U John Boyle, who weights 240
pounds and stands (5 feet, 4. can
make as good a race for states’
attorney on November 2nd, as he
did Tuesday night against ait
automobile thief who crashed a,
stolen car into Boyle’s that was'
parked in front of his home it1
will be the fastest race in Cook
county political history. Boyle
chased the thief who weighed
a hrim 170 arjpip.x^nipteily a
half mile, caught him rpinned
him to the ground to the ac
companient of his neighbors
cheers and held him for police.
A fighting state’s attorney, huh!

Just why is gambing allowed to
flourish and we mean FLOUR
ISH in certain wards of the city
and the lid stays clamped on the,
South Side. Personally we don’t
gamble and it makes no differ
ence to us either way, but we
ican’t help but wonder why it’s1
Uk in some ana not In otners.
Could there be a little strained
political tie among some of the j
boys
The anti-Truman state’s right j
boys in Democratic convention |
in Fort Worth, Texas, took a |
.walk when they couldn’t control 1
the convention and Texas’ 21
votes will go to the President.
* * *
Beginning next Friday the
President will fire the big' guns I
in his campaign and will be fol
lowed by Governor Dewey on al
most the same westward trek
starting Sunday. Watch your
daily papeis for the Gallup and
Crcssley polls report. They are
usually a definite indication of
just what the voters will say
the 2nd of November.
* * *
We like Governor Dewey’s
statement, to-wit: “America must
be so strong militarily that no
aggressive power will ever be
misled into attacking us.” Wo
hope some of Joe’s cohorts will
see that Joe understands this.

from Mount Vernon, Tuesday,
the day of the election.
Just as soon as it became cer
tain that Taimadge would win,
Negroes throughout the state be
gan to express of a new wave
of terror, Taimadge was openly
backed iby the Ku Klux Klan„
iwith remnants of the notorious
Fascistic 'Columbians giving aid
and comfort wherever they could
serve. It was freely predicted 1
that “there would be bloodshed
in Georgia.”
Feeling among Negroqg it*,
some sections of the state i* run-:
high, and it is believed that re
taliation for the recent slaying ia
in prospect.
Sheriff R. M. McCrimmon of
Mount Vernon, said the victim,
identified as Isaiah Nixon, ot Al
ston, Ga. died in a hospital at
Dublin from three gunshot wounds
allegedly fired by one J. A. John
son. * •
The seriff said Johnson’s bro- 1
ther, Johnnie, 22-years-old is be
ing held in $500 bail as an ac
cessory to murder, and that a
murder charge was placed agamst
J. A. following his arrest Sun
day.
The seriff said he was told
that Nixon went to a polling place
in Alston and asked if he could
vote. He was told Sh eriff Mc
Crirnmon said, that he had th<a
right to vote but was advised nov
to do so. Nixon insisted, how
ever, according to the sheriff and
was allowed to cast his ballot.
The seriff said the Johnson
brothers went to the Nixon home
that night and that J. A. Johnson
fired the fatal shots in front of
Nexon’s wife and children.
According to the sheriff, John
nie Johnson said he and his bro
ther went to the house to get
Nixon to work for them and that
his brother shot in self-defense.
Investigators here wanted to
know why the Johnsons were
armed if they simply went to
see Nixon about a job.
The right of the Negro to vote,
along with the overall issue of
civil rights, was one of the big
questions in the eorgia primary)
campaign. Taimadge made the
race issue the core of liis cam
paign, and dug deep into the mire

communities in the quest of
votes. The race-hat;rig and raj

MINIRTER
KILLED By
AUTO
HOUSTON, Tex.—The stark
spectre of inadequate housing,
climaxed by 'the tragic death of
a Chicago minister struck by an
auto after being refused lodging,
still hovered over Houston as the
National Baptist Convention clos
ed its sessions here Sunday.
Blocked, by the severe housing
shortage, which prompted some
of the delegates to return to
their home towns, the Rev. F. M.
Tate of Chicago was signaling a
taxi to return to the Convention’s
Housing Committee’s headquar- J
ters when he was struck by an
other car.
Martin Lackeyy, driver of the
auto, said that the minister was
standing in the middle of the
read waving his bag. A frantic
attempt to swerve aside was un
successful. The Rev. Mr. Tate
died two hours after arrival at a
hospital.
