WESTERN OUTLOOK SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1926 RE-ELECT SHORTRIDGE FOR SENATOR VOL. XXXII. SAN FRANCISCO RE-E PRESIDING ELDER CONVINCED OF SENATOR SHORTRIDGE'S Interest in Dyer Bill In the course of our travels the week we came across a Presiding Elder at least he so informed us and said he travels from one end of the State to the other. And wherever he goes he is trying to tell the members of our race that the Honorable S. C. Shortridge did not work for the passage of the Dyer-Lynch bill in the Senate and quotes as his authority Senator Dyer who spoke to the N.A. A.C.P. at the Oakland Auditorium some time ago. Now we want to say to you that there is such a thing as a man not wishing to be convinced when facts are clearing presented to him as they have been by the State organizer Mr. Walter A. Butler as and by the newspapers and he still insists to the contrary then we are led to believe there is "method to his madness". Every man be he a Presiding Elder or not is entitled to his own opinion, but when it is proven conclusively that his opinion is wrong and he still refuses to kick in, then to use street urchins phrase "he ain't got 'im". We presume that none of the people, who know too well, what Senator Shortridge did do in the judiciary committee and in the Senate for this bill, do not take the Elder very seriously and no doubt feel as we do he has struck an open switch and is just on the wrong track. Any one who attended the last meeting of the N.A.A.C.P. at the First A.M.E. Church and heard the grand tribute that was --- paid to Senator Shortridge by those wonderful women Mrs. Hunton and Atty. Marie Marshall both of Washington, D.C., who have been before the Senator in the judiciary committee regarding the Dver anti-lynching bill and other the Dyer Lynch bill and other measures affecting our race and telling us of his stand, that alone would have convinced the most skeptical if they wanted to convinced. I do not profess to be the perfect exemplar of the good I crave for others but I really believe that a Presiding Elder to say that he is going up and down the country telling the people something that is not true is mighty poor policy. We asked him to come to the Shortridge headquarters in the Crocker building and the publicity manager Wm. J. McLemore would show him a telegram from Senator Dyer, over his own signature endorsing Senator Shortridge, but he refused to go. This paper two weeks ago, published exclusively, a letter sent Mr. Dyer in reference to this matter and his reply. At any rate the whole race in the state, seem to be in favor of reelecting the Senator and sending him back, judging from the Shortridge clubs that are being organized and the expression of the people at every gathering. In conclusion we say to the Presiding Elder for what the Senator can do and has done for our group, if you are not prepared to call down blessings on his head you can at least grant him your sympathy and leave it to the hopelessly ignorant, the role of the ingrate. RE-ELECT S. M. SHORTRIDGE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE U. S. Senator FOR ALL CALIFORNIA There is not a Senator in all the Congress better known to the people whom he serves than is Senator Shortridge. Every citizen should be familiar with his platform at this time, since he has rendered efficient service, and presented himself in defence of not only the colored man but every American citizen. As a race we must forget the color of our skin, and think seriously upon manhood and womanhood that you may instill this principle in your neighbors and co-citizens. "To my personal knowledge Senator Shortridge has unselfishly devoted his time and talents to the interests of this State, and to affairs of the nation in a far greater degree than average Congressional representatives. He is always to be found at his post ready to solve the problems which come before him and his policies as a Republican are sound to the core." --- Friend W. Richardson for Governor Among outstanding achievements of Gov. F. W. Richardsons administration, directly in line with his programme of economy with efficiency in State government and strict adherence to law and order, are the constructive improvement of humanitarian institutions of the State, viz., permanent improvements at the State institutions, $7,259,967. This is more than three times as much as ever been allowed for construction during the same period in the history of California. The spectre of an ad valorem tax does not alarm while Friend W. Richardson is governor. He will never permit expenditures that exceed the income of the State from the tax on the gross incomes of the corporations. Hearst controls San Francisco and Los Angeles. He wants the governorship to complete the political subjugation of California. Do the people of the State want the tentacles of Hearst fastened to the State government? A vote for Young is a vote for Hearst. ~Mesdames Bouldin, Griffin, and Scott, of Richmond, Va., are guests of Mrs Hy Calhoun on 5Sth street Mrs. W. W.

AUGUST 21. 1926 The campaign has progressed to the stage that the fight for the Republican nomination for Governor has narrowed down to F. W. Richardson for re-election and C. C. Young for Lieutenant-Governor. All others are merely running, so it is up to the voter to consider the reords of the men and their affiliations. Mr. Young belongs to the Johnson crowd and if elected the machine will be brought into being. Young is a resident of classic Berkeley, and it is alleged that he is a member of a real estate firm. If this be a fact, with the all-important subject of residential segregation likely to crop up in some manner in the coming State legislature, we believe it to be the part of wisdom to be careful and see that no man whose past affiliations and sympathies are against us should slip through. We know that Richardson signed the anti-mask bill, we know he stands for law and order, and about the only charge that is made against the Governor is that he has pried the tax-eaters from their jobs, and regardless of the mass of figures to confuse the record shows real economy and a surplus. Re-elect Friend W. Richardson. Down in Missouri, in Dyer's district, where our group has a preponderance of voters, two race candidates wanted the nomination. Neither would give way in the interest of the race. Result, Dyer will continue to represent the district, and the race is taught another lsson of the utter lack of leadership. "If I cannot, you shall not." The taxpayers of Oakland will probably escape a raise on the valuation of property this year. Budget makers announce that the tax rate will likely be the same as last year—$2.50 on $100 This is very kind, and no doubt will be appreciated by taxpayers But we suppose a city beautiful must have money to run it. Do club women play politics? If some of the gossip that has leaked out of inner circles of the state federation is true, our politicians will have to take their hats off to the ladies. But we hope those whose ambition for monors will keep in mind the duty they owe to others, as amation is sometimes dangerous Let the Dead Bury Their Dead We are indebted to Dr. Parkes Sadman for an illuminating exposition of the text "let the dead bury their dead." He reminds us that the saying was in all probability a current proverb and points out the difficulty in translating the pithy expressions from one language to another. He says the rendering should be "Let the undertaker bury your dead."---Star of Zion. BABY MORTALITY ALARMING If the recent figures just released by the United States census returns, relating to the excessive death rate among Negro babies is true it shows an alarming situation. According to these figures which cover some thirty states and the District of Columbia, the proportion of deaths among Negro infants less than one year of age was nearly double and in some places more than double those of whites. The accuracy of this is, however, open to question on the ground that records of births are not always as exact as records of deaths. Even at that the excess of deaths is still too great. If there is a failure to report the births, in many cases, it would tend to show a disproportionate death rate, because there could be no failure to report the deaths. The investigator who studied these figures, called the attention to the fact that the City of Wilmington, Del., had the unenviable distinction of having a larger colored infant mortality than any other city having a population of one hundred thousand or more inhabitants. And yet Wilmington has at least ten colored physicians and a colored member on the Board of Health: We publish here a few of the cities mentioned in the tabulated statement sent us to give our readers an idea how it stands in the cities we are most familiar with. Oakland 83 colored 64 white San Francisco, 76 colored 53 white Los Angeles 54 colored 66 white If the facts are as indicated by these ingues, there is something radically wrong with the treatment or lack of treatment given infants by doctors, nurses or midwives. In Washington, D. C., where there is no scarcity of colored doctors, and nurses, there were twice as many deaths among colored infants as of the other race. The survival of any race depends upon the saving of the children and their growth to maturity. Insurance rates are also based upon the ratio of deaths to population and an excessive death rate means increased premiums. The importance of these statistics to the well being, and in fact the continued existence of the race cannot be disputed. It is up to the doctors to take up this matter and to investigate it from every standpoint. We have in Oakland and San Francisco a free baby clinic and it would be a grand idea to have Busch-Orviss for such a purpose and supported entirely by members of our group and all our doctors give free of their time two hours daily. Then they should inquire if there is anything fundamentally wrong in the treatment of expectant mothers and their offspring. If there is lack of proper care in such cases, measures should be proposed to provide a remedy. The New York Age suggests: Let the facts be obtained through the members of the association and published broadcast, so that the danger of another vanishing race in Amer may be averted. WHITE PROTEST AGAINS DISCRIMINATION According to a news article in NEWSPACIFIC Defender of Los Angeles white residents of that city protest against color discrimination in ELKS' opening of a swimming pool on East Side by the City Park commission and Recreation Board. It in part: The pool is located on East 22nd street between Central avenue and Naomi street. It was opened Last week bathers Saturday, July 17, in chan Medea of white attendants, who made it per Blued only in cases of color and as Angel the restriction ended. There is one tune, one pool, and boys and girls are headowed to swim together in politician plunge. All white persons and of Latin and Caucasian blood Angeles is refused admittance, and were spect. by the attendants that the pool. New for Black Americans only. Man the residents in the vicinity of "We pool who are white are loudly financial testing against the discriminationreaten the Park Commission in not ain the soing their children to the freedom of the plunge. It appears to us this is a hat the where the Los Angeles branch dreams t N. A. A. C. P. should protest season g as long and as loudly as if it grob the other way. IN SOCIETY'S In July, the California Lea and S. F. Cerris, jointly with Civic League of Colored Wor Voters, entertained Princess Loc of Sweden as a unit. The colo ladies had a representative num to attend ti grand and hono function at the St. Francis hotel were given choice seats. Am the number were the president Miss V. Simmons, and Mrs Mabs a Shortridge campaign worker. Farewell Dinner Party On July 11th, a farewell dimout party was tendered to Prof. W. politic Thomas upon his departure upon a dramatic tour to the East. Misswhite Merva and Vivian Simmons of 25 Negro Sutter street were hostesses of trender affair. Many warm friends wof the present. Toasts and best wish first s were extended for successful sojourn s Mr. Thomas will visit his wifepoor relatives in Washington, D.C. Thearm Western Outlook joins with otherboth in wishing him success. New Officers Elected Friday, July 23rd, the Women's Civic League met at Community Centre. Officers for ensuing yet were elected. Miss V. Simmons was elected president to succeed Miss Gene Hobson. E. Marshall of the Volunteer and Edward Mabson, candidate to and A sembly, addressed the ladies and gave them instructions as to voting last week Brother Watkins' Old Man Meddler was singing "Newsster Blues," but this week the Angeles Eagle has picked up tune, and is singing them under the heading of "Newspapers and Citizens," and he says that Los Angeles is just like Chicago in this spect. He says: Newspapers and Politicians "We learn that a prominent financial magnate of Chicago has threatened to spend no more money to the south side. For the sake of people outside of Chicago let us save the south side of Chicago means the colored section. The reason given for this decision is that Negro leaders to whom money has been given have usually failed to spend the money for the campaign. Without having the least bit of interest in the magnate referred to we want to sav that the decision is on the whole sensible and just. It is not limited to Negro politicians either. Now, as every well informed person knows, a great number of Negro politicians and preachers simply fool white men out of large sums of money from year to year. They go in and get money which is seldom put into the campaign. A few circulars and hand-bills are got out a few days before election, and the rest of the money is pocketed. There are unquestionably certain high-type ministers and public men but most of those who frequent the political headquarters are primarily grafters. Recently two prominent white office-holders told us how a Negro preacher of Chicago had pretended to sell his congregation. One of them said this Negro minister first sold him the congregation; then he sold the congregation to his opponent. When each opponent learned of the minister's action both went to see the gentleman on the cloth. Whereupon the swallow WHY RICHARDSON? state treasury bankrupt in 1922 over $11,000,000 surplus in theeral fund in 1926. There is the dence of Richardson's efficiency economy. POLITICAL HORIZON By the Scribbler The political situation has clarified and a line-up of interests and combinations is apparent. Of course the Senatorial battle keeps the middle of the stage with Senator Shortridge in action. The fight is being carried into the camp of the foes. The so-called world court issue has caused no stampede, as the voters are far too intelligent not to see through the game. Senator Hiram Johnson's getting into the fight for Clarke and Young it is argued, will have a reactionary effect, as it is known that the Johnson crowd is for his two candidates but his anti-administration attitude will align the old-line Republicans against his candidates, so that it is doubtful whether the Johnson indorsement is an asset or a liability. The Fourth Congressional district is a storm centre. Mrs. Kahn is going to have the fight of her life to retain her seat. It looks as though the Jewish element is spli'. Legislative battles in Assembly and Senatorial distrlcts are attracting much attention, as both factions are lined up to capture the next legislature. Attorney Mabson is on the ballot in the 30th district This is the district that has the notorious improvement club, whose futile attempts to segregate our group came to naught. Down in the citrus belt, we hear that Fred Roberts is sitting pretty—only one candidate opposing, and he is not making a fight. William McFarland in the 39th district should bring out every race vote in the district. Mac is capable and would worthily represent the race and the district. We are for Mac. These are busy davs far our old college chum, Geo. Watkins, getting out special editions and cashing checks from admiring subscribers. Newspaper Blues has no terrors for our friend.

I do so with full knowledge that it will provoke determined opposition from the underworld, which my office has so vigorously combated in endeavor to keep the county clean for men and women who desire to maintain themselves and raise their children as good American citizens. I wish to say that during my incumbency, we have secured convictions in 414 out of 499 felony cases disposed of in the superior court. This is an average of 83 per cent. convictions, as compared with an average of 66 per cent. throughout the State according to figures of Attorney-General Webb. I ask only to the confidence and support of the decent people of the county, with whom I am at all time willing to stand or fall. EARL WARREN Opposite S. P. and U. P.

And so on down the line. Elks' Rest Announcement that Oakland is to have a $20,000 Elks' Rest is welcomed by the entire community. Such a building as is planned by Athens Lodge No. 70 Home Association will emphasize Oakland's growth before the whole country. It is to be located on Eighth street near Union. Last Saturday, in company with Dr. W. W. Purnell and J. L. Derrick, we had the pleasure of inspecting it, as it is being remodelled so as to provide a meeting place for Mizpah Temple No. 18, Daughter Elks, as well as Athens Lodge, No. 70. That the final details may be perfected, and the building finished as planned is a hope which race shares with order members of which are known for the whole-hearted support they give to a worthy enterprise. Oakland is destined to be a great city. The community on the east side of the bay will have a vast population. It is well there are men and organizations here who have the realization, vision, and courage to prepare for that time. Their very preparations hasten the day and add to the size and prestige of the eastbay. Buildings of the kind projected stamp a group with individuality, make it independent. Halls to Let It is unfortunate that every time there is a new hall thrown open to members of our group, some jazz crowd secures the rental of it, and spoils the chances in a short time of our race securing it again. In strolling around this week attention was called to Golden Gate hall at 58th and San Pablo. The Home club has used it for years for their monthly socials, without the least bit of trouble. Last week it was used by Clem Raymond's jazz orchestra, and we are told a fight occurred, and a man was thrown over the railing on the stairs, and Keeton's Music Academy 887 Thirty-third St. OAKLAND, . . .

It was the first occasion of Gov. Richardson addressing colored folks in this city during the intensive campaign for the Republican nomination for governor. The church was decorated with American flags, and the robed choir sang patriotic songs and Negro spirituals. The pastor, Rev. Dr. G. W. Shields having made the presentation speech of the master of ceremonies, Mrs. A. E. Walker delivered in her characteristic wav a warm endorsement of the governor's administration. When Gov. Richardson arose to speak he was greeted with a perfect ovation, and his address, from time to time, was punctuated with applause. His audience, throughout his short address appeared to be in thorough svmpathv with the speaker and he closed his address amidst tumultuous applause. The next speaker was Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the Bethune-Cookman institute of Davtona, and president of the National Colored Womens Federation of clubs that had just adjourned a meeting in Oakland. Mrs Bethune is the foremost woman in the public life of her people in the United States. Mrs. Bethune listened attentively to the address of Gov Richardson and in her interesting talk of Negro we fare work, she said among other things: "I wish to congratulate you, my people of this wonderful State with its wonderful opportunities for human progress, in having for your chief executive a man whose sympathies are broad, deep and patriotic I have listened with my hope growing stronger and stronger, to the plain, outspoken address of your governor, and I feel that it is not only to your interest, but it is also a bounden duty, that you support your governor for re-election. "I shall return to my life work in Florida with this message to them—Go West, to California, where you will have an opportunity under the rare executive ability of Governor Richardson, to find the spirit of fair play and encouragement in all your elevated endeavors." The effect of the governor's speech was immediately evident following the programme, when in an informal levee hundreds of prominent people, including leaders of the race, crowded about Governor and Mrs. Richardson, and grasped their hands with pledges of unstinted support at the coming primary and subsequent election TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR RENT---A four room modern bungalow, near car line; rent $25 Apply Garnet Quinn, 1513 Prince street, Berkeley.

Dobbins 1207 Powell street, San Francisco FARL WARREN The office of District Attorney of Alameda county is one of great importance and responsibility, as this is the officer who stands as a menace to the criminal element, and a safeguard to decent citizens. A venal man in this office would be a calamity, but with our present prosecuting officer at the helm, evil-doers know that all the machinery of the law will be put in motion to punish him. Although Mr. Warren stands in the role of an avenger, he is known to be generous, kind-hearted and charitable. With these admirable qualities, he has a host of friends in all stations of life. The voter makes no mistake by placing a cross opposite his name on August 31. DEATHS OF THE WEEK Mrs. Cora Carter of Los Angeles died suddenly on July 30.
