DELTAYED NEGRO Charges Party With "Two-Timing" In May Primary ASKS VOTERS TO UNITE G. O. P. Is Party of Broken Promises, Says Nominee Declaring that "the Republican party in Lake county has broken the faith and shattered the confidence of Negro voters by its failure to nominate William W. Cooke, a colored man, for state representative in the recent primary." James Taylor, democratic nominee for state representative on the democratic ticket, today issued an appeal to colored voters in Lake county to unite their efforts for a new deal in county politics. Taylor, a Negro, was nominated by Lake county democrats for the state assembly, while county republicans failed to nominate Cooke, in spite of the loyalty of Negroes to the republican party in Lake county for the past fifteen years. Raps Two-Timing Tactics Condemning what he called "two-timing tactics," Taylor expressed supreme confidence today that if the colored voters of Lake county will unite, they can render an effective rebuke to Lake county republicans for their failure to name Cooke as the party's candidate for the office of state representative. "The republican party," he said, "does not care for the welfare of the colored man. The party has been in power for 47 years, but never has given protection to the Negro. "Instead of giving the Negro voter his just due, the republican party is spending thousands of dollars each year to enforce the 18th Amendment, but not a single penny for the enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, and it seems to be implied in the Dred Scott case that a Negro has no right which the republican party has to respect. "It has been clearly demonstrated," Mr. Taylor said, "that the republican party cares nothing for the Negro. Take the case of Judge William C. Hueston, one of the ablest Negro attorneys in the state, whose qualifications will measure up to any man that Lake county has, has been ignored by the republicans. For some good cause, our "good republican friend" have refused to honor him. "Two years ago, they refused to nominate Henry Davis, an attorney of East Chicago, Again, Mr. William W. Cooke, whose qualifications cannot be questioned by any group of men, was 'double-crossed' by the republicans. They refused to nominate him. Party of Broken Promises "The republican party is only a party of broken promises. I believe the time has come now when the colored man must stand up and demand respect. "I understand that the republican party now promises to nominate Mr. Cooke two years from now, but two years from now Mr. Cooke may be dead and in hell. "The republican party has done only the opposite for us of those things we have asked them to do. They have given us segregated schools, and I think the time has come for the people to go to the polls and show their 'appreciation' for the many 'gifts' given them by the republican party."

Seconde are said to have arranged a meeting at dawn. It is reported that Mis Baker was present and devoted herself to screaming. It is reported that the duel was not a serious affair. It is said to have lasted ten minutes and in that time the count was scratched on the shoulder by the cavalryman's blade and, after an examination of the wound the seconds decided this slight bloodshed was sufficiently ghastly and sufficient to satisfy the honor of the alleged frate contestant and all left the field apparently in peace and contentment.

THE PRIMARY SYSTEM Again the people of Indiana have got primary election and again, when the ex-political people may well conclude that the re-election, the expense, the excitement and the government.

The republican party point of the criticism because men elect mindful of party platforms or parties of events which can be included in the net which Stephenson wove.

And who Again the people of Indiana have gone through the agony of a primary election and again, when the excitement has died down, the people may well conclude that the result has not justified the work, the expense, the excitement and the danger to the cause of government. For weeks orators have been going up and down the state denouncing other gentlemen who were candidates for the nomination. Reason was ignored and judgment was cast aside. Many bitter things were said, deep wounds were made and the public service not helped. This was true of both parties and especially of the republican party because it is believed to be the dominating party in the state. It can not be claimed under the primary system the people rule for there was probably not to exceed a fifty per cent vote cast. The people do not rule through minorities because no man can say what is the voice of the people as expressed through minorities. Much of the turmoil in Indiana in the last few years is the direct result of the primary. The republican party has had to bear the brunt of the criticism because men elected as republicans were not mindful of party platforms or party obligations. The long train of events which can be included in the phrase, "Stephensonianism," were not of republican origin nor were they of democratic origin and there were many democrats caught in the meshes of the net which Stephenson wove. We doubt not if Stephenson were now at large he would be one of the chief advocates of the primary because through it he could work out his ambition; and if not Stephenson some other man who would build up eliques and gangs to the detriment of the people. Those who defend the primary are standing for a delusion, an empty dream, a thing that does not survive the test. The next legislature has the task of wiping out the primary.—Danville, Ind., Republican. After an air pathfinder has found a path, what's to mark it for future airmen? Believe Chang Can Hold Line.—Headline. But he may be forced to kick on the next down. All who failed to pick the Derby winner will please realize that nobody cares to hear why they failed. Trouble in the Balkans merely acts as a curtain-raiser for the main act being put on by China and Japan. Probably within a year or two traffic over the week-end will be heavier at the north pole than it is at Turkey Run. "Senate Passes Army Housing Bill."—Headline. If pacifists had their way our army could be housed in a chicken coop. The Illinois man who made his wife live in a shed for six months evidently is not one of the "woman's place in the home" clan. The warden asserted that Stephenson was at work.—Michigan City dispatch. Yes, sir, there have been some political indications that he was. One of the interesting things about the holdup of a $20,000 crap game in a Louisville hotel is that the house detective was one of the spectators. Now they are trying to prove that the American Indian is really an Asiatic. First thing we know it will be difficult for an Indian to get into the Ku Klux Klan. Excavators have found the ruins of an ancient Roman department store which was nine stories high. No evidence has been found to support the contention that it collapsed before a wave of shoppers on a dollar day. The fact that a census of the soviet republics shows that more than 29,000 people over 100 years of age are resident in them is an indication that numerical accuracy is at a premium in Moscow or that reports of Russian hard times were greatly exaggerated. When Simon Minski, Brooklyn, N. Y., applied for judicial permission to change his name to Cyril Merrill the judge ruled that the change was undesirable because the proposed new name was more difficult to spell and remember. And who dares say that the judge was wrong! Lady Luck Eleven years ago Willis S.

SOCI We thought the exodus of Chicago and Garyites to the Derby was enormous, but it is not to be compared to the mob planning to attend the Oriental ball June 1 at Tyler park. The small group of Fiskites sponsoring this affair in Gary are surely wide-awake. Every one in Chicago is asking about the unusual and unique affair. The question you hear on every tongue is: "Are you going to Gary on the first of June?" and "Don't forget the Oriental ball in Gary" and "I'll see you at the Oriental ball." Mrs. Thelma Marshall, Harry Schell and Miss Mae Diffay are sponsoring the mammoth affair. They are giving Garyites and Chicagoans an opportunity to dance, dine and be entertained to one's heart's content. On Friday evening, Gary's one and only sorority entertained in a most unusual and delightful manner more than two hundred of Gary's and Chicago's social elite, at the third annual prom of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority. The affair was held at the American Crystal Gardens, and the ballroom was a scene of beauty with its soft, mellow lights and artistic decorations. The matrons, debs and eubeds were bewitching in the season's most elaborate gowns. As the last straits of "Home Sweet Home" were played during the wee small hours of the morning, Garyites and Chicagoans reluctantly gathered wraps and started toward motors, but wishing that the night would last forever. ♦ ♦ ♦ Seen among the merry bunch at the third annual prom of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority on Friday evening were: Drs. Dillard, Goss and White; Attorney and Mrs. Charles Wilson, and Miss Bell Edwards who motored out from Chicago. Miss L.
