Despite the repetition on March 12 of the questionnaire, no further replies have been received except acknowledgments of the receipt of the questionnaire by secretaries of five of the candidates. "The questions asked by the association on behalf of the Colored people of America," says the association in its statement, "are regarded by Colored voters as vital national issues to twelve million American Negroes.

Mitchell Palmer, Senator Hitchcock, Governor Cox of Ohio; Senator Warren G. Harding, Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, Senator Hiram W.

ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1920 Southern Lady Left $6000 and Packard Car To Colored Chauffeur SAVANNAH, Ga., April 21 — Mrs. Denmark of this city, died at her home a few days ago. Besides a number of other bequests, Mrs. Denmark left $6,000 and a Packard automobile to a colored man who had been her chauffer for several years.

Favors Education Of the Blacks By Members of Race (By Associated Negro Press) HAMPTON, Va., April 21—Professor W. T. B. Williams of Tuskegee Institute, in a recent speech delivered here had this to say of the public school system of the south and the part it was playing in the case of the race. "School authorities in the South are interested in colored public schools as they never have been before, and especially is that true where the school authorities are young, well-trained men themselves. Within the last five years the colored people have put into the building of improved rural schools—something over a half million dollars, while the public authorities and others have put in more than that amount. The masses of our folks are to be educated and trained by young men and young women like yourselves. The two and a quarter millions of Negroes in the South who cannot read and write must be educated by Negroes." FLAGSTAFF (By Reginald Jackson) Miss Naomi Talvron, sister of Miss Helen H. Vance, who has been visiting the latter, left this week for her home in Prescott. Miss Mary Craig left last week for Kansas City to visit her mother.

GLORIOUS UNUM General Wood Is Favorite Candidate Among College Men (Special to The Tribune) CHAMPAIGN, Ill., April 21—Last week the Grand Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, in session at Illinois University, re-elected Mr. Irvin Armstrong, A. B., of Indiana University, and a prominent citizen of Indianapolis, Grand Polemarch. Kappa Alpha Psi is one of the two nation Colored Greek letter fraternities among college men in the United States. A straw vote taken by E. M. Bacoyne and V. La Maier Hicks, of Illinois University, who were on the reception committee of Champaign which entertained General Wood, April 7th, showed the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity is 100 per cent for the general for president of the United States. Mr. Hicks was second lieutenant in Headquarters company, at Camp Funston, under General Wood, and long before the general announced his candidacy he showed his impartiality to race or creed thus: "There is only one color in the United States army and that color is "olive drab." So he advised the American soldiers at Camp Funston two years ago.

Abner Davis, Big Texas Operator Shows Speed and Control Does Something Never Done Before First time in history for one man to ship in one train drilling rigs, casing for wells, pipe line material, storage tanks, pumps and even a supply store beds and camp equipment—everything for producing and refining oil. This remarkable accomplishment within ten days shows almost the same genius for organization found in government movement in war times. THE DAVIS SYSTEM IN PECOS BIG AND STRONG This is the system and management that enables Abner Davis to virtually gain control of the Trans-Pecos oil country. The Abner Davis system of refinery provides for having a complete refinery ready to move to a new field the minute there, is oil in commercial quantity to supply. The Abner Davis system of drilling and oil production provides for having rigs and equipment with competent men ready to move at an hour's notice. The Abner Davis system of syndicating and financing is always ready for instant action by getting on the ground where big things are to be done and then promptly calling on the Abner Davis backers everywhere for the funds to carry forward the big developments. It is this system and preparedness to grasp opportunities at the psychological moment that enables the public to join with a great developer and organizer and reap the big profits to be had by those who get in on the ground floor of big enterprises. The Consolidated Syndicate, the last and most far-reaching of the Abner Davis organizations, offers the small investor that long looked for chance to win a thousand dollars for every one invested at the start. TELEGRAM Pecos, Texas, April 12. Abner Davis, Fort Worth. The Bell well after being on the pump day after day last week shows stronger than ever. Flowing and pumping 30 to 40 barrels an hour. Other wells going down fast. Abner Davis No. 1 spudded in today. Work started on refinery site. Santa Fe improving track and putting in switch. The Pecos field the millionaire maker and you are certainly in here strong. SADLER. OIL WELL EXPECTED TO PRODUCE WITHOUT PUMP Special to the Dallas News. PECOS, Texas, April 10—That the Bell well may develop into a flowing well instead of a pumper is the expectation of many who have watched the activities of the discovery well of the Pecos field on the pump during the last week. The well has been growing stronger each day and runs practically the same rate after the pump is stoped as it did on the beam. More gas was in evidence toward the latter part of the week. The well has steadily pumped its thirty-six barrels each hour when put on the pump and the pumping periods were lengthened into two and three hours twice each day during the latter part of the week. THE 1000 TO 1 SHOT FINALLY COMES MY WAY AT PECOS, THE 1000 TO 1 SHOT FINALLY As usual, it matters not how good the snap may be, my friends and backers are given the first opportunity. The principle and foundation upon which my success has been built will continue as the guiding principle for all time. WHEN DAME FORTUNE SMILES THERE IS A QUESTION ALWAYS AS TOWARD WHOM HER FANCY MIGHT BE DIRECTED. Then it has been said that Opportunity knocks once at every man's door and if the man falls to grasp this chance, Opportunity passes on and knocks no more. The man who waits for luck to strike and fill his pockets with a shower of gold usually finds holes in his pockets through which the coin disappears. I do not believe in "luck." The word is a creation of superstition, and superstition has held millions chained to poverty centuries untold. I would not question the smiling right of such a wonderful lady as Dame Fortune, nor have I ever failed to hear a knock, for fear it might come from Opportunity and Opportunity might pass me up. But of luck I cannot say much: I prefer to believe in work. If luck is that thing that by chance leads me to the place where Fortune smiles and Opportunity knocks, then I take off my hat to all three. For, as true as I speak to you, I have just found myself at the right place at the right time where Fortune smiled with all her gladdening soul and Opportunity knocks with unmistakable force. I also found myself in position to grasp the hand of Opportunity when outstretched through the open door and receive her bountiful riffs. All of the advertisements I have written in the past were but the breathing and beliefs, embellished with hope from of paper of my honest, sincere feelings an optimist by nature. So as I write these lines I may be pardoned from seemingly departing from ABNER DAVIS. ROPER'S RENEWED ROAD UNNERS It seems to be the spoken word of "Good Will" more than the advertising that has built up our Used Car business. This is possible when good light-weight cars are sold at low prices. PASSENGER CAR Ford Touring that is worth the money $300.00. REMEMBER A USED CAR IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE FIRM YOU DO BUSINESS WITH. R. D. ROPER MOTOR CO 211-15 North Central Ave. When is a wise man not a fool? cold business and using words of cheerfulness and quoting well rounded and smooth sounding phrases. But this is the mood in which I find myself after basking in the heaven kissed smiles of fortune upon the sweeping plains of the Pecos Valley, and viewing the gifts of nature to man, after being drawn to her outstretched arms by Opportunity's steady knocks and constant calls. Dead, indeed, would be the hopes and crushed the soul of a man who could not rise to an appreciation of Fortune's smiles and Opportunity's call when showered with Luck's stream of gold. My friends, seriously I believe that I have at last been drawn to the place and enabled to grasp the mightiest chance for wealth ever thrown in the path of any man. Arriving upon the scene in time I was able to buy for a song oil and mineral rights that have the making of fortunes beyond the imagination of the average man. I have worked early and late, and I have worked hard and long, always believing that the Law of Average is unfailing and that continuous and persistent effort in the oil business would repay for every effort, every hardship, every disappointment and every dollar invested. I am now, for the first time, in command of sufficient capital to handle the large transactions where a great quantity of leases could be had at low prices, just as a great development boom starts. If Ican raise new money to take over other vastly valuable holdings, I can make even much greater wealth for all who join with me. This is a new proposition, of course, new property is being acquired and new money is required to pay for it. The Abner Davis plan is a definite one, it is one of the fair, square dealing man to man. This plan has proven its merit by the success attained under the Abner Davis Trusteeship. The same old principle will hold good. Every man or woman will furnishes me a dollar, or a thousand dollars, will receive an exact and pro rata interest in all that their money will entitle them to receive, and will share accordingly in the results. HOW TO WIN PLAY THE OIL GAME WITH ME MAN TO MAN Study the Consolidated • Syndicate Plan. Join at the start where your dollars can grow big and fast and profits may mean a thousand to one. Join in at the start with the man who does things—who knows the game and will play fair and square. How to Win in Oil Put your money in on the ground floor basis. Get in at the start of a big enterprise. Buy leases and grow with the field. Scatter your holdings in line with future development. Bet on the man just as you would on a horse race or baseball game. It takes a man to win. Make up your mind to win—but also steady yourself for the jolt if you lose. Think for yourself. If you feel in your own heart you are right you do yourself untold harm to allow someone else to sway you from your own better impulses. Don't ask outsiders what to do, no one can give you better advice than your own inner feeling will point out to you. Action alone gets results. FEW DOLLARS—BIG INTEREST Now that I already have the money in hand or in sight to insure carrying out that they can be taken care of for a large interest with only a small cash payment with the other payments to be made monthly and with a further chance of having their profits applied toward paying out the big end of their subscriptions. LET PROFITS PAY You can take out a Consolidated Syndicate membership and receive a share of $1,000 on the following easy terms: You can pay $10 cash and $10 monthly until you have paid $100 in cash. You can pay $20 cash and $20 monthly until you pay $100, or you can pay the whole $100 cash and re-receive your full thousand dollar membership. You can then allow your profits to be applied on the payment of the balance of your $1,000 membership until it is paid up in full—then, of course, all profits on the whole thousand dollar share will be paid direct to you. The bonus of 5 acres on each $100 paid in, can only be given you on the money paid in during the first 90 days, because it will be impossible for me to secure the acreage with which to make good this bonus later, because prices are advancing so rapidly that it will be out of the question to get an acre anywhere near drilling operations even at $20 cash per acre. Listen: Here is the thing for you to Listen: Here is the thing for you to do— You can reserve your membership now. You can make a payment on same, $10, $20 or $100, then I will know how many members will be in the Consolidated Syndicate, and I can take advantage of my options and definite BIG OIL BOOM STRIKES PECOS, TEXAS; ABNER DAVIS IS ON GROUND Fort Worth, Texas, April 22.—Casing was ordered by Abner Davis to be shipped to Pecos immediately for the drilling of a well to the new sand found at the eighteen hundred foot depth. News from that field indicates that more than 150 new locations have been made since the discovery of the and will send $ .....more within 30 days. I am to share on a full pro-rata basis with all others and you are to look after my interest until otherwise instructed. I also want .....acres as a bonus, which you will make out in the name I am enclosing. TRUSTEE CONSOLIDATED SYNDICATE 812 Throckmorton St. Ft. Worth, Texas ly secure the acreage to cover the bonus of 1 acre for each $20 you are to pay in cash. This refinery will be operated under the Abner Davis System making our standard Pyramid Trends. One-half interest going to this Syndicate. This will give you the full membership—give you the full pro-rata interest in all the Consolidated Syndicate holdings and profits and in addition there to give you the 5-acre bous on each hundred dollars you agree to pay in cash, whether you pay all cash or take the easy terms. PRIVILEGES GIVEN OUT If you reserve the $1,000 Consolidated Syndicate membership and pay $100 cash you get 5-acre lease as a bonus. The same rule applies whether $200 cash or any other amount you get the acre bonus with each $20. If you take one or more of the $1,000 memberships and pay $100 cash on each, with the understanding the balance is to be paid up out of profits from the syndicate operations, and if later you prefer not to pay out the full amount, you can cancel your unpaid balance on each membership, take a paid-up membership certificate for the full amount of cash you have paid in and have your profits come direct to you instead of being applied to paying out the balance on your membership. In this way you are sure of a membership. You are sure of the bonus acreage and you can later decide whether to let your Consolidated Syndicate membership grow into the $1,000 value or take the profits yourself as they accrue. The object of this feature is to give you the largest possible opportunity at this time when a little money will go a long way toward getting big results, but giving you the big opportunity with the smallest possible cash outlay at the start. It is important to get the full membership quickly. It is important to get the largest number of acres possible under my present options and contracts to purchase while I can take advantage of the low price. It is important to get as much cash in hand promptly as can be had because it will enable us to lay the foundation and get work started on a big scale and it is my hope to make this the greatest strike because it offers by far the greatest opportunity, both in volume of possibilities and in return that may be expected. NOTICE The Consolidated Syndicate is a separate and definite syndicate that will be composed of those who become its members and the amount of money it will have to operate with depends upon the number of members who join. The amount of the property we will acquire also depends upon the amount of money that is furnished and this is the thing I am asking you to tell me now—HOW MUCH MONEY WILL YOU FURNISH? Join with me now or never if you want to get in on the ground floor at the very beginning of a great development campaign in the future great oil field of Texas. THE FINAL ABNER DAVIS SYNDICATE We have the Properties—We Have the Oil—We Have Refineries—We Have Gas—We Have Oil Have Money—We Will Win You are invited to put your money in with me and share in the results. Here are some of the big things you share in: Half interest in proven 20 acres Drilling Contract nearest the Bell discovery well. This is without doubt a sure shot for many good wells from the 650-foot Bell sand. This lease occupies the same relative position on the anti-cline as the Bell well. The oil from this lease alone should easily return all the money invested and also pay good dividends from month to month. Half interest in the Refinery and the land in fee that is being built adjoining the newirabell townsite near the Bell well. The Santa Fe railway runs through this property. The first unit of this refinery is all complete and ready to set up for operation under a contract to begin making gasoline within 30 days. The profits from this refinery at the source of the crude supply where there is a ready market for all the products at prices above the market should prove a big thing for all investors. This will be the only refinery for hundreds of miles in all directions and our products will command a big premium because of a saving in freight both on the crude and refined product.

Pollock in the federal court, instructed the local district attorney to draw a writ for the return of Robert L. Hill to Arkansas where he is wanted in the Arkansas federal PAGE THREE contract also on the Bell Anticline. Half interest in 80 acres in fee simple carrying the oil and mineral rights in the section adjoining the Citizens well tract which is a sure shot from the standpoint of location on the known structure. Half interest in 160 acres in fee simple also carrying the oil rights in the Zone well district which is regarded as an excellent location for big deep wells. Half interest in another tract of 1,000 acres also near drilling operations in Pecos county, regarded as immensely valuable for its potential oil possibilities. Half interest in certain other properties now under option, the details about which cannot be made public at this time. Half interest in the pipe line and oil gathering facilities to be established in the Pecos field. Half interest in a large block of checkerboarded leases in one of the greatest new oil fields in my judgment, that will be found in Texas. This lease is as yet, what must be classed as wild-cat territory. These properties are to be held to await development by other companies. Half interest in the contract for a supply of crude oil and the marketing arrangement. This contract should prove immensely prqfitable without any outlay whatever to us. In addition to all of these extremely valuable and large properties, I am prepared to lease outright, direct to each investor, one acre for each $20 furnished, or five acres for each $100, this acreage will be given in the form of a bonus and in addition to all the other interests in which each Syndicate member shares pro-rata. PLAN OF ORGANIZATION Fairness to All and Pro-Rata Sharing According to Investment According to Investment When you place your small investment through Abner Davis as trustee in the Consolidated Syndicate your money secures the largest possible representation. It goes in on the early ground floor basis when big holdings were acquired with little money and you share pro-rata accordingly in cheap leases, in higher priced acreage and deeded land and your money also begins active work in a constructive and productive way because you share in the refinery already under construction. You share in the drilling campaign already under way and in the enhanced values of all Consolidated Syndicate holdings. FIVE ACRES BONUS Then in addition to all of these benefits you receive outright a lease on 5 acres with each $100 your subscribe to the Consolidated Syndicate, this lease is in promising territory but of course away from present development. But the lease is all yours to do with as you please and it is the plan of the Syndicate to help in the development of its holdings which will enhance the value of your lease and perhaps prove its value or make you many thousands of dollars. The Consolidated Syndicate is separate and distinct from any other organization. The money invested by this Syndicate will be for the benefit of all its members on a fee profit-sharing basis. In order that no one may be confused the following details are given: The Almer Davis system of refineries known as the First National will own one-half interest in the refinery in the Peccos field. The Consolidated Syndicate will own the other half. ONE MANAGEMENT The Abner Davis Trustee plan will co-operate on a similar basis in the drilling campaign; in other words the whole Abner Davis man to man profit-sharing idea is one of co-operation. First the public co-operate in financing the different enterprises, then these different Abner Davis organizations co-operate with each other for mutual profit but at a very great reduction in overhead expenses because of the Abner Davis trusteeship being operated under one management. THE KIND OF A SYNDICATE YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A STOCKHOLDER IN BE A STOCKHOLDER IN When I tell you that truth is the foundation upon which my business has won its backers, ten thousand strong, I have no fear that anyone can discredit this statement. When I tell you that my business was founded upon merit, I point to the record of success. When I tell you that the Abner Davis organizations are being "operated on honor," I point you to the record and the results. And now, when I tell you to get in the game, play the Pecos field with me to win, I tell you what I believe to be the truth when I say the Consolidated Syndicate has the chance to win the thousand-to-one you have long waited for.

The machine is called "The Rhodes Economy Duster," and has been patented by the United States government. Its practicability and usefulness has been demonstrated in and around Augusta during the past several months, and the machine is pronounced by those who have seen it work to be the most wonderful thing yet patented to conquer the dreaded boll weevil. PHOENIX MAN LEAVES FOR PECOS PETROLEUM FIELDS Mr. J. J. Wade, of 1213 East Madison street, left this week for Pecos, Texas, where he has large oil holdings. The recent reports from that section are favorable and Mr. Wade feels that he is bound to be numbered among the Oil Kings of the Pecos field. Mrs. Wade stated that her husband became so excited over the oil boom in the Pecos section that he rushed off without his overcoat and boarded the first train to the new oil field. Mr. and Mrs. Wade purchased land in this section some time ago and are among the fortunate few to get in on the "ground floor." Their friends are rejoicing with them over this lucky strike.

Dr. Brooks is prominently for a Bishopric at the forthcoming general conference of the Pastor A. M. E. Church Raised $111,000 For Church in One Year (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21—At the one hundred and third annual conference of the Washington district Senator Winsor is not only the type of man—he is THE Man Arizona needs for Governor... He is THE man the Democratic party needs as its nominee. SENATOR WINSOR combines in a pre-eminent degree the qualities and qualifications which go to make a splendid executive. He is talented—educated—experienced—practical. He has vision—courage—determination—faith. He is fair—he is independent—he is a man of conviction, not of prejudice—he is a student. He is cool—calm—deliberate—well balanced. SENATOR WINSOR is a success. As a journalist he was one of Arizona's most brilliant and most fearless writers. As a publicist he has displayed unusual constructive ability. As an executive officer he has made good in every sense of the word. As a business man and farmer he has displayed his usual capacity. As Governor he will prove a complete success. SENATOR WINSOR is not and has never been an office-seeker, but he is seasoned in public affairs and experience. He was the first Arizona Historian; a delegate to the Constitutional Convention; first chairman of the State Land Commission; and is now in his second term as State Senator. He has served with distinguished ability in every position to which he has been called. There is not a blot upon his record. SENATOR WINSOR knows his Arizona. He has resided in this State twenty-eight years, and is familiar with its every trail. He is acquainted with every county and every section—knows their conditions, their industries, their resources, their possibilities and their needs. SENATOR WINSOR will so exercise his influence as Governor as to develop the State, construct highways, reclaim the arid lands, open the mines, attract investors, and with it all, to make a happy, prosperous and contented people. SENATOR WINSOR stands on a platform of ringing Americanism, of pure and undefiled patriotism, of unadulterated Democracy, of genuine progressivism. He is the sort of man whose platform says what it means and means what is says, and will regard it, after election, as a sacred covenant. SENATOR WINSOR possesses the entire confidence of the people of his home county. This is the testimony of his neighbors and friends, who know him—who know his standing, his ability, his energy, his honesty, his unselfishness, his devotion to duty, his steadfastness—who know that the people of Yuma county are for him and behind him, irrespective of whether they are business people, working people, professional people, farmers, merchants, artisans or mechanics.

Anne Bayles First CARS Bargains be- ion, as we --- Announcement We wish to announce to our friends and customers that beginning Friday, April 16th, we will operate our grocery department on a cash and carry system. The management of the store has always believed in personal service and delivery, but conditions have changed and we believe it is our duty as well as to our interest to give those who want to save, and wait on themselves an opportunity to benefit by the lowest prices. We will still maintain a service department for the benefit of those who wish service and delivery. We will make a minimum charge of 25c for all deliveries inside the city limits. Our fruit and vegetable, bakery, cigars, tobacco and fresh meat departments will still be operated as service stores. Our mail order department will take care of all mail orders and out of town shipments. We must insist that cash accompany all orders or they will not receive attention. Farmers and poultrymen, we want your fresh eggs and dairy butter. Highest cash price. We want to thank the public for their past patronage in helping us accomplish what we have and it will always be our earnest endeavor in the future to make you feel that our store is your store and to give you the BEST goods at the lowest prices.
