PALMER SEEKING RE-ELECTION Judge Lester Palmer popular radio announcer and well known to radio iuns is again seeking re-election, Nov s. Judge Palmer has always shown a desire to be honest and fair in his judgement and has shown much con sideration to the colored people of Omaha. Mr. Palmer is conceded as high man in the coming election, Nov. 8, having run over 5,000 votes in the primaries AVill Vote For Son f Richard L. Metcalfe, mayor of Omaha and dyed-in-the-wool Demo crat, is going to vote for Theodore W. Metcalfe, his Republican son, for lieutenant-governor. “I am a better father than I am a Democrat,” said Mayor Metcalfe. “ * * * Each of us is doing his own thinking, and that is what counts Ted has always been a Republican, and I respect him for having the courage of his convictions.” “Even outside the family,” said Ted “I know of many Democratic votes I will receive. I probably have slept in more bath-tubs at Democratic conven tions during my early life than most of the candidates on the Democratic ticket. I count hundreds of Demo crats, out-state as well as in Omaha, 1 as my good friends.” Following is what the Washington Pathfinder recently said about the Metcalf es: “Why should not members of the same family differ in politics the same as other people do? It may well be a sign of intelligence and char acter when they do so differ in a friendly way. Political principles and issues should be a matter of judg ment, not of inheritance. Of course, it is perfectly all right and quite nat ural for a son to be influenced by his father, politically It is a subject in which half the people are always try ing to convert the other half to their views. But the less inherited politics and the more personal convictions along this line, the better it will be for our government and country.” • 11 ^ Contacting With Lennox July 29, 1932 Conservative Savings & Loan Asso. President » 1614 Harney, Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Sir: I am writing you in regards to the situation in the north end of Omaha among the Colored citizens; a large number of whom are your tenants; and some are buying property from you. I am quite sure you had not ob served the seriousness of the situa tion; and those who are depending up on this class of people, makes it very hard to keep all things adjusted pro. nerlv I I have been a customer of yours for the past 8 or 9 years, and I have tried to be very prompt in taking care of my accounts. I have spent a con siderable large sum with your com | pany carying tenants who have paid me well, or as they should each month when the rent comes due, and they have been doing this for 4 or 5 years. Perhaps you have not realized to what extent this unfortunate body of people have been. They are not re ceiving from the different concerns, the proper consideration that they should in proportion to the amount of money they spend. When one takes into consideration, corporations such as the Telephone Company, Nebraska Power, Metropol itan Utilities District, Paxton & Gal lagher, and other businesses that we patronize representing from 11,000 to 14,000 which is at least 5% of the city’s population; each concern makes our group the last to be hired and the first to be fired, and they stand at the bottom of the list when it comes to being given a fair consideration, re gardless of how they support a busi ness. They are human and act simi lar to any other body of people if ble, appreciative, trusty and fair and given a chance. They are dependa are anxious for an opportunity to make good. These businesses that they are helping to fortify, expect the same fee as regular from them, as they do 1 of others, but regardless of qualifica tions they give them the least, or no : consideration. I am sure this body of people have meant a great deal to i your Association. Many of them are anxious to save their homes, and will if given an opportunity. If work was plentiful, matters would be perhaps somewhat different; but wherever there is employment, after every other i r ■ --—-' nationality is served, this body of people is then given consideration, or that which is left; often they are not considered at all. I am sure you realize, the more in telligence one has, the better equipped he is to prepare himself for the neces saries of life; the more comfortable and inviting he can make his sur roundings to guard himself against diease, and the more desirous he can fit himself for the situation; re adless of nationality. If every man was given a fair chance, there would be no discrimina tion as to employment or business transactions; no confusions; or ill feelings, but every one made happy; not speaking from a social stand point of view, for that is not to be • 1 ■% tunaiucicu. I know that you have any number of houses in this community, and per haps you and several of those em ployed on your staff are members of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, or some other organization banded to gether for the betterment of the city. I was thinking if there is not some way that you can influence these dif ferent corporations to give this body of people a more fair consideration, in regards to the amount of money they spend with you and other different firms. This~ body of people would be happy to know you have given them consideration which is greatly needed, and perhaps will be a wonderful help to you in keping your books up to date, and helping any number of pro perty buyers to hold on. Many businesses have used this body of people as a means to an end. Any number of concerns have given them satisfaction to the exten that “they were going to do,” but this is often the end of such consideration, and no further action is takeri on same, and I am appealing to you, for a body of people who are not in a po sition to help themselves. If there is anything you can do to help bette? this situation, and help bring about a fairer consideration, it will be highly appreciated among this group of people. Thanking you for whatever consid eration you may give, I am Respectfully yours, Dr. G. B. Lennox August 3, 1932 Dr. G. B Lennox, 1602% North 24th Street, Omaha, Nebraska. My dear Doctor: I acknowledge receipt of yours of July 29th regarding situation in the North part of Omaha amongst the colored citizens. The fact that out of the very few properties which we own, only three very small ones are located in this territory, does not in the least lessen our interest in the problem which you present. We have a number of loans to different colored residents and have many of them with savings accounts on our books. It might be of interest to you to know that out of a total list of twen ty-eight employees on our pay roll, two of them are colored, drawing we believe very fair compensation—no reduction in wage having been put into effect by us in their cases. We have a high regard for the worth of the average colored citizen and assure you that we will do every thing which we reasonably can in helping the colored people collective ly or individually to meet the exigen cies which confront. We were pleased to receive your letter showing your interest and hope that you and others who are interested with you will have success in arousing general interest. Yours truly, The Conservative Savings & Loan Association Per E. A. Baird, President August 5, 1932 Conservative Savings & Loan Asso. President, 1614 Harney, Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Sir: In receipt of your letter dated August 3rd, I highly appreciate your consideration in regards to the situa tion amonj the Colored citizens. We appreciate very much the Col ored employees that you have. We had the information to that effect, but knowing conditions perhaps better than the average person, due to com ing in contact with so many, I thought of different firms and associations with whom they dealt; thinking per haps, in some way, if these same con cerns were informed, and something should come about, it would perhaps mean another opening for a few of this unfortunate group. There is no better and greater feel ing for one to have, than to know he has been dealt with fairly, squarely and considerately. Many homes have been lost, after one has often paid down to the minimum, a few would pay if they had the means; and will pay if given a fair chance and a rea sonable consideration. This will be appreciated by all. and I am sure each j back payment will be brought up to date. As a rule, an Association of this kind has to deal with all, prac tically |the same. I realize these times have struck the fortunate, as well as the unfortunate, and there are any number of persons who have gone for days, seeking and trying continuously to find opportunities and work, in order that they might take care of their homes; often this has all been in vain. I know of no specific instance where the Colored people are not receiving a fair consideration by you, the same I HARRY G. COUNSMAN VOTE FOR THE FRIEND OF THE COLORED PEOPLE, HARRY G.

If you could inject a | proposition that will be of some as sistance, whether the same is, or is not connected with the Association, it will be highly appreciated and needed among this body of people. In this group, there are men and women, as manly and womanly, as are found in any other people: the good, bad and indifferent are found in all, regard less of race. As a whole, they are an appreciative bady, and are anxious appreciative body, and are anxious We are not expecting that you go to an extra expense in our behalf, for we realize the situation of today, but wherever there is a duty to be per formed that requires employment, it will be highly appreciated by this body of people if they are given con sideration.

Bryce Crawford, County Judge ! Who Can Pull Us Out of this Economy Parlysic? The United States CongTess is the only body with power to help the tax payers at this time. To be truthful it makes no dif ference whether the President or Congress is democratic or republican. The important thing is to elect men to Congress who will stand for rigid government economy. “Mac” Baldrige is a leader of the Economy Bloc. His econ omy record stamps Baldrige as one of the outstanding fighters for government economy. Regardless of party afiliations the tax payers of this district can not afford to lose “Mac” Baldrige in Congress. That is why we are urging you to re elect Congressman Malcolm ' Baldrige on November 8 j f (This advertisement written \ | and paid for by democratic and j i republican supporters of Mac j Baldrige.)
