G. OP. LEADERS FORESEE NEGRO VOTE SHRINKAGE / ‘Av’noo’ Political Chiefs Bid for Primary Support.. For the first time in the history of municipal elections, the Republican party realiy faces the possibility of losing a heavy percentage of the colored vote. Up and down the "av’noo" runs a current of discord as rival political chieftains dicker for the voters. Under the skillful leadership of William H, Armitage, veteran political generalissimo of many Republican administrations, the lines nave been set to attempt to a recapture of the heavy Republican majority of negro votes, lost in the gubernatorial campaign when the Republican State organization became allied with the Ku-Klux Klan. Do Own Thinking Unfortunately for the Q. O. P. leaders, many of the colored voters have acquired the ability to think for themselves on political subjects and thousands refused to be "delivered” by the staunch leaders of their own race who have held sway for many years. Thousands of the colored voters, who voted for Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch last fall, are leaning toward the candidacy of Walter Myers for mayor because many of them believe the same element is in control of the Republican organization, it Is said. Myers Support Strong Rufus Page, veteran colored politician, has been entrusted by Armitage with the task of bringing back his brothern into the fold, according to political observers. Page Is the only negro politician of any strength with the home folks that has indorsed the candidacy of I John L. Duvall for mayor, according to Beverly Howard, custodian at the city hall. Myers clubs will center activities among colored citizens at 1608 Martindale Ave., according to Howard. Forty reliable precinct workers are already enrolled in the Myers for Mayor Club, Howard says. The Myers -workers will devote special attention to the first and second ward, but there will be an attempt to line up the colored voters in the eighth ward. Howard For Democrats Many politicians believe Howard’s support of Myers will endanger hie job as city hall custodian, but Armitage has declared he has no Intention of cutting him off the city pay roll. Scores of city employes of the colored race are quietly assisting in the early campaign efforts for Myers, according to reports at the city hall. They have been advised, however, to work quietly because of the fear that they may be discharged, it is said. William (Big Jack) Jackson, who was a Jackson man in the fall campaign, failed to land a job at the Statehouse and has as yet taken no part in the activities for Duvall, it is said.

STATEMENT~BY DUVALL Candidate Says He Would Hare Experienced Police Cliief. That his chief of police, to go to work Jan. 1, 1926; if he la elected mayor, will be an "experienced policeman,” was reiterated Monday night by John Duvall, Republican aspirant, in a statement read to a Ninth ward Republican meeting.
