Our colored home guards made a new. KANSAS A Big Week In K.C. For U. S. Senator-- 3 Big Meetings Grand Officers of the K. P.'s and Grand Court Hold Two Days' Executive Session Governor Capper is surely making an aggressive campaign. He is constantly in demand for speeches by sociites, church organizations and all sorts of gatherings. He always pleases and brings the most hearty response. His oratory is of the most intense patriotic sort. He understands public sentiment, as few public men do. He keeps his ear constantly close to the grass roots. He is a native Kansan and knows the wants of the people of the state and uses the "Kansas language" to the very best effect. The best thing about it all is, that he is in complete sympathy with the sentiments and wants of the Kansas people. He is progressive and wonderfully in earnest. His is the courage of the right sort. He does not hesitate to condemn the big fellows as well as the small profiteers. Last week he held three rousing meteings in Kansas City, Kansas, all in response to demands of the people. One was held under the direction of the Ladies' Aid society of the London Heights M. E. church, and Fireman No. 8 Hose company. This was a patriotic lawn social and the governor delivered an adress full of patriotism from start to finish. He . Owing to the Grand Lodge of Knights. of Pythias calling off their annual meeting this year, which was scheduled to be held in Topeka this week, from last year's decision, Grand Chancellor Dr. S. H. Thompson of this city, called an executive session of the Grand officers to be held in this city this week, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Grand Court of Calanthe met at the same time at the home of Mrs. Norene Davis, who is the Grand Worthy Councillor. The year's work of both bodies was gone over by an auditing committee and reports of the year's work and condition of affairs will be given out to each lodge a little later on. The calling off of this year's meeting was on account of present war-troubles and high cost of living A WORD TO THE CITIZENS OF K. C. K. By way of contrast Lawrence, Kansas, sent 40 colored young men to Funston. Kansas - City, Kansas, sent 279 Lawrence had two bands in the line of march, one white, the other colored. Kansas City, Kansas, had three colored, no white. Lawrence's Chmaber of Commerce gave the boys a dinner. Kansas City, Kansas, Chamber of Commerce did not recognize them. Lawrence's mayor, ex-governor, a legislator, addrssed the boys. Kansas City, Kansas's mayor must have been too busy. None but Major Holmes gave the boys a parting word of cheer. Lawrence's moving picture shows entertained the 40 boys. Kansas City, Kansas, blank in this respect toward her 279 boys. Lawrence's population by the thousands, white and colored, with the whites largely in the majority, accompanied the boys to the train. An escort of police, mounted upon spirited horses led the procession. Her G. A. R. led by Captain Collins, all white, were in the line of march and sang "John Brown's Body, etc." The white home guardsmen were in line. Kansas City, Kansas, had one been visiting the city for the first time, he would have thought it a town of colored people. Only a policeman aided the line of march, made up of men, women and children and autos by the dozens. was frequently interrupted by hearty applause. Governor Capper also addressed to other meetings, both under the auspices of the Colored Home Guard, with whom he is exceedingly popular. He delivered his first address in Alexander hall. He was met at the station by the Colored Home Guard band, led by Major D. A. Holmés, and escorted to the regimental hall, Ninth street and Washington boulevard and Third and Oakland. The other meeting followed, where the governor delivered another inspiring patriotic address at Fifty-sixth North James St. Here he met with the same enthusiastic reception and was accorded the usual enthusiastic applause. All of these meetings were largely attended and the people, without exception, were hearty in their approval of the governor's sentiments. It is reported that Governor Capper is meeting with such enthusiastic receptions all over the state. His is the port of patriotism that the people like and his well known honesty and courage always give him cordial treatment. He is surely making a campaign along popular lines and in it all is clean and honorable in his treatment of all subjects. The Grand Court reports one of the best years they have had for some time, both financially and numerically. Speaks well for the new head. While the Kansas jurisdiction of K. P.'s has fared well, the war has cut in on the membership in some numbers to the extent, it has been materially felt. The Brigadier General, Thomas Kennedy, says: "While the Uniform department has lost a number of its most efficient men, who were in the draft, the companies are intact and those left are active in their respective Armories, with prospects of two new companies being organized later in the year." The out of town representatives left Thursday morning for their respective homes. They were entertained at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. while here. magnificent display-alone. The tender hand of the city in the form of the police department was not present to guard the viaduct from being overweighted, with the throng of eager humanity, a humanity so deeply imbued with the purpose of the occasion that it was unaware of its footing. As a result the "first casualty" of the war is a woman dead, another maimed for life. Now the contrast might be continued, but enough. Now citizens of Kansas' City! Isn't it about time that we realize fully our citizenship, the oneness of purpose of the war? Isn't it about time that a spirit of human fellowship starts its development? These boys are suffering the pangs of separation from home and loved ones; the rigors of camp life, the dangers of the battle line, for a common cause. Ought we not make their departure a common cause? Possibly we did not think. There will be another occasion. To my fellow citizens in the interest of a better humanity. G. A. GREGG, President Kansas City, Kansas, Branch of the National Association of Colored People. The Adelphia Art club gave an outing at Mrs. O. J. Lee's of Muncie, at its last meeting. A very enjoyable time was had, nad they closed for a vacation. They will have their opening meeting, in September at Mrs. A. M. Brown's on Freeman ave- KANSAS CITY, KAN., FRIDAY JULY 26, 1918. CONGRESSMAN E.C. LITTLE'S RECORD To the Voters: Our country is involved in a great war. Your Congressman is the only man in Kansas running for Congressman or Senator or Governor who ever risked his life in battle for his country. With the Twentieth Kansas I fought in eleven pitched battles and many minor engagements and I am the only candidate (except one in another district) for these offices that ever volunteered to fight for his country, and have as extended and familiar acquaintance with military affairs as any man in Congress. Since the war began I have voted for every measure without a solitary exception which was offered to sus- has about making a living trying lawsuits. If everybody had stayed at home during the Spanish war he did, though a bachelor without dependents, as now, Cuba and the Philippines would still be subject to Spanish slavery. My opponent was old enough to go to the Spanish war is young enough to go to this, an volunteer in neither, and he without dependents. Yet he has ventured to issue many thousands of an anonymous Kansas City, Kansas, newspaper, without a publisher named, and without authority to circulate through the mails, bitterly and falsely assailing me, though I had never attacked him. Let him go and fight for his country as I did before he begins insulting a soldier of the Republic. This is a time for soldiers COL. E. C. LITTLE. tain the army, to uphold the administration and to win the war, including the draft, the volunteer army and a bill taxing Congressmen on their incomes and by a super tax and an excess profit tax, all of which I paid to the amount of $799.90. Any statement contradicting either of my above statements is maliciously untrue. Made a Sober Army. The night war was declared I introduced the first war measure, my bill to establish a twenty-mile prohibition zone around every fort or camp. The American Issue, the National organ fo the Anti-Saloon League, said that Col. Little was entitled to this credit, that my bill had brought to pass and was responsible for the executive order now in existence establishing a five-mile zone around the camps and making a sober army, which is the fact. I originated the idea. This is conceded to be the greatest improvement that has been made in the American army during this war and was brought about by your Representative from the Second Kansas District. Saved $70,000,000. On January 23, 1918, a bill was brought in to waive the government liens for money advanced to aid irrigation projects. Congressman Ferris, chairman of the National Democratic ongressional Committee, then said that if this bill passed, the government "would be bilked out of $70,000,000. Congressman Little was the only member of the Irrigation Committee who opposed the bill. He controlled the time and led the fight against and closed the debate against the bill, and made a motion to strike out the enacting clause and kill the bill, which was carried by a vote of 276 to 52, the first committee bill bedded in the House and Little then saved the tax-payers and future irrigation people $70,000,000, which is as great a service as any man in this Congress has rendered the people of the country. Winning the War. Better than anybody else, of course, those of us who fought in other wars realize the absolute necessity of winning this war and putting every nerve and pound into it. When this war began I had fought in as many battles and commanded as many troops in action as any Major General in the regular army, and so I volunteered and asked the Secretary of War for authority to raise a division of volunteers. My opponent announced his candidacy, against me on Kansas Day, 1917, five weeks before my term of service began and sixty days before war, was declared, and he did not mention the question of war. October 1st, 1917, six months after war began, he issued his circular, he did not say one word in favor of war, one word of pledge as to winning it, though. I had already volunteered and for six months had supported every measure without exception to win it. The man had no more idea about winning, the war than he ADVOCATE has about making a living trying lawsuits. If everybody had stayed at home during the Spanish war as he did, though a bachelor without dependents, as now, Cuba and the Philippines would still be subject to Spanish slavery. My opponent was old enough to go to the Spanish war, is young enough to go to this, and volunteered in neither, and he without dependents. Yet he has ventured to issue many thousands of an anonymous Kansas City, Kansas, newspaper, without a publisher named, and without authority to circulate through the mails, bitterly and falsely assailing me, though I had never attacked him. Let him go and fight for his country as I did before he begins insulting a soldier of the Republic. This is a time for soldiers, not for slackers. Since this war began I have supported every measure to make it a success. I challenge anybody running against me to name any votes I cast since the war began that he would have opposed. Little Had 4.00 0Majority. In 1911 when we had 3,500 majority, my opponent with his $3,000 assessment, wrecked the party and gave the Democrats the district, for three terms, which I carried by 4,000 majority, though my present opponent fought out a big fight in the Supreme Court to beat me out of the nomination. Little knocked out a provision (Cong. Rec. April 8, 1918) that America should pay Germany for damages done by our troops, knocked out a clause (Cong. Rec. 1917, April 14 and 18) that would have allowed Villa to enlist men here to fight us, began the move (Cong. Rec. May 2 and 4, 1917—that saved the press a jury trial, started the fight (Cong. Rec. February 28, 1918—that put in a provision for the payment of people who had claims against railroads before they went into government hands, made Haskell Institute the largest Indian school in the United States, and put Kansas City, Kansas, on the 6-foot channel improvement on the Missouri river, the biggest thing ever done for Kansas City), Kansas, in Congress. I put the finishing touch on the Civil War widows' and old soldiers' pension bill, and secured pensions for scores of veterans and widows, working twelve hours a day on the average since I have been in Congress. I made a fight (Cong. Rec. 1917, Appendix 703, and 1918, January 28 and February 5- to secure for Kansas farmers the same treatment, accorded cotton farmers of the South, and to have the same regulations for the things they buy as for the wheat they sell. I fought (Cong. Rec. 1917, pages 4420 and 4499) to secure fighting soldiers the right to enter public land while in Europe, and (Cong. Rec. 1917, Appendix 674, and pages 6898 to 7098) to give every soldier $2,000 insurance against death or permanent disability in battle. I secured from the President of the United States a commission as First Lieutenant for William Trombly, who swa mthe Rio Grande and won a gold medal from the United States for valor, after the War Department had refused to consider him. This is the only commission that has ben thus granted. Conscription of Big Incomes. Conscription of Big Incomes. The big campaign fund being used against me has been raised because I am fighting to conscript big incomes and profits of profiteers. There is no reason why any rich man should make a dollar out of this war. There is no reason why any man should keep any income over $100,000.00, while men die for the Republic, and because I have dared to say these things there is a big campaign fund out against me. A Second Term. A Second Term. Every officer is given a second term. Being a Congressman is like learning any trade and it takes the first term to learn the ropes. What I have learned here will be invaluable from now on to the district and our boys at the front. Though always without dependents, my opponent was a slacker in the other war and never volunteered in this. There is no reason why he should supplant a soldier. My speeches on How to Win the War by Arming the Armenians to Fight the Turks, on Slackers Getting-Soldiers' Honors in Washington, on Taxation, have been quoted in the New York Tribune and all-over the country and circulated in every state, one being translated into three languages. During my first term in Congress, ninety-two Republicans in Congress endorsed me in writing for one of our nine places on the most im- Big White-top Fil Night---Sunday Night Church Goes to C tion Hall Big White-top Filled Every Night---Sunday Night Every Church Goes to Convention Hall Spurgeon of the race, Rev. C. T. Walker, D. D., of August, Ga. Dr. C. T. Walker, on Tuesday evening, made his first appearance on the Kansa莎 City Chautauqua platform and for an hour and a half he, with his wit and well directed argument of facts, entertained a large audience of our best thinking citizens of the two cities. Thursday evening this great thinker drew to the uttermost when he esoke on "Your Flag and My Flag." The chorus of several hundred well trained voices, under the supervision of Prof. R. G. Jackson, grows every evening in the hearts of the people. It is simply doing its bit in making the Chautauqua a success. Those who do not avail themselves of the opportunity of attending these meetings of thought and helpfulness are missing much. Accident Marred Our Soldier Accident Marred Farewell of Our Soldier Boys were injured in the accident, but with the exception of the above, none of them seriously. This accident, after such a mammoth demonstration to our boys on Sixth street, Minnesota avenue and all the way to the depot, with 150 home guards, three of our best hands, the Second regiment K. P. of Kansas City, Mo., Inter-City and the First regiment K. P. of Kansas City, Kansas, with more than a hundred automobiles, flivvers, taxies and other conveyances, with mothers, wives, sweethearts and friends, marching by the side of the draftees the entire route, brought an uncalled for gloom and sorrow to the hearts of many. This bridge is known to be unsafe; there should have been officers present to have kept the throng of people off of it. SHE HAS NO BROTHER, SO SHE IS DOING HER BIT. SHE HAS NO BROTHER, SO SHE IS DOING HER BIT. Miss Hattie Eslinger of 310 W. Pine street, who has ben a resident of Wichita for the psat five years, has offered her services to the U. S. as a nurse to look after our boys. She will take the examination some time in August and after that will be ready to go to the front. She said she remember when she was a small child she used to hear the old folks say "when you are having peace prepare for war." She said there would be five or more join her in St. Louis. She is a student of the Chicago School of Nursing, 1913 class. Her mother and father are proud to know that they have one who is willing to serve. She will visit friends in Missouri and Illinois. --- The Ohautauqua, which has been running under the auspices of the Federated churches of the two cities for the past week, on the Paseo, has brought great crowds each night and those who have attended have been greatly helped. Rev. R. C. Ransom of. New York City, closed this contract Monday night to a large and appreciative audience of good listeners. Dr. Ransom gave three lectures, as but few men of the country is able to deliver. The audiences seem never to tire of hearing the wonderful and far-seeing logic into the future of this great thinker. On Sunday evening the big white tent was jammed long before the hour had arrived for the opening and many hundreds were turned away, so the committee has arranged to hold this Sunday's evening meeting in Convention Hall, so everybody may be accommodated and hear the black The accident that occurred at the Union Pacific depot at Armstrong Station when the overhead bridge gateway, resulted in the death of one woman and the amputation of another's arm. This bridge is supposed to be condemned and while thousands of men, women and children had gathered on this overhead structure to watch our boys leave and wave a long and sad farewell for some, probably for the last time, the flooring all of a sudden gave away and a number were precipitated to the railroad tracks, some 30 feet. In this fall, Mrs. J. A. Burke, 42 years old, 437 Walker avenue, died Saturday, at St. Margaret's hospital. Mrs. Elsie Harris, 27 years old, 326 Nebraska avenue, was so seriously injured in the accident that she may lose her right arm. Several persons KANSAS DAY. Kansas Day will be appropriately celebrated at the Chautauqua Sunday afternoon at Metropolitan Temple; and Sunday night at Convention Hall.

Because of my record here, because of my experience in war and in the diplomatic corps and at the bar, all useful here, because I carried the district by 4,000 which the other man lost, and have done good service in Congress. I ask the Republicans of this district to give me a second term, which is always conceded, to every man holding office and for which there was never so much occasion as right now in Congress, where we must serve our beloved country with every ounce and atom of experience and of battle-tried patriotism, in order that the sacrifices of our soldiers and taxpayers shall not be in vain.

Morgan’s deserved _ personal strength is winning him the nomina- tion for Governor. His unquestioned qualification, scholarship, broad cul- ture and familiarity with all depart-- ments of government are recognized throughout the state. His varied ex- perience in statecraft places him head and shoulders above his compet- itors for the responsible position. He is familiar with legislative methods and needs, his long experience in the legislature, in the house as a mem- ber and as presiding officer of the senate, bringing him into close touch with this end of the important business of the state, contribute greatly towards his equipment fox the executive position. Governor Morgan will receive a ‘ig vote from the intelligent colored electorate, both because he has all along his career proven his friend- ship for our people, but he will re- ceive their support because of his pre-eminent qualifications for the po- sition, Kansas needs just such men as Governor Morgan for its chief execu- tive. His progressive, sane ideas always practieal and full of common sense, will make him a most accept- able official to direct the affairs, so varied and imporiant, of the great state, which he so ardently loves, He is a native of Kansas and he is thoroughlys familiar with her history and acquainted with her needs. He is a graduate of the Kansas State University and is aware of the edu- cational demands of the common- wealth. Yes, Morgan is deservedly popular personally and officially. His nomination would reflect honor. on the Republicans of Kansas and he will receive the largest vote ever cast, in the state for any man for governor, if nominated, and should he become the chief executive, Kan- sas will never have cause to blush for any of his official acts. j WELL QUALIFIED. At the approaching primary elec- tion, August 6, candidates for the various offices to be filled at the Zall selection will be selected, Among the-many god men who are offering to serve the various politi- cal organizations as candidates, Hon. Walter A. Layton, of Osborne county, is seeking the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Govern- or. Mr. ‘Layton has served two terms in the House, the last term he was speaker pro tem. In this position he demonstrated his fitness as a pre- siding officer, but that is the least of the duties that the Lieutenant Governor might be called upon to fill. Some emergency might arise when he would be called upon to serve the state as Governor. When anxious politicians asked the late President McKinley, whom he would suggest as his running mate for the ‘second term, he at once advised that such a position should always be filled with % possibility of the succession to the presidency. The same excellent ad- vie might be given relative: to that of Lieutenant"Governor, The nomi- nition should always be Pade with a xYiew to tho succession! ’ From Mr. Layton’s varied experi- jence he should be well equipped fér sthe position under any circumstances, ‘Af-he should receive the nomifation, he will make a strong race and, if elected will fill all requirements of the-position. - - 4 THE-WEEKLY ANNOUNCER .’, .
