that movement as the basis for a new

which Vladeck Gays v tookplace
indicated that the Forward" was
pouring money into the Progressive
campaign in WISCONSIN and that the
national party contemplated was to
name President Roosevelt as its ppre-
sidential nominee in 1886 if he would
desert the Democrats. If Roosevelt
declined, the report stated, the nomin'
alton would then be offered to Robert
LaFollette.
"There is not a word of truth in

kEBRASKA'S LIVESTOCK
IN VOTERS HANDS

If funds are made available through
the adoption of the proposed parimu
tuel horse racing amendment to be
voted on in November, the open breed
CLASSES live stock competition will
again be a feature Of the annual Ak
Sar-Ben live stock and horse show,
w. H. Schellberg, PRECEDENT, announc-
ed this week.
eve were compelled through lack
of finances" Schellberg said, "to limit
our annual show last year to All Club
and car lot competition and the same
holds true again this year. 1t was
found imfksible to raise sufficient
funds to continue the competition in
the open breed classes which meant
Sc much to all farmers and cattle
raisers.
However, if the racing amendment
is approved BY the people the neces-
sary money will be available to revive
this important feature of the annual
show with the result that additional
thousands(of dollars in prizes will be
distributed to winners in this classif-
cation"
SchellbergJ said that reports he had
received from many sections of the
state indicated that farmers and stock
raisers are particularly interested in
the return of legalized racing because
of the impetus it would give to their
business along with horse-breeding.
The fact that Ak-Sar-Ben proposes
to share its receipts with all of the
fair in the state shows that
direct aid would go to every section,
said.

N.A.A.C.P. Says Defeat
Pro- Parker Senators

NEW YORK-Any idea that the
NAACP has given up the fight agan,t
the senator's who in May, 1880, voted
for the confirmation to the United
States supreme court of Judge John
}. Parker was dispelled this week bv
the appearance of an editorial in the
November issue Of "The Crisis" just
out.
The editorial is a reprint Of one
carried in July, 1880 issue Of the mans
zine and is preceded ~ this editors
note:
we are reprinting below a sec.
ton of the editorial entitled"The
Fight" from The Crisis Of .Julv
1880, because it states precisely
the attitude of the N. "A. A. q
p in the election of1934 toward
those senators who in May. 1880.
voted for the confirmation of John
j. Parker and against the welfare
and citizenship of every Negro in
the United States !.
The editorial says in part:
1T was a fine fight, but we
all know that it was only a begin
ming. BY itself and left to be for
gotten it will amount to little.
1t must be followed up by the un
flinching determination of Negroes
to defeat the senators who defied
their vote and supported Parker.
Nothing ellie viii convince the
United States that our gesture was
not mere braggadocio and bluff.
The following senator's voted for
Parker and are running for reelection
on November 6: Hamilton F. Kean,
New Jersey; Friedrich G. Walcott, Con
necticutt; David A. Reed, Pennsylvania
Henry D. Hatfield, West Virginia
Simeon D. Fess, Ohio; and Roscoe C.
Patterson, Missouri.
In other elections since the vote in
1880, the NAACP has helped to defeat
the following men who voted for
Parker, ex senators MCCULLOUGH of
Ohio. Allen of Kansas, Shortridge OF
California, Watson of Indiana, and
Baird of New Jersey.

than any occurrence in this years SEES
sion and is regarded by many Of the
old timers us a serious 'boner."
At the very beginning of the eighth
day session, President Green took a
slap at his colleagues conduct of the
day before when the course Of his
opening remarks he spoke Of "the
splendid men and women who have
come into our movement in the past
year. at is our duty" he continued,
to hzing into the A. F. of L. every
man and woman who wrks for wages
in America. There is room for every
one in our movement" Green parti-
cularly commended the work of the
Workers Education Bureau and urged
the delegates to rally to its support.
The most fiery response to Tobin's
remarks, however, came from Francis
J. Conan, aggressive vice president
of the textile workers union, the mem
bership Of which has grown from
$4,000 to $780, 900 during the past year.
AT the morning session, Oct 10. Cor

to defer the matter until Tobin, who

ANOTHER DAY
BY SCOTT

The other morning when I got up
I stubbed. MS toe. While was dress
ing my collar button rolled across
the floor and into the register. / was
late getting started for wirk and l
reached the street car line just in
time to see my a slide past me. All
day long everything went wrong. Per-
haps the fact that it was raining and
the day was SO dark and dreary had
something to do with it. When I
reached home at night 1 was exhaust
ed mentally and physically. Life
looked about as drab and colorless as
the clouds that scuttled across the
sky l felt completely beaten. When
I fell asleep I dreaded the dawn Of
another day.
But when i awoke it was to the
singing Of the birds. Sunlight was
flooding my room. The air was clear
and bracing. I rolled out of bed,
whisteled while l dressed, ate my
breakfast in a ~leisurely fashion and
while l was waiting for the street car
one Of my friends case along in his
auto, picked me up and took me to
work The dull monotony of the day
before was forgotten. My work was
q real pleasure and when the day was
over ] was looking forward eagerly
to the dawn of another Tomorrow
equally as satiifying-
! we all have them@our off days
"when everything goes dead wrong"
But / wonder if they don't help to
emphasize the ones that follow when
tse sun shinaI and life is filled with
intense interest. After all wouldn't
things become sort of monotonous if
t weren't for these breaks that help
US to appreciate the more the bright
days that fill "the even tenor of our
lives?" Life is like an exquisite
painting. We need the shadows to
bring out the high lighats
At timst we are weary and every
thing seems so futile. We have to
admit defeat and yet if we keep our
hand steadily on the wheel we will
round the curve that will bring US
cut on a new road that ultimately
will lead to success No matter how
life may serve us there is always one
sure refuge to which We may turn and
that is the realization that "the best
things in life are free" No matter
how lonely or how poor we may be,
we hold within ourselves 50 near at
hand.
We have only to live one day at a
time 1t Is the looking ahead that
causd1 so many to despair. So often
we underrate the happiness of the
moment for fear of the future. All
Of this is SO unnecessary for n OF
the most merciful things about our
existence Is that everything changes.
The thing about which we worry and
fret today may be entirely changed
by a stroke Of fate on the morrow.
And no matter what affiliction may
overtake us we will find much in our
altered condition that will bring sat
isfaction and contentment.
There is 10 much of beauty in the
every day things of life about US; the
changing color of the trees, the flight
of the birds as they wing their way
southwark for the winter, the levli-
ness of the stars at night. They are
all ours.
When the days are dark and de-
pressing try to remember that there's
another day ahead-another day so
sati5fying that it will US to for
get the trials that now confront US.

Much enthusiasm has been
