KANSAS CITY Subscription $1.00 Per Annum BIG WHITE MEN USE THE DOUBLE CROSS The colored politician is the one who usually gets the credit of using the double cross, but don't you think for a moment he is as susceptible to this low and degraded act of politics as his white brother is. We have right at this time in the present campaign a man of the white race who is considered by his own race to be well to do. A man who did ask the Republicans of the state of Kansas for high honors and is still looking forward to the day for the party to thrust these honors upon him, but for pure selfish motives of an unscrupulous and ungrateful nature to those who stood loyal to his cause in the time of need and want, he now is slipping around to little campaign house parties pretending to be in the interest of a Republican candidate and only one, and in his so called admiration of this particular candidate he admonishes his hearers in these words: "If you want to vote for a good Republican, vote for Mr. _____, and if you want to vote for a good Democrat, vote for Mr. _____, the present incumbent of this office. We could name all of these blanks, but our opinion and high regard we have had in the past for this gentleman as a citizen of worth and loyalty to his fellow man, we refrain from doing so at this time, but if it's necessary to spell out the blanks in order to show to the good, honest loyal Republicans of Wyandotte county DR. S. H. THOMPSON. Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of the State of Kansas. Dr. Thompson has brought the Order in his two years' administration to its highest standard and today finds it the strongest in all departments in the history of its existence. ty this kind of a man, it can be done without any biting of lips. Think of it, a great big wealthy white Republican saying what you can do in the nomination, but then use your own pleasure in his support between him and the Democrat nominee, who has no opposition in the primaries. Now, Voter, do you see the logic of this cunning little trick? Yes, you do, it is plainly to be seen. He well knows the Republican candidate he is partially advocating, if nominated, would be a very weak man against the Democrat nominee and with his financial support could easily defeat the man whom he nominated with your assistance. What do you call that? Loyalism or traitorism. You most undoubtedly would have to say the latter. There is one other feature in this game of trickery which goes deeper in the soul of this paper than what has been illustrated to you, and that is this good big-hearted whole-souled philanthropist forgets his own people's firesides with his story, but goes into some of our good colored homes where the neighborhood had been inviled, as they supposed, to listen to a friend who would teach them even if it need be the loyalty of Damon and Pythias. We are proud to say that we had present on this occasion some men who are not afraid to define the right of honesty and loyalty at any cost, and we congratulate them in doing so. We have been used long enough as a catspaw and tried to be made do the dirty work. Right will win if you will let it. The Advocate is for a square deal to every honest desire, and it's purpose is to help every worthy cause of our city, state and country, and at all times, trying to maintain a higher skillude of manhood and womanhood for the race. VOL.2. POLITICAL CLUBS ARE ROYALLY ENTERTAINING THE CANDIDATES. Last week and this week there have been great gatherings of Republican candidates by invitation of the various political clubs about the city. The Autumn Leaf club of the Second ward, and the Welfare club of the same ward, both held rousing meetings last week and the Equal Rights club of the Third ward tried to outdo themselves last Thursday night at Knights of Tabor Hall. Dr. H. T. Kealing, president of Western University, was the principal speaker for the club. Prof. Neely also spoke and Mrs. Smith read one of the best papers that has been the privilege of any audience to drink in. It was simply great. A splendid trio of lady musicians with piano, violin and saxaphone highly entertained the vast audience. Nearly every candidate in the city was present, and all had a REV. J. R. RANSOM. Grand Prelate of Sunflower Grand Lodge of the Grand Jurisdiction of Kansas of Knights of Pythias. word to say. Plenty of ice cream and cold drinks were served by the committee of ladies. So far this week candidates have had to make from two to five meetings per night if they wished to be seen. It is only a few more days boys until the axe will fall on the majority of them so let your acts be such toward your favorites that you can look them in the face the next day after the primary with a clean record and clear conscience. Play fair and you will win in the end if you lose today. A STRONG REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR HIGH SHERIFE. DATE FOR HIGH SHERIFF. The subject of this likeness, Mr. A. C.

As the month of July was closing up its fifteenth day of 1916 with one hundred degrees Farenheit and the rays of another day's sun playing hide and seek behind the western horizon, one of our leading and popular business men was leading to the altar at the parsonage of Dr. D. B. Jackson, pastor of the Eighth street church, a life partner. This well known gentleman was Major Charles Slaughter, our leading confectioner and ice cream manufac The Oviatt & Hamilton Shoe company at 530 Minnesota avenue, are giving the public at this season of the year the most wonderful values in shoe leather ever put on the market in Kansas City, Kas.

McCabe, the only colored man ever elected to state office in Kansas, is coming all the way from Chicago to urge our voters to support Miss Lizzie E. Wooster for State Superintendent of Public Instruction at the primaries August 1st. Miss Wooster is deserving of the vote of every colored man and woman in Kansas. Former State Auditor McCabe says: Chicago, Ill., July 13th, 1916. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that I have known Miss Wooster for a number of years. She is now a candidate for State Superintendent of Schools. She will bring to the office all that it requires, to wit: a knowledge of schools and school conduct. I shall be in Kansas and will take the stump for her as soon as I can make it convenient to leave Chicago. Miss Wooster's father aided me when I became Auditor of the State of Kansas, and it is nothing more than right that I should assist her, his child, in this particular, who aspires to a State Office akin to the one held by me. Yours truly, E. P. McCABE. 1. WOULD YOU EMPLOY AN IN-EXPERIENCED MAN TO KEEP YOUR BOOKS. 2. Would you trust the affairs of your business to a man who neither has nor claims to have any qualifications for the place? 3. Did you ever engage the services of a man without inquiring as to his knowledge of the particular position for which he was applying. 4. Can you not see that you as a voter are in the same position as the employer, and that any candidate for office is no more than an applicant for a position under you? 5. Is it not the part of wisdom to conduct the affairs of society with the same judgment you would your own business? 6. If the manager of your business died, would you promote the assistant business manager or hire a friend? JOHN H. HARRIS U. G. (Grant) GATES Republican Candidate for REGISTER OF DEEDS Have Never Been a Candidate Before I base my claim to experience and efficiency on my experience as an abstracter and service as deputy Register of Deeds, and the intimate knowledge of affairs in this important office that such a training has given me. Rev. John A. Gregg, president of Edward Waters' college and brother of Prof. G. A. Gregg, is on a lecture trip through the West. He will be in Kansas City August 7 to 9 and Topeka, St. Joseph, Denver, Pueblo, Des Moines, Chicago and places adjacent to these. His many friends will be glad to see him. A vote for Col. Little at the Primary means defeat in November of a Democratic Congressman. It is conceded by twenty-five Republican newspapers in the Second district that Col. Little is the only man that can beat the Democratic Congressman. Many Odd Fellows left Monday for Wichita to attend their annual grand session. Among some of those who went were Attorney Dorsey Green and wife and Dr. Banks. : Rev. Dr. Jamison, field secretary of the A. M. E. Sabbath School Union, preached an able sermon at the First A. M. E. church Sunday morning. NO.48 A MAMMOTH PIGNIG AT HEATHWOOD PARK Probably the largest gathering of colored people that ever came together in one day in Wyandotte county will be Saturday, July 29th at the very elegant Heathwood park. There will be some of the best known colored orators, also our state chief executive, Governor Arthur Capper and other noted speakers of the state and county. This being near the close of the primary campaign all of the state H. J. MONROE. Grand Keeper of Records and Seal of the Knights of Pythias of Kansas. Sir Monroe has held this office for several years and without flattery, he has made this office equal to the best in the Supreme Jurisdiction. Mr. Monroe lives at Topeka and is a candidate for county clerk of his home county. and county candidates are expected to be present. This big picnic is under the management of some of our biggest men in Kansas City, Kansas, and if you have seen the large posters you can imagine what is in store for those who go. All kinds of athletic sports will take place during the day. Plenty to eat on the grounds and all the FREE lemonade you can drink. It's all day. You don't want to miss seeing this multitude. Bring all the family. Come early and stay all day in this cool and restful park. A MAN WHO STANDS BY THE BREAD-WINNER—BELIEVES IN GIVING EVERYBODY AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY—DAN B. DYER FOR STATE AUDITOR. The Republicans of Smith county present to their fellow Republican voters of Kansas, Dan B. Dyer, for the office of State auditor, and ask their support for this competent, qualified and worthy citizen. Smith county people, without regard to party will bear testimony of his high character. Here where he has been known from boyhood, Mr. Dyer, if nominated by the Republicans, will receive hundreds of votes from men and women of other political faiths at the November election. This is because he has always stood four square in politics and public and private affairs. The above from the Smith County Pioneer, Mr. Dyer's home, is high tribute. Dan Dyer will make a faithful and efficient State Auditor. Here in Kansas City, and elsewhere over the state, the colored voters are lining up for this worthy man. The Advocate bespeaks for Mr. Dyer the support at the primary of every Republican man and woman who wishes to see in the Auditor's office an official who is in every way qualified and competent. A man who has always stood by the laboring man. A man whose life has been of that kind when his name is called, speak well of him. A safe thing to do is to vote for Dan Dyer. REPUBLICAN LOVE FEAST AND BANQUET MONDAY NIGHT. The Republicans of Wyandotte will meet in mass next Monday night for a big jollification with an old fashioned love feast, closing with a swell banquet. The committee selected by Captain Hayes, chairman of the executive committee, have things well arranged for one of the biggest times among the rank and file of the G. O. P. that has been seen in Wyandotte for many a day. The laboring man's friend for State Auditor, is Dan Dyer. Look for his name on August 1st. nied by those who know the district that he cannot beat Mr. Taggart, who will be for the third time the Democratic nominee. So as a race who are striving for greater opportunities for all concerned, look well at this momentous time and do our whole duty in nominating a man who can be elected as our representative on November the 7th. Local Mrs.Lashley of San Francisco, who was a guest of Mrs. Ed Smith, will visit friends in this vicinity two weeks longer.

Guyer says he bolted the Republican party in 1892 and 1893 and that he did right to do so and would do it again. He claims there was some Iowa statute that didn't suit him. He doesn't say why he opposed President Harrison because of some Iowa statute. President Harrison had nothing to do with the Iowa statute. Guyer's explanation doesn't explain. The fact is he was simply a Third party man and opposed Republicanism for a number of years. IN 1892 Edward C. Little presided over the Republican State Convention. At that time he introduced J. K. Cubbison to the first State Republican Convention he ever addressed and he introduced John J. Ingalls to the last Republican Convention he ever addressed. In 1892 U. S. Guyer opposed the election of President Benjamin Harrison, the Republican nominee for President, and fought the whole Republican ticket. In 1912 Guyer bolted both the Republican and Progressive parties. In 1910 Colonel Little presided at the big Republican rally in Kansas City, Kansas, and introduced Governor Stubbs, the Republican nominee for governor and Hon. Alexander Mitchell the Republican nominee for Congress. That's the last year the Republicans achieved success in Wyandotte county in the way of a substantial victory. REPUBLICAN CONGRESS A VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE RACE. There is no one office of so vital importance to the colored people than that of congress. The men from the various congressional districts throughout the country who go to Washington, are the men who make, change and amend the laws of our country, and these enactments are often done irregardless to what is best for the people at large. Therefore we should use our very best judgment in selecting men to go to the halls of congress to help make these laws. As to the colored man, he should use his keenest judgment in the class of man as to ability and statesmanship. At this time we have a Democratic congress of which is made up largely of Southern members and with co-operation of their Northern brothers are everlastingly trying to enact laws that will bring hardship on the colored man and many of them would be placed upon our statutes if it were not for the fighting few Republican friends we have there. This district is represented by one of these Northern Democrats, Mr. Taggart, who has at all times affiliated and supported every measure of his southern brother. He is duty bound as a Democrat to vote against every enactment that comes up that would show any semblance of favor toward the black man. So you see how necessary it is for us to lay aside what some of us might determine a little home friendship, and support a man who has the ability not only to represent us and fight for us and our rights when the time comes, but the man and the only man at this time who can beat Mr. Taggart and that is Colonel Little. As has been said in the columns of this paper on previous occasions, we did not have anything in the least against Mr. Little's opponent, Mr. Guyer, but it's a fact that cannot be de- Happenings Col. Ed Little, the soldier, statesman and lawyer, is the kind of man the Second district needs. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE BUSINESS JEWELER A. WILSON Is Kansas City's Pioneer Negro Jeweler.

N. Soams Mrs. Campbell DR. E. D. WILLIAMS, OUR TRAINING AN APPELLATION Ten consecutive years of gratulous public service seems a long time. The question is often raised as to whether or not a man is genuinely appreciated who gives so bountifully of himself for others; who absents himself so frequently from his own fireside, denying himself these simple, but real, comforts obtained only in the home; who forsakes his business or profession when it needs him most; who encourages the wrinkles of time to introduce themselves before their natural season; who oftimes plays with undue exposure in wintry weather; who risks his life, knowing that there is no other compensation than that of feeling that he has discharged his whole duty toward his fellow man. Yet, there are men who are doing these things daily the world over, and in our own community we have such magnificent characters, the chief among these is Dr. E. D. Williams, who for a whole decade has been spending himself freely for all of the boys and girls of our own municipality. Quiet, unassuming, not given to advertisement, but a man whose heart beats for all of the people—to whom the interests of the little black boy is as dear as those of any other being. As a member of the board of education he has been faithful, and the thorough technical training he received prior to his taking up the practice of medicine has proven a splendid asset in his present capacity as chairman of the committee on buildings and grounds. He is ever on the job and has been found on the right side whenever any proposition came up for additional improvements, equipment, added teachers, or increased building capacity for our Negro schools. That he has been diligent and sincere in his attitude toward all of the schools is indeed highly commendable. That he has looked after the welfare of the Negro boy and of the Negro girl is to us, Godlike, and pitiable is he who does not go to the polls and cast his vote for DR. E. D. WILLIAMS for coroner of Wyandotte county. FT. SCOTT, KANSAS. The Moore Jubilee singers are stopping with Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Hall on First street.
