LUCKY MINNESOTA
 OWES NOT A CENT
 ON ATHLETIC PLANT
JAMES CACNEY

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 18. With stadium, fieldhouse, golf course and, in fact, the whole ath- letic plant clear of debt, the Uni- versity of Minnesota athletic de- pertinent can find little to feel depressed about.
 Frank Mccormick, who succeeds Fritz Crisler as director of athlet- ics, will start the 1932- 1883 school year, with no necessity for cur tailment of the sport program.
 The $850,000 stadium, construct ed in 1924 as result of a drive conducted by students, alumni and townsfolks, and the $623 900 field house, are both clear and both were huilt without cost to tax payers. The 18-hole golf course, completed last year, is not only one of the best college courses in the country, but is self-support- ing.
 Minnesota's football and basket ball receipts in 3132, when the Gophers had strong entries in each sport, insure carrying forward the usual program with no crimpings in the coming school year. Bas- ketball has become a strong con- tributing factor to the athletic treasury the last two years.

Governor Chas. w. Bryan

In discussing national politics, the
people seem to loose sight of the fact
that the States are ruled by the estate
Rights Bill" that is so inacted into the
constitution that it controls the civic
and economic structure of our nation.
1t is for this reason that the people
should pay more attention to the cleo
ton Of the candidates who are to ad-
minister local and State laws. Gov
ernor Charles w. Bryan, candidate for
reelection on the democratic ticket,
has served this State faithfully and
honestly. He has not failed to cur
tail overhead expenses, reduce taxes,
without jeopardizing the business of
the State. The colored people have
been protected in their civil rights, far
beyond that in any other states. The
election of Gov. Bryan and c. F. Beus-
hansen, Lieut.. Governor will assure a
continuation of the good relation of
the people.

makes an appeal to the colored voters
Omaha could get favors from a Demo-
ct straight this year regardless of the
voters previous political ~affiliation.
Matthews said he asked this because
it was a foregone conclusion that Ne
braska was going to give Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Governor Charles Bryan
overwhelming m~ajorities in the No
vember election and that the only way
Omaha could get favors from a Demo-
cratic President and a Democratic
Governor is to elect Democratic rep
resentatives who will be the only ones
to get favors from democratic admin
istration.
Everybody admits" says Matthews
"that Roosevelt and Bryan are going
to be elected, therefore, it is foolish to
try to send a Republican Congressman
to Washington or republican represen-
tatives to Lincoln.
A Republican request for favors for
Omaha will be ignored by President
Roosevelt said Matthews, but if we
elect Ed Burke our Democratic Candi-
date to Congress, he will be able to
represent Omaha as it should be rep
resented" ED Burke" said Mat
thews "is n of the outstanding men
in Omaha. AS President of the Om-
aha School Board be established an
excellent record and was particularly
interested in seeing that the colored
people got their rights. The way to
thank him for this service is to vote
for him in November.
Matthews says, that every colored
voter in Omaha ought to vote for the
Democratic Candidates for the Senate
and House to give Governor Bryan a
friendly group of law makers and that
if we do this Governor Bryan will give
the State the best administration we
have ever had.
The County Chairman said that Gov
ernor Bryan has been particularly
friendly to the colored voters and he
is the first Governor to ever see to it
that the colored people had their prop
er share of public offices. Now the
only way to show the Governor that
this work is appreciated is to vote for
him and for the Legislative candi-
dates.
Matthews also pleaded for the cleo
Deeds, W. M. and ((Ike Mahoney for
