To Negroes, His
Supporters Claim
CITES CAMBRIDGE BIRTH OF A
NATION" EPISODE

From Anderson headquarters We'd
nesday came statement which re-
vived the old Birth of Nation" con-
troversy. The entire statement is
sued by the Volunteer Committee is
as follows:
Because of a Whispering Cam
paign' designed to paint Mayor Will
liam A. Anderson as unfriendly to the
Negro race, court records were pro-
duced this week to show that the may
or's opponent, A. G. Buzz cambridge
and not the mayor-sought for and
permitted the showing of The Birth
of Nation film widely known as
an inspiration to race prejudice.
"On the other hand, the mayor did
all in his power to prevent the show
ing of this film in 1881, and was
blocked by a federal court order, re-,
straining him and Chief of Police Will
liam J. Meehan from interfering with
the show.
Records of Hennepin county dis
trict court and the Federal district
court show that cambridge brought
this film to Minneapolis for the first
time in 1915. At that time Mayor
Wallace G. Nye and Oscar Martin
son, chief of police, tried to prevent
its showing. cambridge, now the
mayors opponent, sought a restrain
ing order in the state court and this
was denied. He later obtained the
order from the federal court.
"In 1881, one Glenn l. Terry brought
the film to the Bijou theater and the
mayor, through Chief Meehan, ordered
him not to show it. Terry went
ahead, and as the show opened, served
a restraining order on Meehan. This
order also was granted by the fed
eral court, and neither the mayor nor
the chief could act until after hear
ing was held However, Judge Gunnar
H. Nordbye set this hearing for Sept.
9, 1881. and by this time the film had
been shown. It's run was over"

DANCE is SUCCESS

: Despite the hot weather good
crowd attended the charity ball given
by the Twin City Town Criers held
at the spacious Coliseum Ballroom last
Monday night. Members of the Cab
Galloway unit were present.
Frank Cotier's orchestra furnished
the music. The orchestra is a white
group. Speculation as to why the
Town Criers used this band was an
swered by member of the committee
who exhibited proof to show that no
effort was spared to obtain the SER
vices of a colored orchestra. The rec
, ognized bands approached pleaded
previous engagements or that they
could not get their bands together for
that night. Because of that fact the
services of the Cotier band which is
competent and broadcasts nightly
were secured. The public seemed to
lenjoy the change.

SMITH GIVES REASONS FOR HIS
SUPPORT OF ANDERSON

Editor:
Those who favor Mr.. cambridge for
mayor and the new deal which he
promises are entitled to their pref
erence. / am, however, unable to see
the possibilities in the new deal, nor
can find satisfying reason why my
group hopes to find in Mr.. cambridge
one to promote its interest in larger
measure than Mr.. Anderson has done.
In the matter of patronage, if
elected Mr.. Bainbridge-will appoint
chief of police, a private secretary
and member of the Civil Service
Commission Attic head Of the police
force, the mayor. any mayor, Ander-
son or cambridge cannot place a
single man upon it. AS member of
several important committees, the
mayor has opportunity to advise with
others and thus help to determine the
course of government. A streng man
will exert valuable influence in this
connection as Mr.. Andersen has done
in the past crucial two years. There

cambridge Manager
Answers Pamphlet
Attack On ''Buzz''
CAMPAIGN MANAGER SAYS
MANY FACTS NOT TOLD
BY CIRCULAR

mayor Anderson had to dig back
in the records of 18 or 10 years ago
and resurrect the old Birth of Ma
ton fight for campaign material, and
he failed to state the full facts in this
case," O. B. Erickson, chairman of the
Bainbridge-for- Mayor Volunteer COM
mittee, said today when he learned of
circulars being distributed in the in
terests of the mayor.
Anderson and his crowd will not
stop at anything to win vote or
two," Erickson said. "And if anyone
who knows the true facts will read
that Birth of Nation circular, he'll
not have any trouble seeing that many
of the facts in the case have been
eliminated.
"Mr. cambridge was the manager
of the Shubert theater, working for
the Shuberts in the east. The Shu-
berts held the lease. cambridge made
contract to rent his theater to FL
lott and Sherman for the showing
of that picture, and of course, when
Mayor Nye threatened to revoke the
theater license if the picture was
shown, cambridge did the only thing
open to him. He tried to prevent re-
vocation of his license, just as any
other theater manager would have
done.
He didn't care particularly to show
that picture, or to show any other
picture or attraction. But he did not
wish his theater to be closed by the
mayor. He was simply manager
who had rented his theater to an out
slider and he was trying to protect
his house and his business. Pm sure
when these facts are known, no one
will believe that cambridge had any
other connection with the showing of
that film in Minneapolis"
