Platform of The Pace prejudice must go. The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man must prevail. These are the only principles which will stand the acid test of good citizenship in time of peace, war and death. (1) We must have our pro-rata of employment in businesses to w hich we give our patronage, such as groc ery stores, laundries, furniture stores, department stores and coal companies, in fact every concern which we sup port. We must give our citizens the chance to live res pectably. We are tired of educating our children and permitting them to remain economic slaves and enter in to lives of shame. (2) Our pro-rata of employment for the patronage to our public corporations such as railroad companies, the street car company, the Nebraska Power Company, the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company and other establishments w hich we are forced to support by right of franchise. Also our pro-rata of employment in re turn for the taxes we pa$ in our city, county state and federal government. (3) To encourage the establishment of a first class hospital that we may get the best that there is in medical science from our doctors whom we know to be nearest us, also to encourage a high resoect of them and encourage more of our girls to take nurse training. (4l A one hundred per cent deportment of our cit izen- in our public or private places of business, especial ly on street cars.

All peo ple of all races must be educated up to a higher principle and a more thorough understanding of interracial rela tionship the.t our country may in reality be a government of the people, for the people and by the people in whole j and not in part. (6) The re-establishment of the Christian Religion as Christ taught it. for the uplifting of mankind, elimin ating financial and personal gain. A practical Christian Religion, week day as well as Sunday. An attitude to ward our fellow man as a brother in order to establish a principle which will guide the destiny of each other’s children; our neighbor’s children today are our children tomorrow.

(8) To encourage and assist in the establishment of the following financial institutions near 24th and Lake Streets; A building and loan association, a state bank, and, also, a fir>t-ciass trust company for the purpose of administering aid and assistance to our widows and children.

This, we be-! lieve will make men and women think before marrying. (14) We must become ow ners of the city govern ment by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom we employ to administer its affairs, a salary that will at tract men of high calibre. National ■ -. (1) Fight for a passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill and thu> stop the shamful lynching of American citizens. (2) One of our citizens in the president’s cabinet. (3) Federal control of the educational system that every child must have a high school education. (4) Assist in the furtherance of research by our scientists and historians to prove that civilization was first founded in Africa. (5) Establish a political influence which will bring about our pro-rata of higher appointments made by our chief executives. (6) Stop graft in politics by passing a Federal Law making election day a legal holiday and compelling every American citizen of voting age to vote. (7) Prevent further wars by teaching the so-called white race that it is high time for them to quit fooling themselves about white supremacy with only three-tenths of the world’s population. They must be taught that color is due to climatic conditions. They must be taught that seven-tenths of the world’s population is made up of darker races. They must be taught that the rays of sun that blaze upon the equator and turn the skin brown do not affect the power of the brain any more than the cold ness of icy glaciers affect the brain of the white race; and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed by a money mad few. If the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man are not welded into the hearts of this world’s family now, by teaching the principles laid down by our Saviour, it will be welded into the hearts of our For School Board SAM KLAVER Mr. Sam Klaver is a candidate for the Board of Education.

Sam Klaver says he will not stop until your boys and girls are given every right from the Board of Education that every other nationality is enjoying today. A vote for him on November 8th, is a vote for the protection of your children's future opportunities. children some day soon, on the bloodiest battlefields this world has ever known. (8) Cut down congressional representation from the Southern States in proportion to the number of votes cast.

RODMAN CANDIDATE FOR § STATE SENATOR 6th District I J Congressman Malcolm Baldrige Congressman Malcolm Baldrige in | a final statement issued before the November 8 election pledged himself, if re-elected next Tuesday, to con I tinue the constant fight for govern ! ment economy that he has waged dur. ! ‘ng the past term of Congress, in an : effort to save the taxpayers of this district through drastic reduction of national exxpenditures “Regardless of the outcome of the election, I promise to do all in my power to see that government econ omy becomes a reality,” said Bal drige. “If the voters of this district send me back to Washington, I shall endeavor to heed their wishes and work for whatever legislation bene fits this district, no matter by which political party the particular legisla tion is sponsored. “As a republican, I~ naturally hope for a republican Administration, but I promise to support the Presidential nominee whom the majority of the voters of this nation elect. I believe that the experience which I have gained during the past session of Congress will help me be of even greater service to the people of this district, if I am returned to office next Tuesday.” Congressman Baldrige said he would vote to eliminate the interest on the Soldier Bonus, if re-elected. J. R Dunlap, assistant U. S. Secre tary of Agriculture, said in a speech at Springfield, Neb., Saturday night: “Congressman Malcolm Baldrige has done fore for his district in the short time he has been in Congress than has i any other Congressman. I have per sonally seen Mac. Baldrige working in Congress and I consider him one of J the most effective fighters for govern ment economy among our newer Con gressmen.” Democratic and republican voters of ! the Second district are behind Bal j drige because they appreciate his i economy fight. — Judge Thomsen ARTHUR C. THOMSEN District Judge Arthur C. Thomsen, present presiding judge of the Dis trict Court, is a native Nebraskan and dean of the law school at the Uni versity of Omaha. With nineteen years of law exper ience Judge Thomsen has established a remarkable record on the district court bench. He has had only three reversals out of 23 cases appealed. Quoting the Chief Justice of the Su preme Court of Nebraska: “The aver age of affirmances throughout the country is less than 60 percent.” Judge Thomsen’s affirmances record is more than 86 per cent. Judire Thomsen has enjoyed an excellent record for settlements. His efforts in encouraging and inducing settlements has resulted in ending many cases without trial, satisfying the parties, and saving the County and State much money. He has been endorsed and recom mended by the Omaha Bar Association and Bar of the Fourth Judicial dis trict, which includes Washington, Douglas and Burt counties. Another feature of Judge Thomsen’s record is: established money-saving procedure in trial court, declared by Supreme Court in 120 Nebraska re ports, at page 751, as “in line with the modern prevailing tendency to ward practicalism which seeks to shorten and to simplify judicial pro. i cedure.” Judge Thomsen is active in many Omaha circles. H also is a member of Covert Lodge, No 11, A. F. and A. 'M., being at one time master of the same lodge. Judge Hastings Residents of the Fourth Judicial district, regardless of party affilia tions, who are interested in good gov ernment and the election of capable judges, are strongly urging the elec tion of District Judge William G. \ Hastings to the district bench of Douglas, Washington and Burt coun j ties Judge Hastings is considered one of the best judges ever to grace the Ne braska bench, according to former Dis . trict Judge Fred A. Wright, now city attorney of Omaha, who sat with Hastings as a member of the distric ; bench Former Supreme Judge Fran ■ S. Howell of the Nebraska supreme ] court and Supreme Judge L. B. Day are other judges who willingly spoke regarding the Judge Hastings and his qualifications. Former Senator Gilbert Hitchcock urged Judge Hastings’ re-election in a radio speech Wednesday night and Mrs. W. E. Minier of Oakland, for mer president of the Nebraska Fed eration of W omen’s Club and at pres ent republican state vice-chairman favors his candidacy as does Frank P Matthews, democratic chairman for Douglas county. Judge Hastings has served as mem ber of the Fourth district bench since 1923. Prior to that time he was Dean of the University of Nebraska Law School and is an author of legal text books. He also served on the Nebras ka supreme court commission and was the Nebraska member of the National Commission on Uniform State Laws. In a recent referendum of lawyers of the district he received 475 votes of 501 counted. He presides over the Equity Court, without a jury thu« saving the Nebraska tax payers thous ands of dollars yearly. THE REAL MAN _M — ! Wk A hSc HARRY G. COUNSMAN by John Benj. Horton, Jr. It is a pleasure to say that the Col ored people of Omaha have always had a friend in Harry G. Counsman I speak of every Colored person in Douglas County, also Mr. Counsman is one of the very few Commissioners ever to accord us our rightful degree of fairness in matters of taxation as well as ordinary everyday courtesy Certainly this is the opportune time to keep Harry G. Counsman ‘On the Job’, because we never could attain our rightful consideration in all mat ; ters of County Government if Doug las County were flooded with five democratic County Commissioners, to foolishly make unnecessary ap propriations and spend the County’s money like ‘wildfire.’ Don’t Forget! THE NAME IS:— HJTfeRY G. COUNSMAN, Republican Candidate for Re-election, Nov. 8th MEETING CHRIS 14. TRACY by C. H. Burdette, reporter Last Monday, I walked into Mr. Tracy’s office on the second floor of the Court House to find out how the Chief Deputy record papers of value were kept. He and Mr. Willis Gray his efficient colored assistant, took me up on a little gallery where the oldest records are kept. Mr. Tracy showed me a record of a piece of property that dates way back into the 19th century, when the govern ment was giving homesteads to peo ple who settled in Nebraska. Large books containing bond transfers, deeds and papers of value can be re corded here at a small cost of $1.00, for each $1,000. Mr. Tracy talks en thusiastically when you ask him ques tions concerning his work. He seems to be accurately fitted in his position. We left the balcony where the old deeds were kept on the last floor of the office. Mr. Tracy showed me where the first piece of property I spoke of, had been mortgaged, sold, transferred, mortgaged and sold a gain. Mr Tracy has worked in this office for 17 years, under the late Harry Pierce and is now acting Chief Deputy. If the election breaks in his favor, he will resume his duties as recorder of deeds. “Willis Gray is as competent a man as can be found, he tells me.” People who are interested in our advancement will vote for Mr. Tracy and keep Willis Gray in his office. DR. PERKINS’ CASE Once again, the hatred of the ruling class of Oklahoma has fallen on one of our brothers. Just as in the case of Jess Hollins, a young negro worker sentenced to death because he demand ed the wages due him as a farm hand, so is the case of Dr. Perkins, who has just been sentenced to fifteen years because of his stand in defense of his race against the KKK of Oklahoma. The International Labor Defense has taken up his case and is trying to get him out on appeal to give Dr Per kins a chance to fight for his life in j stead of being shut up for fifteen years to rot in the jails of Oklahoma. Protests are asked to be sent in to 'Governor Murray to Help stop these | conditions of persecution and lynch ing that our people have to suffer un jder this rotfen capitalist system. Any 1 one wanting to help in this case, either I by funds or protest can call on Sue Stalker at 1410 No. 20th St. International Labor Defense Organizer. CANDIDATE for REGISTER of DEEDS Mr. Thomas J. O Connor, candidate for Register of Deeds makes state ment:— My attention has been called to false rumors about my position oil giving Colored Citizens their pro-rata of employment. Some of my enem. ' ies have gone so far as to state that if I was elected no Negro would bb employed in the Register of Deeds office. This is absolutely false and contrary to every principle I have have ever advocated in the City of Omaha. Not only will I give the Negroes their full pro-rata of employ ment in my office, if elected, but I will also do all that is in my power to assist the Omaha Guide in its pro rata Program to help secure the Ne gro full rights in proportion to the taxes he pays and the votes he casts in every place in the City, County and State where taxes are used for em ployment. o-———-o STATE REPRESENTATIVE 9th DISTRICT Every Man Deserves A Chance to Show His “Metal”.
