W. L. E.—Each wk I read
your column and thoroughly en-
joy it Will this friend and I
get along In business and be suc-
cessful ?
Aiis: Yes, you will, if you
won't allow your personal feelings
lo interfere with husluess. Friend-
ships and business do not, as .)
rule, go hand ill hand, bat both
you people well realize that you
ill list not let anything interrupt
the business, and I predict success
for you.
g, b.—Will my husband evir
come home and live right again?
Ails: He won't until you have
grown to be contented and happy
without him. Right at this time
he Is interested in having a good
time, and after he sows hi* on Is,
he will want yon to take liiiu
back. Forget about him.
It. A. J.—I had a girl friend
from Baltimore who claimed she
loved me. and now she has goue
back home. Tell ine if she is golug
to return, ami is what she told
me the truth?
Alls: Sometime during this sum
mer she Is going to return to your
city for a visit. It Is quite true
that she fell in love with you,
hut she couldn't IJVE ON LOVE
mid had to go hack home.
C. D.—I am sick and can't g>t
well. Seems like I have done
everything that everyone has told
me to do, and nothing seems to
help much. My trouble is in my
stomach, and I want to know what
I should do to help ray condition?
Ans: Trying to follow the
advifii of everyone who offers sug-
cations Is exactly what is wrong
with you now—that is no way to
gain your liealtli. Go to a private
physician for treatment; If you
cant afford to do so, then call
on the local clinic and you can
get relief.
M. J. H.—The woman I have
kept company ivith for the pest
five months doesn't seem aa In-
terested aa she once was. We
wene-to socials, shows, and various
night spots, but now she Isn't In-
tw«it«l In going. She say .ho
love* me, but I can't depend on
it
Inn: To her sorrow she does
love you, but she realizes that
tier Mug TEN YEARS YOl R
SENIOR will make too mncli dif-
ference iu your ages to consider
marriage. Tile lady is trying to
make you see the light—she doesn't
wish to lead you on blindly.
O. C. M.—I'leaso tell me if I
am golug to get some of the
money back that I loaned out four
years ago?
Ans: Indications are that, in
time, you will get some of your
money back into your possession.
hut not nearly all of it. To loan
a large sum of money, as you did.
was mighty unwise without the
proper seenritics. There is no
way to force the party to pay your
money back; depend on Ills being
holiest enough to do so when he
is aide.
A. H. W.—Is ther0 any danger
of ray being brought into a law
suit about the bill that I did not
create?
Ans: I'nlcss the matter is set-
tled tvilh the company, you will he
forced to suffer a lot of unneces-
sary embarrassment although I
don't believe you will be forced
to pay a bill you did not malic.
T;ilk this matter over sensibly
with the company and come to
■'nine kind of peaceful agreement.
I'. M.—Sometimes I feel my
burdens are so hard I can't'go on.
My daddy married again, and his
wife has five children. They don't
treat me right at all, and I h-iv
to wait on them all the time. His
wife doesn't like me, and I don't
try to make trouble for her. TVl!
nip what to do as life doesn't
teem worth living.
Ans: Oh, yes it is. Try to be
patient for a few more months as
H seems to me that the young
man you are in love with is goin
to arrange to have you become his
wife. Conditions have been un-
pleasant, but life doesn't run
smoothly at all times for anyone.
II. T. J.—I received my private
reply and was fully satisfied
There Is another question I wish
answered please. What did my
husband do with the rest of ills

He ran out to the sidewalk and

again, and knocked me down. He
then jerked me toward his gate,
beating me over the head with

kicking me in the sides. I begged
him not to kill me as did my

Memberships are Votes
Chamber officials reminded
the citizens this week that
they vote for a man by tak-
ing membership in the San
Antonio Negro Chamber of
Commerce. There are four
types of memberships—con-
tributing, regular, business,
nnd gold star, wit^ each
membership representing tt
certain number of votes. Can*
didates securing business and
gold star memberships ulso re-
ceive a certain number of ad-
ditional votes as bonus.
Officials have pointed out
that, in joining the chamber,
not only are members cast-
ing votes for their favorito
candidate, but they are also
contributing to an organisa-
tion whose sole objective Is
the bettering of San Antonio

aging new enterprises, aud

He said that 130 years ago the
Great Emancipator, to whom the
memorial was erected, was sent
"that we might restore freedom
to those from whom we had taken
it," and after pointing to the
nearby memorial to Thomas Jef-
ferson, traced the influence of
Jefferson's doctrines upon the ac-
tions of Lincoln.
"In our time, too many pay lip
service to these doctrines of Jef-
ferson," the secretary said. "There
are those, even in this great capitol
of our democratic republic, who
are either too timid or too fndlf-
ferent to lift up the light that
Lincoln and Jefferson carried a-
Loft."
Notables of both races covered
the guest stand, among them
Supreme Conrt Justice Hugo Black
of Alabama, Secretary Morgen-
thau, and several members of
congress. Neither Mrs. Roosevek,
who resigned from the D.A.R. in
the controversy over Miss Ander-
son, nor Supreme Court Justice
Charles Evans Hughes was pre-
sent. Vice President John Gamer,
who Is angling for the 1S40 Dem-
ocratic presidential nominaticn,
nnd several other prominent New
Dealers, failed to come, although
especially Invited.
But the crowd paid little atten-
tion to any of this. The throng
was tbetc to hear a greet singer,

taries. Miss Anderson's warvc!

irifc thousands, nnd it was not

gave soy indication of their feel-
ings. A huge outburst of applause
and cheering followed her encore.
Then th<ce was a grand rush for

pleted a brief talk in which she
admitted being "gratified" aud
"overwhelmed" and unable, be-
cause of the terrific strain, to
make ffiy kind of real speech.

CHICAGO, 111.—Last Tuesday for the fir3t time in Chicago's

defeat at the primary of OOP
Alderman William Dawson fanned
anew the blazing feud between
the two, result being that at tte
election Tuesday Republican Daw-
son threw his support to Demo-
crat Dickerson, a handicap too
great for King to overcome.
In the third ward, Benjamin A.
Grant, deputy coroner and a new-
comer in local politics, pulled the
cup of victory from GOP Veteran
Oscar DePriest, hero of many a
political battle and a former rep
resentatlve from the first district
in the V. ti. congress. The second
ward Dawsou-Dickerson maneuver
was duplicated in the third, whei.
(JOP Alderman Robert R. Jack-
son, defeated at the primary by
DePriest, threw his support to
Democrat Grant, a handicap too
great for DePriest to overcome.
With a record of 22 years' service
as Republican alderman, Jackson's
switch to Democratic ranks was
called "unforgiveable" by old time
GOP leaders who apparently dis-
countenance the theory that "ail's
fair In love, war aud politics."
Outstanding feature of the city
wide election was the remarkable
showing made by GOP Candidate
for Mayor Dwiglit H. Green who
was defeated by Mayor Edward J.
Kelly by 183,000 votes—the figures
showing: Kelly, 820,517, Green.
(M7.107, out of a total of 1,478,G?7
ballots cast. Tho size of the
Green vote was "manna from
Heaven" to the GOP forces, many
leaders declaring it prophetic of
a Republican year in 11)40 fur
Iillinois and the Nation. At
Green's Hotel LaSalle lieadquar
ters, leaders said the big vote,
largest in history for a GOIJ
mayoralty candidate—shows the

Political observers and students
of the situation on dhicago's

shows what effective organization | year*

In the old, GOP halcyon days

Thompson—for development of the
second and third ward powerful
GOP organizations, a smooth-func-
tioning machine had been built
through patronage awards 'to the
faithful', voter education andj
oratorical appeals for support of,
American principles and constitu-1
tional liberty. Ho potent aud air-,
tight were the Negro GOP districts)
of that era that Democrats paid
little attention to the colored
voters, regarded a Negro Demo-
crat as the eighth wonder of the
world.
At the height of his career Ed
Wright was ward committeeman,
a county commissioner, member
of the GOP County Central com-
mittee, finally a .$100-a-day real
estate appraiser for the city, and
the only Negro state commerce
commissioner. With his death,
factionalism developed within GOP
ranks, the breach widening because
no fearless, diplomatic colored
political leader was available to
follow in Wright's footsteps.

drug store, for two packages of
cigarettes, to be delivered to 1241
Kentucky. Arriving at the address,
James found three youtba—the
ages of whom he judged to bp, from
19 to 22—sitting on the porch.
They accepted the cigarettes, and
paid for them. As James turned
to leave, he was struck over the
head with a flashlight, and knock-
ed to the ground. Admonishing
him that they would not hurt him
if he did not fight back, the
three youths rifled James' pockets,
taking four dollars nnd fifty cents
in change. They made good their
escape in a Ford V-S.

picture unfolded on the local po-
litical screen. Controlling city,
county and state, the Democrats
gave patronage in wholesale lots

Negro Democratic votes in suc-
ceeding elections, the Southslde
district was reportedly thrown
wide open. Bookies, numl>ers and
policy games, brothels and shady
taverns were reported as thriving
unmolested. Then, in recent
months, Statv* Attorney Courtney
(defeated in the primary by Mayor
Kelly for the Democratic nomina-
tion) began to stage sensational
cfty-wide raids on booking places
and other gambling establishments,
making several trips to the South-
side district.
It remains undisputed that Mayor
Kelly has espoused many causes
dear to Negro hearts, outstanding
among them being appointments
to important city positions, his
demand that they get their pro
portionate share of relief fulfils,
and his active support of the South
Parkway WPA low-cost housing
project for Negroes. Result last
Tuesday was that while Repub-
licans made significant gains in
the rest of the city, in the colored
district, Mayor Kelly's colored
Democratic candidates emerged.
