Read these concrete facts taken from the books of the Wilson administration and if any sane, race or fair minded voter can go to the polls and votes to re-elect such a party or men it would certainly cause one to believe that person had sold his soul to the devil. All nations have persons whose physical conditions are such they are not held accountable for what they do and this is the only class of Negro voters who might be baited, but when you read the facts your mind will be in better frame for the whole Republican ticket. gress as the Republican party laid it out for the Negro. Throughout the country colored men have been asounded and discouraged by the bitterness of the opposition of the Chief Executive of the nation, and the enemies of the race in and out of Congress have taken heart to levy additional reprisals against the hopes of the race. Encouraged by the approval of the Wilson administration segregation has been seriously considered in northern cities and has been placed into operation in many border municipalities. In the City of Baltimore, where this unjust measure has been undertaken in the residential districts, the Presi What the Negroes living in the border states, and even those who live at the north, have most to fear is a Democratic administration directed by a man of southern birth, and one so inured to southern racial prejudice as Woodrow Wilson. This is not so much a prophecy as it is a concrete fact, proven by years of Democratic reprisals against the constitutional rights of the colored citizens. Placing a ban upon the progress of the Negro race is the only policy to which the Wilson administration has consistently adhered and the only one that has been successful. The President has succeeded in undoing in three years what the Republican party has been fifty years accomplishing for the advancement and recognition of the rights of the colored citizens. In this short time he has removed from the public service every Negro holding a position of trust and responsibility. He has segregated the colored civil service employees in the departments at Washington, accomplishing this discrimination at great expense to the Government and to the detriment of the service. He celebrated his entrance to the White House by closing the door of opportunity to the Negro. By word and deed he has lent encouragement to the enemies of the race and fostered a racial prejudice greater than has ever been known in this country. Slavery, peonage, disfranchisement and segregation are the four greatest crimes that have been visited upon the Negro in this country. Two of these were actually evolved by the Democratic party, and at some time in its history that party has consistently defended each of them. Disfranchisement and segregation are purely Democratic institutions, but it was left to Woodrow Wilson to be the first President of the United States to stamp them with his official approval. He has submitted himself absolutely to the counsel of the vicious southern Negro-baiters, such as Tilman, Vardman, Helfin and Hardwick, and his policy toward the Negro has been tinctured and controlled by their inherent hatred. Peonage has been permitted to thrive in the southern states, there not being a single prosecution for this crime against the Negro in the last two years. Prosecution of peonage cases ended with the appointment of the Democratic District Attorneys in the south. While Woodrow Wilson was a candidate for the Presidency he made promises to the colored people that were fairer than any ever given by a candidate for that high office. In his letter to Bishop Walters, which was one of the campaign documents disseminated among the colored people, he promised them civil rights and privileges such as were guaranteed them under the constitution. Just as soon as he assumed office he changed his mind. Wilson is undoubtedly a man of education and the colored people have looked to the educated people of the country for a square deal, yet we are confronted with this instance where theory has been kicked to death by a fatt. There has never been a President who descended from his lofty position to retard the progress of a struggling, race as Woodrow Wilson has done. His education has failed to prove a foil for his prejudice. He has used the power of his great office to place obstacles in the path of pro- gress as the Republican party laid it out for the Negro. Throughout the country colored men have been astounded and discouraged by the bitterness of the opposition of the Chief Executive of the nation, and the enemies of the race in and out of Congress have taken heart to levy additional reprisals against the hopes of the race. Encouraged by the approval of the Wilson administration segregation has been seriously considered in northern cities and has been placed into operation in many border municipalities. In the City of Baltimore, where this unjust measure has been undertaken in the residential districts, the President of the United States is cited as an authority for the necessity of removing the colored people from white neighborhoods. An article appearing in a Baltimore paper advocating the ordinance read: "Since the President of the United States has recognized this necessity by putting segregation into actual practice in the departments at Washington, there is excellent reason why the Negroes should not be permitted to own and occupy property. In the same neighborhoods with white people." Segregation, the most recent and probably the most menacing of the practices calculated to hold the progress of the Negro race in check, the practice that restricts the property rights of the colored people, has not only the moral support of the Democratic candidate for President, but he has placed it into actual operation in the governmental departments where in administration of free institutions is pledged. No President has ever engaged in any practice so small for the head of a nation of people and so disastrous to the advancement of the colored Americans. When a number of colored men who had supported Wilson for the Presidency called upon him to protest against segregation, he flew into a range and declared that "Segregation was not a political question," to which the New York World, the paper that has been his official advocate upon all other matters, interposed the rebuke that: "Anything that is unjust, discriminating and un-American in Government is certain to be a political question. Servants of the United States Government are servants of the United States Government regardless of race or color." Bills have been introduced by Democratic members of Congress looking to the establishment of separate street cars in Washington and the District of Columbia, and many privileges accorded to other citizens have been denied the colored people in the very shadow of the capitol. No manner of national defense is possible without the aid of the colored soldiers, yet there have been measures introduced by Wilson's congressional advisors preventing Negroes from enlisting in the army and navy and for the abolishment, of the four regiments of colored regulars. When the white marines were killed at Vera Cruz, the President went to Brooklyn, to attend the funeral and spoke with utmost feeling of the flag of the country for which they had given their lives. When the colored troopers of the famous Tenth Cavalry, fighting against overwhelming odds, displaying heroism seldom equaled, died for the same flag and the same country at Carrizal, and their remains were brought to Washington for interment at Arlington, the President was conspicuous by his absence. He was asleep in the White House and did not desire to be disturbed. In face of all of this, the Democratic party is asking the colored people for their votes. In face of discrimination, which an executive order says was accomplished "at considerable expense to the Government," Wilson hopes to secure some of the suffrages of the class of American citizens he has wronged. It goes without saying that the colored people will repudiate Wilson at the polls, even as he has repudiated them in their desires for fair and equitable citizenship. The difference between this campaign and the one of KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, OCTOBER 27, 1916. four years ago when Wilson was elected is that we were forced to take Wilson's promises then; but we have his record now. Contrary to his promise, to see that the Negro had "equal justice," he went out of his way to humiliate and disgrace the members of the colored race. The colored people are natural Republicans, but it behooves them in this campaign to active, hard-working Republicans to end that segregation, disfranchisement and peonage may he robbed of the prestige which the Democratic President has accorded them. Their old enemy is the Democratic party. Everything that has been done against them has been done by the Democrats and everything that has been done for them has been done by the Republicans. When Frederick Douglass made his famous declaration twenty-five years ago that "The Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea" he propounded a prophecy that time and President Wilson have proven so thoroughly that there is no room for doubt. The only way for the colored voters to stop these contemptible reprisals against the race is to vote for Hughes and Fairbanks, who are not only friends to the colored people as individuals, but are the stand-bearers of the Republican party, from which has come all the Negro has secured in political and civil rights. BILLS INTRODUCED BY DEMO CRATS IN CONGRESS IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS THAT ARE (1). To repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. (House Joint Resolution 32, 33, 40, 107.) (2). To provide Jim crow cars in the District of Columbia. (House Resolution 13, Dec. 6; 1915; H. R. 274, Dec. 6, 1916.) (3). To segregate clerks and employees of the white race from those of African descent in all of the executive departments of the United States Government. (House Resolution 13772, February 23, 1913; H. R. 5968, June 10, 1913; H. R. 11, December 6, 1915; H. R. 539, December 6, 1915; H. R. 5797, December 15, 1915.) (4). To require all transportation companies, firms and persons in the District of Columbia to provide separate accommodations for the white and Negro races, and to prescribe punishment and penalties for violating its provisions. (H. R. 12, December 6, 1915.) (5). To repeal Section 5509 of the Revised Stateues (now Section 19 of the Penal Code), which punishes as crime conspiracy of two or more persons to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the constitution or the laws of the United States. (H. R. 13853.) (6). To forbid the appointment of any Negro-soldier as a commissioned officer, either in the army or navy of the United States. (H. R. 12840, March 7, 1916.) (7). To prevent the enlistment of Negroes in the military service of the United States. (H. R. 17183, introduced by Mr. Caraway, July 27, 1916.) The introduction of these measures show more plainly than anything else the trend of Democratic sentiment toward the Negro and just what he may expect from future Democratic houses of Congress. The Democrats seek to assail and contest every right of citizenship that the Negro has acquired through the Republican party. "REPUBLICAN PARTY THE SHIP." The Republican party was born in a desire that all men might be free, and the Negro race was the first beneficiary of its great principles. The first independence that the American Negro ever felt was when he was permitted by the first Republican President to fight 200,000 strong, for his own liberty. Step by step in our racial progress—our rapid pilgrimage from slavery to this day when more than 25 per cent of us own our own homes; when the value of our farm property is $1,141,792,526; when we are worth a billion dollars more to ourselves than we were worth to our southern masters as chattels; when we have thousands of schools of our own and the liberty to enter any educational institution at the North, except the University of Princeton, of which Woodrow Wilson was president; when we have thousands of successful physicists, lawyers, business men and artisans, the Republican party has marched along with us, directing and protecting us. Every right the Negro holds, either constitutional or statutory, came from the Republican party, and every right thus given that has been assailed or denied has been done by the Democratic party. From the emancipation of the Negro to naming him as Assistant Attorney General of the United States, the political and civil advancement of the rabe has been the work of the Republican party. From the Dred Scott decision in slavery to disfranchisement, peonage and segregation after freedom, the blighting hand of the Democratic party has been evident. A fact for reflection is that there is neither disfranchisement, peonage nor segregation in any Republican state, and either one or all have manifested themselves in some form in every Democratic state. Charles Evans Hughes, in his attitude toward the Negro, is thoroughly in accord with the traditions and present policy of the Republican party. From the time that he became an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court he has stood out boldly for justice to the Negro, and the colored race has recelved more favorable decisions from that body during his incumbency than in the fifty years it has had the privilege of contesting before the highest tribunal in the land. In Justice Hughes' famous decision in the 'Lonzo Bailey peonage case, he gave, in part, the following interpretation of the Thirteenth Amendment: "The language of the Thirteenth Amendment was not new. While the immediate concern was with African slavery, the amendment is not limited to that. It was a charter of universal civil liberty for all persons, of whatever race, color or estate under the flag. The plain intent was to abolish slavery of whatever name or form and its badges and incidents; to render impossible any state of bondage; to make labor free, by prohibiting that control by which the personal service of one man is disposed of or coerced for another's benefit—which is the essence of involuntary servitude." This is the conception of Mr. Hughes of the rights of colored labor, which many individuals in the southern states have attempted to reduce to peonage, and it is not only the opinion of Mr. Hughes, but is thoroughly Republican. Justice Hughes went on record in a dissenting opinion in the case of Frank vs. Mangum, 237 U. S. 345, which is far-reaching in its influence over affairs of the colored people. Mr. Hughes held that: "Due process of law embraces the fundamental conception of a fair trial, with opportunity to be heard. Mob law does not become 'due process of law' by securing the assent of a terrorized jury. It is the Court's duty to declare lynch law as little valid when practiced by a regular drawn jury as when administered by a mob interd upon death." It is left for the colored voter to choose for himself whether he would prefer as President of the 'United States a man who has done everything in his power to destroy, his rights—rights that were conferred upon him by the Republican party, which party has not only given him these rights, but has helped to conserve them. LAWYER JAMES F. GETTY, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR. In the person of James F. Getty the Republican candidate for state senator, the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, and Wyandotte county has without a doubt, regardless of party, the best legislative brain that could be found and we are frank to say there is none in the state, who have greater ability than our own James Getty. As a lawyer he ranks in many points in a class to himself. The citizens and taxpayers of Wyandotte should not lose sight of the all importance at this time, in having a man at Topeka for the next few months who is experienced and qualified to take care and defend every measure that would be to the best interest of all the people. This county has no man and the people know it, who, is equal to the task better than James F. Getty. Partism should and will be lost sight of on the 7th day of November when it comes to casting a vote for state senator of Wyandotte county. Miss Ida Lyons has returned from a visit to Des Moines.

ALL THE REPUBLICANS HAVE LEFT TO BE DONE IS TO GET WHAT THEY HAVE ON THE REGISTRATION BOOKS IN THE BALLET BOX, NOVEMBER 7TH AND VICTORY IS THEIR'S. NO. 10 REPUBLICANS TO CARRY WYANDOTTE BY 1600 SAYS CHAIRMAN CARSON. In an interview this week with David Carson, chairman of the Republican executive committee of Wyandotte county, he stated that one of the most complete polls had just been finished that had been taken for 20 years and it showed on the face of this poll which was gotten by the most reliable person in each precinct, that Hughes had 1,600 more than Wilson. Mr. Carson further stated that he expected to see a much larger majority on the return of the ballot, November 7th as many were changing to Hughes since the poll had been completed, but he could bank on the 1,600 which the poll books showed. Chairman Carson and his committee have been working night and day for the success of the entire Republican ticket and the system of procedure has been telling in every avenue of work. The Republican voters are on the registration books and all that is left to be done now is to get them in the ballot box November the 7th and a victory is assured. STILL PROSPERING Although the notice was too late for last week, the "Neighborhood Bible class" is still thriving.

A man who has been the governor of all the people. The great Sunflower state feels, regardless of party, that Gov. Capper has made one of the states most efficient and economical chief executives in the history of the state. JOHN H. HARRIS Mr. Capper has given the people a business administration that is far reaching in the future to its commercial and business growth and on November the 7th the electors of this state will show their appreciation by re-electing him with a majority from 75,000 to 100,000. He is undoubtedly the choice of all parties and classes. COL. E. C. LITTLE. Republican candidate for Congress, Second district, soldier, lawyer and statesman. A man of national fame: A character untarnished and unblased. A man of wonderful ability and his presence in Congress would be a tower of strength in helping to carry out the policies of a Republican president. Besides he would always be found supporting measures that were for the advancement of the colored PETER H. people. He would not support legislation, as our Democratic Congressman, Mr. Taggart, has done in the past four years, segregation, neonage and jim crowism. Col. Little believes in Americanism and that all of its citizens should have a fair and equal chance to make an honest living. Hundreds of Democrats who want to see fair play to all, will support this great big broad and brainy statesman. BECAUSE he stands for Protection, Prosperity, Preparedness and Patriotism. BECAUSE his speech of acceptance expresses his desire to co-operate with labor for its advantage, not to exploit it for his own. BECAUSE he will not repudiate the American flag in any land. BECAUSE as Governor of New York he has already proved that he dared to do the right thing, and is prepared to further do and dare when called into a wider field. BECAUSE he will not burden us with war taxes in time of peace: BECAUSE he will protect this country against being flooded with cheap manufactures of Europe after the war. BECAUSE he is a firm friend of preparedness through political expediency. BECAUSE he is a red blooded American. His policy will be "America first, America efficient." BECAUSE he is the chosen head of a party which has long fathered all great constructive legislation which experience has proved to be wise and which has inyariably been opposed by the Democratic party. BECAUSE he is a man of forward vision, of practicability and firmness, not a mere rhetorician and theorist. The Moulton Tea and Coffee house is where you get fresh roasted coffee every day.

(Jeff) Hayward, Republican nominee for county coroner, is making a hard campaign. Doctor Hayward knows thousands of voters, having been a paper carrier when he was going to school and paying for his medical education by his own work. As a carrier he made friends with his customers and has been assured by all of those he has seen recently that they will get solidly behind him at the polls. Most of them remember him as a boy in knee trousers tramping through the winter snow to earn money to pay for his education, and the persistency and ambition of the youngster won their admiration and affection. It is among the thousands of personal friends he has that his main strength will be found. In making his campaign Doctor Hayward urges anyone who is in doubt as to his qualification, to ask anyone who knew him as a boy as to what sort of a record he has made. MME, C. O. SMITH-TAYLOR.
