Radio Address
(By D. E O’Brien)
Friday Oct. 14
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Thu is not a mere speech that I
am about to deliver. It is a serious
message couched in homely terms ad
dressed to my clients, my friends and
ai<|La.ntances and to all others who
believe in good government, earnestly
requesting the voter in Burt, Wash
ington and Douglas Counties to sup
port W. R. Patrick for Judge of the
District Court.
I am glad to have the opportunity
to speak in behalf of W. R. Patrick
for this office. No inducement of any
kind could persuade me to do this if
I did not honestly believe that, if
elected, he would make one of the
most courageous and able judges who
has ever sat on our District Bench.
I have lived in this community over
25 years. I am raising and educating
my children here, and expect to re
main in Omaha the rest of my life.
I want to help in maintaining law
and order in this community. I want
to do my part, as a citizen, in seeing
men of character and ability elected to
public office. That is why I am sup
porting W R. Patrick for District
Judge I know he has the courage to
oppose gangs and cliques who seek to
influence public officials for their own
selfish interests.
In speaking of the gang. I would
like to tell some of you. who may not
know just what a gang really is and
the effect it has upon a community.
A gang is a cancer upon the body of
politics. It is a group of individual
parasites associated together for the
purpose of extracting money illegally
and wrongfully from bootleggers,
gamblers and even from the unfortu
nate women of the street. Under the
claim that they can furnish protection,
a levy is assessed upon many groups
and individuals. Those who oppose
them are subjected to unbelieveable

methods, even to the extent of threat- I
ening their customers, clients or as
sociates. The gang with their ill-got
ten money then engage in political
campaigns for the purpose of electing
men whom they can control.
I have the unmost faith in the vot
ers generally to select the proper of
ficials, if given the plain, definite facts
about candidates. I am glad to give
such facts about W. R. Patrick. If I
did not know, beyond any doubt, that
what I say about him is true, I would
certainly hesitate to make this public
address, and voluntarily put myself in
a position where my clients, friends
and acquaintances could constantly
remind me, after his election, that I
misled them.
During the 25 years I have known
Mr. Patrick, I have watched very
closely his career as a citizen, as a
lawyer, and as a public official. His
record as County Attorney of Sarpy
County was most enviable and his
prosecution of many cases was able
and vigorous. Later, as a special
prosecutor, he sent to the penitentiary
a member of a gang who attempted
to bribe his successor, and success
fully prosecuted and ousted from office
a Sheriff, who was a neighbor and ac
quaintance, and had hundreds of sup
porters in that community. He pros
ecuted cases against many large in
terests when public sentiment was
such that it was not the popular thing
to do.
Things that others said of him dur
ing the time that he served as State
Senator are interesting. A colleague,
Senator George W. Wiltse of Ran
dolph, Nebraska, in a letter addressed
i to the Papillion Times, wrote: “I no
tiee that Senator Patrick has been
! writing some reminiscenses of the 30th
legislature, and with becoming mod
jesty he has refrained from mention
ing to any extent, the part he took
in the proceedings of that body. Per
mit md to say for him that he was
one of the leaders of the* Senate. To
his everlasting credit he was never
partisan. Right was right to him, no
matter what brand it bore. We al
ways counted on him and were never
disappointed. He was a tireless work
er. always at roll call, never shirking
Committee meetings and ever willing
to perform any duty that was imposed
upon him. In debate he was always
courteous and gentlemanly, using
choice language replete with argu
ment that carried conviction, and nev
er losing his temper. Senator Pat
rick was always progressive. Old
time precedents had no weight with
him unless they possessed merit. If
he saw a shorter and better way of
accomplishing some end than had
heretofore been pursued, he was im
mediately in favor of adopting the
better method. In short, my years of
acquaintance with Senator Patrick
have taught me that he is a conscien.
ious, able and well-balanced man and
just the kind of a man we need in
Nebraska politics, and I shall be more
than pleased to see him progress
farther.”
113 in mentation came unsolicit
ed from a Senator, who was not oi
Senator Patrick’s party affiliation,
and the Tekamah Herald also had this
to say of Mr. Patrick’s service in the
Nebraska Senate.
“Senator Patrick was one of the
brightest members of the last
senate and was one of the active fac
tors in the passage of reform legis
lation. Senator Patrick is a Demo,
crat in politics, but as a member oi
the Senate he knew no party but made
a good fight for the best interests oi
the common people.”
Mr. F. C. Edgerton of the Fremoni
Herald said: “In the Senate, Patrick
the Democratic Senator, from Sarpy
and Saunders counties, exerted the
greatest influence of any other one
man. He was regarded as one of the
brightest lawyers of the Senate, and
he was its strongest fighter.”
The Papillion Republican paid him
the following compliment: “Senatoi

SECRETARY OF TREASURY
SEEKS TO CURB DISCRIMIN.
ATION ON FEDERAL CON
STRUCTION JOBS
Washington, (CNS) Secretary of
Treasury Ogden I. Mills in a letter
to T. Arnold Hill of the National Ur
ban League denied knowledge of any
instances of discrimination because of
color by contractors, erecting Govern
ment buldings. The letter was in
answer to Mr. Hill’s letter dated Sep
tember 29, 1932 in which he said that
• number of instances of discrimin
ation on the part of contractors en
gaged in the construction of Govern
i ment buildings had been brought to
his attention as director of the
League’s department of industrial re
lations.
In his answer Secretary Mills in
cluded a letter that he had caused to
be sent to all engineers in charge of
Federal construction in which he said
“The Department has from time to
time anounced its policy in the con
struction of public buildings and pub
lic works under its control that in the
employment of its mechanics and la
bor preference to be given to local la
bor to such extent as it is available
and competent, and that there be no
discrimination exercised against any
person because of color or religious
affiliation.” The Secretary directed
that the above stated policy be
brought to the attention of all con
tractors and sub-contractors and that
any departure from it be brought to
the attention of the Department.

JUDGE FOSTER AIDS CRIPPLED KIDDIES

Here are four of the many Nebraska crippled children who have
received treatment at the Shriners hospital for Crippled Children in
Minneapolis, Minn. They are shown with District Judge Charles E.
Foster. Seated on the judge’s knees are, left to right, Betty Rosmajzl
and Mary Rose Galda. Standing left to right are Jack Mynett and
Leonard Edmundson.
School days are the happiest in
any child’s life, especially if his
health is such whereby he can en
joy all that transpires in the every
day classroom.
But, unfortunately all children
are not on an even basis. ' Some
are crippled and in poor health.
At the Shriners Hospital for
Crippled Children in Minneapolis,
Minn., hundreds of crippled chil
dren are given the necesary medi
cal treatment to cure them.
In this community more than 75
children of all nationalities and
creeds have had treatment at the
Shriners hospital. They were all
recommended to the institution by
District Judge Charles E. Foster,
chairman of the hospital com
mittee.
The above picture plainly shows
the results physicians obtain at the
Shrine institution. In the picture
are four happy youngsters, who a
few days ago started school once
more, this time with their health
much improved.
Judge Foster has given much of
his time, while r.ot serving as a
jurist in court, to aid poor and
needy children who are in dire
need of medical treatment. He
has made several personal visits to
homes, where neither father and
mother have had work for months,
but always he succeeded in send
ing the child in need of medical
treatment to the Shrine hospital.
“I’m more than glad to do all I
can for crippled children,” said
Judge Foster. “It matters not to
me where the child comes from, or
how he is reared. If he or she
needs treatment I’ll do more than
I can to have them admitted to the
hospital.
Judge Foster has long presided
on various court benches and is
held in high esteem by the law pro
fession of this community..

this campaign which has come forth
in its platform with the demand of
political, economic, and social equality
for the Negro, and self-determinaton
for the Black Belt. The Communist
Party is carrying on a daily struggle
in every section of the country as
well as in the south, a militant cam

and fights every form of discrimin
