his people in Seattle, and to
tell them why they should re-
elect Congressman Hugh B.
Mitchell of our own first dis
trict, to Congress. Congress-
man Dawson is one of the most
outstanding men in the United
States today and has a keen
knowledge and understanding
of the problems we all face
today and especially those of
his own race, the colored race.
Dawson stated that Mitchell
and Magnuson need a complete
democratic victory in Noyem-
Der 7th election to protect them
while they are working for us in
Washington, d. G..
1t was my pleasure to be
present at the Congressman's
press conference and | soon
knew why he has the name of
being one of the most able
congressman and doubt if I
will ever forget his able, cour-
teous and gracious treatment
OF the press.
1t was also my pleasure to be
able to take Congressman Daw-
son and our own Hugh B Nit
chell and Mr.. Woodland on a
tour of the 9th and 33rd Legis-
lative Districts in my own car
for the afternoon. We talked of
many topics, such as the first
war in which both Congress-
men and | served.
One of the many nice things
he did was to send his auto
graph to my two boys, also told
me that he was sure that his
own people would elect me to
the house of representatives in
the 37th district. He also stated
he would help me draw up a
stronger F.E.P.C. bill.
George Ryan, the President
of the King County Democratic
Club, and the oldest Democrat
in King County, informed me
after the dinner rally that he
had heard many, many wonder
full speakers here in Seattle.
such as VIM. Jennings Bryan,
Woodrow Wilson, and other
fine Democrats, and Congress-
men Dawson surpassed them
all in his estimation.
The day and evening was
completed by a large recep-
ton held by his own people at
23rd and E. Madison, where
again Congressman Dawson
proved he was a great man by
spending a couple of hours with
the people discussing their
problems. | am very proud to
have had the opportunity of
becoming acquainted with this
wonderful man and will always
remember him because of his
charm, graciousness, wonderful
speaking voice and powerful
message and delivery.

terest to all voters.
During the past several is
sues of the Northwest Enter
prise, | have pointed out the
lack of political patronage ac-
corded to Negro citizens by the
democratic party. | have also
pointed out that the Republi-
can Party has accorded per-
haps two hundred times as
much patronage to Negroes
that have the Democrats. Mr..
Murphy, instead of affirming
or denying my assertions,
writes about vast housing pro-
.jects in the district, built out
of concern for all the people.
He likewise refers to the peo-
pie appointed to the jobs |
mentioned as a favored few. In
reply to this | say that the Ne
groes | mentioned who are
now on fairly decent jobs by
appointment of Republican
County and State Officials, at
tended schools, studied hard,
went without many of the COM
forts of life and sometimes
went hungry to qualify them
selves for the jobs the are now
holding. They are not a ia
vored few but to the contrary
they are among those who are
striving against great odds to
climb the ladder of success.
Mr.. Murphy intimates that
he has no desire to quarrel with
his fellow Americans. Neither
do |. But | hope he will not
regard me as quarreling if |
ask: Where are those vast
housing projects in the 9th
district, and in proportion to
Negro population how many
Negroes reside in them?
/ am not disputing the word
of Mr.. Murphy, but | simply
don't know where they are.
/ do know, however, of many
restricted covenants where Ne
groes are not allowed to buy,
or rent a place to live.
Nh. Murphy further asserts
that it seems a waste of energy
to debate purely academic is
sues, mostly involved with the
remote past. He says (The study
of history is most interesting
and many people enjoy going
through the moldy past. How
ever, as a meat and bread prop
osition, all of us are concerned
with the now and tomorrow.

MRS. IRENE BROWN
For CONSTABLE

Introducing Mrs. Irene
Brown:
Her husband died in the line
of duty, a constable in King
County. She was appointed to
serve the unexpired term. She
made a commendable record.
She has filed for the office of
constable and the good citizens
of King County should con-
tinue her in office. That is our
contribution to a splendid wo-
man who must be the man of
her family.
She certainly deserves being
elected.

Gives $2-Million
For Agriculture
Study In Nigeria

LAGOS, Nigeria (ANP)- APP
proximately $2,8OO,OOO is to be
turned over to the University col
lege in Ibadan for the sole purpose
Of endowing it's department Of
agriculture, it was learned here re-
Gently.
The grant was made by the Nj

proval of the government.
Purpose of the endowment fund
is to give the college a chance to
achieve the independent status es-
sential to a seat of learning. Sole

He is the veteran Roy Lefty"
Welmaker, formerly of the Home
stead Grays and currently a top
notch hurler of the San Diego
Club of the Pacific Coast League.
According to Braven Dyer, Sports
Editor of the San Francisco Times,
Welmaker is the hottest port-side
hurler out west, and is being con-
sidered for relief pitching by many
Of the major league clubs, pre-
ferably the Chicago White Sox,
who are rebuilding their club with
pennant aspirations for the 1861
season.
According to Dyer, Lefty, the
28-year-old hurler, won five in a
row for the San. Diego club before
losing one. The 2O-game schedule
was just a baby when Welmaker
proved to the West Coast critics
he had what it took to beat
the records of other top coast
hurlers, including the well-known
Dutch Ruether who won 20 and
lost only seven in 1928, and Frank
Jackie" May, the shortest man
in baseball, who topped all modern
hurlers of the left-handers when
he won 35 and lost only 9 in 1922
with an earned run average Of l.
"a.
According to the West Coast
scribes, Welmaker is considered
more than a good lefthander, and
is double valuable to any team
seeking his services. He stands
five-feet ten and weighs an even
200 pounds and is one of the few
hurlers who can go nine innings
twice a week. Through his first
six games, he struck out rs men,
walkerd Fl, and had an earned
run average of LIS including
two shut-outs against San Francis
co.
Welmaker made a delayed start
in organized baseball but had an
enviable record with teams in
South America and Mexico during
1941-42-43 and 1948, to say
nothing of his success as a star
hurler with the Homestead Grays
in 1944-45-46. In 1949 he was
with the Wilkes Barre team of the
Eastern league, won % and lost
IL and ended the season with an
earned run average of 2.44. He is
the property of the Cleveland In
dams along with Harry Leon Simp-
son, and a former Cleveland
Buckeye infielder Alphonso (Fuz-
zy) Smith. According to the ex-
perts along press row, Welmaker
is headed for the big show come
spring training.
Now that the managerial ques-
ion has been settled in the
Brooklyn Dodgers front office, the
status of Jackie Robinson for the
1851 campaign has been also
settled and he will be back with
