TO THE C0L0RED PEOPLE
OF THIS COUNTY

i have seen In the columns of the
county paper great drive planned
for Better Road Day" Dec. s. 1t
appears that the writer's realize that
the first need of any successful dis
trict is better roads There must be
highways over which to carry goods
and produce that the merchant and
farmer handles.
We coloied people. as well as the
whites, have commen interest In
the roads, especially, In each indi-
vidual district, and all should meet
on the date appointed and act togeth-
er to make and maintain the best
road possible.
/ have made this rule: when my
white leaders, in my community ofer
a suggestion for the public need,
never refuse In lending helping
hand.
! do not think any member Of my
race will make the faintest mistake
in cooperating with this movement.
We teachers and trustees should
not hesitate in making efforts to orr
ganlze our people for Dec. 8.
l have already gotten the promise
OF my patrons. We are planning to
vacate school and answer those dis
tinguished mems call with uules,
shovels, hoes and men.

NOBODY PICKED BY
LABOR FOR PRIMARIES
Candidates.-Committee Delegated
AS Final Board OF Control

Helena.-No Endorsement and no
elimination of candidates arrayed in
the primary contests 50 far as imme-
date political action is concerned was
the net result of the final session of
the executive committee elected at the
conference for progressive political
action. eliminating two days of pro-
gressive pow-wowing among the groups
of railway orotherhoods, Nonpartisan
league and labor organizations.
After all of the meetings of the vari-
Gus groups and several joint confer
ences, the executive committee of five
consisting of G. H. Young, Billings.
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, chair
man,; Robert Condor, United Mine
Workers, vice-chairman; G. A. Bolton,
Alberton. Order of Railway Conduc-
tors; E. III. Manson, Helena, secretary
of State Federation of Labor, and r. A..
Haste, Billings, Nonpartisan League,
secretary. was delegated as the final
board of control and strategy.
To indorse or not to indorse was in
the power of this executive five and
the Withholding of expressed prefer
ence of candidates was the decision of
prolonged deliberation, according to
the statement of Secretary Haste, who
was selected to direct the activities of
the organization.
The decision not to indorse. however,
it was clear, is not to be accepted as
Indication of a hands-off-policy. as it
is understood that the records of at
least the congressional and judicial
candidates were fairly well defined
and the discretion of voters believing
in the creed of the conference will be
relied on in picking nominees for the
November struggle.
