LETTERS FROM OUR READERS ENDORSES DUNN Editor Monitor: I have lived in Omaha for the past forty-one years and T have knowr Heniy W. Dunn during ail that time and of him I must say that there wa. never a man in public office durinj ail of that time that was, and i ; frem from race or religious prejudice th:n Henry W. Dunn. I think I can truth fully say that I have been the best friend that the colored people havt had during that period of time. Ir this connection, 1 will say to the Col , ored people of Omaha if Henry W Dunn is elected commissioner, the Ki Klux Klan will have no special frienc in him. ED. MORE ARTY, Attorney, 700 Bee Building. PLAYING POLITICS To The Editor of the Monitor: Please find space in your paper for a few words to the colored voters of Douglas county. At this late date. Mr. J W. Towl comes out with a state ment giving the cause of the lynching of William Brown on September 28, 1919. I say it was up to Mr. Towl as foieman of the Grand Jury. At th** investigation, Mr. Towl said the police were not organized. Now, he comes out and praises the police force. What has caused his change? Is he now on the police side? If Mr. Towl knows the cause of the riot and has the information at hand he shoul I be made to tell what he knows. If Mr. Towl has the City' and the people at heart and is sincere in this matter wh> has he kept this a secret all these months? It is needless to say. he is plaving politics. SERGT. BAILEY.

He lias certainly tried to give us a SQUARE DEAL,. Therefore The Monitor is for J. Dean Ringer and we telieve we have given good reasons why every colored voter should be tor him. W. G. lire has been in public life in Omaha for twenty years in various positions of trust and honor and in every one he has made good. While County Treasurer he had in his employ as | clerk, Rufus Long. And in his present position, the position ol In J. pector of Weights and Measures, is under him. This is filled ac ,APc>ptably by John W. Long. lTre is entitled to our support both on grounds of being an honest, capable and efficient public official and also as having given us a square deal. That’s why he is on The Monitor’s slate. Harry B. Zimman has been in public life in Omaha for more than twenty years as councilman, acting mayor and commissioner and has rendered splendid service. He is one of the best informer, men on municipal affairs, in the country. Were it not for the han dicap of prejudice he would have been mayor of Omaha years ago, and The Monitor believes he will yet be. In his present position he has brought the fire department to a high degree of efficiency. He has always been fair with our people. He promised to restore| Colored officers to Hose Company No. 11 and he kept his word. The Monitor supports him on the ground of efficiency and the SQUARE DEAL to our people. He deserves our united vote. Roy N. Towl is a splendid gentlemen, whom we personally | like. He is a civil engineer of ability. He has used his technical j skill to good advantage for the city, although he. too, has been ; seriously handicaped in carrying out his plans. He has plans forj the development of Omaha which he should be permitted to carry j out. We are suporting Mr. Towl because we believe the city needs j his technical skill. Unfortunately, as yet, he has given us no repre sentation in his force of employees, which, however, we hope and ! beliefe that he will correct. We urge our people to vote for Mr. Towl because of bis efficiency and ability and because he is ■ the j only candidate who is fully qualified for the position which he now j ■ holds. We are interested in a larger and better city and in that; I enlargement and betterment the technical skill of Roy N. Towl is j ■ needed. Thomas B. Falconer as park commissioner, has given good ' service. He gave employment to a few of our people, as laborrs. j Dan B. Butler has served the city for several pears in various! capacities and has given honest, faithful and efficient service. In his present position he has not disciiminated in giving employment to our people. He has given us a Square Deal, and because of these j reasons the Monitor is for him. James C. Dahlman was mayor of Omaha for twelve years and was absolutely fair and square in his dealings with all classes ol , people. He gave our people in common with others a square deal. When John Grant Pegg, who had served under him for more than two terms as Inspector of Weights and Measures died, strong pressure was brought to liear upon Mayor Dahlman to have him give that position, the only one of note in the city government held by bur race, to a white man. Mayor Dahlman stood pat for the appointment of a colored man, and Amos P. Scruggs was appoint ed and served until Mayor Dahlman’s retirement. We recall only I I one instance during Mayor Dahlman’s twelve years in office, in j ! which he failed us and we frankly told him so at that time and That was in failing to prevent the appearance of “The Birth of the (Nation.” We can recall nothing else during his three terms in • which he failed to give our people a square deal. And this is why The Monitor is for James C. Dahlman. This, then, is The Monitor’s slate, which we have selected for ourselves on what we consider good and reasonable grounds. We believe that in the main it will be acceptable to those who rely up on our knowledge of men and affairs to help guide them in theii decision. We have been asked for information conceining «nine other candidates. We give it griefly: Joseph B. Hummed, republican, was park commissioner dur ing the Dahlman administration and is really the man who gave the city its playgrounds and other recreational facilities. He em ployed Desdune’s Band for band conceits and had in his employ ment as playground supervisors, Mrs. Grace M. Hutten and Mrs. | Bessie M. Wise. It is upon his past record of efficiency and the Square Deal that The Monitor Supports him. Charles A. Grimmel, republican, is a business man of high .character. We do not know what his attitude is towards our peo ple, but believe he would absolutely be fair. He is a thorough gentleman. John Hopkins is a young man and is representative of the soldier vote. Those who know him speak highly of him. Judge Abraham.L. Sutton was on the district bench for sev eral years. He was fair in his decisions. He is a republican. John F. Murphy is a democrat, but an excellent, kindly gen tleman. Miss Minnie Givens served under him as stenographer in the Quartemiaster’s Department, and speaks of him in the highest terms and he of her. Henry Dunn, was on the police force for many years, serving as chief just before his retirement. He is a republican and popu lar. Joseph Koutsky is a business man of South Omaha. He is a republican. i" PATRONIZE THE STATE FURNITURE Cl ] j uth st. Corner dodge st. * Dou*ia* 1317 1 I Phonograph* J and Record* I --—ii [ magic HAIR ‘GROWER j • AND STRAIGHTENING OIL __» !
