confronted. Then there was the
period during the Civil War that
produced such staunch progressives
as Harriet Tubman and Frederick
Douglas. Negroes gathering in
small groups in the South-Negro
and whites in the Eastern and
Northern states met to work out
their particular political problems
and what could be done. And to-
day, as history marches along free
dom's road, we saw another group
gathering at the Pioneer Hall in
st. Paul, Sunday, Jan. IA, when
cross section of our society and
people representing every political
shade of opinion were gathered to
honor a great citizen, Frank Boyd,
Democratic presidential elector, the
first Negro to be chosen as such in
the State of Minnesota and incident
ally, there are just three others in
the nation.
Progressive Republicans, pro-
gressive Democrats, old time Farm
er Laborites, Trade Union people,
men of the clergy, people represent
ing racial or national groups, were
all gathered to pay tribute to this
sincere honest citizen.
AS I sat there listening to the
testimony given Mr.. Boyd, my
thoughts went back to the days of
reconstruction in the South-where
the citizens of that part of the coun-
try had a real working democracy
where black and white worked to-
getlIer and made sacrifices to send
their delegates to Congress. If the
people of that day had had the
broad range of political understand
ing that we are having at this
gathering today, how different
things might be today.
Maceo Littlejohn's tribute to Mr..
Boyd and to the liberal movement
in Minnesota, Vienna Johnson's de-
mand on national unity and integra-
ton of so-called minorities into
our overall society-the work Mr..
ORR Hall did on finances, and Bill
Herron's reference to our building
democracy, all of this was a sign
of progress up Freedoms road.
When Mr.. Boyd arose to speak
he was overcome with emotion. He
was pleased with the support Of
the citizens.-Nellie Stone, 3437

MANILA, Sept. 7. - Japan's

Russians, Brig. Gen. Charles C.
Drake of Washington, D. c., said
on his arrival here today after
being freed from a Mukden
prison.
The American officer, who was
Gen. Wainwright's quartermaster on
Bataan and Corregidor, said he
wished all japanese armies could
have been as thoroughly beaten on
the field as that in Manchuria.

He said most of his field officers
