METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE MOB 'SHOOTS UP' JAIL. ELDER EDGAR SIMMONS BARNARD MCGRARY, DIED OCT. 29TH. JUDGE WANTS INDIGTMENTS IN LYNCHING Georgia Jurist Pictures Result of Mob Activity to Jury. Warns That All Are in Danger. Pleads for the Security of the Law. Springfield, Ga., Oct. 18. The results of mob activity were pictured to the Effingham County grand jury today by Judge Lovett in instruction which virtually demanded that some be indicted for the lynching several months ago of Philip Gaithers, a Negro. Gathers was lynched in connection with killing of Arna Jaudon, a girl. "Officers of the laws representing the sovereignty of the State, flee from mob," Judge Lovett told the grand jury. "What a pitable spectacle The State created by people, in flight, pursued by its own creators. Law looseness becomes a by word to be scoffed at; constitutional guarantees are by force made vain and empty things. "To justify such conduct some will say that the law is technical and, too slow; that justice may miscarry, and punishment be not measurably imposed. Our civil laws are administered by our own and we but indict ourselves. What assurances have any of you that, with public passion sufficiently inflamed, you may not be made a victim."

Attorney Chas. L. Rice of Md. City, Master-in-chancery of Pulaski County, Ill., who has held this inviable position for several years with honor to himself and credit to his Race and the Judge who appointed him. He has held several positions of honor, trust and emolument and always gave satisfaction to the majority of his constituents. He has been nominated State's Attorney for Pulaski county Illinois in the Sept. 15, Republican primary and is now before the voters of his party for election Nov. 2nd. He should and will be elected, unless the white Republicans bolt the ticket and side in with the Democrats as is some times the case, but if such a procedure should take place it will be disastrous for the party in the future in that county because the Negroes of Pulaski county stand together swaying the balance of power. But such will not happen because Attorney Rice, is one of the best attorneys at the bar and the whites for him because of his unusual legal talent and his honesty and fairness to all, Hurrah for Harding-Small, Rice and the entire State ticket! Dr. G, W. Dorsey, and a number of Hopwell members were over and the choir came also. The Dr., preached a good sermon and $50. and some cents were raised.

Bro. editor, we wish to say in our closing remarks that during the number of years that we have tried to pastor the Mt. Zion Baptist church we have tried to do the work of an Evangelist, and make full proof of the ministry. During almost 20 years that we have served we have never had a wrangle with the church or deacons. We have never had a church fuss nor at any time had the church to remove a deacon because of insurbordination. The church for the most part have held the revivals under the leadership of the writer. The greatest revivals have been held by the church in the absence of a new preacher. We cannot close this part of the article without a word of commendation Elders A. J. Bowers and J. H. McQueen product of the Mt. Zion Baptist church who are able ministers of the New Testament. Both have charges and are doing good work. They have been our assistant pastors, and we are not ashamed of them, and hope they are not ashamed of us. In fact they say we are the greatest pastor in the United States of course this is an overdraw, but we appreciate the remarks though it be an error. The Mt. Zion Baptist church, last year contributed $112.50 to Foreign, $12.50 to Home Missionss, upwards of $40. State Mission and about the same to district, $10. for Education. These amounts do not include the local financial work. Out of no degree of vanity have I given this out, but only to show that Baptists will do when we say Continued on page four col. 6.

We depend upon a party to promote progress, remedy evils and give efficiency in the public service. Persons can do neither. A vote for a party is a vote that will count. A vote for a person is a wasted vote. In Tuesday's election the issue is one between a party and a person—between Republicanism and Wilsonism. Every vote cast for any Republican candidate will be an endorsement of Republican principles. Every vote cast against any Republican candidate will be an endorsement of Wilson policies and practices. Republican principles mean the maintenance of American independence; protection of American labor, husbandry and industry; economy in the expenditure of public money; reduced taxes; efficiency in the public service in nation, state and county; stability of American institutions and consequent prosperity and progress. Wilson policies and practices have been for surrender of American independence to a super-state League of Nations; free trade and protection of profiteering; extravagance and waste in spending the people's money and high taxes; caring for "deserving Democrats" in the public service; social, commercial and industrial unrest. Lincoln, greatest of Republicans, said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Team work gets the best results. Harmony between the executive and the legislative branches of government in both state and nation is essential to real achievement. To vote the straight Republican ticket is to vote for harmony and team work in the public service. To "scratch" a ballot is to endorse turmoil and inefficiency. Women of Illinois have attained full citizenship. The Republican party was the chief instrument in giving it to them. With men just come of age they are "first voters." For all these the "scratched" ballot has fatal pit-falls. The one sure way, and the easiest, to make their first full vote count is to mark a cross in the Republican party circle. For a new deal at Washington; for harmony and continued efficiency in state government; for the success of Republican principles, take no chances.

STRAIGHT VOTES ARE URGED Primary Settled All Personal Questions, Party Principles Only at Stake, Now, Is View of National and State Leaders — Candidates Give Views. In the closing days of the 1920 campaign—destined to become historic—the issues have narrowed to a single phrase, the slogan of the Illinois Republican state organization—"Vote the Straight Republican Ticket." There is nothing new in this. It happens in almost every national campaign. Four years ago the single issue on election day was: "Wilson! He kept us out of war." In the earlier stages of the present campaign many issues were discussed. Reasons were given why voters should support the Republican ticket and vice versa. But, just as the experienced knew it would happen, in the final week the party issue became the sole issue. It has come home to Republican voters that Republican success means the success of the whole Republican ticket, national, state and local. Also, that to get the full benefit of a Republican administration and congress and to carry Republican policies into effect. Washington must be supported by Republican executive officers and a Republican legislature at Springfield, and 'the state administration backed by Republican, county officials. Every candidate from Senator Harding down, and every Republican leader is advocating the "straight vote" method for turning the Democrats out where they are in, and of keeping them out where they are not in. Senator Harding took his own way of stating the issue to Illinois Republicans, at Effingham, when, relying upon the heavy straight vote of the state, he said, "Len Small will be the next governor of Illinois, and William B. McKinley will be the next United States senator from Illinois." Senator Hiram Johnson of California, was direct in his suggestion. "When Americans go into a primary," he said at Chicago, "they must abide by the result. Any other course is unjustifiable." Chairman Frank L. Smith of the Illinois Republican State Central committee, puts it this way: "It is an unwritten, but effective, law of the Republican party that when its men or women enter the primary of their party, either as candidates or voters, and whether for national, state or local offices when the primary is over, they must get into the ranks of the party and support the winners for election. That is obeying the rule of the majority, which all tacitly agree to do by participating in the primary." "Vote the straight ticket," is also the slogan of the candidates themselves. Herewith are the reasons of some of the leaders on the state ticket why this should be done: LEN SMALL, candidate for governor—The Republican candidates were chosen by Republican voters. They are entitled to the votes of all Republicans. Illinois is entitled to the economical, faithful administration that only Republicans ever give it. A Republican national administration needs the backing of a Republican state administration, and if a vacancy in the United States senate should occur from Illinois, a Republican governor is needed to fill it with a Republican. FRED E. STERLING, candidate for lieutenant governor—The two Democratic administrations we have had within the memory of the present generation of voters finished with records of deficits and inefficiency and a depleted treasury. Republican administrations have invariably left records of efficiency and achievement with large balances in the treasury. These are sufficient reasons for voting the Republican ticket straight. LOUIS L. EMMERSON, candidate for secretary of state—Under the Republican administration of the past four years Illinois has taken long strides forward. It is, I believe, the only state which has reduced taxes in the past three years. It is among the few which have undertaken great enterprises. The candidates on the state ticket have pledged themselves to maintain this record, and the people have always found the Republican party faithful. E. J. BRUNDAGE, candidate for attorney general—All candidates on the Republican state ticket should be elected because the Republican party is not alone the instrument of progress for the nation and for the state, but because to vote the straight ticket is the best method by which the voters may urge their demand for efficiency in the public service. MRS. HELEN MATTHEWS GRIGSBY, candidate for university truce-The incoming national administration will be Republican. Therefore the relations between the national and state governments will be more harmonious and better results will be achieved if the state government is also Republican. RICHARD YATES, candidate for congressman at large—The Republican party is still the best party—the best business party, the best labor party and the most patriotic party. These are reasons enough for a straight Republican vote. CHARLES W. VAIL, candidate for clerk of the supreme court—Vote the Republican ticket straight because every man and woman on it should be elected for his or her ability and integrity, and because they were chosen in a primary in which every voter had the right to express his choice. A single mis-mark on a scratched ticket, and a vote is lost entirely. There is an old saying that it is better to be safe than sorry, and the Republican party circle method of marking a ballot is the one safe method. There is this about voting a straight Republican ticket next Tuesday. You will have a clear idea of what you want and how to get it. The fellow who splits his ticket will confess he is muddled and hasn't a clear idea about anything. Honestly now, Mr., Mrs, or Miss Voter, if you want to get rid of Woodrow Wilson as president, do you think it would be fair to wish one of his minor satellites on Illinois as governor? Of course you don't. That is why you are going to vote the straight Republican ticket. How many crosses must you mark on your ballot to give one vote to Harding and Coolidge if you vote a split ticket? Twenty-nine. How many if you vote a straight ticket? One. Who wants to spend all day in a voting booth? WOMEN VOTERS IN PARTICULAR URGED TO TAKE NO CHANCES OF DISFRANCHISING THEMSELVES. BALLOT TO BE A YARD LONG Single Cross in Party Circle Will Be a Vote for All Candidates on a Straight Ticket—More Than Fifty Crosses Necessary for Full Split Ticket. When Illinois men and women go to the polls to vote on Tuesday, November 2, each will be handed a ballot 11 columns wide and more than a yard long. Republican voters will be confronted with a list of 44 names on the national and state tickets alone. Add to these the names of all congressional, legislative and county candidates and the list becomes appalling indeed, particularly to the inexperienced. That is to say the list would be appalling if each vote had to mark his ballot for each individual candidate for whom he desired to vote. But he doesn't. There is an easy way of voting and a hard way. By the easy way every voter can mark his ticket in a quarter of a minute, and know that his vote will count for a candidate for every office. By the hard way no voter—no matter what his experience or intelligence may be—can properly mark his ballot within the time allowed by law for doing so, and besides each runs a grave risk of spoiling his ballot and of having it count for no one at all. The easy way of voting is to mark a straight ticket. The hard, and also the dangerous way is to try to mark what is called a "split" ticket. Experienced voters, which is to say men who have voted in several general elections, know all about this. Therefore they generally vote straight tickets. They don't take chances of spoiling their ballots, and thereby disfranchising themselves. The inexperienced voters—men who have just come of age and women who are for the first time, in Illinois, to exercise the right of voting for all candidates—are the ones regarded as likely to become confused by the long list of names and spoil their ballots. This is the particular reason why the Republican state organization is appealing to all those who want to make sure their votes will be counted for Harding and Coolidge to vote a straight ticket and to run no chances. To illustrate: To vote for Harding and Coolidge on a straight ticket requires that the voter shall make but a single cross, and that in a place he cannot possibly miss—the circle opposite the name "Republican party," at the top of the teft-hand column on the ballot. That is, one mark will give one vote to the candidate for president and vice president and all Republican candidates for state, congressional and legislative offices as well. But to vote for Harding and Coolide on a "split" ticket the voter must mark a cross in the name of each separate presidential elector, or 29 separate marks, in order to give them one whole vote (because Illinois has 29 presidential electors), and in addition mark crosses for each individual candidate voted for. In other words, each voter can vote for candidates for all offices with a single cross by voting a straight ticket, but he will have to mark more than 50 crosses if he undertakes to vote SHAKESPEAR SAID: "All The World Grant the truth now as then.
