THE REV. JOHN ADAMS, Sr.,
for ~ years a practicing attorney Of
Omaha and who stands well UP in
his profession over the nation, is
bringing his campaign for election to
a sweeping close. MI. Adams is
Field Director of AME. churches for
Nebraska and Kansas. The father
Of John Adams, Jr-, now serving in
the army. 1t will be the first time
if elected, a father has Succeeded
the son in so high an office in this
state. The Rev. Mr. Adams is fair
with his constituents. He takes the
position that a candidate for the Ne
braska State Senate, Should and
must be strictly non-partisan. Mat
tiers not how strenuous the campaign
an honest candidate must win or lose
on that stand. In his campaign
Speeches, at his headquarters, with
his staff and on the streets in priv
ate conversation he emphasizes that
if elected h will be ethe servant of
all the people without regard to race
religion, or politics. While Mr.
Adams, in this campaign is non-part-
isan, he believes that the groups com
posing our state bodypolitic, Should
have representation in the law max
ing body that controls their econom
ic and political destiny and that it
will be a calamity to the Negro for
present and post war purposes if he
should not have a seat in the determ-
ing body for that period. He is
firm in the position that the cause
of any people, is best Served by one
of that particular group rather than
by one alien to its feeling and prob
lens. The Rev. John Adams, Sr.,
has hundreds and thousands of
friends and we'll wishers among both
races in Omaha and confidently ex-
poets election. In closing his ad-
dresses when talking about his cam
paign, he always urges registration

DuBoise Hits
Colonial Issues
At State Conference

Washington, DC-,-In a statement
to the conference Of Americans Uni
ted for World Organization, held at
the Department of State, October 16
in which several hundred were in at
tendance, DR.. w. E. B. Dubois, rep
resenting the NAACP, raised the
whole issue of colonies and imperial
ism bringing out the ~inadequacy Of
proposals. made on each.
Basing his Summary remarks on
study of the published proposals of
the Dumbarton Oaks Conference, in
regard to Colonials, DIR. Dubois Said
1T virtually says to six hundred mil
lion human beings, if not to a mai
ority of mankind, that the only way
to human equality is the philanthropy
of masters who have historic and
strong interest in preserving their
present power and income" In out
lining precisely, details for the basis
of this conclusion, DR.. Dubois elab-
GRATED as follows:
"As have gone through the pub
lished proposals at Dumbarton Oaks,
| am depressed to realize with what
consistency the matter of ~colonials
ahve been passed over. In chapter
one, paragraph three, the emphasis is
on the fact that this is a union Of ma
tons, not Of races, groups, or organ
izatio1s OF men, not recognized as
natoins in chapter two, paragraph one
peace-loving States alone may join
in the Union; in chapter six, appar-
emily al aggrrieved party must be a
State in order to cmoplain or appear
before the council Similarly in chap
ter seven, no colonies as Such can
appeal for hearing before the Inter
national Court of Justice. Elaborate
effort is made to protect states from
aggression, but | find no provisions
in chapter Seven even to consider ag-
gression of a nation on its own col
onial peoples while apparently inter-
national military force can be called
in to suppress revolt. Indeed in par
agraph Seven of that chapter, it
seems definitely to say that colonial
disputes lie entirely beyond the jur-
isdiction of this proposed govern
ment of men. The Economic and
Social Council set up in this chapter
offers some ray Of hope: it can rec
ommend and consider complaints and
situations but there is no direct pow
Ell to investigate conditions. The
Council is appointed by eighteen stat
es with no colonial participation in
dicated."
Among organization representative
es, DR.. Dubois was one Of the few
recognized for a Statement, by I'm
der Secretary of State, Stettinius.
Judge William H. HASTE also repre-
sented the NAACP at this meeting,
designed for discussion, relative to
proposal for an International organ-
ization to maintain peace and secur-
ity.

"What Kind of America
Will We Have After the
Victory is Major Decision

Congressman Everett M. Dirksen,
Of Illinois, recognized as one Of the
most brilliant orators in the U. S.
House of Representatives, told a
cheering crowd attending the first
big criy-wide Republican Rally at the
Omaha City Auditorium last week,
that the major decision Of the Nov
embe- Z election will be what kind
of an America will we have after
Victory.
"Tne issue is. whether European
ideologies are accepted or rejected by
the free choice of the American peo-
ne, Congressman Dirksen declared.
Appealing to Nebraskans not to be
Satisfied only with the prospect Of
Victory on Election day, Congress
man Dirksen urged them ito get out
so great a vote that it will be over
whelming evidence that your state re-
jects, once and for all, the foreign
ideologies that have become attached
to the New Dial in its dying days.
by demeannig the dignity Of the
Individual and developing the mass
technique, the Democratic Admins
tration is attempting to foist upon
America the same pattern of the die
tator nations, Congressman Dirksen
asserted, IF and when freedom, OF
any part of freedom is leached away
from us, what kind Of an accounting
can we make to those boys in uni
form when they come back, he Said.
Pointing out that despite all the
New Deals 'make-shift attempts to
deal with unemployment before the
war. we found ourselves still nursing
10 million unemployment in 1940",
CONGRESSMAN Dirksen said this is
the best answer to the question of
whether the New Deal has the cap
acity tc find jobs for soldiers after
the var and for war workers after
their rehabilitation from war plants.
Referring to the alleged doctrine
Of "she indispensable man., Con-
gresham Dirksen commented: The
only Indispensable mar | know of
was Adam"
Saying Victory was not the ques-
ton at all on election day, Congress
man Dirksen said Everybody knows
victory is the product Of precise
Science BY men skilled in the art Of
war and prepared to Serve equally
well under either candidate for pres
ident."
Recalling discussion in the WPB
dispute between Vice President Wal
lace and Jesse Jones " conduct
Of the Board Of Economic Warfare,
Congressman Dirksen asked how
can we hope to answer the vital post
war questions without unity CT adj
ministrativc leadership"
New blood is needed today, and
needed badly. And on November z
the people Of America will deliver
the TRANSMISSION by the election Of
Thomas E. Dewey, he concluded.
An ovation was given Nebraska
Congressman Howard Buffet, who
had introduced Mr.. Dirksen, when
the latter, during the course of his
address, told the Auditorium Rally
that in Washington Congressman
Buffet is regarded as one Of the
keenest legislative minds, destined
to move up the ladder. He denounc
ed attempts by Vice President Wal
lace and Communist elements to die
tate to the people of Nebraska on
whom they shall elect as their repre-
sentative in Congress"
State Candidates were introduced
at The rally by Republican State

that this policy will be extended to
