A MESSAGE TO
-GALLOWAY
(continued from page 1)
Pardon my ignorance in the mat
ter, C. C. but how many out of the
eight candidates are to be nomin
ated? And then when is the final
run-off made? Can a candidate,
once entered, withdraw?
—CCM—
X ask the above questions because
I have been following the elections
in the Bahamas, through my daily
papers from there. I once did con
siderable writing during one of
their campaigns and in a couple of
my books X wrote extensively on.
their way of doing things. For in
stance, they had twenty-nine mem
bers to elect for the House of As
sembly, comprising perhaps eight
een or twenty districts.
— COM
As many a swish can secure a
nomination simply by filing a peti
tion with a certain number of sign
atures thereon and by paying a fifty
pounds ($250 during normal times)
filing fee. This fee cannot be re
turned and UNLESS the nominees
polls at least one sixth of the total
votes in his particular district his
filing fee is lost to him.
—CCM—

Such a situation results in this:
The leading rich men file. They
choose their districts. They do not
have to live in the district. That's
the old English custom, you know.
And then along will come some pre
sumed-to-be- clever-small- time-polit
icians. They will proclaim themsel
ves campaign managers of So-and
So. They will pick out some native
(colored person to you and I) who
has some little following an who has
the ten pounds for filing fee. They
will make a big hurrah about elect
ing their own, etc., and then just a
day or two before the election is to
come off the native candidate will
withdraw, leaving the rich white
man to be elected by acclaimation.
—CCM—
Of course, you know the native did
not lose his fifty pound fee, nor
did the psuedo campaign manager
work for nothing. Yes, you guessed
it, the rich white man paid off as he
knew he could all along.
—CCM—
If you do not think this is the
way they do, C. C. look through
some of my recent Bahamas papers
and you will see that out of twenty
nine seats to fill twenty-two of
them were elected by acclamation.
And then look through some of the
earlier issues and you will note a
variety of candidates for each seat.
Yes, politics, is a rich man’s toy in
the Bahamas, or in most all English
Colonies for that matter.
—CCM.—
A couple of weeks ago, C. C. I
mentioned my regrets, in this mes
sage, about the death of the father
of an old friend of mine in Michi
gan. That friend also reads the
GUIDE and this message, for here
is a fine letter just received from
him. I’ll quote it in full:
‘‘Dear Cliff:
You will probably be surprised
to hear from me, because it has al
ready been quite a long time since
you left Michigan. Strange as it
may seem, I did not know you were
gone until I received the first copy
of the GUIDE at my home. In re
ceiving it I was glad, not only to
have the opportunity of reading your
column, but glad that you had re
membered me.
Many y ears have passed since I
first became acquainted with you
and I wouldn’t have missed the
pleasant contacts we had for any
thing. Reading the manuscripts of
the books you wrote about your ex
periences in the Tropics was a pleas
ure, and I sincerely hope that it
won’t be long until you are able to
realize some sort of substantial re
turn in the way of cash from these
writings.

I noticed you were kind enough
to mention the death of my father
in your column. This was very
thoughtful of you and I appreciate
it more than I can say. I thought
a lot of him and he was a wonder
ful Dad. I have two brothers and
four sisters and we all hope that he
will be privileged to sleep among
the for-get-me-nots of the Angels,
because he lived his entire life with
only the thought in mind of what
he might be able to acomplish,
which would be of benefit to his
children.
You seem to be doing a good job
in a position where you should be
able to make the most of your abil
ity. If you take care of yourself
you should live a good many more
years. You are in a position to aoi
a lot for the colored race and for
yourself. I want to be one of the
people who wish yu every success.
Since the Civil war there are
many Negro people, both men and
women, who have taken their place
among our great Americans. Book
er T. Washington, Dr. Carver, Joe
Louis and many, many others. Joe
Louis in my opinion, one of the
greatest fighters and sportsmen of
all time, is temporarily, if not for
ever, giving up a brilliant career toi
serve along with thousands of others
of his race, in the present conflict
against the dictators. You have the
opportunity of serving in another
way- There has been much debate
on whether or not the pen is might
ier than the sword. I’m not going
to argue that, but you have the abil
ity to do a good job with your pen,
and I believe you will.
In closing may I express the hope
you will write to me when you have
time- Also, since you are in a pos
ition to do so, you will use your ab
ility as a writer to promote the ad
vancement of all colored peple. In
these trying times, and for that mat
ter for all time, you can carry on
with the thought in mind that what
you do is being done not only lor
your race but for the greatest coun
try on earth today, and our grand
and glorious flag.
Sincerely yours,
Paul H. Althouse.”
—CCM—
C. C. let me ask you a question.
Suppose you needed finances badly
and you met a friend, of 'unques
tionable financial standing, who
went to the bank with you and en
dorsed your note in blank and told
the bankers to let you have what
ever you needed and whenever you
needed it. What sort of a friend
would you say that friend is? A
very rare one, indeed, wouldn’t you?
Well, Paul Althouse, comparatively
speaking, for our circumstances
were different, and our needs were
different, did practically the same
thing. After I got deathly sick in
the West Indies and was sent back
to America to die, I spent nearly
three and a half years (years mind
you, not weeks, or months) in recup
erating and writing my books. Yes,
I had friends, but it was Paul A.t
house who opened the door of oppor
tunity for me (in more ways than
one) and told me to think, or worry
about nothing, but my writing. An.l
for nearly three and a half years I
did nothing but think and write,
and rewrite, my books. Some of
them being written over three dif
ferent times, and this was repeated
on nearly every one of the six that
are now completed. Perhaps you
•an understand why I can never
forget such friends as Paul A’.t
house, and a half dozen others, in
Michigan, who stuck by me, and,
apparently, are still sticking by me.
—CCM—
Well, the Fourth of July, is past,
and the Races have gone. A num
ber of colored business, men have
told me that the Races hurt any
number of legitimate colored busi
ness houses. In this respect I have
a funny incident to report also.
One of your subscribers told me
some weeks ago not to come around
again until July 6th as the Races
would be gone then and they were
busy each day out at the Track
making money. Well, I called ar
ound on the 6th and the woeful ex
pression on the subscriber’s face
told me, before a single word had
been uttered, the sad tale. But this
js what they said: ‘‘Yes, I told you
to call on the 6th. Well the Races
are over. The horses have gone and
the horses took all the money with
them.” What’ll we do, C. C. wait
till the horses come back again, for
this particular subscriber, or just
forget the whole thing?

nearly everyone had gone, or was
just going, out to the park for a
family picnic, I decided, along in
the afternoon, to see just what it
was all about. Remember, I ask -d
you how to get to Elmwood Park,
as that was where nearly everyone
was going. You told me to take the
Crosstown car and transfer to the
Ehrobitan car at Leavenworth. At
least that’s the way it sounded to
me. Anyway you said ‘Ex’ some
thing or other. I got off at Leav
enworth all right and I stood there
and I stood there, every half hour
or so devouring one of those ham
burgers at the stand there, to give
me further strength to wait for 'he
"Ex-whatever-it-was” car. What I
thought about the street-car system
just about then wouldn't do to print.
Car after car passed but no car with
an "Ex” on it.
—CCM—
Finally, some one took pity on me
standing there all that time, and in
quired where I was going and the
party stayed there and put me on
the right ear and told me where lo
get off. Anyway I learned some
thing right there. The car was not
‘‘Ex’’ at all but AK-SAR-BEN. Now
I’ve seen that name on cars and in
advertisements ever since I’ve been
here but it didn't mean a thign to
me. I thought it some Jewish name
until my curiosity brought the right
answer. The name is merely "Ne
braska” speled backwards and from
what I learned is merely the trade
name of the Race Track, or some
thing like that. Well, Nebraska
people may know all about that but
a chump like me, not from Nebraska
didn’t.
—CCM—
Anyway, my party told me to get
I off when I came to a large wooded
'plot of grounds and that would he
Elmwood. In due time I saw such
a plot. Shady trees galore, extend
ing as far as the eye could reach
I hurried off the car and into the
woodlands. I walked and I walked
but nary a picnic party did I see,
and no wonder, I was in a cemetery.
Finally, I found my way out, and
got another car and kept on. This
time I didn’t watch for any wood
lands. There were a number of
people on the car and so I just kept
my eye on them and when they got
off I got off. I should have done
that at first.
—CCM—
Well, at Elmwood, I walked and I
walked. Not a seat anywhere. Ev
ery table, everything was taken.
Private picnic parties everywhere.
People lying all around over the
grounds, in and out of shady nooks,
everywhere. Baskets and baskets of
foodstuff spread out everywhere
and from among the thousands I
couldn’t find a single one of those
who had previously invited me. Na
turally, I was hungry, and getting
hungrier every minute, as I walked
around seeing others so gay and
happy, playing games, strolling,
and what not. I looked for some
thing to eat. I spotted a little
building with a line waiting. Sure
ly that m'ust be a place where they
sell something to eat. I got in line.
Finally, my turn came, but instead
of something to eat what do you
suppose they were selling? Renting
bicycles. By that time I didn’t have
energy enough to peddle a bicycle,
so I looked in another direction.
Down the road I saw another build
ing. A much larger building, and
with big crowds all around it. I

when I got close to the building all
I saw was two signs reading: “For
