at election time; though the True
Wing Party has been predominant
for many years.
In his speech, indicating his ac-
ceptance to be a candidate to sue
ceed himself, President Tubman
reviewed some of the difficult de-
cisions he had to make soon after
he became President in 1914. He
mentioned the following: there was
mistrust of the arrangement he
endorsed to grant exploitation
rights at Bomi Hills to the Amer
ican-controlled Liberia Mining
Company; fear of his proposed law
to give equal rights to the tribal
elements of the nation; his decision
to side with the Allies and declare
war against Hitler's Germany; the
planning and initiation of a five
year development program which
has brought great progress to Lii
IBERIA so that it is being extended
another four years now.
Anticipating the burdens of the
President of Liberia to be con-
stantly increasing in line with the
nations expanding activities, Pres
ident Tubman called on officials
and all citizens to work together
toward further improvements in
the health and well-being of Ii

cooperation in bringing these ex-
amples of African culture to the
west. "Only through an under
standing of our culture, Mr..
Ababio told his people, "can Ameri-

Among the many items of sculp-
ture, paintings and handicraft is a
"linguist staff"-a symbol of diety
In the Peki State of the Gold Coast.
So revered is this staff that Mr..
Ababio swore an oath before the
paramount chief and seven division

never return to their state with
his head attached TO his BODY
unless the staff is safely returned.
Besides the many items of histori-
cal Importance in the growth of

tax and qualify to vote was held
Sunday afternoon at the Goodway
Baptist Church, Rev. J. J. James,
Pastor.
The principal speaker of the oc-
casion was Percy Greene, Editor
and Publisher of the Jackson Advo-
cate, Mississippi's leading Negro
weekly newspaper.
! The editor who is also President
and founder of the Mississippi
State Association of Negro Demo-
cratic Clubs, and who was on the
National Speakers Bureau of the
Democratic National Committee
during the last election when he
was widely heard in the states of
Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and
Kentucky, speaking on behalf of
the candidacy of Gov Adlai Steven
son, and Sen. John Sparkman for
President and Vice President of the
United States, told the packed
church, that no matter what eff
forts were being made at the Ma
tional level, and what the U. S.
Supreme court might decree, the
problems of Mississippi Negroes
starts and ends at the local level;
and that those who lead must put
themselves in a position so that
they get with the White People
at the local level and work together
mutually for the solving of their
problems, adding that what they
should work hardest for is the
right to vote.
In support of his assertions the
editor related a historic conversa-
tion which he had with Justice
Hugo Black of the United States
Supreme Court in his chamber in
Washington, D. c.
The meeting was largely the re-
suit of the efforts of Chas. Evers,
owner of Evers Funeral Home, and
the only Negro Disc Jockey in this
section of the state, who is also
Philadelphia's most forward think
ing Negro Leader.

To Run For 3rd Term

Since early in his second admin

ident William V. S. Tubman has
been receiving an increasing num-
Der of petitions to be a candidate
for third term. Beginning with
individual organizations, religious
groups, communities, the move
ment had assumed flood propor-
tions by last year in which all
elements of the population Joined.
Constituents directed their legis-
lative representative to make the
strongest possible expression of
this wish and the National Legis-
lature went on record reiterating
the appeal in form of a resolu-
ton.
In the face of this pressure,
President Tubman has just acced-
ed. However, he offered a chal-
