We Lose Our Bet-G. O.P.
Locates One Worker; Lundeen Will
Get Large Number Negro Votes

woman attorney, strong support
er of his, could have filed accept
ably any of score of appointive
jobs which Olson passed out to
others who were far less qualified.
Walter Newton's alleged part in
keeping the Republican party in
the south "ilywhite" during the
Hoover regime may rise to plague
him in his race for Congress in the
Fifth District. There are a large
number of Negro voters in the
Fifth. Newton's coldness and
aloofness which he acquired while
serving as presidential secretary
will be a handicap to him. Dewey
Johnson will give him quite race
observers believe.
The one G. o. P. candidate who
will get a heavy colored vote is
Mike Holm, Secretary of State
candidate for reelection. Mike al
ways remembers the brownskinned
voters after election. One of the
stenographers in his department is

I MUST BUY LADY A
FALL HAT
By Cecil e. Newman

columns in which we made public
wager to buy a Fall hat for anyone
who could locate a Negro citizen
employed in any of the state or
county political headquarters is go
ing to cost us that new Fall hat.
Tuesday morning bright and
early the mail man brought us a
letter from Miss Mildred Brooks,
of st. Paul, revealing the startling
intelligence that she had been en-
ployed at Republican state head
quarters in ST.. Paul since Aug. 7.
We bow in the direction of
Messrs. Tom McCabe and Leroy
MatsOn, Republican state generals,
for our glaring error.
MatsOn is reported as saying he
did not consider the placement as
anything to call attention to from
the racial angle. We quite agree
with him, the employment of a
single person is nothing for the
G. o. P. to brag about. If Mr.. Mat
son thinks his party is going to cut
any figure in the Negro vote in
November he will have to do much
more. In fact, if he was as astute
as he would have people believe,
the work among the cOlOred people
would be placed in charge of some
Negro who understands the situa-
ton thoroughly. Brother MatsOn is
reported as not liking our article.
This is to be expected. Few
politicians want to hear the truth.
What we said about the G. o. p,
the Democrats and the Farmer
Laborites last week was mild to
what we intend to say in future
articles. Praise and caustic criti-
cism will be given without regard
to party or candidate.
Negro G. o. p. ranks have lost
Joseph Albright of Duluth who will
be active in the campaign to re-
elect Roosevelt. .-s
In 1892 Albright was a staunch
Hoover supporter. He is reported
close to John Erickson, Democratic
National Committeeman. From
all signs the Democrats are going
to conduct an intense. campaign
among Minnesota Negroes.
1t looks like J. Louis Erwin, Ora
C. Hall and Albright will have the
direction of the F. D. r. Afraneri-
can campaign.
John T. Lyons, Farmer-Labor
state campaign manager, thought
we were unfair to Floyd B. Olson
in last weeks editorial on the late
departed FL chieftain.
Strange as it may seem, Ernest
Lundeen will get more votes from
the Negro element than the late
Floyd b. Olson. Lundeen has q
large Negro following which
ignores party lines. His interest in
the man farthest down has en-
deared him to underprivileged min
Ority groups. Years ago he knocked
down with his fist a huge white
fellow who insulted the late Chas.
Sumner Smith, at Spanish War
Veterans meeting.
Lundeen is no fair weather
politician and has known the hard
ships of defeat. Many colored
voters will mark an x behind his
name. Many Negroes admired Oh
son but did not vote for him.
Olson had peculiar ideas about
our folk. We believe he was
devoid of race prejudice
but we do know he failed his eolored
cohorts as far as patronage goes.
Ask Harry Scott, Minneapolis at
torney, about how Olson kept his
word. Olson was the only state
chief executive who was always

so-called infants. We'd like to skip
a few years up to about twenty

We will forgive you if you can't do
that but we won't forgive you if
YOU don't answer some questions

Could you please fix it for US so
that we could at least MEET some
of the boys from other towns who
will be in the Twin Cities for the
Homecoming? Especially the one
who you sat on the roof with.
Wen all three dance at your we'd
ding if you answer our questions
right away.
Sincerely,
Three Babes-in-the- Woods.
Well, well, well. Such nice sta
tonery you use! Got any extra

girls, so worried about being seven
teen! When was seventeen /

ideas on the subject. / didn't, ask
'em because / knew they wouldn't
tell me anyway, and | don't exactly
blame them. No one wants to see
his age publicly advertised, even
if it's the right age. Yes, guess
they're nice boys, although that
word mice" is rather ambiguous.
/ think they're pretty nice and one
thing is certain, they're among the
most eligible bachelors left around
town. Somethin' tells me they
know it, too. / don't know what
type of gals they like best. A few
of the lads seem to be rather vague
on the subject themselves so 1
couldn't expect to speak up for
them. Dearie me, it looks like the
older girls have a corner on the
Homecoming dates already, on &C
counta' they can keep the late
hours and party-to-party routine
without getting in trouble at home.
Seeing you girls didn't sign any

During cold weather, keeping
meat on the farm is simple mat
ter. But when hot summer comes, or
warm spell in winter, look out!
You suddenly find your meat, Into

larva of a fly, which has laid it's
eggs in the meat At the first warm

But there are other troubles be-
sides shippers. Green mold often de-
velops, or rancidness near the bone.
The meat dries out, gets too hard
to eat
ONLY ONE PREVENTIVE
Thorough smoking is the only
known way to prevent all these
troubles. But how? Everyone knows
how uncertain the old smokehouse
method is. Other so-called smoking
methods, or substitutes for smoking,
are likewise risky. How can you tell
whether or not the meat is thor
oughly smoked? But if you want to
be absolutely SURE your meat will
come through the hot summer
months sweet and wholesome and
eatable, don't take chances. Brush
