North 24th Stree1 Stroll (Stuart Service Bureau) DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES For United States Senator, Congress man Edward R. Burk.: for County Sheriff, County Commissioner Wm. Barber: for County Attorney, Wiliiam Jamieson. As the election aproaches, the candidates are talking of the New Deal. The Negro voters along the' Stroll are wondering just how they have be.n affected. While there is a deal of grumbling among the rock | ribbed Republicans. The most pro ; gressive Negro, s, who are in the majority, look upon this administra tion as a savior of their group. It j is going the rounds that Congressman j Burke has oposed every Legislation j that favored the Negro. But the | liberal appointments the Negroes have j received without a dissending vote i has been pointed out with pride. For i instance, Dr. Wiliam J. Tompkins, of Kansas City, was appointed Re corder of Deeds of the District of Col umbia: Rob rt L. Vann, Special As sistant to the Atomey General: Eu gene Kinckle Jones, Special Advisor in the department of Commerce: Forrest or B. Washington, Special Assistant to Harry Hopkins: Earl R. Moses, member of the Research Bureau; and many oth rs that space and time does not permit us to mention. While Nebraska has a Negro population of only 15,000 there are about 100 boys in the C. C. C. Camps. In reply to a letter which I wrote Congressman Burke in regards to Negro workers being discharged from work on the Missouri River, he stated that they would be paced back and tey were. Regradess of what the Republicans out of the state may say, the Negroes of Omaha and the state know that there has been no distinction drawn because of cried or color and yet you are tolld tat Mr. Burke opposes everything that has come up for the NegTO. William Barber County Commisioner William Bai'ber Democratic Candidate for Sheriff of Douglas County, has shown by the manner in which he’s conducted him self that e knows the difficulty of the eominion peole: he is possessed with the highest integrety, free from racial prejudices and no doubt is the only democratic candidate for sheriff that can win in the fall election, if nomin ated in the primaries. m _ William N.

ENTERS RACE FOR GOVERNOR ROY COCHRAN ‘ R. L. Cochran, state engm er, an nounced his acceptance Tuesday of tho filings made by petitioners in behalf of his candidacy for the gov ernorship of Nebraska, with the fol lowing statement to the press: '.ooay I have accepted the filing made by petitions for me the office of Governor of Nbraska. “ih privil ge of having had a part in building the state road system, with out creating any indebtness, has been such a satisfaction to me that I havu been somewhat reluctant to accept this fili.ig. As a result, however, of tho requests which have come from ail over the State by petitions, letters md personal calls, urging m. to be eeimj a candidate for Governor, I have come to feel that I could be of greater sc "vice to my native statj in the of fice of Governor than in my present position. “These arnest demands have con vinced me that as Governor of the State of Nebraska I’d be given the united support of its citizens in work ing for the tilings needed most by and for the greatest benefit to the majority of its citizens. “My campaign will be made on my record of public service. “As Governor I will employ the sami-3 business efficiency in all state departments as I have aways used in the Department of Roads and Ii rigation. “I favor a constitution oi tne pre s. nt tax reduction program, at least until such time as the revenue from the farm, factory and business gen erally, has sufficiently increased to justify greater govejnmenta txpen ditures. I am opposed to any new forms of taxation. “I favor the continuation of our pre sent highway system which includes not only improvement of the main routes but also extensions of the sec ondary and feeder roads, that the "farmer may be served in 'marketing his products. I am opposed to the construction of eith.r state or county highways. “I favor the utilization of the waste waters of the state. I believe my residents in North Platte in the heart of the irrigated district, my ownership of a farm near there, and my experience as irrigation engineer over a period of years in administra ing the waters of the state, qualifies me to cooperate and assist in the development and administration of needed projects.”-—R.
