DETROIT HONORS MATHEWS,FRANCIS VOLUME III. NO. 29 SUBSCRIPTIONS TO COMMUNITYCHEST TOTAL $605,546 SUBSCRIPTIONS TO COMMUNITYCHEST TOTAL $605,546 While Workers Fail to Reach Goal of $650,000 Result Is Considered Victory. Closing the most successful campaign since the Chest was established, workers in the Community Chest armies Tuesday night reported subscriptions that brought the campaign total up to $605,546. Though the workers did not reach the goal of $650,000, leaders regarded the result as a victory. The amount reported exceeds all previous totals. More Subscriptions Expected. F. R. Bigelow, president of the Community Chest, said that additional subscriptions which may be expected from men who are out of the city will bring in $5,000 more. When all returns are in, campaign leaders hope that the fund will reach $615,-000. Mr. Bigelow pointed out that the collections on last year's pledges had been better than expected the past month. Accordingly, the Chest will start the new year probably with something like $615,000, and no deficit. Last year the agencies had to get along with a total of $595,000 and started the year with a deficit of $22,000, which necessitated the abandonment of some work. What adjustment will be necessary in the budgets of the fifty-two agencies in the Chest to meet the situation, C. Whit Pfeiffer, secretary of the Chest, could not say. The budgets were made out on the basis of a total subscription of $650,000. Division G. Division G has succeeded, under the leadership of Chairman S. E. Hall, in raising more than 90% of its quota and has turned in twice as many subscriptions as were turned in last year. Mr. Hall wishes to thank the pastors, workers and speakers who so earnestly assisted him in the drive. The captains of Division G under Mr. Hall were: Camphor Memorial M. E., Mrs. A. D. McFarland; St. James' A. M. E. Mrs. Naomi Thomas and Mrs. M Love; St. Phillip's Episcopal, Mrs. E Nell; St. Peter Clavers' Catholic, Dr B. S. Weber; Memorial Baptist, A. W.

Lawler, Candidate for Congressman, Has Clean Record W. T. Francis, chairman of the Western Division of the Republican National Committee among our group, is deserving of the honors which are being bestowed upon him. Active in precinct, ward and state politics, he has devoted his entire Daniel William Lawler, Democratic candidate for Representative in Congress from the Fourth Congressional District of Minnesota, was born at Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin, March 28th, 1859. He is a graduate of Geongetown College, Washington, D. C., receiving the Degree of A. B. in 1881. Mr. Lawler studied law at Yale Law School, receiving from that institution the Degree of Bachelor of Laws magna cum laude and Master of Laws cum laude. For his oratorical work in both colleges he won several medals and prizes. He has resided in St. Paul since 1884 and has always been active in politics. He served as Corporation Attorney for St. Paul for two years. Later he was nominated for Governor of Minnesota by the Democratic party against Knute Nelson. Since 1902 he has been professor of criminal law and procedure in the St. Paul College of Law. In the mayoralty contest in 1908 Mr. Lawler was elected Mayor of St. Paul over Joseph McKibben, having a majority of 3,962 votes. He is an honorary member of North Bagley Camp No. 2, United Spanish War Veterans of St. Paul, Knights of Columbus and several other organizations. Attacks Platform. Making an address before the Conopus Club luncheon at the St. Paul Athletic Club on Wednesday, Mr. Lawler stated that abolition of Supreme Court powers to set aside as unconstitutional a law made by Congress as proposed by the Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota and the La Follette national party is a change of such importance that it should rise above party prejudices. "Every candidate for election to Congress or to a state legislature should declare himself one way or another on this question. There can be no sidestepping on a matter of such importance. If such an amendment to the Constitution is not believed capable of passing in the final analysis by a vote of the people, it should never be allowed to come before Congress nor be considered by the people as worthy of being the determining factor in a presidential election. Challenges Opponent. Mr. Lawler has challenged his Republican opponent, Oscar E. Keller, to state publicly and tell the voters how he stands on the Ku Klux Klan and the Volstead law. On May 4, 1924, Mr. Lawler delivered a famous address at Faribault, Minn., in which he Mittertied denounced the Klan. He THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1924 career, from a political standpoint to the support of the Republican party. He was honored this week by citizens of Detroit and by the Appomattox Club of Chicago at a reception-smoker. Mr. Francis is the man from Minnesota of whom all Minnesota is proud. said the American people are almost entirely free from prejudice or intolerance. "May we not remind these Klansmen that the Negro has advanced farther during the years that have elapsed since the first slave cargo was discharged upon the soil of Virginia in 1620 than any other race in all the history of man? Is it necessary to recall that high on the Boston massacre monument erected to the memory of the first martyrs is the name of a Negro? Shall we describe again the charge of the American Negro soldiers on the hills of El Caney? Shall we recount to you their gallantry and sacrifice in France and Belgium? Is it necessary to read again the statistics that show less crime committed by them than by any other class or our citizenship?" Again and again Mr. Lawler spoke of our loyalty; he has proven to be a true friend to our race here in St. Paul where he has often spoken on different programs and he has always taken a keen interest in matters pertaining to our betterment both socially and economically. Votres Urgde To Elect Laurence Erickson As the day of election draws near, Minneapolis voters are urged to elect Lawrence Erickson, candidate for clerk of Hennepin county. The present clerk has without denial kept all of the fees named in the federal law, except the one-half due the Federal Government, and converted them to his own personal use. This averages approximately $2,500 per year, thus increasing his own salary to approximately $6,500 per year, amounting to possibly $10,000 extra salary during his four-year term, and in addition to this he has drawn from the county funds the salaries for the clerks on this work, amounting possibly, according to his own acknowledgement, to $2,200 per year, thus the total cost during the past four years approximates $20,000.00. The clerk of court of Hennepin county holds his office under the state statutes and his first duty is to comply with these statutes. Correct the present system; elect a clerk who will conduct the office to comply with the law. Vote for Lawrence Erickson, who also emphatically denies the report that he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, which has been circulated by some of his enemies. G.O.P.POLITICAL LEADERS SPEAK AT CLUB LUNCH Roscoe Conklin Simmons and Miss Hallie Q. Brown Speak at Luncheon. Over sixty representative women and men assembled at Pioneer Hall, 588 Rondo St., Thursday afternoon at a luncheon given by the Frederick Douglas Club in honor of Miss Hallie Q. Brown, National Director of Colored Activities of the Republican National Committee, and Mr. Roscoe Conklin Simmons of the Speakers Bureau. Mrs. Eugene Gough presided. The meeting opened with singing led by Mrs. Susan B. Evans, State Director, after which the brilliant orator, Roscoe Simmons, was introduced as the first speaker. He was greeted with vociferous applause by the assemblage. He stated that he is the only male member of the Speakers Bureau and wanted every one to know about the excellent work that Miss Hallie Q. Brown is doing. Our women should be proud of her as she enjoys the esteem and affection of all, said Mr. Simmons. This is the first campaign in which women have played an active part since the complete franchisement of women, and the best known woman of our group heads the campaign. After paying tribute to Miss Brown's notable character, he spoke on the national issues which confront us. In Great Campaign. We are engaged in a great campaign, the election or defeat of Calvin Coolidge means more to us than any one. The Democratic party is a monstrosity, a party of repression and oppression in Minnesota as well as in the South. The idea of a third party being supported by individuals from our group is ridiculous, said Mr. Simmons. If Teddy Roosevelt couldn't give us a third party, no one can. Our political hope lies in the hands of the women; let us look to our women and give our strongest support to them in all of their endeavors. Mr. Simmons closed with reluctance, as he was called to another meeting. Fight Socialism. The next speaker, Mrs. E. E. Wettmore of the Republican Central Committee, was introduced by Mrs. Eugene Gough. She stated that she could not add anything to what Mr. Simmons had already said, but she wanted us to know that she played no small part in bringing Miss Brown and Mr. Simmons to St. Paul. Things are very critical and we must fight socialism at the outstart as it will take years to uproot it. Stand by Theodore Christianson, a clean cut gentleman in every respect, and the man who introduced the Anti-Lynching Bill into the legislature is the man to vote for, for Governor, and Calvin Coolidge for President, was Mrs. Wettmore's appeal. Every one heartily applauded Mrs. Wettmore while an original song composed by the Frederick Douglas Club and dedicated to Coolidge and Christianson was sung. Miss Brown Speaks. A rousing reception greeted Miss Hallie Q. Brown, who was introduced by Mrs. Ethel Maxwell. "I wish to heartily congratulate you on the splendid work which this organization is doing; our women are entering whole-heartedly in the work, and I want you to know about our splendid offices in Chicago in the Wrigley building," said Miss Brown. "Forty of our people are employed in the Republican offices while only one race woman and one white woman are employed in the Democratic office which is housed in small quarters. Colonel Simmons has eight on his staff, while I have four in my department; everything is run on a systematic basis. Our men must come and work with us and get a little more iron where their backbone is. Co-operate and assist us in every way." Women should form themselves (Continued on Page 4) REPUBLICAN STANDARD BEARERS CALVIN COOLIDGE CORRECTION In the election of the officers of the Sunday Forum, in our last issue, the names of Wm.

Church, St. Paul, was the speaker of the evening. The Frederick Douglas Club has engaged the valuable services of Miss Eva B. Walker to produce and direct a dramatic play which will be presented on Nov. 25. Lovers of good wholesome dramatic entertainment and all who are interested are assured of a rare treat. Musicians Honor Celebrated Artists Madame Patti Brown, lyric soprano of Chicago, Ill., and Miss Natalie Doxie, her accompanist, were the guests of honor at a select dancing party given by prominent musicians of this city at the home of Mrs. E. W. Welsh, 283 N.

Mr. Sydney Williams presided at the piano. Delicious frappe was dispensed during the evening. The hostesses for the delightful occasion were: Madames Arthur Rhodes, Gladys Harris, Belle Tyler, Hattie Hall, A. Crafton, E. W. Welsh, Miss Jeska Oden and Mrs. Dudley Smith. POPULAR COUPLE MARRY SECRETLY ON THURSDAY Busy little Cupid with his bow and arrow captured two more hearts when Miss Freda Celeste Alexander and Mr. Eugene Jackson, Jr., surrendered to his wiles and were secretly married on Thursday, October 23. Mrs. Jackson is the daughter of Mrs. Eleanor C. Alexander, 937 St. Anthony Ave. She has won enviable praise from critics throughout the East as an aesthetic dancer.

DAWES Taxi Business Flops When the Machine Is Discovered Stolen Car Herman Lewis, 21, colored, spent $900 for an automobile to use in his taxicab business and now he faces a long term in jail for doing it. Today Lewis and his young wife, Ada Lewis, were in district court on a charge of using an automobile without permission of the owner and Herman pleaded guilty. He said he met a Eugene Phillips on 9th St., who asked him if he knew any one who wanted to buy a car for taxi service, the price named being $1,100. Later, he said, he paid the man $900 and got a bill of sale for the car and drove to Omaha, where he was engaged in the taxicab business when he was arrested. The automobile was found to be the property of A. H. Harmon. Judge Bechhoefer today ordered the probation officer to investigate the case.

W. C. Matthews, General Organizer, and W. T. Francis, Director Western division of the colored division of the Republican Campaign, were summoned to Detroit, Mich., Monday evening as guests of the citizens at a banquet and of the Detroit Elks, in appreciation of the capable leadership in the present campaign in lining up at least 95% of the Negro press, voters and political leaders of the Western district for Coolidge and Dawes and the straight Republican ticket. On Wednesday evening at its headquarters, 3632 Grand Boulevard, the Appomattox Club of Chicago featured a reception-smoker with Wm. C. Matthews, W. T. Francis, Geo. W. Lee and Roscoe C. Simmons of the National Republican Committee, and Dr. Wm. H. Thompkins of Kansas City of the National Democratic Committee, as guests of honor. Hon. Ed. H. Wright, Major R. R. Jackson, Councilmen Louis B. Anderson and Oscar DePriest were speakers. Organizer Matthews and W. T. Frands were speakers tfor the Republican staff. Completely Organized. Never before has the pulpit, press and every line of Negro leaders and voters been so completely organized as in the Coolidge Campaign. Possessing organizing genius in an unusual degree, possibly no other Negro political leader has been accorded the latitude that Mr. Matthews has enjoyed or the opportunity to be felt in the National equation, says the Atlanta Independent; and with the assistance of Wm. T. Francis, able Minnesota lawyer, and Robt. L. Vann, directors of the Western and Eastern divisions respectively, a remarkable organization of colored Republican voters has been perfected and the work of the campaign has been carried on with high statesmanship. As a result 95% of the Negro voters have been lined up in solid phalanx, with "Faith in Coolidge" and "Faith in Negro Leadership" and the burning words of Frederick Douglas, greatest of Negro statesmen, "The Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea!" the watchwords of the marching forces. Success Assured. The political skies are rapidly clearing. Dissipating the once popular theory of an impending deadlock in the Electoral College and an election in Congress, keen political observers forecast the election of Calvin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes on Nov. 4th, giving the Republican nominee a prospective total of 323 electoral votes. In the ranks of the colored Republicans the Old Guard and the New Guard are working hand in hand, teeth and toe-nail, to bring success to the ticket headed by Coolidge and Dawes. In placing behind Walter L. Cohen of Louisiana, to frustrate the effort to oust him from his post by injunction, the government of the United States of America, by assigning to conduct his defense an Assistant U. S. Attorney, President Coolidge has exemplified his statement that he proposed to regard the Constitution and administer it as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their race or belief. And . . . "I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope, the door of opportunity, is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, upon the ground of race or color." VOTE THE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Walker, 936 St. Anthony Ave., entertained the D. O. Z. Club on Thursday night. Mr. W. E. Alexander, 667 W.

Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS a “First in Service” 7 THE WAY TO VICTORY On Tuesday, November 4, the American people will determine in whose hands their destiny shall rest for the next four years Colored Americans will play no small part in choosing the chief executive of the nation. In fact, it can be safely affirmed that in at least five states the Negro vote will control the election. There are three candidates, La Follette, of the so-called Pro- gressive group; Davis, the standard-bearer of the Democratic par- ty, and Calvin Coolidge, the leader of the Republican party. The importance of the Negro vote in this election is clearly shown by the intense effort which all three parties are making to ally the Negro voter to their respective organizations. Never be- fore has so much effort been expended to register and vote the Ne- gro electorate. La Follette makes his appeal to the Negro on the basis of his denunciation by name of the Ku Klux Klan. La Follette also ap- peals to the Negro as the representative of the great liberal ele- ment of the country. As an individual, Mr. La Follette commands the admiration and respect of every Negro citizen, but as the representative of a political party he cannot hope for their support. Mr. La Follette’s candidacy is endorsed and promoted by the Railway Brotherhoods, an organization whose efforts to eliminate the Negro from employ- ment on the railroads and to limit his sphere of employment on sleeping and dining cars have been the most outstanding parts of their program. The Brotherhoods nominated Mr. La Follette and if elected he would be forced to consider the Brotherhoods in his nation-wide progressive program. The Brotherhoods do not recog- nize the Negro as affiliated workmen. In every Brotherhood char- ter are the words, “white male only,” and this alone is sufficient to alienate the Negro from any support which he might give to La Follette. A vote for La Follette is a vote against the interests of the twenty thousand Negroes employed by the railroads of Amer- ica. The candidate of the Democratic party is John W. Davis. He, too, is an estimable citizen. As Solicitor General of the United States he rendered no small service to the American Negro. But John W. Davis will receive his largest vote in the solid South. John W. Davis will then be controlled by that group of men who are com- mitted to the disfranchisement of the Negro, to segregation, to Jim-Crowism, to forced and convict labor. If John W. Davis should win, all legislation would be in the hands of those who are avowed enemies of the Negro. There is but one candidate whom the Negro can consistently support. Calvin Coolidge, the leader of the Republican party, stands head and shoulders above the other two men who are seek- ing the support of the Negro. Calvin Coolidge comes from New England, home of the Negroes’ greatest benefactors. Calvin Cool- idge represents the party which gave the Negro citizenship and which seeks now to maintain it. Calvin Coolidge silences him who would question the right of the Negro to hold elective office by reiterating the rights of the Negro; whatever it has failed to do, the Republican party has not attacked the citizenship of the Negro and for that reason alone, we should cast our votes for Calvin Cool- idge and Charles G. Dawes. A BETTER DAY That relations between the black and white races are daily becoming more acute, and that there is little or no hope for a bet- ter day, is the contention of many serious thinkers; and there is much foundation for the opinion. The writer believes, however, that those holding this pessimistic view of conditions are mistaken. The fact that the Negro’s progress is meeting with unjust opposi- tion along various lines shows that we are a factor worth consid- ering. ‘That such opposition develops co-operation and strength has been demonstrated in a significant manner in connection with re- cent local happenings. There are many signs of promise which indicate that the mental attitude which prompts denial of civil rights and other odious discrimination is slowly but surely under- going a change. One of the most encouraging evidences of a more democratic and Christian America, is the splendid spirit of inter- racial co-operation fostered by the Federal Council of Churches in America under which loyal friends already made and others un- known and unheralded are exerting a combined Christian influence which is of inestimable value in our cause. One of the first named, Calvin W. Coolidge, in speaking of the need of America at the dedi- cation of the new hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., for Negfo> World War Veterans, last February, said in part: “It is well for us, who must live together as Americans, whatever our race or creed may be, constantly to remember the words of Lincoln: ‘We are not enemies but friends. We must not be enemies.’ Those who stir up animosi- ties, those who create any kind of hatred and enmity are not minis- tering to the public welfare. We have come out of a war with a desire and a determination to live at peace with the world. Out of common suffering and a common sacrifice there came a new mean- ing to our common citizenship. Our greatest need is to live in harmony, in friendship and in good will, not seeking an advantage pf each other. In that spirit let us dedicate this hospital and dedi- cate ourselves to the service of our country. To do that wisely, Potent, tolerantly, is to show by the discharge of our duties our uittle title to fellow citizenship with Lincoln.” e prompt action of Mayor Nelson in issuing orders, the effi- cient service on the part of the police authorities and*the de- termined attitude of the fair-minded, right-thinking citizens of the white race makes us duly thankful for loyal friends and these wel- come signs of a Better Day.

SHOWS NO “WATER” In response to assertions that railroad stocks were watered and that the investments recorded in the companies’ books were inflated, Congress, in 1913, by the La Follette Act, directed the Interstate Com- meree Commission to determine, among other things, the cost of reproduction new, cost of reproduction less depreciation, and the value of the various railroads in the United States. ‘The corporate assets of the Great Northern Company consist of two classes of property: One is the physical property used for transportation purposes and located in the United States; the other consists of investments in stocks and bonds of other companies, including lines located in Canada, and other miscellaneous property used for non-carrier purposes. The Interstate Commerce Commission recently has completed its tentative valuation of the first of these, that is, the physical property used for trans- portation purposes and located in the United States. It has not valued the second class of property be- cause not required to do so by the terms of the Act. ‘The value as found by the Commission for Great Northern properties used for transportation purposes and located in the United States as of June 30, 1915, was as follows: | Pobed OWRNG «vais asso Bi dEUS Ss Save wnt ovis a tn cue an wn ve'ea vs ogee EL TANDERNO Wedel Deed, -sansacarseenrteseovescvccesneesesvemnencaesopindee ce. SOURERMEEOS In arriving at these figures, the Interstate Commerce Commission deducted $65,140,474.00 from the cost of production new on account of assumed depreciation. The Company, of course, contends that the depreciation of certain parts of the properties, such as the aging of its roadbed, is more than offset by the appreciation of the property as a whole, as it is well known that a railroad property in use for several years is better and worth more for transportation purposes than a newly built property. Included in the second class of property and not valued by the Commission is: 604 miles of railroad in Canada. ‘Nearly 49 per cent of the Stock of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. One-half of the stock of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway.

BANKS OF GERMANY SWINDLE YANKEES BANKS OF GERMANY SWINDLE YANKEES Marks Left on Deposit Are Eaten Up by Charges. Warsaw, Ind.—Hoosiers who speculated in German marks four and five years ago at 3 and 4 cents a mark and who later speculated further in the hope of covering up their losses when the mark continued to drop in value, have given up all hope of ever retrieving even a small portion of their losses as a result of letters now being received from German banks, where the speculators have their marks on deposit. Several months ago, the depositors were notified no interest would be paid on deposits of a less value than $25 in American money at the time the letter was written. Many of the speculators who had converted hundreds of American dollars into marks at the time found the depreciation of the mark had decreased the value of their deposits to only a few dollars of United States money, and so brought them within this "no interest" rule. Semi-annual statements being sent to American speculators in marks are being charged against the speculator's account at the rate of 1,250,000,000,000 marks per letter. The speculator who, a little more than a year ago, bought marks at the rate of 2,000,000 for $1, has long since been wiped out, so far as his deposits in the German banks are concerned. His credit balance has been wiped off the books of the banks. A Warsaw man who, five years ago bought marks at 4 cents each, depositing $300 worth of them in a Berlin bank on the advice of a foreign exchange broker, a year ago "averaged down" his holdings by buying more marks at a few million for a dollar. Then came the climax and the mark dropped in valuation to more than four trillion to a dollar. The Warsaw man's account in the Berlin bank representing a deposit of around $500 in American money, dwindled to a valuation of around $8 in United States cash. As all semi-annual statements sent out by Berlin banks are charged against the accounts of depositors and at the rate of a trillion and a quarter for each letter, the Warsawan's deposit soon will entirely disappear. The Berlin banks, unlike Austrian banks, decline to furnish American depositors with deposit books, which would eliminate the confiscatory procedure brought about by the rendering of semi-annual statements. His Own Death Notice London.—Sir Charles Phillips, distinguished art critic who died recently, had the unusual experience once of reading the proof sheet of his own obituary notice, thereby finding that the writer, who had been a life-long enemy, could be fair in death. On the staff of the newspaper for which Sir Charles wrote art criticisms was another critic whose work invariably clashed with Phillips'. So antagonistic were their views they ceased to be on speaking terms. The day came when Sir Charles was seriously ill, and, to be prepared for eventualities, his obituary was written, and by his old-time antagonist. This notice, by reason of its slug line, "Phillips," and through one of those accidents which happen on the best regulated newspapers, was mistaken for one of Sir Charles' own contributions and forwarded to his home for correction. When convalescent he was allowed to see the correspondence which had piled up and among it was the proof sheet. Sir Charles found his enemy not only had been eulogistic but particularly sympathetic and discerning. For years afterward this writer of the notice and its subject were fast friends. Gold Strike in British Columbia Starts Stampede Wrangell, Alaska.—Reports of a gold strike near Dease lake, in the Cassiar district, British Columbia, have caused a stampede from Telegraph Creek, British Columbia, according to word received here from Capt. Sld Barrington. Captain Barrington and his crew, operating a passenger boat on the Stikine river, left their vessel and departed for the field. Race of Wild Men Reported in Bengal Calcutta—Further stories of the supposed existence of primitive beings living in rocks and caves and preying on animal life comes from near Pharjong, in northern Bengal. These beings are supposed to be men, their bodies covered with hair, and long-matted locks hanging over their shoulders. They are termed by the Tibetans as "abominable snow men," and the Tibetans believe they are devils, and stand in great awe of them. Several natives say they have seen the animal men eating raw yak, which they had caught and killed. The men are described by the natives as about six feet tall, the body being covered with black hair like a bear, with a red face like a species of Indian monkey. They walk erect like a man. HARVARD DISCHARGES ALL COLORED WAITERS Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 10—White waitresses are considered a better-drawing card than colored waiters, by the management of Memorial hall, at Harvard University, and the change from the latter to the former has accordingly been made.

Washington and known as the silver-tongued orator, spoke to business and professional men at a luncheon given in his honor at the Henrietta Hotel on Thursday at 1:00 P. M.

The luncheon was given under the auspices of the B. K. Bruce Republican Club. Though only in its infancy, this club expects to become a permanent organization in the community and no doubt it will prove to be a dominant factor in the coming campaign.

W. "Pudge" Hefflinger for County Commissioner. Every one who knows him knows that he is square and capable of holding the position. Our voters in the third district are composed of all the 5th, 8th and 13th wards and the 4th ward, east and south of Hennepin Ave. George D. Brewer, candidate for Congress on the Farmer-Labor ticket in the 10th Congressional District, is well known by the colored people of north Minneapolis as a good fellow and a square shooter, who is well qualified to represent his district. No colored voter in Minneapolis should cast his ballot for Walter C. Robb, candidate for County Commissioner, under any condition. Mr. Robb's attitude towards our group is known. He does not deserve our vote and should not get it. The finding of his name on the Ku Klux petition is enough and his activities in the 13th ward in the Cooper case is absolutely enough to convince the colored people who they should vote for. Vote against Robb. The final campaign meeting of the Hennepin County Colored Voters' Club was held Wednesday evening, Oct. 29th, at the Elks' Hall. The enthusiastic crowd listened to Attorney C. W. Calloway of Kansas City, Attorney Gertrude Rush of Des Moines, Theodore Christianson, Walter Newton, Tom Schall and several other speakers. Attorney B. S. Smith presided.

Old stuff, boys. That somebody would like to know why pretty B is called S's headache. That the Minneapolis boys want a Turkey Day football game, and that they intend to make a great big Thanksgiving dinner out of St. Paul's team. That half of the knockers haven't paid up their subscriptions, and if they don't "de ducts" will surely get them. That the dear brother has sure got a certain political party worried. He has learned to scratch the ticket, it is said. That this week's grand prize of a crocheted cotton night shirt with pillow slip attached, goes to the guy who whispers confidentially in our ear that he knows that Coolidge is a Ku Klux. That P. Mc. is seldom seen with the old gang. I wonder. Where was Hard Hearted H. when the lights went out.

Miss Brown said that she had a pressing engagement in Minneapolis, but would give her best speech at Pilgrim Baptist Church in the evening. Again she was applauded and three rousing cheers were given Miss Brown as she departed, by the Frederick Douglas Club. Mrs. Anna Foster, chairman of the committee, deserves much praise for the success of the luncheon. Excellent service was rendered by Alexander, the caterer.
