Great Revival Meetings at First A. M. E. Church. "Where Will You Spend Eternity?" --- KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50. THE COMING MAN GOVERNOR FRANK O. LOWDEN Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, is rapidly coming to the front as a favored candidate for President. That great state, who gave Lincoln to the nation, in its most trying period, is deservedly proud of its "War Governor," who put into shape a great fighting machine, one of the regiments being the old First, of the Illinois National Guards, of which the Governor had served as Lieutenant Colonel. It made advancement rapidly and became the 131st infantry and in this regiment the governor sent his son,, who did valiant service across the sea and wears a gold star, as evidence of loyalty and bravery in the service of his country. Many see the Governor as another "Log Cabin" President, for be it known that Frank O. Lowden was principally brought up in a log cabin in Hardin county, Iowa, to which prairie home his father brought his family from Pennsylvania and settled on a farm in the new state, where the hardships of the farmer of that day were shared by this humble "son of the soil," making a farm from the virgin lands of that promising commonwealth. Young Lowden industriously labored with his father to build a home in the new country and at the same time devoted all his spare time towards securing an education. Of course he had few opportunities to study and his education was obtained by hard work. But he was a determined lad and by industry and close application using every avenue opened to him, he succeeded in securing a high degree of culture, which seasoned with good common sense, his efforts were crowned with great success, not stopping in his effort to prepare himself for the important duties which awaited him. In his efforts to secure an education, he finally was so far advanced as to be able to teach and to supplement a small salary, he was his own janitor. Finally when he graduated from the university, he stood at the head of his class. He then took a course in law and spent a number of years in a successful practice, in his adopted state of Illinois. From the time he was examine dfor admittance to the bar, he attracted favorable attention and was the subject of much comment from men of ability in the great profession. As an advocate he has few equals, An orator of the first rank, with a keen, logical mind, favored with good business sense and with an indomitable energy, he soon worked his way to the highest practice. With his recognized talents and unquestioned honesty and wonderful personal popularity, his service was soon demanded in the realm of politics. But he steadily refused to be led from his chosen profession, until he was finally induced to enter the doubtful field of politics and rendered valuable service in the election of McKinley to the presidency. His wonderful faculty for organizing was recognized by those engaged in national politics and after Mr. McKinley was elected he heartily offered Col. Lowden a prominent appointive position at Washington, but he firmly declined it, not wanting to sever his relations with the activities of his profession. In addition to his law practice, his early love for the country and farm life led him to purchase a farm near the town of Oregon, to which he devoted much of his attention and has built one of the most attractive country homes to be seen. But his services were demanded to such a great extent that he was induced to run for congress and was successfully elected from the thirteenth Illinois district in 1906. But after two terms Col. Lowden voluntarily retired from congress and gave much of his time to the development of his country home. He was a tireless worker as he has always been in whatever he undertakes. In addition to his notable speech, advocating publicity, relative to the activities of the great industries of the country, he worked and voted for limiting the hours of labor of train crews, the employers' liability act, the act regulating child labor in the District of Columbia and was one of the prominent advocates in establishing the Postal Savings. Bank system and in other important matters of legislation, Gov. Lowden was active. Notwithstanding the Governor delighted to work and manage his farm, the people of Illinois would not let him stay where his heart was so devoted, but elected him Governor, by the tremendous vote of nearly 150,000 majority. While declaring that he did not offer any boastful promises of "high ideals." the new governor took hold of his duties with a vigor that was not only new, but delightful, calling attention to many evils that had worked themselves into the public service in the state, he set ihmself at one toward correcting them. He first stated that he wanted the very highest class of men connected with the executive department of the state and declared that he would hold his appointees responsible for first class service, in fact, the class of service for the public which men give to private business and he not only demanded it, but secured just that kind of service, so that many valuable reforms have been introduced which have proven themselves to be highly practical and profitable to the state GOVERNOR FRANK O. LOWDEN of Illinois. with great saving to the tax payers. In other words, Governor Lowden is a practical common sense reformer, one who does not boast of his acts but goes right on and does things. He holds that from the moment that a man enters the public service, from that time on, until his term expires, his duty is to the public. In politics the governor has always been a staunch Rpublican, as Jay House would say, without "any suffixes, prefixes or appendixes." Just a Republican Republican. He believes that the most loyal man to his party is the most loyal to his country and to the country's interest. Religiously, as most public men are, by the way, he is a devoted attendant and supporter of the church, in all its work, he manifests much interest of a personal sort. In his home the Governor is a devoted husband and father. His talented wife is the daughter of the distinguished founder of the great business which bears his name, George Pullman, of Chicago. She is a woman noted the country over for her activity in all work of charity and welfare and in this she is most inexactly assisted by the Governor. Col. Lowden is a real governor. When war was declared by congress Gov. Lowden at once issued a statement to the people of Illinois in which he emphatically declared that it is the duty of all Americans to rally to the support of President Wilson and throughout the struggle he was always ready to render his acceptabl service and because of his loyalty and vigorous support of war measures, he gained the well earned title "Illinois war Governor," so ably sustained by Dick Yates, a half century ago. The Governor was born in 1861 and carries the "mark" of the sort of patriotism which obtained in those critical times, when the first "Log Cabin" president so ably carried his country through safely. It may be, that Illinois is to furnish the country with another "Log Cabin" president. During the brief struggle with Germany, Gov. Lowden visited the troops and encouraged them in every possible manner. He appointed an able Council of Defense, consisting of all political parties, and while his state was considered by national authorities one of the most critical, the Governor soon convinced the element which might make trouble, that he KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1919 would stand for no foolishness. And he continually manifests much interest in public matters. His state was the twenty-first state to ratify the dry amendment, it was highly proper that it should be, as it is the 21st state admitted into the Union. Socially the Governor is very popular, genial in his intercourse with his fellows and is an active member of many societies and clubs. He is a constant reader of the best literature and his warm social disposition makes him wonderfully popular both in private and public. If Governor Lowden should be the choice of the Republican party he will prove a most popular and successful candidate. His record is one of the best, free from all sorts of unfavorable criticism. He will be exceptionally popular in the west and middle west, which will be a territory that will count on election day. There is no doubt that the next president will be a Republican and if he should eminate from Illinois, he will be another strong man, such as that state gave to the nation in the days that tried men's souls. He will be strong with all elements, the labor vote will be among the first to recognize his great service to labor while in congress. The colored vote will give him most cordial support, as he has always proven himself to be the friend if the race and to all men of whatever degree of birth and environment. He is rapidly gaining in strength, as the country realizes that it needs a good strong statesman and good practical business man at the White House and Gov. Lowden would fill the requirements fully.

WEATHER FORECAST FOR KANSAS CITY AND VICINITY From the 14th to the 22nd generally cloudy, rain probably; shifting winds and moderate temperature. Occasional sunshine. —By Rev. C. F. Collins, Astro. ADVOCATE J. O. BROWSED IN KANSAS AFTER LEAVING TULSA Chicago, Ill.—It is raining in Chilike it was in Texas, and the people can not stop it, but they have been able to stop some other things around and about this man's town that they could not stop in other places, and now things are normal here and every fellow is attending to his business. Of course you heard about an election recently, and Kentucky placed itself on record as a Republican state, and they will have a Republican governor in the future. We will all take our hats off to Kentucky, and I will not say more about it just now, but may have something to say about it in a few days. What have you been doing since I saw you last? What wind has been blowing your way without blowing you away? Whose life have you touched for good? Believe me, honey, I have been going some and will go some more before this thing is over, for going seems to be a part of my name. Last week, down in Oklahoma, looking at some of the ballot battles being fought there in an annual conference, where delegates were being elected to the next general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church. Where men will contend for the mastery and where some will be elected and some will be left out. I told you some of the things which had happened, and some of the men have already been elected to the episcopacy, and to general offices so far as some of the votes of the conferences are concerned, but permit me to tell them that this is not election, and they will have a long ways to go; for it is "Long, long way to election, and a long way to go." It was a pleasur to get around in Tulsa, and to see the great things being done there for the race. There needs to be much done for this race, before it is ended, and as I see it now it is not going to end. Now perhaps you want to know where I have been and what I have been doing since I saw you last, and if you do I will tell you as much as you ought to know and what you ought not to know I am not going to tell you. I left Tulsa and beat it to Wichita, Kansas. Mrs. J. W. Hughes sent me a fine eating lunch by Miss Blanche Woodford, and believe me, honey, I certainly did get on the outside of it, as I rode along the road, making it to town, and when I got to Wichita, Dr. J. R. Ransom had some duck, cooked in the latest duck style, and believe me it found its way into my eternity. I had the pleasure of seeing that new temple which has been erected by the Rev. Dr. S. B. Butler, who is some man, believe me, honey. I was delighted to look upon it, and to behold the man. They have not furnished the auditorium, but when it is furnished it will be some pumpkins and don't you forget it. He has a fine wife, who is some church worker herself, and an ideal woman for a preacher's wife. I believe she was made to order, just like Mrs. J. R. Ransom. I did not get to see so many people. I attended the series in the A. M. E. church and heard a sermon by Charles Stewart, and left that night with him for Topeka. Dr. Ransom rode the same wagon and we enjoyed the time asleep. Topeka wa sreached and there I found two boys from the Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, awaiting me, with the automobile. I was received by President Bridgeforth, right into his home, and you know I am getting to be some pumkins, when I am received into the home of the president of a big school. He shook my lily black hand, and told me to be at home with him and his family, and was surprised when I told him I was going to leave that very day for another part of the world. He said then he would make god use of my trip there and he did. I had to make some scattering remarks to the students, eat some, and talk with the president. I visited every class room, observed the work of the teachers, went into ever department, and saw what was going on there, and I tell you this institution is going to be just what it was called in the opening, "Western Tuskegee." Prof. Bridgeforth is a THOS. KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. good president, and is getting things well in hand. He has the confidence of the officials of the state, hence he is able to do good work and is doing it. I feel like telling you many things at this writing, but will refrain from doing so. I feel like discussing each teacher and work done, and how they do it. I have observed. I wanted to get back to the Farmer's meeting, but things are not like they used to be, hence I could not get back. But I moved along, and perhaps some time there will be a change and I can make it. It is nice to see just how well these people are doing their work and how they are following their leader. I was delighted to have the pleasure of shaking hands with Mrs.Perry the wife of Dr. Perry. She is down there doing extension work. Her position takes her all over the state. She was as busy as busy could be. She is polite, courteous, and knows how to treat even an old country jay like me, and I want to congratulate Kansas on being able to get such a woman. She is the right saint in the right pew. She belongs in the amen corner in educational work. The day was spent there, and in the afternoon, after talking with Mrs. John M. Wright, over the hello box, I beat it to Kansas City, Mo., spending a few hours there, and took supper with Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair, and got on the wagon and rode to Carrollton, Mo., where I was invited by the Rev. L. W. Harris last September to come and meet the people. I went there and met the people. First, I visited the school, found three busy teachers, with Prof. Smith as principal. He certainly did give me some fried chicken, which I got on the outside of and Mrs. Corinne Bodine furnished be with a piece of smothered chicken, and then to meet the people. The crowd was small, but enthusiastic. The leading grocery of our people is run by Clarence Reed, and believe me when I tell you that he needs to go to some business school and learn a little about courtesy, politeness and how to make good and to answer questions. So many of our people do not know this, and especially will it apply to this brother of the race to which I have the distinguished honor of belonging, and helping to make. I have not yet touched that little knowledge bump of his yet. Success, prosperity and money have gone to his brains, and he now has a bad case of the big head, but if he will take this prescription I feel that it will cure him, and he will have even greater success. "Take with care a large dose of common sense, three times a day." Back to Kansas City, where I spent a whole day, and had the pleasure of coming in touch with Pastor Griffin of the First A. M. E. church, and found him a real busy man. Mrs. Norine Davis, Grand Worthy Counseller of the Calanthes was getting ready to make a trip to a board meeting, and Grand Chancellor Thompson, M. D., was a busy man. I took'one meal with Mrs. Davis, and it was good. She is some cook. Her daughter is now doing work down in Oklahoma. She is at the Langston University, and I am told doing good work. I went to the undertaking establishment of young Nathan W.Thatcher, who is fixed for doing business, and associated with him is one of the most noted men in the business in this country, R. C. Houston, Jr., and believe me, honey, he knows his business. A few hours or minutes at least were spent in the High school, but I am going to give a whole letter to that. Took lunch with Dr. and Mrs. Griffin, talked with a number of friends, and then I took it over town got myself together, found me a bed car and beat it to Chicago, but will soon be away from here. This is all I am going to say about things just now. The big chorus at the revival meeting at First A. M. E. church is drawing great crowds every night. The Sewing Circle of First A.M. E. church was entertained last Friday at the home of Mrs. Moore, 209 Greeley avenue. A delightful time was spent and much work accomplished. MRS, PEARL BRYANT. President. MRS, MARY LEE. Secretary.

On the first page of The Advocate will be found a brief sketch relative to Governor Lowden of Illinois, Among the number that seem to be looming up as candidates of the Re- publicans for the race in 1920 this farmer-lawyer, statesman and _busi- ness man is rapidly pushing to the front. He is 2 national character, with whom’ the other candidates will have to reckon in this race. Governor Lowden’s training and life, in all its bearings, makes his case an unusually strong one. His thorough honesty and good common hard sense with 2 depth of culture and experence in statecraft, pre-em- inently has prepared him for the great duties of chief executive of the nation. He is just in his prime and will be able to rendcr his country most accepiable service, should he be chosen to fill the place. The Republi- can party will make no mistake in selecting such a man as Gov. Lowden, who has been tried and not found a “Misfit” in any particular, Our people, as, in fact, the entire west, should heartily rally to the standard of such a man as Governor Lowden of Illinois. He is just such a man as the country demands, com: ing up from the common people struggling with poverty to prepare -himself for life's duties and alway: in sympathy with those who have tc struggle as he did, he at once gain: their confidence and esteem. Mere over, his business methods as appliec to public service are very popular it this age of uncertainty and wan: o confidence, generally, in public men. While the Republicans will cler wit hease, in this next national con test, it is important that no mistak be made in selecting a candidate, on in whom the people have confidence not enly as a red blooded Americar but one of honesty and practica business ideas and statesman lik principles and habits of thought an action. ” The editor acknowledged an invi- tation by telegram from Presid2nt Bridgeforth of the Topeka Industrial ‘Institute. of Topeka, Kansas. ‘his week, all expenses covered, to br present at their annual conferencé this week, but owing to being tied ur as a juror, it was impossible to re spond, much to our regret.

HOLZMARK REAL ESTATE 732 MINNESOTA AVENUE PHONES WEST 53 KANSAS CITY, KANSAS "ALONG THE LIN EOF REASON." A wise and important member of the race, is heard to say, "O I am tired of that rot; give us arest from that stuff." Well, let us agree with my good friend,—that you are "tired of it." And we will go a step further, and admit, that for the reason that you are tired; that you have ceased to proceed along that line, or that you have never started on it; any thing or any way; just so it may be settled that you are not on the line now or do not bother a great deal about reasoning. Granting, all that has been said, still you are not in a class all to yourself. It is a very common thing for persons to grow tired of reason, and yet it is also very plain truth; that when person grow tired of reason;—they generally have (it may not be noticed immediately) a very close connection with its opposite—something foolish. Such has been true in all ages of the world, and is now, and still, the truth. The Kaiser was "tired" of reason; that is why he "raised so much hell on earth." So you are not alone by any means, by being "tired of reasoning." All those who go wrong are in your class, and you are in the class with all those who think and act wrongly. No,—No, you are not alone—there are lots and scores of people in the same situation. Up to Nov. 7th eleven Negroes had been convicted to hang and thirty-seven for the prison, at Helena, Ark., for daring to think of being citizens of the United States entitled to exercise rights as such. This unprecedented record of wrongful application and use of the law, was obtained by a portion of the citizens who are "tired" of and who do not reason. Now then, all well inclined persons, all persons who reason well, as well also, those who are "tired of such stuff" will agree, with all that I, or anyone, could say in the bitterest condemnation of those people in Arkansas who are responsible for what has happened near Helena recently. All will join in the conclusion that the result came about by a failure on the part of such persons to perform their duty. That is to say, by a failure to respect the right of those who were grossly wronged, in and by acts of usurpation and outrage. All will agree that such conduct was without and beyond reason; and therefore, unqualifiedly wrong. And with all that; to which you so readily agree, you must also further agree; and you cannot get away from it. "That these arch wrongdoers are also in your class," i.e., they are "Tired of reasoning" and had ceased to reason, or had never begun the art. And you will further agree, that all who do not reason, either because they "Have grown tired of it." or have never begun, are also in your class. It is quite a large class, and catches all those in the everyday walks of life, who have business and trade transactions which can be properly conducted and handled by members of our own race, but who refuse to employ members of the race in such instances, simply because they are, like themselves, Negroes. The field in which there is the greatest degree of shortcoming along that LOANS line, is that of the learned professions; other than the ministry "Of the Gospel," All members of the race seem satisfied to receive their religious "dope" from members of the race; however you may decide for yourselves, to what extent that is caused by reason of the fact, that they can not do otherwise. For the very reason that their "Other Friends" will not dish out that sort of "Dope" to them—they seem satisfied to let us go to "hell in a hand-basket" or without any bundling at all; rather than to be bound to give us religious "dope" regularly. And yet 'tis said, that there are certain religious "dopesters" of our own race, who are hard "Shoulder-strappers and swashbucklers" in turning professional business men from men of their own race to persons of the other. That's pretty "Rocky" when you come right down to think about it—to hear him trying to keep you out of Hell, when you are throubh here, and at the same time, making it as hot as Hell, when you are through here, and really shameful to contemplate—the number who have professional business—who will walk around competent persons in their own race, to take it to persons of another race, who can not, and do not serve them as well. And these Negroes do well knowing full well, that there are times and under which they would not think of calling to, those persons to whom they carry such favors. And every one of them, who do such things, know what I mean—and know what I say is true. And you know it is the wrong and foolish thing to do. Anr you further know, we will never get somewhere, as long as we do such. Once upon a time, action along this line was taken in the Civic League, to the effect; that propaganda sermons should be given in all churches. It is time to begin. I believe it will do good.
