For the time being, Mr. Pope is devoting his time to the organization of $50.00 and $100.00 Clubs.

ROBSION, EDITOR SPLIT RUMOR FALSE According to information received from Colored Republican leaders from points in the western part of the state a rumor was spread among the Colored voters on the eve of the recent senatorial election that the editor of The Leader had broken with Senator J. M. Robsion, and that the rumor did not help the candidate. The editor brands the rumor as false and without foundation, and regrets that any such propaganda was spread in that section. He says that he does not know how any such rumor could got out and how any sane person could believe it when several weeks before election the leader began to urge the colored citizens over the state to vote for Senator Robsion. The Leader editor who was active director of the Colored State Organization under Senator Robsion who was State Campaign Chairman for the Governor Sampson and President Hoover Campaign admits that he advised the Republica leaders that it was necessary to have The Colored State Organization for Senator Robsion functioning as near as possible like the organization of the two previous campaigns headed by Senator Robsion and with his approval and support. He admits that he warned against over confidence and the creation of a lack of interest on the part of the colored voters in some parts of the state as had been experienced in a previous election. But when he found that the economic [situation?] within the Republican State Organization hindered such a Colored Republican State Organization and he, Dr. E. E. Anderson, chairman of the colored organization and other colored leaders felt it necessary, he [set?] out to give the best he had to Senator Robsion and the party. Others did likewise, and though Senator Robsion lost, the editor says that the returns here in Louisville and from points out in the state showed that the colored voters were just about as loyal to the Republican party in the recent senatorial election as any time in the past. He adds, however, that there are hundreds of colored people of voting age in Kentucky who have never [registered?] and voted who could be aroused and should be.

Thinks Some Wives Pretty Bad
Boys Push Leader Circulation
ALL READERS URGED TO DO HOLIDAY BUYING FROM ADVERTISERS Levy Bros., George Reitze, J. Bacons And Others Offer Splendid Inducements This Week Between thirty and forty thrifty colored boys over the city who go to school are working as hard as they can on Friday afternoons and Saturdays to earn a few nickels and dimes during these depressing economic days and to help put the Leader in every home where it doesn't already go. These boys are members of the "Ten Square Club" about which much has been written during the past several weeks, and an idea of circulation building advanced by Mr. L. T Engram well known young business man who has been assisting the publisher with his circulation building program. And every home that has not been reached through the annual autoomobile campaigns inaugurated by the publisher eight years ago and already made the Leader more widely read by colored people in Louisville and Kentucky than any other paper published in or out of the state, will be reached through this club of boys who have earned the pretty little Leader Ford truck which delivers the papers to them in all parts of the city on Fridays and are to be given a big turkey dinner and presents at Christmas time. Readers Urged To Do Christmas Shopping With Leader Advertisers All readers are urge to do their shopping for the holidays with the people who advertise in the Leader. The pennies the publisher gets from the papers sold by the "Ten Square Club" boys hardly pay for the paper the news is printed on. Advertising is the life of any business and it is the people who advertise through the columns of the Leader who keep the paper going, who make the employment of the Leader force of several colored men and women possible, and keep going the newspaper which makes it possible for these little fellows of the "Ten Square Club" to earn a few pennies. Not only does the advertisements carried by business people in the Leader offer attractive inducements, but they make good news, that should be read by every reader and the reader who does not take advantage of the splendid offerings they read in these advertisement lose money and may cause the Leader to lose business without which it cannot exist. Levy Bros., George Reitze, J. Bacon and Sons and others. The above named stores have already started doing business with us. Levy Bros. is offering an exceptional value in their advertisement on page 5. Think of buying such a coat value for the price offered, and every body knows the kind of clothes Levy Bros. sells and the reasonable price they sell for, but this top coat value beats all. George Reitze at 7th and Market is cutting every thing. Think of it. Stetson hats at $6.49, and jundreds of (Continued on Page 8)
