Popular Girl to
Help Camp Fund

A Twin City Popularity Contest
to determine the most popular
Twin City girl will be held soon
sponsored by the Minneapolis So
cialites for the benefit of the Phyl-
lis Wheatley Settlement House
Camp fund.
This camp fund will help to OBJ
tain much needed camping facili.
ties and will also help less fortu.
nate boys and girls attend the An
nual Phyllis Wheatley Summer
Camp. It will be the first time
that any fund for their benefit has
been attempted by an outside or
ganization.
The rules governing the contest
are as follows: a.

over 16 years of age, unmarried,
may become a contestant, provided
her entry blank is in by midnight,
March z, 1888.
2. Votes cannot be transferred
from one contestant to another.
This means if a girl runs and de-
cides to withdraw, her votes can
not be given to some person that
she would like to help. She will re-
ceive credit herself for votes sold.
This is in fairness to the girl who
is working hard from beginning to
end.
8. First prize will be awarded
contestant who sells the highest
number of votes over $500. Sec
ond prize to the next highest, and
third prize to the next highest.

By Cecil e. Newman

A white reader of ours, in let
ter, chided us for always "inject-
ing the race issue into our articles
on politics and politicians" The best
answer to friend reader was con-
tanned in a recent editorial in the
CALL of Kansas City, in which the
editor pointed out: II
Unfortunately for them, Ne
grOes always have a double prob
lem in voting. They must do that
which they deem best for the gen.
eral good, and at the same time
serve their own special needs"
Often racial interests force Ne
gro voters to cast ballots for mer
like "Big" Bill Thompson and fol
venal political machines like the
Pendergast outfit in Kansas City
Most of US would much prefer tt
vote for the best man or woman fol
the job, but, in being honest, w
must admit that often we canno
do so for reasons which should b
plain to those who know anything
about the complex problem whicl
is daily visited upon the Negro.

5. A receipt must be signed for
every book of tickets taken by con
testants. The contestant may have
as many votes as she may want
at any time.
6. Announcement of the prizes
will be made in the Minneapolis
Spokesman and the St. Paul Re-
corder on the goth of April.
z. Each contestant must report
the number of votes sold and turn
in the money to Miss Marjorie Car
ter each week, beginning with
Monday, March 21st.
s. The contest will officially be-
gin Saturday following March 7th,
and will run for six consecutive
weeks, ending on Saturday, April
23rd.
9. No member of the Minneap-
oils Socialites, Junior or Senior,
may enter as a contestant.
1t is hoped that the girls that
enter this contest will have the
pledged support of many Twin City
clubs and organizations. The cash
prizes offered, it is felt, will be
of worth to any popular girl who
is fortunate enough to win.
This contest will be climaxed by
a gigantic Costume Mardi Gras to
be held in the early part of May
at the Phyllis Wheatley House. An
added feature of the contest is that
every purchase of 5 votes will have
a chance to win a $500 prize at,
the Mardi Gras, which will be Civ
en- away.
Any girl may phone in her entry
to Miss Marjorie Carter at Cherry
3O98; after 6 P. M, Locust 6439,
before March 7th. Any club, lodge
or other organization may call the
above numbers and leave their
mailing address and receive a list
of entries as soon as this is made
up.

temporary typists were paid $476
When Hemperley first ran for Of

that the Negro citizens should be

Whatever he does for his COM
