The Negroes of this country
are better off today than ever
before. We are holding better
jobs. There is less discrimination
and less lynching than ever be-
fore. All the common people are
better off than ever before. For
these reasons we should vote the
Democratic ticket and help retain
our social gains. We should
vote the Democratic ticket and
help put an end to wars. When
your son or mine is killed in
battle, his life is not only gone.
1t is long gone, and we who loved
him are left behind with aching
hearts. What, we ask, has he
ever done to deserve such a
tragic end? Mothers, wives,
sweethearts and sisters should
seriously consider this.
ask you in all sincerity, don't
vote yourself back to Hooverism
with its breadlines, soup kitchens
and hobo junglcs. Don't vote for
a party that perjures itself by
not telling the truth about the
facts and issues of the campaign.
Pay no attention to their argu-
ment about fourth term. They
opposed Roosevelt just as vigor-
ously for his first term as they
oppose him today. 1t is not the
term, 1t Is not the man Roose-
welt they oppose; 1t is the pro
gram he represents. Vote the
straight democratic ticket and
take no chances on losing what
you have gained. II will pay di-
vidends to us all in the end.
Thanks in advance. and on No

member of the Industrial board,
and Richard L. Baltimore
as the workmen.s compensation
claims referee. These are just a
few of Dewey's appointments, but
they are sufficient to demon
strate what the man has done,
and what he is likely to do as
president. And let me call your
attention too ne important fact.
These Negroes were appointed to
serve the public, not just Me-
groes who might be referred to
them. Mr.. Dewey recognized
reir ability as professional peo-
pie.
I have looked in vain for any
similar appointments made by
Mr.. Roosevelt when he was gov
ernor of New York. AS presi-
dent he has made some, but they
have been appointments of Ne
groes to serve Negroes alone. The
appointees are advisors to this or
that executive on Negro affairs.
AS advisors they are compelled
to remain on the perimeter of
affairs and are not allowed in the
inner circle of government af-
fairs. You remember the resig-
nation of Judge William HASTE
from such an appointment be
cause he felt 1t was an insult to
his dignity as man, and to his
ability as one of the country's
ablest attorneys. This is all we
have gotten from the Democrats
and this is all we can hope to
get from them in the future.
Mr.. Dewey has proven he
thinks of the Negro. Further
than that he promises to not only
continue this practice, If elected.
but also to adjust many of the
inequalities in our government
practices that have been inaug-
urated by the Democrats, such as
segregation in the army and navy
and the entire list of injustices
in our economic system. These
are important points, so import
ant that they should seal secure
ly the Negro vote without any
further argument.
Governor Bricker, the vice
presidential nominee, likewise
has given recognition to Negroes
in public service. Senator Tru-
man, the Democratic nominee for
vice president, is just the oppo-
site; he is a Southern Democrat.
Need l say more?
| cannot too strongly urge the
Negro to vote the Republican
ticket. In voting Republican you
will be opening the doors of la
Dor, you will be opening the
doors to agriculture. you will be
opening the doors to strike
against segregation and discrim-
nation; you will be opening the
doors of public free transporta-
ton, and you will be opening the
doors for equal educational OPP
portunities for our group in the
South through federal aid. Vote
the Republican ticket.

said of it, 1.-THE net result would

publican party, having no con-
structive program either foreign
or domestic, has resorted to a
campaign of misrepresentation
and smear. They attempt to mis-
represent everything that Presi-

quote everything he says. And
every one who is not a Republi-
can, they call a Communist.
They reluctantly admit that all

Bank Insurance. aid to the blind,
unemployment insurance, public
assistance to needy, old age as
sistance, adequate housing, child
welfare service and many other
things that they know would be
political suicide to oppose. They
say in effect, we have been ostra-
cized from power for twelve long
years. We think we deserve a
pardon or parole. We will not
change any of the laws the DEM
oerats have passed. Please give
us another chance. We will do
better next time. Ask one of
them why Mr.. Hoover did not
stop the banks from failing or
recommend some of the social
reforms as President Roosevelt
did? They change the conversa-
ton.
To the Negro voters of the
country this is the payoff. Mr..
Dewey knowing that he would be
the Republican nominee, and
realizing that Negroes hold the
balance of power in the absence
of a landslide in ten of the larg-
est states, suddenly began to
appoint Negroes to some very
good jobs in the state of New
York. The Republican National
Committee called in hundreds of
Negro orators and sent them
around the country to campaign
for the Dewey ticket. All that
these Negro orators have to tell
their race is that Abraham Lin

we will be ungrateful If We do
not vote the Dewey ticket. Some
of them have taken up the white

During this series of articles
l have tried to bring the per-
sonality of the two candidates
into sharp focus in order that
you might study the background
and determine the character OF
the man who will get your vote.
We admit that Mr.. Roosevelt mas

personality, and measure of
personal charm, but these attri-
butes have not proven adequate
enough to stay the tide of Demo-
cratic hatred that has grown
strong enough with twelve years
of continuous power. have
shown you how Mr.. Roosevelt.
with all his personal charm and
individual prestige, has had to
bow to the will OF these southern
Democrats. You recall full well
how these southern Democrats
put over another rank south
erner, Senator Truman, instead
of electing the gentleman, Vice
President Wallace, for the run
ming mate of Mr.. Roosevelt de-
spite the fact that Roosevelt
greatly favored Mr.. Wallace. You
know without my saying so how
the President has lost his hold
over Congress and you know the
dangers involved IN such a sit
uation. If these Democrats are
reelected for a fourth term, bed
lam will break loose in Congress
and the full force of southern
hatred will be focused against
the Negro.
On the other hand we have
brought before you the record of
Mr.. Thomas e. Dewey. He does
not come forth with a host of
weazel words and beautiful
phrases that mean absolutely
nothing when 1t comes to per-
Torrance. Rather Mr.. Dewey is
man of action, and his acts
speak more nobly than any
words. Let me review for you
again the recognition Mr.. Dewey
has given the Negro in the
higher ckets of service
throughout his political career.
What more eloquent plea does
the Negro want than the recog-
milton OF his dignity as a man,
and of his ability to execute pro-
fessional tasks with efficiency?

as District Attorney of New York

Move Made to Clarity SnorIs
When Veterans Seek Old Jobs

BY the Associated Press.
The Attorney Generals Office is
preparing an opinion designed to
clear up some of the intricate ques-
tions certain to arise when service
men and women return home in
force and apply for their old jobs.
The right of returning service per-
sonnel to their prewar employ

position-was written into the orig
inal Selective Service Act of 1910,
like this:
"If such position was in the en-

employer shall restore such person
to such position or to a position of
like seniority, status, and pay un-
less the employers circumstances
have SO changed as to make it i'm

By the Associated Press.
Under a plan being studied by
Maritime Commission officials, 1,0OC
Liberty ships would be placed in a
postwar reserve for use in case OF
another war.
Five hundred would be kept ready
to man, fuel and sail. The machin-
cry of the others would be packed
in grease, but they could be readied
quickly.
The plan is regarded by the COM
missions Postwar Planning Com
mittee as a starting point toward
disposition of the Liberties, which
the committee considers primarily
war-useful vessels.
Another 1000 Liberties would have
to be disposed of otherwise. That
figure is based on 2,700 scheduled to
have been put in service by the end
of this year, and 500 or more to be
lost or hopelessly damaged by the
end of the war.
A considerable market for the TO-
knot vessels is expected on trade
routes which cannot support faster
and more expensive ships.

Tax Relief Forecast
By Snyder as Result
OF Army 'Kickback'
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A lessening of the tax burden in
the near future was envisaged today
by Representative Snyder, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania as the result
of a $33,6o7, ,263 300 'kickback" in
War Department appropriations.
THE turn of the war in our favor
during the last IL months means a
huge saving to the Taxpayers" Mr.
Snyder said. He is chairman of an
Appropriations subcommittee CON-
sidering the $40 9,283 ,916,500 War De-
partment budget for the next fiscal
year.
by the amount appropriated and
not needed" he said, "the cost of
the war has been reduced and the
reduction should be reflected in a
lowering of taxes"
The Army's 1944-5 budget, sent to
the Capitol yesterday by President
Roosevelt, calls for an appropriation
of s15,676, ,652, ZOO in new funds, plus
reappropriation of 3,607 1868 800 of
unobligated balances from current
appropriations. The total compared
with approximately $71,000, ,000, 900
appropriated this year, including
about $4,000, 100000 in unobligated
balances left over from last year.
Deducting from the $71 600, 900 900
the $33,607 ,263, 800 not used, Ne
Snyder explained, leaves around
s37, 900 ,O00, 900 as the cost of the war
this year.
Two major items-curtailment of
requirements and reductions in
prices-accounted for the bulk of the
savings.
AS the Snyder subcommittee moved
ahead with consideration of the big
war bill, the House began debate on
the "GI bill of rights" which is
expected to add an estimated So
600, 900, 900 to $4,000, 900, 900 to overall
war costs.
