Our Choice for President in 1928 is WALTER W. HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear headed Business Man COMMENDING WALSH The Monitor takes pleasure in calling our readers’ attention to the candidacy of Mr. C. E. Walsh for Municipal Judge. Mr. Walsh has been an active member of the Omaha Branch of the Na tional Association for the Ad-! vancement of Colored People and as a member of the legal com- j mittee has never hesitated to j give his services freely and cheerfully whenever called upon to act. He has rendered, mod estly and unassumingly, excel lent service. Mr. Walsh is a Christian gentleman who, in the event of his election, will be a credit to the bench.

Candidates, stout, lean and hearty, representing every party, with ample wind and fleety pace, have entered grimly in the race. First, there are republi cans, some of whom are “also rans", j and others who will be dismounted,, when the primary votes are counted. For it is plain, as you’ll agree, that all cannot be winners. There’s Kout sky, whom his friends decree, must by all odds, the winner be; for, say they, Joe’s never lost yet; so we’re { backing him strong you can bet.’’ j "McDonald!” shouts another crowd, with voices confident and loud; j “Charley B. is our long shot, watch him win in an easy trot.” For he comes from a well-groomed stable of political runners swift and able.” “Ross McGowan, swift and fleet, will be winner of the heat,” loudly yell his heavy backers, ex-service men, who were not slackers. "Ross who does not easily tire, will run first under the wire.” And then there are the men and women who are bravely backing Brennan. Mac of Donald, Mac of Gowan, each upon the other frown ! 1 | Mile. | | M. H. Demby | J- of Boston jj ^ Prima-bonna, Mezzo Soprano £ I Grove M.-E.
