n »r Bryan said: “Farm prices Junt

cent from the five year average from

things that I am doing now and will
continue to do to relieve the distressed
condition of the farmer.

and not turn the farmer oui on the
highway without giving him an oppor
tunity to work out from under his
indebtedness next v~ar so as to save
his farm. Neither should the farmer
be forced to market his grain and
stock now and further depress the
market.
“Many officials of loan companies
have agreed net to press foreclosures
this year. I have instructed the state
hanking department, which has charge
of the assets of failed banks, to defer
foreclosures to give the farmer a
chance under new conditions next
year.
“Our administration forced a reduc
tion in state appropriations last year
which is making a saving on taxes for
state purposes of about 25 per cent
for last year and this year. We have
also reduced valuations of farm pro
perly and are assisting in forcing re
dactions of taxes in counties, munici
palities and school districts. New le
gislation can he passed, and I will in
sist 'hat it must be passed, to further
reduce and also equalize taxes and
give to the farmers a break during
this depression which has been caused
by unfriendly national legislation and
administration policies.
“I will insist on repeal of the intan
gible tax law, which has been giving
the man with a large income a 75 per
cent advantage over the farmer.
“I will insist that legislation be en
acted to reduce the interest rate on
delinquent taxes from 12 per cent to
not to exceed 8 per cent.
"I will endeavor to procure the pas
sage of a law repealing the deficiency
judgment act so that the owner of a
mortgage, after taking the farmers’
»r home-owners property, cannot get
a deficiency judgment against his wife
and children for the rest of their lives.
“I am favoring a state income tax
to equalize taxes between the farmer
and the profiteers, and will insist that
all money collected from an income
tax be used to reduce by that amount

orderly marketing and the state can
afford to encourage these movements
by financial assistance.
"While judges, sheriffs ami other
officials of the government roust do
their duty in interpreting and enforc
ing the laws, yet they should be len
ient and use discretion in working a
hardship on the owners of farms and
homes who must hold to their proper
ty to protect their equity, which is
usually thei- life savings, for the sup
port of their wives and children.
"Farming in Nebraska is the basic
industry, and all other lines of busi
ness and professions are dependent
upon the success of the farmer for in
come and future happiness. Anyone
who will not cooperate in every legiti
mate manner to assist in raising the
price of farm products, which are now
below the cost oif production, is disloy
al to those upon whom he must depend
for his living.
“I am urging the voters of Nebraska
to give me democratic state officers

me prom He the welfare of the basic
mdu'try of Nebraska and all those
dependent upon it for their susten
ance and happiness."
BONt SEERS BAN JIM CROW
Roy E. Wilkins, former newspaper
man, now Assistant Secretary of the
National Association for the Advance,
raent ef Colored People, graphically
describes the absence of “Mr, James
Crow” among the veterans of the B.
E. F. during their recent Bonus en
campmei t at Washington.
“In general assemblies, and in
marches there were no special places
•for Negroes’ The black boys did not
have to tag along at the end of the
line of march,” declares Mr. Wilkins
in his article in the October Crisis
magazine. “They were shot all
through the B. E. F. In the rallies or
the steps at the nation’s capitol they
were in front, in the middle, in the
rear.
“One of the most significant as
pects of the bonusers’ banishment oi
Jim Crow.” Mr. Wilkins continues, “is
the lie it gives to United States Army
officials who have been diligently
-spreading the doctrine that whites ant
blacks could not function together ii
the army; that they could not use th<
same mess tents, mingle in the sam<
oompaniee, council together on mili
tary problems. The B. E, F, prove*
that negroes and whites can do al
thetfe things together, that even Ne
groes and white Southerners can do
them together. How can the Army
h gher-ups explain that?
In an effort to provide Negro vot
ers with information on all of the po
litical parties, who have nominees in
the presdential campaign, The Crisis*
Magazine is continuing to conduct a
political symposium of articles written,1
by Negro political leaders in favor i
of the varous candidates. In the Oc
tober issue, which has just been re- j
leased, John R. Hawkins and Jeffer- !
son Coage urge Negroes to “Vote for
Hoover”! Says Mr. Hawkins, “every ,
intelligent and fair-minded person j
knows that the right and privilege of
franchise is the highest reward for |
loyal citizenship and no person who
■ualifies by meeting the legal re
quirements should be denied it by
reason of race, color, creed or prev
ious condition of servitude over which
he had no control. The party that is
gui'tv of such a crime ought to be '
condemned and not supported. A I
vote for the candidates or standard
hearers of such a party is a vote to
rut in power such a party. Deny me
the right and privilege of franchise
and you rob me of my most precious
birthright as an American Citizen.”
Alien Student Ruling Will Affect
Enrollment at Howard University
Washington — (ONS) —The ruling
of the Department of Labor ordering
the deportation of foreign students at
tending American institutions, who
engage in any business or occupation
for profit, if enforced will affect a
considerable coterie of students en
rolled at Howard University, as well
as other educational institutions
throughout the United States.
It is claimed that more than 700
students at Columbia, a number of
whom are colored, will be affected by
the new ruling of Secretary of Labor,
William N. Doak.
Designating the ruling as “Not only
unfair but short-sighted and unwise
from any point of view” President
Livinston Farrand of Cornell, is joined
by many other college presidents in
various terms of objections. Presi
dent Butler of Columbia labeled the
act as “Reactionary, stupid, and clear
ly against the interest of the Ameri
can people, and their influence in the
world.”
The ruling is retroactive and will
at once affect all students admitted to
this country on a non-quota basis to
engage in vacation or part-time em
ployment to help finance their educa
tion here.
It is explained by The Department
of Labor that the ruling will reduce
competition for jobs with Americans
seeking to work their way through
school, and further that non-quota
students already in the United States
will be permitted to continue to work
for room and board, but not for money
wages, provided they were registered
prior to August 1, 1932.
The ruling as lately promulgated
will affect the major portion of the
150 foreign students enrolled at How
ard University, and listed from the
following countries:
British West Indies, 89; British
Guiana, 16; Africa, 6; Porto Rico, 6;
Bermuda, 4; Cuba, 3; Panama, 3;
Canada, 2; Haiti, 2; South America,
2; Costa Rica, 1; England, 1; Hon
duras (British), 1; Japan, 1; Poland,
1; Russia, 1.
MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT BY
VOTING THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET STRAIGHT
(By ANDREW STUART)
Franklin Delano Roosevelt for Pres.
John Nance Garner, for Vice Pres.,
Chas. W Bryan for Governor Ed
ward R. Burke for Congress.
Dear Friends:—
Just a few more days and the A.
merican people will go to the polls
and cast their vote for their party
candidates. We don’t know whether
you have made up your mind or not,
but we have, and we believe that
honesty requires us to tell our read
ers what party we are going to vote
for and why. We do not believe that
the Democratic party has any better
remedy for our economic ills, than
the Republican party We believe that
uoin parues are unable to solve our
financial difficulty but voting the
Democratic ticket, will identify our
ballot as an “Independent Voter”, as
thousands of our people throughout
the country will do. It will also i
dentify our vote with the majority of
voters in the State of Nebraska,
which no doubt will be for the Dem
ocratic party. The Garner “hooey”
that is being put out by Perry How
ard and Oscar DePriest, holds no
brief for me. Traditional voting,
must no longer be a basis for our
votes. The Republican party is no
longer the party of Lincoln We must
take our stand for State citizenship,
which we must do to secure work for
the laboring masses, relief from the
burdens of taxation, and a State pro
gram of mutual understanding in the
voting unit of the state. The federal
constitution gives all the power to the
State government, our Vote and a re
quest for Negroes to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket in Nebraska this fall is
a bid for friendship. Education, work
on Public highways and in public in

stitutions are all maters controlled by
the State.
As you go to the polls next Tues
day to cast your vote, we wish to call
the attention of the Negro voters to
some of the State and County Demo
cratic candidates that deserve the
support of our people. Governor
Charles W. Bryan, represents that
tine quality, that is free from petty
anomosity and is the type of officer,
who is the perfect gentleman; who
treats all men alike in his office.
Mr. Joseph M. Lovely, candidate
for Public Defender of all candidates
deserves the support of our people.
In his public and private life, he has
always shown himself to be a gentle
man of the highest character, free
from petty prejudice We are the
poorest people in the community and
we the least abl to secure protection
in our civil rights. This is the reas
on that we should be careful to sup
port candidates who are not endorsed
by the Klu Klux Klan
Mr. James M. Roncka, candidate on
the non-partisan ticket for member
of the school board, is a gentleman of
the highest quality, who believes in
fair play for all regardless of creed
1 or color. This is the first time in
! the history of later day politics in
this county that members of our
group have had the opportunity to
cast their vote for a member of the
school board, that has the entire
community at heart, that will give
every consideration to those who are
aspiring to better their condition.
Mr. James O’Connor, Democratic j
candidate for Register of Deeds, is
well qualified for that position, be- |
j cause of his thorough knowledge of
the property owners in Douglas |
County. Mr. O’Connor is refined and
you will be assured of courteous
treatment when you have occasion to
call at his office for any business
transaction.
We wish to call your attention to
the Honorable Francis P. Matthew,
candidate for Director of the Utilities
Board. This is one of the most im
portant positions to be held in our
City and County. It will carry with
it a number of jobs which we believe
that Mr. Matthews if elected, will
give to our group, a fair consideration
A vote for Edward R Burke, is a
guarantee of our protection and the
Civil Rights of the nation.
Be sure to vote for Johnny Owen,
for State Representative from the
9th district.
For Judces of the District Court:
Sophus F. Neble, Frank M. Dinec-n,
Charles E. Foster, James M Fitz
gerald, Herbert Rhoades.
For Judges of the Municipal Court:
Lester Palmer, George Holmes, A.
W Elsasser.
If these gentlemen are elected,
they will consult our representative
citizens upon all subjects of import
ance that afect our group
Respectfully,
ANDREW STUART,
2522 Lake Street.
W. R. Patrick
For District Judge
This opportunity of adding to our
District Bench a man of Mr. Patrick’s
outstanding qualities should not be I
over-looked by a single voter. He will
judge no man by his color, creed or
station in life. He believes that Moses
was divinely directed when he said:
“Judge righteously between every
man and his brother, and the stranger
that is with him. Ye shall not re
spect persons in judgment; but ye
shall hear the small as well as the
great.”

THESE HUSBANDS OF OURS
by “Madam X”
Slovenliness vs. Love
(Next Week: “Some Wives and Oth
ers” by Mr. “X”)
(The Literary Service Bureau)
An old man of seventy years al
most lost his mind because of the
conclusion that his sixty-five year
old wife did not love him. He based
his contention on the fact that she
reproved him at the table, and that
she would not sleep with him. He
handled coal and wanted to go on to
the table without changing his"~cloth
es and smear up the table linen, to
- -
say nothing of being repulsive in per.
son. He would not bathe and change
clothes at night, and his bedding was
always dirty. But he wanted her to
love him, and sleep with him in spite
of his dirt.
There are other husbands who are
dirty; refuse to take a bath; wet their
hands and wipe the dirt on the towel;
leave dirty clothes around on the
floor; leave the bath tub and wash
bowl dirty; and, in other ways make
the lot of their wives hard. Love
them? Why, what woman would—
or could love such a man?

A Statement By
Robert Smith
I wish to brand as utterly false the statement
which appeared in The Guide, October 8th, under
the heading, “Herbert Hoover—Slave Trader, Ne
gro Hater and Jim Crow Expert.”
President Hoover has an affidavit in his desk in
Washington from the man who started these false
stories regarding the President’s attitude toward
the Negroes, admitting them to be utterly untrue.
President Hoover is friendly to the Negroes.
That fact is evidenced by the large number of Ne
groes now serving in various departments of the
Government under President Hoover. Mr. Ford,
Negro, formerly editor of The Guide, is now engag
ed in Government work in Washington.
It is evident those character assassinating and
viciously false statements about our President came
from Democratic sources. Their purpose was to
arouse Negroes against one of the best friends the
Negro has had in high Office since Lincoln. I can
not believe any Negro will be misled by that sland
er.
