CHRO NIC
The Negro is not "New or is there
a "New Negro". During the past year
and a half of “depression" which lias
caused a premium to be placed on "abili­
ty™ and "merit" the Negro has nude
new contacts. To these contacts only
is the Negro new.
To some the Negro is symbolic of
joke. He is a subject to he joked about
and to be joked with. His popularity-
depended upon his willingness and abil­
ity to entertain or upon his faithful ser­
vility. Others forgot that the Negro
was human It did not occur to them
that he was influenced by the same
natural and artificial impulses. That he
cherished the same ambitions as the
whites—education, progress, health, hap­
piness, fame, wealth, and all the oppor­
tunities of trne American citircns. The
only difference was in the color of his
skin and w hen he became conscious of
the handicap thus imposed upotr him he
became a better Negro—a better man—
and a better American.
these diseases are chronic heart diseases,
especially chronic insufficiency, chronic
heart and kidney disease, chronic pul­
monary diseases, chronic pulmonary tu-
berclosis, asthma, syphilis o f the bron­
chial tubes, etc.
The chief symptoms o f chronic bron-
hitis are coughing and expectoration,
general weakness.
Expectoration may
vary from very small amounts to large
copious mucous discharges. After the
disease has existes! for sonic time short­
ness of breath is experienced. After
this shortnes of breath is ai'companied
by palpitation of the heart and a feeling
of fullness of the chest. Rises in body
^emperature are slight if at all. Occa­
sionally. however, individuals will suf­
fer acute exacerlations with
rather
marked fever

is very dangerous and unwise.

appreciated the Negro. He has proven
that he couldn't and can't get along with­
out him. When he first migrated to
these shores he discovered that there
was work to be done and he immediately-
sent for the black men—brought him
against his will and forced him to do
labor for the white men. In one form
or another the black has been doing it
ever since.
Thousands of our race from every
part of America attended the golden
annversary of Tuskegee but they did
not fill up the “jim-crow" cars in get­
ting there. On the contrary, the crack
trams that ordinarily would not permit
a Negro to travel except as an em ­
ployee, had private cars attached to them
and in these cars rode the “New Negro".
The highways were filled with cars of
the most expensive make and their oc­
cupants were the “ New Negro". But
were they “New Negroes"? No, they
were the same Negro but their material
progres enabled them to laugh at ridicu
lous laws and customs.
So, in every branch of activity, be it
politics, business, art, sports or the pro­
fessionals the Negro, by sheer merit and
ability, is going “over the top” and in
so doing he is called "The New Negro”.
FIRST VOTES PUBLISHED

mond ring—a flashy w atch, o r a music
box!
The prizes are extraordinary.
N ever before has such a beautiful
m otor car, or cash and other prizes,
been offered in this district. And yet
candidates will lag along, hoping by
some miracle th a t the other fellow
will also stay asleep and allow them
to ca rry off the prizes w ithout giving
the semblance o f a retu rn to The Ad­
vocate. T hat isn’t fair.
New Nominees Could Win
Why, today, an absolutely new can­
didate can enter this election and w ith
a few subscriptions, spring up and
gain a strong position w ith each and
every one now entered. It can be
done!
And a candidate now in, can do the
same thing. There is no handicap.
All a re on even term s. Work is the
governing factor. Salesm anship, too,
helps.
F or instance, for every club of $12
w orth o f subscriptions turned in, the
candidate gets 100,000 votes ex tra—
over and above the regular schedule
of votes which the subscriptions them ­
selves provide. These clubs may be
of five one-year subscriptions, or any
com bination you may work out—ju s t
so they total $12 or more.
Ten one-year subscriptions total
100,000 votes. W ith the extra 100,-
000 on every club of $12, th a t would
be 300,OOf And if they were new sub­
scriptions a t end of the first period,
the candidate would g e t a vote bonus
o f 30,000 each, m aking a total of
600,000, and if tu rn ed in during Op­
p o rtu n ity D ays, th e re would be also
the op p o rtu n ity bonus o f 200,000 extra
votes on every th ree one-year sub­
scription.
Thus a new candidate could, w ith 12
new o n e-y ear subscriptions today, cast
2,080,000 votes!

Chief among
Opportunity Pays
Announcement of the only special
vote offer of the entire campaign ap ­
pears today. Up to and including
May 13, is the biggest and only vote
opportunity in the en tire campaign.
Look the standings over. The vote is
very low—fa r lower th an we had ex­
pected it to be— but it simply makes
it easier fo r anyone to s ta rt now and
make a runaw ay win o f it.
Read the list today. See how few
of the candidates have been really
gettin g an y th in g but fre e votes.
O pportunity Days give every candi­
date a chance to make a real gain.
The way to win is to take advantage
of all chances to gain in votes.
How to Jump to First Place
On each 6-year subscription, 360,-
000 votes are allowed— providing the
same is received by the campaign
m anager during this presen t period.
Then, if it is a new subscriber,
30.000 ex tra votes a re allowed for
year, or 180,000 ex tra votes are given
for one 6-year subscription. In addi­
tion, 100,000 votes are given on each
$12 club o f subscriptions, therefore,
one 6-year subscription will have a
total value o f 640,000 votes and with
the O pportunity Coupon, would be a
grand total of more than 1,140,000
votes.
You can see by glancing a t the vote
totals th a t ju s t a few such subscrip­
tions would furnish a new leader; in
fact, EN TIR ELY N EW C A N D I­
DATES, who a t this tim e have no
votes, could climb to the top easily.

10— Any hallos issued on subscriptions may be held in reserve and voted a t the

lisher nor the cam paign m anager shall be held responsible except fo r the necessary
correction upon the same.
13— Every candidate is an authorized ag en t of The Advocate and as such, may collect
arrea ra g e s and subscription paym ents from present as well as from new subscribers.
14— Extension o f subscriptions will receive votes according to the vote schedule in
effect when the first subscription was paid, except th a t no extension votes will be
given during the final period.

scription either ne w or renew al, but only ten six-year subscriptions can be turned in
to apply on this e x tra offer.
18 —
To insure absolute fairn ess in the aw arding of the prizes, the race will be
b ro u g h t to a close under a "sealed ballot box” system , and will be under the personal
supervision of two or more judges selected from the Advisory Board. D uring the en­
tire la st week of the cam paign, the box—locked and sealed will repost in a con­
venient place, w here candidates and their friends will deposit their final collections
and reserve votes. And not until the race has been declared closed will the seals be
broken, the box unlocked and the judges begin the final count. In this way, no o n e --
not even the cam paign t.ianager—can possibly know the voting strength of the re ­
spective candidates, which precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures fairness
to the m inutest degree.
19— The m anagem ent reserves the rig h t to amend or add to the rules of this cam ­
paign, if necessary, fo r the protection of the interests of both candidates and this
new spaper. The rig h t is also reserved to increase and add to the list of prizes.
20 The Advocate guarantees fair and im partial treatm en t to all candidates; should
any question arise, the decision of the m anagem ent will be absolute and final
21— Two hundred thousand e x tra votes will be awarded each candidate with every
th ree one-year subscription, o r the equivalent, turned in during their first week in the
cam paign; 150,000 ex tra votes will be awarded each candidate with every three one-
y ear subscription, o r the equivalent, turned in during their second week in the cam ­
paign. These are in addition and above all reg u lar votes but this arran g em en t will
be in effect only during the first two periods of the campaign.
22— All extra votes will be issued and credited to the accounts of the various can­
didates a t the convenience of the cam paign m anager.
