Dem. Party

Continued From rage One
the ideals OF Lincoln and Dou-
glass, both major parties
should almost make certain
of putting Colored man In
Office. even it 1t meant clear
ing the field" of all opposition.
With one colored candidate
in the field from either Party
1t would guarantee the cleo
ton of one and would increase
colored confidence in both
parties, regardless Of which
win or lost.
In these times Of much
needed stress on brotherhood
and democracy, such an APP
peal has Its wisdom. But to
the Democratic Party in Mas
sahusetts this is more than
an appeal. 1t Is a challenge
which Will closely be watched
by the colored voters. With
already heavy Preponderance
of other racial groups in the
State House the election Of
another white candidate will
mean practically nothing to
the rise Or fall of the Demo-
Gratis in onis state. But another
rebuff TO colored candidates
and voters could mean the
vast difference between de-
feat and victory, as was 50
APPLY proven in the last cleo
ton.
1t will be argued by many
candidates in the field that
their election is vital 70 the
best interests of their party.
But every party chief is today
agreed that one Of the most
vital needs is adequate repre-
sentation Of all minorities in
state and federal government.
One look at the roster OF peo~
Piles represented at the MaSsa.
chusetts House of Representa-
tdveS provides the frank and
full answer as to whether a
Colored American deserves the
deeper consideration not only
for the Ward Nine vacancy
but for all future positions in
the Commonwealth.
Certainly, in passing OBJ
servation on the recent gala
Boston reception to the dele
cation from Haiti, it would be
pure hypocrisy to welcome a
great leader from abroad vhile
holding down colored leader
ship here at home. AS Lincoln
said, you can't fool the peo-
pie all the time"

Buckner Candy, pianist,
candidate for Masters Degree
in Music, 1855, from New
England Conservatory of Mu-
sic, gave his graduation recital
in Recital Hall, February 4.
Mr.. Candy, a prodigious ar
fist, opened his program with
Sonata in F minor by Brahms,
the finest of the three piano
sonatas by the composer.
Brahms once said to his friend,
George Henschel, former con-
ductor of Boston Symphony
Orchestra, that "One ought to
perfect a. piece. Let 1t rest,
keep coming, work over and
over again until it is a finish
ed WORK Of art; not a note to
be improved upon, beautiful
or not, perfect it must be"
Mr.. CANDY had done just
that. His weighty left hand on
the doublings and progress
sions in the lower register Of
the piano, brought out all the
turgidity so characteristic OF
Brahms music. In spite of
the full polyphonic texture and
rhythmic completely of the
Sonata, Mr.. CANDY wove each
note into truly finished work
of art.
Equally at home with the
brilliant Samuel in E flat
minor aud the familiar Sonata
in B minor by Chopin, Buck
ner Gamby's digital display
bewitched a most enthusiast
tic audience. Surely his pheno-
menal technic and definite
maturity in Interpretation will
resound around the globe.
