"The Public Be Served" An Independent Weekly Devoted To the Best Interests of All 'MESSIAH' IS SUCCESSFUL Large Crowd Hears Classic Oratorio Monday Night "The Messiah," the oratorio long heralded, was presented to a large and appreciative audience at the First Baptist church, 21st avenue and Washington street, Monday even- ing. The program opened with an overture by the orchestra of twenty pieces. Many of the members are artists and they exerted their ability toward the wonderful orchestra which builds such strong support for the chorus. Walter Gossette of Chicago was at the organ. Mr. Gossette is in a class by himself as a pipe-organist and well-known all over the country. Mrs. Semmes, alternating with Mrs. Patsy Wallace at the first piano, and Mrs. Brown at the second piano, were unsurpassed as accompanists. Solas Good Mrs. R. D. Guy, soprano soloist, was at her best in quality of tone and interpretation of the difficult numbers she rendered, coupled with a charming stage presence which lent grace to her performance. Mrs. Ashcraft and Mrs. Blakey, contralto soloists, exhibited excellent voice quality and technique, while David Duncan, bass soloist, Mr. Lewis baritone and Mr. Edwards, tenor, each gave a brilliant performance. The work of the chorus was highly gratifying. R. D. Guy, director, may be classed as one of the most capable directors of the day, and deserves great credit for the patience with which he undertook a task so stupendous as molding, shaping and teaching a chorus of voices, building them from the very foundation work on a production of such weight and resulting in a performance so thoroughly pleasing to all listeners. ROSCOE SIMMONS AT BIG MEE ROSCOE SIMMONS WILL SPEAK AT BIG MEET MONDAY NIGHT Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons of Chicago, the great Negro orator, will close the republican campaign in Lake county with a speech Monday night at Croatian hall, 23rd avenue and Washington street. Orator Simmons has won national laurels as a forceful, vivid speaker. Everywhere he goes he leaves his listeners with a sane and balanced outlook upon the affairs of the day. As a student of politics, he has few equals. As a speaker, he stands without peer. The leading campaign issues will FIRST YEAR. NO. 46. LASH DEMOS IN CAMPAIGN MASS MEETS Mrs. Fleming, Atty. Bankhead, Justice Hueston Speak Classing Al Smith as a friend of "Cole Blease, Pat Harrison, Vardeman, and Gov. Bilbo of Mississippi, whether the democratic nominee admitted it or not," calling the pre-convention lynching at Houston a "sure sign that the democrats don't want your vote," Mrs. Lethia Fleming of Cleveland attacked and flayed everything democratic Monday night while an enthusiastic audience in the Crystal Gardens ballroom at 1901 Broadway applauded thunderously. Mrs. Fleming was cynical regarding the so-called "bolting" of Negroes to the democratic faith. "Never in my life have I heard more talk of bolting, and soon less of it, than in this present campaign," she said. "There'll be little leaping of the fence on election day. Even the most violent of the democratic workers will go to the polls and put an 'x' in the box for Hoover." "Hate To Be Left" The speaker mentioned the disastration that was causing the alleged boiling. "The republicans can do without us," she said. "The republican train can roll on without a Negro on board. But I'd hate to have them find it out. We shouldn't want to be left behind. Without the republicans we would have nothing, because the democrats refuse to accept us." But most of her trade was against the "associates" of Al Smith. Mira Fleming said she believed Smith was all right personally, but he would naturally be forced to become subservient to the desires of the south and the Negro-hating congressmen who dominated it. Particularly bitter was her attack upon Joe Robinson of Arkansas, running mate of Smith. She mentioned the lynchings that went on in his home state and the fact that he had never spoken one word in disapproval. She told also how the Negro citizens of Arkansas were wont to step back from the sidewalk, hat in hand, when Robinson or any of his family passed by. "Do you want such a man as this in Washington?" she asked. "Should anything disastrous happen to Smith, do you want a man such as this to take the President's chair." The Houston Convention The Houston Convention Mention was also made of the wire screen the democrats used to tartition off the colored spectators from the white at their national convention. "To make matters worse," she said, "several misguided Houston colored men gave money to enlarge and make comfortable convention headquarters. All they got for their palms was a lynching and a wire screen. "Remember this," Mrs. Sleming said in conclusion, "the democratic party has given the Negro just three things: disfranchisement, segregation, and jim crow laws." Meet Friday Night Labor hall, at the corner of 21st avenue and Washington street, was the scene of a monster mass meeting Friday night at which Atty. J. N. Bankhead of Indianapolis and Justice W. C. Hueston were the principal speakers. The meeting was the only scheduled for the fifth ward during the present campaign and was presided over by Alderman Whitlock. The hall was crowded. Previous to the speechmaking, the Roosevelt Annenx school band had paraded on the southside advertising the scheduled meeting. The same organization played several numbers at the hall. "No Negro can be a democrat purely on the ground of racial development," said Lawyer Bankhead. "Although I have been a democrat Continued on page 2 Anthony Overton.

The leading campaign issues will HOLD TWO IN SLAYING OF MILL WORKER Wife, Man Jailed In Mystery Murder Saturday Night What at first appeared to be a holdup and resultant murder is now being looked upon by the Gary detective bureau as a murder in cold blood for the purpose of removing all obstacles to a hitherto illicit love affair. As a result, Mrs. Mary Pearson, 41, 2385 Filmore street, and Joe Cleveland, 45, 2160 Jefferson street, are being held without bonds in connection with the death, Saturday night, of E. P. Pearson, 50, husband of Mrs. Pearson, and the father of five children. Pearson was found dead early Sunday morning among the sand dunes on 23rd avenue about 200 feet east of Monroe street. He had been stabbed near the heart. Four bullets had entered his body. His dinner pail was overturned on the ground nearby. Only 28 cents was found in his pockets. It was known that he had nearly $25 when he left home to go to work in the coke mills. Evidence pointed strongly to robbery. Doubt Theory "No holdup man did that," police officials said when they came to the scene. "A bandit may fire once or twice, but he doesn't pump a victim full of lead, then stab him with a knife. Something more sinister happened. But whoover the killer—or killers—might be, they overdid the act, if they are trying to make us think some bandid was this man's murderer." But Sergt. Bolden, assigned to the case, preferred to let it be thought that Pearson's death was the deed of a robber. Meanwhile, he caused several known police characters to be picked up and held. He made investigations and learned that Cleveland is supposedly a paramour of Mrs. Pearson. He learned that this illicit love affair had been going on for some time against Pearson's wishes. As a result, it is commonly believed that the two planned to kill the husband and make it appear as if he had been held up. Neither Mrs. Pearson nor Cleveland have confessed to having anything to do with the murder. Both protest their innocence. Hanged for Alleged Criminal Assault NATCHEZ. Miss. — John Burke was hanged here Oct. 19 for alleged criminal assault on an aged white woman residing near Cine Ridge. Burke was indicted, tried, and convicted within three hours at a special term of circuit court. Following the arrest of Burke, two attempts were made to storm the Adams county jail by mobs, but they were frustrated by Sheriff Walter Abbott with the assistance of the Natchez police department. The hanging of Burke was the first execution in Adams county for fifteen years. be discussed and explained plainly and concisely. It is thought that his speech will appeal especially to those who are undecided as to which of the major parties they will give their vote. It will be the last chance for citizens to hear the most vital of campaign issues. As a huge crowd is expected to be present at the meeting, the public is urged to come early and get good seats. The speaking begins promptly at eight o'clock. Reply To Frank Martin's Infamous Lie Reply To Frank Martin's Infamous Lie Frank R.

Yours very respectfully, CHAUNCEY TOWNSEND, Executive Editor, The Gary American. R. Marti Frank R. Martin's Lie We realize that if we did our duty as a newspaper and focused the merciless spotlight of public opinion upon the disgusting and nauseating dealings of the democratic party with representatives of The Gary Sun, a small local paper, its owners would attempt to retaliate and try to save their faces. But we underestimated the strength of our attack. So convincing has been our criticism that Frank R. Martin has resorted to lying in an attempt to wriggle out of the corner in which he and the Sun have been driven. If you don't know who Frank R. Martin is, we shall tell you. He is the democratic chairman of Lake county. He is president of the Hammond National bank in Hammond. He is the man who gave Hicks of the Gary Sun $5,000, according to the latter's confession. But above all he is a business man. One whom Hammond citizens trust implicitly with their hard earned dollars. His position is one of prominence and respect. That makes his descent into the ranks of common liars more astounding. We realize that the action of Sun emissaries was questionable to the public. They had dealings with Martin. Then, when they were found out, they ran to their democratic godfather for protection like a child hiding behind its mother's skirts. We pause to add that they will need even more protection after Nov. 6. And Martin gave them what he called aid. In so doing he lost his head. We think it unpardonable in a business man. He says that two GARY AMERICAN representatives called at his office and offered to "sell" him their paper to the democrats for use in the campaign. In view of the fact that nothing like that ever happened, we are forced to believe that the highly esteemed Mr. Martin must have serious mental lapses. The depositors in his bank should have doubts concerning the advisability of continuing connections with that money institution. We think any business man who can lie so well when no money is involved would shame Ananias when it came to trickery with cash. Martin, however, has 10 days to retract his statement. We believe he will. But the end of that period will come after election. We believe his lie was merely for election purposes. It is probably a last desperate effort to cause people to lose faith in Gary's leading newspaper, a publication that has sense enough to remain republican. But Martin's lie still stands. We give him the opportunity to retract. But if he fails to do this, we shall let justice take its course. There is a place for newspapers andmenwho deliberately lie in an attempt to fool the public.

Arnold Hill is director, has issued the following bulletin on present employment conditions: The industrial situation for Negroes throughout the country does not seem to have altered much since the last report. Little movement of labor between cities is evident. The general note of the reports from every section is one of fairly constant conditions with a slight tendency toward improvement. With outside work at its peak because of favorable weather, several reports of increased employment in building and road construction have been received. Negroes in large numbers were employed as laborers in state highway construction. A new pipe line for natural gas in Austin, Texas, is being laid with the aid of Negro labor. A considerable amount of gang labor has been contracted for in St. Louis. On the other hand, colored men along with whites were being laid off at the automobile factories and car shops in St. Louis, and Fort Wayne reports: "Outlook for next thirty days is gloomy. Construction gangs will soon close down and many men may be out of work." Nevertheless, the industrial department of the St. Louis Urban League reported a forty per cent increase in calls for workers in the month of September, with 29 per cent increase over the month of August in placements; Richmond, Va., notes a steady improvement in employment; Springfield, Ill. sees relief in the fact that more coal mines are resuming operations. The fruition of the cotton crop is a cause for heavy employment in the Texas communities reporting, and several hundred tobacco workers have found temporary employment in the neighborhood of Raleigh, N.C. In the field of domestic labor improvement in wages, as well as increased employment, resulted from the return to the cities of large numbers of vacationists. At the same time, the closing of the resorts and the consequent release of many summer workers would seem to counteract apparent gains in that quarter. Beauty Shop Gets New Manager Polly's Beauty Shoppe, located at 13 East 19th avenue and owned by Mrs. Marguerite Powell, the popular and well known beauty culturist, has recently retained Irene Seary of Chicago as its manager and is better equipped than ever to render service to its many customers. This shop is one of the very few employing an efficient marcel waver. Mrs. Powell plans to add another in the very near future. Her shop features service without waiting. Another feature is its specialty on waves at 75 cents. Experience in managing men doesn't seem to count for much in the art of managing women. One of the most gigantic sales ever to be held in Gary is the "Going Out Of Business" sale of Andrew's, woman's apparel store at 622 Broadway. The entire $50,000 stock of merchandise will be disposed of in 10 days, beginning today. The reason for the sale is the fact that Andrew's has sold its lease. Smashing reductions will be made in all woman's wear and in everything the store carries. Fur coats will be sold for as little as 15 and 20 cents on the dollar. Coats that formerly sold for $25 will be sacrificed for $8.90, while Paris coats that formerly could be bought for no less than $125 will be offered to the pub- Hoover Strong In All Strategic Points Where Negro Vote Is Amassed; Victory Is Predicted By ALBERT ANDERSON (Staff Correspondent for the Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. — With the casting of ballots in the presidential election only a week away, this unusual campaign of 1928 keeps up its interest and uncertainty clear until its end. The mixed issues of religion and liquor, race and color, the effort to crack the solid south, as well as the cry of "tammany" or "Ku Klux" have well nigh drowned out the old reliable political arguments and slogans of years past and treated a pussy situation for many o voter, attempting to make a decision. It is this attitude which for once makes even the Negro vote interesting. While white Republican leaders pretend to scout at the idea that any appreciable number of black ballots will be cast for Smith, the actual position of colored people this year, undoubtedly has the political dopeps guessing. Democratic activity on a scale heretofore unknown, unrest, and admitted dissatisfaction with the present day Republican party keeps a question mark behind the Negro until the final votes are counted. Republicans Confident Quiet confidence seems to reign, however, in the Republican headquarters at the Barr building here. Reports received by Chairman John R. Hawkins from his workers scattered throughout the "voting states" are to the effect that whatever tendency there was to stray from the fold has been checked and that a substantial majority of Negroes will vote early if not often for Hoover and Curtis. In the meantime, a spirit of watchful waiting is to be felt at the Colored Smith for President League headquarters in New York City, a youthful chairman of organization, Julian D. Rainey, and chief of publicity, Lester A. Walton, sit back with the feeling that they have put forth a slashing effort and therefore are half hopeful that results will at least be encouraging enough to make a dent in the one party fealty of the colored hosts and encourage the Democratic moguls to continue their efforts to prosecute the black vote in elections to come. Stop Activities Early A recent survey through the East, middle west, and border states, reveals according to the intelligence brought to Dr. John R. Hawkins that the situation is safe. The early discontinuance of work in the western branch at Chicago, as well as the tapering off of the work in the east would seem to bear out this attitude of confidence. But it is no secret that four or five weeks ago, the Democrats who had their publicity going earlier than their rivals and who in most instances had organizations actively in the field before the Republicans got started, made a noisy display of strength and following which started old campaigners. The Democrats have been aggressive and the general Negro discontent furnished fertile soil for them to plant. As the G. O. P. swung into action, however, the real truths about the issues began to seep down to the voting masses. The old distrust of the Democratic emblem and its southern Continued on page 2 lie at the ridiculously low price of $33.30. Due to the expected rush of purchasers, bargains will be offered at certain hours of the day that will not be tendered at any other time. These special bargains include coats, dresses, and hats. Due to the large crowds expected and the probability that the choicest fabrics will be disposed of the first days of the sale, store managers advise that those interested come in early to make their buys. They point to the fact that as the styles are the latest things, some customers may want to take advantage of the opportunity and lay in next season's wearing apparel. An attempt by two men to stand a gun Tuesday evening from the Palace Loan shop of Marie Tipper at 1619 Broadway lead to the shooting and arrest of one, James Williams of 1611 Madison street, after a clash by police and the store owner. Williams' partner escaped. He has the stolen gun. The two men entered the loan shop for the purpose of purchasing a weapon, according to Tipper. He showed the customers what he had. When he turned his back, one of the men slipped a gun under the cont. Tipper started toward them and the men bolted and ran. The shop proprietor gave chase. He caught up with and grabbed Williams at the corner of 18th and Broadway. Offices Game Alighting from a stairway at this time were Officers Beder and Shayovitch who came to Tipper's aid. But the thief broke away and ran, the police giving chase and dring at him. On Washington street, near a building at 1613, the thief turned of the street and into a passageway where Shayovitch caught up with him. The culprit tripped the officer and the two men fought. Beder arrived and fired at Williams. The man fell, a bullet in his abdomen. Williams was rushed to San Antonio hospital. There he gave his name. It was learned later that he is an ex-convict. A sedan containing three men and two women stood parked at the curb near the loan shop when the chase began. As the men ran from the store, two of the men and both women leaped out. The driver of the car followed the chase with his machine. It is thought by some that he may have aided the second thief in making good his escape. Upon investigation, it was learned that the license found on the car was issued to Leon McKinney at 1624 Monroe street. HIT BT CAR Georgia Butler, 2214 Washington street, sustained minor injuries about the head Monday evening when she was bit by a car driven by Porter Stokes, 1820 Jefferson street. The accident occurred at 19th avenue and Washington street. Miss Butler was rushed to San Antonio hospital where her injuries were treated. JAILED AS ROBBER Sam Rutar, 1621 Broadway, was arrested Tuesday night by Capt. Vedicka and Sergta.

The result seems plain, therefore, that while a good start was made, the Negro is not yet ready to vote the Democratic ticket nationally, especially with a Robinson tied to its call. Now the States Stand Harleen will vote for the party of her fathers. The chief reason appears to be that there they know Al Smith and his entirely negligible attitude toward Negroes too well. Tammany has carried Harlein in the past because of organization and indifference on the part of the Republicans who don't even attempt to register the vote there. This year, however, while former Alderman George Hardis disputes present Alderman Fred Moore's figures to the effect that there are only 23,000 colored voters in New York, cliting an elaborate graph to prove there are 60,000, both are agreed that whatever there are, will be for Hoover. In Philadelphia quite a little rip riple has been created by Nero Democ ratic workers.

Maryland is putting an interesting fight. Twain Smith has ranges of Negro Democratic workers rounding up the vote in the manner which is his worst. This is the first time he has felt free to support a presidential candidate, because those, the Democratic boss of Baltimore, he is an ardent "race man". His influence is wide, extending it is said, even to the press. It had been rumored that Negro Catholicism would not support Smith, but a white priest brought fourteen colored nuns to a Baltimore mailing place and registered them last registration day. 1732 Broadway UNREQUIRED LOVE One day— There was a flower; Some say, It was a rose.

Atlanta Social Work School Is Growing (B) Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA — The Atlanta School of Social Work, the only institution in America devoted exclusively to the training of Negroes in social work has just begun its ninth term, under the second year of the direction of Forrester B. Washington. The student body is almost twice as large as at the same time last year, while nearly an many more applicants for admission were unable to quality. Other significant gains are the following. The course of study, formerly covering one year, has been expanded to two years; the requirements for entrance have been raised, two years of college work being now required for entrance; a plan of cooperation is now in effect between the school and the local colleges whereby college seniors may take the first year's work in the school and receive credit for same on their A. B. degrees; opportunities for field work with local social agencies have been doubled; evening courses for the benefit of the community have been introduced; and a considerable number of male students have been enrolled.

The speaker reminded his hearers of the low tariff that the democratate favor. "Your economic welfare is at stake," he said, "the foundation of your welfare is keeping the tariff up so that you can have jobs at which to work and be paid a living wage." The Ku Klux Klan Atty. Bankhead spoke also of the Ku Klux Klan in the election. "Some poor fools are bolting the republican party because the Klan is lined up with it," he said. "Well—the republican party has never denied to anyone the right to the vote for it as the democratic party does in the south in its white primaries. The republican party is not a party of distranchisement." Justice Hueston dealt mainly on the lynching and segregation evil as practiced in the democratic southern states. He spoke of his trips south as a speaker of the Elks and the many humiliations he had to undergo. He spoke also of the undermining of Gary's steel businesses if the democrats, with their low tariff ideas, got into office. Mayor Speaks Following the speeches of Atty. Bankhead and Justice Hueston, those on the republican county ticket were presented and some of them spoke. Of particular interest were the remarks of Mayor Floyd Williams. "I've given the colored citizens here everything I promised them," he said. He added, "It took me two and one half years to convince a republican state legislature that Gary was on the map, and needed things for its white and colored citizens.

The aged man, who was honored by the Holmes County Veterans, Camp No. 298, by being made an honorary member of that body, attended every Coutedatee reunion and was regarded highly by his white friends. Dressed in a tattered uniform of gray, with medals and souvenirs gathered from year to year, he delighted in telling of his experiences. Many years ago he was brought to Mississippi when seven years old by his owner, Mrs. Nannie Hereford, of Alabama, a sister of S. L.

During the war he was kept busy as a cook courier or "catcher of grub", for the soldiers, and his loyalty ever remained on the only side he knew.

Homan beings, in spite of the fact that they are by nature gregarious, and accustomed to live in units of the family and the state, seem to lack the ability to group themselves in units of three, four, five, § emseives i Uhits Of tires, tom, a six, eight or ten, as the case may be, underneath one roof. For some reason, Home seems to consti- tote a hunting ground where members of the fam- ily cast aside reticence, consideration, politeness, charm and courtesy. Rheta Mason detested her home life. First of all, she worked seven hours out of every shining dzy in the shipping room of a great mail-order con- cern in lower New York. Into this room, which was two stories below ground, sunlight. never penetrated. And when Rheta emerged of an eve- ning, there was a red band across her pretty fore- head from an eye shield which she wore bending over her bookkeeping. After that, home meant a nervous, harrowed mother who talked constantly of money, or rather the lack of it, and complained bitterly when Rheta held out a bit from her weekly wages for a bauble, a bit of jewelry, or a frock, and a disgruntled father who had been out of luck ever since Rheta could remember. There were four other Mason children beside Rheta, all younger, two of them constantly ailing and the other two, young fellows constantly at odds with their home life for having to pool their scant earnings into the shallow family coffers. Long before she was even nineteen, Rheta, who was pretty in a red-haired, gold-eyed sort of way, decided that life wasn’t getting her any- where. She wanted the good things. Not the good things in the shoddy sense that so many of her genération thought of. Rheta wanted to be able to afford the leisure to learn to read the kind of books which she had not sufficient education to understand.. Vaguely, she sensed that there were beauties sealed between the covers of volumes to which she had no intellectual entree. Rheta wanted the time and the opportunity to be able to travel. To gaze upon the great art tworks created out of the upper reaches of the human mind. In a vague way, even a look at a bit of poetry down a wide-margined page struck her with a sense of rhythm. It wes rather pathetic, Rheta wanting the good things of life this way. They seemed to hover so close to her and yet, so far as any possible con- tacts with them were concerned, she was an Rheta’s world was the home life of an uptown flat, a bedraggled, back-hurting mother, a jobless, disillusioned father, wrangling brothers and the valgar clutter of a vulgar street. No, Rheta could not be expected to be get- ting much out of life. After a short, sharp, spiritual conflict, Rheta reasoned it out for herself and finally decided to go off with the first man who had ever wooed her beyond the flirtatious stage. He was a large, slightly fat, pink-faced, blonde-haired stock broker. He spent money in a way that Rheta had never before beheld in her life, Little self-denials that she had always known, the walking ten blocks to save a street car fare, the half-soleing of shoes that she detested, shabby gentility, last year’s gloves, seemed entirely outside the consideration of this man named Ted O’Brien, who suddenly swept like a gale of fresh salt air into her stuffy world. For the first time in her life, Rheta rode in taxi cabs, dined on the roof gardens of big hotels or table-d’hote places where the wine was red and flower boys passed with trays of wire- stemmed roses, which Ted O’Brien bought in bunches and left at her plate. He was a good- humored, good-natured fellow. He liked her. And in spite of herself, Rheta could not help liking him, In a breezy, easy way. SS —————————— Untrodden fields—unopened books. Life with a big meaning. The chance to live came to deprived Rheta. There was a fly—a monster—in her ointment. But Rheta took the chance. The chance that she thought would open the closed books and the way to the beckoning un trod fields. The fly in the ointment, indeed the monster in the ointment, was the fact that Ted O’Brien was married. There were a wife and two children somewhere out in Seattle. O’Brien was quite honest about it, but he liked Rheta and Rheta’s home life was unendurable, For a long time after her decision, even in the days of the storm of consternation that she created in her family, Rheta relaxed—with a sigh of luxury with which one descends into a warm bath —aganst the downy background of her new environment. i | ee There was a jewel case of an apartment in a discreet “family hotel.” Rheta breakfasted in bed off a blue enameled set and an hour after O’Brien had passed the corner florist when he left mornings, a box of fragrant and freshly hot-house cut flowers arrived. These Rheta arranged in the two silver vases on her dressing table. At eleven e’clock, she rode down town in the small, perfectly equipped six-cylinder coupe. At one, there was lunch at one of the large hotels, usually alone. There were charge accounts for Rheta in three or four of the smart shops and that meant afternoon shopping or a matinee. Then dinner with Ted, who liked his meat thick and red and preferred chop houses, a musical revue and, invariably, night club dancing in one of the airless grottoes that line the side strects of Broadway, where O’Brien was pretty generally known. Well, as Rheta constantly put it to herself, what had she to lose? Nothing. And yet, there came to her one day, a realization that shattered her soul. She met her mother, whom she had not seen for over two years, on the street one day by chance. The poor woman burst into tears at the sight of her magnificent daughter. “What are you getting out of life, now, Rheta, that you never had before?” she asked. Then and there dawned upon Rheta the grim fact that she was getting nothing out of life which she had never had before; that the closed books were still closed books to her and the untrodden fields were still untrod. Except, now, there was no hoping for them any more. There was no going back. Rheta had tasted of a life that had made her its slave. PANNIE HURST —~ eae nt. ~eunbie! By DOUGLAS MALLOCH TAKE IT ALTOGETHER Rain again, and yet—well, what of it? Now and then you can learn to love it. Raining now, and it’s dark at present, 7 somehow, it’s been mighty pleasant. more shine than of days to wet us, More days fine than of days to fret us. Rain once more, but, at that, the weather Didn’t pour, take it ‘altogether. Life’s that way, let us al remember, Not all May, ard not all November: Songs and smiles, when it’s sunchine only, Afterwhiles when the heart grows lonely. Rain we find, and we call it sorrow; Never mind, it will clear tomorrow, Though we've had many kinds of weather, Life’s not bad, take it altogether. Rain sein bot i sos Mews ort, Now then, it brings clover. Rain once more, but the sun breaks through it, Has before, and will always do it. When it’s wet. when you hear no swallow, Don’t forget there sre days to follow. When pat-pat goes the rainy weather, Do just that—take it all together. THE HAPPY There’s nothing as foclish as foolish fear, And nothing as smart as smiling, No word is wise if it starts a tear, Or cate if it brings reviling. The frowning face is not really wise, ‘The voice that is cold and snappy, For only the happy are the wise, The truly wise are the happy. On the road of life there is more to find Than the things that we learn in college; A thousand thoughts may enrich the mind, But the heart has its store of knowledge. We must learn the world, we muzt learn its needs, We must study our human duty, For our kindly words and our heipful deeds Are all that will give it beauty, There is much to learn: I would like to know The worth of the things around me. Perhsps the things th-t I value so Are the poorest things I have found me. I would like to Jearn as the road I went, Learn more then the books and chatter, As 1 walk the world I would learn conten}— Then none of the rest will matter.

Many and varled were the characters impersonated, but the one who baffled all analysis was Mrs. Edwards who came EV as a Chinese and whose evasion of detailed personal scrutiny no doubt was responsible for the inability of the crowd to recognize her until a quarter to twelve the guests unmasked.

VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET STRAIGHT Vote the Lake county republican ticket straight. Only by so doing will you be able to insure a complete and sweeping victory for the party that honors your vote. Only by so doing will the national as well as state and county governments be able to work harmoniously together toward a common end. You know the reputation of the republican party for giving a square deal to all. You know the reputation of the democratic party for introducing segregation and racial bitterness. Lake county and Indiana are republican. Lake county and Indiana are prosperous. Insure a continuation of that prosperity by giving your support to the party that has made prosperity possible and an established fact. Harry G. Leslie's record is unblemished. As governor of the state, he could give all citizens a fair deal. You all know Otto Fifield and his enviable reputation. We need proper and friendly representation at Washington. Arthur R. Robinson and Will R. Wood are the men you should want. On this same ticket run Edgar D. Bush, for lieutenant governor; Mrs. Grace Banta Urbahis, for treasurer of state; Archie N. Bobbitt, auditor of state; James N. Ggden, for attorney general; Miss Genevieve Brown, for reporter of the Supreme court; Roy P. Wiseheart, for state superintendent of public instruction; David A. Myers, for judge of Supreme court, 2nd district; Elmer Q. Lockyear, for judge of Appellate court, 1st district, and N. C. Neal, for judge of Appellate court, 2nd district. We believe these candidates have the best wishes of the state at heart. You all know Oliver Sarr, and his record for impartially conducting a prosecution. He is a candidate for re-election as prosecuting attorney of the 31st judicial district. Equally as fairminded and respected by all is Martin J. Smith, who should be elected to succeed himself as judge of the Lake county criminal court. Equally as well known for honesty and integrity are William E. Whitaker, for county auditor; Hazel K. Grove, for county treasurer; Bessie B. Ross, for county recorder; Joseph B. Kyle, for sheriff; Albert A. Watts, for coroner; C. Keller Wallace, for county surveyor; William H. Linton, for second district county commissioner; James Black, for third district county commissioner; John W. Scott, for joint representative; Oscar A. Ahlgren, Henry F. Batterman, Thomas Grant, J. Glenn Harris, and John W. Thiel, for state representatives, and C. Oliver Holmes and James J. Nejdl, as state senators. We believe that all of the candidates mentioned above represent the highest type of men and women to be found in the state. We believe that a local and state government with them at its head could be the only way of protecting northern tolerance from southern—and democratic—racial hatred. So vote for them. For safety's sake, vote the straight republican ticket. MR. LINEBARGER AND A FOOLISH CITIZEN It is with amusement and pity that we read in the columns of a small local paper a letter written by one John K. Baine, a recent Dixie migrant, who is going to vote the democratie ticket straight because of the Emerson school fiaseco of a year ago. This amusing individual blames the local and state republican administrations for all of the Gary school ills. That is absurd on the face of it. Even more ludicrous is his statement when you remember that Mr. Baine came north to escape from the democrats and is now seeking to enthrone the masters he slipped away from. It's freak psychology and stunted reasoning. Because he doesn't have a Rolls-Royce, there is no need to throw away his flivver and start walking. We admit the republican party is imperfect. But the democrats are worse. He knows what they did in the state from whence he came. But, granting for the sake of argument the Dixie gentleman's contentions, aren't the schools under republican administration far superior to the educational traverties in his home state? We are also moved to comment upon Mr. Linebarger, candidate for state superintendent of public instruction, whom the misguided southern gentleman looks upon as a prospective school Moses, Linebarger can do things to a school. If you disbelieve us, look what he did to the Negro school in Rockville, the town where he is now acting as superintendent. Should he be elected and make state-wide his Rockville policies, the Negro school in Indiana is doomed. Some years ago, the Rockville institution had only the lower primary grades. Colored pupils from the sixth grade on attended the white high school. Then Linebarger came. Now the black students are jim crowed from the first grade on through the four years of high school. And if that is not enough, we might add that now one teacher takes care of everything from kindergarten to 12th grade. Yes, Linebarger can do things for Negro education. And that's the kind of man friend Baine wants to see replace the present republican incumbent as Indiana school head.

To the Editor of The Gary American: In my opinion we are now confronting the greatest event in the political history of our United States, and I hope we will not do anything that will bring to us regret. I am thinking of this Presidential Election. In my opinion, Mr. Herbert Hoover and Mr. Alfred E. Smith both are good men, but have you stopped to think that the goodness of one man will not supply the needs of this great country of ours. In other words, a good man with nothing to give us cannot supply our needs. Ladies and gentlemen, please think and ask advice before you cast your vote on Nov. 6th. May, I call your attention to the men of this country who have something to give and are giving, Mr. Henry Ford, Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Carnegie, and others. I think that we should give our support and remember the hand that feeds us and too, let us not forget the high tariff and low tariff as you know Mr. Hoover is for High Tariff. Now, low tariff means that England and France can manufacture material and supply the United States cheaper than we can. If we vote in Low Tariff, we may expect to suffer because we close the hands of those that are feeding us. Take this as my prayerful thought. Views and Reviews Should Al Smith be elected president on Nov. 6, the Gary steel mills will close. That is the statement mill owners make. And that is something that effects YOU and YOUR welfare in Gary. The reason is a very simple one. The democratists stand for a very low tariff. Their classic ideal is a "tariff for revenue only." In spite of Al Smith's late protective tariff talks—utterances to which he has been driven in an eleventh hour attempt to fool able-minded voters—the democratists will refuse to let a high tariff stand if in power. Remember the Wilson administration. Americans have a standard of living that seems astounding to the foreign workman. In Europe and Asia they live cheaper. That means the cost of production in foreign countries is not high. It means further that steel—the life blood of Gary—can be manufactured in foreign countries, shipped across the great oceans to American ports, carried by rail from either coast and delivered in Gary at a much cheaper production cost than the Gary mills can manufacture it. That's why business men and manufacturers all over the country don't want Smith and the democrats to win. That's why YOU should not want Smith to win. Further—there is the promise b by the republican party of the continued restriction of immigration. This is something vital to the black voter. The laboring class of foreigners is his greatest competitor in the fields of his widest occupation. These immigrants not only lower wages, but their standards of living make a low wage sufficient for their needs. According to the last census, there were among the adult Negro population in the United States 59.9 per cent in gainful occupations. Of this number, 3.7 per cent of that number are in the professions. 4.8 per cent are in the trades, leaving a balance of 51.4 per cent in the laboring BUTH HENSLEY Cause No. 17184.

REV. G. W. PORTIS, 1752 Harrison street, Gary, Ind As you know from experience, changes in labor effect the Negro more than any other group. The Negro ahs a higher standard of living than the foreign workman. Immigrants coming here would throw black men out of jobs or else cause them to work for a fe wpennies a day when it takes dollars for them to live. That's another reason why you should go to the polls and cast your vote for Hoover. This prohibition question—if Smith gets in, he can't change it, and if Hoover gets in, he can't enforce it. There is little at issue here. The 18th amendment was not a republican party by-product anyway. The democrats passed it and the republicans have tried to enforce it. We admit that if anyone should try to get the country out of its prohibition mess, it should be the democrats. But the fact remains that prohibition is here, and it would take nothing short of a cataclysm to change the amendment. The republicans are dry, and everybody knows that Smith's supporters, the democratic south, have no idea of becoming wet. We've had only two democratic presidents since the Civil War. When Grover Cleveland was president, we had a panie. When Woodrow Wilson was president, we had a war. We could have, kept out of both disasters if the party in control had possessed a little common sense. But expecting common sense from the democrats is like expecting a donkey to recite one of Shakespeare's poems. Every time we let the democrats play around with the government of the United States, we suffer. It takes the country forty years to recover from those things into which the democratic party leads us. We believe, therefore, in view of the plain facts we have stated, that every able-minded black man in Lake county will go to the polls and vote the republican ticket. We believe that a vote for Hoover is a vote for continued prosperity. Oftied check will be received in a less amount than One Hundred ($810.00) Dollars. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids. Bids must be on file in the office of the Board of Public Works. A M. on the 12th day of November 1928. By order of the Board of Public Works.
