WENDELL WTLLKIE,
THOMAS E. DEWEY


No; Wendell Willkie did not
toss his hat in the ring. The
people tossed it in for him. When
the people speak, politicians will
never be able to Vancouver them
selves into a position TO outhanf
them. No people are more intel
ligent.
The people realize this war
must be fought to the end. Now
that they are in they want to
remain i'm il until the Axis world
bows to the will of the Allies
unconditional surrender. No more
and no less. The boys overseas
and under, demand this.
The people at home are of the
same mind. They are willing to
back the attack. They are will
ing to give till ii hurts. They
are willing to pay whatever tax
the government may impose. All
they do ask is that the govern
ment does not make its demands
a cross word puzzle with the in
junction, "You Figure This Out"
The government at Washington
is nothing more than another
Tower of Babel. The cabinet is
confused; the army is confused:
the navy is confused; congress is
confused. In fact, confusion rules
every alphabetical agency. The
people are seeking. some way out
of their confusion and difficult
ties.
Two great luminaries light the
eastern horizon. Either stands
ready to lead the way. Never
before in history has so great an
opportunity come to any political
party as that which the gods have
thrust in the lap of the Repub-
lican party.
Listen Republicans:
Today, opportunity has paved
the way for the Republicans to
return to power. Born in travail,
nursed by Gods own good man,
Abraham Lincoln, you became the
party of the people. In you the
hopes and fears of the people
were eentered. The Emancipa-
ton Proclamation gave you
duty to perform, when it left the
Negro on your doorstep. That
duty has become n burden. You
consoled yourselves by weaving
the Negro and throwing him
few crumbs upon which to exist.
Thanks to your crumbs of charity,
and your pot likker, he still lives
and thrives. With it all he still
served you. You finally closed
the door of opportunity to him.
1t took three revelations to
convince Peter that Gentiles were
as acceptable to God as Jews. 1t
took three presidential elections
to convince Republicans that Ne
gro voters are a mighty big stick
in any mans campaign. Ne
groes may not have much to say
in the choice of a candidate for
president, but he is going to say
a mouthful as to who is going to
be elected.
We Predict:
The Negro is on his way back
to the Republican party. He is
now waiting at the cross roads.
He has already made up his mind
as to who his flag bearer is go
ing to be. That flag bearer must
be Mr.. Wendell WilIloie or Gov
ernor Thomas Il. Dewey.
We predict that Governor
Dewey is going to serve the state
of New York for the duration
that Governor Dewey is going to
follow the will of the people and
support Wendell Willkie, retain
ing his title, Crown Prince of the
COP.
when Willkie boldly charges
that "the Democratic administra-
tion is controlled by the Poll Tax
states, and that from Secretary
of State Cordell Hull down, the
South is represented in Washing
ton by men who are elected tc
office by as few men as 6 pei
cent of the voters. In New York
45 per cent of the people vote.
Why wouldn't Negroes demand
that he be nominated. We have
81 other reasons equally as pc
tent.
If you doubt our predictions
Mr.. Republicans, and Negroes dc
not get their flag bearer, We viii
wager all the wheat in Kansas
you will wander in the wilder
ness for four more long years.
