and unfettered elections in 1916

ment said it had made clear that
the question of any. further credit
would be considered ''in the light of
the fulfillment of the assurance
given"

to Poland that his country was in
terested in further financial assist
ance.

while this government was sur

regime to carry out its promise to

cern was not about any particular
date, but that the voting should
actually be free.

Terry Pettus and Charles Carroll,
Rev. Davis received organized

A trifle tired after a strenuous

good spirits in an early morning
interview, during which he made
the following statements in re-
gard to the past campaign and
any future ones.
His future political plans were
undecided, he said. However, he

FRANCES CHANDLER
BRUTALLY BEATEN

Frances Chandler, II, was near
death in King County Hospital af-
ter being brutally beaten by a
mysterious assailant in an alley
near her home.
Frances Chandler, 2O14 E.
Cherry ST., was suffering from
head injuries, hospital attendants
said. There was no evidence of
criminal assault. The child
daughter of Mrs. Maxine Chand-
Ter, was discovered by Mrs. Aman-
da Riley. 61S Goth Ave, about
6:15 p. m.
Mrs. Riley told Patrolmen w.
F. Hill and r. NJ. Anderson that
she heard the girl scream and
when she went to investigate she
saw a man wearing a tan overcoat
leaving the scene hurriedly.
Deceive Its. Sam Stearns and
Leo Hemler found the blood-cov-
cred metal handle of a socket
wrench in the alley 20 feet from
where the child was beaten. The
girl was left lying in a crumpled
cardboard box.
The alley in which she was beat
en- is between Goth and 21st Ave.
and James and Terry Streets, the
officers said.
The girl had been visiting her
aunt. Mrs. Lily Jones. 319 21st
Ave, her mother said.

The return to office of every
incumbent who filed for reelec-
ton was a citation for meritor-
ious service. The mayor won the
Distinguished Service Cross for
having successfully survived three
campaigns. And he deserved it, if
for no other reason than his ap-
pointment of the Mayors Civic
Committee whose service to the
city can never be paid in coin.
And, too, the mayor and police
department, undermined, faced
some tense situations. Thousands
of whites and blacks from the
deep south came in droves and
brought their habits and customs
with them. The southerners were
loathe to part with their customs;
ON the other hand, Seattle would
not accept them. The mayor, the
Mayors Civic Committee, the

out of our difficulties and per-
plexities.
If anyone thought that Seattle
would lose it's head. they may
now think again.
What is true of the mayors
election is true of the incumbent
councilmen. Their opponents chose
to oppose the most popular men
in the council. To assure the in
cumbents that Seattle was ready
to face Greater Municipality,
every proposal for civic improve
ment was readily approved.
The Rev. F. Benjamin Davis
vote in the finals can only be
looked on as a compliment. One
thing, he is intelligent, capable
and only such as he has a right
to seek election to any office.
We would like to see the Rev.

freeing him economically so that
he may develop all the talents
and capabilities the good Lord
gave him and by making it pos
sible for him to hold any job for
which those capabilities fit him.
No, the personal prejudices of
such men as Senator Bilbo are
not only a spiritual blot on our
civilization. they are an economic
drain on the purse of the whole
nation. The monumental size of
the national debt requires that
every able bodied man and woman
in the United States must produce
to his fullest capacity. if we are
ever to free ourselves of that stag
gering burden. In the face of such
necessity the personal hatreds
of the Bilbos are too expensive
for the nation to afford any long
er. We can no longer pay for such
Democratic juvenile delinquencies.

Tennessee rioting in Maury Coun-

sent to every NAACP chapter
throughout the United States:
Two Negroes were shot to death
in the Maury County Jail in Co.

and 102 others including virtually
every business, church and civic
leaders of Columbia have been ar
rested and charged with "rioting"
or attempted murder. Within three
hours after the invasion of the
Negro section of Columbia, Feb
ruary 26, by heavily armed state
troopers, the NAACP was ON the
job. Enclosed is a statement of
facts, all of which have been care
fully checked as the attitude of
the state and city officials per-
mitted. (The statement was sub
stantially the same as that given
by the Nashville Globe, and print

action can prevent even further

their lives and homes against mob
violence.
