| Found Out About Leach

The peculiar thing about this polit-

interest of the city is the cosmopol-
itan aspect of Leach support. In my
walks about the city, I find not only
men who would be justified in this
through affiliation, business or social
and semi-social, but men who sociol-
ogists would definitely classify, men
who have interests that must be safe
guarded, men who are only stirred by
civic pride and community interest.
The answer to all of my queries
may be summed up in Henry Georges
famous comment: al am for Men,"
My first experience with this type
of argument occurred when | discuss
ed the campaign with South Side
resident, and asked him: "Why are
you SO strong for Leach ?"

A Tribute to a Man

Arthur Moot, candidate for alder
man Of the Ord ward, wrote his
tory of loyalty and kindness to the
under privileged when he was county
commissioner. He added page after
page in private life. The times that
he has helped victims of circumstance
is without any accurate number, but
we know and have known him for
number of years; and known of his
activities.
This paper goes on record as en-
dorsing Mr. Moot, not as a politician,
not because his ambition has led him
to seek office, but because he is quail
flied to serve more as an honest and
upright lover Of his fellowman.
We urge the support of Mr.. Moot,
because we know that that trust VIII
not be misplaced, and that the in
herent honesty of the man wiH=safe-
guard not only the interests OF the
people of his ward, but those Of the
entire city. We know that Mr.. Moot
has been through a hard and bitter
campaign, we know that he has been
subjected to tests that would try any
man, but in our last conversation
with him, he was the same old Arthur
Moot who incidentally took time out
of his campaign activities to help 8
friend in need.
Mr.. Moot has always shown the
highest confidence in the Negro Of
Minneapolis, and we know that he
still retains that faith.
1t is not the faith of the philari-
thropist who makes a gesture to large
groups in which the Individual IS lost,
but he has that faith in the man in
the street, that makes him the big
and lovable character that he is.
We respectfully urge the colored
voter, every voter in the third ward,
to support this man who will do his
utmost to make this city our city,
and go hand in hand with the old
reliable administration which we feel
sure will be returned to the city hall
to make Minneapolis the city 1T once
was, the cit. it should be.

TO MAKE SURVEYS OF
NEGRO HOTELS, THEATRES

Washington.-Two surveys, Hotels
Owned and Operated by Negroes and
Theatres Catering to the Negro, are
in progress in the Division of Negro
Affairs, it was reported this week.
The Census of 1880 showed that
1904 Negroes were either hotel keep
ers or managers. However, avail
able data indicate that as a result
of the depression many of these oper=
ators are no longer in business.
The theatre surveys will provide
information on the ownership, man
agement, advertising policy and prac=
tees of theatres catering to the Ne
gro trade, and should be of great
service in revealing the financial tie
up of the ghetto theatre with white
concerns that bar Negroes from their
regular" houses:

LYNCH MOB HUNTS FARMER

Longview, Texas.-Mob violence in
this state flared anew here when a
gang Of landlords agents began a
lynch-hunt for Archie Fuller, Negro
tenant farmer, after severely beating
Fuller's brother, Homer, and the lat
ter's wife.
The mob tore through pine woods
north of Hallsville in search of the
tenant farmer, who is accused of
killing Raymond Henderson, 35year-
old white farm overseer. The mob
sters first brutally attacked Homer
Fuller and his wife because they
wouldn't "talk" about the killing.
Henderson, following a prevailing
landlord practice in the South, went
to the Fuller's home the day he was
killed in an effort to force them to
work on a farm where he was over
seer. He became angry because the
tenant farmers resisted his threats.
