Kansas City Advocate

KANSAS KANSAS REPUBLICANS SHOULD SUPPORT AR- THUR CAPPER, SAYS ROLLA CLYMER Senator Arthur Capper has been quick to answer the expressed fear by Sheffield Ingalls of Atchison, one of his opponents in the Kansas senatorial race, that he will support LaFollette for president. "His fear is put out for political effect and is pure bunk and he knows it," says Senator Capper in a letter to the Kansas City Star. "He is simply trying to secure votes by deception and misrepresentation, a method that has gone out of vogue in Kansas." Senator Capper not only is not for LaFollette, but will support President Coolidge to the utmost of his ability and through his powerful string of papers. The senator says that the results of the August primary affecting his nomination will not change his attitude regarding President Coolidge. Senator Capper discusses in his letter this part of the attack on him in the following language: "Unlike Mr. Ingalls, I am glad to know that President Coolidge has no fear as to what my course will be after the primary. In fact, I already have accepted an invitation from the Republican national committee to campaign for Coolidge and Dawes in eight of the Midwest states, west of the Mississippi. "I might say for the information of Mr. Ingalls, although I feel sure that all the rest of the people of Kansas know it already, that in the formative period of the present campaign in December last when Johnson, LaFollette and a half dozen other men were contemplating running for president on the Republican ticket: I lined up for President Coolidge for nomination and election and wrote hundreds of letters to Kansas friends urging them to do the same, and they did. From the very beginning I have done everything I could, personally and through all my papers, in behalf of President Coolidge, and shall continue to do so, regardless of the results of the August primary." This flat-footed assertion of Senator Capper should do much to offset the allegations that have been made regarding his party regularity. Nothing has occurred during the present campaign to indicate that his opponents for the Republican nomination, Mr. Ingalls of Atchison, and Tom Smith of Hiawatha, have the slightest claim on the senatorship. Neither one of them grades up, in our opinion, to the stature of the man who should represent Kansas in the senate. Senator Capper should be re-nominated and re-elected. Some of his supporters and admirers in Kansas were frankly disappointed by his stand on various occasions during the last congress. But Senator Capper, having had the experience of one term, should be infinitely of greater service to his state in the future. He is honest and clean and striving always to do what is right and best for his people. The editor of this paper did not like Senator Capper's activity in behalf of the farm bloc. He believes that legislation can be more effectively wrought through regular party channels than through a bloc system. But the editor has no doubt that Senator Capper is loyal to his party and that his Republicanism is as sound as that of any party adherent. It would be a profound mistake now to nominate some untried man like Ingalls, who never held a responsible office in his A. S. S. - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 HON. JOHN P. EVANS, REPUBLI- CAN FOR LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF KANSAS, THE BIG SEVENTH'S CANDIDATE? He is a Welshman, related to "Fighting Bob" Evans of Spanish-American War fame. John P. Evans as a boy, attended his first National Republican Convention with "Bob" Evans as head of the Iowa delegation on his special train. John P. was born in a coal miner's shack in Iowa some 45 years ago; his father was a coal miner and was suddenly killed in the mines when this son was but 9 years old; at the age of 13, his widowed mother sent him to work in the coal mine in order that the family could live; and then the next year sent her son to Sumner county, Kansas, to her own brother to work on on the farm and go to school in the winter. At the age of 17 he got a certificate and taught a country school; and at the age of 21 was graduated from State Normal, and became city superintendent of schools at Kiowa, Kansas, where he stayed five years; at the age of 30, he was a college professor teaching law. He has lived most of his life in Sumner, Barber and the extreme Western counties of Kansas. He is a graduate of Friends University in Wichita and Detroit Law College. In 1914, he was admitted to the bar at Topeka, and has since been engaged in the practice of the law in Western Kansas, has defended many cases and been very successful. Politically, he has always been a Republican, having been elected twice county superintendent, county attorney and member of the legislature from his counties. He was a delegate to the last Progressive convention that nominated Theodore Roosevelt for president, and was an assistant sergeant-at-arms in the convention that nominated Harding. He is O. K. VOTE FOR TOM KENNEDY—A HOME MAN FOR STATE AUDIOT. CHURCH TO HONOR TWO WOMEN Next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock the C. M. E. church at the corner of Oakland avenue and Eighth street, will honor two of their ex-pastor's wives, who have passed to the beyond, when they will unveil pictures in honor of Mrs. J. W. Jacobs and Mrs. H. L. Bolden. In connection with the unveiling of the pictures a memorial program will be rendered. The public are invited to this service. Rev. Bowers is the present pastor of this church. Mr. Ed Winter of 818 Oakland, has been appointed a letter carrier and will report for duty soon. W. T. Lewis, mail carrier, who has been serving the territory north of Quindaro boulevard, has been transferred to the territory from Virginia avenue to Quindaro boulevard and from Fifth street to Seventh street. life and who has advanced no good reason throughout his campaign as to why he should have the nomination over Senator Capper. It might mean the election of a Democratic senator in November—and the last experience of Kansas with a Democratic senator is sad enough to cause every good citizen to shudder at the thought of a repetition. Senator Capper should be given a big enough plurality within his party at the August primary to insure his re-election in November without doubt. CLOSING DAYS OF CAMPAIGN BRING MANY FINE REPORTS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE, TO THE SUCCESS OF KENNEDY'S ELECTION CLOSING DAYS OF CAMPAIGN BRING MANY FINE REPORTS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE, TO THE SUCCESS OF KENNEDY'S ELECTION At the close of the campaign news is coming in from all parts of the state as to Tom Kennedy's boom for State Auditor. The only thing that can beat him will be that the people don't go to the polls. This week has brought to headquarters many letters from tireless workers, who say Kennedy is growing every day in their county and if other places will do the work on election day they will do, Kennedy's election is assured. Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe, in Grand session last week at Manhattan endorsed Mr. Kennedy with a great ovation. Wyandotte party leaders say Kennedy should at least get 10,000 Republican votes in this county alone, if the people get out and vote August 5. There are four candidates for this office, but you can vote for only one, so find Kennedy's name and place your cross in front of his name, which will be on the STATE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

SCRUGGS Mr. E. A. Scruggs, President of the Welfare Political Club of the Second ward, is one of the city's officials, holding the position of license inspector, which he has held for several years. His activity in politics is always felt in every election and he knows as much about the results of his ward as any man in it. He is true to his friends and as true to his enemies, when it comes to drawing the line between them. His influence This partmec the moe to doin the city big afte the me succession is the rac uplift o circulat ADVOCATE with city officials has given the race many places for their livelihood. This club also has a women's department or auxiliary, which is one of the most active bodies, when it comes to doing things, that is probably in the city. The women pull off some big affairs annually and work with the men in every way for the general success of the club. This organization is in a position to do much for the race either politically or for the uplift of the community in which they circulate. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER RUSSELL DYER Dyer is leading in the congressional fight. Dyer is generally conceded that Russell Dyer, of Kansas City, Kansas, will be nominated by the Republicans next Tuesday. The ex-service men and their wives are doing considerable amount of work for Mr. Dyer as he is the only ex-service man out for Congress on either ticket. It is also reported that the farmers favor Dyer on account that he was born and raised on a farm and is well acquainted with the conditions on the farm. Dyer is a level headed man, a man who thinks twice before he speaks, and thinks four times before he acts. It seems that he is gaining the good-will of the people of the Second Congressional District. Dyer was defeated by E. C. Little in 1922. He proved capable since he accepted the place as official state speaker of the Republican State Committee. He is an excellent speaker and is now classed with some of the best orators of the state. If elected to the Sixty-ninth Congress, he would not only make a record for himself, but would make a record for the Second District and State of Kansas, and the entire West. It is generally known that he is the logical man for the Republicans to nominate this year. VOTE FOR TOM KENNEDY—A HOME MAN FOR STATE AUDIITOR. ENDORSE KENNEDY'S CANDIDACY.

MIDNIGHT VISITS KANSAS CITY COL. MIDNIGHT VISITS KANSAS CITY Pays Tribute to Old Friend Attends K. P. Grand Lodge Kansas City, Missouri, August 1. We do not come into the world to stay, yet when we leave there is always sadness and weeping, and why we should weep when a christian leaves a world of sin and steps into heaven I do not understand, yet such is true, and I am called upon now to pay a tribute to two characters, mother and daughter, who have gone home, Mrs. Lillian Wittenberg and her daughter, Mary Vivian Wittenberg, the wife and daughter of Rev. Edward Wittenberg, pastor of Allen Chapel A. M. E. church, Kansas City, Mo. Mary stepped into the kingdom first, 11:10 Thursday night, July 10 and at 1:20 Friday morning, July 11. Mrs. Wittenberg joined her daughter, and there is sadness in that home, but they must not weep, for God's will has been carried out, and each one must some day join them. Do you know what it is to have your first love, the wife of your youth, to live by your side for twenty-seven years, mother of fourteen of your children, and just at the time you are getting real pleasure out of life, a grown daughter filling a position in life, son ready for college, and then to see the younger children off for school in the morning and returning in the evening full of sunshine and happiness, then death come in and take that companion, leaving six children? If you do then you are in position to say a word to Rev. Wittenberg. Lillian Strode, a native of New Orleans, La., at the age of 17, accepted the hands of Rev. Wittenberg, he then a youth working in the mailing room of the Picayune, a daily paper in New Orleans. He had declared to her that he was going to make it in life, and needed her encouragement, her words of sympathy and love. So she entered into his life, to suffer if he suffered, to weep if he wept, and rejoice if he rejoiced. With this spirit they started out together. Just to think of it, this moneyless youth with (Continued on page 1) FOREST B. ANDERSON. Vote for Forest B.

A new patient from a small town consulted him and the doctor put him through everything, noting incidentally what the man sald about his farm holdings, the bonds and stocks he owned and the several bank accounts he carried, all for consider- able amounts. - The doctor prescribed an extensive course of treatmént, most of It at home, followed by a week or two of treatment in the clty under bis per- sonal observation. In due time the patient received a bill for $3,000. The man's wife protested that the bill was unreasonable, suggesting. $25. The doctor wrote explaining that many poor persons were treated free and to make up what he did for charity his bills were based on the patient's ability to pay. He concluded by recit- Ing the list of the patlent’s resources. ‘The next letter he got from the woman surprised him. “It’s those de- lusions of wealth,” she wrote, “of which we expected you to cure him.” Dad’s Occupation Jessie and Adeline are the five year-old twins of Mr, and Mrs. Ray- mond Stout, of Paoli, Like most girls of that age they are very observing, but unlike many children they sit quietly by while thelr elders are talk: Ing. At a funeral recently where the children were present they Mstened attentively to the discussion of hearses, mourners and pallbearers, missing none of the details, At the close of the talk, however, Jessie, or perhaps It was Adeline (peus look so much allke) sald: “My daddy goes to nearly all the funerals.

PETER H. looking after his children and assisting him. He has pastored in Plaquemine, Patterson, La.; Greenville, Mississippi, Baton Rouge, La.; Vicksburg, Miss., then the church of his youth, St. James, New Orleans, and from there to Allen Chapel, Kansas City. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Now here is a case where a man has lost his companion, for she was right by his side in the church work, and at times she has raised as high as $2,000 for the work, and when her husband was transferred from New Orleans in the middle of the year, and was to entertain the conference, he left her in charge, and believe me she remained there, looked after the church work, entertained the conference and then joined her husband here. She has been with him in the work here not two years, but the time has been well spent. While Rev. Wittenberg was in Louisville, Ky., attending the general conference last May, she took to her bed, but did not inform him, because he was in Louisville on a mission and did not want him to worry. I remember when I passed through early in June, she told me that she as not going to be as successful as I had been in fighting the bugs, but she would go home. I tried to remind her how she got up at night to help me when I was suffering in her home just one year ago. I do not want to drift to talking about myself now. Mary Vivian Wittenberg took sick in June, and her mother realized that her daughter was also going to die, and she only wanted to die first. Both were confined in the same hospital and because of the serious illness of Mrs. Wittenberg an effort was made to keep the condition of her daughter from her, but shortly after the death of Mary, as if she had received a direct message, she said to the nurse "Mary has gone, and I am going also," and attempted to get out of bed, she then said "Lord have mercy upon my husband, he is too good a christian to bear all of this. Lord have mercy on my children," and with the words on her lips she was placed back in bed and soon her soul took its flight to the God who gave it. Those left are husband and six children, William, Flora, Juanita, Edward, Margaret and Bobbie, and other relatives and friends. Thousands of people gathered at Allen chapel Monday, July 14, 1 o'clock to pay tribute to Lillian Wittenberg and her daughter, Mary Vivian. Many were unable to get even as close as the church door. Ministers of all the churches were present, and many of them took part in the funeral. Bishops W. T. Vernon and A. J. Carey delivered eulogies. Rev. and Mrs. Wittenberg were my friends, and their home was always opened to me then as it is now. The children all think much of Col. J. O. Midnight and are ever ready to do something. Margaret always looks after my handkerchiefs when I am at the house. It strikes me that I wrote you that last letter from Statesville, N. C., and if I tell you where I have been since that time you will say I am the most travelest man in the world, and I will not blame you much. For when them Pythians closed out there and some of them shook my lily black hand, and others did not, for they did not see me. The lady came down to the stable to see me enter the iron horse and leave for home. That is, I went to Charlotte, N. C., and spent the night at the home of C. B. Bailey, the real estate man, and when I had gotten through there we left the next morning for Raleigh, N. C. Berry O'Kelly, the postmaster and capitalist, had not been notified by mail that I was on my way, so I just sent him one of them wire things, and honey believe me that he had Mr. White to meet me at the stable and tote me down to Method to his home. I was treated like a brother. I reached town at 2:30 in the afternoon and left at night for Washington, reaching there 7:30, then off for Chicago at 2:30 Friday afternoon and reached Chicago Saturday at 4:50. As usual, Dr. J. S. Trice, a leading young physician was at the stable to meet me and toted me over to the other stable where I was to leave and left the things I was to tote with me the next day. Sunday was spent in town, and Saturday night at the home of Charles Stewart. I saw Charles Stewart, Jr., surprise his father, and I enjoyed seeing the old man just sit and look at his son. He-preached Sunday morning at Olivet Baptist church, and he seemed to be at himself, and when it was over the boy walked up and said "Father I am here to go home with you." The old man started for the street car as usual, but the boy said "Come this way, father." You see that boy had purchased a Ford coupe and his father did not know anything about it. He is a special delivery messenger in the Chicago postoffice and got it so he could do more work and increase his earning capacity. He is a boy who tries to do things like his father—in fact in many ways he is like his father, and says to the world that he is going to be an improvement on his father. This old man has never owned an automobile car carriage, but he owns one now by relation, and he carried his mother and father out for a ride Sunday afternoon. Sunday evening at 8 o'clock I was in a bed car on the C. & A. iron horse wagon, headed for this place, and honey that man did step on the gas or something else, for at 8:15 the next morning and Rev. Wittenberg was down to receive me. Dr. S. W. Bacote came over to call on me, and had a few words to say. He toted me back to the stable in his fine automobile car carriage. Then off for Manhattan, Kansas, where met the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and the Grand Court of Calanthe. Now, honey, put it down that I told you that this was some meeting. It is wonderful about the progress this great body is making, and what it is doing to make sentiment for our people. It seems that the white people just go wild over this organization. They watched their papers, read about their work, got in every public meeting they could, and spoke in terms of praise of the two leaders, Dr. S. H. Thompson and Mrs. Norene Davis, and there was the head of the uniform rank, General Thomas Kennedy, and he made some friends too. Do you know this character? He is editor of the Kansas City Advocate and because of his popularity, his ability and his honesty, the people have his name before the Republicans, and the voters of Kansas for auditor of state. It is hoped that he will be nominated. If he is nominated, he will be elected with the others on the ticket, for this is the year that the Republicans must win. But now coming back to the Grand Lodge, Dr. S. H. Thompson is one of the most remarkable men of this race of course, and his Grand Lodge, like that of Texas and North Carolina, is composed of well trained men and women—men and women who stand for something. But I must talk about the men. There are many doctors, lawyers, professional men of all kinds and there are college professors, principals of schools, editors—in fact the leading editors of the state of Kansas belong to the Grand Lodge, and they are active. They are just doing things. Mrs. Norene Davis, who is at the head of the Calanthe, is a graduate of the Western College, now located in Kansas City, Mo. She is a leader of women, possessing a wonderful personality. She just goes right into the hearts of the people. She is the wife of the poet, Tilford Davis, Jr., and many other things. So impressed were the people that the City Commissioner, the next to the mayor, got his own car, rode in the parade, carrying with him Grand Chancellor S. H. Thompson, Grand Worthy Counselor Mrs. Norene Davis, and Col. J. O. Midnight.
