All Republican Officials
Have Negro Assistants

State financially by giving
many undeserving people money
much of which is wasted in
tayerns and liquor stores. We
must awaken to the realization
that the price of such conces-
sions are finally paid by all
of us. Such a program creates
additional taxes and it will con-
tinue to do so as long as it
lasts. Taxes are paid by all of
us. Those who receive being
identical with those who give,
and in the long run it will not
profit us to take from ourselves
to give to ourselves if in the
process our substance is ex-
hausted.
The Republican party is high
ly in favor of seeing to it that
the aged, the blind and the
needy, are given the things
they need to assure them of the
comforts Of life but it is OPP
posed to chislers and for that
reason if no other we should
support its candidates and help
put an end to waste.
| urge you to seriously con-
slider the facts as they are. The
Democratic party has done
practically nothing for minority
groups in the way of employ
ment or passing laws that will
give us an equal opportunity
to earn a living. 1t had the OPP
portunity for II years to pass
a Fair Employment Practice
law and failed to do so. 1t was
the Republicans who passed the
one we now have and which
has helped us tremendously. |
again urge you to vote in the
coming election. Vote to your
own best interest by voting
the Republican ticket.

paper. also are fully aware of
the ability of our Congressman
Hugh Mitchell.

State Legislature IN 1892, and
as King Co. Prosecutor in 1894.
lie went to Congress IN 1896
and served to 1914, meantime
joining the Navy in 1912 and
becoming Lieutenant Comman-
der in the South Pacific In 1914
he was elected to the L. S. SEN
ate, defeating Cain. He has
been a true liberal and deserves
a big majority which he will
get.
Now, as to Congressman, we
must ~re-elect Mitchell. No man
in Congress has such a back
ground of qualifications. He
spent 5 years as executive secre-
tary to Congressman Wallgren;
then four years with Wallgren
in the L. S. Senate. He served
out two years of Wallgren's UNI
expired term in the L. S. Sen
ate and he was elected to Con-
gress in 1913. There he has
worked hard.
Yes. we Democrats are proud
of our elected officials and
commend them to you, voters.
Mistakes, You say. well, per-
haps, but who doesn't make
EN- and if they are mistakes
of the head and not of the
heart, we can go along.

SEATTLE CANNOT AFFORD
ANOTHER SUCH FAILURE
Seattle Times, Oct. 16'

(Seattle Ilmes, Oct. l6)
Seattle and King County are
making a worse showing this
year in their support of the
Community Chest s A humani-
tartan agencies than they did
last year, At the weeks end,
but 70 per cent of the 1850
goal had been raised. On the
comparable day a year ago,
63 per cent of the quota was in,
and that was a year in which
subscriptions failed, by six per
cent, to reach the goal that had
been set. Unless there is prompt
revival of a responsible com
munity spirit, the 1850 record
will fall even below 1895.
Four times in the past nine
Years have Seattle and King
County citizens declinde to
meet their full Community
Chest responsibilities in
1915, 1917, 1913 and 1949. The
failure is in danger of becoming
a habit.
Does Seattle want to be
known to the rest of the country
as a city whose people, five
times IN a decade, refused ade-
quate support to the essential
services the Community Chest
representsg

The CAMPUS
NeuOsree1

The third edition Of your
Campus Newsreel comes to you
from the 40 yard line at the
Husky double-deeked football
stadium.
Saturday, October Z, 1850,
can 90 in the record books of
the sports world as the most
eventful day since the Indians
greeted Columbus back in 1892.
The Washington Huskies
proved they are strong contend
ers for the big game at Pasa-
dena, California-commonly re-
ferred to as the Rose Bowl
Game ~ January /, 1851, with
their 21-20 victory over the
strong UCLA.
Legend has it that this is the
best of the best Husky teams.
Amidst all the rushing, pass
ing and shouting Saturday, the
entire stadium crowd suddenly
stilled. Over the field loud
speakers came the astonishing
news of the believe-it-or-not
football upset. Purdue %. Notre
Dame II. UCLA passed to the
| yard line with a second down
and goal to go. Agony gripped
the stadium. The score was
already 10, UCLA. Big 209
pound Dave Williams, the only
Negro to see action in that
hair raising contest, took the
ball from the Bruin Quarter
back. Three times he rammed
the Husky defense. but for no
gain.
S%ecretely, the Newsreel want
ed the big fullbaek to make it.
you know-he's one of the
boys-but NeWsreel was happy
to join the thousands who
cheered the Huskies for a SUI
perb defense job
Undaunted by this failure,
Williams came back in the sec
ond half and reeled off import
ant yardage for UCLA. But
like the Whiz Kids from Philly,
Williams and UCLA went back
home haunted by that little
punch that wasn't there. Next
year-who knows? not even the
NeWsreel.

Dawson s an important men,

as chairman of the Executive
Expenditures Committee he is
closely associated with the pres
ident, and his speeches are gen.

A reception committee will
greet the visiting congressman
at the air port. The commit
tee is composed Of Senator
Warren G. M%agnuson, Con-
gresham Hugh B Mitchell, and
other prominent citizens.
A facet of interest in connec-
ton with this visit goes back
to the sponsorship of Judge
William Hastie to an honored
post i'll the federal judiciary.
Congressman Dawson was also
interested in this appointment,
and he worked with Senator
Magnuson in bringing the APP

whether the activities of the
Boy Scouts will be curtailed 30
per cent or more; whether it
makes more sense to spend
81, 300 a year to maintain an in
dividual in some state institu-

hundred dollars for a year or
two to rehabilitate him and
make him a good and useful
citizen the rest of his life.
These are considerations to
think over in Seattle's indiffer-
ent response to the 1850 Com
munity Chest appeal. Here it
is the final week of the cam
paign. Let us not wait until the
last day and then shrug it all
off and say, as if with resigna-
ton, that it was just too bad.

By Prentis 1. Frazier

Last week / brought to your
attention a vastly improved
condition Of employment for
Negro citizens, the credit for
which is due to Republican
County and State officials, In
King County today there is not
a Republican official who is
operating his department with
out the services of one or more
Negro employees. 1t has not
been an uphill task to bring
about this improved condition
because the Republican party
in King County has over the
years been favorable to the APP
pointment of qualified employ
ees regardless of race or color.
In contrast to this the at
titude of the Democratic party
has been just the opposite. In
King County the majority of
persons employed by office
holders are recommended by
the County Central Committees,
and it is common knowledge the
present Democrats Central
Committee and those of years
past have at all times opposed
the appointment of Negroes
to positions of responsibility.
With but a very few exceptions
this policy has been adhered
to. The Republican party
has at all times had Negro
members on its County Central
Committee while the Democrats
have had only one, the late G..
Il. Dawson and he was elected
by extreme left-wingers who
hope through him further gain
and hold Negro votes. 1t is i'm
portant to any minority group
living in a community and sup
porting a political party by
their votes and services that
they likewise have some part
in tn policy making phases of
that party's affairs, and when
this privilege is denied, it is
ample proof that their votes
and services are not appreci-
ated, and it is time that we be-
come aware of. this fact and
cast our votes for the candi-
dates of the party that is will
ing to do the most for us in
proportion to what we deserve.
In King County today III
Negroes are employed by Re
publican officials while the
Democrats proudly boast of
only l. This is a shameful con
dition and it is up to us to
help correct it. We can help
correct it by casting our votes
for Republican candidates who
have proved and will further
prove their appreciation for our
support by seeing that we get
a fair share of employment that
so much concerns our economic
welfare.
1t IS common knowledge that
many Negroes quit the Repub-
lican party in 1882 in the hope
OF being the recipients of an
better opportunities. These are
democratic promises. Thes

Sues School Prexy
For Beating Son

CHICAGO (ANP)- Suit was
filed in superior court here last
week by Mrs. Cora Lee Sawyer,
mother of seven, asking $4,000
damages aginst Norman Anderson,
principal of Webster Elementary
school, for knocking down and
kicking her 10 year old son, Ar
thur, two years ago.
The incident took place when
Arthur was a student in the fifth
garde. Arthur said the principal
disciplined the fifth graders for
making too much noise by making
them march up and down from
their third floor classroom to the
ground several times. Anderson
is then said to have ordered the
class back to its room with instru-
ctions to remain PERFECTLY quiet.
Several minutes later, Anderson
entered the room and heard Ar
thur humming to himself. Arthur
said the principal grabbed him,
beat him with his fists, knocked
him to the floor and kicked him
several times.
The boy fled home and return
ed with his mother, whom the
principal told that he son was in
co-rigible. He denied beating or
licking the boy.
Two students, Velma Murphy,
IL and Mary Lee Sawyer, IS, testi-
fled in support of Arthur's story.
Mrs. Ruth Lattimer, the teacher,
also corroborated the charge.
Anderson, however, maintain
his innocence.

Risking his life, Oliver Jones
fought his dog, Blackie, suffering
several bites including a deep
cash. None of the children were
hurt.
Rescuers had to apply a tourni-
quat to Jones to stop the flew of
blood and save his life.
It all started after Jones had
lied his pet to a truck while he
was working. Blackie broke lose
and started toward the children.
Grabbing the dog ~ the collar,
Jones scolded him, but the dog
turned on his master.
To keep the dog away from the
children Jones fought him, suffer-

tourniquet was applied to stop
bleeding in the wrist.
