CHURCH Corner Eighth Street and Nebraska Avenue OCTOBER 15TH TO 31ST REV. I. H. DIXON Florida's Greatest Preacher and Evangelist Will be in charge Come and hear this Gospel Preacher and Singer VOLUME VII MIDNIGHT GOES HOME TO VOTE Topeka, Kansas.—I have been going some, and I am going to go some more before you read this letter, and then I am going to land right in the city of Chicago, and there put in one for the retirement of the Democrats out of the White House in Washington and stick Senator Warren G. Harding right in. All of this is going to take place next Tuesday, and I hope you are going to be in the right side of the question. There will be but few of my people vote for Governor Cox, and you don't blame them for not I am sure. Speaking of Governor Cox, he has fallen into the line of the little ward peanut politician, who ran so far out of thought that the only thing he could find to say, was to assail the Negro, and he fell down, perhaps under the common peanut politician. A man who is so narrow as to abuse one part of the citidens of the country where he seeks to lead, is unfit, unqualifiedif, unprepared, unequal, and "un" anything else you may find to put after the "un," and you may cut this out and send it to him, and tell him that I said so. I am sorry that he could not find words enough in the League of Notions, enough real food for thought to talk about to the people without talking about me. We must be some pumpkins in this country. I am not angry, and I do not mean to say anything mean about Mr. Cox, for I am praying for him. I want that the God of heaven should remove that little race prejudice he has in his head and supply that room with the thoughts of a high cultured statesman. Tell him what is going on in the world, and let him produce thoughts and he will not have time to abuse me or my people. The world is demanding brains, and not men with heads full of sawdust, or wooden heads with gravel brains, but real sure 'nuf brains, not the kind you would find in a hog's head, but in a man's head. Yes, in the face of what he has had to say about my people, here and there you will find Negroes who have received a few dollars, who declare they are going to vote for Mr. Cox. I think God will take care of them and I am too busy to pay them any attention. Let Mr. Cox reach the White House, and then give him a Senate and House, and it is good bye "Mr. United States and Mr. Negro" for you will be doomed forever. This has been a great campaign without mud-slinging, except the little bit that the Democrats saw fit to sling at me and my people, and it will meet them up the road some day, and I will only pray, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." I commend the part to the God of Heaven, and will leave you for Wednesday morning the world will know that Sinaur Warren G. Harding is elected President of the United States. I congratulate him in advance. You will agree with me that I have been going some since I wrote you that letter in Texas, and I left there right after I mailed it, making it to Texarkana, stopping a few hours, then to Little Rock, where I spent a day with Dr. Joseph A. Booker and his interesting family. Attorney Robert Booker was as busy as could be, and it is delighted to touch hands with this refined cultured young man. He is busy all the time looking after his large law practice, and he possesses the kind of stuff out of which real lawyers are made, hence he is in the top class in his profession. He is one of the lawyers in the. Elaine case, and he is doing his work and doing it well. Time will tell the story. The cases of some of them TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. could not be reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United States because of some slight technical errors, but it can go to Governor Brough, and he will be asked to act. If the men are executed it will be a legal lynching. I will not forestall the action of the governor, hence I am not going to say all I have in mind to say, but will pass it up to him. He can render a great service to humanity and justice if he will save those men, and I think he will do that much. I will leave it. Rev. S. L. Green, president of Shorter college, Argenta, came in his automobile and toted me over to the school, and had me to see that large student body. I talked with them, talked with the people, went to Pine Bluff, talked to the people there, had a fine time there with President J. G. Ish, of Branch Normal college. he is one of the leading educators of our country and it was a pleasure to get in touch with brains. I shall talk about him in another issue. I dropped into St. John A. M. E. church where Dr. W. T. Pope was holding his last quarterly conferences. The people asked for Dr. Hill, and presiding Elder Pope. They meant it, too. Back to Little Rock, I met the students of the Arkansas Baptist college, and they have some students there. I feel that it is indeed a pleasure to see the good work Dr. Booker is doing for his people. He is just a born leader—a man who is doing things. Right by his side is his well trained wife, and then there are his daughters, and the lawyer, and his other son, William Booker, who is not ripe enough to pick yet. He is taking his college course as a foundation upon which to build a law course, and then step out in the world. I will not say anything about the little fellows. Speaking to the students, next found me on a train headed for the stable in company with Dr. V. M. Townsend, presiding elder. He toted me around in his fliver and landed me at the stable on time. Then off for Oklahoma City, reaching...there the next day, where I had the pleasure of meeting with the Baptist state convention, and speaking to them about Senator Warren G. Harding, and his mate, Coolidge. I found that the people were ready for the question. I had the pleasure of going home with Miss Florrie D. Pugh to dinner, but I am not going to talk about eating. This young woman was just working her bran's out trying to get women registered for next Tuesday. The jig was up last Friday, and she had landed almost every woman in her own precinct; in others also. She is one more worker. I wish I had the time and space tell you all the things I saw in this Oklahoma City, but will not do so. I walked around and rode around, visited the public school, talked with Dr. A. L. Boone, president of the Texas Missionary and Educational Baptist convention, and touchel hands with others, then I made it around until I met Rev. S. B. Butler, of Wichita, in whose home I am now. I am sure you will remember him, because he is treasurer of the National Board Y P U. S cety, and to be treasurer of any National organization says you have money. This is the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. congress of which he holds the money. He is so man of ability, and makes friends, and I am glad to be in his home, while I am here in this town telling the people about Warren G. Haiding, and the next election for Tuesday. Wichita has a few Democrats of our race, but will get religious between this and next Tuesday and join the Republican party, instead of following after them demies who will land them in that summer clime.

Rev. Butler has been doing some real work here this week. I mean in this town. He has erected a fine church at the cost of $50,000 and all within two years. He is going some. I expect to see him in Heaven. He is a man of affairs and ability to match. I think that I have to bring this letter to a stop. Don't fail to stick in your vote next Tuesday for the whole Republican ticket, which will mean protection to yourself, property and an opportunity before the law. God deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and let our friends have us for the next four years, and then we will find them all out. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Florida's greatest preacher and evangelist, who will close a most successful two weeks' revival meeting at First A. M. E. church, Sunday night, October 31st. These meetings have been drawing wonderful crowds every night. Dr. Dixon seems to grow in power with every sermon. People are coming from way out in the state to hear this great evangelist. Up to and including Wednesday night thirty-one souls were happily started on their way to the Celestial City, and prodigal sons and daughters returned unto ther Father's mansion. ADVOCATE THOS. KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. CONGRESSMAN LITTLE'S REPORT To the Voters: For the third time the Republicans have nominated me for Congress, and now by 13,000 majority. Two years ago after a very bitter fight against me in which my enemies made every possible attack upon me and my record in Congress, and it was all thoroughly discussed, you re-elected me by 9,400 majority, the largest ever given a candidate for Congress in this district. My opponent is issuing some circulars attempting to resume that discussion which was settled by you, and I shall not take part in it. However, herewith I present to you two letters, one from the only Prohibitionist Party man in Congress, and the other from the President of the United States, the Democratic leader, confirming your opinion of my work in the 65th Congress. The White House, Washington, 9 September, 1918. "My Dear Mr. Little: Thank you sincerely for your thoughtful letter of September 7th about the Water Power bill. There is a great deal of force in what you urge, and the points you dwell upon have been giving me a great deal of grave concern. I thank you for assisting me to think out a very perplexing and serious matter. Cordially and sincerely yours. "WOODROW WILSON," Hon. Edward C. Little, House of Representatives House of Representatives. Congressman Randall's letter is as follows: Washington, D. C. July 17, 1918. "My dear Congressman Little: I want to congratulate you upon being the first man in this Congress to start the Prohibition ball rolling, which had no small part in bringing the great successes which have since come to the cause. I refer to your Amendment to the first military bill proposing the creation of dry zones around all military camps and cantonments, and the enactment of that measure everybody now admits was absolutely necessary. And it paved the way and emphasized the need for full war prohibition. At the opening of the 66th Congress in December, 1919, your Representative was made Chairman of the Committee on Revision of the Laws, a Chairmanship once held by William McKinley. The Little Bill to make a Code of the Laws of the United States, now practically completed, has recently been favorably discussed by the New York World and by the New York Post in over a column each and by probably a thousand newspapers in all parts of the United States, and the work thereon presented to the general public also through the moving pictures. In May the House authorized your member to spend $9,000, in completing the bill, which will be the largest ever presented to any Congress or Parliament. An idea of the opinion of the Bar concerning it can be obtained from the following letter to Congressman Little under date of May 21, 1920, from one of the three or four ablest and leading attorneys of Washington, D. C. "My dear Congressman: May I add a word of sligh encouragement and much appreciation of the great work, involving marked ability and almost inconceivable industry, which you have been and are now engaged upon in connection, with the revision of our badly federal laws. ONLY OCCASIONALLY IN CENTURIES ARE THERE FOUND MEMBERS OF LEGISLATIVE BODIES WILLING TO UNDETAKE SO STUPENDUS A TASK, and it does occur to me that you ought to know that the profession is beginning to apprehend how greatly the completion of your labors will aid its members. Your Representative is the ranking member of the Committee on Woman's Suffrage of the House, which Committee met at 10 A.M. the first Monday in December, 1919, the day the 66th Congress first met, at which meeting he made the motion which carried, to report the Woman's Suffrage Amendment to the constitution favorably, without delay, the motion which started that great Amendment through the Congress of the United States and finally made it a part of the Constitution. On the following Wednesday when the Amendment passed the House, your Congressman was designated by Chairman Mann to open that great debate and allowed one-third of the time accorded to the NUMBER 13. C.M.E. CONFERENCE ENDED SUNDAY Goes on Record Against Organic Organic Union—Ten Thousand Dollars Reported. The Thirty-eighth session of the Missouri and Kansas Colored Methodist Episcopal church closed up its work Sunday nightt. Bishop Cleaves preached a powerful sermon at the 11 o'clock service. Bishop Lane delivered a strong message at 3 p. m. to a crowded house. At the last business session Saturday, the conference went on record against organic union of Methodist churches. The financial report showed the educational drive to be in actual cash something over ten thousand dollars. Dr. H. L. Bolden was returned to St. Peter Chagel for another year. When his name was announced, "Back to St. Peter," the vast congregation and friends nearly raised the roof of the building, with joy and happiness. The next annual session will meet at St. Joseph, Mo. Following are the list of assignments: Appointments. Missouri District; R. P. Tyler P. E.—Richmond, N. T. Walker; Kansas City, J. W.-S.

When Venable of Mississippi opened the debate against the constitutionality of the Peace Resolution which Congress passed and the President vetoed, the Hon. Joseph Cannon in charge of the Republican time, gave your member fifteen minutes to reply immediately and open the debate for the Republicans on that subject, a speech which was reprinted in full in the National Republican. As you will see by the Record of April 10, 1920, your Congressman as Chairman of the Revision of Laws Committee, in the course of that work, saved the tax-payers $288,500. On June 26 and June 30, 1919, he started the fight which resulted in cutting $100,000,000, off the Army bill for $896,000,000, in time of peace, and was given credit to Prof. Burdick of Kansas University by the Republican leader, Congressman Mondell, for being the cause of saving that money, which has earned him the continual criticism of the military autocracy which wants to load a soldier on every tax-payer's back. Including the $70,000,000, which he saved January 23rd (or 25th), 1918, as you will see by the Congressional Record, your Representative has saved the tax-payers $170,298,500. Mr. Speaker Gillette said that Little ought to be kept in Congress as long as that $288,500 he saved would pay his salary. But the Democratic nominee, according to a circular he has issued but neglected to sign himself, and who never had a wife and child, thinks he ought to be elected to Congress as a Democrat, because Mrs. Little three years and nine months ago, before Little became a Congressman, had a controversy with some principal over her little boy then 15 years old, in which Little who had for years been a school teacher himself, backed up his wife and boy, as any decent man would. What kind of a Congressman would this make that wants to see the League of Nations adopted and ten billions of dollars squanlered, because of a controversy about a 15 year old boy who is now a Sophomore in full standing in Kansas University, attending to his own business and not running for any office, and who knows enough now to realize that no gentleman would undertake to be elected to the greatest deliberative body in the (Concluded on Page Four) PAGE TWO THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop.

The election of President Wilson to a second consecutive term, an event hitherto unknown to the Democratic party, has greatly encouraged that organization to put up a great fight, in order to place itself in the ascendency. And President Wilson has shown himself to be a politician of no mean powers, in that he has lost neither time nor opportunity in building up his party till now it is so well entrenched that it calls for all of the power that can be mustered by the Republican party to dislodge it. In this contest, months of time has been consumed and millions of dollars will be spent on both sides. Until the election is over in November the industrial, financial and social conditions of the nation will be unsettled and greatly disturbed. All of this would be unnecessary if the constitution of the United States and its amendments were universally observed and enforced. The nation, in politics, is Republican. There are many more Republicans than Democrats and if all were permitted to vote, a nomination by the Republican party would be equivalent to an election. An enforcement of the constitution and its amendments and the "Solid South" is broken up. And to me it is difficult to understand why the Republican party, when in power, would not seek to enforce these laws that every citizen might exercise the free and full enjoyment of the right of suffrage, which right, when so exercised, would destroy the power of the Democratic party, which is lodged in the Solid South. And unless the Republican party, on its return to power next March, as it will, sees to it that the vote of the colored people in the southern states is no longer suppressed, the present struggle for party ascendency will be repeated in four years hence, and BILLY ANNOUNCER RST A.

Colored voters, by reason of disfranchisement more than any other cause, are leaving southern states by thousands. Consequently, the party is being deprived of the vote, with which to break the solid south, and it's left solid. The home of the colored man is in the South, so far as his home in the United States is considered. There the rank and file of the colored people are, and if protected in their civil and political rights, there they would remain and in the main, vote the Republican ticket, making our national elections Republican as a matter of course. For nearly a half century, if not quite, since the administration of President Grant, this government has seen the rights of the colored people in southern states, absolutely ignored, the constitution trampled under foot, without making any substantial objection to either. As to the right of the state to regulate suffrage, the Hon. Charles Sumner said: "I raise no question of the THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Mrs. Pearl Bryant entertained Dr. Dixon, the evangelist and Rev. and Mrs. J. F.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in full accord with the above sentiment as expressed by Mr. Sumner, and is making the fight, that the colored man may be free from social insult, physically free from peonage, mentally free from ignorance politically free from disfranchisement. To all of which the Democratic party, south, is adverse. Every citizen has the right to ask, and demand, that the constitution and its amendments be enforced. The constitution is the bulwark of our civilization. If enforced, the rights of all citizens are secure, and our civilization maintained. The greatest evil with which the nation is confronted today is the tendency to ignore the constitution. And no better slogan can be used in this campaign than, "Back to the Constitution." JAMES H.

It is doubtful if one attorney who has term and without any exageraation, he has proven to the public and patrons of this office to be one of the very few who ever had or made such such a satisfactory record. It is doubtful if one attorney who has come before this court in the term of his office and say they did not get a square deal. Judge Carson has the advantage over many who aspire or have filled this office,—he being among the best read lawyers of the city. As a Republican he is one hundred per centt, and has ever been known to be loyal to his party's principles. The judge is running for only his second term, and with his first term it is not a question of his election, but his majority, as his solid party is with him and scores of good Democrats.

The Kansas Taxpayers' League, made up of citizens in every part of the State, who actually pay taxes, earnestly recommend to their fellow taxpayers that they vote against the three amendments proposed, which, if adopted, would mean the expenditure of millions upon millions of dollars on visionary projects put forth by men who expect to obtain profitable employment on the innumerable boards, or in other offices which would be created.

Pinkert while attending the C. M. E. conference. "Have you heard Rev. Dixon, the evangelist, at First A. M. E. church?" is what is generally heard wherever one goes. The morning sermon was preached by the pastor in charge. He used for his text, St. Luke 18-10. He preached a wonderful sermon. On last Sunday was rally day for the purpose of raising money to buy another lot. The collection for the pastor was good. The Bible Band was called to order at 6 p. m., and a good lesson was recited. The night sermon was preached by the pastor at 8:15 p.m. He used for his text St. John 2-5, "Whosoever he said, you do it," The rally was all day. $46.00 was taken up in the rally. The rally was out and out all seemed to enjoy themselves very nicely. Come to this temple next Sunday; all are welcome. Elder Lee, who has been sick, is up and was out to divine service last Sunday.

VALUABLE MAN TO TAXPAYERS I had four years' experience as deputy, assessing the little homes, little stores, big stores and industries, before elected. As County Assessor, I am merely the director of the deputies and was able to direct them intelligently and courageously by reason of my experience. You could not expect a man to successfully manage a line of businss he knew nothing about. Especially so, when the scope of knowledge required is so broad as to deal fairly and impartially with persons who pay on less than $100 worth of personal property to those who have personal property worth three or four million dollars. My efforts have helped to keep the tax rate down to the present, $2.74 on the $100 valuation. Had I not placed the many million dollars of intangible and unfinished products of the larger industries on the tax rolls, the firemen, policemen, school teachers, clerks and other employees of the city, county and schools would not have received their much deserved and needed raise in salaries unless your tax rate would have been more than $4.00 per each $100 worth of real or personal property. But, by reason of four years' experience as a deputy assessor and with the courage to back up the knowledge, I was able to add $16,221,664 worth of valuation and the tax rate was only slightly increased. Had I not added these millions, I do not believe that any of the city or county executive bodies would have dared to raise the rate sufficiently enough to give the above mentioned their deserved increases in salaries. My motto has been and will be: "All the Taxable Property on the Tax Roll" as the law requires. This kind of an administration will make a better place to live in, work in and do a small or big business in. If re-elected, I promise a continuance of this kind of service—A SQUARE DEAL TO ALL.

W. Washington, D. C., June 9, 1920. Hon. E. C. Little, M. C. My dear Colonel: Now that the session of Congress is closed, I want to express to you the gratitude and appreciation of the Private Soldiers and Sailors Legion for your able and earnest work as a member of this Congress in behalf of the interests of all the Private Soldiers, and especially the many helpful things you have done for the cause of the Private Soldiers and Sailors Legion. We especially appreciate the Joint Resolution, H. J. Res. 315, which you introduced in Congress on March 15th, to instruct the Attorney General to institute proceedings in the Courts of the United States to restrain the Standard Oil Trusts and the United States Steel Trust and their allied corporations from distributing their surplus war profits, either by stock dividends or other devices; and providing that the Ways and Means Committee of the House be instructed to report a bill for taxing into the treasury of the United States, the surplus war profits of the aforesaid trusts and corporations, to be used for paying the soldiers' bonus and other public expense. While we feel grateful, as ex-Service men, for your efforts in our behalf, we know that in all these matters you have acted for the best interests of the people as a whole as well as the interests of the soldiers, and we earnestly hope that the good people of the Second Kansas District will safe-guard their own interests and send a faithful friend of the soldiers to Congress by re-electing Colonel E. C. Little by a bigger majority than ever. With best wishes, I remain, The following letter is commended to the attention of my constituents: "Kansas Department American Legion, Office of Adjutant, Topeka, Kansas, July 6, 1920. Hon. Ed C.

The Kansas Executive Committee speaking for 21,000 ex-service men of the State, banded together in the American Legion for the common good, wishes to thank you most sincerely for the personal interest you have taken in the Four-Fold Optional Bonus Bill and for the efforts you put forth to secure the passage of this measure. We are especially proud of the fact that the entire Kansas delegation in the House of Representatives voted for this legislation. We feel that you believe with us that the ex-service men of the nation should in some measure be compensated for the time they lost and the sacrifices they made in the hour of the great emergency. The ex-service men of Kansas have carefully followed in the newspapers the progress of their legislation, and the action of those entrusted with the power of initiating and passing national measures. From the position you have taken we believe they feel that they can safely trust their interests in your hands at succeeding sessions of Congress. Hoping that in your future course you may be able to give as much consideration to the requests of the American Legion as you have in the past, we remain, Sincerely yours, Charles H. Browne, Frank E. Samuels, Members of Sub-Committee." Having fought for my country in a dozen battles in the Philippines, if reelected I shall continue to serve both my soldier and my civilian constituents as diligently and as faithfully as I have in the past four years aided by the experience I have had in the army and in Congress. EDWARD C. LITTLE. Make your vote count Tuesday. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation attended this church, and the pastor preached an inspiring sermon and at its close sang, "Lead Me On," which caused many to let the Holy Spirit have its "right of way." The beautiful sensible hymns, "Almost Persuaded," and "The Comforter Has Come," led by the choir caused several to unite with the church. Some of the leaders of the church have announced a special song service every Wednesday night to which the whole community is invited. Thursday night's activities are announced for all young people only. It should be for any who wish physical culture, as some older people are more active than some young people. At 8 p. m., a minister from the C. M. E. Conference preached well and aside from the church collection, a collection was taken for him. Next Sunday, October 31st, other fine sermons will be preached to which all are invited. This church has had a 10 days' revival, which broughtt in more souls for the length of time than any church in town. Come to this church, especially those who have no church home.
