They say t"Frankson is fine fell
low" that "he contributed most liber-
ally to the campaign fund" - that
hell be all right"-but the Star
served notice during the primaries
about him, and every representative
Negro has openly declared war, with
the ballot as a defense. We are be-
yond the age of vituperation, but can
neither forgive nor forget his attitude.
He has asked no forgiveness and
made no apology. The Negroes feel
towards Mr.. Frankson as loyal Amer
leans feel towards the l. w. w. The
destruction of property is no greater
crime than the denial of human rights
Mr.. Frankson is native of Mime
sofa, whose statutes provide equal
rights for all men. His attitude to the
Negro, so far as property ownership
is concerned is parallel with, and un-
the the circumstances, outrivals the
worse Negro-hater of the Southland.
We have not advised a vote against
him, but pass him up" He will win
anyway, that's why he does not make
amends-but he will carry if elected
blot on his record, placed there by
himself.
REMEMBER THIS MAN.
The Twin City star. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1910-19??, 1916-10-28
A POLITICAL ESTIMATE.

There are 1000 Negro voters III
Minneapolis. Their vote will decide
excepting a few legislative and alder
manic) any candidates fate. Anal
ysis show that every thing will be
close. The Negroes should poll 500
votes. The entire population is about
$4,000. The entire vote is over co.
600, about three fourths will be polled.
1t will be close contest for Hughes
or a Wilson landslide. The Negro is
factor. Mayor Haynes, whom the
Star supported E years ago, was saved
by about. II votes. The National
situation is critical. The campaign is
clean. Votes are not on the market,
therefore, you cannot vote for the
highest bidder, but for your manhood.
That's Hughes"
We publish a complete account OF
the Negro Voters League, not to
boost individuals, but to show the
Caucasian citizen, many who read
The Star, and the loyal as we'll as in
different Negroes, who were not pres
ent; that we mean business, and do
conduct our meetings accordingly.
A few of Mr.. Frankson's friends are
throwing wrenches in The Stars ma
chinery, but like Finnegan, We are
"On agin and gone agin," and have
"just begun to fight.
