DEPRIEST IS WINNER; TWO OTHERS LOSE Four Legislative Seats Won In Illinois HOOVER WINS! LINCOLN PAINTING PRESENTED TO STEWART HOUSE SUNDAY FIRST YEAR. NO. 47. DEPRIEST IS WINNER; TWO OTHERS LOSE Four Legislative Seats Won In Illinois JOHNSON LOSES NEW YORK CITY—(Special) The tide in New York City that carried a plurality of 400,000 Smith votes on its crest served to drown, for 1928 at least, the congressional aspirations of Edward A. Johnson, Negro republican candidate in the 31st New York district. Royal H. Weller, democrat, won over his opponent, a former state assemblyman, by a comfortable margin. McLEMORE LOSES ST. LOUIS—(Special) In spite of his endorsement by democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Robinson, Joseph L. McLemore, Negro candidate for the house of representatives from the 12th Missouri district, lost by an overwhelming majority. Congressman L. C. Dyer, republican, present incumbent and father of the Dyer Anti-lynchman bill, was elected to succeed himself. Mr. McLemore, interviewed soon after election results were received by him, blamed the Negroes for his defeat. "Had they split their ballot and voted for one of their race for Congress, I would have won," he said. DE PRIEST WINS CHICAGO—Oscar De Priest, candidate for congress on the republican ticket to succeed the late Martin B. Madden, has finally been declared the winner by 3,000 votes after trailing Harry Baker, white democrat, up until the final return came in. Four candidates for the state legislature also were successful. They are: George W. Blackwell, Harris B. Gaines, first district; George T. Kersey, third district, and William J. "Billy" Warfield, fifth district. All are republicans. Split Tickets Although the district in which De Priest ran went republican by about two to one, there was much splitting of the ticket. Although the first returns showed Hoover strength, De Priest trailed the democratic by about four to one. The count early Wednesday afternoon showed Baker 18,463 and De Priest 16,000. At that time he was trailing by 1,500. But Alderman Louis B. Anderson was confident of victory. "We'll win" he said. "When the last vote is counted, it will show Oscar ahead by a comfortable majority." Harrison, running on an independent ticket, polled only a few thousand votes. At no time was he in the running. De Priest's victory brought to a chose one of the most sensational campaigns ever staged in Cook county. When he was selected to enter the race in place of Madden, his nomination met with much opposition. His powerful political enemies made every move to bring about his defeat. A Martyr? In company with Dan Jackson, De Priest was indicted by a special grand jury on charges of being the head of a $1,000,000 south side vice ring. He labeled it as a plot to ruin his congressional chances. And he sought to get votes by claiming that they were attempting to crucify him at the altar of dirty politics. LINCOLN PAINTING TO STEWART H A fine audience was present Sunday to hear the program given by the City Federation of Colored Women's clubs and to witness their presentation of a painting of Abraham Lincoln, done by Wm. Farrow of Chicago, to the Stewart House. A very good program was rendered after which the painting was presented by Mrs. Daisy Garnett, president of the Federation, and accepted for the Stewart House by Mr. Cooke. Among other things, Mr. Cooke said, "It is a coincidence worthy of mention that in 1816, when Lincoln as a boy, was being taken across the border into Indiana, John Stewart a colored man, then thirty years of age, was on a pilgrimage as an apostle to the Wyandotte Indians in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, and by that set became the first Home Missionary in America. This is significant, indicat- Blames Gary American For Demo Defeat Declaring that the victory of the republican party in Lake county had been accomplished as a great surprise to him, Frank R. Martin, democratic county chairman of Lake county, blames The Gary American for the defeat of the county democratic ticket in Tuesday's election. In a statement issued Wednesday afternoon following the election, the democratic chieftain said: "The republicans have once more been victorious in election, and their success in Tuesday cannot be doubted in the face of returns from precincts throughout the county. "Although we put up a great fight, our defeat was accomplished by forces stronger than we expected. We would have won wah we been able to get our program before the people. But the opposition was too great. "The influence of republican subsidized newspapers like The Gary American in Gary and others in the county cannot be denied. They put up too great a fight to make possible a democratic victory." IS INJURED IN ACCIDENT Is Struck by Auto and Hurled 20 Feet Thru Air Suffering from a compound fracture of the left leg and serious internal injuries, Miss Elsie Roberts, 20, 2460 Adams street, is in a critical condition in St. Antonio's hospital, the victim of an auto accident at 23rd avenue and Broadway early Saturday evening. Miss Roberts was first struck by an auto driven by John Brown, chauffeur for M. D. Heiny, 3620 Jefferson street, as she stood on the sidewalk. So violent was the impact that the woman was thrown 20 feet into the air into the path of another car which passed over her legs. She was rushed immediately to the hospital where medical attention was given. She remained conscious throughout the whole mishap. Sergts. Bolden and Papp, investigating the case, learned that Brown struck the woman in an attempt to avoid colliding with an east bound coupe. Heiny, employer of Brown, has offered to pay all hospital expenses. ing that early in history our people were participating in worth while movements of this country long before the emancipation of slaves. "In its recent Centenary Conference, the C. E. Church attracted attention to this fact by appropriating money with which to buy the little stone church at Upper Sandusky and make it a permanent shrine for Methodism." One needs not have an artistic bent to appreciate the fact that the portrait of Lincoln is a fine piece of work. In its execution the painter has preserved all of the fine points in the facial expression—the infinite sadness, the resignation—which lend themselves so readily to Lincoln's greatness and martyrdom. Stewart House say be justly proud of the portrait, of the painter, and of its donors. "Loving Letty" May Get Settlement Of $500,000 FOOLISH TO FALL OUT, SAY GARY VOTERS Kurious Katie Gets Opinions; Weekly Feature By KURIOUS KATIE "Was it right for our people to fall out with each other over the election?" This was the question asked of several well known local people by the inquiring reporter of The Gary American this week. The following answers were given: Mrs. Ida Garnett, 2300 Adams st. "I should say not! That doesn't require any thought whatever—it is evident on the face of it. Falling out with each other about the election shows little sense or thoughtfulness." Mrs. Kelly, 1956 Mass. "No. Indeed, I do not think it is right. I think every man has a right to his own opinion. We should regard each other as citizens and furthermore we should be Christians to the point that we would understand and love each other and allow each man his opinion." Att'y F. W. Alexander "Decidedly not. They should at least have as much sense as Al Smith. As soon as Al Smith found that Mr. Hoover had a substantial majority he sent him a telegram of congratulation, and the Negroes out here are still fighting." Rev. A. C. Bailey, pastor C. M. E. Church "I venture to offer this advice on this occasion: I have studiously avoided a part in politics and shall ever do so, and it may be that I am in better position to give advice than I should have been had I not steered clear. "The election is now over. We know definitely the outcome. Every person who voted had a right to vote his convictions without molestation or hindrance. It is all over and there should be no ill feeling or hate ranking in the bosom of any of our people because of the outcome of the election. It is sheerest nonsense to think of Negroes falling out with each other because of politics. "We are brethren. We were Negroes before we were anything else. Let the Negro conduct himself as a man and not as a child. We have nothing to gain and everything to lose in falling out with each other. "Al Smith congratulated Hoover upon his election; there is no ill feeling existing between them. Why not we Negroes congratulate each other on the outcome without ill feeling." Wm. King of this city died at Saginaw, Mich. Tuesday Nov. 6. Funeral was held at Smith's Chapel Thursday at 2 o'clock. Mr. King leaves a wife, Minnie King and four children. Burial at Oak Hill. Mrs. Corrine Cross, 2433 Jefferson st., spent the week-end in Cleveland, Ohio. NEW YORK—Letitia Ernestine Brown, 34, black mistress for 17 years of Carlton Curtis, 60, multimillionaire New York banker and Mayflower descendant, may get a settlement out of court for a half million dollars, it was revealed here recently. Her attorneys are now trying to appeal to the Appelate Division of the Supreme court of New York in order to establish that she is the common-law wife of the millionaire. Mrs. Brown demanded in her suit $20,000 counsel fees and $250 a week alimony. She lost her suit filed before Judge Townley in a special term of the Supreme court on last March.

Bethel Choristers To Sing Here Gary music lovers will have a chance next Thursday evening to hear the Greater Bethel choristers of Chicago when they appear here in an oratorio and individual artists' recital at City church community hall, Sixth avenue and Washington street. Admission will be 50 cents. The singers are under the direction of Prof. James A Mundy, the well known chorister. Those composing the group are all accomplished artists. The Chicago Tribune says of the ensemble, "Greater Bethel choristers are unusual singers." Those responsible for the engagement and composing the local committee are: Thomas Highton, Dr. V. M.

"I did wrong, and anyone would expect Harry to be the most bitter man in the world; but he isn't." Mrs. Brown, often referred to as Letty and Tish, is from Florida, while Curtis is a native New Yorker, a descendant of the founders of the Fifth Avenue bank, America's oldest and most influential institution. The name of Harry Brown was used by Curtis for purpose of convenience. It is rumored that both are still in love with one another and a reconciliation may be effected. Letty was accused at the trial of cheating on Harry by running around with Garland A. Patton of Chicago. She stayed with him in Paris, it is said, and he was often a guest at Freeport, L.

Gordon, 20, sophomore at Iowa university and son of Secretary Gordon of the Hunton branch of the Y. M. C. A., was the recipient of unusual honors recently because of his athletic prowess at the homecoming grid game between Minnesota and Iowa. Asoka's star broad jumper, his name was engraved in a tablet unveiled at the time which bore the all time records set by Iowa athletes. Young Gordon won fame last summer as a member of the United States Olympic team which journeyed to Europe. He was the first Iowa man ever to win that coveted honor. He tied for sixth place at the meet. His record is 24 feet 11 inches. Coaches Bresnhaban and Brooks are grooming him to take the place held formerly by Hubbard of Michigan. Gordon, who stands six feet, three inches, is looked upon also as a hurdler and is expected to strengthen the Iowa track team this year in that department. Critics class him as one of Iowa's greatest athletes. Miss Jessie Dogan, 2433 Jefferson st., spent the week-end in Chicago.

Vote Is Biggest In 5th Ward, New Demo Stronghold Sadder even than Al Smith and his personal friends are Gary's black democrats, who staked their all on a party and a machine that has suffered its worst wreck in history. So ardently did some black democrats work and seek, by fair means or foul, to sink the republican ship that with a G. O. P. victory, it means their end and ruin in the vicinity of Gary and Lake county, astute republican leaders are saying today. Gary's fifth ward, where democratic activity had been carried out with greater vigor and organized aggressiveness than in any other of Gary's colored wards, gave to the republican ticket, according to reports, one of the biggest majorities of any ward in the city. It went republican by a majority of 2,000. And in the 44th precinct, only seven democratic votes were registered. Few Split Votes There were few split votes from the Gary Nero district. Most of those who voted went the straight republican way. Inability to operate the machine so that a split vote could be registered is given as the excuse for straight voting. But the democrats had plenty of workers out. The polling places were besieged by them. An Al Smith calliope made the rounds of all the voting places in an attempt to cause people to thing the democratic way by playing democratic tunes. So pronounced was the attempt to garner votes for Smith that a judge in the voting place of the 43rd precinct at 23rd avenue and Washington street, while instructing voters in the use of the machine, instructed them to "pull the second lever after you close the curtain." It is believed that quite a few nervous persons were victims of the unfair methods of this crooked election judge. It is estimated, incidentally, that probably 5,000 votes were cast in Lake county with good intent but which went to no candidate, due to the unfamiliarity of the public with voting machines. Smiles to Tears Ardent democratic workers bustled into the branch headquarters at 5 East 19th avenue with much merriment Tuesday evening. Both women and men were confident their labor had not been in vain. While they sat listening, the returns began pouring in. The first returns were fairly even. It seemed then to be anybody's election. They see-sawed. First a report favorable to Smith. Then a report favorable to Hoover. And eventually came news from New York: "Smith leads Hoover by 400,000 majority!" the case had cost her around $8,500 in cash and that before an appeal was made the ese had cost her $20,000. Mrs. Brown said also that someone from the daily press called her recently to confirm the report that she would settle for a half million and invest the money in tenement houses in Harlem. "Real estate would be the best investment," she said finally after a lengthy discussion of the advisability of settling the matter out of court. She stated that she was very anxious to drop the suit, especially because she had wringed Harry and does not care to cause him further. However, her attorneys seem to desire to fight it through to the very end, she said. SMITH SNOWED UNDER IN 40 STATES; SOLID SOUTH BROKEN IN BIGGEST VOTE "The people, Sir, is it not a Great Beast?" asked Alexander Hamilton more than 150 years ago. That question was answered Tuesday in the national election. the nation said, "yes." Gov. Alfred Smith traveled 12,000 American miles. The crowds followed him, lined the walks, jammed the auditoriums. He was given ovations greater than those received by Lindbergh. Mobs, normally half sane, became raving maniacs. Hoover's personal charm was dwarfed by the Himalayan personality of his opponent. ROOSEVELT GIRDS FOR GRID GAME WITH WENDELL PHILLIPS Then came Nov. 9. Thousands who had shouted for the Brown Derby in its campaign voted for Hoover. Those who had yelled themselves hoarse for Smith went republican. Those great Brown Derby crowds had meant curiosity and not votes. The crowds were "a great beast," and not a thinking creature of articulate enthusiasm. All Republican From Mine to Florida, from Virginia to California, the people march AD IN GARY AMERICAN ATTRACTS THOUSANDS A quarter-page advertisement in The Gary American, unsupported by any other form of publicity, had the effect of drawing more than 5,000 persons to hear the speech of Roscoe Conkling Simmons at Creation hall, 23rd and Washington streets, Monday evening. The ad was inserted in The American by Republican County Chairman Walter Schrage. No other form of advertisement was used. No handbills were circulated and no other announcement made of the meeting. Yet more than 3,000 persons packed the hall to hear Simmons, and fully 2,000 were turned away. County Chairman Schrage was elated over the results gained thru the advertisement in The American. ed to the polls and gave the republican presidential ticket of Herbert Hoover and Sen. Charles Curtis the largest popular vote ever accorded a candidate for the presidency. Forty states of the country went republican and only eight had their names written on the side of democracy. Of especial significance is the breaking up of the solid south. Vir- ROOSEVELT GIRD GAME WITH W What is heralded as the biggest football game of the Rosevelt school season is the gridiron battle Saturday afternoon at two o'clock on the Roosevelt school grounds between that schol and Wendell Phillips high school of Chicago. The local school seeks revenge. Earlier in the season, the two schools met on the Chicago gridiron and Phillips won, 12 to 6. For the coming game, the Rosevelt school team is practicing secretly until dark. Coach William Lane says that he has uncorked several whirlwind plays and he believes that his boys beaten again by the Phillips team. Inasmuch as this is the first year of football at the Rosevelt school, officials there are urging the public --- ginia and North Carolina, democratic since reconstruction days, went republican. Florida and Texas were also Hooverized. The "doubtful border states were positively for rover. Only Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina in the south, and Massachusetts and Rhode island in the northeast, followed the trail of the Brown Derby. And in most of these the vote was close. County, Indiana G.O.P. On the same wave that bore Hoover to the presidency went both county and state republican candidates. Hoover's margin in Lake county was 15,000 and the other republicans were only slightly behind him, which shows there was little splitting of the vote on the voting machines. Leslie, early Thursday morning, was nearly 14,000 votes ahead of Daily for governor. Indiana's plurality for Hoover amounts to 250,000. So overwhelming was the Hoover sentiment that even Al Smith's state, New York, went republican. Gov. Smith's failure to carry the state of New York is his biggest disappointment of the election. Tammany bosses are unable to adequately explain it away. Although the Happy Warrior had a 400,000 margin in New York City, the bosses figured that he should have had a plurality of 600,000 there. In that case, the up state vote that gave Hoover a 100,000 majority in the state would have been neutralized. However, Hoover failed to carry over with him the republican gubernatorial candidate, Ottinger. In the South But most amazing of all is the vote result in the solid south.

Seldom on political matters, which make little difference to most playful youth. But little Henry Oliver Whitlock, ten-year-old son of Alderman and Mrs. Arthur B. Whitlock, is different. And he doesn't mind telling what his convictions are. For example, here is a speech made by Henry Oliver to his class at school on the respective qualifications of Herbert Hoover, president-elect, and Alfred E. Smith, defeated democratic contest: "Ladies and gentlemen: You should vote the straighttalk republican ticket because Smith is for whiskey and against colored people. Hoover is for prohibition and he is not against colored people. "The republicans have been in the White House even since Washington was president, and we don't want any drunk men stargaring around and have saloone on every corner. The republicans have handled the United States very good and there's no use trying to get someone in the White House who can't handle the United States as well as the republicans, so vote the straight republican ticket." This speech was Henry Oliver's first public utterance, and is felt to have had a deal of influence in the victory by the Grand Old Party Tuesday!

A small village near Birmingham gave Hoover a vote of 23 to 0 for Smith. It was a real battle in nearly every state. The breaking up of the solid south is laid to three things: Smith's wetness, his religion, confidence in the republican party with the Negro leaders ousted. Smith depended on the south to stay democratic throughout, and hoped by his wetness to appeal to the republican elements in the north, east and west. Heralded as one of the greatest vote getters in history, it was thought his personal magnetism would attract thousands. But he lost. Gets Confidence The republican party gained the confidence of the south when it started ousting the black leaders last spring. These leaders were of no benefit to the distranchised masses of colored people in their states, and got fat sealing federal offices to white democrats. The advent of a white republican party in the south means a rivalry between two parties instead of a single democratic organization dominating all. It is good for the black southerner at the rivalry will mean eventually a heated battle and enfranchisement in order to get his vote. The south, dryest in theory of the United States, hesitated to cast its vote for an anti-prohibitionist. And, being protestant, it was not in favor And So Does The Nash Six Win! of a Catholic for president. The rest of the country was impressed by the republican plea of prosperity. New Party? Astute politicians say that the overwhelming defeat of the democratic ticket may lead to the forming of a new political party to take the place of the democrats. Only two candidates since the civil war have been successful in national elections. Smith, held up as a super vote getter, suffered the worst defeat a democratic candidate has ever had. Hoover's landslide was greater than the one which swept Harding into office. His electoral vote of 444 is greater by nine than that Woodrow Wilson got in 1916 when he won over Hughes. Although a new party may be formed, nothing definite has as yet been given out. It is believed, however, that something definite will be learned within a short time.

Many of these democratic don- hi have brayed their last in Lake county Wa BBR ade algo that he time for the setting pf the Sun ty . y “hae the fools who staked all on a demoert on, We “ope they are wiser now. ‘Tt is an established fact that in any city which has a large Negro population. the homicide rate is staggering. It is entirely out of proportion with the percentage of colored folk living there. Chieago’s colored population, which is about 200,000, has an av- erage of five murders 4 week [i murders among whites and the foreign element were as numerous. thre would be at least 75 homi- cides weekly in Chicago. At pyvsent, even Cicero's gang battles raise the total to nowhere near 7) deaths by violence In Gary, Negroea shoot or knife an average of two other Ne- wgroes every mouth. There are some months wherein no other race but the Negro race commits a homicide. And Gary’s colored pop- ulation is only one fifth of the total of 110,000, There is o reason for all of this. It can be traced to the emo- tional makeup of the Negro. He inherits the temperament owned by his ancestors who lived in the tropics. It is a well known fact that tho-» races which inhabit the cold northern parts of Kurope are slow .. anger. It is a classic tradition to think of the Italian, the Frenchinan, the Spaniard, and the Mediterrancan races as ex- citable and easily irritated. It seems to be something that the eli- wate produces in a people. It is further said that most murders committed by Negroes would not occur if no dangerous instruments were near at the time. In the height of passion, the black man seeks to destroy. He joses this desire when his anger cools. On November 11, 10 years will have passed since the signing of the armistice, Ten years ago, millions of men fought, bled, died. ‘Civilization hung in the balance, the wise men said. It was a war to end war. Peace would descend upon all the world. Those things ‘also said the wise men. But that was 10 years ago, The world war seems like a dream to the youth of the land. It seems almost as far behind them as the civil war. And on the youth of the land depends the world’s future. Today we find nations making inoves and countermoves. Eng- land and France attempted to sign « secret pact. Italy, under the dictatorship of Mussolini, is taking the place in the affairs of the world that Germany held in 1914. Germany is recovering and is slowly arming again. The small European nations are constantly quarreling among themselves. Great yellow China is rapidly be- coming ‘‘civilized,”” which is the same as saying she is organising ‘armies on the European plan and is tapping her natural resources. ‘Countries vie with one another im the production of monster bat- tlesbips and aircraft. | ‘That’ doesn’t resemble peace so much. On the other hand, inimical nations are becoming friciiis. Ger- mans feel at home in France and America, An Austrian catastro- phe gets the sympathy of England. That does conform to our idea of peace. And, in reality, we have practically the same kind of peace ‘that was in the world in the early part of 1914. Nations were out- wardly friendly then. Secretly they were going about the business _of getting prepared. They made undercover treaties, Allowing for changes in the economical and scientific methods, we might call 1928 the same as a few years before the world war. _ _ But in the 10 years sinee the armistice, something olse has happened. Africa is becoming more an important factor in the affairs of the world, The Prince of Wales is in Africa in the interests of the British Kmpire, The Firestone interests have pene- trated Liberia. Mussolini has nogotiated an important railway agreement with Ras ‘Taffari, progressive emporer of Abyssinia, the great black country, France pets her colonial possessions. It is conceivable that the next great war will be one for pos: session of Africa. It is the only outlet for the congested popula- tion of Enrope. Its total population does not exceed 150,000,000. Tt is capable of supporting with ease five times that number, Its natural resources have as yet been only slightly tapped ‘The world war benefitted the American Negro. The soldier who “came back home after the armistice was, for the most part, dis. Satisfied with his treatment in the south, Alhough the north is far from perfect, he settled here. Negro business has grown and “expanded. Banks, insurance companies. aud newspapers have been _aarted. ‘This ts pert of the result of the world war and its effect on eee. ee armistice day, 1918, to armistice day, 1928, is only 10 i .
