Negro Voters
POlled Favor
FDR & Willkie

CHICAGO. According to the
July issue of Negro Digest favored
presidential candidates of Negro
voters for 1914 will be Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Wendell Wil1kie.
The magazine has just completed
A thorough canvass of Demo-
cratic and Republican sentiment
shows proponderant support for
both as standard-bearers for 1914.
Virtually all voters agree that
Roosevelt and Willkie have been
pre-eminently fair and understand
ing on the Negro problem and have
done more than any other two men
in high government office to ad-
vance the cause of Negro rights.
Voters of both parties were
asked:
"Whom should Negroes favor for
President in 1944?"
Separate lists of Democratic and
Republican candidates were sub
mitted with these results:
Democratic
Roosevelt $40; Wallace 11%;
McNutt 40; Douglas 230; Farley
20; Winant 20; Byrnes 90.
Republican
Willkie $3.50; Macarthur 1870;
Dewey go; Bricker $50; Stassen
go; Saltonstall 20; Warren 90.
The huge sentiment for the
fourth term among Democrats was
seen mainly as a carry over from
the long time backing that the
Roosevelt family-both the Presi-
dent and the First Lady-has en-
joyed because of its precedent
shattering regard for the Negro
during the New Deal administra-
ton.
The sample poll, taken after
Liberian President Edwin Barclays
visit to the U. S., is also believed
indicative of the support that the
President has won due to his his
toric action in having a Negro sleep
as guest of the White House for
the first time and address congress
for the first time.
The poll marks definite come
back for Mr.. Roosevelt among Ne
groes for his popularity had been
waning since last year due to much
unfavorable publicity in connection
with the ruckus around the Fair
Employment Practices committee,
the jim crow setup in the army and
navy and his efforts to appease
southern bourbon elements on the
race question.
The proponderant support for
Willkie is laid mainly in his I'M
fiinching announcements on the
race question in the past year be-
ginning with the NAACP conven-
ton in Los Angeles in 1912. The
COP nominee of 1910 has strong,
militant hackers among the Negro
population - many who expressed
belief that he was the only Re-
publican candidate who can swing
the large, and in several states de-
cisive, Negro vote back into the
COP camp.
A large number of voters men
toned his book, Zone World" as
an epochal statement, which is a
good omen for the future of the
Negro throughout the world. His
stand against imperialism especial
ly drew favorable remarks.

GRAND JURY MAKES REPORT, kET(HIkAN

The grand jury at Ketchikan, composed of ten women and nine men, completed a nine-day session on Thursday, October 28 and made it's report to Judge George F. Alex ander. The following recommends tions were made in the report signed by M. s. Dobbs, Foreman, and E. B. Houghtaling, Secretary:
 We urge that the Territorial and City liquor laws be strictly enforced, and that the vigilance of the local and Territorial officers be increased, especially now during the time of war, this to apply particularly to those places of business in the so- called restricted area. We feel that if proper enforcement of existing laws is carried out, many of the present evils will be eliminated.
 Our attention has been called to the gambling and sale of liquor going on in the various clubs and bars in the city. This is being car- rled on to such an extent that it has become a serious violation, and in the opinion of this grand jury, the operators of these clubs or those who are in control, should see that these violations cease, and we of the grand jury respectfully call the at tention of the United States At torney to these conditions
 It has been brought to the at tention of the grand jury that the juvenile commitments to the Indian Bureau under the Juvenile Code, as passed by the last Legislature are not. being acted upon as fast as would seem wise. The grand jury would recommend that quicker ac- tion on all such commitments to the Bureau of Indian Affairs be given immediate, necessary attention.

Oh Deor---
We're Short
On Beer

WASHINGTON (FP)-Explain-
ing the current beer shortage, the
OPA said today that beer is being
produced now at a greater rate
than ever before but it falls short
of present demands which are the
highest on record. Breweries have
the capacity to step up production,
bu they can't get any more malt,
without which beer cannot be made.
In addition to the malt limita-
tion,. there are at least two con-
tributing factors in today's beer
shortages = the weather and re-
strictions on gasoline and tires.
The OPA points out that beer con-
sumption is always higher in the
summer than in any other season,
and this summer is no exception.

house, dumped the whole business
on the ground and departed.
Public health laws in Toledo
prohibit dumping of spoiled food
in close proximity to build

apparently the people in the ware

doesn't make much difference to
them.
