committees direct the drive in each
dstrict where the colored vote pre
dominates A spirited campaign on
the part of these committees, cou
pled with similar activity in the un
ions, is credited with the record
regist -Btion in Harlem distr;cts last
we«k Early figures released by the
bead of Education indicated a 40
per cent increase in Ha'lem regis
tration.
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.
The convention was held instead
in the Labor Stage theatre, 106
West 39th street, with many Negro
delegates in attendance
The American Labor pa ty of
New York is affiliated with Labor’s
Non-Partisan league which is sup
porting P -esident Roosevelt nation
ally. Although no local candidates
are endorsed by the New York
City party this year, the o -ganiza
tion will support independent can
didates next y<*ar committed to its
political, social and legislatve ob
jectives- It will renrain as a per
manent political pa ty in New York
state and serve as a nucleus, its
loaders expect, for 'a genuine Labor
party on a national scale
OMAHA S OWN HAS MADE
GOOD: FROM BOOTBLACK
TO DISTRICT JUDGE
As a boy, Judge Arthur C- Thom
sen shines! shoes 'and sold newspa
pers on the streets of Omaha to
help his mother maintain a home
fo ' himself and brother- He was a
member of the newsboys union
Judge Thomsen was born on a
Nebraska farm, and when he was
a small boy his parents removed to
Omaha, where Judge Thomsen has
resided ever since.
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. Judge A
C- Troup, some years ago, he was
• lected as Dc*an of the law school
which position he now holds
Judge. Thomsen served as an of
ficer in the balloon division of the
aviation section during the world
war. He is n:ow serving his eighth
year as Judge of the District
Court, and recently lawyers in the
fourth judicial district endorsed
him for re-election this fall.

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. W. LIFE INSURANCE
ASSOCIATION OUTLOOK
HIOH FOR 1937
New business secured this year
points to a probable new high in
the history of the Woodman of the
World Lfe Insurance ass’n- in 1937,
I acco ding to the report of De
Emmett Bra |shajw, pjrdsidenit, to
the board of directors
“The usual rule is that 14 per
cent of. the amount of business on
the books must be written annual
ly,” Bradshaw said. “This would
require us to write 60 million dol
lars per annum. We wi-ote that
much in the first six months of the
year ”
iA plan initiated last June to
provide monthly installment loan,
a paid-up certificate, or a cash
surrender o - loan value on certain
certificates not provided therewith
has received an enthusiastic public
eccption, Bradshaw said- The
change affected amout 133,000 mem
hers and already more than 3,500
members have taken loans totaling
mo -e than $813,000- Comparatively
few surrendered their policies, he
said, while only 44 have taken paid
up certficates
“Because of the strict manner in
which we have ca Tied on our busi
ness the refunds which have been
made, the provisions for additional
privileges of certain certificates
and the close contact which we have
ojom ‘s.ioqtuaui -tno qpAY peupnutmu
has resulted what we might term
a satisfied membership,” Bradshaw
said
Detail matters taken befo"e the
board included a proposal to issu<
loans on real estate through the
Fed. Housing Administration; a pro
posal to modernize and rearrange
the lower floor of the association’s
homo offices in the Insurance, build
ing; a p-oposal to hold the 1937
Sovereign Camp meeting in San
Francisco; and a review of the work
the Woodman of the World did for
Dood victims in Georgia and Pen
nsylvania in the last year.

M. G_1 love the boy that lives
behind my cousin’s house Will I
have to learn to dance before I
can win his love?
A -.,s: A knowledge of bancing
wouldn’t help you much with this
young man as he is entirely wrap
ped u"> in anc he. girl- If you ex
pect him to show you any -atten
tion you must stop trying to at
tract his attention and let him
seek your friendship
W- E—-Please tell me if I am
going to bo successful in the ven
ture that I have in mind?
Ans: I don’t believe you will
have much success with this ven
ture. Stick to your LABORING
JOB for a while yet and when you
save enough money to make the
change you have in mind it will be
worth while to you
C- J D_Please advise me whet
her or not to enter the law suit
atra'nst this company I am now
envolved ?
Ans: Settle OUT OF COURT
It seems to me that if the case is
tried it will not be settled in your
favor
ite W- S—Will you please tell
m« what became of my mother’s
money ?
Ans: She herself DROPPED
this nionej • ui it was not sto ■ n
by anyone. A child picked this
money up it seems to me and I do
not see it in her possession again.
M. A E—I graduate from high
school this past June and I am
wondering if the predictions are
t, ue that were said about me?
Ans: Not altogether , you will
not go to CALIFORNIA to live
this fall- It appears to me that
you will go to Chicago and study
Dramatic Art and will go into this
lirte professionally when you com
plete the course You -are very tal
ented
f], E. r—Are the thoughts that
constantly come before my mind
regarding my step-father true?
Ans: No. your step-father is
innocent of the things you have
in mind Ho did NOT take anyone
■along on his VACATION several
weeks ago
M E- C—I want to make some
progress through life and I want
to know if I should get married
or continue school ?
Ans: If you wish to carry out
your plans you h'ad better give up
the idea of MARRIAGE- No seven
teen year old girl has enough edu
cation to accomplish what you
have outlined for yourself if she!
gets married- Return to school at
once.
E. P—Do you think it worth
while for me to continue to get
this money that I have in mind?
Ans: You have failed ...it is cost
ing you more to retain a lawyer
than you could probably get as a
settlement. Let the case drop
B. N C—Please answer my j
question just as quick as possible. |
What in the world must I do about
my job?
Ans: TELL THE TRUTH .and
you will hold your job The other
party will be found out before this

$661,291.00 PROPOSED BOND
ISSUE WILL NOT HELP
SAYS “BILL” NORMAN
Doug us County would not now
bo b oke, In the opinion of Wm J
“Bill” Norman, candidate for the
county commissioner, had a close
check been kept on expenditures
during the pest fiscal year.
“With the establishment of a li
beral budget fo- county operations,
county departments far exceeded
the budget and today the county is
without funds and credit is ex
hausted
“Even the $661,291 00 proposed
bond issue will not help The bur
den will merely be lifted to the al
eady overruden backs of the tax
payers- With the county commis
sioners setting the example of In
discriminate expenditure, Out of
thirty, all but nine departments
exceeded thel • budgets
“Under the budget the county
was pledged to remain within the
limits of the sum of $1,072,'743-00,
r, liberal estimate for all county op
erations At the end of the budget
year, August 19.36, quantities of
red ink were needed when it was
found that the commissioners and
the department heads had exceeded
the budget by $74,H77.ua.

They are all seem to be imp-cessed
with the deep responsibility they as
sume when they take the oath to
uphold those institutions on which
American citienship is based.
“I have watched these new citi

important to me to impress upon
them the part the courts p’.'ay in

“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?
Governor Landon points th e way to
prosperity and happiness—the Ameri
can way. Let's make our Country once
more the land of the free.
