said the American people are almost
entirely free from prejudice or intol-
erance. May we not remind these
Klansmen that the Negro has ad-
vanced farther during the years that
have elapsed since the first slave car
go was discharged upon the soil of
Virginia in 1920 than any other race
in all the history of man? Is 1t nee
essary to recall that high on the Bos-
ton massacre monument erected to
the memory of the first martyrs is
the name of a Negro? Shall we de-
scribe again the charge of the Amer
ican Negro soldiers on the hills of
Ell Caney? Shall we recount to you
their gallantry and sacrifice in France
and Belgium? Is it necessary to
read again the statistics that show
less crime committed by them than
by any other class OF our citizen
ship?"
Again and again Mr.. Lawler spoke
Of our loyalty; he has proven to be
a true friend to our race here in st.
Paul where he has often spoken on
different programs and he has al.
ways taken a keen interest in matters
pertaining to our betterment both
socially and economically.

Mr.. Lawler stated that abolition Of
Supreme Court powers to set aside
as unconstitutional a law made by
Congress as proposed by the Farmer
Labor party in Minnesota and the
La Toilette national party is a change
of such importance that 1t should rise
above party prejudices.
Every candidate for election to
Congress or to a state legislature
should declare himself one way or
another on this question. There can
be no sidestepping on a matter Of
such importance. II such an amend
ment to the Constitution is not be-
lieved capable of passing in the final
analysis by vote Of the people, 1t
should never be allowed to come be-
fore Congress nor be considered by
the people as worthy of being the
determining factor in q presidential

Votres Ur9de To Elect
Laurence Erickson,

AS the day Of election draws near,
Minneapolis voters are urged to elect
Lawrence Erickson, candidate for
clerk Of Hennepin county. The pres
ent clerk has without denial kept all
of the fees named in the federal law,
except the one-half due the Federal
Government, and converted them to
his own personal use. This averages
approximately $4,000 per year, thus
increasing his own salary to approx
imately $500 per year, amounting
to possibly $4,000 extra salary dur
ing his four-year term, and in addi-
tion to this he has drawn from the
county funds the salaries for the
clerks on this work, amounting pos
sibly, according to his own acknowl-
edgement. to $4,000 per year, thus
the total cost during the past four
years apprcximates $20,000.00.
The clerk of court Of Hennepin
county holds his Office under the
state statutes and his first duty Is to
comply with these statutes.
Correct the present system; elect
a clerk who will conduct the office
to comply with the law. Vote for
Lawrence Erickson, who also en-
phatically denies the report that he
is q member. Of the Ku Klux Khan,
which has been circulatsd by some Of
his enemies.

TOTAL S605,546.
While Workers Fail to Reach
Goal of $3.50, 900 Result Is
Considered Victory.

Closing the most successful cam
paign since the Chest was establish
ed, workers in the Community Chest
armies Tuesday night reported sub
scriptions that brought the campaign
total up to s605,546.
Though the workers did not reach
the goal of $650.0O0, leaders regard
ed the result as a victory. The
amount reported exceeds all previous
totals.
More Subscriptions Expected.
F. r. Bigelow, president of the
Community Chest, said that addi-

pected from men who are out of the
city will bring in $1,000 more. When
all returns are in, campaign leaders

Mr.. Bigelow pointed out that the
collections on last years pledges had
been better than expected the past
month. Accordingly, the Chest will
start the new year probably with
something like $615,000, and no
deficit. Last year the agencies had
TO get along with a total of $595, 900
and started the year with deficit of
$4,000, which necessitated the aban-
donment Of some work.
What adjustment will be necessary
in the budgets of the fifty-two agen-
cies in the Chest to meet the situa-

the Chest, could not say. The budgets
were made out on the basis of a
total subscription of s650,0O0.

WHY / SHALL VOTE THE
PROGRESSIVE TICKET

Because l believe in the Progressive
principals.
Because the progressive party hat
adopted the policies laid down by
Lincoln.
Because the progressive party il
opposed to war.
The progressive movement is moi
new to me; on the other hand it Is
a life dream of mine. At the age OF
seven, in the days of torch light pro
| cessions, l began to notice how the
people were divided politically One
family of men folk would go to a
republican rally, with torch held
high above their heads in one hand
and little brown jug in the other.
In a few days their neighbors would
go to democratic rally in the Same
manner.
/ could not understand why they
were so badly divided, when their. in
terests were identical.
1 read the fable the old school
book about the bundle, of sticks"
My mother read to me from the Bible
the words "a house divided against
itself cannot stand" and / began to
investigate and / find that day by
day conditions have grown worse,
with one half of the people fighting
the other half.
The Progressive Party's slogan is
united we stand, divided we fall" /
believe the Progressive Party is des-
tined to bring the people of the en-
tire universe together as it is made
up of people of all walks of life, of
all parties, creeds and denominations.
l believe the progressive party will
not only unite the people politically,
but will also christianize them as
well, and through the power and
of the universal God and
will abolish all wars, and
instead of hiring professional men to
teach your Boy Scouts to carry on
war, and to shoot and kill people,
hire a Christian man to teach them
The ten commandments. Especially
he one "Th0u shalt not KILL" and |
soon it will be the young generation |
Will know nothing about war, and |
hen it can truly be said "Peace on |
Garth, good will toward men"
Now there is a duty for each and
very citizen to perform at the forth
Oming election and that is to get out
nd vote To neglect to cast your vote
you'd in my opinion be an unpardon-
bic crime, for this country has drift
d in to such a deplorable state
that it is absolutely
ecessary to register the will of the
eople by a popular vote.
