WOMAN RETAINED
IN THE OFFICE OF
OH CLERK HERE
Mrs. Lucille Elliott Weber was ap
pointed by City Clerk Olson to assist
in making the new registration of
voters. A white lady prominent in
local religious and welfare circles re
ceived a similar appointment. At
first the • duties of the ladies kept
them apart. Later Mr. Olson assigned
them to counter duty, working side
by side. The Christian white lady
told Mr. Olson she “could not stom
ach" the idea of working beside a
colored woman. Mr. Olson told her
he did not like that brand of religion,
and that she could quit if she wished,
as Mrs. Weber was giving satisfaction
and was apt to remain quite a while.
The “nice Christian" lady resigned.
Mrs. Weber is still at her desk.
City Clerk Olson was put into of
fice by Mayor Nelson and his friends.
It is whispered that the mayor or his
friends are Ku Kluxers. Answer for
yourself. Is the above related act the
doings of Ku Kluxers?

Man of Action
Our Way of Light on St. Anthony

miles each way, those on Fuller, Cen

front of all our churches and public
buildings, on Rondo street, lights not
only on corners, but at the center of
blocks for a mile, are but a few of
Commissioner McDonald’s activities
in our district.
How refreshing to be able to sup
port and assist in every way possible
to keep in office a public servant
whose actions bespeak his praise
louder than words.

DELEGATES MEET
IT REPUBLICAN
STATE SESSION
Anti-mob Resolution Is Adopted
by Convention in St. Paul
Saturday.
With the Twin Cities Republican
bowing to the mandates of the
country districts, harmony reigned
supreme throughout the Republican
state convention held on Saturday
last in St. Paul. Each congressional
district was given a delegate-at-large
to the national convention, thus elim
inating the chances of a delegate
from our group. However, our dele
gates were on the Job and by excel
lent team work were able to have the
resolution presented by Fred D. Mc-
Cracken calling for national anti
ljnching legislation adopted by the
convention. Out of about 50 resolu
tions presented, this was one of the
four adopted.
The race delegates were Mrs. Eu
gene Gough, Mrs. Wm. T. Francis
and Fred D. McCracken of St. Paul,
George Kelly of Duluth and Fred
Jemiaon of Minneapolis.
(Presented by Fred D. McCracken,
Delegate Ramsey County, Minnesota)

OPPOSITION FOR

UNDER QUESTION
Candidates Lined Up for first
Best of Office Race at Pri
maries Tuesday.
Tuesday is the day for the pri
maries in St. Paul, at which time the
strength of v&riouß candidates will be
known. One of the keenest competa
tive races for Mayor, Councilmen and
Judges in the history of the city is
predicted. The various candidates
are marshaling every iota of strength
to receive nomination for office. Noth
ing is being spared to produce all
available votes at the polls by the
contending factions.
To several of the candidates this
Is a first attempt in the big political
whirl, but many seeking office are
seasoned men in public service, some
varying from two to fifteen years of
political experience.
The chief fight seems to be revolv
ing around Mayor Arthur E. Nelson,
seeking re-election, and hts opponent,
George L. Siegel, who is indorsed by
the labor Non-Partisan League. Both
sides are trying to put over their can
didate in great style.
Aiding the Mayor.
Organization of a volunteer “Nel
son for Mayor” committee was per
fected at a meeting of civic club
representatives and residents from
the various sections of the city Tues
day night.
The organization of this committee
unofficially launches Mayor Nelson’s
campaign for re-election, according
to Carl W. Cummins, one of the
speakers at the meeting.
The city will be thoroughly organ
ized for the coming mayoralty cam
paign. Block and precinct organisa
tions, which will clear through the
ward campaign organisations, will be
organised this week.
With a full vote at the primary
and final election, it was emphasised
by Mr. Cummins, it is virtually cer
tain that Mayor Nelson will be re
elected.
“To change horses in the middle
of the stream would be a matter of
serious consequences," Mr. Cummins
said. “Mayor Nelson has given St.
Paul the best, most efficient and
most progressive city administration
in the history of St. Paul."
Labor Making Fight.
George L. Siegel is being b&ked
by the working men under the lead
ership of Frank Fisher, chairman.
This organization is working strenu
ously to secure adequate support for
their aspirant at the primaries. Mr.
Siegel, who is an attorney, is consid
ered a very formidable opponent for
the present Mayor. Although he is
making a game fight, his popularity
cannot be definitely ascertained until
returns are made after the primary
election Tuesday. The labor party
has received great strength owing to
the election of Senators Henrick
Shipstead and Magnus Johnson.
Both’ Mayor Nelson and Mr. Siegel
are being backed by strong support
and many are agreed that Tuesday’s
battle will be very excitable.
The registration statistics show
that if all registered voters use the
ballot there will be a lively fight on
for ail municipal offices.
9th ward dub of
