MIKE HOLM.
Cecil E Newman

High hopes are held for the Scots
boro Boys as U. S. Supreme Court
reviews case. Haiti's refusal of U.
S. treaty has full sympathy of Latin
America. Ex-senator James Reed Is
best remembered as author of bill to
deny readmission to America of ARA
mericans who leave American soil.
The 800 who pilgrimaged to see Hoo
yer has shrunk to $50. The new de-
parture in presidential campaign gives
credence to the claim that the 2,OOO.-
600 border state and northern votes
are needed by the G. o. P. If you
have not heard Edwin c. Hill on the
Literary Digest radio program you
have missed real Is minutes of in
formative, intellect stimulating COM
ment on world happenings. This Hill
fellow has Floyd (Patcheye) Gibbons
backed off the map. FORTUNE MAG
AZINE ($IOO per copy says 60 per
cent or more of the U. S. people have
three or more colds year, necessi-
tating the purchase of 26,000,000 jars
of Vick's Vaporub costing Is million
dollars! The greatest cure for colds
is the bed. Daily newspapers indi-
cate by their treatment of the SUI
preme Court appeal of the Scotsboro
boys that most of them favor the le-
gal lynching of the Scottsboro boys.
Rosco Simmons scared to his usual
oratorfcal heights at the Aframerican
pilgrimage to the Hoover Shrine.
TINE magazine has picture of Ros-
coe in all his oratorical glory on its
first news page, issue October 10.
Negroes of Minnesota don't know
who to vote for in the governorship
race.
It is humanity impossible to agree
with every utteTance of any public
man. Oscar De Priests villification
of Negro Democrats or those who will
vote for that party was trifle too
partisan for man who bolted the Re-
publican party In the Chicago city
elections several years ago, resulting
in the election of VIM. Dever, Dem
ocrat as mayor. Such statements as
ANY Negro who votes the Democra-
tic ticket has lost his self respect"
are too strong. This sort of campaign
speaking may be all right for the Chi
cage, Southside but it was challenge
to intelligence. of Minnesotans.
The one Minnesota office holder
who has consistently seen to it that
members of the group were employed
in his department is Mike Holm, the
best Secretary of State, any state in
the union boasts. Since his first year
in office some member of the Negro
race has been a part of his office
staff This is more than many more
of the candidates who will seek your
votes for office can say. Mike Holm
deserves the thorough consideration
of every intelligent Negro voter.
Money is scarce" former dodge
phrase of campaign managers, is no
dodge this year. With the Democra-
tic national committee low in cash
things are not so good in communities
to the east and south of us where
citizens take their politics so seriously
that they demand dollars for votes.
The cry of mo money" is heard as
well in G. o. P. circles. Despite the
, fact that that party is supposed to be
the beneficiary of. Wall ST., its treas
ury is low, also.
The strange spectacle of a Mime
apolis Democratic group boosting the
Farmer-Labor candidate for for gov
ernor. Party lines stretch in every
direction in Minnesota.
