3. Lang
lie. Probably no man in the city
council or without, has a better
working knowledge of Seattle's
problems than Scavotto. He is
never satisfied with the reports
of experts. Being a Missourian by
birth, naturally he is of the SHOW
ME variety. Only when he has
satisfied himself that every prob

finances and property does he add
his voice or vote in the council"

Somewhat
Expressive
By Harold HOlifield

Already signs advertising may
orally candidates are being tied
to automobiles. Already plans are
under way for another contest to
see who will be Seattle's executive.
Already handbills are being de-
signed and advertising matter is
being planned to influence the
minds of the rulers-the rulers
are still the voters.
Now is the time for these who
will determine who shall hold the
post to begin to select. Now is the
time for the inquiries into the
candidates past records and into
their characters. For these in
quiries are the duties of all voters.
tbs is their chance to determine
whether or not they want cam
didate and to determine intelligent
ly. Some of those aspirants for
office may be honest; some may be
downright crooked claw of averag-
esq and there may be some who
are only partially dishonest. Some
will probably be prejudiced against
Negroes, Jews and Japanese. They
may even have signed petitions
against these groups living in
their districts. They would of
course not make good mayors. The
Negroes vote here is more potent
than he thinks. Therefore, this is
a suggestion, a plea that the vote
be used with the skill with which
it was intended to be used.

Harlem Globe Trotters
Master Magicians

l can't believe it; such basket
ball just isn't played, yet, with my
own eyes l saw it. Last Monday
night at the Civic Auditorium Sc
ven Sepia Aces from New York,
the renowned Harlem Globe Trot-
tiers, gave an exhibition of cham
pionship basketball when they de-
feated a very capable team the
Community League All-Stars, that
this reporters eyes have yet to see
duplicated.
Like a locomotive getting up
steam the Trotters paced through
the first quarter that ended in a
score of All Stars 10, Globe Trot-
tiers 4.
But from then on it was full
steam ahead with the throttles
wide open. Bernie lengthy" Price
the Trotters' sinewy center, non
chalantly tossed five rapid baskets
through the hoop, aided in two by
team mate and champion long shot
Sonny Boswell.
The score read at the half, Globe
Trotters IS, All Stars IL.
Soon after the second half, hav-
ing run up big lead, the Globe
Trotters proceeded to set ca
pacity crowd of 1880 fans rolling
in the isles with laughter at their
clever stunts, that included bas-
ketball game equivalent of "the
old shell game" or ball, ball who's
got the ball. The final score was

whelmed by these Seven Masters

Nat. Airmen Assn.
Oppose Prejudice

Chicago A strong resolution
condemning the War Departments
plan to establish an all-Negro pur-
suit squadron as a part of the
United States Army Air Corps
was adopted by the National Air
mems Association here Friday.
At the same time, the associa-
ton, made up of Negro flyers
throughout the country, voted to
intensity its campaign to have
Negroes integrated without regard
to race into the United States
Army Air Corps which presently
bars Negroes.
According to under secretary of
War, Patterson, the squadron con-
sisting of a ground crew of 400
men, 33 pilots and 81 planes, will
be set up at Tuskegee institute
in Alabama where a flying field
and other facilities will be pro-
vided.
The ground crew, according to
the announcement, will be trained
at Shanute field, Illinois for sew
eral months before going to the
southern school. The squadron, it
is understood, will be commanded
by a white officer.
Cornelius r. Coffey who, in adj
dition to being the president of
the Chicago chapter of the asso-
citation is also national president,
in commenting said the action
taken Friday is in line with the
associations policy.
Our fight for entrance into the
air corps has been long. We don't
intend to compromise now. Both
the army and navy have stressed
tradition in arguing against the
abolition of segregated units.
"In the air corps there is no ira
dition either favorable or unfavor-
able to complete racial interaga-
ton. If we permit the establish
ment of a Negro unit, it will be
establishing precedent which
will be hard to break down.
WED rather be excluded" Cof-
fey said, ethan to be segregated.
There's no constitutional support
for segregated units and the only
traditions existing in aviation as
I know it are ones which would
make complete indignation sane
and logical"

Newspapers Editorial
AssaiIed in Canada

OTTAWA, Ontario, March II Ca
madam Press The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police today brought two
complaints under the defense of
Canada regulations against the Cit
izen Publishing Co., Ltd. The COM
pany publishes morning and evening
editions of an Ottawa newspaper.
One of the complaints was that an
editorial of January II was, in part,
prejudicial to recruiting and the
other that it was prejudicial to the
safety of the state and the efficient
prosecution of the war.
The editrial was entitled "At the
Business End of the Bren," which
contained the following statement,
according to the complaint:
when the lads come home from
overseas after some years of service
at the real business end of the Bren
gun, they may know better where to
shoot than Canadian veterans did
in the years of debt and privation
after the last war"
