OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Picnic
Goes Over With BANG

believed that Hughes, because of
the experience of his own growing
family would be ideal in dealing
with children, and he was. Eager
ly the children lined up at his COM
mand in the several races and con-
tests of skill, all of which had been
carefully planned for in advance.
The fun was infectious; grown
men and women Joined in the run
ming and jumping, in the slipper
kicking and other contests, some
times among themselves, at other
times competing with their own
children.
Almost an Accident
1t lasted all the afternoon with
only one near accident. This came
in the running race for small girls
and boys. One young girl was
crowding the tape to win the race
when she stumbled and fell, the
girl coming on behind stepped on
her and instantly there went up a
cry to high heaven. Surely it came
from nothing less than a broken
back; so tenderly and carefully the
child was removed to the sidelines
for inspection. Was her back
broken? No! Was a limb put out
of joint? No! Was she hurt? MOI!
Then what was the matter and why
the food of tears? Well, she lost
the race, didn't she? And wasn't
that enough to cry about? But
those were the only tears of the
day. The little folks to a man, or
should we say to a woman, enjoyed
every minute of the time, the food,
the drink, the games, the fun of
being together, the enjoyment Of
being watched over and cared for;
their only regret the fact that it
would have to end. And so it did
end, but only when Clarence
Hughes declared there would be no
more games or contests and invited
everyone to come back next year
and try for the prizes they failed
to capture this time.
The End of a Perfect Day
AS the sun began to set over the
darkening hills and the last loaded
automobiles disappeared in the dis
lance, Newman and his hard-work-
ing staff stood weary but exceed
ingly content. The flag that had
flown aloft all the day was low
cred, the residue fallen from the
careless hands of children were
picked from the ground and put
away and the little group stood
silent and thoughtful, thinking of

Came 1890 at the Glenwood
park on Labor Day, a couple of old
people sat quietly under the shade
of a tree, while a few youngsters
looked impatiently at C. E. New
man, the editor, and his harassed
corps of workers who stood about
with anxious mein wondering if
the hard work of the past few
weeks would go all for nought.
But came one o'clock and 10! how
the scene had changed; for auto
mobiles and street cars had poured
forth their loads of youngsters I'M
til the whole park ground was filled
from end to end with a bowling,
expectant, hungry crowd of kids
who came to make this a red-letter
day in their lives and to take full
advantage of the Spokesman
Recorder invitation to eat, drink,
and be merry and look forward to
next year for another.
Parents Also
The parents of many of the chill
dren came with them, and numbers
of the older people who had no
kids of their own came to see the
fun and possibly to see if it could
be true that the paper was going
to play host to that great throng
of nearly 400 children who in good
faith had accepted it's invitation.
Good Food
They were not left long in doubt:
as the aroma from the sizzling
barbecues filled the air; tine white
aproned attendants, with sharp
ened knives quickly began to carve
delicious meats; the children lined
up and the feast was on, everyone
knew that Newman had again
made good. And how those kids
did eat! Little ones on their first
outing were a trifie hesitant but
the larger boys and girls with the
experience of several Union picnics
in mind boldly clamored for more.
With the innocence of youth they
declared they had had not thing
to eat the whole day long, while
those who fed them pretending to
be deceived gave them sandwich
after sandwich until there re-
NAMED only the bare bones. Then
on to the games.

In spite of the fact that the
newly organized state Democratic
League expects to conduct a very
active campaign we have our
doubts that it will be able to sell
the Negro voters the Democratic
state ticket. Roosevelt, yes, but
the rest of the ticket is almost
completely unknown to the Negro
] voter. Etr -
With this trend so noticeable at
present the colored voters will
probably divide their votes between
the Farmer-Labor state ticket and
the Republican ticket-unless the
Democrats on the state ticket de-
eide to get acquainted with the
brethren.
At noon, Tuesday, in down.
town Minneapolis cafe, Bells, to be
exact, we casually pOlled 20 per-
sons on their presidential prefer
ences. Eighteen of those pOlled
were Aframericans and the other
two white. Roosevelt was the
choice of IA; LandOn received 5
votes and Lemke /.
Of the three gubernatorial can
didates Martin Nelson is the best
known among our voters and most
voters know little of him. Elmer
Benson the FL candidate is little
known and Fred Curtis, Demo-
cratic choice, is less known.
Republican advOcatiOn of state
sales tax or its equivalent should
be of interest to all voters. Hav-
ing recently returned from Mis-
souri, which has such a tax we
would like none of it for Mime
sofa.
A press release from the Repub-
lican bureau tells us that Jesse
Owens who recently declared for
Landon may come to the Twin
Cities to stump for CALI"
Incidentally we think Owens
made the mistake of his young life
when he came out for ANY candi-
date. He has unwittingly dimin-
ished his box office appeal by his
partisan stand for LandOn. After
all millions of people take their
politics very seriously and many a
Roosevelt supporter will fail to go
to see Jesse in his theatre appear
ances because of his unwise pOliti-
cal statement.
Owens had all to lose and moth
ing to gain by jumping so pre-
cipitously on the G. o. P. band
wagon. He says he wants to make
money but he has started out the
wrong way. For evidence that
what I write is correct see if you
can recall any of the leading and
top-fight movie stars coming out
for either of the two presidential
candidates. 1t is just not good
business.
We understand that the Demo-
Gratis will import no outside speak
ers this year. The Republicans
would do well to follow the same

Simmons is again one of the big
shots in the G. o. p. camp. The
flowery tongued "COlOnel" seems to

Alfred Landon's recent letter to
Negro Republicans meeting in
Chicago was the most fortnight
statement a G. o. P. presidential
candidate has made to the group
in 20 years. He said in part, "Our
platform of 1886 as it relates to
colored Americans together with
the principles of the Republican
party as they were first uttered
express my feelings and convic-
tions on all problems that concern
them. No turn Of fortune could
change my belief in the absolute
equality of all American citizens"
