He is entitled to some credit for the betterment of rural and small town schools; for starting vocational education; for the provision for training teachers for the rural schools; for the provision whereby boys and girls, no matter where they reside, may secure the payment of their tuition in high schools; and for the elimination of an obnoxious language from our courses of study. He believes in equal education for all classes and all races, a true friend of the colored race.
LEWIS FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.
Dwight N. Lewis of Des Moines, assistant commerce counsel, who was appointed state railroad commissioner by Governor Clarke to succeed Clifford Thorne, resigned. He is a candidate for the nomination on the Republican ticket, as there are to be two elected.
Although still a young man, he has for twenty-five years been associated with the work of the railroad commission and is now looked upon as a rate expert. His appointment was especially urged by rate commissioners of various Iowa cities.
Mr. Lewis is a graduate of the Drake University law department. He pursued his law studies while keeping up his other work. For many years he has been the teacher of the young men's Bible class in the Central Church of Christ, which is one of the largest in the state.

MAC VICAR FOR SHERIFF.
John MaeVicar announces his candidacy for Sheriff in this issue of the Bystander. This is the first time Mr. MacVicar has sought office outside Des Moines, and will give an opportunity for his political admirers in the county precincts to cast a vote for him.
A big-brained, clear-headed, good hearted man, who has given to this city the very best years of his life. And all without any work of graft, any thought on the part of the people but that he is honest and upright.

A true friend of the Colored people and by virtue of his age and experience would make a good commissioner. He solicits your vote.
SAVERUDE FOR SUPERVISOR.
Mr. Chas. Saverude, our well known Des Moines business man and the present Supervisor of the board from West Des Moines, is a candidate for re-nomination for his second term as member of the Board of Supervisors, subject to the Republican primaries.

M. B.
JOSEPH FOR STATE SUPERIN-
TENDENT.
The above cut is that of Mr. F. D. Joseph, Deputy State Superintendent, who is a candidate for State Superintendent.
He believes: In preserving the health of children—that the schools may well devote more attention to training in American loyalty—that courses of study must train people to live and be efficient in any community—that the one room school should be encouraged to improve in efficiency—that consolidation offers excellent educational advantages, but must be left with the people and not made compulsory by legislative enactment—that the school laws should be revised—that children in mining camps are entitled to better school facilities than many now have—that while winning this war we must not neglect the schools.
Mr. Joseph is a well qualified man for this office. He is in sympathy with all struggling classes, especially the Colored race.

Next week our Capital City will house many of the leading Colored Club women of Iowa, for they will be here to attend the 17th annual session of the Iowa State Pededration of Colored Women's Clubs. While we sometimes think that there are too many women's clubs and seriously consider the advisability of discouraging the organizing of more new clubs. We do really think that in some communities there are too many clubs, but after all, if they teach work and follow their motto, which is "Sowing Seeds of Kindness," "Life as We Climb," then there is real needs of the clubs. If some worthy object, some intellectual advancement, some economic science, some useful and practical ideas are taught where some tired mother may get strength and rest or some thoughtless girl may be cheeked and the good morals of our race strengthened, they we say, amen. Welcome to our city and long live the clubs.
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE8
It is but fair and just that all the voters who wish to honestly express their preference as to the men they want for the various offices, that you should know them or at least what they represent and the general interest that they have taken in our city, county and state. As most of the candidates are strangers to you, therefore you should read their history or biography that we have run from time to time and you can thus judge who is the best man to vote for. The Bystander has published most all of the candidates so you may know each man.
NEGBO VALOR.
General Pershing has been asking to send the colored soldiers over to him in France and from our best information we now have about 50,000 in France, among the other 500,000 Americans, and already their heroism, bravery and dashing gallantry have won honor and French medals for their bravery. We have never doubted the Negro bravery if an opportunity. They won honor in the Civil war. Now they will win honor in the world war.
AN EDUCATIONAL APPEAL TO
COLORED YOUTH
This is the season when ambitious young men and women are looking around in quest of a higher school or college in which to continue their education. The operation of our educational fabric is apt to be seriously interrupted on account of world-wide war conditions, which appeal to the patriotic emotions of every right-minded American youth.
President Woodrow Wilson powerfully appeals to American youth to continue their educational preparation on the most extensive scale as a means of more efficiently helping to win the war. The Hon. P. B. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, urgently seconds the president's appeal.
At this time it is particularly important that colored youth should utilize every available educational opportunity. The requirements of the war are opening up a wide area of skilled pursuits, from which they have been hitherto excluded. There is but one standard of efficiency by which all applicants must be measured who seek to render efficient service on a high level.
While our chief energies are now focused upon the winning of the world war for freedom and equality, yet it is easy to project our vision to the consideration of conditions after the end of this titanic struggle. Millions of men of the best brawn and brain that the human race produces will have been destroyed by the awful ravages of war. In order to repair this incalculable loss to civilization the world will require the fullest exertion and development on the part of every individual working on the highest level of his powers. There will be little time or disposition to stop to inquire of the winning participant in the world's work, "Of what complexion is he!" Great will be the condemnation of any individual who fails to prepare himself for such tremendous responsibilities both during and after the war.
The need for education and efficient leadership of the colored race was never so imperative as now. Loud is the call for qualified men in the higher arts and crafts, in specialized scientific pursuits, in intellectual stimulation of the masses, in wise guidance and control, in social uplift and reclamation, in work of moral aneliorative reform, in spiritual outlook and aspiration.
NEGROES IN PIERCE FIGHT SCATTER HUNS.
With the American Army on the French Front, May 20—This story of the gallantry of two American Negro
soldiers, who attacked a party of twenty-five Germans early Thursday morning and completely routed and beat off the enemy, killing or wounding five men, although themselves wounded, carries with it the announcement that Negro troops have for about a month been holding a part of the front line trenches in the St. Menehould region, west of Verdum. Both Johnson and Roberts will recover, though wounded in many places by grenade splinters. Most of these troops are from New York and their commanded is a former New York official. After several months spent in construction work at the ports the Negroes were given a fairly brief period of training in consideration of the work they had already done in the United States.
M.
STARZINGER FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
We are pleased to announce the name of a past member of our State Legislature, O. Starzinger, who is a candidate for renomination for his second term, subject to the republican primaries June 3rd. Mr. Starzinger is a Polk county man, born and raised in this county. He has never asked or held an elective office until two years ago, when he was elected to the legislature, although an active republican worker.
While in the legislature last session he was a member of twelve different committees and was chairman of one of the most important committees. Mr. Starzinger is a good business man and has always given the common people a square deal. He is a good friend to the colored people as he employs them, and his many friends solicit your support and vote in his behalf.
M.
GARTON FOR SUPERVISOR.
Our good old friend and one of the pioneer citizens of East Des Moines, S. B. Garton, is a candidate for Supervisor of Lee township, East Des Moines.
Mr. Garton has lived in East Des Moines 40 years, a successful business man in the bakery and restaurant until a few years ago for a quarter of a century. He is a friend to the common people, an abolitionist and was also a member of Polk county legislature and did more to pass the bill to give the colored people an appropriation for Lincoln centennial celebration.
128
The above cut is that of Senator Edwin H. Hoyt of Manchester, Iowa, the present State Treasurer, who was appointed about a year ago by Governor Harding to succeed the late W. C. Brown. Mr. Hoyt is a successful business man and an active republican worker from his section of the state. He has been in the upper branch of the state legislature for several years and is familiar with the interests of the state. He has made an excellent treasurer since his appointment and his many friends solicit your support in his behalf. He is fair with all classes of people.

The name of Dr. Wm. Carpenter, the present Coroner, who was selected by the County Board to fill out the unexpired term of Mr. C. Koontz, will be on the Republican ticket for the nomination at the primaries June 3rd. He was born in Lucas county, Iowa, in 1871, came to this county 18 years ago, a graduate from the Central University and University of Kentucky at Louisville, Ky. He has made a splendid coroner and will continue to give to all classes and races equal treatment.

Do You Enjoy Life?
A man in good physical condition is almost certain to enjoy life, while the billious and dyspeptic are despondent, do not enjoy their meals and feel miserable a good share of the time. This ill feeling is nearly always unnecessary. A few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets to tone up the stomach, improve the digestion and regulate the bowels is all that is needed. Try it.
For Sale or Exchange for a smaller property, a seven room house on Sixteenth street, near school. Reasonable terms. Address 1026 W. Sixteenth street, city.

I hereby announce my name as a can didate for Railroad Commissioner.
Dr. William Carpenter wishes to announce his name as a candidate for County Coroner, subject to the primaries.
I hereby announce my name as a candidate for member of Board of Supervisor. from Lee Township (East Des Moines), subject to the Republican primaries June 3. ED SUNBERG.
Mr. Webster is one of the candidates for Railroad Commissioner. There are to be two elected. His friends urge the nomination and election of Charles Webster of Waucoma for the position of railroad commissioner. Mr. Webster is now holding that position, having been appointed by Governor Harding to fill a vacancy. Mr. Webster has made a good record in office. He is a man of great business experience, having been one of the large shippers of the state for many years. His business training and practical relation to the railroads give him a grasp upon the problems coming before the commission that is fundamental, and of the utmost importance to both the people and the railroads. Mr. Webster is a man of the people and keenly alive to the importance of safeguarding their interests. To know him is to like him. He is sensible, democratic and honest.
By knowing the cause, a disease may often be avoided. This is particularly true of headache. The most common cause of headache is a disordered stomach or constipation, which may be corrected by taking a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets. Try it. Many others have obtained permanent relief by taking these Tablets. They are easy to take and mild and gentle in effect.
