in Minneapolis in regard to service
and accommodation for Colored
citizens.
With fair and just aldermen
such violators would have a hard
time remaining in business.
The mayor has the power to re-
woke licenses but the aldermen can
deny them.
It might be a good thing for
Minneapolis Colored voters to ask
candidates for aldermanic prefer
ence in certain pertinent questions
regarding such things.
The mayoralty campaign will be
lively. George E. Leach's colorful
personality has always made him
popular with Colored people. He
did several things for the general
good of the Negro community I'm
der his administration.
Present Mayor Latimer will suf-
fer because of the manner in which
he handled the Helen Waters
policewoman case. Kenneth Hay
craft is not known to the average
Colored voter. None Of the mayor
candidates have any Negroes on
their general committees although
Robert ("Bob") Willis is said to be
working quietly for Leach.
We are making a canvass Of the
records and backgrounds of the
various candidates and from now
on until primary election we will
give readers our findings.
Our usual recommendations will
be published one week before
primary election day.

them knew they were being actu-
ally used to embarrass the present
administration but that is in the
opinion of the writer the exact rea-
son for the demonstration.
For the Negro there were no
losses and few possible gains.
OF course the humorous angle
was that clear majority Of the
clergy who led the demonstration
campaigned and evidently voted
Republican ticket straight at the
last election. With all things equal
they should not expect the FL
administration to accept their
recommendations without consider
ing the regular Colored FL or
ganization headed by J. Louis Err
vim, st. Paul attorney.
In all fairness, it may be con-
sidered that Twin City ministers
pressed by the needs of their peo-
pie, tried to do something to show
their deep concern. But, as fire.
quently happens when in a hurry
to accomplish a very necessary
action, they failed to make of the
opportunity its very evident posi-
bilities. Their congregations were
led to believe that certain definite
economic advantages would follow
this demonstration.
It's the old story of the monkey
dividing the cheese with the con-
tending mice. In the final analysis
the monkey got all the cheese and
the mice were only, as they always
were, only deluded mice.
MINNEAPOLIS FACES AN
OTHER ELECTION
Minneapolis voters face another
municipal election. To minority
groups such as ours the most i'm
portant office to be considered is
not that of mayor.
The election of the proper alder
men and judges is far more i'm
portant to the average citizen and
especially important to a group of
citizens whose rights are constant
ly being violated.
For instance, consider the regu-
lar systematic violation Of the civil
rights laws Of the state by hotels,
restaurants and other public places

NEWMAN THINKS THEY
WERE
By CECIL e. NEWMAN

The letter battle between Sena-
tor Chas. Orr and Governor Elmer
Benson on the Peoples lobby all
night sit-down Monday and Tues
day in the Senate chambers, recalls
the inside" story of last weeks
demonstration led by Twin City
ministers who shepherded about
300 Colored citizens to the capitol.
Senator Orr charged Benson en-
couraged and abetted the sit-down
and inferred that Benson's actions
courted impeachment proceedings
and were an attempt to put the
conservative Senate on the spot.
Herein lies another tale. Farmer
Laborites claim last weeks Negro
demonstration was organized by
Senator Orr, as conservative leader,
to put the Farmer-Labor party "on
the spot"
It is known that a Nathaniel
Payne approached the Twin City
Ministers Alliance with the propo-
sition to march on the legislature
under cloak of a "Negro day" at
the state capitol. Nathaniel Payne
is a Negro conservative, who has
received political favors from that
faction. .....-
AS the demonstration turned out
it did no harm to either the FL
party or the Negro but the results
were not what the promoters ex-
pected.
Representative S. A. Stockwells
fortnight challenge to the house
and Benson's friendly audience
with the ministers committee actu-
ally did the conservative forces no
good.
OF course we don't think the

ter school here and of construct ing . wall around the side of the playground which extends down an embankment on Burton road, have been approved by the national WPA. Work on the new project will start as soon as the wall on lower Bur ton road Is completed. It is not expected this will take long now.
 The project provides for e base of crushed stone on the playground, to be rolled over with Q steam roller, and for c drainage system from the building. The wall to be erected on the side of the playground will be c stone one. The playground has been uneven for some years now and children playing there have suffered bruises and cuts when they fell.
 It Is hoped to get national WpA approval of Q project to erect a new addition to the Town Hall and to construct Q new vault for town records there. The state requires the local records be kept in @ more suit able place than the present vault, which is believed too damp. Select men here would like to have 0 20- foot cellar placed under the hall
