SPEED THE BABY CONTEST

The Women's Auxiliary of the Min
neapolis branch Of the N. A. A. C. p.
was called in special session by the
President, Mrs. Fannie M. Shanks.
The meeting gathered at Phyllis
Wheatley at P. M, Wednesday,
April 81. The object of the meeting
was to speed the plans for the Baby
Contest. This year the women are out
to establish record that shall dis
place the successful outcome Of last
years race. It is desired to enter
fifty babies. Reports from the COM
mittee in charge of entries disclosed
large part of this number already
secured The contest this year will
be conducted under the newly formed
Women's Auxiliary Of the local
branch. The enthusiasm of the
women promises glorious race. 1t
promises also to separate the men
from all their small change. "The
National Office" says Mrs. Shanks,
points out that not baby has ever
refused to help. 1t is my earnest hope
that the example of the babies will be
followed by the mothers of the babies
and by the public as well. We want
to make Minneapolis the outstanding
city of the country in it's conduct OF
this years contest"

LIE Sueur, Mimi The mysterious
death of Otto Green, reputed to be
the wealthiest colored farmer in this
section of the country last week has
left this small and bustling town in
an uproar. Mr.. Green was found
dead, apparently suicide Wednesday,
April Is, on his large farm a few
miles out of this city. No cause or
reason could be advanced by his rela-
tives or friends for his act He had
no financial worries as his large prop
erty holdings were in good condition
and his bank balance was over two
thousand dollars. On his farm ready
for the May markets were over fifteen
hundred dollars worth of live stock.
The populace of this town are di-
vided on the suicide verdict of the
coroner, some contending that Green
was murdered and the rest holding to
he suicide version. Mr.. Green and
his brother have for years been the
>nly colored people in the community.
He was we'll liked by every one and
highly respected and apparently had
no enemies. He is survived by his
brothers, Fred, Christopher, Abe, John
and Hall, all of LIE Sueur and Henry
Green of Minneapolis. His death and

THE POLITICAL POT

The political pot in Minneapolis
S boiling over, every group has some
fish to fry. We are pretty good cooks
ourselves when we can get together.
Does your alderman ever visit you
and ascertain your community wants
at any other time besides around cleo
ton time?
The trouble with a great many of
us self-satisfed Minnesota folks,
transplanted and native, is that we
are great folks to say what can't be
done, very seldom concentrating on
what must be done and can be done.
A first class and active colored
business mems organization with a
definite program is what we must
have in Minneapolis.
There are five candidates for the
office of mayor of Minneapolis. The
colored voters are unacquainted with
m ost of them. The incumbent,
George E. Leach, is, of course, known
to the Colored voter. The other can
didates: Fred Ossanna, o. J. Turner,
Harry Lund and Fred D. Mcmillan
are comparatively unknown to our
group.
Who they are, what they stand for
is what the Herald will attempt to
find out and broadcast to you in the
succeeding issues before the primary
elections.
Candidates for aldermen are nu-
merous, colored ballot casters should
scan carefully the records of candi-
dates. Especially in the second,
third and thirteenth wards. Home
owners and people purchasing homes
should get behind candidates that are
qualified to represent all of the peo-
pie. There are streets and pavements
in some of the semi-colored settle
ments that are a disgrace to Min
neapolis. Watch the Herald for the
real campaign dope!
One Colored Man is in the alder
manic race, S. w. Neal, 1877 Fifth
street South, is again candidate
for alderman of the sixth ward. Mr..
Neal was an unsuccessful candidate
last election Good luck, Mr.. Neal!
Rev. Roy L. Smith should make a
good school board member. His 'Fire-
side Philosophy" must come from the
heart of man free of prejudices.
He is one candidate we recommend
without microscopic inspection.

items as placards strategically posted
various forms of advertising, use of
publications, distribution of instruc-
tive literature, visits to homes of boys
and girls and talks with parents.
Recent advices inform that it is
planned in the city of Washington,
D. c., that all the street cars shall
AIRY banners bearing slogans of the
campaign.
The State Directors working in CO.
operation with the chapters are MAX
ing index records of the high school
students. With these records it is
planned to follow the progress of each
student to the completion of his or her
college course. The fraternity will
thus keep in touch with each and be
intelligent at all times when and low
to lend aid or encouragement.
Very detailed work is being done in
the rural districts of the Southland as
well as the congested commercial and
industrial centers of the North.
Some of the chapters are holding
essay prize contests and the winners
of these will be awarded such prizes
as paid tuition in colleges and uni
versities of accredited standing.
Scholarships are to be given in an eff
fort to stimulate interest in educa-
ton.
1t is interesting to note that many
of our boys and girls have won these
prizes in years past and today there
are hundreds of them in higher insti-
buttons of learning who are there be-
cause of the efforts of Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity.

LOCAL BRANCH
SUBMITS REPORT
MINNEAPOLIS BRANCH
N. A. A. C. p.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Minneapolis Branch of N. A. A. C. p.
was held at the Bethesda Baptist
Church last Sunday afternoon. A
comprehensive review Of the work of
the local branch and work yet to be
done was made by the president,
touching also on some of the things
done by the National Office by which
the race as whole will profit. The
most interesting report came from
Miss w. Gertrude Brown of the Phyl-
is Wheatley House, reviewing step by
step the case of the State VS.. Hall.
This case was carried to its success
full termination through the efforts of
Miss Brown, backed by the financial
support of the Twin Cities branches
of the N. A. A. C. p, and the moral
support of the people of both cities.
Through this case the court has said
to those of the South who would vio-
late our young women, you cannot do
this thing in Minnesota and get away
with it. The result of this case is
not measured by the cost, but by the
protection thrown around the young
womanhood of our race. To success
fully prosecute this case it was not
only necessary for Miss Brown to go
to the home of the girl, but to bring
an aunt back with her as a witness,
as no affidavit would be procured in
Atlanta for a colored girl where a
white man was involved. The fol-
lowing is an itemized expense ac-
count of the trip exclusive of meals
and lodging and other incidentals:
Car fare from Chicago to Atlanta,
Ca, and return $50, paid jointly by
the N. A. A. C. p of both cities, auto
hire from Atlanta to Fayetteville, a
distance of II miles, two trips, $40,
car fare for Mrs. Smith, the girls
aunt, from Chicago to Minneapolis,
$14.56, Mrs. Smiths return from Min
neapolis to Fayetteville, $41.74, three
kilograms at $1.OS, 1924, total $89.54.
Note that no car fare was paid
for Miss Brown from Minneapolis to
Chicago and return, as she was com
PEELED to 80 there in the interest of
her work. Also the return ticket
from Atlanta to Chicago, was ex-
changed for two charity tickets,
bringing both Miss Brown and Mrs.
Smith as far as Chicago, for the
price of the one first class ticket held
by Miss Brown. Miss Brown has
paid the $89.54, out of her own pock-
ct. This amount the Minneapolis and
st. Paul branches through executive
committee have agreed to refund. The
Minneapolis branch Sunday raised
about half of it's portion.
In order that the men of the town
who seldom attend our public meet
ings may have a chance to contribute
to this worthy cause, contributions
may be left with J. E. Stewart, at
the Stewart Smoke Shop, 248 3rd
Ave. S., or with Hamlet B. Rowe, at
the pool hall, at $50 Sixth Ave. N.

FORUM PROGRAM

The Minneapolis Sunday Forum in
its program of May LIST, at Phyllis

ing picture of the development of our

NAKED by the address of Mr.. Regi-
Maid Johnson, senior in the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.

Gus consideration which awakens in
the hearers not sense af amuse-
ment alone, but sets the heart abeat-
ing with keen pleasure and pride.

interesting programs for this sea-
sons Forum. Perhaps none show
forth more fully than this one of
May 1, the real intent of the Forum
service, the advancement of our
young people and none have more
clearly shown the reason for the con-
tinuing interest in the Forum which
has lived through the years and made
it the best beloved of Minneapolis
organizations. With the relatives

those who will enjoy an impassioned
race appeal Phyllis Wheatiey on Sun

commodations. Come early is our
advice.
