RECEPTION FOR
LEON ABBEY

Sunday afternoon, Sept. 81, the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Alb
hey, Ala E. 25th St., Minneapolis,
was the center upon which con-
verged the social life of Mime
apolis and st. Paul.
The occasion was reception ar
ranged by the Abbeys for their
visiting son Leon, who came to the
city after twelve years on the con-
tinent for short visit with his
parents. Automobiles almost
blocked the street as friends from
over the Twin Cities came to re-
new acquaintance with the young
musician. Some 200 or more took
advantage of the opportunity to
meet the now famous traveller. In
the receiving line with Leon were
three of the young people who
were members of his classes in
Central High School from which
each was graduated. They were
Miss Marienne Jeffrey, Thomas
Stovall, Jr., and DIR. w. D. Brown.
The hours were most happily
spent, both in meeting the guest
and in bidding him goodbye, as
he was scheduled to leave Mime
apolis Thursday. He goes to Chi
cago for a day or two, then to New
York where he sails shortly for
Paris, France. From Paris Mr..
Abbey goes to Bombay, India,
where with his orchestra he fills a
six months engagement.

REPUBLICAN WOMEN HEAR
RUTH HANNA SIMS

The Hennepin County Republi-
can Clubs dinner rally at the
Radisson Hotel Thursday noon was
attended by several hundred wom-
en- members of the several units of
the Republican organizations.
Mrs. Albee Ladd, president, pre-
sided, introducing the several not
ables at the speakers table.
The speaker of the afternoon
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick Sims,
daughter of the late Mark Hanna,
nationally known Republican lead
er, was introduced by Mrs. Chris
Carlson, State Republican leader.
Mrs. Sims, in her vigorous cam
paign talk, attacked with satire
and more reasoned argument the
policies of the present admins
tration. The great menace of
President Roosevelt, the speaker
declared, was his tendency to move
toward the left-a direct step to-
ward dictatorship. She cited the
MIRA and many other of the alpha
betical units as convincing evil
dences of that dangerous trend.
All candidates for state and local
offices who were present were in
troduced. Mesdames Elizabeth
Van Hook, Katherine L. Smith,
Rebeque Force and Carrie Jackson,
prominent race Republican women,
were among the many women pres
ent.

first court scence involving the Scot

Americans had fun
While the nine innocent victim
Of prejudice battled for their very
lives in an atmosphere heavy with
antagonism, the hilarity Of a south
ern circus progressed on the side
lines. Yes, we must admit these ma
tive Americans appreciate fun. But
here they had nine Negro entertain
ers to furnish the merriment. It was
when twenty thousand persons found
musement III watching the death
gonies Of aae lone NEGRO as he hung
by his neck that the acme in demon

reached.

Plays are censured, movies are sup
