GEORGE E.LEAcH
STATE CANDIDATE
FIGHTS FOR RACE
Combats Ku Klux Klan in Face
of Tremendous Political
Opposition.

The people of our race do not al
ways enjoy the knowledge of having
a man in office who is fair. We know
that George Leach is fighter for our
people. In the face of tremendous
political opposition he has combated
the Ku Klux Klan. Thus while Mayor
of Minneapolis, a city which is pre-
dominately protestant. Leach does
not believe in bringing religion up as
an issue in a political campaign, and
is not doing so at this time. We,
however, who know how he fought
for religious freedom against the
atrocious workings of the Khan, ap-
preciate what he has done. We want
a man of his caliber for governor.
Leach for Governor Headquarters,
opened up in the Ryan Hotel recent
ly, are real optimistic as to the re-
suits of the primary election. Mr..
H. B. Klaus is in charge of the Ram
sey County Campaign. Mr.. Klaus.
speaking to group of campaign
workers yesterday, in explanation of
this optimism, said in part: There
are several reasons why we should be
confident of the results of the pri-
mary election June 16. First, we
know that Geo. E. Leach has made
a wonderful record as Mayor of the
City of Minneapolis. At the last city
election he received the largest ma
jority ever given candidate for that
office. He carried every labor ward
in the city except one. Surely, it Is
an evidence of fairness and ability
on his part that he was Endorsed by
labor, by business men and ex-service
men. His efforts on behalf of starv-
ing German children has also won
him much praise. There is no Ques-
ton of the fact that war veterans
generally are behind his candidacy.
Reports from all over the state prove
this" A big st. Paul demonstration
is in store for him on Friday Of this
week. Mayor Leach will be met on
University avenue at the city limits
by delegates representing practically
every district in the state. Two drum
corps and band will join the pro-
cession at Rice and University and he
will be escorted to the Marquette
room of the Ryan Hotel, where an in
formal reception will be held. Col
Leach will address the meeting after
Gerald v. Barron, part state conf
mander Of the American Legion, has
given his Endorsement. Another rea-
son for optimism in Ramsey County
is the fact that Leach has good rec
ord with labor and ex-service men.
These two elements will go long
way toward nominating the standard
bearers on June 18th.

Telephone Victim.

Telephone Victim.
| Mrs. Mason was engaged in the
family washing when she received a
telephone call from a man asking il
her husband was at home. Replying
in the negative. the party at the 9TH
er end of the line hung up without
revealing his identity. Somewhat
perplexed. Mrs. Mason decided to call
her husband. who had gone to visit
a Mr.. Hawkins on the North Side.
She asked him to hurry home, as she
had received a mysterious phone call.
Before she had time to get away from
the phone Mrs. Mason heard foot
steps in the house. She ran out into
the yard. telling a neighbor, Mrs.
Arthur Burns, $685. Columbus ave-
nue.. that there was a man in her
house and asked her IL she would no.
tify the police. In the midst of the
conversation the man whom Mrs. Ma
son recognized as John Robinson ap-
preached her, saying: Come here,
Mary. l want to talk to you. Don't
be afraid" Mrs. Mason said: 60
away, John, and don't bother me-"
She then turned her back and con-
tinued the conversation Angered
evidently by her refusal to talk to
him, he pulled out the revolver. firing
three times. Death was instantane-
Gus. Seeing a neighbor rush to Mrs.
Mason as she fell to the ground,
Robinson again pulled the trigger.
Only the fact that the revolver con-
tanned three bullets probably pre-
vented Robinson from running amuck
and killing those who had come to
her assistance.
Murderer Escapes. =
During the excitement that ensued,
Robinson made his getaway through
the alley. Reaching Chicago avenue,
he hailed a passing bread wagon. rec
ognizing the driver as one who made
daily deliveries to his restaurant.
Robinson told him he was going to
st. Paul and asked to be driven as far
as Lake street. The driver consent
ed. not knowing until afterward that
Robinson was the perpetrator of such
dastardly crime. In making his
daily trip to Robinson's Cafe later in
the day. the driver was informed that
a murder had been committed by
Robinson. The driver then told how
he had driven him as far as Lake
street. Police arrived on the scene
and a general description of the mur-
derer was given. Up to the present
time he has not yet been appre-
hended.
On the day Of the murder. Robin
son was on duty at The Curtis Hotel.
Shortly before 10 o'clock he COM
planned Of being i'll and supposedly
left for his home. The excuse was
merely subterfuge. for, according to
the time Of the crime. Robinson must
have gone direct to the Mason home.
