FILM "BADMAN'S TERRITORY" HAT
 CAPITOL SUNDAY

Telling a gripping story of the
 days when the Oklahoma Pan
 handle was a true No-mans Land
 and a haven for most of the Vests
 outlaws, RKO Radios big adven-
 ture romance, "Badman's Terri 1 tory" stars Randolph Scott. Ann
 Richards and George "Gabby
 Hayes at the head of distin-
 guished cast. This picture starts
 Sunday at the Capitol Theatre. Scott as Texas sheriff, lays
 aside his badge to go into the
 region in search of his reckless younger brother Miss Richards is
 cast as an impetuous newspaper
 woman striving to join with the
 rest of Oklahoma in petitioning
 Congress for full territorial status, and eventual Statehood Not only do the outlaws and
 their hangers-on prefer to keep
 the area free from Federal super vision, but the prosperous cattle
 men also enjoy their freedom from l regulation and taxes.
 This brings about a dramatic conflict between the opposing for ces, against which is painted the
 vivid activities of the James Boys, the DaltonS and other famous ban dits of the era, and the stormy love affair between the sheriff and the heroine.
 An exciting horse-race, d train robbery and the thrill-laden re- creation of the Dalton's memorable Coffeyville raid also lend color and authenticity to the unusual tim.
 Hayes plays tte part of whim- sical associate of the James and Dalton gangs. Lawrence Tierney, James Warren, Ray Collins, Nestor Paiva, Steve Brodie, Morgan Con- way, Isabel Jewell, Tom Tyler, Virginia Sale, Emory Parnell and other well-known players have , prominent roles.

A Pitiful Showing

pitiful 10 say the least
To think that oniy little more than Il per cent Of
the voters interested enough in who their judges
would bo 10 cast a ballot.
Negro we're Just az derelct in their duty as
white voters indifference IS respector Of persons

For the first time in history Negro was running for
Judge of the Common pleas Court He was designated
qualified for iudgeship by the civic Searchght a
group whose opinions are highly respected Yet not
even enough voters turned out TO nominate him. The
opportunty golden With light vote is possible
to nominate almost amy candidate if there fair turn
out Of an organized group But the moment has been
lost
What can YOU say TO people that will arouse them 10
vote Has living IN fair comfort and eating three times
day made them too selfsatisfied? Must they suffer the
hardshps hunger nconyiences and wholesale slaughter
ngs that nations have in order to appreciate the
right and privilege Of exercising the ballot?
Maybe II someone introduced a bill into the legsa-
ture forbddng Negroes vote they have the white
primary in Georgia, then Michigan Negroes would wake
up Maybe even those who had never voted would be in
spired to struggle for this privilege they had long neg
lected
Evidently drastic is going to be necessary
to stir voters out Of their ethargy What is going to
be rs hard to but let hope they learn their lesson
before too late and have live through some of the
Dreadful experiences that other peoples have who have
been denied the right to vote.
