Singing club "Jadran' isl
calling to all singers, young and
old, to join them. !
Where are all the young men
and girls who used to belong to-
the Juvenile singing club?|
Where are you keeping your
selves? In Europe the boys and
girls would be proud if they
could sing without persecution,
but here it seems that as soon
as our young generation grows
up they forget that it is their
privilege to sing and speak the
Slovene language. Why forget
your mother tongue? Are you
not proud when you can speak
in Slovene when with the older
crowd? You should see how
proud they are when they hear
the younger generation talking
in Slovene or singing in the ma
tive tongue of their parents. |
know that many of you say {:
"Why join singing club?
What can | learn there?' But
to tell the truth there are many
boys and girls who have learned
the Slovene language thru our
chorus. I know, for | have heard
them, and you'd be surprised
also to hear them. So why not
join our ranks?
Two hours a week used for
rehearsals you would really
not miss, and imagine the en-
joyment you would get by at
! tending them. So come Tues
day at 800 o'clock p. m. to
| the Slovene Workmen's Home.
Waterloo Rd. Rehearsals are
held every Tuesday. Let's see
how many new faces we will
have in our midst? Everybody
is cordially invited, young and
old. Let's make our dear moth
ers and dads proud of us when
they will hear us sing old
fashioned songs that mother
sang to us. Hope to see you

U. S. Bottleship Nomed After Americans
SIovene Hero, Milton Povlic

ing notice with the news of his
death: ellis reputation in the
Navy was such that you and
your children can be proud OF
him. He distinguished himself
i'm all his duties and looked,
unafraid, into the face of death.
His contribution to the defeat
of the enemy was not small. Do
not think for a minute that his
death was in vain. When heroes
and their glories will be spoken
of, remember that he is one of
them. We owe him much"
1t has been reported that his
ship had sunk at least three
enemy battleships and its can
ons shot 80 enemy planes down
into the sea.
He is survived by his wife,
two children, his parents (Mr.
and Mrs. Tomaz Pavlic), and
six sisters.
1t. Comm. Pavlic was a con-
scientious Slovene and proud of
his mother tongue, and as such
was a good example to our
American-born youth. He often
stated that he was Giving on
borrowed time"
The body of 1t. Comm. Paw
! lie was buried in watery grave
on the day of his death but
! America, to show it's gratitude
and to keep his memory alive,
last December named a newly
built battleship after him, the
u. S. S. Pavlic! It was chris
tened by his widow.
Today our U. S. Navy has a
battleship bearing the name of
faithful son of our Slovene
nationality. May it carry on 1t.

til freedom and victory for the
whole world is achieved.

DE GRIEF IS OLD
TIMER in STATE

Judge Roy De Grief, promi-
nent Seattle attorney, is conduct
ing an extensive campaign for
Justice of the Peace municipal
Judge of Seattle). He has been
the assistant municipal judge of
Seattle for more than two years,
and his friends and colleagues
feel he is well qualified for the
position he seeks.
He has been a resident of the
State of Washington for AZ years
and is a native of Iowa. While
in his teens he worked in the
harvest fields, mills, and rail-
roads of Washington, and later
graduated from Whitman College
and the University of Washington
Law School. While in college he
was prominent in athletics, star
ring both on the baseball team
ana FOOTBALL team. Since gradu-
ating from Law School he has
practiced law in Seattle for 90
years, being a member of the
American Legion, Moose Lodge
and the Eagles. He has also been
a member of Beta Theta Pi Fra
ternity for % years, and has
been president of the Iowa Club
of Seattle for the past seven
years.
Judge De Grief believes that
our courts should be courts of
law and not of personalities. He
also believes that our courts are

partially the merits of the re-

from New York State. Both have
served as governors of New York

the careers of the two men. II
is on the basis of performance
not on the basis of promises
that we have come to this de-

In 1882, The New York Age
urged the voters to defeat Her
bert Hoover because of his acts
and policies which we thought
were inimical to the best inter-
ests of the Negro and also the
masses of this country. In 1874,
we urge the voters to defeat
Thomas e. Dewey, who is being
backed by the same Herbert Hoo
yer and the same die-hards who
at election time masquerade as
our friends, but who are in re-
ality our enemies.
Negroes have made too much
progress in their fight for first
class citizenship under President
Roosevelt to trust the future to

Immediately left for his home in
Massachusetts, rather than remain
to attend the Inauguration of
Jefferson and Burr never forgave
Hamilton for throwing the cleo
lion to Jefferson and this was a
factor in the duel later which
cost Hamilton his life.
All this time there was no
nominating or national conveu-
tions, and no platforms. 1t was
plain that the method of election
was faulty and in Jefferson's
first term the Constitution was
amended to provide that prcsi-
dent and vice-president should
be voted for separately in the
Electoral College.
Nominations now gradually
came to be made by legislatures,
and by other informal bodies.
Political parties were lining up
as between the agrarians of the
country and the capitalists of the
cities. by the time that Jackson
was elected for his first term
political parties became some
what stabilized and a nominal
ing convention put forward Jack
son for his second term. Since
that time nominating conven-
tions, platforms and political
parties have played a great part
in the election of the president.
Another development in the
election of president came about
through state laws which pro-
vided for a presidential prefer
ence primary. In this primary
voters in a state indicated their
choice for president and the
electors we're pledged to accept
the choice of the voter in voting
in the Electoral College. Twenty
two states passed this law includ-
ing Oregon ((the first state TO
do so in 191O) and California
in 1912. Texas passed it later
but it was held unconstitutional.
Four OF the 22 states afterward
repealed the law.

HOW THE PRESIDENTS ARE ELECTED:
ELECTORAL COLLEGE Less IMPORTANT

Alexander Hamilton wanted
the president of the United
States appointed for life, but the
Constitutional Convention de-
cided on an Electoral College,
that is a body of men chosen
from each state as the Legisla-
ture of that state should decide
that they be chosen, to meet to
gether and vote for president and
vice-president. Each state should
have as many votes In the Elec-
toral College as it had members
Of Congress including both the
house and the Senate. Several
states had these electors chosen
by popular vote and otheHs al
lowed the legislature to nams
them.
The Constitution provided that
after the votes were in that man
having the highest vote should
be the president and the next
highest should be the vice-presi-
dent. There were no nominating
conventions, no platforms, no ma
tional conventions in the early
days of the Republic.
Washington won the unani-
nous vote for president for the
first two terms and John Adams
the vice-presidency. In the third
election John Adams, Federalist
won the office of president and
his opponent, Jefferson, the DEM
ocrat Though then called the
Republican, won the office of
vice-president. 1t began to ap-
pear that this form of election,
would often bring into office two
men of opposite political views.
When the fourth election took
place, in 1900, Adams fully ex-
, pected to win a second term, bat
under the electoral system JEFF
ferson and Aaron Burr tied for
first place with 7S electoral
votes each. This, according 10
the terms of the Constitution,
threw the election into the House
of Representatives where each
state now had only one vote.
Hamilton had a great influ-
enee with the Federal members
of the House and he thoroughly
hated both Jefferson and Burr,

paper has supported the Repub-
lican presidential nominees. In
1892 when we supported Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt in prefer
ence to Herbert Hoover, we edi-
torially announced that that step
was taken conscientiously. It
was our conviction that we were
serving the best interests of the
country and the masses by urg-
ing Roosevelt's election and Hoo
vers' defeat.
A radical departure from near
ly 60 years of political tradition
Is no easy matter; 1t requires
mature consideration and deep
thought. Our chief interests in
this very important compaIgn
are: the general welfare of the
United States and the promotion
Of the best interests of its Ne
gro citizens.
Motivated by these paramount
considerations, The New York
Age recommends unreservedly to
its readers and friends the re-
election of Franklin Delano Roo
sevelt as president of the United
States.
We believe that on the basis of |
his past performance, President
Roosevelt is the man for the
country in general and the Negro
in particular. Although progress
has not been as rapid as it could
have been in the Negroes fight |
for full citizenship and for all |
that goes with first class citizen
ship as provided in the Constitu-
ton, nevertheless, we must rec
ognize the incontrovertible fact
that Negroes, other minority
groups and the man in the street,
have been benefited more under
President Roosevelt than under
any other president since Eman-
cipation.
The New York Age feels 1t is
