Big Vote in Election
Urged in Plea by
Marlin and Flynn
Staggered Hours Asked
At War Plants so Men
Can Go to Polls
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Chairmen Joseph w. Martin, jr.,
and Edward j. Flynn of the Re-
publican and Democratic National
Committees issued joint state
ment yesterday declaring the No
vember elections should represent
the judgment of our whole citizenry"
and urging all employers to stagger
hours so that workers may vote
without interruption to war tasks.
The statement follows:
mo election in our country's
history transcends in Importance
that which will be held a week
from tomorrow.
Big Stake in War Cited.
"Our country is engaged In a
war that means not only the pro-
lection of the liberties for which
America has fought from it's be-
ginnings, but which must determine
whether civilization itself as we
know it shall survive or give way
to a world enslaved by an arrogant
group of nations captained by the
most brutal, ruthless and cynical
leaders that have afflicted humanity
since the dark ages.
TT is requisite that our people
should express themselves ade-
quately and decisively in the choice
of their Government officials
This election should represent
the judgment of our whole citizenry
Hundreds of thousands of our
citizens are engaged in work on
which depends the period and ex-
tent of the victory we must gain.
Doubtless many of these may deem
that they cannot take time for
anything else but their tasks.
Staggered Hours Urged.
"In order that these may be
assured that it is part-if not the
most important element in our
strife for a decent world-that they
exercise the first duty of a citizen
on election day, the chairmen of
the two great political parties unite
in this injunction to the workers
to 60 to the polls, and more par
ticularly to the employers in all
establishments, war and peace es-
Establishments alike, that they afford
every opportunity to their en-
ployes to vote.
"They can do this by staggering
the time off so there will be no in
terruption of the vital tasks, but
we leave it to them to formulate
the processes"

Issuance of such an order, how
ever, would work a severe hardship
on the. farmers of the northern
areasDf this country, who cut most
of the pulpwood used in newsprint
manufacture.
Furthermore, there is little labor
involved once the pulpwood is at

IN MEMORIAM
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
The Late DIR. w. E. NOblin
COunty Health Officer

Whose slogan was, as that OF
Booker T. Washington's, There Is
no defense for any of us except in
the highest intelligence and develop
ment of all", We Dedicate this
Poem.
We cannot say and we will not say
that he Is dead
He is just away
With cherry smile and wave OF
the hand
He has wandered into an unknown
land
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t need must be, since he fingered
there,
And you-Oh you-the widest yearn
For the old time step and the glad
return.
Think of him fairing on as dear
In the love of There, as in the
love of here
Think of him dear as the same we
say
He is not dead-he is just away

The 1912 Session Of The State Legislature

recently adjourned here passed Others act for the
creation Of home for Negro delinquent youth for the
building of road to Alcorn College Passed at the
time the appropriation of 100000 for the consruc
ton of the home and $4,000 for road construction Aco
College.
The home for Negro delinquent youth has engaged the
attention actions and prayers of the best thinking Negro
citizens of the state for the last past decade and longer In
recent they have been joined by of the best think
ing white people of the state.
The torturous and badly kept roads to Alcorn College
have long detracted from the influence of Acorn College
upon the educational life of the state
By the passage of these two acts the 1912 session of the
State Legislature has earned and justly deserves the deep
feeling of appreciation being voiced by Negro citizens
throughout the state.

charged that he was intoxicated.
Glover agreed to leave as soon as
he found a buddy, whose identity
is unknown get, who would accom-
pany him back to the post. Later
he was accosted again by MP's TO
whom he explained why he still
remained in town. He was there
upon arrested.
A sworn statement made by
Glover, who admits being drunk,
states that the MP's grabbed him
and beat him, but that he doesn't
remember civilian police having
anything to do with his arrest and
beating" Reliable eyewitnesses,
however, saw civilian police club
Glover with night sticks, injrlring
him painfully. Glover had to be
taken to the Medical aid station
where first aid was administered
Still in custody of military po-
Ice, Glover was taken from the
state to the MP patrol car parked
about a block away, Foster, hear
ing of Glover's treatment at the
ands of civilian police, stopped
the arresting MP's to question
them about the incident. His re-
fusing to move away without any
explanation caused the MP's to
attack and arrest him.
FOUGHT OFF ARREST
Foster, determining not to be ar
rested, fought them off. Here con-
fIcting stories are told as to the
rioting mob. White dailies report
ed that "a mob of Negroes was
| aiding Foster" while eyewitnesses
say that Foster was fighting alone
with bystanders looking on.
Six other MPss joined the fight
to subdue Foster, using night
sticks. Civilian policemen, who
followed the MP's throughout the
J alteration, entered the fight and
Sgt Foster was dubbed until he
quoted. BY this time the scene
| had shifted across the street anc
about one-forrth of a block from
the medical aid station in front OF
the Presbyterian church. With his
back against the wall, Foster was
