KANSAS Vol. XI THE WOMEN OF KANSAS PROMISE EFFECTIVE WORK IN REPUBLI-CAN CAMPAIGN Capper and Paulen Speak to Organi-zations. Topeka, Kan., Sept. 25.—Republican women are to have an important part in the campaign in Kansas this year. Mrs. O. M. Babcock of Atchison, and Mrs. James S. Patrick, of Satanta, vice-chairmen, have opened headquarters in the Hotel Kansan, Topeka, and have launched into the work of the campaign with an enthusiasm and vigor that promise effective organization and real results in November. The work has been subdivided for convenience, Mrs. Babcock taking charge of the work in the first, second, fifth and sixth congressional districts, and Mrs. Patrick in the third, fourth, seventh and eighth districts. It is significant that on the very day that these two energetic women took charge of their work, a luncheon of Shawnee county women was held in the Hotel Kansan, attended by some two hundred enthusiastic party workers. The luncheon was complimentary to Mrs. L. H. Grice, the Shawnee county vice-chairman, and was presided over by Mrs. Lilla Day Monroe, the retiring Vice-Chairman. Brief speeches were made by Ben S. Paulen, candidate for Governor, and Senator Arthur Capper, who introduced Mr. Paulen. "There is no reason on earth," said Senator Capper, "why any Republican should not be for Ben Paulen. The Emporian has no reason for the stand he has taken. Governor Paulen is entitled to, and will receive the support of all loyal Republicans." Governor Paulen told the women that so far as he was concerned, the real issues of the campaign were not going to be submerged in any fake issue. "I made my attitude towards the Klan known a few weeks ago before the primary election was held," he said. "I am under no obligations to any organization of any kind and character. "My sole and only aim, if elected, is to be governor of all the people of the state, regardless of color, class or creed. It is true, an effort is being made to disrupt the Republican party and defeat me for Governor. I don't know whether Mr. White's petitions will be filed or not, and I don't believe Mr. White Knows. "But I am asking Republicans to think of this: It doesn't make any difference whether I am elected Governor of the state or not, but it will make a big difference if the Republican party organization is disrupted." Hearty applause greeted this statement. Following the talks by the Senator and Lieut.-Governor, the following women made brief remarks: Mrs. C. I. Martin, of Wichita, Asst. Attorney-General; Mrs. Ben H. Mickel, of Soldier; Mrs. M. E. Walker of Jackson county, Mrs. M. M. Shirley and Mrs. C. H. Smith, both of Grantville, and Mrs. Mamie Hunter of Doniphan county. KANSAS CONFERENCE IN SESSION The Kansas conference of the A. M. E. church opened Wednesday at Coffeyville, with Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago, presiding.

CITY Kansas City, Kansas, September 26, 1924 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN 3RD PARTY GOP DEM PUBLIC REPUBLICAN VICTORY SAYS ONE OF THE OLD SAGES Maj. John R. Lynch, Ex-Congressman Chicago, Ill., September 25.—Maj. John R. Lynch, former member of the Republican National Committee and Temporary Chairman of the 1884 Republican National Convention, spent some time in conference with Roscoe Conkling Simmons at Republican headquarters. Major Lynch's political prognostications are always given wide attention and respect. His bet this year is that Coolidge will win, thus defeating any possibility that the election will be thrown into the House of Representatives. The former Congressman figures that in the election Coolidge will have 274 votes, Davis 213 and LaFollette 42. The size of the Davis vote is explained in the concession of Indiana, Tennessee and Kentucky to the Democrats. Reports to the National Committee are that these states will go Republican. Oklahoma and West Virginia are also in better shape from the Republican point of view than ever before, although Major Lynch gives the benefit of the doubt to the Democrats. "The character of Coolidge," said Major Lynch, "is the main hold of the Republican Party and his manager, William M. Butler, belongs in the class of our great Chairmen." Both Coolidge and Butler are determined to put the spirit of New England behind the efforts of the Negro to win his fight against political slavery.

Was that of the Emancipation Celebration on Monday the 22nd. There was an unusual large out-pouring of the people, and an excellent program was carried out. Which consisted of remarks by I. F. Bradley, as president of The Civic League, under the auspices of which the proceedings were had. This was followed by the reading of the Proclamation by Miss Whitfield, a teacher, in the public schools. After which a most excellent address was given by Mr. Paul Jones, the editor of The Paul Jones Magazine, in which much wholesome advice was given, which was followed by excellent remarks by Dr. A. K. Love. The day was superfine and the-games and field sports were interesting and entertaining. While there was no parade of the progress, or standing of our group on this occasion, as has been the custom in years passed, yet the interest and feeling manifested was equal to that of any former year. The League was profuse in its thanks, as expressed by the president, to all who helped to make the day a success, and especially thankful to the teachers of the city—who are always ready to do their whole duty to make matters and things appear at their best. The president of the League laid stress on the fact that it is high time that we take a decided and strong action to do something for OUR boys—to let them know that they are—OUR boys—out of which—and in which—is our only hope for MEN. He suggested that we set as a goal—Business Week—and Boys' Day, and work assiduously and diligently to them. FORUM. The Citizens' Forum had a large crowd present at its opening meeting and next Sunday, September 28th, they expect Mayor Gordon, Professor Lewis and other good speakers; also good music, under Professor Brown's direction.

Kansas City is Mrs. Adam's home, her husband being sent east to one of the big churches last year. They have one daughter the youngest in Wilberforce University, in Ohio. Mrs. Adams will remain here for some time of which her many friends here will be delighted. Beginning to Ferment THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Then into the quarters of Miss Hallie Quinn Brown, that wonderful character of the race, and right by her side is to be found Mrs. Myrtle Foster Cook, of Kansas City, who is the executive secretary and a well trained woman. Miss Brown is directing the women; and she is a wonderful character. While in there I met Mrs. Dollie Brown, the widow of the late Phil Brown, and she was directly connected with one of America's greatest women, Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, of Kentucky, Vice-Chairman Republican National Committee, who is at the head of all the women of America, and who would if she could have every woman in the Republican ranks. While Mrs. Hert is a Kentuckian, like her husband who left us several years ago, she recognizes humanity, and is willing to give every man, woman and child in America equal justice, and a fair chance in the fight of life. She is deeply interested, and she has a message for our men and women. She would not like for us to (Continued on page 4.) K. P. UNIFORM RANKS TURN OUT TO ANNUAL SERMON.

Number 6 J.O.CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOME OF HIS RACE CAN SUPPORT A PARTY OF DISFRANCHISERS Remember Your Sister and Brother in the South Who Are Deprived of Their Vote, Says J. O. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 25.—If the Democrats of this country get in power this time hash-e-square-lull will be to play for my people, although there are many promises made now, and some of them look inviting, but I think I shall go to the spiritualist and have the dead called up. I would like to have a conference with Bishop Alexander Walters, who told us such good things about President Woodrow Wilson. So many of my people flopped over to him, and "Now dear spirit, tell us about it." I have no unkind words to say about President would-be Davis, but I am thinking about the party behind him, the party which says to me down home "ballots are for white men, and you and yours should not use it." Look down in Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and I could name some more of them, where we are in large numbers, and see how many of us are allowed to vote. Shall we vote for the party who would deprive me of the only weapon I have to protect my wife and children. God forbid. It is out of the question for me to think of using a caral weapon, for I would soon be wiped off of the earth. My arms are too short and I am too weak, hence with the ballot and the sword of the spirit I must fight my way to the goal. We never heard of segregation until President Wilson got in, and that doctrine has been spread ever since. Speak dear Spirit and tell us, whither are we drifting. I find that we have some few strong men who have flopped over to the Democrat side, and some have gone after the one-man party, but the bulk of us are going to remain in the party and fight for our rights and recognition, for there is where we can fight. Get out and then we are fightless. Let us march up to the ballot box in November and put in one good and strong for Calvin Coolidge, and Charles Dawes, and you will have two strong men. I was down to headquarters of the National Republican Committee and I find everything in applie pie order, and men are being directed for work. Roscoe Conklin Simmons, who is at the head of speakers and press bureau, is a busy man. He has about appointed all of his speakers and they are scattered out here and there and everywhere. I had the pleasure of going into the office of Mr. Matthews, and he is one more busy man. He is directing the campaign activities in all parts of the country. He has a wonderful executive ability. But I must not exalt any of the heads now but hold before you our next president, Calvin Coolidge and I am sure that this is sweet music to your ears. --- PAGE TWO THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor.

"An Act relating to compensation for veterans of the war with spain, the Philippine insurrection and the China relief expedition. "Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas: "Section 1. The state of Kansas acknowledges its indebtedness to and promises to pay to each person, who was a resident of the state of Kansas at the time of entering the service, who served during the war with Spain or the Philippine insurrection, or the China relief expedition in any branch of the army, navy or marine corps of the United States prior to July 4, 1902, and who was honorably discharged therefrom, the sum of one dollar ($1) per day of his or her service during such period, which compensation shall be in addition to all pay and allowances made by the United States government; Provided, however, That no person shall receive more than six hundred dollars ($600) as his entire compensation under this act. "Sec. 2. No person shall receive any pay under this act for any service performed prior to the declaration of war with Spain by the United States government, or subsequent to July 4, 1902; and no person shall be entitled to receive compensation under the provisions of this act who did not declare the state of Kansas to be his or her place of residence at the time of his or her entering the service. "Sec. 3.

Such bonds shall bear interest not to exceed five per cent (5%), and such bonds or the portion thereof at any time issued shall be made payable at the treasury of the state of Kansas, or in the city of New York, such bonds shall be made payable in twenty-five (25) --- equal installments, the first of which shall be payable one (1) year after date of issue and the last of which shall be payable twenty-six (26) years after the date of issue, and they shall be sold to the highest bidder for not less than par; Provided, however, That the governor, secretary of state and state auditor are hereby authorized for the purpose of this act only, to designate a sub-fiscal agency in the city of New York, to the extent that same may be necessary to provide for the prompt payment of all bonds and coupons issued under this act, payable by their terms at a sub-fiscal agency in the city of New York. "Sec. 4. There is hereby levied upon all the taxable property of the state of Kansas an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on such bonds and the principal thereof, as they may become due; and the proceeds of such taxes are hereby appropriated to the payment of such principal and interest.

Call Fair- fax 0380 Or 4422 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE HEARD IN PASSING To be beloved is above all bargains. Lies may be acted as well as spoken. Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race. Peace rules the day where reason rules the mind. Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle. To see what is right, and not do it, is want of courage. Fortune's cuffs may be reversible, but the kicks are not. Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great. The less some people have to say the more difficult it is for them to say it. He who says that he never made a mistake in his life is probably mistaken. A congressman says that a constituent is a man who expects you to get him a job. No, the heavenly host has nothing in common with the landlord of a summer hotel. Dispatch is the soul of business, and nothing contributes more to dispatch than method. Commonplace as the best scenery may become, a man never grows tired of seeing rainbows. There is only one land in which all men and women enjoy equal rights, and that is dreamland. Those who apply themselves too much to little things usually become incapable of great things.

McKinzy, Greeting: You are hereby notified that you have been sued by your wife, Mildred McKinzy, for a decree of divorce in the District Court of Wyandotte county, Kansas, on the grounds of Gross Neglect of duty, Extreme Cruelty and abandonment; and that unless you answer the petition of said plaintiff filed herein, on or before the 17th day of October, 1924, said petition will be taken as true and judgment will be rendered against you granting said plaintiff an absolute divorce of and from you and such other and further relief as she may be entitled to in equity: WM. H. TOWERS, Attorney for Plaintiff. (First published Sept. 5, 1924.) J. O. MIDNIGHT make a mistake now. I shall tell you from time to time what she has to say. With but few exceptions my people are going to stand by the G. O. P. and in return we want the G. O. P. to stand by us. We are now establishing a new Trust Company—we are going to trust each other, and let us both be true to our trust. When I wrote the other letter I was attending the National Baptist convention in Nashville, Tenn., presided over by our leader of men, Dr. L. K. Williams, who is pastor of the Olivet Baptist church, right here in this Chicago city, and the largest church, with the largest membership in America, and that is over 10,000. We are going after Tennessee in earnest this time and we hope to put it in the Coolidge column, and to redeem Old Kentucky. It would be just fine if we can do these things, and we will continue to trust God and look to Him for the rest. When He comes to claim His own, I want to be in that number. The people got out of Nashville as fast as they got in. It was a busy and a business session of the National Baptist convention. Peace and harmony worked together going hand in hand, and you may know the rest. "Finish the new building" was easily the slogan and all seemed to be working to that end. I don't know as I have ever seen men work together as they did in this city and in this case. All revolved around Dr. L. K. Williams, who was in the center directing all the wheels and spokes of the convention. Dr. A. M. Townsend, at the publishing interest. He is the secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board. He is as I have told you be- fore, a business genius of this race of ours. I was speaking about the closing. Well they closed, and that Monday night we were all there at the big stable to leave. Special trains, special cars, bed cars, eating cars, sit up and sleep cars were all there, and that old iron horse, or it was horses in this case were there to do their puffing, snorting and groaning in order to get us over the country. I left with the Eastern crowd, for I wanted to be inspired to leave the West and go to the East in search of light and anything else I could find. I had one of the bed cars myself, and believe me I slept in it, until I got to Louisville. We then were transferred over to the C. & O., and I went as far as Frankfort, Ky., with the crowd and returned to Louisville that same night, spending it at the home of William H. Steward, A. M., and they were glad to see me. I enjoyed being in the city, and to come in touch with the family. Mrs. Steward is right by the side of her husband and they are working together. Bright and early I was up and headed for Chicago. I do not know much between here and there, for I slept all the way. But I was ready for things in general. I found the people getting ready for election. They had an election in Nashville, and that time Dr. L. K: Williams was elected president of the National Baptist convention; Revs. W. M. Taylor, of Baton Rouge, La., R. M. Caver, Little Rock, Arkansas, and J. C. Jackson, Hartford, Conn., vice-presidents; R. B. Hudson, Selma, Alabama, secretary; T. O. Muller, E. Arlington, Wilson, J. N. Nabrit, and E. H. McDonald, assistant secretaries; A. D. Williams, Atlanta, Ga., treasurer; E. D. Pierson, Houston, Texas, auditor; Charles Stewart, Chicago, general missionary; J. $ .$ Austin, chorister. Just to think of it, they selected Baltimore, Maryland, for the next annual meeting, and the people are going to be there. I wish you will get ready to be there. I would like for you to get in shape for the National Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. convention. It will convene next in Wichita, Kansas, June, 1925. I want to be there. Get ready for the future. Some people are passing out. I note that people have died this year who never died before. But we who are living are getting ready for better living. We are getting ready to help to uphold our federal constitution. We are going to remain good citizens, and will not be lead off just now. Look out for what is going to happen. Have you heard that we are getting ready to go back to Congress? When we go there the next time we are going there to remain. Let us trust God and look to the future. What have you to say or do? I have had the pleasure of seeing Hon. Aaron E. Malone, of St. Louis, president of Pore college, who was visiting the Chicago conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, presided over by Bishop A. L. Gaines, of Baltimore. This conference put on the table over $11,000 dollar money, saying nothing about the other big money raised. Editor R. R. Wright of the Christian Recorder; Secretary J. E. Coit of the Foreign Missionary Department and Home Missions, too; Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, Bishop W. T. Vernon, Bishop A. J. Carey and other notables were here. You may expect to hear from me again soon. I will have to bring this letter to a standstill for this time. Sunday will find me in Cleveland. The Religious Week Day Schools will open October 4th. Send your children. Rev. A. W. Davis was in Memphis last week. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT State of Kansas, County of Wyandotte, ss. In the Probate Court in and for said County and State.
