Odle, who is a candidate for county attorney, subject to the primaries in June. Mr. Odle was born in Illinois in 1870 and was educated in the public schools. Later he attended the Greer college at Hoopen堡, Ill., after which he came to Iowa and entered Drake university and graduated from the law department of that university in 1907, was admitted to the bar and has been practicing ever since. Mr. Odle comes from one of the old abolition families. His father, Mr. Miles Odle, who was a soldier in the civil war. He is a high-minded, well qualified young man and coming from the common walks of life as he has, he is in close sympathy with the laboring people, and if nominated will treat all classes with equal justice, as has been his past experience. He therefore solicits your support next Monday. FISHER FOR SUPERVISOR Mr. A. C. Fisher, one of the present members of the board of supervisors from the Fifth district. He has made an honest, earnest canvass for his renomination and by virtue of his many years of service and long life spent in Saylor township on the farm and with his present knowledge of the things of the county, he is the best qualified man from that district at present to become a member of the county board. He has always been a true friend to the colored people and merits their support next Monday. DE GRAFF FOR JUDGE Hon. Lawrence De Graff, one of the present members of the bench, is a candidate for renomination on the non-partisan ticket. Mr. De Graff has been on the bench for several years and merits the support of this county by his square dealings and honest decisions. He is an honest, high-minded, Christian gentleman of high ideals and his many friends are asking your support as one of the judges of this district. GRIFFIN FOR SHERIFF This week we take pleasure in presenting to our readers the true likeness of John Griffin, the present sheriff of Polk county, who is a candidate for renomination for his second term. Mr. Griffin has made an excellent sheriff. He has been fair and honest to all classes of people. He has a colored man in his department in the person of Mr. W. T. Jones and his many friends are urging upon you his support. He is a County boy, having been born and raised here, and we assure you that he will make a most excellent sheriff, as he has already done, if given your support Monday. BRENNAN FOR JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT Hon. Hugh Brennan, one of the present members of the district bench, is a candidate for renomination, subject to the primaries June 1st on a non-partisan ticket. Judge Brennan has served on the bench for the past ten years and has made a splendid, good jurist, honest, careful, judicious and conscientious with all cases. He has lived in Polk county for the past forty-six years and has practiced law since 1878. His life is an open record to the citizens of Polk county. J. M. McNAMARA. J. M. McNamara is known as one of the successful business men of this city. Just the kind of a man that ought to be in the legislature. His word is as good as a gold bond; his enthusiasm is contagious and he works all the time for a greater Des Moines. He is generous and fair. If you ask the men who are in business with him they will tell you that he is the squarest man they ever met. Just try it. See what his M. H. M. help says about him. That is a good way to test a man. They have a way of distributing something of the profits at the end of the year in the form of extra checks, dependent upon the volume of business done during the past year. A plan that is so generous, so fair to the people who work for them that every one of them becomes a lasting friend to Mr. McNamara, and to the firms with which he is connected. He is broad-minded, clean-handed, generous and so liberal with his giving that he is known as one of the supporters of dozens of worthy causes in this city. He is a republican who believes in the party. He is a worker for friends. No friend ever found him wanting. No friend ever knew him to betray a confidence. A committee working in his behalf has found that the business men want him in the legislature because they know he will urge business methods and same laws. If we had more of his kind in the lowat legislature it would be better for state, city and country, alike. Vote for him. He is worthy of your support. MYERLY FOR CONGRESS. We take pleasure in presenting to our readers the familiar face of Hon. Joseph I, Myerly, who is a candidate for congress from the Seventh congressional district, subject to the primaries next Monday. Mr. Myerly is one of our well known and highly esteemed citizens, having been born, raised and educated in Polk county. His father moved from Warren county here. Mr. Myerly is a lawyer and at present is a member of the city council, having been elected recently at our city election by the largest majority of any of the commissioners, and has charge of the department of streets and public improvements. He has made one of the best commissioners we have had under our new form of city administration. He is a true and tried friend of the colored people as is demonstrated by the fact that he has more colored employees in his department than any other commits- 1910 SENATOR ARTHUR C. SAVAGE OF ADAIR. Republican Candidate for United States Senator. Senator Savage of Adair is one of the brilliant young republicans of Iowa. He is a republican of the type which has made the party great. He J. E. (AL) DeVORE, CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY TREASURER. J. E. DeVore, better known as "Al," was born in Marion county. He has resided in Polk county the past forty years. Al has had fourteen years' experience as a deputy and clerk in the county treasurer's office, having served under Treasurers Dilworth, Murphy, McKay, Murrow and Dobson. He has never held a public elective office and was never a candidate for one. He is a member of the Masons, K. P.'s, Elks, Eagles, Owls, and was formerly a member of the Moose and Woodmen. Al is also a son of a veteran, has always been a republican and is thoroughly competent to fill the office he seeks. Al is a good friend of the colored race and can be depended upon to give us a square deal if elected. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank my friends who so freely and kindly assisted me during the illness and death of my beloved mother. L. J. Ehelton. sioner, which has been true of Mr. Myerly in all his public and official capacity. He was postmaster of our city for several years and all through his life in Des Moines he has shown the spirit of square dealings and justice with all classes of people. He raised and educated a family in North Des Moines. By age, experience in public affairs and qualifications there is no candidate upon the republican ticket who is more eminently fitted for the high office of congressman than Hon. Joseph I. Myerly, and his many friends, both colored and white, are using all honest means to secure his nomination next Monday, and they especially solicit your aid and support in his behalf, and we feel safe in saying that if elected to congress the colored people from this district will have a true and tried friend that will stand by them and their interests upon all occasions. Therefore he will appreciate any support that you may give him. THE NEW YORKER s imbued with the principles which made the republican party a power in the past, made it the party of liberty, of freedom and of equality to all men. Senator Savage is the Abraham Lincoln type of republican. He believes in the principles which General Grant and William McKinley fought for. He believes in the protective tariff, which means higher wages and more work for our people and prosperity for our whole nation. If elected he will do much for the people of our state. You should remember that his opponent, Cummins, voted to place the educational advantages of the country outside of the grasp of our colored boys and girls in the south and was one of the only two republican senators who took such an unfair stand. You will make no mistake if, on June 1, next Monday, you will go to the polls and vote for Arthur C. Savage for United States senator on the republican ticket. 190 Born in Polk county, Iowa, April 19, 1867. Has held many positions of trust. Has been associated in some form or another with the industrial or business life of the city for years, and his record is known to everyone. He is president of Confidence lodge, No. 102, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers. The business that passes through the court of Polk county is enormous. That the affairs of such moment should be kept close track of, and the records be made accurate to the minute detail is a thing which every voter will not only concede without argument, but in which he is vitally interested. The accuracy of the records is largely dependent upon the ability of one man, the clerk of the district court. If he is competent and painstaking, all is well; if not, chaos soon reigns and the legal affairs of the county are soon in a muddle. Mr. Fred L. Barnett is highly qualified and experienced to be clerk of the district court of Polk county. He is a true friend of the colored people and merits their undivided support. His many friends solicit your vote for him Monday. OTTO PEEL FOR CONSTABLE. Lee township has produced her full quota of candidates for constables for this year. One of the most prominent in the list is Otto Peel, well known member of the clerk's union. Friend Peel has been a party worker for twenty years, has made a pronounced success as inspector in the department of streets and as bailiff for the county court. He is fully conversant with the duties of the office to which he aspires and would make a valuable and trustworthy official. From the standpoint of integrity and good repute, the name of Otto Peel stands high wherever he is known. He is one of the best known citizens in Lee township, and from the list of friends which he enjoys, and the enthusiasm in his candidacy which they display, it is the most reasonable of assumptions that he will be successful in his efforts for nomination to this office. IOWA WOMEN'S FEDERATION. IOWA WOMEN'S FEDERATION. This week our city has been entertaining the Iowa Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, which numbers fully forty clubs, with more than eighty delegates present from all parts of the state. It was indeed a very large attendance, as well as a successful session. There was much good accomplished and great enthusiasm. All reports were encouraging and the ladies were benefited by the continued success of this organization. The gatherings were largely attended and the papers were worthy and showed much thought in preparation. We look upon this organization as one of the potent factors in the advancement of our race in the northwest and we only bespeak that it is our hope that the good work those women are doing will continue and develop until it reaches every nook and corner of our state, benefiting hu- Price Five Cents. manity and elevating the race. MASONS TO LAY THE Y. M. C. A. CORNER STONE The Masons of Missouri will on next Sunday lay the corner stone of the -100,000 Y. M. C. A. building and Hon. Nelson C. Crews, the grand master, invited the grand master of Iowa to be present. Fully 800 master Masons will be in line, with 200 commanderym in uniform. Those who will go from Iowa are John L. Thompson, G. M.; H. E. Williams of Otumwa, deputy G. M.; S. Joe Brown, S. G.; Hurbert E. Jacobs, P. S. G. and g Auditor; Atty. J. B. Rush, W. M. of North Star of Des Moines; W. J. Shepard, P. G. custodian of Buxton, and Benj. J. Hack of Des Moines. OUR CITY PRIMARIES On next Monday the voters of Iowa will be called upon to express their choice as to candidates on the various places to be filled upon the ticket at this coming November election and it behooves every voter to go to the polls and express their preference as to the various candidates who are soliciting your support. The Iowa State Bystander has from time to time published a list of candidates upon the republican ticket who are soliciting your support for nomination and are running such a list again this week. We are asking our colored voters to read this list over and make your selection from those who have been broad enough and willing to give your race paper their announcement cards and write-ups. Feeling that those who do not care to give colored newspapers their part of the announcement are not soliciting the least of your support and perhaps do not care much about your vote. While we have run a large number of candidates and have solicited from all our candidates in the county, we feel it no more than just that the names who do not appear in this list would not advertise with us and did with the other newspapers, so when you go to the polls Monday remember this list and make your selection from those whose names are published in The Bystanderr. BARBER FOR LIEUTENANT GOV- ERNOR W. C. Barber of Des Moines is a candidate for lieutenant governor, subject to the republican primary next Monday. He is a good, reliable, honest, clean, high-minded citizen, well qualified by age and experience. He stands for high morals and is a strong temperance man. He is a friend to all worthy struggling humanity who are trying to live a higher and better life. He solicits your vote Monday. United States Senator. Albert B. Cummins. Arthur C. Savage. Governor.

Even in its erude form his device ‘worked successfully. Between obser- vations he noticed that the hydraulic devices which were depended on to turn the turrets were not altogether satisfactory, That pleased him. He had an electrical turret turning mo- ‘tor on the fire. Fiske was pained to observe that the American gunners not only fired slowly, but were inaccurate, although he could seo that the men were cool ‘nd systematic as they worked about the guns, He noted » good many other things, all of which notations bore results.

Fiske thought then—and has never changed his opin fon—that the American fleet was but tho instrument of a higher power. Given ordinary battle judgment on tbe part of the Spanish admiral and he fears that not an American ship would ever have got out of Manila bay. But he tempera his criticism of the bad shooting of the Americans with en- thusastic praise of the Americans themselves.

It is a touching scene to gaze updh a mother fondling her baby as we so often see painted the picture of the Madonna, and as Louise M, Alcott has written: “A fair Ma- donna, golden haired, whose soft eyes seem to brood upon the child whose little hands crowned her with moth-| erhood, Sainted by death, yet bound | to earth by its most tender ties, for life has yielded up to her its sacred mysteries.

Mother, dear mother, the years have been long, Since I last listened to your lullaby song; Sing then and unto my soul it shall seem Womanhood’s years has been only a dream, Clasp to your heart in one loving em- brace, With your light lashes just sweeping my face, Never hereafter to wake or weep, Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep.

The report from all parts of the county would indicate that Judge Lee was going to poll a tremendous vote here, but hardly anyone believed that the vote for him was going to be as unanimous as the Ross township vote would indicate. HONEST, STRONG, ABLE AND COURAGEOUS. Senator D. C. Chase, in Webster City Herald.—Those in this district who have seen Judge Lee on the beach have been impressed with the fact that in the first place he is clear sighted mentally and in the second place he has what is exceedingly rare in any public man, the courage of his convictions. If he thinks a case should be taken from the jury he takes it from the jury and directs a verdict accordingly. The great trouble with nearly all public men is that they are afraid to do what is right and what they know to be right, by reason of a calculation of chances which affects them personally and intimately. Judge Lee is of the type of man who has the ability to brush away all sophistries and look at a question in its elemental aspects and more than that, he has the courage to accept responsibility for a decision along those lines. He is of that type of men which is very rare; intellectually honest and brave enough to go wherever his honest judgment leads him. Judge Lee has a strong and original mind and no man would influence him in arriving at his conclusions; he is not as one who has to lean upon a staff for support, but is strong and able and walks alone and upright; he is known in his own judicial district as not only a man of genial disposition; but a man of rare ability and unquestioned intellectual courage; he is regarded as a just judge and a fearless one. No higher encomium could be paid to anyone. Not only that, but he is a man of broad and comprehensive views; a philosopher and an optimist, a believer in all the progress which makes for the betterment of the human race; he understands public questions, and above all he is not afraid. Without inaugurating any comparisons, it is enough to say that in all the essentials Judge Lee is the equal of any man who seeks the governorship or who has sought it for many years. He is a strong man in all the word implies; not only strong but dependable and getatable; a thoroughly sane, deep-thinking, independent and sympathetic man; of full stature and equal to the demands of the governorship; moreover he would be governor in fact.

The campaign is near the close. Mr. Dowell's friends have made a clean, honest fight, and we firmly believe their candidate will be nominated. Mr. Dowell has been an active figure in county, city and state affairs for a good many years, nine years in the Iowa senate, eight of those years as chairman of the judiciary committee, the most important committee, in many ways, in the senate. He so impressed legislation, was loyalty instrumental in formulating so much constructive, progressive, needed legislation that he was recognized then as one of the strongest men in the state. He will go to congress so well equipped as to take high rank at the first. Mr. Dowell is broad-minded, is generous to a fault, is a hard, persistent worker. He is one who gets results. He is broad enough that he will give every county in the district the same attention that he gives Polk county. A friend in Warren county who has known him from boyhood days says: "C. C. Dowell will make one of the best congressmen this district ever sent to Washington. I know he will. I know his ability, his clean life, his singleness of purpose, his ability to represent the district faithfully. Mark what I tell you, he is going to congress and he will be one of the best men we have ever had in that body." The man who said that is an active republican, a man of large affairs who has known C. C. Dowell all his life. And he but repeats the sentiment of a good majority of the republicans of that county. Lawn mowers cheapest at Dawson's Hardware, Sixth avenue.
