The Republican war record: Stood by the whole war program; secured increased pay for soldiers; put the draft law through congress; backed the president, army and navy; united the nation to whip the kaiser; patriotism the sole test of war service. The Republican party is and ever has been loyal to high American ideals, and a vote for the Republican ticket is a pledge of peace through victory. Vote the Republican state and congressional ticket: For U. S. Senator, W. S. Kenyon; for Governor, W. L. Harding; Lieutenant Governor, E. R. Moore; Secretary of State, F. S. Shaw; State Treasurer, E. H. Hoyt; Attorney General, H. M. Havner; Railroad Commissioner, D. N. Lewis; Railroad Commissioner, Chas. Webster; State Superintendent, P. E. McClenahan. General election, November 5, 1918. Published by order Republican State Central Committee. AMONG OUR JUDGES MEYER FOR JUDGE. Elsewhere will be found the name of Judge Joseph E. Meyer, one of the present judges on the bench, who is a candidate for re-election, Monday, Nov. 5, for his regular term. He served as judge of municipal court. He is a good, careful, painstaking judge, making a first class jurist, and he should be elected next week is the opinion of his friends. Utterback. One of the most efficient, capable and obliged judges on the Polk county bench is Judge Hubert Utterback, who has served on our bench with honor and credit to our county. He is honest, fair and just in all of his decisions and rulings and the voters of Polk county can feel congratulated to be permitted to vote for Judge Utterback on election day in November. Griffiths. The name of Henry H. Griffiths, one of our leading young attorneys, is on the ticket as a non-partisan candidate for Judge of the District Court, as there are five to be elected. Atty. Griffiths has practiced in this county 25 years, a citizen of the county 50 years. A good friend of the colored people, as he is an active member of the N. A. A. C. Association and solicits every colored man's vote on election day. Mulvaney. Hon. John T. Mulvany is one of the candidates for judge of the district court. He has practiced in Des Moines for the past 22 years. A true friend of the colored race, as he has many clients among them and certainly deserves one of their five votes for county judge. He is honest, capable and has the ripe age and experience to make an ideal judge. REPUBLICANISM. Upon the eve of the coming national election which will be held throughout the United States wherein all members of Congress will be elected and several states will elect a United States Senator to represent them in the upper branch, also many states will elect Governors and other state and county officers. Therefore it is hardly necessary for The Bystander to tell its readers of the many reasons why the Republican party should be successful, but heretofore we had refrained from politics on account of the war, but since the President has opened the door and asked for a Democratic Congress to be elected we think it our duty as an American citizen to tell our many readers that we want a Republican Congress and a Republican state officers elected in every state in this Union, because among the many reasons these are a few: 1st, that the Republicans in both branches of Congress have voted for the President's war measures when his own Democratic leaders were opposing him. 2nd, because the powers in control have located nearly all of the canteens south of the Mason and Dixon line. 3rd, because when the Democrats are in power the best interests of the American Negro is hurt and curbed, and their progress restricted. Therefore we urge every colored voter to go to the polls next Tuesday and vote the straight Republican ticket. DO YOUR FULL DUTY AND BE A MAN. CHILLICOTHE, MO.

In case of a burn or scald what would you do to relieve the pain? Such injuries are liable to occur in any family and everyone should be prepared for them. Chamberlain's Salve applied on a soft cloth will relieve the pain almost instantly, and unless the injury is a very severe one, will cause the parts to heal without leaving a scar. ROOSEVELT IN BATTER TIRADE AGAINST WILSON. T. R. Would "Emphatically Repudiate" 14 Peace Terms World Has Accepted. New York, Oct. 28.-Col. Theodore Roosevelt, answering President Wilson's appeal for return of a Democratic majority in Congress, urged voters of the nation, in an address here tonight, to transfer control to Republican leadership. Such an outcome of the election, he declared, would assure "our allies that America is determined to speed up the war and insist on unconditional surrender" of the enemy, and would serve notice on Germany "and her vassal states" that they would have to deal henceforth "with the resolute and straightforward soul of the American people and not merely with the obscure purposes and wavering will of Mr. Wilson." Declaring that "half the leaders of the president's own party opposed him when he had committed himself to war measures," Mr Roosevelt asserted that heads of the Republican organization in Congress supported the administration when a declaration of war was needed, when there was a demand for the draft, when the army was sent overseas, and when money was required by taxation or by loans. The former president spoke at a meeting under the auspices of the Republican Club at Carnegie Hall to advocate the election of "the Republican state ticket here in New York and of the Republican congressional ticket throughout the Union." Rebuking what he termed the "servility" of Democratic leadership, the colonel said it was "small wonder that in the cloakrooms of the House the bitter jest circulates: 'Here's to our Czar, last in war, first toward peace, long may he wayer!'" Mr. Roosevelt criticized the general course of the administration throughout the war, declaring: "If Mr. Wilson had really meant to disregard politics he would at once have constructed a coalition, nonpartisan cabinet, calling the best men of the nation to the highest and most important offices under him without regard to politics. He did nothing of the kind. Says Appointees Were Unfit. "In the positions most vital to the conduct of the war and in the positions now most important in connection with negotiating peace, he retained or appointed men without the slightest fitness for the performance of the tasks, whose sole recommendation was a supply eagerness to serve Mr. Wilson personally and to serve Mr. Wilson's party insofar as such service benefited Mr. Wilson." Contrasting the president's appeal with Lincoln's "outright refusal even in the darkest days of the civil war, to apply any party test to fitness for office," the colonel said that Lincoln "appealed to all loyal men of all parties and asked that candidates for Congress be judged not by the standard of adherence to his personal administration, but by their unconditional support of the war." Election of a Republican Congress, the colonel continued, "would be understood abroad as meaning that the pro-Germans and pacifists and Bolsheviks and Germanized socialists could no longer be counted upon as efficient and tortuous tools, that the fighting men and not the rhetoricians were uppermost." Mr. Roosevelt interpreted the president's reference to the "anti-administration" attitude of Republican members of Congress as based on their "demand that inefficiency, waste and extravagance be remedied" in the war-conducting departments. "We Republican ploids ourselves to stand by the president so long as he stands by the American people, and to point where in our judgment he deserves to be." by the people,' Col. Boosevelt said. "This is the people's government, this is the people's war and the peace that follows shall be the people's peace." to you Head 766, vi COLOR GOVERNMENT BUILDS "Y" FOR NEGEO WORKERS AT NITRO Modern and Well-Equipped Building Under Direction of Negro Secretaries.

American Red Cross, Des Moines, Iowa. In reading one of the Des Moines paper I read something that touched my mind and it was something that I have wanted to see. Now I see that the colored people are not sleeping. They are doing everything that they can for we boys who are trying to help win this war, and if the Red Cross would cease for awhile you would see that we boys would be without any comfort at all. The Red Cross is one of the greatest branches of service and I trust that we will be good soldiers and do our bit, because the Red Cross is doing their part now. Some of the colored people don't know just how the colored boys are receiving the help from the Red Cross, but I know it helps us in so many things that I cannot name them all. The Red Cross are doing for us a great many, many things that we cannot do for ourselves. Now I will say to my people that if you are doing any Red Cross work you are fighting a great fight and you are keeping the home fires burning. I am very glad to know of the colored people doing such a great work, not for the personal need, but for the high regards for our great country, the great U. S. A. Every penny that you give the Red Cross you are showing us that you are not praying for us only, but your hearts are with us and will be in this great war. I have been in the hospital six months and 26 days and I have seen some real work of the Red Cross. But I am up and walking about, and I think of the many great things that the Red Cross did for me and in regard to the great work it has done for me I would like for our people at home to know these great and wonderful things. I wish that every colored woman who has a son in the army could know just how we are getting along. When we return home after this war we will be better men than we have been, though we may be wounded and crippled. But our hearts will be O. K. So I hope that I can be present at one of your meetings and tell you the whole story about the great work of the Red Cross. So I see that we are going to win this war and I can say nothing greater than the Red Cross it is a mother to the many boys in camp over the country, so keep on, victory is ours.

This is a favorite and very successful remedy for croup, and it is important that you observe the directions carefully.

L. Birt. Pastor. "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord." The quarantine was lifted in the city Monday and preaching service was held in this church Monday evening. Sister Mahala Hall filled the appointment. Quite a number worshipped at that hour. Sister Hall will leave shortly for Wichita, Kan., where she will conduct a religious campaign for St. James A. M. E. Church. Every one seemed happy to be permitted to attend church. The drastic measure of closing the churches, at this time, has caused much comment from those who have explicit faith and confidence in God. We are not surprised the civil boards are made up largely of irreligious men, who do not take God into account. It is hoped that this closing will not weaken the morale of church-going members and friends of St Paul. The new chairs have been installed on the first floor and a number of the male members are setting up and installing the chairs in the gallery. The steam-fitters are connecting the pipes for heat; the gas stove in the kitchen has been connected; the chancel rail has been installed and the wood work stained during the quarantine. All this has cost considerable money and the friends and members are asked to make a large payment on their subscriptions. Let every one who can make and advance a payment of $10. This must be done to meet our pressing demands. Despite the war our churches and schools throughout the connection are enjoying unbounded prosperity. Paul Quinn College, Waco, Tex., closed an educational rally with $8,648.41. Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Pa., collected $10,000.00 for education. Wilberforce University is engaged in war activities, having both the A and B units of the Students' Army Training Corps. There are more than 700 students enrolled—250 are in the collegiate department. In the two detachments there are more than 400 soldiers, two of the trades buildings have been turned into barracks. It does not take a prophet to tell what the future shall bring to the Negro race. Let us work, pray and give liberally for the cause of Christ.

Candidate for Re-election for First Full Term JUDGE OF DISTRICT COURT Polk County Judicial Ticket He is an Iowa man, 36 years of age, has a wife and two small children, and has made such a splendid record on the bench since his appointment as district judge that there is universal expectation of his election for the full term in November. At the time of his appointment he was not a candidate for selection, but the governor offered him the position, knowing full well his competency. There have been times when members of the bench would resign to enter into the practice because of the more lucrative field. Judge Meyer has said that if it is the will of the people he would very much like to stay on the bench, to make there such a record as he believes he can make, and the election in November to the full term is merely a matter of right. When a man has been given a short trial and is making good the American spirit of fair play says, "Give him a chance." That is always true, and knowing the competency of Judge Meyer, coupled with the good American spirit of the voters, we feel assured that he will be elected. He ought to be Mrs. William Stoner of Rock Island is visiting her son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Coffman. Little baby Coffman is on the siek list.
