Further »I believe, that if the now agitated ‘dry" third party should become a tvality that the democrats would be the ones to benefit from it. • • • For the Negro, it is interesting to note that in c«*h of the north ern states which I have classified in the democratic column, that the Negro ;s intensely active in both parties and that before the race l is ©\cr much attention will be concent rates! upon winning the Nojro Vi • W .lever vour own opimom, however, von cannot prove that I am wrong until after next November and maybe you will have forgotten my prediction by th -n M. f I I I I .ill Threaten* To Eclipse Record | o ■■—...— o :_« Duke Ellington Duke Ellington and his Famous Orchestra have swung into a highly successful engagement at the Lincoln Tavern in Chicago, where he threatens to eclipse the record which he established at that same spot last season.
