Y.—Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the North Carolina College for Negroes, Durham, N. C., chairman of the Durham Stock-Taking and Fact-Finding conference, and one of the outstanding Negro leaders in the United States, is sponsoring the monthly award of valuable books on Negro history and achievement to Negro school children in the United States who submit monthly the best work in drawings and water colors. Altogether there are eight prizes, four for water colors and four for drawings, all carrying awards for equal values. The Messenger, a monthly magazine located at 2311 Seventh Avenue, New York City, and edited by Negroes, is handling the contest, judging the work submitted, reproducing the art work of the winners in its pages and making the monthly awards. Over 500 Negro schools, mainly in the southern states, are being notified. The first selected drawings and water colors will appear in the May number, and then in each number thereafter until the end of the school term. Further information about the James E. Shepard Awards will be gladly given by The Messenger. EASTER SERVICES AT CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON The services at St. Philip's Episcopal church will be as follows: Holy communion, 6:30 a. m.; full morning service, sung eucharist with special music and sermon at 11 o'clock; and children's vesper service at 6 o'clock. WOMAN'S AUXILIARY SPANISH WAR VETERANS Woman's Auxiliary of Capt. Allen Allensworth camp of Spanish War Veterans, held their meeting last Wednesday evening with a good attendance. Business was transacted. Two ladies eligible for membership were present. Plans were made for the ladies to invite their husbands to the next meeting which will be held Wednesday, April 11 at 8:30 p. m. at St. Benedict's community home. Refreshments will be served. All comrades and their wives are invited to come and get acquainted. Commander Eugene Thomas of Captain Allen Allensworth camp No. 25 was a visitor and spoke of a popularity contest the camp expects to put on in the near future. W. M. Stebbins, State Treasurer. (Republican) STEBBINS, STATE TREASURER SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED Citizens of Nebraska who are familiar with the fine record made by W. M. Stebbins, as state treasurer, in his wise and economical handling of staea funds are unanimous in the opinion that he ought to be retained in office. He is a candidate for renomination at the primary and will doubtless receive, as he should receive, a decisive vote. THE MONITOR McMILLAN ORGAN ADMITS THAT GANG HAS SINGLETON MARKED FOR SLAUGHTER AIN'T POLITICS GRAND? (From The Omaha Guide) Politics IS grand, but the brand being served now in Omaha is what you might call a huge mess. Well meaning, but uninformed members of our group are going around in circles crying "wolf, wolf," when the only thing necessary is to stop and consider the conditions and circumstances as they really exist, calling a SPADE a SPADE. The objective desired by each member of the race should be that the two seats we now hold in the state legislature be retained for the race. The best method of reaching this objective should be found and carried out despite our personal feelings or clannish inclinations. To this end The Guide, feeling its duty to its readers and to the community, has made some extensive investigations and herewith presents them for your guidance. THEY SAY, two years ago the campaign of Dr. Singleton was financed and conducted by the MACHINE (whoever that is), and after being elected with their unlimited support, Dr. Singleton turned TRAITOR to his benefactors. With the unlimited support of the aforesaid MACHINE, Singleton was nominated with a majority of only 115 votes. The question naturally arises, what would have been the result without this support? Now because of Singleton's ingratitude the aforesaid MACHINE has passed the word down the line that they will not only withdraw their support from Singleton, but will get squarely behind ANYBODY to see that Singleton is defeated. Regardless of how plorable this may seem, it is a fact, and a fact with which we must reckon if we wish to retain the seat in the legislature. It has been suggested that either Singleton or McMillan withdraw from the race. If McMillan, for instance, should withdraw, could Singleton win with the handicaps outlined above, together with the fact that many of our race leaders (?) worked and voted against him at the last election? The aforesaid MACHINE says it will go the limit to bring about his defeat. It behooves us then to get behind someone who has not these handicaps. McMillan foresaw this predicament and seeing no other Negro had filed in the district he, at the last minute, filed, thereby placing himself on the sacrificial altar of public opinion for the sake of the race. With the above facts before us, common sense should direct the course to pursue, if we desire a colored man to represent the Ninth legislative district at Lincoln. All of which proves that politics IS grand.—The Omaha Guide, March 16, 1928. SAM KLAVER HUSTLING FOR NOMINATION Sam E. Klaver, an active young republican lawyer, who is well-liked by all who know him, is putting up a vigorous campaign for the nomination for state representative in the Tenth district. He is constantly on the go and in addition to his personal work he is advertising extensively and going after the job in dead earnest. He attended Cass school and is a graduate of the Omaha University School of Law. Political prognosticators prophesy that the prize will be between F. L. Barnett, the present incumbent, who is not idle either, and Klaver. BISHOP SHAYLER CONFIRMS AT ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH The Palm Sunday services at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon were attended by large congregations both in the morning and in the afternoon. At the 11 o'clock service the sacrament of holy baptism was administered to two adults, Forrester Scott and Mrs. Anna Banks. In the afternoon at 5 o'clock Bishop Shayler made his annual visitation and confirmed a class of eight persons. His practical address to the class and his able and instructive sermon based on the text, "Earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints," made a deep impression on the large congregation. Omaha, Nebraska, Friday, April 6, 1928 EDITORIAL Citizenship brings with it important duties and responsibilities. One of the most important duties of an American citizen is that of going to the polls and conscientiously casting his ballot for such candidates as he honestly believes are best qualified to be entrusted with the administration of our government, city, county, state and national. Voting is not only a privilege but a DUTY. Those who hold up their hands in holy horror at the mention of politics and claim that it is "too dirty a game" or "too dirty a business" for them to have anything to do with, are standing in their own light and are not good citizens. They are shirking a responsibility; nor can they avoid any odium, if odium there be, attached to the government—local, state or national, because they stay away from the polls and are too righteous, too indifferent or too lazy, to discharge their political duty. Politics is the science or the art of government, or the administration of public affairs. It is therefore the concern of all the people as to how and by whom the affairs of government shall be administered. However, since all the people cannot give themselves to the active administration of government, therefore they must choose certain representatives of themselves to carry out their wishes in matters of public policy. These representatives must be elected by the votes of the people. It is they who say who shall be the President of the United States; who shall be their senators and representatives in the United States congress; who shall be the governor of their state, the members of their state legislature; the chief justice, the attorney general, judges of their districts, mayor, councilmen and down the line to constable. Every citizen is vitally concerned with the kind of men elected to office. This is especially true of minor groups of our citizenship, among which we as a people fall; therefore, we of all people ought not be indifferent to our political privileges and duties. We ought to take an intelligent and active interest in every election, and especially in the Primary election, for it is there, we declare our FIRST CHOICE; it is there where we name the candidate of our particular party whom we want to run against the candidate of the opposing political part for a particular office in the general election. If we do not nominate the candidate we want at the Primary, then, of course, we cannot vote for him in the general election. His nomination comes first and that is done at the Primary. Don't you see, then, how important it is that you should get out and vote at the Primary next Tuesday? Be sure to vote for the candidate you want, and give every other fellow the same privilege. The important thing is to go to the polls and vote. While we as a group should be interested in all candidates from presidential down to constabular, we have an added incentive in the fact that there are four candidates of our race seeking nomination at this time, three for State Representatives and one for Public Defender; and although we regret, keenly regret, that there are two candidates in the Ninth district, where there ought only to have been one, and because of the principle involved we are frank to say that we are going to use our influence to elect one and defeat the other, nevertheless, we urge upon our people to go to the polls and vote for their choice. We wish the solid race vote in the two legislative districts might be cast for one candidate, thus demonstrating our unity and solidarity, which of course cannot now be done in the Ninth district because of the unfortunate division there, and for our one candidate for Public Defender. A solid race vote can be cast and should be cast in the Tenth district for our one candidate there and also for our one candidate for Public Defender. Vote as you consciciously think best. The important thing is to VOTE! NOMINATE SINGLETON IN THE NINTH DISTRICT As is known there are two Negro candidates in the Ninth district. One is the present incumbent, Dr. John A. Singleton, who made an excellent record, as did also his colleague, F. L. Barnett from the Tenth district, in the last session of the legislature. The other is Dr. Aaron M. McMillan, who was induced to file at the eleventh hour for the express purpose of defeating him because he was "too independent" for "the gang" or machine which claimed ALL the credit for his election. Please bear in mind that "the gang" or the machine is not composed of members of the race, but of men of the other race, who USE Negroes, when it serves their purpose to do so, to help carry out their political plans. It is not necessarily a republican machine or organization, but an interlacing nonpartisan organization, which will support either democrats or republicans who will be subservient to its wishes. That McMillan filed at the behest of the machine is proven by the admission of The Omaha Guide, which is backing McMillan, in its editorial of March 16th, published in full elsewhere in this issue. We quote one of its admissions which proves our point here: This is its language: "The aforesaid MACHINE says they will go to the limit to bring about his (Singleton's) defeat. It behooves us then to get behind someone who has not these handicaps. McMillan foresaw this predicament and seeing no other Negro had filed in the district, he at the last minute filed, thereby placing himself on the sacrificial altar of public opinion for the sake of the race." It is a matter of common knowledge that the machine tried to get other Negroes to file against Singleton, but they had the manhood to decline to do so, and so the doubtful honor was reserved for Dr. McMillan to immolate himself "on the sacrificial altar of public opinion for the sake of the race." Please don't laugh! Martyrdom should move us to tears, not provoke us to laughter! And what a glorius martyrdom was this! His great sacrifice (?) "for the sake of the race," can, however, be judged only by his soulful confession made to the committee, of which the Editor was one, which waited upon him requesting him to withdraw, when in answer to a plea made to him by the Rev. O. J. Burckhardt, to "consider the interests of the race," he frankly replied, "This race talk is all right, but let me tell you gentlemen, I am interested in Dr. McMillan first." He is to be admired for his honesty and frankness of this confession, buit it hardly accords with the halo of martyrdom with which his endorsing organ would surround him. Hardly, does it? But this aside. Our main purpose was to prove that by the admission of his backers he was induced to file, for the sole purpose of bringing about Singleton's defeat. Rev. John Adams, who it is alleged can outweep weeping Jeremiah, says the same thing in other words in his letter published in a recent issue of our contemporary. The Monitor desires to thank the opponents of Singleton for the verification of The Monitor's statement that McMillan was induced to file to defeat Singleton. The Monitor's reputation for knowing what it is talking about is again sustained. The issue in the Ninth district, then, is now a clearly-drawn contest between principle and expediency. Shall we select our own leaders or have them selected for us? Shall we be men or things? Shall we be in bondage or free? Shall we cringe under the lash of some master, be it personal or mechanical, a man or a machine. Is it true that all the Negroes of Omaha are so subservient to the gang that when it cracks the whip we all jump and run? That it snaps its fingers and we obey its behest. Shall we have a man who has the manhood and courage to vote according to his honest convictions or one who will vote absolutely as he is told? These are questions for the voters of the Tenth to decide and we have confidence to believe that they will assert their manhood and good sense by renominating Singleton, whose official record at Lincoln is without reproach. Y. W. C. A. NOTES A most inspiring program will be rendered Easter afternoon, at the North Side Branch, Y. W. C. A., at 4 p. m., sharp, under the direction of Miss Cuma Watson.

Singleton, and are anxious to see him re-elected to the state legislature from the Ninth Legislative district: S. W. Mills, chairman; Dr. J. H. Hutten, treasurer; A. B. Matthews, secretary; Dr. G. B. Lennox, physician and surgeon; Dr. J. J. Jones, dentist; Dr. J. B. Hill, Dr. Herbert Wiggins, Dr. D. W. Gooden, J. H. Holmes, Nat Hunter, Wm. B. Bryant, Mrs. M. L. Hunter, J. W. Beckman, Robert D.

BAYSE FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL As election time draws near, the sentiment in favor of Mr. Lee Bayse for attorney general increases with leaps and bounds. He seems to be sweeping the state and lawyers and judges are rallying to his support. If the people nominate Mr. Lee Bayse for the office of attorney general, they will secure one of the strongest and most efficient men that can be obtained for that office. INVESTITURE SERVICE FOR BOY SCOUT TROOP Last Friday night at the Central Y. W. C. A., before an audience of parents and friends of the boys, an GROWING — THANK YOU Whole Number 661 AMATEUR PLAYERS TO SEE 'CRICKETS' OPEN Members of Colored Amateur League to Be Opening Game Witnesses at Western League Initial Contest GUESTS OF PRESIDENT BURCH All members of the Omaha Colored Amateur Baseball league will see the opening game of the Western league at Omaha next Thursday afternoon, as the guests of President "Barney" Burch of the Omaha "Crickets." Mr. Burch and the management of the local entry in the Western derby has decided to invite every amateur in Omaha to attend the opening game next Thursday afternoon, free of charge, if they will come to the park in the uniform of the ball club on which they play. Mr. Burch has asked us to especially invite all players to accept his invitation. Indications show that Omaha has a real ball team this year. They are consistently winning their exhibition games and are playing real, honest-to-goodness baseball under the management of Fred Luderus, the veteran pilot. Mr. Burch says that he has expended $50,000 in assembling his team of "Crickets" this year and is confident the team will finish one-two. The old stereotyped form of opening day ceremonies have been done away with this year, with an entirely new plan of entertainment before the game between Omaha and the Denver Bears. A nationally known troupe of comedians and a clown band will make the moments before "play ball" is called, pass merrily. "Johnny" Evers, the veteran Chicago ball player of the famous "Evers to Tinker to Chance" combination, will attend the game and will have a part in the opening ceremony. Tom Mix and Tony will be there, as will President Dale Gear of the Western league. In all, it will be a great day and you should make your seat reservations now, for a large crowd is anticipated. Colored people of Omaha will support a really good ball team, and let's all turn out and show our appreciation of the team Mr. Burch promises and also our appreciation of this kind invitation to all amateur ball players. The gong sounds at 2:30. Be there and chirp with the "Crickets." PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. F. S. Goodlett, Acting Pastor. We extend a most cordial welcome to the public.

WILLIAMS SUBSCRIPTION RATES, $2.00 PER YEAR Advertising Rates Furnished Address, The Monitor, Poston Telephone W SOME OF THE CANDIDATES WHOM THE MONITOR FAVORS In every campaign hundreds of our voters look to The Monitor for guidance as to how they shall vote. And while we lay no claim to omniscience or infallibility and cannot give an exhaustive list or extended reasons for our preferences, we are always glad to frankly state our choice. Here then, are some suggestions. We give no complete slate but only a few names. First and foremost, stand by and unitedly support your own race candidates. This is fundamental and vital, for only by so doing can we have any hope of gaining political recognition and prestige. For preference for president, write in the blank space under the heading "Presidential Ticket' the name of Walter W. Head, Republican, and put a cross before it. Our own choice for United States senator is R. B. Howell, because, personally, we believe he has been a conscientious public servant and we have as yet seen no valid reason advanced against his renomination. As attorney general his opponent, O. S. Spillman, has a good record, but we see no good reason why a change of senators is needed at this time. For governor, A. J. Weaver has most to commend him. A definite progressive program for his state will be his aim. W. M. Stebbins as state treasurer has made an excellent record in the economical administration of state funds and merits re-election. Donald B. MacFarland is our choice for state senator in the Fourth district. The man for supreme justice is Francis S. Howell. His qualifications for the office to which he was appointed by Governor McMullen to succeed the late Judge George Day, and to which he is now seeking to be elected cannot be questioned. His legal ability and training and his wide experience make him the man for the place. Personally, we have known him for many years and he has always rung true on the question of human rights and he can be counted upon to interpret the law in justice to all, irrespective of race, creed or color. He will be found a just jurist not an opportunist. Vote for Frank Howell for chief justice. We hope to see nominated for the district bench the following persons: William A. Redick, A. C. Troup, Charles Leslie, W. G. Hastings, James M. Fitzgerald, Arthur G. Thomsen, E. C. Page, William J. Ballard, John W. Yeager and Frank M. Dineen. Bryce Crawford has made an excellent record as county judge and we are unanimously for him. We would like to see Robert W. Patrick and George Holmes renominated for the municipal bench. There are several good candidates offering themselves for the several offices who no doubt will strive to do their duty if nominated and elected. THE SYNTHESIS OF IT Editor of The Monitor: Permit me to register my unqualified challenge to the political philosophy of the Rev. John Adams as displayed in the Omaha Guide, March 23, captioned "Analysis of the Political Situation." In my challenge, I shall present the synthesis of it. My sense of civic pride and decency compels me to take issue with this politico-barrister-divine on the grounds that his kind of philosophy is not only obnoxious but subversive to the principles of all democratic hopes. It is a log thrown consciously across the road to free thought and conduct. In his recapitulation, referring to the situation in the Ninth district, this politico-barrister-divine tells us --- Vote for Gould Dietz for DELEGATE to the National Republican Convention HAYDEN'S When You Pay Cash—Pay a Cash Price Boys’ Long Pants Wool Suits $1045 The best values that your money can buy.

That "whenever an individual offends the machine it is a waste of ballots to undertake to re-elect such an offender over party opposition." Brazen statements these! Aside from the fact that this is not true, it is an attempt to thrust down the throats of liberty loving people a very horrible dose of professional ward politics upon which their stomachs have been already too long fed. This gentleman misunderstands his audience. If what he tells us were true, or even thought to be true by any number of our people, we would be in a sad way in this community. Mr. Adams urges upon us absolute submission to the machine, whatever it wills or wishes. He makes bold to tell us that McMillan was placed in the field by the machine and it commands that we either elect him or we shall have nobody else. We are told it will be a waste of ballots if we should vote for anybody else. May I ask, why should we bother about voting at all if our choice is always made and delivered to us by the machinery of a political organization? If what Mr. Adams says be true, why would Howell and Norris bother about coming before the people for election? Surely Adams could by no stretch of imagination call these men "machine men." Here in Omaha, the local or city machine, which is the most powerful in the state, is known better by its familiar cognomen—'the gang." It is the "gang", therefore, with all its trimmings, that this clergyman is striving to push down our throats whether we like it or not. It is the "gang" that he urges upon us to accept as our only political hope. see that if strength, you not have the choice for a it or not, as It is certainly a hard jolt to our sense of honor to see an intelligent minister, whose business it is to strive to lift up the less fortunate from the scurf and scum of mere political expediency upon a high level of principle and honor, striving instead to perpetuate gang rule and gang authority over a family-loving, liberty loving, to say nothing about taxpaying people with its inevitable sequence, civic, social and economic bondage. Should not this be sufficient warranty for us to turn on our heels and go in the opposite direction? I am sure this gentleman does not presume at this late date, that his audience does not know what gang politics is in any community? Let those of us whose subsistence depends on this kind of thing, do it, but let no man attempt to cram it down the throats of those of us who are striving to raise our children in a clean and more enlightened citizenship. The whole trouble with the "analysis" of Mr. Adams is that it is political language prepared only for political consumption. He seems to think the only road to political success is to surrender self-reliance and follow the machine. He seems to forget that it is only when a people prove to be bent on thinking and acting for themselves, provided sufficient of them do so together, that any machine reckons with them. That they are recognized and respected by that machine. So long as a machine knows that any people in any community will eat the "boloney" it hands out and be satisfied, just so long will people be impotent in the shaping of the affairs by which they exist and will receive in the way of emoluments just such as we have received here for many years. The same special, but insincere and superficial interest will be shown us around every election time and straightway forgotten a few days afterwards. The mechanism of the machine are the people, who must vote to sustain its plans. Without this mechanism any machine is powerless. Thus you see that if you awake to your own strength, you will find that you do not have to accept the machine's choice for anybody whether you like it or not, as Adams reasons. We are that power ourselves, and there is no better time than this to use it where there is a real test in the Ninth district, where the gang, by the frank admission of its advocates and supporters, has set out to administer punishment to Singleton, who is the logical candidate for the people, simply because he dared use his own judgment. The machine seeks to accomplish this by using us—its "mechanism." Adams advises this "mechanism" to do as the machine says or incur its wrath. Let me say here that I am not fighting the machine as such, and hope what I have said will not be interpreted in that light. On the contrary, I firmly believe in party organization as the best means of insuring party success and party coherence. But I believe the machine should serve the people and not the people the machine. I am for absolute independence of judgment in public office, based of course, upon due preparation and experience. The very primary system was brought about so the people, and not a mere group of political experts, might choose their own candidates. Shall we throw away the spirit of that law in this case? "Take it from me," Mr. Adams, that our people are awake and aroused to their sense of obligation and responsibility here as never before. They will swallow no more of this kind of medicine you are prescribing for them. They are very sick already from its evil effects. They have learned the lesson that formidable opposition is the most effective weapon we can wield to liberate ourselves from the servitude of machine politics. And "take it from me" they will wield this weapon right and left on next Tuesday in their effort to nominate J. A. Singleton and F. L. Barnett for state representatives, and Amos P. Scruggs for public defender. RE-ELECT SINGLETON TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE.—Adv. VOTE FOR F. L. BARNETT FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE.—Adv. Get ready for Negro Trade Week.

Scruggs for the office of public defender. During the primary of August 10, 1926, the total vote cast in Douglas county was 26,468. The total Negro registered vote at this time was 3,731.

Our people are going through a very crucial period, and if we are to give hope and encouragement to our boys and girls, we should not permit this golden opportunity to slip by.

AN OPEN LETTER TO COLOREE CITIZENS, MEN AND WOMEN Dear Friends: Fourteen years I have struggled with you to help to better your conditions. I have never shirked, I have never retreated in fighting your battles. Where there was misery and suffering, where there was tyranny and opression you could always see Isaac Konecky in the front ranks doing his best in your behalf. I come to you asking you to support my friend Walter L. Cropper for municipal judge.
