Johnson, who represent- ed the ninth legislative district, which comprises most of the second ward in the last session of the legislature, is a candidate for re-election and requests his friends, whom he believes were pleased with his record to vote for him at the primaries August 10. Among one of the important bills which Mr. Johnson introduced was H. R. No. 127, which provided for increasing the number of juvenile court workers from 3 to 6, urging in support of his measure that this would permit the employment of a colored juvenile court worker to which he believed they were entitled. The bill passed the house by a vote of 81 to 15 but was indefinitely postponed in the senate. Mr. Johnson was born and reared in the district in which he now lives. He is a lawyer, a graduate of the Nebraska University and Creighton Law school. He is a veteran of the world war and served as lieutenant in the air service. He is now a captain in the reserve corps of the air service, and was the first to make a commercial flight over Omaha. YOUNG RACE DENTIST SEEKS NOMINATION FOR REPRESENTATIVE Dr. John A. Singleton, as is generally known, was among the first to announce his candidacy for State Representative. He was among the first to file from the Ninth district which has relatively a large colored vote. Dr. Singleton is a young man of ability, aggressive and progressive. He would make an excellent representative. He was born, reared and educated in Omaha, and as native Omahans are seeking political preferment, he fully fills the bill. In 1892 and 1894, when Omaha had a colored population of less than 4,000, Dr. M. O. Rickett was elected to the legislature where he served with distinction. Our population is nearly six times as large as it was then. LARGE ATTENDANCE AT ST.

EDITORIAL We have a fighting chance to and to elect in November a memorial; but let us bear in mind and by no means a certainty. We selves or others. We are too easy political strength which an exam not justify. When we cease to run with facts we will get somewhere. Let us talk less and figure more. Facts and figures tell us that only a slim fighting chance to seeture. That chance, as we see it includes 12 precincts of the Second Ward are Lothrop-Bristol street on the east, the north side of Chest east side of Thirtieth street on the. But please bear in mind that does not include all of the Second Fourth, Fourteenth and Fifth the territory between Clark and Tieth, and between Burdette and Thirtieth are excluded. You are Now Precincts 14 and 15 are almost largely so. These heavy colony from the Ninth District and attack clever trick or maneuver has large District.

These facts show that in be our full present registered voting didate, and enlist the support which can be done for a strong sentative in either one of these is doubtful. In one certainly, register and vote there would be words, in neither one of these votes to nominate or elect one or by combination; and since we have publican candidate in either made. These, then, are the plained upon one candidate, it is from white voters to nominate either of these two legislative concentrated vote. It cannot be. Viewing these facts, we be nominate a candidate at this time only one candidate has filed in Singleton. He is a young man, in Omaha, a member of a resp education, being a graduate of university. He is married, has the tax and taxpayer. Like the rest of He has a good opinion of himself, and has a good deal of self-when we are young, but which older. He is a church member and Legion and of several fraternities.

This is goiton's rival for the nomination. We the District in the last session, servedly popular in the District. We hope to see Singleton will continue fighting until we age House, and the Ninth District the best opportunity. If we had District, where, unfortunately, Mrs. Jabournness Alice Stewart, a can be elected, will be an excellent nett, the chances for winning woe in the Ninth. But this division, a chances to win in the Tenth. The Monitor is anxious to exact as it is and not be deceive ought to have about 4,000 vote Ninth and Tenth Legislative District have only 2,000 now registered in each district. It is upon this chances for nominating and elect Legislature. Knowing the facts, Since this was written Mrs. situation in the Tenth District. nighting chance to nominate at the November a member of our race to bear in mind that it is only a certainty. We gain nothing but we are too easily deceived and which an examination of hard, when we cease to rely upon our image will get somewhere. While we talk and figure more. figures tell us that we have a fighting chance to send one of our growers, as we see it, is in the Ninth District of the Second Ward, the bourne Bristol street on the north; the north side of Charles street on the twelfth street on the west. I bear in mind that the Ninth Legion all of the Second Ward. By a skilful threeteenth and Fifteenth precincts, between Clark and Charles from Eighteen Burdette and Charles from Telfield. You never thought of 14 and 15 are almost solidly colored. These heavy colored precincts have District and attached to the Tenth Avenue has largely reduced our vote, these three precincts been included age this would have been to our dominant political factor in the strong strength in the District is one and it is 1,690. The unregistered vote Our registered vote in the Tenth High well these facts. Not guesses. I show that in both districts if we are registered voting strength, center the support of a few hundred one for a strong candidate, we could one of these district, perhaps in one certainly. If we could get at the there would be no question about one of these districts, have we elect or elect one of our own. This is and since we have enough votes in either district such combo, are the plain facts: With our candidate, it is possible to secureers to nominate and elect one of two legislative districts, but it must be. It cannot be done by scattering these facts, we believe our best fight candidate at this time is in the Ninth State has filed in the person of Dr. is a young man, 31 years of age, member of a respected pioneer family, a graduate of Central High school, has three children and Like the rest of us, he has his opinion of himself, which is not the good deal of self-conceit—like the young, but which is knocked out of church member and also a member of several fraternities. These facts are the petty, personal likes and dislikes we ever expect to come into our eyes is no reason why we cannot get because he is Singleton, but because in the House and regain the in this state when our numbers are now, and he is the available can him we have a fighting chance of rating our ability to put over some win the respect of those who, because our ability to do and largely regularings. This is going to be no easy for the nomination, Walter R. Johnson, the last session, is an excellent in the District. See Singleton win, because we believing until we again have a republican Ninth District seems to us, at theunity. If we had only one candidate unfortunately, we have two—in Alice Stewart, a most capable woman will be an excellent representative for winning would be as good, if at this division, as we see it, radical in the Tenth. Or is anxious to have our people and not be deceived or deluded by a about 4,000 voters registered and Legislative Districts—2,000 in each now registered in both, which means it is upon this basis that we haveinating and electing a representative giving the facts, let us act wisely and has written Mrs. Stewart has died, Tenth District. We have a fighting chance to nominate at the August primary and to elect in November a member of our race to the State Legislature; but let us bear in mind that it is only a fighting chance and by no means a certainty. We gain nothing by deceiving ourselves or others. We are too easily deceived and make claims of political strength which an examination of hard, cold facts does not justify. When we cease to rely upon our imagination and deal with facts we will get somewhere. While we talk others figure. Let us talk less and figure more. Facts and figures tell us that we have a fighting chance, and only a slim fighting chance to send one of our group to the legislature. That chance, as we see it, is in the Ninth District—which includes 12 precincts of the Second Ward, the boundaries of which Ward are Lothrop-Bristol street on the north; the Missouri river on the east, the north side of Charles street on the south and the east side of Thirtieth street on the west. But please bear in mind that the Ninth Legislative District does not include all of the Second Ward. By a skillful geremander the Fourth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth precincts, which embrace the territory between Clark and Charles from Eighteenth to Thirtieth, and between Burdette and Charles from Twenty-fourth to Thirtieth are excluded. You never thought of that, did you? Now Precincts 14 and 15 are almost solidly colored, and Precinct 4 very largely so. These heavy colored precincts have been detached from the Ninth District and attached to the Tenth District. This clever trick or maneuver has largely reduced our vote in the Ninth District. Had these three precincts been included you can see what an advantage this would have been to our people. It would have made us the dominant political factor in the District. Our registered voting strength in the District is only about 1,000, while in the Ward it is 1,690. The unregistered voters will largely increase this. Our registered vote in the Tenth District is about the same. Weigh well these facts. Not guesses, but carefully collected facts. These facts show that in both districts if we could poll even our full present registered voting strength, centered on one candidate, and enlist the support of a few hundred white voters, which can be done for a strong candidate, we could elect a representative in either one of these district, perhaps in both; but that is doubtful. In one certainly. If we could get all our people to register and vote there would be no question about it. In other words, in neither one of these districts, have we enough colored votes to nominate or elect one of our own. This can only be done by combination; and since we have enough votes to defeat any republican candidate in either district such combination can be made. These, then, are the plain facts: With our race vote centered upon one candidate, it is possible to secure enough support from white voters to nominate and elect one of our number in either of these two legislative districts, but it must be a united and concentrated vote. It cannot be done by scattering our fire. Viewing these facts, we believe our best fighting chance to nominate a candidate at this time is in the Ninth District, where only one candidate has filed in the person of Dr. John Andrew Singleton. He is a young man, 31 years of age, born and reared in Omaha, a member of a respected pioneer family, and of good education, being a graduate of Central High school and Howard university. He is married, has three children and is a homeowner and taxpayer. Like the rest of us, he has his faults of course. He has a good opinion of himself, which is not the worst of failings, and has a good deal of self-conceit—like the most of us have when we are young, but which is knocked out of us as we grow older. He is a church member and also a member of the American Legion and of several fraternities. These facts are all in his favor. Laying aside petty, personal likes and dislikes, which we must learn to do, if we ever expect to come into our own politically or otherwise, there is no reason why we cannot get unitedly behind Singleton, not because he is Singleton, but because we ought to have a representative in the House and regain the political prestige we once had in this state when our numbers were one-sixth less than they are now, and he is the available candidate. Getting unitedly behind him we have a fighting chance of nominating him and so demonstrating our ability to put over some one program and by so doing win the respect of those who, because of our divisions, underrate our ability to do and largely regard us as children, pawns or playthings. This is going to be no easy job; for Singleton's rival for the nomination, Walter R. Johnson, who represented the District in the last session, is is an excellent young man, deservedly popular in the District. We hope to see Singleton win, because we believe we have got to continue fighting until we again have a representative in the House, and the Ninth District seems to us, at this time, to offer the best opportunity. If we had only one candidate in the Tenth District, where, unfortunately, we have two—in the persons of Mrs. Jabourness Alice Stewart, a most capable woman, who, if she can be elected, will be an excellent representative; and F. L. Barnett, the chances for winning would be as good., if not better than in the Ninth. But this division, as we see it, radically weakens our chances to win in the Tenth. The Monitor is anxious to have our people see the situation exactly as it is and not be deceived or deluded by false hopes. We ought to have about 4,000 voters registered and voting in the Ninth and Tenth Legislative Districts—2,000 in each district. We have only 2,000 now registered in both, which means about 1,000 in each district. It is upon this basis that we have to figure our chances for nominating and electing a representative to the State Legislature. Knowing the facts, let us act wisely and intelligently. Since this was written Mrs. Stewart has died, which alters the situation in the Tenth District.

Vol. XII.—No. 5. LAUGHTER, THEME OF WAR PICTURE AT LAKE THEATRE Laughter, not slaughter is the ruling theme of "Behind the Front", Paramount's contribution to the story of the Great War, which comes to the Lake theatre Sunday. "Behind the Front" is a comedy of the A. E. F., which features the humor, adventures, and disillusionment of a couple of dumb doughboys, played by that inimitable character team, Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton. Their roles are taken from life, for every battalion had two such characters, who served to furnish laughter for their buddies and plenty of mixups and trouble for their superiors. Through the whole story runs a fine thread of romance, with beautiful Mary Brian playing the role of a Red Cross worker in France. The picture was directed by Edward Sutherland, who directed Raymond Griffith in "A'Regular Fellow". The supporting cast includes Chester Conklin, Richard Arlen, Louise Lorraine and Gertrude Astor. Y.

Alice Stewart Passes Away at Family Residence Wednesday Noon After Brief CANDIDATE FOR NOMINATION First Woman of Race in Nebraska to File for Political Office. Endorsed by Clvic Mrs. Alicia J. Stewart, aged 51, wife of William T. Stewart, government inspector, prominent and active in musical, church and political affairs, and first woman of Negro race to file for political office in Nebraska, died at the family residence, 2515 Parker street, at noon Wednesday, after a brief illness. Mrs. Stewart had not been in the best of health for some months, but so cheerful, sunny and uncomplaining was she that few, even of her most intimate friends knew it. She took to her bed only a few days ago, but as this was not generally known, her death, wholly unexpected, came as a great shock. Mrs. Stewart, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Shipton, of Denver, Colo., was born in Chicago, June 5, 1875, shortly before her parents removed to Denver. She was graduated from Lincoln institute, Jefferson City, Mo., at the age of seventeen and married Elijah Lovejoy Hamlin, residing in St. Louis, until Mr. Hamlin died in 1902. She then went south to teach music and was head of the music department of Clark university, Atlanta, Ga., for three years and of the same department at Philander Smith college, Little Rock, Ark., for four years. In 1910 she was married to William T. Stewart in Chicago, the couple coming directly to Omaha where they have since resided. Mrs. Stewart has devoted herself teaching music and has left her impression upon the community by the inspiration and help she was to many who are now good musicians. An ardent suffragist she took an active part in civic and political affairs. She had accepted a filling for nomination on the republican ticket at the approaching primary for State representative from the tenth district for which she had received the endorsement of the Civic league. She was an active worker in religious affairs and was a member of Hillside Presbyterian church. Mrs. Stewart is survived by her husband, two sisters, Mrs. John Crawford of this city, and Mrs. Ellen Russ of Denver; two nieces, Mrs. Florentine F. Pinkston of Omaha, and Mrs. Benjamin Clark of Denver; three nephews, J. Dillard and Lovejoy Crawford of Omaha, and Eugene Russ of Los Angeles, Cal., and other relatives. The body was taken to St. Louis, Mo., Thursday night for interment. Mr. Stewart accompanied the remains. Mrs. Charles H. Stanton and little son, Richard, are visiting relatives and friends in Portland, Ore. Mr. Stanton expects to join them during his vacation next month. Sergt.

The ‘eebdie ty latte, JOSEPH KOUTSKY for Sheriff — i ae | oe q an, > ee For the voters’ information, Mr. Koutsky started life in a sod house in Saunders county, Nebraska, in 1875, his parents being among the first home- steaders in the state, and he has lived in eastern Nebraska all of his life. JOSEPH KOUTSKY, candi- date for Sheriff on the Republi- can ticket, is now completing his second term as City Com- missioner in charge of the De- partment of Public Improve- ments in the City of Omaha. During, Mr. Koutsky’s admini- stration there has been laid over one-half the paved streets within the city and this was accomplished at from 25 to 40 per cent less than in any other city similarily situated in this country. If Mr. Koutsky is elected sher- iff, he wants the voters of Oma- ha and Douglas county to know that he will be the real sheriff, and will take full charge of the office entrusted to him. No in- dividual or organization will dictate the policies of the sher- iff’s office. Mr. Koutsky will conduct his campaign on the following prin- ciples: First—E very one connected with the sheriff's office must be honorable in his perform- ance of duty. Second—No inhuman treat- ment of prisoners will be tol- erated. Third—No home will ever be entered for the purpose of mak- ing a search without a war- rant properly issued and based on reliable information. Fourth—Mr. Koutsky guar- antees to protect the rights of citizenship as provided in the constitution of the United States to all American citizens regard- less of race, color or creed. Fifth—A square deal for everybody” will be given under the personal. supervision of Joseph Koutsky. If you believe in these prin- ciples, vote for For Sheriff. _ ENTERTAIN FOR OKLAHOMA RELATIVES Mr. and Mrs, F. T.
