GEORGE BURNHAIM
GIVES TALK FOR
WOMEN OF CITY

Speaking before large and en-
thusiastic group of representative
Ell Centre women, George Burn
ham, Republican candidate for con-
gress. expressed his stand on ma
tional and local questions at the
meeting held yesterday afternoon
at els State street.
In discussing his publications for
office, Burnham spoke of his ex-
perience as a banker and business
man and of his vast knowledge OF
Imperial Valley where he has super
vised ranching for a number OF
years. He stated that he felt his
experience as a banker was an as
set to him since the gravest prob
lens to come before congress will
be those on financial matters and
on which his banking experience
will be valuable aid.
In addition to his business ex-
perience, Burnham has been con-
nected with number of civic en-
terprises and he has also the keen
est appreciation of labor's prob
lens. since at IA years of age he
was forced to leave school and work
long hours as a laborer, wedding
onions and shoveling snow. His
early experience as small farmer,
a storekeeper, were briefly men
toned to show his varied interests.
In connection with local interests
he stated that as early as 1915 he
had advocated building of the ALL
Amrican canal, and that he felt its
immediate construction would be
desirable in these times.
In his discussion of the tariff,
Burnham spoke of its effect on the
citrus industries of Southern Cali
fornia, the cattlemen and on the
pea growers in Imperial Valley, adj
vocating maintenance of a tariff
to protect these industries.

$4,000 SAVED
ON MEMORIAL TO
JOHN ESHLEMAN

The University of California to-
DAY augmented its 100000 budget
cut in the interests of the tax
payer by a further return of $19,-
500.28 to the state treasury.
State Controller Ray L. Riley
and State Treasurer Charles G..
johnson were apprised of this con-
tribution to the states economy
program in letters sent by the IN
iyersity Comptroller Luther A.
Nichols.
While the $500 900 budget cut &C
knowledged by State Director of
Finance ROLAND Vandegrift a few
weeks ago represents a decrease
in funds to be supplied by the
state during the remainder of the
fiscal year. the additional cut of
SIS, 500.l8 is chiefly a return of
money already paid by the state.
Comptroller Luther Nichols states
that this sum of almost $4,000
represents saving by the univer-
sity from special legislative APP
preparation of $l25,00O made in
1929, for the purpose of erecting a
publications building on the Ber-
kelley campus as memorial to
John M. Eshleman, founder of
the state railroad commission.
The appropriation was contin-
gent upon the university securing
another SIPS, 900 from private sources
and erecting a building to cost ap-
proximately S250,000. A gift for
the additional $l25,000 was OBJ
tanned, and construction started.
Expenditures for the building,
by economical planning was limit
ed to $210.99944, or $105, AGO. 81
from the state and an equal
amount from the private dona-
ton. The state had already sup
piled $l18,97056; so in his letter
announcing the saving, Comptrol-
Ter Nichols included a check for
Sl3,470.84 and a notice that the
remaining $6,02944 of the original
appropriation will be allowed to
the state.

GREATEST NEGRO POLITICAL REVOLT
Predicted by y. A. A. c. p. Secretary
Walter White Addresses Indiana State y. A. A. c. p. and
Assails Senator Watson.
Continued from Page ID


Where the margin is close the Negro as a minority group
can use his ballot most effectively and this the Negro is
rapidly learning.
Mr.. White severely scored Senator James E. Wat
son Of Indiana for his vote in the Senate in favor of con-
firming the Parker nomination.
"For the past two years" said Mr.. White, "apolo-
gists for Senator Watson have busiIy been telling Negroes
that he did not want to vote for Parker and did SO only by
reason Of the pressure upon him as majority leader in the
Senate exerted by the White House. Senator Watson
chose to follow the President rather than to stand up for
his Negro constituents. The best case his friends can
make out for him is that he was weak in submitting to
political pressure. He must now take the political con-
sequences.
The Negro in Indiana, as elsewhere throughout
the United States, is now for the first time in a position
where all parties are angling for his support. He realizes
that in the dark days Of the present and the dark and dan
gerous days Of the future, there are issues at stake which
transcend the petty interests Of professional politicians
Of his own or Of the white race. This is no time for the
Negro to forgive and forget such betrayal as that of
Senator Watson.
"The Negro in America today is literally fighting
for his life. He is fighting for q chance to work, to be a
full-fedged citizen with all the rights the Constitution
guarantees. He is ready to play the game Of politics as
white men have taught him through long years Of bitter
education to play it. He can no longer be counted upon
as the chattelo Of any political party and it is my prediction,
based on Information which comes to the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement D fColored People from all
parts Of the United States, that the era Of the Negroes new
political independence viii be plainly established in the
coming national election.

John T. Dysart, candidate for Dis
triet Judge. has had a varied exper
fence that peculiarly fits him for that
position.
Mr.. Dysart was raised on a farm of
$40 acres, on which was conducted a
dairy, and later made his way through
school by sowing wheat in the fall.
and harvesting and resolving it dur
ing the next vacation
Mr.. Dysart was graduated from
the University Of Nebraska Law
School, and that same fall was nomi-
mated and elected County Judge of his
own county.
His youth, and the responsibility Of
the office attracted much atten-
ton. He was reelected for the
second term, and later elected for
a second term, and elected County
Attorney, and during this time lived
in . town Of about one thousand in
habitants.
Mr.. Dysart moved to Omaha in
1909, and has been in the general
practice Of law there ever since.
He was honored by being elected
President of the Omaha Bar Associa-
ton in 1922.
Mr. Dysart's experience on the farm
IN town, and city. gives him an equal
understanding Of the problems Of the
people Of this district, which in con-
n%ection with his even and judicial tenn
narament insures that the people of
all occupations, and their rights will
be given the same careful. courteous,
and conscientious consideration.
Mr.. Dysart has received the en-
dorsement Of the Bar Of Douglas,
WASHINGTON and Burt Counties as
one to be elected District Judge. and
We believe merits your vote.
