Sakdalista Leader in Tokyo Says He Is Asking for
 Only Moral Support

TOKYO, May 6.-Benigno Ramos, President and envoy of the Sak- dalista party of the Philippines, said he had been here since late 1884 ito inform the Japanese people of the real conditions in the island and gain moral support of the Japan csc" He denied he was attempting to obtain arms from this country.
 That Ramos already had gained moral support of influential Jap anese was indicated by the fact that the interview with him took place at the headquarters of Siekykua, largest political party in Japan. Some members admitted giving Ra- mos friendship and protection.
 His Japanese friends were most vague about the nature of help he is enlisting He insisted it is con fined to moral support. A news sheet, Free Filipinos,' however, which Ramos distributed was fea- tured in the Japanese language as an appeal to the gallant Japanese people" recounting the alleged in- iquities and broken pledges under American rule. It also asked help to obtain immediate emancipation and concluded with arms mean our freedom. We lack weapons and resources, but if help is given us now we can reciprocate when we are free"

LOST!

One of the c.'::y's best stor-
les is still circulating among
the n ewspaper fraternity
around the City Hall. It gar
giles something like this:
During the municipal pri-
mary campaign two years ago,
some jovial gent remarked to
Latimer--the perpetual canii-
date-that Soandso had left
fifty dollars with Alderman
Bastis for Toms campaign
fund. Tom is said to hav:.
remarked with a wry grin,
"Hell! That's the end of that
fifty" Well it didn't show on
his election receipt account!

getting it? Do you think ''the
Old Man" is full of prunes :
Just writing to fill space?
You told me during our short.
but to me, interesting, converse
ton over the phone, that yon
had turned in a healthy contri-
button to Toms campaign fund
two years ago. Well, what ever
you handed over, you can add to
the six hundred ta0o other suck
ers turned in-and the chances
are that if you'll check these
items over with still othef suck
ers you'll find there are lots of
'em. But Tom declared under
oath, and it's a matter of public
record, that he had no receipts
and had only three hundred forty
one dollars of campaign expense!
Match that one.
Really, you folks who say
your prayers to Latimer instead
of God, isn't it about time you
aVoke up and took stock?
But perhaps you took too much

Latimer Violates Cor
rupt Practices Act
D., Cat,
By Seth

In stating or promising who
will be appointed to any Office
after he is elected, a candidate
violates the Corrupt Practices
Act. Nor in any way may a can
didate be privileged to say who
will not be appointed to such or
such an office. The latter is just
what Thomas E. Latimer, mayor
atty nominee, has done, and thus,
in sort of left-handed manner,
indicated whom he would appoint
to the office of superintendent
of police.
Latimer has declared publicly
and positively that Chief of Po-
lice Michael Johannes will not be
reappointed to Office if the FL
satellite is elected. BY so doing
he eliminates one candidate from
the field and narrows down any
possible choice. There are only
two men in the police department
left for Latin1er to choose from
we won't mention the names.
However, it isn't unusual for any
FL candidate to violate the Cor
rupt Practices Act. Governor
Olson is the main offender-or
shall we say, the whole FL cor
poration is a violator of the act,
the main offender. Even being a
member of the Farmer-Labor
machine makes Latimer a viola
tor of the act, outside of the spe-
ciic instance of his declarations
that he intends to remove johann
mes if elected. When Reyes ac-
cused Latiner of violating the
act, the FL candidate denied it,
because as he said, II make no
secret of the fact that I shall not
ireappoint Michael j. Johannes
chief of police if I am elected"
alphabetically, if a law-breaker
declares publicly that he is a law
breaker, that doesn't make him
less law-breaker or less liable
to prosecution. Hence that Lati-
mer has made public his viola
ton makes him no less a violator.

need to worry his head about
rackets; his organization will
take care of that for him. AS
for being "for elimination of all
connections. with corporations"
Mr.. Latimer is the representative
of the largest and most expensive
racketeering corporation in Min
nesota, the FL juggernaut.
Mr.. Latimer, all in all, can't
be for or against anything per-
sonally. His organization decides
what he shall be for or against.
It's up to Minneapolis citizens
to decide whether they want a
corporation or a man as the high
est official in the city hall. Lati-
mer is not a man, he is cog in .
machine. That's good enough
reason why he shouldn't be elect
led mayor.

enumerate a few of these "other

There acre more than one
thousand signs asking the voters
to ELECT TOM LATIMER
JUDGE! At even two-bits
each they were worth two hum
bred and fifty dollars-and they
were worth more than that even
if painted by non-union labor
and posted over the county and
city by non-union bill posters!
Tom made no mention of these
in his report of election receipts
and expenses for that campaign.
Then there was the cost of many
gallons of paint used to ground
coat" and letter those signs. Was
that paint donated? Admit that
it was-which it wasn't-and we
find that the Corrupt Practices
Act uus siolated anyhoao! And

In addition to the sheet iron

ION" painter. Consistency, thou
art a pip!
If any Latimer admirer thinks
I am telling a lie about these
matters, l suggest that he take a
look at the records. They were
there on file on May u. But
let's step along to the municipal
election of two years ago-1933
when Latimer sought to win
the office of mayor:
Tom filed an election report
account, according to law 60
with the City Clerk. That re-
cort is a public record and can
Ee seen any day during office
.:ours. And here's what Tom
said, under oath:
That his campaign expenses
totaled only three hundred forty
one dollars and fifty-six cents.
Gle was strong for that fifty-six
cents).
And again he neglected to
itemize in his expense account
the cost of more than one thous-
and of those phony Union
signs. Why? Wait a moment.
He declared under oath that
lie had no. receipts! He listed
none. Let's see about that item:
He accepted one campaign
contribution from a slot machine
''sbyeadey" and another three
hundred from a very loyal
henehmam. Want his name,
Tom? Both of these names?
I've got EN-.

davit as to his election expenses
