Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
cit. Col Robert s.. Allen now on active
service with the Army

Neutrality-suspicious. who have
talked to Herbert Hoover lately, in
his skyscraper apartment near the
top of the Waldorf Astoria, New
York City, say that he is absolutely
confident of achieving his No. 2 life
ambition.
His No. / life ambition obviously
was to become President of the
United States. With that behind
him, his ambition ever since March
4, 1893, when he left office with the
banks closing and the nation in
economic turmoil, has been to
achieve comeback. He has put
out of his mind any thought that
he personally might step back into
the White House. But he is deter
mined that his men and his policies
shall get back into power, and that
he shall be the elder statesman to
help manipulate them behind the
scenes.
The men whom he long ago chose
to help achieve this No. 2 ambition
are Governor Tom Dewey of New
York and Governor Earl Warren
of California.
Those who have talked with the
ex-President say that as early as
last September he had begun to
work out plans by which Dewey
would be drafted at the Republican
National Convention, and by which
Governor Warren of California
would be his running mate.
To that end, Hoover began some
time ago laying tn groundwork to
keep the California delegation out
of WILKES hands-no easy job in
state where Willkie has very
large following. But Hoover seems
to have done it.
Also he has quietly corralled the
leading backstage monetary figures
of the Republican Party and lined
them up solid for Dewey. One by
one he has seen to it that leading
Republicans who didn't know Dewey
got chance 70 know him, or were
otherwise sold on him.
1t has been meticulous, palms.
taking process. But Hoover's friends
say it is just about finished and
that he is absolutely confident that
shortly before the Chicago conven-
ton the stage will be absolutely set
with Dewey and Warren as good as
in.
Thus will come about the fulfill
ment of Herbert Hoover's 11-year-
old ambition, an ambition he has
nursed ever since the tumultuous
days when he left the White House
in March, 1888. went to the Wal
dorf- Astoria and waited there for
Roosevelt to call him in for con-
sultation on how to revamp the
country.
Hoover was never called. And he
has been waiting, watching, plan

Thoughts On Election and Our Children
Nov. IL, 1914

Nov. IL, 1914
Editor: Now that the election is
over and we can resume our every
day activities without a partisan
attitude, am of the opinion that
compliments are in order for three
members of our race who should
be considered for their unselish
contributions to the local Negro
community.
Rev. Robert Kelly certainly
should be handed a bouquet" since
it is evident that he was seeking
no political favors for his campaign
work for the reelection of the
president who has proven by his
past acts that he is the greatest
friend the Negro has had in the
White House.
You, Mr.. Editor, are another:
For l can ascertain no personal
advantage for you in your support
of the reelection of President
Roosevelt since most periodicals
seemed to convey the impression
that their very existence depended
upon the election of Thomas E.
Dewey.
am reserving my last express
sion of commentator for an, indi-
vidual, who even though he has
received no appreciable amount of
cooperation from his community,
still continues his gallant fight to
cope with potentially dangerous
situation that is very much neg
lected by most of US.
The man is Clarence Hughes
The situation child delinquency. 1t
seems that we adults have forgot
ten that as children there were
many times that we had the desire
for group activity. 1t is probably
the most natural want of a normal

PLAIN TALK

ton is a full-hedged proposition
with officers, members, ETC., ETC.,
and differing in organizational
scope as the myriad religious sects
that exist and flourish on the side
streets of our principal cities.
Our fight is for unity of thought
and object. To achieve that aim, We
must sacrifice much which is mere
personal ambition and desire for
power or acclaim and get together
on solid, all-important program
for advancement of every Negro,
big and small, black or mulatto,
rich or poor, erudite or ignorant,
for none of US can move one step
forward as a Negro unless we take
every poor, sharecropping Negro
in the South along with US.
Need Common Unified Front
Our point is to be unified in
common front of solidarity. where
the white man is concerned. There
should not be among US those who
can be picked out, taken upon the
mountaintop and shown the world
by the white man as a price for
selling out the rest of US. These
unworthy Negroes should and must
be promptly weeded out and exter-
minated insofar as power or in
fiuence among US is concerned. The
day when Negroes sought out a
Good white man" to show them
favors and elevate them above
their black brethren has passed.
Into being has come a new day
when Uncle Toms" are being
choked to death by their own red
bandannnas and aunt Dinah" has
almost disappeared as to her power
in influencing the rest of US.
If it is easy for the German, the
British, the French, the Jew, the
Irish, the Swede, the Pole, the
Belgian, or the Greek to get to-
gether on a common objective of
expressing or exploiting Negroes,
then it is high time we get to-
gether ourselves. In reality we
have a natural reason in getting
together since we have a common
bond of unity and Identification in
the color of our skin. They are
separated by language, religion,
politics and economics. We are
forced together because of color
and if we don't press that ad-
vantage, we cannot blame the white
man for getting together when we
are the subject of discussion.

when expression is about to be
given to this pent-up energy in the
forms of games by children who

meets with verbal protests from
some of the residents. On two occa-
sions l have in mind, the police
have been summoned.

Labor For Equality
November IL, 1914.
Editor: l have greatly enjoyed
reading your paper for the past
year. The pictures of life-social,
religious, economic and political
that it presents are reminders to
me that my own point of view,
much as l seek to broaden it, is still
inadequate. / wish that thousands
of snug folk who still cling to the
foolish notion of race superiority
could read your journal until they
could understand that just as the
blood of all peoples is identical in
composition, so are the brains, and
that given the same training, if
they are normal to begin with, they
will become the basis of the same
mental and spiritual attainment.
1 sincerely hope-and honestly
believe-that with this victory over
the forces Of reaction that charac-
terizes the recent election, the
dark-skins among us-Indians, Ne
groes, REPRESENTATIONS and
brunettes from southern Europe
will press forward toward the
prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus"-which is another
way of saying toward absolute
equality. To this end l have already
labored and 1 shall continue to
labor with my brothers of all
kinds. If there is anything can
do to further the cause, trust
that I shall be called upon to do it.

Editor: l enjoy very much
getting your paper. AS you said
in your talk before the mems
club at the Church of the Redeem

cover enough of the news relating

I'm sorry that you couldn't see
your way clear to recommend Wal

seems to me he is one of the sim
cerest men we have ever had in

other side of the fence politically
from you but in some of your other
