terrific upset in Hudson County
threw the balance of voting power
into the victory powder keg last
Tuesday night and blew Gov. AL
fred E. Driscoll into his second
term as governor Of the state of
New Jersey.
Hudson County was important
in that it contains the highly con-
troversial city of Jersey City,
longtime Boss Hauge stronghold
and Democrat hotbed. Driscoll's
opponent was Hauge's selection in
the person of State Senator Ell
mer FL. Wene.
At the final balloting, Driscoll
had polled 847,117 to Wene's 769,

which comprise the bulk of the
states population. and most of the
Negro population in both North
and South Jersey threw combin-

the governor.
This election made history in
that Driscoll is the first governor
Of the state to succeed himself
since 1874.

600 Damages Suit

TOWNSVILLE, Ga. AMP
The 100000 damages sought
by George White and his wife,
Dollie Seay White, against the
Lowndes county school officials
and six individuals for barring
their children from county schools
was withdrawn here last week.
the suit, filed last month, charg-
ed that the children were barred
from the schools because officials
contended they had Negro blood.
No reason for the withdraw of
the suit was given. U. S. District
Judge A. B. Conger, who signed
the order dismissing the suit, said
the couple had voluntarily asked
that it be withdrawn and had
given notice in open court they
would never reinstate the suit. He
added that he was of the opinion
his court never had any jurisdic-
ton inthe case.
The day after the suit was filed
charging the school officials with
violation of the u. S. Constitution,
warrants charging miscegenation
were sworn out against the couple.
Trial of this case is set for later
this month.

his revamping of the state con-
stitution and stringent anti Sc
gregation and discrimination laws.
1t was also learned that the
"~hardshell" Democrats in South
Jersey made a blunder when they
imported a Dixiecrat congressman
t o tour that part Of the state on
a speaking engagement. Though
Cong. William Dawson (Dem., ILL.,
toured the state speaking for ne
because of his party affiliations,
he openly expressed his admir-
alton for Driscoll.
AS expected, Driscoll suffered
badly at the hands of the Demo-
Gratis in Camden and Camden

minority.
Also attractive to the States

pointments" made by Driscoll in

In Newark along Belmont ave.

had been tailed, there was loud
and happy rejoicing in the Negro
sections. There we're statements
to the effect that people were vot-

told members of the Rotary Club
Tuesday noon when she was speak
er at the weekly meeting in st.

Using records of speech defects
to illustrate her talk, Miss Nc

are often caused by defective hear
ing. She warned that speech de-
fects can cause inferior complexes
which ruin youth personalities
"While baby talk is considered
cute in infants, it should be dis
couraged by parents and teachers
as sometimes this baby talk is
continued into adult hood and be-
comes a serious speech defect"
Miss McClelland warned.
