A Candidate for the Board of Education (POLITICAL ADV.) IDENTITY OF “MEANEST MAN” DISCLOSED IN D. C. COURT Washington— (CNS)—The identity -of the “forgotten man” has not as yet been revealed but the identity of the “meanest man in the world” was dis closed here last week when a blind wo. man testified that William Robinson, half-choked her, bound her head tight ly in a blanket and took $7 in bills. Robinson when into court was iden tified by the blind woman, Emily Boembrey, 71 years, who told the court that she was positive of her identification because she remember ed the feel of the man’s fingers about her throat and the sound of his voice. The court accepted the evidence and the man was found guilty by the jury. Federal Home Loan Bill V FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS (Continued fro mLast Week) Sec. 14.

(1) When some members of the Republican party launched a campaign of SEGREGATION against the Colored People of this State, first, by decreeing that no Negro should be permitted to engage in the manly art of self defense (Boxing) with members of other groups, two committees, composed of prominent Colored Men armed with letters signed b ymany prominent White Men (Mr. Baldrige refusing) made two trips to Lincoln protesting to two different Republican Governors the unfairness of this ruling, these two Republican Governors refused point blank to abolish this dastardly ruling of their boxing com missioner. , Not so with our Democratic Governor, Governor Bryan. When a committee composed of some of the same Gentlemen that had waited on the two former Republican Governors, again gave their valuable time in the interest of their People, waited on Governor Bryan, using the same argument put forward to those former Republicans. On completion of their argument, Governor Bryan had his secretary bring the book (in which this ruling was written) to him, the Governor had the Secretary read it to him, he then requested the secretary to place the book be fore him. The Governor unhesitatingly took his pen and crossed out the article, turning to his secretary he in structed him to notify the then boxing commissioner that there was no longer such a ruling on the books as it was unconstitutional. Friends, if for no other reason than this square deal we should on Nov. 8th go to the polls and give this great man a big vote of thanks. I here are many other reasons why, not only the Colored people but all the people of Nebraska, should do this, one outstanding reason, is, his masterly handling of the drought problem, despite the clamoring of many Republican members of the Legislature and Senate, he refused to call a special session of the Legislature, (which according to the present laws of Nebraska) could have only appropriated on this occasion, $100,000, the expense of the extra session would have been about $15,000 out of this amount, it would have been from two to three weeks before this amount would have become available, during this interim the free contributions would have stopped and many hundred of horses and cattle would have star\ ed to d^ath, men, women and innocent children would have suffered, and the cost of the extra session would have been saddled onto the already overburdened TAX PAYERS Instead of being stampeded by these calamity howlers, Governor Bryan went ahead in his masterly way and secured for those strickened people over Three* Hun dred thousand dollars worth of food stuff and feed, for both man and beast, also raising money enough to’buy seed for these same people, and accomplished this with out one penny of expense of cost to the already overbur dened TAX PAYERS of this fair commonwealth. For! your information, these taxes would have been charged back to the property owners, a burden we could ill afford to carry, for God knows we are already over burdened with TAXES. Governor Bryan, instead of increasing our TAXES has reduced them, and this in the face of the fact that he SAM KLAVER A Candidate for the Board of Education. Sam will represent us on the School Board when elected. $313,500 belongs to you annually. Vote for Sam Klaver and get it. had a Republican Legislature fighting him. Friends, if you would have your TAXES further reduced, it is up to you to send to LINCOLN A DEMO CRATIC Legislature and Senate to help the Governor carry out his TAX reducing program. My Colored friends, you cannot afford to vote for this man Griswold who in 1925 introduced into the Legis lature a bill which if passed would have DISFRAN CHISED every foreigner and Negro in Nebraska (see Senate File 211). Now stop and think, Work and vote for the re-election of Governor Bryan. Harry Leland. FISK UNIVERSITY FOE AT GALA LINCOLN UNIVERSITY (MO.)

THE BAR MAKES A CHOICE Convinced that voters are entitled to know which candidates for District judgeships are best qualified by abil ity and experience for this office, law yers of the Fourth judicial district, comprising Douglas, Washington and Burt counties, have joined together under the Lawyers’ Recommendation Committee to secure the election of nine district judge candidate approved by majority vote of lawyers of this district several months ago following the spring primary. Louis J. TePoel has been named active manager of the Recommenda tion Campaign Committee, which en dorses seven of the present judges, William A. Redick, William G. Hast ings, Charles Leslie, Herbert Rhoades, Arthur C. Thamsen, James M. Fitz gerald, and Frank Dineen, and two other candidates, Chief Deputy Coun ty Attorney John W. Yeager and John T, Dysart, who has previously held offices of county judge and county attorney. "A group of the most prominent and esteemed lawyers of Douglas, Wash ington and Burt counties are serving voluntarily on the Recommendation campaign committee in an effort to remove the judiciary from politics and place it on the high non-partisan bas is, where it rightly belongs according to the laws of Nebraska,” said Ray mond G. Young, general chairman of the Recommendation campaign com mittee. “We believe that in making known the facts brought out by our referen dum ballot, which was sent to every lawyer in this district, the lawyers will be rendering a distinct public ser vice to the voters of this district. “The Referendum was taken with the thought that lawyers, having a more intimate knowledge and being more familiar with the qualifications of their brother members of the Bar, who seek a position on the Bench as judges, than are the voters generally, should make this knowledge of and familiarity with the candidates avail able to the voters,” Young said. The committee chosen by the law yers to direct the work of bringing these facts before the public is not or ganized and prepared to enter upon an active, vigorous campaign so that the public generally may be advised of the recommendation of those who know the candidates best,” said A. G. Ellick, Chairman' of the Lawyers’ Recommendation executive committee. “There was no prejudice or favor shown in selecting the nine candidates who were chosen in the Judicial Refer endum. They are there because the vast majority of lawyers of the Fourth district felt that they deserved this recognition on the basis of their reCOrds.” -- Re-elect Lester palmer #unicipal judge HdfMkt—Fair—Cap* ((Political Adv) THOMAS O’CONNOR I wish to highly recommend Thomas J.

Mann) Falling For Flattary A woman smiles her thanks when she is told “You are the most attract ive woman in the community,” though her mirror has told her that she is homely. Another one smiles her sat isfaction when told “Yours is the best cooking I have ever eaten” when she knows her biscuits are soggy. Per haps no other compliment is ever so well received nor more foolihly be lieved than the false declaration, “You don’t look a day older than you did twenty-five years ago.” In such a case the woman may be “fat and forty” or the man lean and haggard, but the false compliment is received and gratefully acknowledged. Better take such compliments with plenty of salt. It would not be dis courteous to say “Nice you think so, but I happen to know better.” John Adams, Attorney, Notice by Publication for Settlement of Final Administration Account. | In the County Court of Douglas County, Nebraska.
