VETS REGRET LOSS OF ANOTHER COP The resignation of Jesse Taylor from the Louisville Police Department, reported to have been under pressure from his superiors, has caused no small amount of comment among the citizens. It has also been commented on by fellow Negro veterans on the force. Although there were citizens who had expected it to happen, sooner or later, regret was expressed because of the number of Negro policemen who had been dismissed from the Louisville Police Department within a period of a year, for one cause or another. A serious-minded veteran member of the force, visibly affected, said: "It was a pity, but it is only now and then that we older men can tell the younger fellows much of anything." "Some of the men dismissed from the force may not have deserved the penalty," said another citizen, "but even complains against so many of them hurts."

SAYS DEMOCRATIC VOTE WAS GOOD The daily paper report that the white Democratic bosses ordered the closing-up of joints in Negro sections because the operators failed to deliver on election day, November 5, when the Republicans swept the city, is being questioned by certain colored Democratic leaders. "In the first place," said one leader, "the Negro Democratic vote was more than 4,000, which is nothing to be winked at in an off-year election, and in the next place, it is not my understanding that the privilege of running a joint or a crap game, is the reward Negroes are to receive for their support of the Democratic party." In this Negro Democratic leader's opinion, the November 5 election was lost to the Republican party not because of the disloyalty of Negroes, but because of the displeasure of white Democrats, and the national trend as a result of the strikes, food situation and whatnot.
