FARMER-LABOR CANDIDATES
LAMBAST HJALMAR PETERSEN,
HIT STASSEN HOME GUARD BAN
(By FL Press Service)

COIlulL1Ou 1OE d pSOphS peace Is IIl6
cornerstone of Farmer-Labor pol
icy, and the endorsed candidates Of
the Farmer-Labor Association are
pledged to the program which calls
for equality of sacrifice as we'll as
equality of rights and standards as
the best guarantee that we will win
the war and Hitlerism will be de-
feated.
This in substance was the decla-
ration of Elmer A. Benson and
P aul A. Rasmussen, endorsed
Farmer-Labor candidates for the
U. S. Senate and for Governor, in
radio addresses over radio station
WCCO Wednesday evening.
"On one point I wish to speak
with complete clarity" said Benson.
"The Farmer-Labor party will toll
crate no persecution of and no dis
elimination against minorities."
Both speakers stressed the fact
that the unendorsed group which
has intruded into the Farmer
Labor primaries, headed by HAL
mer Petersen, does not support the
program or the policies of the
Farmer-Labor Association.
Petersen is a former spokesman
of the America First Committee
and before Pearl Harbor he was
toured as public speaker to dis
seminate the appeaser and negoti-
ated peace propaganda of that no
torious organization.
"The bombing of Pearl Harbor
and the subsequent declaration of
war upon this country by the rest
of Hitler's gangsters should have
convinced everybody that the only
way we can have peace is to smash
Hitlerism once and for ALL" Mr..
Rasmussen has declared. "But
even after Pearl Harbor, Hjalmer
Petersen did not change his stand"
To support this charge, Rasmus-
sen quoted from the Askov Ameri-
can, Petersen's paper, which on the
date of Jan. 8-a full month after
Pearl Harbor - raises the question
of what can be done to make peace
with Hitler.
''The answer he advanced in
these words to support the method
of negotiations as the best possible
method of ending the war in a
lasting peace In other words,
while Hitler's gangsters hold half
the world he would sell out our war
effort in peace which would be
a major victory for the Axis" Ras-
mussen concluded.
While the speakers directed their
fire at the appeasement advocates
who have injected themselves in
the Farmer-Labor primaries, the
stand of the endorsed candidates
for equality for all is seen in sharp
contrast to the policies of the pres
ent Republican administration,
which has practiced JIM Crow in
its worst form in setting up the
Minnesota State Guard.
Commenting upon this, Elmer A.
Benson declared:
''This is a peoples war, and vic
tory depends on organizing our
military and civilian defense appa-
ratus in such manner that all the
people are permitted and encour-
aged to do their utmost. 1t is rep
rehensible that the Stassen admin
istration has barred the Negro
people from full participation in
the work of the Minnesota State
Guard. 1t will be the objective of
the endorsed Farmer-Labor candi-
dates to rectify this injustice, in
the interests of winning equality
for the Negro people, and in the in
terest of the victory effort.

citizen of the United States. This
opinion, which was given at the re-
quest of Col. F. G.. Stuff, adjutant
general of the Minnesota Defense
Force, brought again into the lime
light the fight that native born citi-
zens, who happen to be Negroes,
have been unsuccessfully making
for nearly two years to enlist in
the lily-white state militia. It is
matter of record that it was this
same Col. Stutz, who wrote in a
letter to Samuel Reed, who was the
president of the st. Paul Branch of
the National Association in De-
cember, 1910, that "there is no pro-
vision for Negroes in the Mime
sofa Defense Force" This letter
had been written after two st. Paul
Negroes, Ernest Potts and Victor
Galloway, had attempted to enlist
in the Minnesota Home Defense.
The local branch of the NAACP
through its president, Mr.. Reed,
wrote to Governor Harold E. Stas-
sen, protesting against this dis
elimination and asking for a con-
ference with the Governor on the
matter.
For several weeks Gov. Stassen
ignored the request for a confer
ence. The Minnesota Negro De-
tense Committee, composed of
about forty representatives of pa
triotic, labor, civic, youth, fraternal
and religious organizations of the
Twin Cities, was organized after a
mass meeting in the Halle @.
Brown House on January 10, 1941.
This Committee of which Mr..
Reed was the first chairman, wrote
to Governor Stassen, asking for a
conference on the matter. The
Governor ignored the request until
the Committee threatened to or
ganize a march on the State Capt.
tol to see the Governor. When
Governor Stassen was informed of
the Minnesota Negro Defense Com
mittee's intention to organize the
march on the Capitol, he denied in
statement to the daily newspa-
pers that he had refused to give
the Committee an audience and
that he would see anybody on any
matter. The march on the Capitol
was called off and the Committee
expected the Governor to grant
them an audience. But instead the
Governor appointed Raymond Can
non, well known Mill City attorney,
and Leslie Tarver, adjutant of the
Leslie Lawrence Post of the Amer
lean Legion of st. Paul, as a spe-
cial committee to study the situa-
ton. In his letter to his appointees,
both of whom are prominent in
Negro Republican party circles,
Governor Stassen said, 81 am re-
questing you to advise me regard
ing a sound manner to grant an
opportunity to our fellow citizens,
who are of the Negro race, to par
ticipate in the defense of our state
and nation in the emergencies that
are ahead of US, particularly aris-
ing through our National Guard
leaving our state to enter Federal
service" The Governors special
committee held several meetings in
the Twin Cities and in every one
of them they were severely con-
demned and thoroughly discredited
and the Governor himself was de-
nounced for insulting the Negroes
of the state, by the appointment of
a committee ito study sound and
sensible way in which Minnesota
Negroes can demonstrate their pa

COURAGEOUS!

After my appointment as State La- Dor Statistician, which placed me most of the time as the acting Labor Commissioner, the Child Labor Law was passed, and that gave the en- forcement of this law jointly in the hands of Judge Lindsey and the La Dor Department. His jurisdiction was the schools, stage children, etc., issu- ing permits while the labor depart ment had control over children in in- dustry. Naturally, there were many conferences between him and me on the proper enforcement of the law, all of them agreeable, and I got to know the judge quite we'll. A very courageous little man, ready to meet all corners in fight for the right. The politicians never again tried to beat him for the Democratic nomination for his office and it was not until the Ku Klux K1an got control of Colo rado politics that he was beaten by a Republican candidate. He is now, or was, serving as a District Judge al Los Angeles.
