the most widely known of the
sister papers. In 1850, EBONY
Magazine called the SPOKES-
MAN one of the IL outstanding
Negro papers in the us.
Each of the papers have played
important roles in advancing the
cause of the Negro communities
Of the Twin Cities for % years.
Contrary to sometime expressed
beliefs, neither of the publications
are the offshoots of any other
papers. Both were organized by
the present publisher as new en-
terprises.
The total capital of the papers
was the $65 final paycheck of
the founder Cecil Newman, who
for seven years prior to establish
ment of the two papers was CO.
founder and editor of the Twin
City HERALD, the weekly he left
to begin publication of the Spokes-
man and Recorder papers.
Total original office equipment
was one rented typewriter, a
battered wooden file case, a
typewriter desk loaned the paper
by the late j. Ed. Stewart, a
desk for the editor, and four
chairs, three Of them rented.
The st. Paul RECORDER office
was in the home of Robert Jones,
who served as first advertising
manager and organized newsboys
who picked up their copies and
sold them house to house in the
Sanity City.
The Minneapolis SPOKESMAN
office was a partitioned half OF

parlor, operated by the late Ellis

Well now, Big Jay again after
another week of beautiful golfing

like me, are out as much as possi-
BILE while it lasts.
The TC.G.A. news is beginning

Sec. Ewing are up in Duluth

Quite a course it is. If you break

am sure that they will make a
creditable showing for the golf
club.
President Saunders called me
and informed me about the plans
for Central States next year. At
least two of the new hostelries
have been negotiated and stand
ready to welcome the many golf
ers who will be in attendance next
summer.
This is the grandaddy of them
all for us and this will be a big
operation. I'm certainly glad to
see the club starting out on the
plans this far in advance.
1t will take at least six months
before we can feel that all avenues
are reasonably covered to assure
a successful tournament. This is
our first year of playing host, so
the carpet will be very red and
twice as long I'm sure. President
Saunders urges every member to
be prepared to devote his time

The papers were instrumental in
opening of the chief hotels in both
cities to Negro guests. The first
banquet given by Twin City Ne
groes in a large hotel was a testi-
monial given by 81 Negro organ

AN, the Minneapolis paper is
Usher and now his assistant, de-
livered large part of the original
300 subscribers their copies by
bike for quite few weeks.
Later copies were mailed with
IL cents postage for over two
years, before sufficient money was
available in 1886 to pay the $75
filing fee with the Postoffice for
second class mailing rights for the
SPOKESMAN. It was six months
later before the RECORDER was
able to make deposit of similar
fee in the st. Paul Postoffice.
A big factor in the early edi-
torial of the papers impact was
the late William M. Smith, who
left the Twin City Herald with
Cecil Newman continuing his re-
lationship as associate editor, the
same post he filled on the Herald.
Smith was an excellent writer who
copyread the young editors mater
ial, often toning it down.
Among others who went with
Newman was Nell DOdsOn, who
as Neil DOdsOn Russell became
one of the nations most prOvaca-
tive and outstanding women
writers. Neil Russell began writ
ing for Newman while student
at Central High school.
After leaving the cities she
worked on the Afro American
newspapers where she became the
first female sports writer in the
Negro press. She worked on the
Peoples Voice, in NY. and for
the Associated Negro Press.
Nell became disillusioned with
the Negro press returning to Min
neapolis. She served a stint as news
editor for the Spokesman & Re-
corder papers during World War
| II.
For a while after returning to
New York to live, she contributed
a highly read column "As I See
It." for several years. She now
sells pieces to a number of maga-
zines and every now and then
sends the Spokesman and Re-
corder an article or column.
Another famous alumnus of the
Spokesman and Recorder is Cor
don Parks, former LIFE photo
grapher who is rated as one of the
top ten photographers in the wide,
wide world. Gordon was circula-
ton manager Of these papers for
about year in which he snapped
more pictures, in a new found in
terest, than he sold subscriptions!
His first book a novel is scheduled
for publication this fall.
portant to keeping the
Spokesman and Recorder papers
going with practically no capital
was the sales ability of a tall
bronzed skinned young man by the
name of ArthAr Allen. He was a
tireless, convincing salesman who
would not take no, for an answer.
Often his sales were the difference
between victory and defeat for the
papers in the earlier years. Allen
is deceased.
The first office girl or secretary
was Dorothy Scott who is now
Mrs. La Mar Roberts, now a men,
Der of the Minneapolis Public
School staff. Dorothy got the
'munifent' salary of 81 per week
and often the payday was missed.
She worked a five and one-half
day week!

Editorial attacks on police brut-
aHty and the wholesale arrest of
Negroes when a crime had been
committed was another campaign
which the Spokesman and Re-
corder successfully carried on. It's
a rare instance these days when
a Twin City law enforcement Of
ficer is accused of brutality, in
spired by the race of an arrested
person.

and make mOneV
at it

What are you looking for when you invest your
money? Safety? A good return? A strong, reliable
company?
You get all three when you buy Savings Bonds
They're one of the safest investments in the
world, because they're backed by the credit of the
US. Government.
They pay you 331t% more money at maturity
than what you put in-money that can help send
a child to college or finance a new home
And what better company" is there than
America itself?
What's more, you get an extra benefit from
US. Savings Bonds that no other investment can
give you. The extra dividend" of strong, free
America. For America must be strong to be free.
Your Bond dollars help make it so.

For a long period in the early
days of the papers they were the
chief battering ram for jobs for
Negroes in the Twin Cities.
Many a Negro family owes its
stability to a job secured through
the efforts of the papers.

It's easy to buy Savings Bonds
on the installment plan. Just ask
your employer to set aside a regular
amount from your paycheck. Or
you can buy Savings Bonds at any
bank. You'll find you've made one
of the world 3 soundest investments
an investment in your future.
And you'll get more than your
money back.

In the business office early in

Hughes, who sold ads all over the

ler's book, THE Negro in Mime
sofa History" for her paper.

issues. Gus is the late publisher of
our contemporary Negro weeklies
in the Twin Cities.
The late Orrington C. Hall, men,
ber Of the staff Of the Ramsey
Register Of Deeds, was one of the
few contributing editors the pap
ers have had since their founding
20. c." contributed editorials on
st. Paul issues for about six
months, but finally had to give 1t
up as a regular task.
Charles L. Horn, industrialist
and philanthroptst was the first
mail subscriber. He began a long
friendship with Newman while he
was editor of the Twin City Her
aid and earning his living as a
Pullman porter.
This interest and friendship
continued up until the present
and resulted in the first break
the Twin City Negro got in en-
plOyment outside limited cate
gOries when Horns firm became
prime contractor for the Twin
Cities Ordinance Plant at New
Brighton.
The non discrimination prac-
tices at the plant resulted in the
employment of almost 1000 Ne
groes during the heighth of World
War II and resulted in President
Franklin Roosevelt appointing
Horn to the Presidents Fair EN-
ployment Practices Committee, the
first of the FEPCs which have
sprung up all over the country.
TCOP changed the entire en-
ployment picture as it effected
Negro manpower participation in
the whole upper midwest.
AS the papers grew and the
debts piled up a young woman
showed up on the scene who
created a semblance of order. She
was De Velma Strong, who later
became De Velma Newman, for 20
years, but who has since divorced
the publisher.
De Velma, set up a bOOkkeep-
ing system, insisted upon the es-
tablishment Of checking ac-
count, record keeping, and
brought order out of chaos. She
was a favOrite Of most employees
because she usually took their
part against the sometimes crus-
tiness and tantrumS Of the edi-
tor and publisher.
She left the business for several
years in the late Forties returning
in 1857 and remaining until July
1861.
The papers have always been
crClsading organs, mixing a staunch
advocacy Of the rights of the Ne
groes with insistence that the Ne
gro has to do his part, accept his
responsibilities also.
In 20 year period, the edi-
tOrials of the two papers have
been widely quoted in both the
weekly and daily press.
Many whites and a few Negroes
also have always regarded the
paper as too radical, yet some OF
the most conservative leaders in
each of the two cities read the
paper each week.
In recent years, some of the Ne
gro community have claimed the
papers have grown soft" but few
enemies of Negro progress have
the same view.
Another early staff member was
Estyr Bradley who worked on the
Twin City Herald while she was
still in high school and joined the
Spokesman and Recorder staff
near its beginning and remained
on it until World War II, when
she resigned. She is one of the
best known writers in the Twin
City area.
