BILL GREEN, CANDIDATE FOR
COUNTY SURVEYOR ENDORSE)
BY THE GOODFELLOWS CLUB O.
ONE THOUSAND
The Goodfellows club of 1,00 has in
creased lt^ number to 6,00 registere
of both demcrats and republicans, fo
William “Bill” Green as County Su
veyor.
Mr- John A- Woods, president of th
Club, says on investigation of the re
cords in Douglas County Court House
he cannot find the vouchers or pay
check-, for the five Negroes that the
sppeaker at the “L“ Garage claimed in
(Voters of the second and seventh ward
his talk, worked in the County Surve
or’s office under the present County
Surveyor. Mr- Woodto says every Ne
gro in Douglas County should investi
gate the record of Bill Green for hi
qualifications and his fairness in givin
the Negroes f Omaha, not a 7 per cent
but a 14 per cent- Mr- Green says th |
Negro has been kept out of his prc
rata so long that if it is doubled, now i
would be no more than fair- Mr
Woods says Bill Green will carry th j
: second third wards five to one.
The Goodfellows Club of 1,000 has
made a check of the candidates for
Public officers, having in mind at tha
time of the investigation, to acquain
the voting public of the merits and
; qualifications of the respective candi
dates.
Do you know that the three hundre
positiorta are available in the County
Surveyor's office? At the present tim
none of these ppositions are held by
colored voter, caused by the fact tha
during the past 13 years we have plac i
ed a man in office who has turned hi
back on us when it came time to fil
these positions. Are we going to co
tinue to support men who do not giv j
us representation? The time ha
come for the colored voters of Omah i
to Isay “NO.”
William “Bill” Green, has been fai
in the past, and we can depend upo
him in the future. Bill Green, durin
his 11 yes- as foreman of the Omah
Street Cleaning Depa,rtmtent, unde
Dean Noyes, had employed more col
ored employees than any other depart
ment of our city government. Not be
cause they were colored, but because
as he says, they were dependable, an
rendered efficient service.
Bill Green qays that if elected Com
ty Surveyor he will continue the sam
policy of giving colored voters their
share of representation, and will b
given jobs based upon our ability t
perform them
Such a fair statement deserves th
support of every colored voter in th
city and county. We, the Goodfellow
Club of 1,00, urge our friends to vote
and work on the election of Bill Gree j
for County Surveyor of Douglas Cou '
ty.

Mr- R. L- Cochran
Dear Mr- Cochran:
I congratulate |you on being nomin
ated in the primaries for governor
of the State of Nebraska. Since I
have been a citizen of the state, I
have checked back a number of others
who have held the place you are as
piring for. The public as a whole
is responsible for each governor’s
nomination and election. Each of
these supporters is not given his
pro-rata of consideration yet they are
depended on in election for their
support of the state and county in
which they live. You know that is
not fair play, and I say again I be
lieve every man who runs for a public
office or a position should be a human
itarian and give justice to all regard
less of race, creed or color- If he
does not, he is not manifesting justi
ce to all, and according to the good
book, we should do unto others as we
would have others do unto us,and the
least yo do unto little, ones will be
done unto you- It is impossible for us
to get away from that saying. Much
emphasis has been placed on different
nationalities and religions, but not
at the poles paying taxes or other
supports each citizen has to give in
proportion. The employment should
be likewise.
We are all descended from mother
earth. Each of us is made from the
same clay, and none of us are res
ponsible for our pigmentation- There
is a great difference when it comes
to employment. Many are given
alibies instead of employment.
I am asking you at this time, what
consideration will you give, not in
promises, but in employment where it
is due, not according to the old cus
tom but according to justice and what
we pay for- I hope you will not mis
interpret my meaning. I will appre
ciate a reply. Thanking you kindly.
Respectfclly yours,
Dr- G. B- Lennox

Dear Dr Lennox:
I wish to thank you very much for
your leter of congratulation.
tin reply to your inquiry. I will
simply say that in case I am elected,
I promise to handle the matters re
ferred to by you in as fair and equi
table a manner as possible. Also I
have no prejudices as to race, creed,
etc.
With kindest regards, i am
Sincerely.

NEW DEAL

(Continued from Page 1)
j good white man, or a lazy shiftless
| Negro. The government found that
only 200 of the 6000 because of death
sickness of other such unforseen con
ditions failed to make good and pay
back
The tw0 following examples picked
at random from the let tells the story
generally, which was typical of the
cajority of this first 6000- A strand
(ed white farmer with wife andtwo
chidren had beenarelief case for more
than a year unable to obtain credit
for farm implements to earn a living.
He was advnced money by the Alaba
ma Relief Administration to cover
cost of food and clothing and farming
tools. This has been paid back in
full in work on public objects. He
produced a crop valued at $231. A
Negro with a wife and 5 children had
been on relief for a year- All of his
possessions were a few household fur
nishings. He was given sufficient
supplies and placed on an abandoned
farm of 20 acres. On August 15, he
met this obligation, and the debt was
paid- Today he is owner of a crop
valued at $348
Next year through the Alabama Re
lief Administration 14,000 farmers will
bring this total up to 20,000. They
will be advanced the equivalent of
$150. Out of this sum $40 will go
to the landlord as down payment to
purchase enough land to give the ten
ant a plot to build a 4 room house..
The Government will get the house
built for a cash outlay of $9-60. if
this proves out and the State Admi
r.istration gets rural Alabama spend
ing again it will make a real work
relief project for sever thousand men
felling umber on State land. The
lumber will be furnished in saw mills
that willl take as their pay part of
the lumber. The house will be built
by carpenters as part of the direct r
lief work program. The $9-60 will be
spent for such necessities as hinges
nails doors locks and window glasses
Probably the amount of Federal mon
ey laid out in work relief projects, to
create the houses will be some $200
per univ- The farmer will not get his
loan free- The Government will take
crop and labor in payment for it.
This progTom will run two more
years. It is wide enough to provide
real habilitation- The plan in rural
Alabama has worked only as a result
of close supervision of underpriviledg
ed people- Remove supervision now
and the group will drift helplessly
back to old conditions, but continue
supervision under the FERA ong
enough and will not be needed even
tually. Some 80,000 families in the
United States are being rehabilitated
like Alabama, directed by Assistant
Administrator, Lawrence Westbrooks
of the Federal Emergency Relief Ad
ministration. ^ fcifiggi
J. H. KEMP WIITEn
STATES SENATOR
J- H. Kemp, of Fulton, Nebr., R
publican candidate for United State
Senate, unexpired term says he be
levee In Negroes' pro rata of employ
ment in proportion to his populatio
an the votes he casts, and if he i
elected to the United States Senate
he will inequivocably take that stand
4- H- Kemp has been a Candida t
five times for public office- He serv
ed two terms as State Senator fror
hia own district, two terms froi
Nance County and one term on th
of Educ-t.ir>n. in 1914. he ra
for Governor of Nebrafika against R
B. Howe- Mr. Kemp is one of th
highest class citizens of Fulton, Nebr
a leading attorney and a pioneer o
the Western plains.
J- H- Kemp wag born on a farm
near Luray, Va., in 1872. He gradue<
ed from the William and Mary Co
lege at Williamsburg, Va., and s«r
ed three years as principal of Har
burg School- He came to Nebrask
in 1896 and graduated from la%
■school of the University of Nebrask
with the claas of 1898. He settled i
Fulton Nebr-, that same year an
has been there every since. His mai
interest is in farms and farming. Fo
the past ten years he has given mos
of his time to agriculture and stoc
raising.
Mr- Kemp says he believes Nebra
ka must be represented in the extr
session he feels sure will be calle
shortly after the election on Novenaj
ber 6. The fact that many of th
Recovery Acts are expiring and thaf
appropriations are runing low, an
also the fact that there are mor
people on the Federal Relief tha
ever before practically assures a
extra session- Mr. Kemp says the Ilf
of Nebraska is in the soil and in liv
stock production
Mr- Kemp says the trouble today i
not so much over production as it i
; under consumption. He says1 it is e
tirely inconsistent, on the part of th
Government to require the farmer t
increase production and at the sam
time spend millions of dollars on i
rigation projects- He says the cos
of Government is mounting as neve
before. The parf year and a hal
the cost has been $7,000,000 more tha j
any equal period previous. Mr
Kemp says every person, howeve
humble, is paying a part of this i
creare in government- The man i
the factory, the man on the strea
and the farmer in overalls help t
pay this cost of government by pny|
ing for what he uses. Mr. Kemp saj*
if he to elected, he will use the ini
fluence of hia office to curtail the e
pense of operation of our Gover
ment.
,J. H. Kemp says if he is elected h
will support the NAACP. in their e
forts to make the lynching of a h
man being a federal offense- Mr
Kenap thys he believes avenues o
employment should open up in ou
national and local government to tbf
youth of the Negro race who is cor
ing out of the high schools and un
verstes and if he is elected, he wil ;
use the influence of hia office to g©
as many appointments as possible fo
our girls and boys. He earnestly sol
cits your vote for the unexpired terr
to the United States Senate.

and pile up more millions or the
rights of the forgotten man of
less individuality to make a liv

more benefited by the New Deal
than any group: therefore, he
should give his etirne support to

We quote in ^art an article
from the Chicago Defender: ‘Tn

BANISH THE
RECKLESS DRIVER
Reports from police departments,
state traffic authorities and safety
organizations in all parts of the coun
try show a startling increase in au
tomobile accidents.
Every driving crime is on the rise.
The result, if the present trend con
tinues, will be that 1934 will see the
establishcent of a new high in fatali
ties- Statistics for the worst driving
months—October, November and De
cember — may make the record even
more horrible.
The automobile accident problem,
which has been a major issue for
many years, has reached a crucial
stage- The -American highway to
day is a slaughterhouse—the most
careful competent and courteous driv
er takes his life in his hands when he
ventures on it. Around the next curve
or over the next hill there may be a
drunken or reckless driver at the con
trols of several thousand pounds of
steel moving at a tremendous speed
Less than ten per cent of motorists
take chances—but that ten per cent
menace us all.
The old " fashioned type of safety
campaign, restricted both in time and
area, must be replaced by a mil safe
ty campaign, engineered and enforced
by the general public—by the ninety
per cent of drivers who are compe
tent and careful. The reckless must
be driven from the highways—and to
achieve this, the force of public opin
ion can be even more useful than law.
No matter how good a state’s traffic
code is, or how conscientious a high
svay patrol, it cannot produce result*
if the public is indifferent.
Banish the drunken, the reckless,
the incompetent driver—it may save
(r’our life, and the lives of loved ones.
