Here And
There

The most startling statement in
DR.. Stanley Highs "Black Omens"
in the Saturday Evening Post Of
May Fl, is the definite assertion
that the Negroes of America are
getting together" --..
Many thousands of the more
than 100000 Post readers know
very little of the country's Negro
citizens though it is conceded they
number 10 in every 100 of popu-
lation.
The chief interest for Negroes
in DIR. Highs article and in the one
that is to follow lies not in the
thought that white men will find
so intriguing; rather it is because
this important and informative de-
ductiOn will be placed before such
a large section of thinking Ameri-
cans by a publication acknOwI-
edged to be one of the foremost
journals of the day whose readers
are found in every section of the
United States.

formed Negro in this country I'M

Poetic Thoughts
Lawyers
BY MORRIS GIBBS, sr.

The lawyer is our friend in need,
Fixes up our affairs and straghtens out our deeds
We use him at all times when in doubt
As to what is the right way to solve a law bout.
Advice is what we pay for,
Whether successful or not good sports
money spent where results seen
Makes one good though than dreamed
When in trouble with the law do not have to have
To summon lawyer with gift Of CAB
For shrewdness does not always come
From talking always but thinking
The lawyer is confidential friend,
He knows all our business from end to end.
For he tells when his office visit
He know the facts he success in it.
The day of the trial we have all the faith
That center on in the legal race
For our hopes put all in one place
For we want to be free from all disgrace.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-05-27

that DR.. Highs article makes so
clear. Indeed the man in the
street is conscious of the growing
spirit of cooperation-of wider
group thinking and of the deter
mination of his people to pool all
of their resources and abilities into
a single mass pressure to over
come the many Inequalities in law,
economics and customs that threat

In DR.. Highs interesting article

and actions of Ia millions of

explanation of the causes that are
responsible for the fact. 60.

Two good friends of colored peo-
pie, one a liberal and the other a
conservative, are noted among the
candidates for reelection to the
Legislature in Hennepin County.
They are S. A. Stockwell, the
Northwest's most outstanding lib
eral House member, from the 32nd
district, and Mabeth Hurd Paige,
veteran worker for women and
children and the underprivileged,
who seeks reelection from the Both
district.
In this same district the sena-
torial candidate is Donald o.
Wright, who is just as unpopular
among our people as his brother,
who is running for reelection, is
popular.
A. P. Couse, candidate for State
Representative from the 18Th dis

been recommended by a number of
colored citizens.

Clifford Rucker, last week sent out
a plea to fellow Negro state en-
ployes for a meeting to decide how
much "do-ra-mi" the Negro state
employees should contribute to the
campaign fund. Brother Rucker,
who belongs to the white controlled
Third Ward Farmer-Labor club,
Hennepin County, evidently would
like to take the play" away from
the Ervin-Albright, regular organi-
zation. Most of the new employees
of the state were endorsed by the
Rondo club and probably will not
take kindly to the Rucker strategy
and jOckeying for power and posi-
ton.
In Hennepin county Mrs. Fannie
M. Shanks is active in Republican
circles. Hobart T. Mitchell, per-
ennial political worker who trained
in the last state campaign with the
former Albright Ervin-P earce COM
bine is not known to be active at
present but no doubt when the po-
litical pot begins to boil and over
flow he will be around.
Hamlet B. Rowe, who carries
much weight among the Negro
voters on the Northside, will prob
ably do his usual solo in this cam
paign and produce the required
number of votes to carry the can
didates he favors.
Harry L. Scott, the stormy petrol
of Minneapolis politics, threw a
bomb shell into Northside Mime
apolis politics when he filed for
County Commissioner from the
Fourth District against /. G. Scott,
Farmer-Labor leader. H. L. will
get lot of votes from all classes
and colors and it will be interesting
to see how the Negro Farmer
Laborites in that section take his
candidacy.
For Congress in the Fourth Dis
trict the incumbent Melvin Mas,
Republican, will be opposed by
Howard Y. Williams, as good a
friend to the colored people as the
state has known. Famer-Labor
Congressman Dewey Johnson of the
Fifth District, where the colored
vote is large, forgot all about the
large Negro support given him two
years ago, according to the muir
muring heard in that section. John
son ran against the unpopular
Walter Newton, Hoover's secretary.

Heirs Lose
Their Plea

New York, June II (AP)-Mrs.
Dorothy Sunshine" Browning Hood,
adopted daughter of the late Edward
w. Daddy" Browning, lost an ap-
peal today in her court fight for
Browning's $3,OO0,00O estate.
The appellate division denied, with
out opinion, her application for a re-
versal of surrogate courts decision
which prevented her from becoming
the principal beneficiary. Counsel
for Mrs. Hood said the case would be
carried to the court of appeals at AL
bany.
In her appeal to the intermediate
court, Mrs. Hood based her main at
tack on a so-called charitable trust
fund in which the late real estate
operator placed the large part of his
residuary estate. The fund was set
up to award annual prizes to perxons
who achieve distinction in specified
fields.
Mrs. Hood contended the fund was
not legal because she said the prizes
would not be of a charitable nature.
The surrogate courts decision, re-
turned last December, narrowed the

Washington, June 17.-(AP)-Five
hundred-odd members of the 18th Con

quit work finally went home TODAY
to ask the voters to return them next
January.
Until the gavels whacked out ad-

over Roosevelt proposals just as they
had done ever since the court re-

months ago.
The Senate and the House, in their.
last meeting, approved the Presi-
dents $3,753, 100000 relief and public
works program, but enacted over his
veto a bill continuing low interest
rates on government loans to far

Then filibustering senators shelved
