DEWEY DEFEATED
AS DEMOCRATS
SWEEP ELECTION
By JOE SHEPHARD
Demonstrating the r,.’d zAsw
that a candidate i:; not otc-ied
until the votes arc ca ,i. and
counted, Mr. and Mis America
went to the polls Tuesday to
make Gov. Thomas E. Dt wey and
the Republican the victinr; of the
greatest upset in Arne soa poll
tical history
Early in the --atnpaign and up
to the final pre.eleetion weekend
even the staunchest supporter:-, oi
President. Truman and the Demo •
critic party had tell that the race
was lost to the President and
that most that could he hoped
for would he Democratic control
of the Senate.
4s returns began corning in
early in the evening, however, 1*
became clear that the voters were
not behaving according to pre
election dope and that the Repub
licans were not piling up their
predicted lead.
Carrying Ticket
•Later return ■ from eastern m
ban areas showed instead that tin
President, was gaining and cjihg
ing stubbornly to a lead in the
popular vote and in most cases,
carrying h party ticket along
with him.
At this pemt .Republican sup
porters claimed that mud-Western
snd Western r.-turns would build
up in favor of their candidates.
This failed to Drove the case and
Republican spokesmen as wc-11 a
news and radio commentators be
gan predicting that rural return?
would .diminish and overbalance
the Democratic lead which had
been picked up in tin by? •
Such Republican optmii.-.m pc;
aisted well he;p>nd midnight ano
into early morning when political
EXPERTS retreated f.-u enough j
to state {hat the Republican ,
tory would h NARROW MAR

landslide.
Splinters Costly
The question of the effort of

DROPPING OF DI AL
SCHOOL S\ STB! IS
CONSIDERED IN MD.
BALTIMORE fANFs One
of the main problems said to
be confronting the state legis
lature is that of preserving
Maryland's hi racial school sys
tem according to Delegate Le
roy Humphrey here last week.
Speaking before a meeting of
the Frinee Georges County
Chamber of commerce, he said
tha. the state fares “extremely
heavy” expend;, u res if it is to
retain the present system and at
the same time comply with the
supreme court ruling that states
must provide equal school fac
ilities for white and Negro stu
dents
He said the legislative council
has. been studying the prob
lem, bui has found no sofa
: tion. He also reported that he,
as a member ol the council,
has considered consolidating the
four major Negro colleges *n
the siate under a single organ
ization Such an arrangement,
he believed, would enable ib r
sehools to be improved to offer
a morr coordinating program.
However, one cannot underesti
mate the change which is taking
place in the Windy City It would
be well shoufi Ihe Negro take cog
nizance of the trends and changes
takihg place and prepare himself
tor the future.
There is information available
here to the effect that many Jap
anese are taking clerical and scr
j vant positions in Chicago and that
I their white bosses are well pleased
j with them.-
Jack Yasu.tr,,ke, executive direc
tor of the Chicago resettiers com
irniftve reported; "The Japanese like
I Chicago They are here to rebuild
j lives that the war interrupted.
! There are pi-> ‘y of jobs for them
! here There e.-en’t enough of them
jto meet the requests we pet for
j their services.'
Chicago offers, Yasutoke con
tinued ‘‘greater economic outlets
for the abilities of these former
west coast residents."
Therefore- from this writers’
view, I might say the Japanese will
definitely affect the Negro eco
nomic well being in Chicago.
