April 3rd, Tenth an METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Again after perusing this newspaper and the bulletin boards, a large congregation attended this church, morning and night. In the Sunday school, pupils from 9 to 16 united with the church. At 11 a. m., the pastor preached one of the finest sermons we have ever heard on "The Christian Home," and several adults joined the church. At 4 p. m. Mesdames S. H. Thompson and H. Watkins and others addressed the Citizens' Forum at this church At 7:45 p. m., r. J C. Patton preached. When the choir of more than 20 voices sang "I'm Satisfied," many amens were heard, but the song that caused the greatest spiritual rejoicing was "My Lord Says There's Room Enough in Heaven for Us All," sung by the congregation. Several joined the church, some among them being converts. The collecion was large. Next Sunday, March 30, is a welcome day for all, as the revival will still be in progress and there will be many noted evangelists around and either they or Pastor Holmes, will preach a fine sermon.

Our soldier boys of the 92nd Division are coming in almost very day from the various camps, where they are mustered out. The boys have some exciting experiences to tell, and the ridiculous part is how our brave boys were treated by their own Americans in white. These statements are not only made by our own boys, but by fair-minded white soldiers, who have returned from over seas. Col. E. C. Little, congressman of this district, is home from Washington for some six weeks. The colonel is looking exceedingly well. He spoke before the state legislature just before it closed. The editor of The Advocate takes pleasure in congratulating his good friend, W. P. Kemp, editor of The Detroit Leader, in being appointed by Governor Sleeper, as oil inspector in the city of Detroit.

It is an unwritten law in Kansas, that when an official has been faithful and has shown his qualification for the position which he has filled the first term of his official service, he is entitled to an endorsement by the public for a second term. Of course it all implies that he has made good for the time which he has served. The present city administration is basing its claims for recognition for a second term upon its record during the past two years. Among other things they call attention to the vast amount of reconstruction in al the departments of the city's government. They call attention to the many difficult problems which confronted them. In addition to their work as commissioners they served the government as the draft board by the direction of the war department. In this trying position they performed their patriotic duty with faithfulness to the government and fairness towards the selected men. The friends of Mayor Mendenhall call attention to the fact that the mayor has devoted his time with energy and skill in the performance of his intricate and trying duties. They call attention to his long residence in the city and point with pride to his history during all those thirty years of citizenship in Kansas City, Kansas. beginning as a drayman, the owner of a single horse and wagon, and by industry and faithfulness he has arisen to reap the results of a life of service well-performed, in all the departments to which his service has been called. As an humble draymay to sheriff, alderman and mayor, in all of which his admirers call attention and urge that such faithfulness is worthy of an indorsement. Commissioner L. H. Chapman. an expert engineer, who has had charge of the development and operation of the water and light department under the present administration, has brought these departments up to great efficiency and not only so but has provided cheap rates for water and electricity, and, notwithstanding the many improvements in the quality of the service his department has been able to earn a goodly sum amounting away up into the many thousands of dollars and he has, in addition, paid off a large share of indebtedness and set aside a big fund for redemption of bonds. In the face of increased operating expenses. of 75 per cent, and an increase of 20 per cent for maintenance, he has made this great record. Commissioner Chapman's friends claim that his record is one which fully deserves recognition by an indorsement for another term. Commisssioner Little of the finance department under the present administration claims as his justification for a re-election, that he has made good. He has inaugurated many popular financial measures notwithstanding it was deemed all but impossible to cary some of them to a successful termination. The finances of the city were never in better condition it is generally acknowledged the happy condition is largely due to the ability and management of Commissioner Little.

CHURCH NEWS The church was crowded at the morning service, when Dr. Griffin delivered a wonderful sermon and a large audience was present at the evening service, when Rev. Wm. Mitchell, a local preacher, broke the bread of life to his hearers. Several connected themselves with the church. Miss Carney, after some week's illness, was able to be present, and took charge of the choir, which added greatly to the service. A number turned in their report from the banquet, which was such a success. Work will begin soon on the new gallery and decorating of the interior of the church, which when finished, will be one of the handsomest auditoriums west of the Mississippi river. The new pipe organ is being built and will be installed soon as it is finished. The committee on the banquet will be ready to make a full report Sunday. Dr. Griffin will fill his pulpit Sunday at both services. A large number of visitors and strangers are attending the service every Sundav of which many are joining the church. Visitors are ever welcome to First A. M. E. The Sunday school is full every Sunday and adults are increasing, to the satisfaction of the superintendent and his corps of teachers. --- ing the department of street and public improvements has been rendered with marked ability by Commissioner Beggs. His friends put forward strong claims for an indorsement of Mr. Beggs for re-election. Commissioner of Parks and Public Property J. B. Brown has had an unusually difficult part to perform, but his supporters claim that he has made good in this his first term and as in the case of the entire administration which stands for the endorsement for good service well and faithfully performed Commissioner Brown should be retained in the city's service. Each and every one of the present commissioners will run on his record and point with pride to a term of valuable service to the interests of the city and to the happiness and comfort of all the people. This is not a partisan election and votes cast should be with an eye to the best interests of all the people. The present commissioners guarantee a square deal to all in the future as they have been giving in the past. THE CITY PRIMARY. The primary for the nomination of candidates for the various positions for the city offices was held last Tuesday. The vote was scarcely one-third of the full vote usually cast at an election. With about 10,000 votes cast out of a total of about 30,000 is a very small vote. All the present city administration officials are again offering their services. If they have given satisfaction they should have received an endorsement for nomination and if they have not, then they should have been so informed by an emphatic "vote. It is not an indication of opposition or endorsement that the vote was so light, but is clearly a case of indifference The administration candidates were renominated and all those candidates supported by the labor organizations were also nominated leading in the primary by large votes. The lead of the labor candidates over the administration candidates runs from over four hundred to over eight hundred. Mr. James the labor candidate for mayor, received a larger vote than the present mayor by over eight hundred. The effect of the systematic canvass by the labor candidates had its effect in a very clear cut result. The effect of the unexpected large labor vote has put some ginger into the city election. So many other matters have been absorbing the attention of the public these last few strenuous years that so small a matter as a city election has been al- THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Corner Third street and Stewart avenue.

But the result of the primary has caused both sides to sit up and take notice and so there is a lively hustling to secure the favor of the people in the contest now being waged between the present administration candidates and those nominated by the labor element. Mr. Chapman is the one exception to other administration candidates it seems he received more votes at the primary than did his labor opponent all. All the other candidates recognized as the city administration candidates, were behind their rivals on the labor ticket at the primary. Attorney Dorsey Green, who was a candidate for member of the Board of Education at Monday's primary, made an excellent showing and had the wards, in which he was best known had not polled such a light vote he would have had the nomination easily. As it was, he only lacked a few votes of going over. Mr. Green led his other nearest opponent more than six hundred votes. The Advocate says keep it up and not only for this particular office, but other positions of both city and county. You are to be congratulated, Mr. Green, on the splendid vote received. Films are also being prepared as part of the campaign which the forest service is making in co-operation with the fuel administration for increased wood fuel production and the substitution of cordwood for coal in regions where coal will be scarce during the winter. Many features of the department's work which received little or no emphasis during the war, such as game preservation and the development of recreation on national forests, will also be featured in new films to be released during the winter months.

With not a single promise made to anyone, the men whose pictures are here shown will have each man in the city's employ stand on their own merits. There is nothing further from their thoughts than that of removing efficient men now in the city's employ. The Water and Light Department has many able men, as have all the other departments. The men who stand for these things, stand also on the platform of the American Federation of Labor platform, of "no discrimination of race, color or creed." These men have found the voice of the people as expressed in the vote at the Primaries last Monday. They had no money for campaigning purposes. Every Vote secured was from the spirit of Americanism. They did not offer amusements, or garden seed, or ice cream for a vote. All meetings were public, to all men and women. The campaign was educational, and the only appeal made was to lofty ideals, Americanism and intelligent pointing out of remedies for existing evils. These men stand for the upbuilding of the home and of the Kansas City, Kansas, homes in particular. They are honest. They are prepared to at once take hold of differences when they loom up as a menace to the city's industrial peace. We KNOW that a square deal to all labox, all business interests will be their attitude throughout their entire term of service. This city of 110,000 people has spoken through the ballot. Do not let lies, circulated by paid hirelings, keep you from the truth. Come out and vote for the people's choice on next Tuesday.
