Supreme Court Postpones Scottsboro Decision Until After Election Read What Others Say |! FACTS ABOl'T JOHNNY OWEN OIK NEXT STATE REPRESENT ATIVE (9th dist.) (by J. Johnson) Johnny Owen was our outstanding athlete while attending our Omaha Schools. He is the only Negro ath lete in the State to win 4 major let ters; in fact he is our only race 4 tetter man. He won 11 major sports letters during his High school days. A record for any athlete to look up to. A record that will perhaps stand for sometime in Omaha. Owen was the leading pitcher of the city during his school days here. He pitched his team to a championship, acsinst such men as Mel Harder (who is now with the Cleveland Indians) and Hal Mc Kaine, (who is now with Chicago White Sox! He played quarter back on the football team and was the out standing star each game. He was the fastest dash man on the track team and a clean cut basketabll star. Owen’s qualities of leadership were eminent, and he being the only Negro on the teams, he was elected captain of some team, in each school which he attended. (Leadership must be recognized). One of the coaches re marked: That Johnny Owen was one of the most courageous athletes he J had ever tutored, a brilliant scholar and a gentleman. Through his ath letic contact Johnny developed a fine personality, a good sense of honesty, clean sportsmanship and fair play. A clean winner and a good loser. Owen was not only an athlete but a .fine student and more yet, a scholar. He was on the highest honor roll each year, and was exempted from taking examinations every year, (ex cepl the year he suffered a broken leg in football and was absent most of the term.) Johnny Owen won the scholarship and deserved it, but Johnny Goodman, who is a fine golf er, was also in his class and who is an orphan boy, needed the award most, and it was therefore granted jn his bhealf. With such an out standing record, one would naturally get the “big head" or egotistic, but not so with Owen, he has remained the same levelled headed, cool, clean ret* ever smiling Johnny Owen, and we know if we elect him as the Rep resentative from this district, he can Poultry & Eggs Fancy Milk Fed Poultry, live or dressed to your order.

Johnson. — TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Oct. 26, 1932—To whom it may con cern,—Charles G. Thomas wishes to make a reply in regards to his case with the World Insurance Co. After havintr been treated by several Doc tors and Surgeons from the Nebraska University Hospital, and two local physicians, the World Insurance Com pany sent their Company doctor to call on Mr. Thomas, and when he had examined him, and reported the con dition to the Insurance Company, they refused to accept his and other doctors’ statements as true. Why then, does the World Insurance Co., require their policy holders to secure the services of physicians in order to collect their disability claims and have they any other means of determining the actual condition of their insured? If they have, I’d like to know it. I still feel the Company is unfair. signed, Charles G. Thomas.

If elected to the legislature, I will support any sound and logical legislation for the betterment of my district, city, county and state. I feel that the tax burden of the citizen of Nebraska should be made lighter by the adopt ion of a program of economy in state government. I will support any sound and logical legislation that might be proposed at the next legis lation to aid the ex-service-men who were sacrificed upon the fields of France by a democratic president. I will support any sound and logical legislation proposed, to adopt in the state of Nebraska the “Old Age Pen sion Law” as used In many states of the Union which if adopted would do away with the poor farms, decrease the expense of the state in taking care of the Old, and which will enable our aged to spend the last days of their life in their own home instead of being herded together on county farms and in poor houses. I will sup port the legislation which I have rea son to believe will be introduced at this legislation to repeal the State statute providing for deficiency judgements in foreclosure actions on real estate. This will be a benefit to the people of this community and state who are forced to allow their property to go into foreclosure be W Mil *4. ... j. oft* .S^r IBIllififfll NEBRASKA'S DISGRACE! 4 Swat Crime In Nebraska VOTE FOR HIGHWAY PATROL SILL Will Save Money For Taxpayers The state now has three law enforcement agencies as follows: 1. The state sheriff’s office for which here is appropriated every two years $75,000. 2. The state fire marshal s of fice for which there is appropri ated $80,000. S. A bureau in the department of public works for the enforce men of motor vehicle laws for which there is appropriated $50,000 These appropriations total $20o. 000 and the people do not now get that much in protection. Under the present plan the three depart ments mentioned have separate offices, separate sets of clerical help separate sets of state auto mobiles and separate heads. It is obvious that consolidation would mean a saving for the tax payers. Those who state that the propos ed bill will increase taxes are either unfamiliar with the terms of the bill or are deliberately spreading a falsehood for politic al reasons. The proposed bill will not only lower the cost of law enforce ment by the state, but will save money for the people in many other ways: 1. By bringing about a decrease in automobile deaths and injur ies the dates for automobile lia bility insurance and accident in surance will be cut from 10 to 25 per cent. 2. By stopping the bootlegging of gasoline in Nebraska the state will secure every two years from $600,000 to $800,000 additional revenue from gasoline taxes. 3. The saving to farmers, wage earners and business men from prevented robberies will run into many hundreds of thousands of dollars. The saving in hospital, doctor and funeral bills from the de crease in deaths andsinjuries on the highway will amount to at least $1,000,000 a year ^iive^T^sn^U^hanc^r^bhow^VhaM^Uai^lo^j SUPREME COURT POSTPONES SCOTTSBORO DECISION OVER ELECTION Steps Taken To Release Wright And Williams. New York—The United States Su preme Court last week adjourned un til November 7, without handing down a decision on the Scottsboro Lynch verdicts, arguments on which was made before it on October 10 by International Labor Defense Attor neys. This proceeding, it was pointed out, is so unusual as to be almost un precedented in Supreme Court pro cedure * cause of their inability to pay the mortgage. It is my ambition to be of service to the laboring: man, to the common mass of people and especially to un fortunate humanity. I believe that the only way prosperity and happi ness can be promoted in our com munity and state is for every citiz en to respect the rights and privileges of every other citizen, for every citiz en to co-operate in government and to obey its laws, and for every citiz en to do unto others as he would have others do unto him. Prosperity and happiness will come when dictation ceases in our government. —JOHN ADAMS, JR.
