John Thomas Hits
Political Lethargy
of Mill Citians


In a strong letter to this news
paper, John F. Thomas, President
of the Young Voters Progressive
League said:
weaving Penelope's web-what
a long and thankless task. To those
Of us who have pledged our efforts
to the job of organizing the Negro
voters of Minneapolis into Young
Voters Progressive League, it
sometimes appears that we have
assumed equally as difficult a task.
However, for inspiration to plunge
completely into the battle, one
needs only to glance at the statis-
tics which illustrate the deplorable
condition of the Negro voter in this
city.
"In the neighboring metropolis of
st. Paul, the Negroes are allotted
over thirty positions in the city.
Here in Minneapolis we are for
tunate if the number reaches ten.
Why is this true? We have over
1000 voters in town in which
most mayoralty elections are
gained on a majority not exceeding
500 votes. Elections have shown
candidates being returned victo-
rious on the slight majority Of 80
100 votes in comptroller, judge
ships, and aldermanic contests. In
many of these fields the Negro
could maintain the controlling
factor, if he would only organize.
"'Organize.' One little word, but
what master where it concerns
Negroes. In Minneapolis we have
only one hotel in which to exc out
a living. One railroad station in
which we can pursue the work of
the redcap. A janitor here and
there, a jazz orchestra now and
then, nothing more,-that may well
describe the condition of the Negro
economically in Minneapolis. Just
last month Greek owners who run
most of the shoe shops and valet
parlors voted to employ colored
only in the mental tasks where it
was absolutely necessary. Thus
many Negroes were dismissed sum-
marily from their labor with only
relief left for them. It is a we'll
known fact that the Chamber of
Commerce strictly forbids the en-
ployment of our people in work
that may be done by whites.
"This defeatist attitude may be
all right for the older people, but
the young men and women are not
satisfied. We know, we've talked
with too many. They are demanding
a new day. The Young Voters Pro-
gressive League was set up to aid
them. Join in the movement. Do
not scott at this attempt, derision
will not halt its leaders. This is a
permanent, statewide setup, and
it will succeed even if we have to
wait until the boys and girls of
fifteen years become of voting age.
even if we have to catch them
young and train them. Register
and vote Negro!"

President, Young Voters
Progressive League.
