County Comm ission' er W'l liam Barber Should Be Sheriff — At no time in the life of men are their lives and character, so close ly looked-into as it is when they are seeking public office. Tuesday, August 14, the people of this state will go to the polls to nominate men to con duct the affairs of the nation, state and coun ty. There are 12,000 Negroes living in Oma ha and Douglas county, whose civic securtiv has been threatened in the past few years and is growing worse everv day. ’ A man for the office of Sher iff of Douglas County is to he nominated at, the primaries. This is the most important office an the county. Our life, liberty we have studied with frreat care and happiness is in the hands of 'the County Sheriff. Therefore 'the life and public record of 1 Commissioner Barber and we present him as the most logical candidate for onr people’s sup port for th^s office. He is con siderate, conservative, free from racial perjudiee,. unhampered by political promises. A native of Ohio, the state, whose people are known for the sacrifice made in behalf of our ‘people in conducting of the underground railroad, assisting thousands of our people to free dom: caused “Uncle Tom’s Cab in’’ to be wrote, which brought about the Civil War, freeing four million black. slaves. We, as citizens of IXmglas County can not. afford to go on record, as re fusing to give him our support. If you wish to know how Mr. Barber, stood, on the employ ment of Negroes look at his rec ord, while in charge of the 'Smelters. Mr. Bayfield Parker, a businessman at 2522 Lake street v.iill tell you that more Negroes were employed at the Smelters, •under Mr. Barber, than ever be f re or since. The Negroes know how they •>re subjected to mistreatment at ihe hands of officers. No Negro is safe unless he is protected by a man of sound principle and high character. 5 oil will ‘hat Commissioner Barber is such a man. There has been some misrepresent at i o n on this subject and we are placing this in the Oma ha Guide that the Color ed people may be cor rectly informed. c Political Advertsement) READER FOR JOHN F.

Do you know that the three hundred positions are available in the County Surveyor's office At the present time n. '\w>f these positions are held by acolor ed voters, caused by the fact, that dur ing the past IS years wa have -’atvl .cm ■ •)< e who has turned his back on us when it came time to fill these positions.

Bill Green, during his 11 yean as foreman of the Omaha street (loaning department, under Dean Noyes, had employed more colored employes, than any other Department of our city government. Not because they were colored, but because, as ha says, they were dpendable, and rendered ef t 1 v’*' i v ' Bill Green says "that if elected Coun ty Surveyor, he win continue the same policy of giving Colored voters their i I- "( representation, and will be giv en Jobs based upon our ability to per farm them.' , Such a fair statement reserves the support of every Colored Voter in the City and County.
