POLITICAL HORIZON
By ROBERT T. SMITH

We wonder sometimes why
our servants in Public Office
don't introduce more bills to
discourage discrimination.
Not long ago Rep. Lawrence
Davis of Everett, on behalf of
the Everett colored Citizens
League, introduced a bill before
the legislature to end the dis
elimination in the training of
nurses. He also, through his
own efforts and that Of his CO.
horts, was successful in getting
the bill passed by the lower
body.
Now, he is a successful nom
inee for Mayor of Everett.
Would you not give a man
who has the courage to fight
for you your support? Everett
Colored Citizens League did
not. They endorsed his oppon-
ent, the president of the league
stating that his opponent look
ed like q sure winner.
If we expect to get anywhere
in politics, We have got to sup
port those who take a fearless
stand in our behalf.
I urge all the colored voters
Of Everett to vote on Nov. 2 for
Lawrence Davis as their next
Mayor. We owe it to him.
In Ward 9. Boston, Joseph
Fitzgerald is a candidate for
Ward Councilman. Fitzgerald
is the man who formed an or
ganization in behalf of Laur-
enee Banks for Representative
last fall. He also made a sub
stantial contribution to Banks
Campaign fund.

of the ward came out open

There are no colored candl-
dates in the field. Here is an
other chance for the colored
people to show their apprecia-
ton by giving young Fitzgerald
a vote for Ward 9 Councillor.
