RECORD OF JOHN .
WACENERSTANDS,
JUSTICE FOR ALL
No Introduction Necessary to
Pioneers of Race as to Fair
Treatment.
Absolutely Impartial
Employment, Charity and Good
Will Marks His Career
to Race.

The present contest for the elec-
torate Office of the sheriff of Ramsey
County draws toward the last cpl
sode, and is in fact almost as dramat-
ic as our old time theatricals.
The incumbent Sheriff John Wag-
ener has been in this office for num-
Der of years and the matter of con-
Quoting his Office is we'll known to
most of us, especially all of the pio-
neers of this City are familiar with
his methods, and a great deal of the
new citizens as well, but to those that
are not familiar with him it would be
well to advise them so that no mis-
take be made in their selection they
make for sheriff.
Unjustly Attacked.
Mr.. Wagner has been unjustly at
tackled in the Daily News and also by
his adversary. He is a man who has
been absolutely impartial as far as
our group has been concerned. He
has been the owner of the property in
common with the balance of his rel
atives at McCarron's Lake for years
and those of you who have been
there to fish or to go bathing have
never been refused the privileges af-
forded by the surrounding shores.
There are plenty of places that the
people of the group are subject to
circumstances that are not only lille
gal, but also unfair, but in all justice
to man who has placed himself be-
fore the public for election to Office
the better policy is to inquire as to
whether he has benefited our group
or not and the only way that we feel
benefit is in the financial assistance
that he gives our people through en-
ployment. This he has done and the
fact is known to every person who
has had personal contact with him or
his office and is we'll known to others

FACTS EXPOSED IN
INVESTMENT COMPANY

In a late issue of the st. Paul
Echo, there appeared an article to
the effect that:
Investment Company of Local Men
Ends Career"
The Eureka Investment Compa-
ny, an organization started May Is,
by group of local business men,
was disbanded at meeting Tuesday,
Sept. 21, according to o. ]. Smith,
attorney for the company. Unfair
and unjustifiable taxation was given
by Mr.. Smith as the cause of the
breakup. C. H. Mcdonald was pres
ident of the organization and E. o.
Pearce was secretary"
We, the following undersigned
members of said Eureka Investment
Company, wish to correct that article
and therefore make the following
statement:
During the month of July, 1926, at
a meeting of the Eureka Investment
Company, it was decided that we
should incorporate and the money
for incorporation was turned over to
Attorney o. J. Smith for that pur-
pose.
The treasurer, Mr.. o. ]. Smith, re-
ported that the papers were filed.
After having been told repeatedly by
Mr.. Smith that they had been filed,
but finding no evidence of the same,
we investigated and learned that the
papers of incorporation had never
been filed. We next sought to OBJ
tain the money which we had paid
in as dues in addition to the money
given to our treasurer, Mr.. o. ].
Smith for the Incorporation of the
organization. When We demanded
our money from him, he wrote a
check to each of us for our share,
checks drawn on the Exchange Ma
tional Bank. But when we went to
cash these checks the bank returned
them stating that Mr.. o. j. Smith
had no account there. We next went
to the County Attorney who demand
ed the return of the money and it
was not until then that the money
was returned.
That is why we decided to disband.
Signed,
C. H. MCDONALD,
E. o. PEARCE,
S. ]. SYDES,
JAMES WILLIAMS,
G. H. COLEMAN.

MIKE KINKEAD FOR
COUNTY ATTORNEY
Has Served in Office and Is Grad
uate of st. Paul College
of Law.

He has proven to our people that
he will always be fair. Mr.. Kinkead,
in his various talks over the city in
this campaign, has shown without a
doubt, his worthiness for the Office
Of County Attorney. He is a thor
oughly capable man, very able law
yer, is aggressively fearless where
the action demands and yet is SYM
pathetic, with a heart as large as
Big Mike himself.
Many of Mr.. Kinkead's supporters
refer to Mr.. Kinkead as the Abraham
Lincoln of st. Paul, for not only is he
like that great Liberator in stature
an general appearance, but he has
the same wonderful qualities. the
kind heart, the deep understanding
and the same fearlessness of public
opinion in carrying out what he
knows to be fair and right. His con-
test for election to serve the people
has met with many obstacles placed
in his path by those cliques or indi-
viduals who know that they never
can control the County Attorneys Of
fee with Kinkead as the chief. Mr..
Kinkead has stated many times in
his talks that he does not want to
see the murders and gang fights in
st. Paul that Chicago is now cursed
with and that he pledges all, regard
less of class or race, color or creed,
every protection afforded by the laws
of this county, state and nation.
Mr.. Kinkead is a very humane
man. AS he stated recently in a
speech, he came from a country
where good people were prosecuted
and he understood the uphill fight
that our people many times have to
contend with and his sympathies are
with them and, whether elected
County Attorney or not, he asks to be
placed on record as always in accord
with their splendid work.

Sparks From

On account of the wide scope
