The Benso1i-for-Senator Volun-
teer committee this week estab-
lished headquarters at 81 West
Seventh street, St. Paul, and
launched its drive to return Elmer
A. Benson, former governor and
United States senator, to the Sen
ate.
Benson has not yet made his
keynote address, but it was indi-
Gated that he will campaign in the
general election-as he did in the
primary-on a platform which will
contain planks destined to abolish
"Jim Crowism" forever.
Drawing on his Senate expert
ence with Race problems, particu-
larly in the South, Benson has ad-
vocated and will continue to advo-
cate:
~ Passage of the Geyer anti.
poll tax bill, which would give the
vote to Negroes and impoverished
whites in the South.
(2) Passage of bills which would
give complete equality to the Ne.
gro, by guaranteeing no discrim-
nation in employment, and no dis
elimination in the right to jury
service.
(3) Passage Of the anti-lynching
bill.
"The struggle to end Race in
equalities can only be carried on
within a truly progressive move
ment," said Benson. Reaction can
yield the Negro nothing but op-
preston"

independent progressives of six
Northwest States comforting here
Saturday decided upon "full sup
port of President Roosevelt for re-
election"
Give Reasons
"In this national crisis" the con-
ferees declared in a public state
ment, 1--WE have decided to support
the New Deal because it has broken
ground for a more just society. We
recognize that the superstructure
is still to be erected, but are con-
fident that progress in building this
super-structure has it's only chance
of being continued under President
Roosevelt - certainly not under
Wendell Willkie."

ard Y. Williams, st. Paul, chair
man of the conference, as "Iist of
reasons for the decision Of the con-
ference to support Roosevelt and
Wallace" ..,
In conclusion, the conference de-
clared that "the election of Wen
dell Willlie would be an out-and-
out defeat for American de-
mocracy."
Mayor John J. McDonough of
st. Paul opened the conference Sat-
urday morning. Speakers included
Judge William A. Anderson,
Minnesota; Kenneth w. Homes,
president of Wisconsin Farmers

Delegates will confer and legis-

in the educational, medical and
publishing departments.
Visitors are invited especially to
the meetings held on October 10,
10 and 20.
The Seventh Day Adventist
church was founded in 1884. 1t was
not until 1900 despite that the
church always had had a few
Negro members that work was be-
gun in earnest among American
Negroes. Now there are $4,000
regular Negro members. The S. D.
A. boasts of teaching the gospel in
766 languages. The organization is
worldwide. The conference here
will bring people from all parts of
the globe.
Rev. S. Armound Douglas, elder
Of Beacon Light Mission, Mime
apolis, the only Negro S. D. A.
church in the Twin Cities, said
Monday that his church believes in
"giving equality to every man re-
gardless of race or color" Advent
lists believe, he said, in the return
of Jesus, the unconscious state of
the dead and the resurrection, the
Ten Commandments and the law
binding all humanity.
No definite plan has been made
to honor the Negro delegates but
plans will be made when the dele
gates arrive.
