KANSAS Vol. XI DEMOCRATS TRY TO DISFRANCHISE 800 COLORED VOTERS One of the most daring and atrocious attempts to disfranchise colored voters of Wyandotte county, was brought to light Tuesday when it was announced by Grant W. Harrington, election commissioner, that he had challenged 800 registrant voters, their names had been cancelled from the books and they would have to report at his office for cause. The notices sent out to the 800 electors were practically all in the Second and Third wards where the strong colored vote is to be found. These notices were delivered by individuals on mere slips of paper and if no one was found at home, although if they happened to be away at work or shopping, they were reported as gone. "It's nothing but dirty politics," declared Ira T. Collar, chairman of the Wyandotte county Republican central committee, when Harrington produced a list of persons to whom notices had been sent that their eligibility to vote had been questioned. "To challenge the eligibility of registrants without first submitting evidence is unjust and unfair," continued Collar. Houses that has been visited by a committee, made up by both parties, were found to be occupied, whose names were cancelled from the registration books. Others were found to just be outside of the city for a visit or working. If these persons whose names have been challenged and removed from the registration books get back on they will have to do it by this Friday night. The two checkers appointed by the board are W. R. Honnell, member of the Board of Education, Republican, and W. T. Hopkins, master of the city market, Democrat. The checkers duty is to investigate appeals. PULLEN FOR PAULEN FOR GOVERNOR. MRS. CHILDS, STATE CHAIRMAN OF WOMEN'S REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE REPORTS STATE IN FINE SHAPE FOR WHOLE TICKET. Mrs. Beatrice Childs, chairman of Kansas Colored Women's Republican Committee, with headquarters in this city, returned to headquarters Saturday evening and reports in her travel over the state for the second time, she found wonderful enthusiasm among the colored women for the entire Republican ticket. Mrs. Childs made from three to five speeches every day and says she found many who on her first trip through the state, who were a little shy on some of the state Republican candidates by being misled and misrepresented had become wise to those false prophets and false acquisitions and were in line for the whole Republican ticket. The headquarters in this city has been one of the busiest offices in the mailing out of literature and writing personal letters to the many club captains and other information to the vast multitude of those seeking advice, probably that has been done in any other state. The headquarters at 516 Minnesota avenue will be open right up to election next Tuesday and the office force will be out all day helping to get the vote out. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our dear mother, Mrs. Bertha E. Carroll, who passed away three years ago October 26, 1921; We have not forgotten you dear mother, Your sweet presence hovers so near; Each morning at the rise of sun, On and on 'till the day is done My lips keep calling, wishing you were here; And at eve, when the shadows are falling, Sweet memories sadder with pain Steal into our hearts with a longi- If we could only see you again! -Sadly missed by family.

Senator Capper is a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and has stood by everything for its good. OUR CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS On next Tuesday the voters will have two Republican candidates to vote for, for Congress, Russel Dyer and Judge U. S. Guyer, both living in this city. Mr. Dyer was nominated at the regular primary election in August for the long term and Judge Guyer was selected by convention for the short term to fill out Col. E. C. Little's unexpired term, who died prior to the primary. It is very essential that both of these congressmen be elected. They are Republicans and stand for Republican principles and Republican principles stand for the constitution and the constitution stands for Americanism, regardless of color or creed. These two splendid men, if elected, can be relied upon as to their loyalty to our constitution and what it stands for. They will represent the Second Congressional district, which is strongly Republican, but here is two men Mr. Coolidge may need badly, so feel sure of their election by carefully making your cross in front of their names. CHAS. F. LANGFORD FOR MARSHAL CITY COURT. Mr. Chas. F. Langford, the present incumbent of the City Court, First District, has served one term as its marshall and has made one of its most efficient officers. Mr. Langford is a Republican and believes in his party principles. Mr. Langford, when elected two years ago, appointed as his deputy Mr. J. H. Brown, one of the city's highest type colored citizens. Mr. Brown has made good in every way, as to service and credit to his race. Mr. Langford is the first marshal to appoint as his deputy a colored man for the past 15 years. He should have on next Tuesday every colored vote cast. He is known as plain Charley Langford. MISREPRESENTED In some unforetold way it was said on Governor's Day at the Citizens Forum, at Metropolitan Baptist church, that Mrs. Dwilla Dwiggins asked or took upon herself to present a bouquet to the governor, which was untrue. The lady was asked by a committee of women to present them and had to be urged upon before accepting. Committee on Arrangements. Col. Wm. Hurd and a comrade from Fort Riley, were in the city Sunday and made a brief call on General Kennedy at 834 Nebraska avenue. Col. Hurd is a sergeant at the post and has charge of the book department. He is on General Kennedy's staff of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias of Kansas, Asst. Advocate General. 3 Kitchenette Apartments for Rent Three kitchenette apartments for rent. Rooms furnished.

Topeka, Kans., Oct. 30.—"White is right," shouted the bolshevik candidate, and forthwith this became his campaign slogan. It caused me to wonder when White is right and what he is right about. Was he right when he called the lamented Harding crooked or stupid or perhaps both? Was he right when he repudiated a sacred instruction in the National Convention of 1920 and voted contrary to such instructions? Was he right when he found fault with Socialists for being too conservative? Was he right when saying that the tendency of the times is toward the "Left Wing"? That the only way to beat your opponent with the people is to be twice as radical as he? Was he right when he supported Arthur Capper or when he opposed him? Was he right when he left the party, slamming the door angrily because he could not have his own way, or was he right when he sneaked back to continue his program of parlor Bolshevism from within? Was he right when he said he was unfit to be governor, or now when he is asking Kansas to thus honor him? Was he right when he slandered the mothers and wives of this state by saying that their proper place was within four feet of the kitchen sink? Was he right, September 12, when he wrote a fine eulogy of Ben S. Paulen, or now in his campaign of character assassination? Was he right in 1911 when he wrote a slander on the Senate, or a few days later, when, when the witness stand he admitted that he had lied repeatedly about the Senate? Was he right when he admitted that he didn't care anything for the Klan ADVOCATE VOTE EARLY—VOTE FOR A PRINCIPLE In defense of Republican principles that means freedom and prosperity to fifteen million of our racial group of this country. What is staring us in the face at this moment, is the effort being made to annul the Fourteenth Amendment, by a Southern Democrat, in which every Negro in America would be disfranchised. The appeal goes out at this critical crisis, from the race's greatest and farseeing men and women to get on the firing line next Tuesday from early morning until the polls close and urge upon our men and women voters to go to the polls early and help save our Constitution and the race. Vote for every Republican candidate on the ballot. Take your time and be sure you have placed a cross in the square opposite every Republican candidate. THE BALLOT IS YOUR WEAPON OF DEFENSE. USE IT WISELY. Don't take any chances on any other party or party candidates Tuesday. This is a serious time and if we, as a race don't get serious on November 4th there is no telling what the outcome will be. DON'T LET ANY ONE FOOL YOU WITH MARKED BALLOTS, BUT GO IN THE ELECTION BOOTH AND MARK EVERY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE ON EVERY TICKET HANDED YOU BY THE JUDGES. While I am for the Republican nominees from top to bottom on the ticket, National, State and County, I would greatly appreciate one special favor of those who gave me such loyal support, in my candidacy for State Auditor in the August primary, with their 36,000 votes—to give on November 4th that same support to the nominee, N. A. Turner, who is a good Republican and can vouch for him, as a fair, unbiased, capable man for the office. I can say further Mr. Turner treated my candidacy with the highest respect and was the only candidate of which there were two others to enter my county to solicit votes. I, for this reason feel that it's my duty, as well as a privilege to kindly ask my friends at this time to not overlook the name of N. A. Turner, Republican for State Audi- as an issue, and that his real grievance was Paulen's refusal to be dictated to by White and his Millionaire Newspaper Cabal, or is he right now in trying to wreck his party in the interest of this select bunch of arrogant newspaper bosses? Was he right or even respectful in calling the governor of the great state of Kansas "a Berkshire hog"? Was he right in further dubbing him "an old sheep killing dog"? Was he right in saying the only remedy he had for the farmer is to clean out his cow pastures? Was he right in voting to unseat all Negro delegates in the national convention of 1912, and seating all the illy whites, and if so, is he now right in appealing to Kansas Negroes to come to his rescue? In view of all of Bill White's inconsistencies, all his kaliedoscopic changes he isn't even right serious. His grotesque motto "White is Right," should be amended. It would be better to have it read "White is Right—funny." Or still better "White is the Andy Gump of Kansas. PULLEN FOR PAULEN FOR GOVERNOR. Mrs. Wilson, the widow of Rev. James Wilson, has returned from a visit to California and is now making her home at Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay Taylor, 1143 Grandview Boulevard. Mrs. Wilson reports a delightful trip. PAULEN THE MAN. Ben S. Peulen is the man Every one should help who can No other candidate fills the bill So well as Ben S. Paulen will. Prepare to cast your vote for Ben And you will be among good men. Under the flag of this great land Lives this man whom we call grand. Every Republican please remember Not to forget him next November. TO MY REPUBLICAN FRIENDS Next Tuesday we will be called upon to do the act that must have much to do with the future of my people in America. I hope that we are all going to use common sense and not dollar sense. I know we have listened to the spellbinders from time to time, and have heard what they had to say about Coolidge, Davis and LaFollette, and now you are called upon to vote your sentiment. Of course we cannot for one vote for a party that stands for wholesale disfranchisement of my people, a party that would have me to be everything else but a man, that would rob me of my franchise and has been doing so all through some parts of the country, a party that would ask the Supreme Court to set aside the act which made them a citizen of the United States, the 14th Amendment to the Federal Constitution should not receive the vote of any man or woman belonging to my race, and I do not hesitate to tell them so. Then comes the one man party, who makes an open attack on the Supreme Court, who would do away with it and make it much easier to get rid of me as a voter and a full fledged citizen. I think such an attack is not worthy of a place in hades and the people of America and I mean by that the true Americans will let him know his place. They will tell him to go way back and sit down. The people from the old country who do not like this wonderful system of ours who introduce anarchy and some kind of boll she something, who would destroy our government, will vote for the one man party. Now comes the true Americans, and we form a part of this group—the people who have defended old glory, and my people were the first to spill blood for it, and the red flag today represents the Blood of Crispus Attuck, and we are going to stand by it. We are going to put our vote in for Calvin W. Coolidge, and you will join in this. Get ready to vote. Got to go to the polls early and put it in, so it can be counted. I have been made to think cussing while in Oklahoma, for a thousand or more of my people will not be allowed to vote. I have been down there, and I know whereof I speak. They were not allowed to register. I would ask that the electors of—well I will tell you in my next. It strikes me that I was in Beaumont, Texas, when I wrote you that other letter, and I was just having an Old Aunt Dolly time, the guest of Dr. and Mrs. C. B. Charlton, the tooth dentist doctor. I had the pleasure of meeting the people there, for Sunday morning I spoke at the A. M. E. church, Rev. A. W. Williams, pastor, and in the afternoon I was at the same church. When I preached in the morning it must have been a mighty poor preach, for I did not get one cent, except Dr. Williams toted me around in his automobile car carriage, and that was worth something. But my honey, in the afternoon I had the thinkers of the city of Beaumont, and I did talk to them. I told them all I have told you and then some more. Sunday night found me headed for Texarkana, and I got to that town Monday morning at 7 o'clock and remained there until 9:25, going from ther to Texarkana. I did not get to go to the home of Mrs. Cora-B. Allen for I did not care to embarass her by looking in her guest roam, but I did go over to the home-of-Attorney C. M. Robinson, who received me just like I was his earthly brother, instead of his heavenly brother. I had some eats with him, and off to Texarkana where I found things moving along, and the people of Arkansas getting ready to vote for Coolidge and Dawes. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR-AND PUBLISHER Number 12 IT IS HOPED ALL NE GROES WILL USE GOOD SENSE NEXT TUESDAY, SAYS J. O.

Ben Paulen, the man, is personally clean, honest, upright and patriotic. He has the highest sense of integrity, and no friend of the Gazette or its editor could intimate at any stage of the campaign that Ben Paulen is anything else than a high grade, first class, common sense, intelligent, patriotic American citizen. His friends have a right to be proud of him, and his enemies have nothing to question in his personal character and his private career.—Emporia Gazette, Sept. 12, 1924. ENDORSEMENT. Whereas, we the undersigned, colored citizens of Wilson County, Kansas, have known Ben S. Paulen in the past and many of us for years and knowing him to be fair, honest, upright and law abiding citizen possessing the good will and friendship of all the people of Wilson county, regardless of race, color or creed and believing that he is the most able of any candidate in the field for office of governor of this state, and that if elected governor, all citizens of this state would be treated fairly. Now as an expression of our good will and appreciation we hereby heartily and unqualifiedly endorse Ben S. Paulen, our neighbor, for governor for the state of Kansas, and urge all of our people to vote for him in the coming election on November 4th. O. S.

Bad customs are better broken than kept. The hare may be timid, but she dies game. There's never a good word or a bad peace. There is a rank of mind as well as of birth. A tug is the only thing that has its tows behind. Meddle with dirt and some of it will stick to you. He who flees from judgment confesses his crime. Even the dreamer attracts attention —when he snores. He who will not stoop for a pin shall never be worth a pint. A political plum seldom drops into the lap of a man who isn't expecting it. A man doesn't always do his duty when he does something he wants to do. The only noticeable thing about some men is that they are unworthy of notice. A business man's idea of tough luck is to be compelled to attend a social function. People like to be asked what they are crying about. They'll tell, if you tease 'em. A horse a man once owned and the wife he is going to get are always the most perfect of their kind. Language was given us to conceal our thoughts; also the faculty of closing the mouth at intervals. Better Than Lawyers "Where's your lawyer?" demanded Judge Collins recently of a colored man who was up before him for trial. When the colored man replied that he did not have a lawyer the judge assigned one of the assistant prosecutors to defend him. The man looked at the judge for a moment and leaned over the bar and "whispered" in a voice that could be heard throughout the courtroom. "Judge, if you would give me a couple of good witnesses, I think they would do me more good than the lawyer."—Indianapolis News. Prehistoric Dentistry Doctor Sabertooth—Sure! One wallop on the jaw with this stone mallet and you'll sleep till I get this tooth dug out. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. The religious services of Mt. Olive Baptist church opened early Sunday morning. After prayer services the pastor took a text, Ps. 104, subject "The Power of God." He preached a good sermon. All enjoyed his remarks and the spirit of the Lord was in the meeting. The evening services were mostly given to "Christian Speaking Meeting." This was a good spiritual meeting. The night services were spiritual. The subject of the text, "A friend in need, is a friend indeed." He preached a great sermon. The B. Y. P. U. and S. S. and Choir and Mission Circle are all progressing nicely with church work. Brother Truly at 732 Cornell, is sick. Pray for his recovery. The church is getting on nicely. Come to church. Read The Advocate. WESTON, MO. Service was good and well attended at the Second Baptist church, and a glorious service as Sunday was covenant and communion. The pastor, Rev. J. S. Bowles made a short talk on the subject of doing right. Evening services at 7:30 were well attended. The pastor preached a splendid sermon. Subject, "What Shall We Do?" Sunday school at 3 o'clock. Prayer meeting Wednesday evening. Mission Circle meets every Friday afternoon. Pastor Bowles was dinner guest of Mrs. Sarah Dydell and her son. Mr. D. Dydell and wife prepared a delightful dinner. The pastor says he cannot begin to mention the many good things that wee served, which he enjoyed so much and also the box of lunch that Sister Dydell prepared for him to take home. Pastor Bowles and wife wish to thank the Dydell family for the splendid donation. We know the Lord will bless you all. We regret so much that Sister Cox is sick. Visit and pray for her recovery. The pastor and wife again wish to thank Sister Georgia Fields for her donation. Weston don't want her pastor to go hungry from the spirit that exists among members and friends. Read the Advocate. SOME PEOPLE'S VIEWS Grasp no more than your hand can hold. Flattery is monstrous in a true friend. One today is better than ten to-morrows. He who sings frightens away his lils. —Cervantes. Be sure no lie can ever reach old age.—Sophocles. It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr. Love understands love; it needs no talk.—F. R. Havergal. Honesty in little things is very far from being a little thing. Youth is the seed time of life. An unseeded youth, a needy age. Women should be convinced that men can't be convinced by scolding. A knowledge of birthstones never helps a girl to acquire a solitaire. One brand of seasickness is the result of a trip on the sea of matrimony. The trustful telephone takes anybody's word after the coin has dropped. Gifts and alms are the expression, not the essence, of this virtue.—Addison. It's a wonder the kangaroo isn't extinct, since he's nearly always on his last legs. A man may be honest because there is money in it, or he may be otherwise for the same reason. "Woman has no sense of humor," of course; except that every man knows several who have. Any summer girl is willing to compromise by returning the young man's heart and keeping the ring. Laconicism has always been admired in military men. Statesmen, too, need not be afraid of it. "My son, put money in thy purse," People won't listen to you when you are old—unless you've got money.

SAYS HE LAID DOWN LAW TO HIS BRIDE Floyd Dell, popular novelist, discussing marital problems in Hearst's International, claims he had the temerity to address the following remarks to his bride the day after the wedding: "If you think this is one of those modern, advanced, civilized, artistic, sociological experiments, you are mistaken. young woman! This is a regular old-fashioned honest-to-God marriage. And if one of us finds the other falling in love with someone else, she had better not pretend to be refined and unselfish and polite about it—she had better trust to her instincts and raise h—1. Some things are worth quarrelling over and happiness is one of them. And because we want to be very, very happy, we shall probably have many, many quarrels." Forests Prevent Floods More than 2,122,970 acres of forest lands have been acquired by the federal government on the watersheds of navigable streams as a safeguard against floods and to promote the regularity of stream flow, it is disclosed in a circular issued recently by the forest service. The purchase of the land was provided for 13 years ago by the passage of the Weeks' law. The federal government already controlled large national forests in the West which to a large extent were located on the watersheds of navigable streams there, so most of the land acquired under the Weeks law is in the East and South. Time's Changes A small American automobile recently in four hours did what it required the Israelites 40 years to accomplish in their exodus from Egypt to Palestine. This was crossing the Sinai desert, the wild and barren region between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Akabah, a distance of about 130 miles. Record Electric Sign The world's largest electric advertising sign now flashes out the merits of a brand of ginger ale from a building in Times square, New York city. The sign extends for an entire city block and is 58 feet tall, almost equal to the height of a six-story building, says Popular Science Monthly. No "Filthy Lucre" Here The term "filthy lucre" has been banned from the English language as far as a certain Los Angeles hotel is concerned by the installation of a coinwashing machine, says Popular Science Monthly. All money received by the hostelry is cleansed before being returned to the guests in the form of change. Rather "Here's a woman shoots a man for spurring her love." "Taking her near too seriously." "Taking leap year too seriously." But Few Are He—"Would you scream if I kissed you, little girl?" She—"Little girl should be seen and not heard!"—Tilt-Bits. Lake Replaces Camp Butte Valley, Cal., once a well-known mining camp, is now at the bottom of a 1,500-acre lake. A dam constructed by an electric service company at the outlet of the valley has been completed after eight months' work and the water impounded by this dam has submerged what is left of the old mining camp site.

Call Fair- fax 0380 Or 4422 --- THE KANSAS CITY-ADVOCATE COLORED VOTER DON'T STUMBLE NOVEMBER 4TH. There are some of our group, who are not taking this election serious, although it is one of the most important elections since the civil war. Just a few days ago a Southern Democrat has put up to the Supreme court, the highest court of our land, to annul the Fourteenth Amendment and if this man or beast can conclusively and to the satisfaction of this court, that the 14th Amendment is not constitutional, every Negro in the United States would be immediately disfranchised. We would not be more than mere chattles, so to speak. Your vote with any other party, than the party who wrote this 14th Amendment—Republican party—is nothing more than a vote endorsing the action and intent of this demagogue. DON'T STUMBLE—election day. The Republican party is nationwide and stands for all humanity and for the welfare of all of its people, regardless of color or creed. It is our duty as real American citizens to support those principles, that from their infancy stood for justice, right, fair play and the freedom of a people. There may be some things you don't like, but this is one of the times we cannot afford to side step to any other party, even not individuals if they are so unfortunate to be on some other ticket. Remember you are voting for a party—not men. And there is only one party for the Negro—The Republican party. Watch your step and vot'er straight and you will NOT STUMBLE—Editor. The "early to bed" rule receives little favor among a group of septuagenarians and octogenarians who have replied to a questionnaire of a New York paper on the secret of a hale longevity. Mr. Edison says bluntly that the observance of this rule "produces stupidity." Luther Burbank replies that going to bed early is not a bad idea if a man will stay awake and think. He has written all his books in bed at intervals when he has happened to wake up in the night or early in the morning. The notes made then are typewritten later and put into shape for publication. Most of these veterans agree, too, that a man's work, if he takes it seriously enough, provides him with sufficient exercise. If a man doesn't overeat, Mr. Edison contends, he will not find it necessary to resort to assorted callisthenics to work off the burden upon his digestive system. Moderation in eating seems, indeed, to be the one help towards good health and long life that commends itself to all who have taken part in this symposium.

WILLIAM TILFORD DAVIS, By I. F. BRADLEY, his attorney Attest: Carl W. Fincke, Clerk District Court. (First published October 24, 1924.) THE USE OH HE'S YOUNG ENOUGH TO RIDE FREE THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE They have good sense down there. I was delighted to have Mrs. S. A. Mathes tell me about the wonderful success her daughter is having in Texas, as a state nurse. She is a wonderful young woman, and the son is now in Fisk getting his head fixed up with knowledge and information. He is going to be a doctor he says, and yet the Lord may lay hands on him, but the Lord may yet lay hands on him. We will simply wait and watch development. He is now in the college department, and making good. He is an interesting young fellow, about 19 years in the world. I called on Mrs. Duckie Kennedy, and her friend Miss Virginia Adams, and found they were getting ready to see the Ten Commandments, and I congratulated them. Mrs. Kennedy, is a busy woman in her hair dressing business—in fact she is at the top in the city, and is kept busy all the time. She is getting ready to go to Chicago and get on some more touches. Let the good work go on. Then off from there that same night for Okmulgee, Okla., where the Baptists were in session, and where they were booked to do big things for the Master and the Baptists of America. This convention was presided over by Dr. E. W. Perry of Oklahoma City. Do you know him? He is a remarkable man, and I was glad to see him, but I must not forget to tell you that I stopped by Muskogee and called in the office of the Watchman-Lantern and found them putting brains on paper. It was a fine thing going on in their office. But now back to the convention. They had just what I expected, big doing for the Master, and like Oklahoma, they just put the thing over right, and went on record for Coolidge and Dawes, and will vote them in if possible. Dr. Perry, spoke right out in church in his annual address, and was given an ovation. We like these strong fearless leaders, and the Baptists love him because of his frankness and his ability. They had able men to deliver addresses and sermons, and I will not be able to comment on the sermons of all the preachers, hence will not discuss any of them. Secretary J. T. Johnson, D.D., made a wonderful report as corresponding secretary of the convention, and among the visitors were Revs. O. L. Hailey, D.D., of Nashville, representing the Southern Baptist Convention; Dr. J. H. Branham, of Chicago, representing the National Baptist convention, Charles Stewart, of Chicago, general missionary of the National Baptist convention; and then there was the Rev. Dr. J. E. Kersh, of Indianapolis, who use to be in Okalhoma. I had the pleasure of seeing the Rev. Prof. preacher from Oklahoma City, who was out in California and stopped where I did and failed to settle for his board and I had to pay it myself. I spoke out in church about it, and while he got the floor after I was through and they heard him patiently. He said that I should have carried him off according to the scripture and told him in private, but when you write to a fellow and he fails to send the money, and when he went away from San Francisco without paying it, and the good woman declared that when he sent it she would return my money, and up to this time it has not been sent to her, I was just glad-to hear that Dr. Hamilton express himself, but he failed even then to cash up. He has a chance, to do so yet, and I hope his good Lord will direct him to do it. Oklahoma is raising money. I have been to another city, for I went to Chandler, and there the guest of one of the most remarkable women of this race of ours, Mrs. L. L. Sawner, principal of the Douglass school, which is a first-class school, and they are provided with strong teachers. I was proud to see such a fine building in a small city like that. Mrs. Sawner is blessed with a fine home. If you remember her husband left her recently. I told you about his death. He was a man of wealth, and a cotton buyer. In the school I found Frances Harold, George D. Alexander, Roberta Ellis, Mrs. Bessie Sanders, Myrtle Beridon. Miss Beridon was the one who met me at the stable when I reached the city, and she was accompanied by H. M. Sanders, the physician and surgeon. But honey, she made the automobile car carriage go, and it did go. She is the foster daughter to Mrs. Sawner. I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Wm. Mingo, the county agent, and Mrs. Ruby Lee Washington, county demonstrator. I am going to tell you more about the place later. Then I made it over to Tulsa the next day, spending a few hourse with Rev. P. W. DeLyle, and then on to Wichita. In this city I am the guest of Rev. J. W. Hayes, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church. This is the place where the Sunday School Congress is to meet. I will tell you about it many times again. Please let me have a line from you some day. You may reach me on election day at 4823 Calumet avenue, Chicago, for I am going to vote for Coolidge and Dawes, and we are going to send Hon. Charles S. Deneen to the United States Senate. Look out for what will be going on these days. I am delighted to se you and write these few lines to you. J. O. MIDNIGHT. IT IS NOT EASY. To apologize. To begin over. To admit error. To be unselfish.
