Thom as E. Dewey stands on the ques tion of color? There is a marvel ous story about his work through out the state of New York. Under his administration more laws have been enacted for the advancement and protection of colored citizens than any other State in the Union. Laws covering employment, in dustry, housing, insurance and discrimination are accepted as patterns for effective equality, even for the Federal Government. In New York more opportunities have been opened up and the dignity of colored Americans has been raised to a higher level than in other parts of the United States. By his own political integrity, and by the strength of his own convic tion and by reason of his per sonal power and influence in the New York legislature,* civil rights and civil liberties have been made realities.

IDEAL Srocery and Market Let* of Parking 27Uk and F Stmts Dewey’s administration, there is a vital and enforceable “Fair Em ployment Law,” which makes it a crime to discriminate against an applicant for employment because, of color or religion. In Massachu setts and New Jersey similar laws have been fashioned and inspired as a result of Dewey’s decree. Other laws have been passed un der Governor Dewey’s administra tion providing for equality and recognition with public utility companies. A far-reaching and important piece of legislation has been passed to prevent insurance companies from charging colored people higher rates than whites. Schools and colleges in New York are prevented from denying admission to applicants because of race, color or religion. Governor Dewey was successful in engineer ing the passage of this bill and stated, “It is a step by New York State to reduce obnoxious and un democratic barriers based on re ligious and accident of birth.” There are thirty-one colored citi zens employed by the State of New York at salaries ranging be yond five thousand dollars a year, and hundreds of other citizens with responsible positions under the state, thus enabling colored Americans to live and maintain GELMOUR-DANIELSON DRUG CO. • Prescription Druggists 142 So. 13th St., Lincoln, Nebr.
