barred from the Democratic pri-
maries.
A number of the persons APP
preached for the poll pointed out
that the defeat of such rabid south
ern reactionaries as Starnes Of Ala
bama and the retirement of Dies
of Texas would seem to insure the
president of more whole-hearted
cooperation for the passage of lib
eral legislation, and that Roosevelt's
fourth term seems likely to be his
best yet as far as Negroes are con-
cerned.
Opposition to Roosevelt was
based largely on his continued re-
fusal to take strong stand against
discrimination in the armed forces
and on his allowance of the War De-
partment to break up Negro fighting
units into service battalions. East
ern voters, especially in the states
where Governor Thomas E. Dewey
is thought to be strongest, were
likewise prepOnderantly in favor of
the present incumbent.
The tally among persons ques-
toned showed:

Should Negroes Quit
Roosevelt? Digest
Poll Says No!

The withdrawal of Wen
dell l.. Willkie from the 1914
presidential race has changed
the complexion of political af-
fairs for Negro voters. The
results of a poll conducted by
the Negro Digest exactly one year
ago asking whom Negroes should
support for president showed Will
kie and President Franklin D.
Roosevelt as the overwhelming IA
vorites of the voters.
A vast increase in the percentage
of Roosevelt supporters brought out
in the poll for July is probably
due to a shift of the potential Will
kie vote, though F.D.R, even with
Willkie in the race, was found
last year to have more appeal to
the mass of Negro voters than any
other one candidate.
Even in the South where Ne
groes have additionally voted the
straight Republican ticket voters
were certain that to ignore Roose-
welt at the polls would be against
their best interests. Much of the
growth of the pro-Roosevelt feel
ing among southern voters can be
traced to two factors: the activities
of the CLIO Political Action Com
mittee among labor, and the recent
Supreme Court decision which de-
clared that Negroes cannot be

E. B.: My uncle died some years
ago and the girl he was living with
ne carried insurance on her and he
asked me to keep it up for him.
She left here and l don't know
where she is. Tell me what to do
about the insurance?
Ans: Go to the insurance COM
pany with the policy and see if
there is any cash value to a policy
of this type. If you can realize
anything at all from it, do so. 1t is
useless and risky to carry an in
surance policy on a strange wOm-
an whose whereabouts are I'M
known. Take out a policy on your
own life as a means of saving for
the future.
K. B. s.: haven't words to ex-
press how much enjoy your prob
lens of humanity. I have been
greatly benefited by your answers
to girls of my age. My girl friends
beau became very devoted to me
all of a sudden. I tried to explain
to him how such affairs would
turn out but he had to have his
way. My girl friend has returned
from her vacation. Should we ex-
plain to her how everything hap
pened. Should we continue?
Ans: ALPS fair in love and
war" Since your girl friend has no
direct claims on this boy there is
no reason why you should not ac-
cept his attentions if you wish to
do so. It's bad policy for a girl to
make a habit of enticing her best
girl friends beaus but if this boy
feels that he prefers your company
to hers, the choice is his to make.
E. V. c.: I am a young girl %
years old and l have been going
with a fellow for eight months and
he is a married man. After found
it out l tried to quit him but he
said he is in love with me and he
isn't going to stand for me to quit.
I am planning on leaving town. Do
you think it would be best for me
to leave?
Ans: A change of towns is
recommended in your case. You are
running your chances for happiness
as long as you allow this married
man to bull-dOze you as he is do
ing at the present. When you
make the change :. be very care
full to- keep your whereabouts a
secret for a few months. Get out
of his sight for awhile and you will
soon leave his mind. In the mean
time make other friends and for
get this man entirely.
B. NJ: I wish to know if l may
send in for a 1914 Reading and
free advice on my problems. Tell
me how to write?
Ans: The 1914 Readings are
25c. Be sure to send your birth
date, correct name and address

More On Trek
To The East
By Cecil E. Newman

The query, whether our June
trip to Gotham was our first, may
be answered by reminding our
kidding friends that we ran out of
New York on Pullman sleeping and
parlor cars for three months in
1925. During our service as an
Al Pullman porter (advD, we
visited about AZ of the AZ states
lodging Messrs. Bilbos' and Ran
kins' Mississippi and other points
south.
So you see we've been around a
bit. The fact that these New York
and Chicago notes are so long
drawn out, may be explained by
the lack of space, time and energy
to complete the task begun.
People have asked US about our
impression of the Rev. Adam Clay
ton Powell, Jr. We first saw Powell,
who is editor of the New York
PEOPLES VOICE, at Great Lakes
Naval Training station in March
when editors and publishers were
guests of the Navy for two days.
In the bus enroute to the base, we
had a good chance to size up the
most discussed young man in Ne
gro America. Powell resembles
any other Caucasian, is tall, rather
handsome, and wears the air Of
college man-pipe, tweedy clothes
and all. We can see why he might
appeal to the ladies.
His questioning of Navy public
relations men at the March meet
ing on Navy policy was the high
light of that particular part of the
tour. Powell is praised highly by
many, criticised and damned by
some and has attracted the imagi-

W. F. Jr.: l am in love with a
girl, but when l see other girls l
don't know whether l love her or
not. l think l love her, it seems
that l do, and then l don't. Will
l ever learn to love her by herself
Ans: Don't try E. not at your

That is half the fun of being young.
There will be numbers of girls for
whom you will experience the same
feeling E. and it's better to do your
flirting around before you settle

lance from the Minneapolis branch.
NAACP Organization Work was
the order of the day for both SEES
sions on Saturday.
Twin City Resolutions Get Support
The final item Of business on Sat
urday was the report of the reso-
lutions committee. Possibly the
most revolutionary part of the re-
port was that which had been spon-
sored by the St. Paul, Minnesota
branch in a resolution that de-
clared that the NAACP in its own
organizational functioning should
set the example of organizational
democracy by the widest participa-
ton of the membership as a whole
in the formation of national as well
as local policies"
The resolution from the st. Paul
branch, which was amended in the
meeting of the resolutions commit
tee by motion of Alfred Baker
Lewis, a member of the national
board of directors, makes the find
ings and desires of the national
conference mandatory for a year
and calls for the amending of the
Constitution so as to permit the
election Of at least five members"
of the sixteen on the National
Board of Directors to be chosen
each year by the national confer
ence.
The St. Paul branch resolution
was piloted through the Resolutions
Committee by the president of the
Branch, Rev. c. 7. R. Nelson, who
was a member of the Resolutions
Committee. The Minneapolis and
Duluth branches supported the
resolution as did ten other branches
throughout the nation including the
Detroit branch, the largest in the
Association with more than $4,000
members.
J. R. Simmons, president of the
Duluth Branch, who was a mem
Der Of the Resolutions Committee,
was very active on the floor of
the conference, as was Rev. Nelson,
who received a large vote after be-
ing nominated for the Nominating
Committee of Three for the Ma
tional board of directors.
Public acknowledgment of the
reorganizing Of the Sioux Falls,
S. D., branch last July by Rev.
Nelson through the support of the
S. Paul Branch was made to the
conference by Roy wilkins, associ-
ate secretary of the NAACP, on
Thursday morning after Rev. Mel
son had nominated Miss Lucy Ash
ley of the Sioux Falls Branch for
the Resolutions Committee. Mrs.
\. R. Bridgewater was the second
delegate from the Sioux Falls
branch.
Miss Pearl SkIar, assistant Sec
rotary Of the st. Paul Branch and
one Of the four delegates to the
conference, told the conference
about the plan Of monthly bulletins
mailed each month to each mem
Der on Saturday when ways and
means Of getting the membership
out to monthly meetings was being
discussed.
Delegates From Twin Cities
Other delegates from the St.
Paul branch were Richard L. .
Stokes, vice president, and Mrs. .
AIverta Coram, a member Of the
Executive Board. Mrs. Clarence T. /
R. Nelson and Miss Elizabeth !
Moore were among the visitors to
the conference from the st. Paul /.
branch. The Minneapolis delega-
ton and visitors included Clifford |
Rucker, Mrs. William Penn, Mr.. |
and Mrs. Irving Blumberg and Mr..
and Mrs. Jonas A. Schwartz. The |
conference will meet next year in
Cincinnati, Ohio.

nation of thousands of people. Pas
tor of Abyssinian Baptist Church,
one of the largest congregations
10000 members) in the world-a
position which apparently was
passed down to him in princely sue
cession by the elder distinguished
Rev. A. Clayton Powell, Sr.-the
younger Powell did not content
himself to adorn his pulpit on Sun
day, but launched into a campaign
of civic improvement in Harlem,
"the worlds largest Negro city"
Now headed for Congress-unless
beauteous, capable Sara Pelham
Speaks, woman lawyer, blocks his
way-Powell will be a force where
ever ne goes. He is capable; critics
say he is opportunistic. Some say
he plays to the galleries. What
successful political figure does not :?
Powell walks in picket lines and
keeps close to the heart beat of the
masses of people. Many another
leader could emulate with profit
this attribute.
Powell took part in only one ses-
sion of the New York convention.
Some of the boys thought Adam
Clayton, Jr., was trifle peeved be-
cause the rival New York AM
STERDAM NEWS, convention
host, had engineered a cocktail
party for Governor Thomas E.
Dewey. New York PEOPLES
VOICE, Clayton Powell's paper, is
pro- Roosevelt.
The other Powell, DR.. C. B.,
wealthy publisher, insurance man
and now head man of the Aframeri-
can COP. board of strategy, was
in evidence at three sessions of the
convention. His aides, julius Adams
around too. Adams was the most
and colorful Dan Burley, were
consistent conventioneer.
The Theresa Hotel in New York
is well appointed hostelry. Passing
through its lobby, if you can sit
long enough, you will see many of
the big names of Aframerica. AS
we checked in the hotel on our first
day in town we saw Louise Beavers,
the famous movie player. Later on
in the day we bumped into Henry
Armstrong, the fighter. We saw
Bill Robinson, Ralph Cooper, Flor
ence Negro Year-Book) Murray,
Ferdinand Smith (the union LEADER,
Max Yergan, Muriel Rain, George
S. Schuyler, Liberian Consul Will
liam F. Walker, and a long line of
celebrities passing through the
Theresa lobby. The hotel is clean
and airy. The elevator service is
poor, but all in all it is a nice place
to stop. In fact in New York it is
THE place to stop. Some of the
delegates sojourned at the Hotel
Pennsylvania and at the Hotel Nc
Alpin in downtown New York, but
l think the center of convention
jollity and interest was at the
Theresa in Harlem. Oh, yes, l al
most forgot the female clerks,
switch board operators, ETC., at the
Theresa. And were they easy on
the eyes?
