Randolph Among
"a Who Hit
WPA Trials

Washington, D. c., Jan. g.
Among the "a outstanding liberal
leaders of the country who signed
a letter to President Roosevelt pro-
testing the Minneapolis WPA
strike trials were the names of two
Negroes, A. Phillip Randolph, pres
ident of the International Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters, and
Ashley Totten, treasurer of the
same organization.
The letter said in part:
Dear Mr.. President:
The undersigned view with grave
concern the nature of the Federal
indictment and prosecution of 1852
residents of Minneapolis and St.
Paul, charged with conspiracy to
violate the relief act. The entire
proceedings seems to be subversive
of the true interests of justice and
opposed to the letter and spirit of
Constitutional guarantees for a
fair trial.
If any Of the defendants have
been guilty of any overt acts of
violence, they are liable for those
acts in the proper courts. It is
inimical to our democracy that
striking workers, engaged in peace
full picketing, are prosecuted I'M
der a Federal statute which was
never intended to apply to such
conduct and tried en- masse, thus
being refused a fair trial.
1t is our sincere hope, Mr.. Pres
ident, that you in the course of
your official duties will direct the
Department of Justice to cease
such un-American practices and
recognize as its responsibility not
only the conviction of violators of
our laws but the safeguarding of
Constitutional guarantees which
today stand as proof of the demo-
cratic way of life.

Text of annual message of DIR.
w. D. Brown, association presi-
dent:
Members of the Minneapolis
Business and Professional Associa-
ton:
Greetings!
This meeting tonight marks the
beginning of the third year of
operation of our organization. We
have come through two years of
work, groundwork, which has been
thorough to a high degree and
which is ample for the erection of
superstructure. During this early
period, the honor of leadership has
been accorded to me. Though radi-
cal by nature, I have striven to be
moderate and conservative in or
der to amalgamate in spirit every
member, many of whom from the
first, by their independence, were
wary of such a union.
To me, the outstanding success
of this organization, within itself,
has been the development of a
comradeship, an understanding,
and will to cooperate among in
dividuals who, by nature of their
occupations, were and still are to
high degree independent of one
another. All, however, have seen
that to insure a better Minneapolis
for the Negro, concerted action is
necessary among those who are
spoken of as leaders or who have
that potentiality.
The various officers and commit
tees have done excellent jobs. All
are busy people but they have
found time to promote the OBJ
jectives of the organization and by
their actions the Association has
been we'll received in the commu-
nifty.
The Business and Professional
Association is respected in Mime
apolis.
Due to the fact that we are cru
sading for justice in civic affairs,
there are those on the outside who
will be ever ready to attribute ul-
terror motives to our programs. To
minimize and to counteract this, it
is up to us to build our organiza-
ton strongly on ethical principles,
to accept members who are cred
it because of their business or pro-
fessional capacity, and likewise to
engender the spark that will slim
ulate all to higher goals and to
greater efficiency.
AS we meet from year to year
to elect officers, it is up to each
one of us to accept the response
bility of carrying on the work of
the organization. Everyone has

Arizona's First
Draft Quota 147

PHOENIX, Nov. 8 U.PD-Selec-
tive service officials predicted to-
day that Arizona's first quota of lat
men would be filled through volun-
tary enlistments.
Approximately 100 volunteers al
ready have signed up at six of the
25 local draft boards and it was be-
lieved that no men would be con-
scripted Immediately.
A breakdown of Arizona's total
quota of the first 800, 900 men to be
drafted throughout the nation re-
vealed that the states enlistment
total would be 1857 men.
Draft officials however, said that
the state is credited with 1880 ma
tional guardsmen and $3.50 men
serving in other branches Of the ma
tion's forces. The equivelant of
these men is deducted from the
draft quota.
The remaining 1908 probably will
be narrowed still further because
Arizona sent about 2,1OO men to
Fort Sill while volunteer enlistments
also are trimming down the total
to be drafted.
The first group of conscripts is

and then moving to the section OF
suburban Phoenix still bearing the
family name.
He attended Phoenix schools and
graduated from Phoenix high
school with high honors in 1908
His career in public life began al
most Immediately afterward when
he secured a position as secretary
to Col. j. F. Wilson, delegate to
congress from the Territory of Ari-
zona.
After few years, he quit that
post and took a position with the
Arizona Democrat, Phoenix daily
newspaper. He worked at news
papering until 1910 when he re-
signed to become a delegate to Ari-
zona'S constitutional convention.

When the state was admitted to-
the union, Osborn was elected first
secretary of state of Arizona-and
remains to this day the youngest
man ever to held the post.
Few Arizona governors can claim
the experience with agriculture
that Osborn possesses. For about
six years, ending in 1925, he man
aged a cotton farm near Chandler,
but the vicissitudes of the cotton
market in the early 1920's included
him among it's victims.
In 1925, Osborn purchased Dun
bars Weekly. a Phoenix weekly
publication which he has edited
and published since that time.
Seven years later he served as cam
paign manager for DR.. B. B. Moeur
in the Arizona gubernatorial cam
paign. In that same year Osborn
became state chairman of the
Democratic party and attended the
national convention in which
Franklin Roosevelt was nominated
for his first term.
When Roosevelt was elected,
Osborn received an appointment as
internal revenue collector for Ari-
zona, a post he held for Is months.
He resigned after he had an un-
successful bid for the Democratic
nomination to the U. S. senate
against veteran Henry F. Ashurst.
This marked the third time Os-
born had been a gubernatorial can
didate. Two years ago he was a
candidate for the Bourbon nomina-
tion but was edged by incumbent
Gov. r. T. Jones. In the Septem-
Der primary, Osborn defeated
Jones.
The governor elect is married
and has a daughter.
