EVERYONE GETS SOMETHING IN AN IMMENSE $ 6,000 GIFT DISTRIBUTION INAUGURATED BY THIS NEWSPAPER TODAY The Advocate Announces Most Generous Enterprise Ever Inaugurated in This Section; Big Beautiful Touring Car Heads the List of Grand Capital Prizes to be Awarded Absolutely Free. Nomination Blanks in This Issue Permit You to Participate. Today the Kansas iCty Advocate inaugurates a most stupendous "Every one Wins Something" automobile and gold gift distribution. Gifts totaling over $6,000 including handsome speedy automobile and great bags of gold and silver (containing as high as $150.00) are to be distributed among the men and women, boys and girls of Kansas City, Kansas, and this territory. SOMETHING DIFFERENT This is to be a memorable event. It is to be unlike anything ever before attempted. It is to be a FRIEND MAKING CAMPAIGN This is to be a memorable event, fore attempted. It is to be a FRIENI In addition to the big automobile The Advocate is making it possible for takes part in this distribution to be a slogan. And everyone DOES WIN. That everyone participating in the "Everyone Wins." The Advocate has in commissions. This is over and abe Twenty Per Cent Cash In addition to the big automobile and the purses of gold and silver, The Advocate is making it possible for every man, woman boy or girl, who takes part in this distribution to be a prize winner. "Everyone Wins" is the slogan. And everyone DOES WIN. That everyone participating in this election may know in advance that "Everyone Wins." The Advocate has set aside a sum of money to be paid in commissions. This is over and above the capital prizes. To every reader who participates and who does not win one of the big automobiles or one of the big cash prizes The Advocate will pay a cash commission of 20 per cent on all subscriptions turned in during the event. That means Advocate readers who actively participate are GUARANTEED at the very least, one dollar of every five dollars received for subscriptions during the election. Did you ever hear of anything more fair? No, and no one else ever did. Why Do We Do It? Now, why does The Advocate put up $6,000 in gifts? Why does The Advocate guarantee every reader, who is active in this election, valuable consideration for his or her effort? There are two reasons. First—This is a FRIEND MAKING ELECTION. Second—Only by conducting a FAIR AND LIBERAL election with GIFTS OF VALUE TO EVERYONE who participates, will it be possible for the Advocate to accomplish its aim. And what is The Advocate's aim? How can The Advocate afford to give away ABSOLUTELY FREE, WITHOUT ONE CENT OF EXPENSE TO ANYONE more than $6,000? In this election The Advocate hopes to secure more subscriptions—to enlarge its already large list, to secure renewals. In this election The Advocate hopes to add to its great family of friends. This will be accomplished not alone by the addition of new subscriptions, by the renewal of subscriptions, but by the manner in which this election is conducted. Every member who takes part in this election will when it is over, be a living advertisement for The Advocate. That is the aim 'Of course this election will not pay The Advocate immediately in dollars and cents. It would be unreasonable to expect that. Then why, you may ask, do you put up so much money when you know in advance that you cannot get it back from the subscriptions received? And the answer— There are things more valuable to a newspaper than money. Subscriptions are more valuable. Subscriptions give a newspaper prestige power and enhance the value of its advertising columns. The Advocate is taking its own medicine. It is advertising. It is spending money to create subscriptions—spending money to add to its advertising patronage and to create a greater good will. It will not pay The Advocate in dollars today. But the effects of this election, the subscriptions that will be gained, the friends who will be made will be of lasting and estimable benefit. The Advocate is simply investing in its future, in the future of this section of Kansas. Frankly, in the end, it will profit The Advocate. Circulation Necessary. Circulation is absolutely necessary to a newspaper. But it is always an expense. No newspaper ever made money on its subscription list. Your Advocate costs the publisher more each year to produce it and deliver it to you than you pay. However, if by the spending of $6,000 now, The Advocate will in- Vol. X11 "Everyone Wins" Here's the "How."

A Business Proposition. It is simply a business proposition and sound from every standpoint. No one loses, not even The Advocate. This paper will not realize the benefits and cash in on them as soon as do our readers who carry on with us in this great gift distribution. The equipment of The Advocate is so complete that it can care for 10,000 readers each week just as easily as it can care for half that number. And that is the goal—10,000 subscriptions—that it hopes to reach as a result of this great gift distribution. Its Fair and Square. The Advocate's plan for this great gift distribution is absolutely fair and square. Friends and readers of this paper are to determine to whom the winner will be. The campaign is a very short one and under no circumstances will it be extended beyond the date advertised. At the end, a committee of judges whose names appear in the double page announcement, will count and tabulate the vote totals and those who poll the greatest number of votes will whisk away to their homes in their own luxurious machine. All others will receive sums in CASH in proportion to their vote total, as explained in the announcement. This feature alone makes this paper in demand by those who want to be correctly informed of the happenings of the nation, as well as of local events. The Advocate is a "ready seller" in every home and contestants in The Advocate Gift Distribution will find it easy to secure subscriptions and renewals. Friends Help Candidates. Persons who have never taken part in a voting campaign of this magnitude are able to realize how rapidly their vote totals accumulate. Once the start is made, they pile up like magic. Subscriptions and coupons will secure thousands of votes in the Advocate campaign. And it is not expected that the candidates will depend wholly upon their own efforts—friends will help them to gather votes—and what a merry pastime it will be—with beautiful reward at the end. There are plenty of prizes to go around among the hustlers—indeed there is a prize, either CASH or a car for every active participant. The plan is a competitive one and will be conducted on a business basis. The bigger your effort the bigger your prize. Turn now to pages 2 and 3 and read the big announcement. See for yourself the unprecedented opportunity the Advocate is placing before you. And get an early start for one of the automobiles by sending in your Nomination Blank or that of a friend today. The Advocate office is open from 9:00 in the morning till 8 o'clock in the evening during the campaign. A Short Campaign. New in Demand. Kansas City, Kansas. November 27,1925 EPISCOPAL PREROGATIVE I am writing this article from Grand Island. That part of Nebraska that is away from turbulent waters and shadows that fall from towering rooms, so characteristic of the mountain ranges further west. From the window where I sit, there lies before me an open prairie. Away yonder in the distance is the falling of the evening sun. Wonderful shades there! Not black, nor red, nor crimson. It is the border line of the day. The color is golden. There where I look nature is at rest. Sentimental birds have already proclaimed for the hour. "Even tide and all is well." Impressive vision this, for in the heavens where I gaze there appears the perfect peace and a sweet quietitude. Upon the little table before me, serving in an improvised study, are important documents and the papers of my church. These documents and church papers are not all commissioners of peace. One of the list is vile and damable. It contains official sentiments and cursed; sentiments coming from one whom the church picked up, made fat and gave power. Not alone, however, this editor. Others there are, some dead who perhaps established a dangerous and threatening precedent and our church all rights to defend. Newer, younger, and more radical minds tear and tear at the very heart of things so many of us love, by sponsoring as unjust and unlawful publicity campaign—and nothing is done. This article therefore proposes a suggestive study on "Episcopal Prerogative" as a remedy against depredations committed against the general church by such as think themselves immune to the penalties of our church law and the authorized mandates of our Bench of Bishops. Better stated an answer to the queries "Is there no power in the Bishop's Council to protect the church against the unlawful conduct of a general officer, 'Ad Interim'?" Our Government In approaching this study there are two first considerations necessary. The method by which the government of the A. M. E. Church is evolved, and secondly, the method necessary for its maintenance. For the first consideration, we find a similarity in the idea and principles of our federal and state governments. Powers not reserved to the states nor prohibited by the constitution of the United States are regarded as legislated and vested in the central government. No state may exercise any right or privilege of which it has by its sovereign act become divested. Whenever a state trespasses, the Executive may call to motion any part or all of the protective machinery of our federated government for relief. Under the constitution it is his duty so to do. The law of the land must be upheld. The central government of the A. M. E. Church is evolved upon the divested rights of the individual. When he comes, as per law, for membership in our denominational body he makes a complete surrender of certain privileges. Upon acquiring membership there are certain inalienable rights vested in him by our Central government. (The General Church). These rights are defined, stipulated, modified and published for the benefit of each individual applying for and having received membership. The codification is controlling of the official and lay conduct of the members of our connection. It is styled, "The Doctrine and Discipline of the A. M. E. Church." Those privileges granted to the members by our general law may not be infringed upon by any official or legislative act of our administrative or legislative body. Among these vested privileges, is an enormous property right. For if by any act, the general church would be reduced to a small group of individuals and that group maintaining the recognized antonomy of the general church should not care to continue its corporate existence longer, each member thereof becomes at once a distributee of such properties as the corporate body may own. Now in return fr LAST FRIDAY FIFTEEN AUTOMOBILES CARRY 75 FRIENDS TO POOR FARM Under the 'superintendency of the Mission Circle of First Baptist church carried to the poor farm of Wyandotte county, seventy-five persons from the city at large. The party took seven gallons of ice cream, an abundance of cake and candy for the inmates, whom they served. After a short address by Rev. H. D. Allen, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, the party returned back home. Messrs. Fred White, James Edmonds and Mrs. Edith Edmonds made the arrangements for the trip. REV. B. R. ROSS IN EVANGELIS- TIC WORK. Rev. B. R. Ross one of the west's great A. M. E. ministers for many years, is now in the evangelistic work for the saving of souls. Rev. Ross has just closed some profitable revivals, in the state. Ministers who desire the services of Evangelist Ross, can reach him by writing to 707 East 10th Avenue, Topeka, Kansas. "Do you believe that jazz is dying?" "I don't know, but it sounds as if it were suffering horribly.—Epworth Herald. these privileges each and every member jointly and severally divests him or herself of certain rights and privileges which prior to his or her subscribing to the obliigation of allegiance and receiving membership, could be lawfully exercised. To-wit: He diverts himself of the right to call a preacher, to make certain theological establishments contrary to the accepted faith of the church, to dictate the appointments of the Bishop, to commit any act contrary to the law of our general body, and in a large measure his right of free speech. He is clearly under the law, divested of, and prohibited from exercising the right to make undue publicity against a minister or member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Upon this point the law is very clear: "It shall be unlawful for any editor, or publisher, of any official organ of the A. M. E. Church or for any General Officer, to utter publish, circulate or distribute literature defaming or compromising the personal, or official character of any minister or layman, pastor, general officer or bishop, unless as the result of the findings of a duly constituted court. Any general officer violating this enactment shall be subject to trial according to provisions of section 3rd. The criticism which comes to any governmental body for lack of law enforcement, is in most every instance directed to the administrative department of that body. Like wise so in this case. When a general officer or any other individual unlawfully maligns or reflects upon the character of any member of our church including those upon our bench of bishops, it is not the member of bishop who is hurt singly, but the organized body of the church as such. Every lay member suffers, our property interests are jeopardized. our moral and membership obligation to our minister and lay brethren are made almost impossible of fulfillment. We are forced to encounter circumstances and conditions of which we would otherwise be relieved. The financial undertaking of the A. M. E. Church is enormous. The ministerial and membership burden EOUR—Advocate is great, but each member within the body has obligated himself to stand squarely beneath that burden and deliver. It is almost pathetic, the unpunishable conduct of some, when one takes into consideration the serious contractual relationship which the general church has assumed specifically toward its ministrative agencies, and the contractual relationship which these have assumed toward the general body. (To be continued in next issue.) SOCIETY NEWS QUINDARO NOTES Bishop and Mrs. W. T. Vernon have returned home after more than two months in the east where the bishop has been holding his conference.

E. church, has organized a new club composed of young matrons of the church, which will be a strictly financial auxiliary. If the pastor's plans don't miscarry it will be a working force. The club, as yet, has not been named. The Paragonian Art and Social Club met on Friday, November 20, with Mrs. Ersa Perkins as hostess, at her home, 621 Parallel avenue.

You must plan out your campaign the same as any successful business man plans out his work for a season, and above everything else let no one discourage you, but stick to the finish. Anything worth having is worth striving for. A few short weeks and you may be riding in your own automobile. It takes votes to win, and votes are secured in two ways: First, by clipping the coupons appearing in each issue of the Kansas City Advocate. Begin by gathering them now. After a short time.these coupons must be deposited at the campaign department of the Kansas City Advocate on or before the expiration date printed thereon. Get your friends saving these coupons for you—they all count. The other, and faster way to get votes is by securing a new and renewal subscriptions turned in a certain number of votes are issued, the number varying according to amount paid and during which “period” same are received at the campaign department (see schedule of votes elsewhere.) So, you see, the more sub- scriptions you secure the more you can get and the better your chances are to capture the grand capital prize. EARLY START MEANS EASY FINISH The advantages of any early start are man- ifest. Not only do you have the full time in which to secure the winning votes, but now and up to and including January 2nd, 1926, you wiil receive the maximum schedule of votes on subscriptions, while those who put off enter- ing until a later date will have to take what is left. Don’t lose valuable time by waiting to “see what the other fellow is going to do.” But pitch right in and show the “other fellow” how to do ite ADVISORY BOARD It is the sincere aim of this newspaper to conduct this election, from start to finish in a fair honorable and impartial manner. Every precaution has been taken to safeguard the interests of participants and absolute honesty in all dealings is guaranteed, However, not all wisdom lies with any one man or institution, and for that Advisory Board has been decided upon, whose functions shall be to decide any question of sufficient moments that happen to arise during the com- petition and from which a committee shall be selected to act as judges and count the votes the last night of the election, The object of this aistripution is two ioid—— primarily to increase the already large sub- seription lists of the Kansas City Advocate, to collect subscription payments from present or new subscribers and at the same time afford our friends and readers an unparalleled op- portuntiy to profit and in a big way, through their spare time during the next few weeks. So, it is a plan that works both ways and to the ultimate good of all concerned. In order to gain this end quickly and advan- tageously, the most valuable and attractive list of prizes ever offered by 2 local newspaper in this section of the country has been made ready for distribution among those who participate most heartily. Ambition and energy are the only requisites for success. The plan adopted is the fairest and most impartial conceivable. There will be no “dou- ble vote” offers extra votes given, or any other vote inducement whatever inaugurated during this, competition. The plan of the campaign is straight-forward and simple and is fully outlined in this announcement. Let it be fully understood at the very outset that this is not a “beauty” nor “popularity” contest, but a strictly legitimate competitive proposition for enterprising -men and women, and boys and girls, and one in which no ele- ment of chance enters. One feature of this competition is the fact that there will be no losers in this race. HOW TO ENTER THE ELECTION The first step, in order to become a candi- date and compete for a prize, is to clip the nomination coupon appearing in this issue; fill in your name and address and mail or deliver to the campaign department of the Kansas City Advocate. This coupon entitles you, or the person whom you might wish to nominate to 5000 free votes. HOW VOTES ARE SECURED The next step is to call on or write the cam- paign department for a free working outfit, consisting of a special receipt book, sample copies of the paper and other information rel- ative to launching an active campaign.

Deliver in Flat Package PAGE THREE TION REE REGULATIONS IONS 13—In case of typographical or any other error, it is understood that neither the publisher nor campaign manager shall be held responsible, except for the necessary correction upon the same. 14—Every candidate is an authorized agent of the Kansas City Advocate and as such may collect subscription payments from present as well as from new subscribers. 15—Extension of subscriptions will receive votes according to the vote schedule in effect when the first subscription was paid. 16—It is distinctly understood and agreed that candidates will be responsible for all moneys collected and that they will remit such amounts in full at frequent intervals or on demand to the campaign department. 17—There will be several big prizes awarded besides a 20% cash commission to all ACTIVE non-prize winners, but it is distinctively understood that in the event ANY candidate becomes INACTIVE, failing to make a cash report twice a week, he or she will. at the decision of the management, become disqualified and thereby forfeit all right to a prize or commission. No commission will be paid under $5.00. 18—To insure absolute fairness in the awarding of prizes, the race will be brought to a close under "sealed ballot box" system, and will be under the personal supervision of two or more judges selected from the Advisory Board. During the last period of the election, the box, locked and sealed, will repose in the vaults of a local bank, where candidates and their friends will deposit their final collections and reserve votes. And not until the race has been declared closed will the seals be broken, the box unlocked, and the judges begin a final count. In this way, no one, not even the campaign manager, each possibly know the voting strength of the respective candidates which precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures fairness to the minutest degree. 19—The Kansas City Advocate reserves the right to amend or add to the rules of this election if necessary for the protection of the interests of both the candidates and this newspaper. The right is also reserved to increase and add to the list of prizes. 20—Twenty-five thousand extra votes will be given on each new yearly subscription during the first period of the campaign; 10,000 extra votes will be given on each new yearly subscription during the second period and 5000 votes the third period. No extension or extra votes during the last period. 21—The Kansas City Advocate guarantees fair and impartial treatment to all candidates, but should any question rise, the decision of the management will be absolute and final. 88—Campaign opens today—closing January 30, 1926. In accepting nominations, candidates agree to abide by the above conditions. NG COUPON ADOCATE "EVERYONE WINS" DISTRIBUTION 100 VOTES the credit of: ---
