From the age of the blackface minstrel show, this is the cover and a remaining page of sheet music for Shake That Thing by Papa Charlie Jackson. It features Bernie Schultz and his Crescent Orchestra in photo on front with a faint blue Sample Copy stamped above it; the graphic illustration By Starmer is what used to be called a Coon Dancer in top hat with cane, Tux Spatz & Gloves & Diamond Pin with a TINY old coon dancer with white beard, a cast on his leg, and crutches beneath him who did a little too much 'shakin' that thing...'.

Info on him:
Anton Cermak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anton Joseph Cermak 44th Mayor of Chicago In office 1931 – 1933 until his assassination by Giuseppe Zangara in 1933.
Preceded by William Hale Thompson
Succeeded by Frank J. Corr
Czech heritage, one in the list of Assassinated American politicians.
Born April 1, 1873 Kladno, Bohemia
Died March 6, 1933 (aged 59)Miami, Fl Political party Democratic
Spouse Mary Horejs Cermak
Religion Catholic
Early life and career
Born in Kladno, Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic), Cermak emigrated with his parents to the United States in 1874. He began his political career as a precinct captain and in 1902 was elected to the Illinois state legislature. Seven years later, he would take his place as alderman of the 12th Ward (Bridgeport, the home base of future mayors Richard J. Daley, Michael Bilandic and Daley's son Richard M. Daley). Cermak was elected president of the Cook County Board of Commissioners in 1922-1931 (Preceded by Daniel Ryan & Succeeded by Emmett Whealan), chairman of the Cook County Democratic Party in 1928, and mayor of Chicago in 1931. In 1928 he ran for the United States Senate and was defeated by Republican Otis F. Glenn, receiving 46% of the vote.
Campaign for Mayor
His mayoral victory came in the wake of the Great Depression and the deep resentment many Chicagoans had of Prohibition and the increasing violence resulting from organized crime's control of Chicago, typified by the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
The many ethnic groups such as Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians, Jews, Italians, and African Americans began to settle in Chicago in the early 1900s and were mostly detached from the political system, due in part to lack of organization which led to underrepresentation in the City Council. As an immigrant himself, Cermak recognized Chicago's relatively-new immigrants as a significant population of disenfranchised voters and a large power base for Cermak and his local Democratic organization.
Before Cermak, the Democratic party in Cook County was run by the 'Lace Curtain' Irish, who generally despised everyone who wasn't 'Lace Curtain', including the Irish from the Back of the Yards and Bridgeport neighborhoods, who were commonly referred to as 'Pig Shit' Irish. As Cermak climbed the local political ladder, the resentment of the Lace Curtain group grew. When the bosses rejected his bid to become the mayoral candidate, Cermak swore revenge. That is when he formed his non-Irish political army and eventually wooed black politician William L. Dawson to switch from the Republican to the Democratic Party. Dawson would go on to become a US Congressman (from the 1st District) and soon the most powerful black politician in Illinois.
Cermak's political and organizational skills helped create one of the most powerful political organizations of his day, and Cermak is considered the father of Chicago's Democratic machine. With support from Franklin D. Roosevelt on the national level, Cermak gradually wooed members of Chicago's growing black community into the Democratic fold.
When Cermak challenged the incumbent 'Big Bill' Thompson in the 1931 mayor's race, Thompson, representative of Chicago's existing power structure, responded with ethnic slurs:
I won't take a back seat to that Bohunk, Chairmock, Chermack or whatever his name is.
Tony, Tony, where's your pushcart at?
Can you picture a World's Fair mayor?
With a name like that?
Cermak's reply, "He doesn't like my name... it's true I didn't come over on the Mayflower, but I came over as soon as I could." It was a sentiment to which ethnic Chicagoans could relate and Thompson's slur largely backfired.
The flamboyant Thompson's reputation as a buffoon and the voters' disgust with the corruption of his machine and his inability or unwillingness to clean up organized crime in Chicago were cited as major factors in Cermak capturing 58% of the vote in the mayoral election on April 6, 1931. Cermak's victory finished Thompson as a political power and largely ended the Republican Party's power in Chicago – no Republican has held the office of mayor of Chicago since Thompson's exit in 1931.
Mayor
For nearly his entire administration, Cermak had to deal with a major tax revolt. From 1931 to 1933, the Association of Real Estate Taxpayers mounted a "tax strike." At its height, ARET, which was headed by John M. Pratt and James E. Bistor, had over thirty thousand members. Much to Cermak's dismay, it successfully slowed down the collection of real estate taxes through litigation and promoting refusal to pay. In the meantime, the city found it difficult to pay teachers and maintain services.
Assassination
While shaking hands with President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt at Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida, on February 15, 1933, Cermak was shot in the lung and seriously wounded when Giuseppe Zangara, who attempted to assassinate Roosevelt, hit Cermak instead.
Later, rumors circulated that Cermak, not Roosevelt, had been the intended target, as his promise to clean up Chicago's rampant lawlessness posed a threat to Al Capone and the Chicago organized crime syndicate. According to Roosevelt biographer Jean Edward Smith, there is no proof for this theory. One of the first people to suggest the organized crime theory was reporter Walter Winchell, who happened to be in Miami the evening of the shooting. At the critical moment, Lilian Cross, a doctor's wife, hit Zangara's arm with her purse and spoiled his aim. In addition to Cermak, Zangara hit four other people, one of whom, a woman, also died of her injuries. Zangara told the police that he hated rich and powerful people, but not Roosevelt personally. Cermak was quoted as saying "I'm glad it was me instead of you" to Roosevelt while headed to the hospital.
Long-time Chicago newsman Len O'Connor offers a different view of the events surrounding Cermak's death. He has written that aldermen "Paddy" Bauler and Charlie Weber informed him that relations between Cermak and FDR were strained because Cermak fought FDR's nomination at the Democratic convention in Chicago, and the legend that his last words were "I'm glad it was me instead of you" was, according to O'Connor, totally fabricated by Weber and Bauler.
Death
Cermak died of his wounds on March 6 and was interred at Bohemian National Cemetery in Chicago. The mayor's death was followed by a struggle for succession to his party chairmanship and to the mayor's office.
A plaque honoring Cermak still lies at the site of the assassination in Miami's Bayfront Park. It is inscribed with Cermak's words to FDR after he was shot, "I'm glad it was me instead of you."
Following Cermak's death, 22nd Street, a major east-west artery that traversed Chicago's West Side and the close-in suburbs of Cicero and Berwyn, areas with a significant Czech population, was renamed Cermak Road.
In 1943, a Liberty ship, the SS A. J. Cermak was named after Cermak. It was scrapped in 1964.
Cermak's son-in-law, Otto Kerner, Jr., was governor of Illinois and a federal circuit judge.
Relatives of Cermak still live in the Chicago area to this day.
In popular culture
A hastily produced movie about Cermak, The Man Who Dared, was released within months of his death. Further, there was a made for TV movie, The Gun of Zangara, about Cermak's assassination. It was originally a two-part episode of The Untouchables, where it had the title "The Unhired Assassin."

Early Americana, song about God blessing the Ku Klux Klan & their agenda, their committment to the U.S. flag & the solidarity of Klansmen & their domain, despite being despised in some quarters... Cover very graphic, Artist O.P.Lee? (hard to read calligraphy, possibly Chinese influence?) showing hooded klansmen standing around cross.

Great ad on the back for Phonograph Records for this song sung by a '100% male quartet' addressed to 'THE AMERICAN' in Indianapolis. Also COMPLIMENTARY COPY Stamped Twice.
Part of our history folks, & yet not that far removed from today. I was raised near the local Klan Grand Dragon in the 60's south of Indianapolis, in Greenwood, & the atmosphere there & then was easily identical to this song written long before. It seems to have currently changed(the area is booming, with Many Many folks of all races streaming in, including several foreign manufacturing plants & businesses, & lots of 'non-Christians' making up the local economy. They seem to be welcomed by the long-time locals, but how can we know others' hearts? A great deal of prayer is still needed in this area of race relations all across America, even with a Black/Hawaiian President...

Presidential Sheet Music: An Illustrated Catalogue of Published Music Associated with the American Presidency and Those Who Sought the Office, by Danny O. Crew . 816pp. 248 photographs, appendix, bibliography, title and composer indexes,library binding 2001
Political historians have traditionally interpreted the people and events of each presidential era by studying books, periodicals, letters, diaries and speeches. One source of printed material that has not received much scholarly attention is published music, much of which has been all but lost in the archives of libraries and museums. The traditional librarianly cataloguing of music has ignored important aspects such as lyrical content and cover art, making it impossible to comprehensively locate and study items by subject matter. Presidential Sheet Music presents an exhaustive listing of presidential-related music in all printed forms, and provides information on each piece. Thus may we expand our understanding of political communication and discourse throughout American history. A sizable Introduction discusses matters from the publication in 1768 of The Liberty Song (which formally made music an instrument of political expression in America) to the few 1980s and 1990s presidential songs and marches. There are also helpful appendices which list music by titles, composers, publishers, and candidates.

Danny O. Crew has been collecting political memorabilia since 1975, specializing in political music. His personal collection exceeds 6,000 pieces. Two-thirds of the music documented in this catalogue is from his personal collection. He has written a number of articles on the subject and has been featured on ABCs Good Morning America. He is also the author of Ku Klux Klan Sheet Music: An Illustrated Catalogue of Published Music, 1867–2002 (2003, $45) and Suffragist Sheet Music (2002, $45).

Reviews:
"Crew is a diligent historian who has created a unique, interesting book...can’t be ignored"—Classic Images; "recommended"—Booklist/RBB; "comprehensive"—C&RL News; "exhaustive"—Florida State Times. OP $95. Check out to verify it...This one is a Second - there are 6 pages in the song indices that are misaligned but readable. If you can live with it, save $40. God Bless America, & all her living Presidents...
