Norman Riddell Files
For County Clerk

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, 48
years ago; Lived in King County
20 years; Owns home at 1906 E.
Greenlake Way; Has wife and
three children. Oldest son Nor
man recently received commission
in u. s. Army; Chief Deputy
County Clerk since January, 1885;
Mr.. Riddelrs statement:
1.-THE office of County Clerk and
the position of Chief Deputy Coun-
ty Clerk are so closely related
that no administration can be
judged without considering both.
State law prohibits the present
Clerk from running for reelection,
therefore it is necessary for the
Chief Deputy to file for the office
in order to give the voters a chance
to pass upon the present admin
istration.
During this administration the
office has been conducted at a
substantial saving to the taxpayer
without reduction of wages or cur
tailment of service"
] am filing for the position of
County Clerk because I believe I
am in the best position to contin-
lie the type of service we have
rendered during the past seven
and one'half years, with the train
ed personnel that has rendered
that service.
A prominent Race man whose
business makes him a frequent
patron of the County Clerks Of
flee said: mr.. Riddle is a very
fine public officer whose sole am
bition is to serve the public. The
judiciary which looks to his Of
flee for much service, speaks very
favorably of him. He certainly is
worthy of our most favorable con-
] sideration."

Negroes Sore Tried With American
Democracy, Says Wendell Willkie

LOS ANGELES Americans
are learning says Wendell Willlxie,
that the test of a people is their
aim, not their color. He told the
closing session of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People yesterday that
the attitude of white American
citizens toward the Negro has
"some of the unlovely and tragic
characteristics of alien imperial
ISM"
"You have been sore tried with
many of the practices of our DEM
ocracy," the 1910 Republican pre-
sidential candidate said, "and it
Is right and just that you should
be alert to every opportunity to
remove the determinations that
exist against your people,"

Willkie charged white Ameri-
cans with a "smug sense of racial
superiority and a willingness to
exploit an unprotected people, !"
but said that under the pressure
of war, long-standing barriers and
prejudices were breaking down.
Pointing to Germany, Italy and
Japan, Willkie declared: This for
midable militaristic array is bound
together by no relationship except
a common desire for conquest and
plumber. 1t is an alliance of i'm
perialism. 1t is an alliance self
condemned and self-doomed. For
even IL it should achieve victory, it
must by its very nature turn upon
itself for a final orgy of slaughter
to determine which imperialism is
to have the final ascendancy."

Candli's Star
Rises

Far more significant, however,
is the fact that Gandhi, who is at
least as influential in India today
as Roosevelt, Stain, and Hitler
are in their respective lands, does
not believe that subjugation by
Japan is the only alternative to
defense by the arms of British
ers, or Indians, or both. Gandhi's
program is to use non-violent, nom
cooperation against Japanese in
vasion as he did against British
occupation. The India National
Congress has recently, by an over
whelming vote, acknowledged his
leadership and adopted his pro-
gram.
In recent years there have al
ways been those who feared that,
in order to secure independence
for India or to safeguard its soil
or interest in war, Gandhi would
compromise his non-violence pro-
gram or that refusing to do this,
he would voluntarily, or perforce
turn over leadership to someone
like Nehru who would compro-
mise. Others have feared that,
holding "dogmatically" to non
violence, he would jeopardize the
struggle for independence when
it reached it's climax, or that In
dia's pacifism would make it an
easy prey to an invader.
1t is now clear that Gandhi has

The grazing slightly-built Neg
no related his story calmly at his

Georgia valley where he works
and relaxes between concert sea-

The incident started, Hayes
