One of the largest casts ever assembled for a local production takes part, with a cast of fifty one white and colored actors ap– pearing in the large variety of scenes. Local colored actors take stPllar parts in the production, with Herman Moore, Joe Smith, RobE;rt St. Clair and a score of others appearing.

It is sponsored by the Past Exalted Rulers Council No. 29 and the Eureka Past Daughter Rulers Council. These groups are the groups of Elks from which all delegates to the Grand Lodge must come from. They are self govern– ing bodies with their own Charter, but the main requisite is that one must be a member in good stand– ing in his subordinate Lodge in order to be a member in the coun– cil.

M. E. Church, which also had a large gathering and was sponsored by a citizens' committee of the Madison District. Mr. E. I. Robinson, popular druggist and civic leader acted as chairman. During the whole campaign there was no community rallies that compared in numbers to the ones sponsored by the Negro citi– zens. Much comment has been made over the active part played by the race in the election. All of the winners enjoyed large Negro support.

Langlie (left) on his election .as Mayor of Seattle, was his campaign manager, Frank C. Jackson (right). Lan~lie's fi~t act after election results were announced was to compliment hiS manager on the city-wide campaign which brought him a tremen– dous plurality. N.A.A.C.P. Urges Citizens to Vote NEW YORK-Without making any open threats or disclosing any immediate plans of action, the National Association f or the Ad– vancement of Colored People to– day issued a statement urging all cilizens who are qualified too vote to register and be ready for the coming elections. "We have important tasks ahead of us," the statement said, "in the 1938, 1940 and later elections and we cannot perform thole t asks ' CO-OPERATE • • • unless Negroes are qualified to vote." The association emphasized that it is not interested in what polit– ical parties Negro citizens join, but in their registration so that t hey can vote when the time comes. Some hint of the attitude of the association may be secured from the comment of Walter Winchell, widely syndicated columnist, who declared in his column of Febru– ary28: "The ='!ational Association f or the Advancement of Colored People is taking the defeat of the anti-lynching bill grimly, but pa– tiently. bers of the Order can go to Balti– more by placing a car in the Car– avan. To date we have heard no objections, and our personal opin– ion is it would be a wonderful trip for any one who could be so fortunate as to be in Baltimore during convention time. Of course all cars will have to pass an ex– amination to ascertain their abil– ity of standing the trip before leaving Seattle.
