MAYOR CAUFFIEL OF JOHNSTON, PA., WHO ORDERED ALL COL
ORED PEOPLE OUT OF CITY, RUNS POOR FIFTH FOR RE
ELECTION.—GOV. PINCHOT ASKS EXPLANATION
NEW YORK. N. Y.. Sept. 21—Gov
ernor Pinchot of Pennsylvania wired
the N. A. A. C. P. Heptember 18th
pledging that "the whole power of
Ibis commonwoellh will be used, if
neceasary, to maintain constitutional
right«" and declaring that he had
"wired Mayor Caufflel for full state
ment of facts and reason for action
taken" In the wholesale deportation
of Negroes from Johnstown, Pa. The
Governor'« wlr« was In response to
a protest from
the Association
against the action of the Johnstown
mayor in ordering all Negroes In that
city who had not been residents for
■«ven years to leave Johnstown Im
mediately following the killing ot
two policemen by a drink erased col
ored man who waa latter killed by
the police. Governor Pinchot'« tele-
gram, addressed to James Weldon
Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C.
PM reads:
•'Your telegram received.
On re-
turn to Milford wired Mayor Caufflel
asking him for full statement of tacts
and reason for action taken.
The
whole power of thl« commonwealth
will be used It neceasary to maintain
conalltutlonai right«."
According to pre«« dispatches of
September 1«, Mayor Caufflel de
clared on being asked bls opinion of
the Aasoclatlun's protest that he
don't care what authority I have; for
their own safety and for the aafety
of the Johnstown public the Negroes
are going out of this city. . . . They
tell me I'm going to get Into trouble.
I don't care what they say................ If
the rest of them I the Negroes) don't
get out soon. I'll erm police and send
them Into the colonies to walk the
Negroes out ot town at th« point of
a gun."
Upon being called to account hr
Gov. Pinchot, Mayor Caufflel at
tempted to deny he had ordered nil
Negroes and Mexicans to get out of
town, declaring that he had merely
"advised" them to get out In a news
paper Interview. However, according
to Associated Press dispatches of
September 20. the arbitrary action of
the mayor caused his defeat In the
primarlea on September 19. In a field
of «even candidate« he ran a poor
fifth. The New York press headed
the news account, "Mayor's Negro
Ilan Costs Him His Job."
The N. A. A. C. P. announced today
that it was determined to push the
case against the mayor te the fullest

investigator in Johnstown who la rap

I idly gathering evidence which, it 1«
hoped, will form a basis for Impeach V
ment proceedings
against Mayor
Caufflel. It 1« fell that this will be
possible especially in view of the fact
that
thq
Mexican
government
through Its embassy at Washington
has joined with the N. A. A. C. P. In
moving sgslnst the mayor
An offi
cial note of Inquiry was sent by the
Mexican embassy to the Secretary of
Hlate of the United Staten on Sep
tember 19, requesting full reports on
the alleged deportation of Mexican
cltlxens from the Pennsylvania steal
town. The embassy further announc
ed It had instructed the Mexican con
sulate at Philadelphia to proceed to
Johnstown and report. The embassy
contended the mayor had no legal
authority to cxpell peaceful Mexican
residents.

That fighting Governor down in Ok
lahoma City who io making history
faster than any other one Individual,
has been the friend to the man un
d«r for years. TLc story goes that
colored people In Oklahoma rafuaed
to allow him to apeak at their meat
lag«; they voted against him at elec
tion time and let him know In no un
certain term« that the colored peo
ple ware against him, first, last and
forever. This attitude on the part of
colored people caused Jack Walton
to "sit up and take notice”. He sent
for Dr. Isaac W. Young, president of
Langston University, Langston, Okla.,
an educational institution for colored
people, and to ten other representa
tive people of the race Governor Wal
ton let It be understood that he was
not only a friend to the colored peo
ple but a friend to all persecuted hu
manity. Since u‘.« election to the
Governor's chair, Walton has stood
behind President Young at Langston
and for the first time in the school's
history. It has become an accredited
Institution. He has told Young who
is himself a man of the first rank to
go the limit io putting the school
over. One ot the improvements at
Langston Is an enlarged faculty. And
through this educator the Governor
is keeping a dose tab on colored
schools throughout the state.
According to reports received as
we go to press Governor Walton has
received a telegram from government
officials at Washington, D. C m bar-
ring the use of government buildings
for a meeting of u>e Oklahoma State
legislature to Impeach the Governor.
Oklahoma City Is under military rule
and additional guards have been or
dered to report there to aslsst in any
crisis that may occur.
