Destinies sometimes hinge on trifes A delayed
letter, missing train, being away when someone
calls and similar chance happenings quite frequently
result in missing good opportunity, avoiding
pleasant experience, perhaps obtaining or miss
ing job which materially alters ones Prob
ably every reader can think of such important
trihe in his life.
Such perhaps was the turn of events which caus-
ed Governor Olson to be in Washington when Farmer
Labor radicals less wary than he drawing up and
securing the adoption of the partys 1884 platform.
At the time that platform constructed it is
doubtful any we'll informed politician in the state
would have prophesied that the governor would have
opposition worthy of consideration at the general
election this fall.
Then like a bombshell the platform was adopted
and dropped among the voters. The explosion must
have frightened even the dreamers who wrote the
operative commonwealth TINT. It's every word play
ed completely into the hand of the opposition for it
confirmed it's suspicion to what the state might be
headed for under Olson leadership and finally pinned
the party to the principles it was presumed to stand
for. Probably the state has never seen in all history
such gross political blunder.
The uproar which resulted led to explanation af
ter explanation Campaign literature distributed by
the party contains only Interpretation Of the orr
ginal document The party Immediately placed
on the defensive, explaining, reassurng avoiding the
planks on which it supposed to stand
The affect on Governor Olson's destiny cannot be
known for certain until after November 6. Already
the result has been vastly more expensive campaign
than would have been necessary. Thirty-hve radio
broadcasts scheduled for the last 10 days OF the cam
paign at tremendous expense alone indicate party
leaders are scared There is growing belief among
who travel through the state that sentiment
has turned against the party sufficiently to defeat its
candidates. Probably Governor Olson will be reelect-
ed by small margin but should he be retired to pri-
vate life, an absurd thought few months ago, ne
can blame it all on q chance trip to Washington.

WHO'S YOUR GRANDPA7
The case of Oswald Garrison Vii

is proof enough that success in this
vale Of tears is somewhat dependent
on a wise choice Of ancestors. Mr..
Villar dhas long been acclaimed as
a friend of the Negro people. Part
Of that reputation depends on his
willingness to advise Negroes on any
and all occasions, but his real pull
is the result Of the fact that he is
a grandson of William Lloyd CARR
son. There have been times when it
seemed to me that the great ances
tor was q burden to the editor and
he was moved to drop q kindly word
for colcred folks just to prove that
he was worthy of his second name.

fandlsrdR fearful Of the loss Of their

Nowhere is poverty more terrible

A AGAINST
LYNCHING

"The crime of which q Negro was
accused and for which a mob lynched
him at Marina, Fla, ON October 81,
was one that must be revolving to all
right thinking men and women. New
ertheless, this lynching indicts Flori-
da and America before humanity.
"Such an act of savagery, which
is at once published all over the
civilized world. not only brutalizes
the community in which it occurs,
but impugns u national honor and
imperils American efforts abroad in
behalf of world peace and a better
international social order.
despite the repeated protests
against lynching on the part Of the
best citizens of the South, and des-
pite the universal condemnation of
the crime on the part of the rest Of
the country and the world, lynching
still persists. Worts Of all, after a
lynehig occurs there sre but few in
tsances on record in which even the
leaders of the mob are brought to
justice Surely nothing would stop
