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.

Copyright, ls2s, by the Gary American Publishing Co., Incorporated. \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 Tiave 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 espe “eially 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 ." the people as expressed through minorities. Much of the turmoil in Ineliana 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 us republicans were not mindful of party platforms or party obligations. The long train of events which can be included in the phrase, ‘‘Stephen- sionianism,”” were not of republican origin nor were they of de- moeratie 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 cliques and gangs to the detriment of the people. Those who defend the primary are standing for a deln- sion, 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 foreed 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 eoop. 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 depart- ment 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 preminm in Moscow or that reports of Russian hard times were greatly exaggerated. When Simon Minski, Brooklyn, N. Y., applied for judicial per- mission 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? Eleven yearsago Willis S. Kilmer, New York turfman, bought Exterminator for $10,000 and Exterminator proceeded to step out and win the rich Kentucky Derby for him. Last year he eold Reigh Count to Mrs, John D. Hertz, wife of the Yellow Cab magnate for $12,500, and last week Reigh Count splashed his way to vietory and $55,000 at the fifty-four: sonewal of the classic at Churchill Downs. Surely Lady Luck is a fickle dame. But after all, it is quite likely that Luck had very little to do with it. Exterminator, remaining in the hands of his former owner, would probably have continued to be a $10,000 colt. Pass- ing into the possession of Kilmer he became a Kentucky Derby possibility and Kilmer made him a Kentucky Derby winner. Yet, this same Kilmer failed to see the possibilities in Reigh Count—possibilities which were evident to Mrs, Hertz. So it is with all of us. Given identical material to work with, some will make little while others are making much, It isn’t what we have that counts, but what we do with it. And that is what adds zest to life and makes living worth while. PAGE rouR THE PRIMARY SYSTEM Lady Luck go Willis S.
