Local campaign managers have expressed the conviction that this itxro d vote will be cast under the emblem of the American Labor party "to defeat the combination of reactionary anti-labor and anti social forces head by Governor Alf M- Landon, and to assure the re eleotion of Franklin D- Roosevelt” The prestige of the party was strengthened in Harlem last week when the Manhattan division st uck back at the Hotel Delano, down town hoetel -y, for its alleged dis crimination against Dr Malaku Bayo.n, first cousin and special en voy of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia- 1 The Hotel Delano denied the Ethopian envoy accomodations when he arrived here -ecently from London- Informed of the incident, The American Labor pa'ty immed iately cancelled its reservations for the New York County convention which was scheduled to be held in the Delano Sunday afte noon, Oct 11th.

In those days, boys carried black ing boxes over their shoulders, and when they saw a man with soiled boots, they asked for the job of cleansing them. With brushes and cloths the shine boy got busy, and when the job was done his pay was based on the generosity of the employer. Nickles and dimes, earn ed in this way, were added to others earned from selling daily papers, to help fill the family la der Judge Thomsen worked his way through the grade and high schools and the University of Omaha law school- After some years in pract ice, he se ved as a professor, with out pay, at his alma mater, and upon the death of the late.

Betty Reasoner For the AdminlstXatdoner WILL PUT IN SYSTEM OF COMPETITIVE PURCHASING SAYS LEONARD BERGMAN Leonard B- Bergman, candidate [pc county commission*' \ is a busi ness man of many years experience, who believes that public business can be run as efficiently as private business He declares that if he is elected he will establish in the oounty commission some of those methods he lea m'd while in contact with the business world. “The present system of non-com petitive purchasing by the county commissioners and heads of var ious county depa tments is one that should be abolished at once- No ar ticle for county use. should be bou ght unless bids had been received and all purchasing should be cen tered in one agency- The present system which permits the head of any county department to purchase indiscriminately, aterial and com modities for oounty use, has re ulted in inefficiency and loss of money “In 1935 when a liberal budget had Jbeen adopted for the ensuing year’s business the sum of $1,073, 740 was adopted and county oper ations were to be conducted within this budget- In August 1936, at the end of the budget year, it was found that the county had exceed ed its budget by $74,977-09, and out of thirty county departments only nine had operated within the bud get “Non-competitive buying was common among the commissioners during the yea1, and apparently with no thought of remaining with in the budget Department heads cannot, be criticized ^ 1 ursihly, for they merely followed the lead of thei • superiors- Under the present system of buying the coming year will undoubtedly show a larger de ficit than the. year just closed “With a curtailment of buying, and close attention to advantageous prices resulting f cm competitive '■'riding, huge sums of county funds can be conserved-” W. 0.

MAKE AMERICA OKCE MCltE “THE LAND OF THE FREE” ITT J/l i I .President Roosevelt openly boasts of having set up new “instruments of pow er’’ that could be used to “shackle the liberties of the people.’’ With his “new instruments of pow er" he is holding back sound recovry; he is mortgaging the future of every man, woman and child for generations to come: he is fanning the flame of communism, bolshevism and class hat red. In order to continue his “new in struments of power, ’ ’ he would ‘ ‘ shac* kb'” the Supreme Court and rewrite the Constitution. Is that the kind of government our forefathers died t ostablish in America? Is that the kind of liberty that millions have come here to enjoy?
