HUEY p. LONG
Huey I. Long has a program
that IS taking the country by storm.
He expects to take from the r1cn
and give to the poor, every family
to own a home, radio, automobile.
and have job. After that there
Will be no need for anyone going
to heaven. There are lots OF people
who think Huey is crazy, but he IS
tar from being so. Our folks, or ra-
Their some OF our folks, are distur.
bed over the fact that he refers to
US as "niggers". That word disturbs
quite a few but on the other hand
there are some who say they will
vote tor him not caring about wha;
he calls them.
Personally this writer has heard
the same word used so much by
colored people themselves that he
wonders just why some get sore
when the white people refer to us
IN those same terms. For years this
writer has been i'll close touch with
Walter L. Cohen and his family
when he held presidential appointafa\

who did not use any such language
The colored people wern't any bet
ter Oft then as whole. So, il Huey
can be made president and call Us
that name he seems to get so much
pleasure calling Us, and still keep
his promise to all Of the people re-
CARELESS of race, creed, or color.
this writer will vote for him. Know,
ing the Southern white man as I
do this word comes as natural to
him as it does to our own folks.
You probably will agree with the
writer that the Senator is not cul
tured or efined SO we can over
look some Of his Shortcomings if
he will share the wealth of this
country with us.
THE AMATEUR MINSTRELS
The Amateur Minstrel Boys are
rounding up in great shape and the
greatest show Of all time is promised
the public on Easter Monday at the
Savoy Ballroom. The scene will be
on the levee, probaly New Orleans.
This club is made up of the leading
men of this community and there
is no other organization in Chicago
that has stood together for nearly
forty years and is still intact doing
what they started out to do, "give
an annual benefit for the Old Folks
Home" All we ask of the public is
to support the show each year.
