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.”

Contacting With Lennox

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

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

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

! 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
