THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. THE A. M. E. CONFERENCE The Twenty-ninth Annual Session at Omaha Last Week, Was the Best in the History of This Commendable Organization. Bishop Grant Won the Admiration of all. The Twenty-ninth annual session of the Kansas-Nebraska A. M. E. Conference, convened in Omaha Wednesday of last week at Saint John's A. M. E. church, corner of Sixteenth and Webster streets, Bishop Grant presiding. This was the largest session ever witnessed since the organization of the conference, and the reports of the presiding elders from the various districts show a wonderful increase in membership and the financial condition of the churches. Bishop Grant has endeared himself in the hearts of the members of the conference, and also those whose pleasure it was to meet him, and during the conference he added forty members to that church. The dollar money reports of the several ministers exceeded any collection ever made. A fine lot of ministers were present, and discussions for the upbuilding of the church and for promoting Christianity were ardent. They met to do business, and they did not meet in vain. The ministers all looked prosperous and happy and showed that they were sacrificing time and money to build up their churches and uplift fallen humanity. The people of Kansas and Nebraska can well be proud of the ministers of the A.M. E. church. The money that was donated for the upbuilding of the churches has been well expended by these Christian gentlemen, and used for the purpose for which it was given as was shown by their reports. several of the churches are now out of debt, others nearly so. Several changes were made among the ministers who had here-to-fore been holding small charges, they being moved to better fields, having shown their ability for building up the waste places, the Bishop deemed it proper that they be given better charges. Presiding Elders Braxton, Ransom and Griffith will hold their respective positions as long as they continue to keep the work up as they are now doing. These gentlemen are undoubtedly doing an excellent work in the districts over which they are presiding. There has previously been a rule of changing presiding elders after a few years, but the Bishop has somewhat amended this rule by keeping them in office as long as they continue to carry on the work in a Christian-like manner. So far, everything has been satisfactory to all concerned. The money paid in to the mission fund is well expended and no one need ever regret the money given to this department. We were surprised to note the amount of money that has been paid out to superanuated ministers, also to the wives and orphans of deceased ministers in this connection. They also made contributions to the ministers, having small charges and are sacrificing time for the building up of these small churches and missions, where there is a constant struggle for existence. Some, we repeat have scarcely enough to eat, still they struggle and manage to come to conference each year and make their report, and where they show an improvement, the Bishop sends them to other fields, placing new ministers to take up the work where they left off. The financial report in all departments exceeds that of other years and shows that the A. M. E. church is one of the greatest organizations among Negroes of this country. THE PLAINDEALER hopes for a continuance of their prosperity, and that the conference will later take a strong stand on the state and condition of affairs in this country, especially that of our race who are oppressed in the Southland. Shaffer, who desired to go to Indianapolis in order that he and his family might be close to his parents, who are now in declining years. The people of the church in Omaha expressed strong regrets at the departure of Rev. Shaffer. Resolutions were also passed by the conference which caused some emotion, on the transfer of Rev. F. G. Barr, who was transferred to Spokane, Washington, Territory. The Bishop said that he wanted strong men like Rev. Barr to build up the church in that part of the country. One thing we noticed in particular and that was the usual displeasure that attends the reading of appointments at the annual conference. At this time every one seemed perfectly satisfied, and by 12 o'clock the appointments were made; the benediction announced and all of the people on their way to their respective homes. Conference will convene in Kansas City next year. Following are the appointments as announced by Bishop Grant: OMAHA DISTRICT. Omaha district, J. W. Braxton, presiding elder; Omaha, J. W.

The calling to order of the final session was delayed for twenty minutes, owing to a painful fall sustained by Bishop Grant on his way from the parsonage to the church. A defective sidewalk threw him heavily, and a nasty cut was inflicted on his knee. When the injured member had been bandaged, Bishop Grant took charge of the meeting. Rev. J. P. Howard, of Emporia was appointed evangelist for the Korean Nabhube conference, and TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 30, 1904. OMAHA'S The Plaindealer Manager Gazes Upon the Prosperous Nebraskans. Several Tepehana are Comfortably Situated and are Conducting Paying Business Enterprises. Rev. J. R. Ransom made the largest report in the P. E. District. The Conference appropriated one hundred and fifty dollars to pay on a balance of six hundred dollars, due on the Bishops residence at Kansas City, Kans. Rev. J. C. C. Owens, one of the strongest ministers in the West, and wife were present at the Conference. They are both loved by everybody, and are a great help to the A. M, E. Church. While in Owing annual pleasure of peka young men during the strife played at pack salaries at from per day. All well and have change, and we ed to note the keeping th While in Omaha last week attending annual conference, we had the pleasure of meeting several Topeka young men who went to Omaha during the strike, and are now employed at packing houses receiving salaries at from two to four dollars per day. All of them are looking well and have considerable pocket change, and we are especially pleased to note the fact that they are keeping up their reputation, We also met some old Topekans who are now in business, one of whom is Tibb Starnes. He and his wife are running the Newport Restaurant and lunch room at 1315 Dodge, and are doing a good business. Mrs. Starnes is one of the best business women we know in the West. She attends to businasa carefully and sees that all their patrons are well served. They serve first class meals and short orders as well. Any one going to Omaha should not fail to call at their place of business. Mrs. J. D. Jones and children of Wayside, Kans. formerly of Topeka, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Robt. Starnes of S. Omaha. While Tibb Starnes is conducting a restaurant in Omaha, his brother Robert is running a first class eating house in S. Omaha at Twenty-sixth and U. Streets, under the viaduct. Mr. and Mrs. Starnes are formerly of Topeka, having moved to Omaha during the past two years and we are certainly glad to note their prosperity. Mrs. Della Hubbard, formerly Miss Cannon, who resides at 805 Pacific St., Omaha expects to visit Topeka during the holidays. One of her friends will accompany her should she make this trip. While in Omaha, we had the pleasure of dining with Mr. and Mrs. Julia Banks. They are well and enjoying life and also aucumulating some of Omaha's wealth. Mr. Banks works at the barbe, trade, and is said to be one of the finest Tonsorial Artists found in Omaha. Their son, Earnest, recently received injuries in the packing house, but will soon be out again. He, like his father, is very industrious and we predict great things for him in the future. We met Prof. W. J. Johnson and wife who are enjoying good health. Prof. Johnson is now organizing a Co-operative Building Association among the colored people of Omaha and from what we saw of the plans and the outlines of the constitution and by-laws, it is one of the best things for the establishment of homes for Negroes we have seen. They will apply for Charter soon and we think they will have no trouble in getting it through. We are sorry to hear of the serious illness of Mrs. T. P. Mohammet, who recently had an operation performed at the Hospital. Her sister of Michigan has been with her for some time and will no doubt remain until she fully recovers. We saw our friend Tom, who looks well and prosperous. NOTICE TO THE CHURCHES. To the Churches of the Central Missionary Baptist Association of Kansas: DEAR BRETHREN:—We have not as yet obtained a place to hold our quarterly meeting of the Ministers and Deacons' Union for November. We would like to hold four meetings as follows: 1—Nov. 2, 3 and 4; 2—Nov. 9, 10 and 11; 3—Nov. 16, 17 and 18; 4—Nov. 23, 24 and 25. time and will she fully receive Tom, prosperous. Among the Fred L. Smith is enjoying a that city. A Carolinian, J, and surgeon, city about four said to be work. It is said the one of Omaha ladies. We are here Among the friends we met at Hon. Fred L. Smith, Atty. at Law, who is enjoying a lucrative practice in that city. Also met an old South Carolinian, J. H. Hutton, physician and surgeon, who located in that city about four years ago and is now said to be worth ten thousand dollars. It is said the Doctor will soon wed one of Omaha's accomplished young ladies. We are happy to announce to the many friends of F. T. Thompson, one of Topeka's young men, who located in Omaha a few years ago, his success since he has been in that city. He is now head coach of Hon. Thos. Glover of Wichita was a lay delegate to the Annual Conference and was one of the first put on a committee at Conference. This will be of great interest to the laity, and no doubt more of them will attend in the future. Mr. Glover did some excellent work on committee. The report of the Committee on Sunday-school work showed a little falling off in attendance. It is hoped more attention will be paid to this department. Several of the ministers wives were present at this session of Conference as most of them are members of the Woman's Aid Society, an auxiliary of the Conference, which does much work in the connection toward the support of ministers. Those present were Mesdames Wooten, Braxton, Ward, Terril, and Widow Glover. Rev. W. T. Biggers and Dr. Shaffer are to be commended for the way they entertained the Conference and the ample preparation made for the hospital provision made for the ministers and their wives. On Saturday evening the Conference accepted an invitation from W. T. Biggers and Church to a dinner in South Omaha. The party boarded a trolley car, and in due time arrived at the place where a wholesome dinner was served by the members of the church. Rev. Biggers is editor of the "Christian Wayfarer" a church paper published in South Omaha. He was transferred to Lincoln where he will continue the good work. Rev. H, B. Parks, editor of "The Voice of Missions", and secretary of the Mission Fund, was present at this session, and was of great assistance to the Conference as he comes from the west and was perfectly at home among them. No doubt he will have the entire support of the Western Conferences for Bishop at the next general Conference. He is a strong able man, one that is full of business. Rev. B. F. Watson, Financial Secretary of the Connection attended the Conference one day, but had to leave for the Illinois Conference. THEPLAINDEALER was awarded the contract for printing the minutes of this session. The Bishop spoke in terms of praise of the paper, and we hope other conferences will follow their example, especially those of Missouri and give their work to colored papers. Rev. L. H. Terril of Atchison, is one of the strongest ministers of the Conference and his services are always in demand. We expect to see him way up in the councils of the A. M. E. Church. Rev. W. B. Brooks of Kansas City, who is assigned to Lawrence, was secretary at the Conference, this being his second term to act in this capacity. Showing that he has made a capable official, he promises to have the minutes in hands of the printers within the next fifteen days. Lake Manawa and has charge of forty waiters. He renders such excellent service to his employers that they have engaged him for five years. During the winter, he has charge of hotel work in the city. His wife, also of Topeka, is doing much to keep up the dignity and social functions of Omaha. He has accumulated wealth while there, which his bank account readily shows. G.C. Tucker one of our old and respected citizens is conducting a first-class barbershop at 1313 Dodge Street, where you can get excellent services. He has the best trade of the city, and his shop is always crowded, for the reason that he employs none but best barbers and people know where to get good work. Mr. Tucker stands high in the council of several secret organizations. Mrs. Mayme Richardson is residing with Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Merrit. Miss Cora Merritt, their neice, of Topeka, is visiting them. We dined at their home last Sunday and was rightly entertained. On last Monday evening at Washington Hall, Prof. W. T. Vernon, speaker under the auspices of the Republican National Committee, delivered one of the strongest speeches ever heard in Omaha, as conceded by those present. He discussed the issue of the campaign, and proved conclusively by his argument that the Democratic party were nothing but falsity and promises. The audience sat spellbound for one hour and a half and listened attentively to the words of wisdom that fell from his lips. The Prof. is one of the strongest debaters in this country. Among the prominent men who adorned the platform was Jno. R. Lynch, Paymaster of U. S Army Department of Missouri. He is the first colored man holding this position, and we think it is commendable to the race. Lawyer Smith was chairman, and the music furnished by the Desdune's Orchestra, was the finest we ever heard. At the conclusion of the Professor's address the people, in a body, rushed to the platform, and anxiously awaited an opportunity to extend to him congratuiations on the courageous and manly way he handled the subject and assured him that Omaha people would always reserve a warm spot in their hearts for him. Right here we wish to mention the firm of Crutchfield and Broomfield, two young men of Omaha who are reputed to be worth twenty-five thousand dollars. They conduct a Club Room and Cafe in that city, and are certainly "The Cyclone Wonders of the West." Johnnie Wright is well, and growing richer every day. He is now making extensive improvements on his residence in Omaha. We met our friend Al Jones of Atchison who conducts a Waiters Club; he is the same hale and jolly fellow and is getting along nicely. We also met E. J. Scott who is employed in a first class Drug Store operating the soda fountain. Mr. Scott has increased in size since leaving Topeka and looks like a prince. He is married and settled down to business and is saving money. Omaha should be proud of their new minister, J. W. Wilson, one of the best ministers in the conference, he having been an ardent church worker for a number of years. The Rev. has been a widower for nearly two years. One of the most amusing things that occurred, was when the Bishop read the appointments, and came to Omaha church. He asked Rev. Wilson how long it would be before he could get another wife. He insisted that as soon as two years of mourning for his late wife were up, he would set about getting another. So we will advise the ladies of Kansas to be in readiness for the Rev. will soon be a candidate for matrimony, and they need not be bashful in making application, and trying to gain advantage over other for information. THAT BUSINESS LEAGUE I arrived in Indianapolis on Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 30, and comfortably located at the residence of Capt Jas. Thomas, late of the Forty-eighth Infantry, U. S. After dinner we visited members of the executive committee and put in Topeka's claim for the sixth annual session of the National Negro Business League in 1905. Wednesday, Aug. 31, we arose at 5 o'clock a.m. By 6:15 we were at Tomlinson hall arranging our photographic exhibits. We had one-hundred fifteen pictures. They were arranged conspicuously on two large frames and, over each, was printed in large letters, Topeka, Kansas. We placed a card over each individual picture, telling in large writing, what the photograph, represented. After arranging our exhibit we were ready for business. We had 1000 cards which the Adam Brothers donated the local League. On the back of these was printed, "Meet me in Topeka in 1905." This scheme was suggested by Prof. Carter of the Industrial Institute. After each delegate registered, we gave him a badge, a Topeka Negro Business Directory, our business card and put in our talk for Topeka. We formed the acquaintance of men from all parts of the country, and advertised Topeka very much. The league was composed of men representing every branch of business and industry and worth from $1000 to $200,000,000. A more representative and respectable body of Negroes has never assembled. There was no wrangling over parliamentary rules; no pompous display of self-conceited men: no display of jealousy. Every one was on his merit. Each one seemed anxious to do his part well, and contributed his share toward making the League a success. "Manufacturing Household Articles," by S. R. Scottion of Brooklyn, N. Y. "Meeting the Realty needs of the New York Negro" by P. A. Payton, Jr. of New York, N. Y. "Undertaking" by W, O. Emery of Macon, Ga. and James C. Thomas of New York, N. Y. "Producing white potatoes on a large scale" by J. G. Groves, Edwardsville, Kans. Last year Mr. Groves raised 175 car loads of potatoes. "The growth of the Banking Idea" by S. H. Hait of Jacksonville, Fla., and W. E Mollison of Vicksburg, Miss, was very interesting and instructive. This subject was discussed at length by the house. In order to close the discussion, ires. Washington decided to allow only those connected with some banking institution to talk. After the time for discussion was up, at least five men were allowed to talk five minutes each because they represented a bank. It was quite a joke on the chair. "The Law and Business" was ably discussed by W. H. Lewis of Boston, Mass. "Building a Street Railway Line" by R. R. Robinson, of Jacksonville, Fla., was something new very rare. The state law of Florida makes it possible for the conductor to unseat Negroes for the accommodation of whites. This was so obious to the Negroes of Jacksonville, that a meeting was called to consider organizing an automobile company to carry Negroes. Mr. Robinson and some of his friends refused to attend this meeting, and asked the city council for a franchise to build a street railway. The council having no faith in the scheme, granted them a franchise to clear their hands. The road was built and the first three months the net profits were $3000. They have a NUMBER 39. Mr. Ira O. Guy Writes an Interesting Review of the Meeting of the Afro-American Business League Topeka Ranked First in the Picture Display Will Meet in Topeka in '06. four miles electric line, with a franchise for nine miles more. "Moving of Houses and Heavy Machinery" by Chas. Webb of Indianapolis, Ind. "Plumbing and Heating Contracting" by Troy Porter of Pans, Ill. "Merchant Tailoring" by C. M. Howell of Atlanta, Ga. and E. I. Masterson of Louisville, Ky. were interesting. A. C. Howard, of Chicago, Ill., was until several years ago a boot black. Now he is the proprietor of a shoe polish establishment. He followed Mr. Washington's advice, "Produce what the other man wants." Warren Logan, treasurer of The Tuskegee Industrial Institute read a paper on "Building an Industrial Community." It was one of the most interesting and thoughtful papers read. Booker T. Washington is an ideal chairman. In despatching business he is a Thos. B. Reed. He is fair and considerate. There was not one expression of dissatisfaction by any one. His popularity is wonderful. There were 7000 present to hear his annual address. Except for the repeated outbursts of applause, the audience was held as by magic. Among the distinguished officers and members were Hon. Geo. L. Knox of Indianapolis, J. E. Bush of Arkansas, Chas. Banks of Mississippi, Emmet J. Scott of Alabama, Fred R. Moore of New York, S. Laing Williams of Illinois, T. Thomas Fortune of New York, Dr. S. E. Courtney of Massachusetts, Dr. S. A. Furnias of Indians, J. C. Napier of Tennessee, M. M. Lervey of Florida, and Mrs. F. B. William of Illinois, Rt. Bishops B. W. Arnett and Grant became life members. Indianapolis stands second to none in her manner of entertaining her guests. No pains or expense was spared to make all comfortable. Mr. Knox, Dr. Furniss and Mr. Keisey deserve great praise. We are very much indebted to Miss Daneva Donnell for her interest in Topeka's exhibit. Her spare time was spent in showing her numerous friends our display and in booming Topeka. We were heartily received also by Mr. Donnell, Mrs. Cable and Dr. Wataon. The local League of Indianapolis tendered the visitors a banquet on Friday. We feel safe in saying that few of the 500 who ate have ever enjoyed anything better. The next meeting will be held in New York, N. Y. The New York delegation has been working for the meeting for two years and has been represented every year since the organization of the National League, She had a large delegation this year and three eastern men on the Executive committee. It was our plan to advertise Topeka and bring enough influence to bear on the Executive committee to secure the selection of Topeka. The committee felt, however, that the next meeting should be held in New York, mainly on account of the stimulus that would be given to Negro banks, seven of which have been organized since the organization of the National League. Had the election of the next place of meeting been left to popular vote Topeka would have been the choice for 1905. We are promised the first chance for 1906. We cannot get it however, by sitting down until that time comes and then going to work. We must keep on from the present. We have the promise, already, of six who will attend the next meeting in New York. Topeka must send a carload next summer. We are promised the support of several delegations if we carry a delegation ourselves. As secretary of the local League, we have begun communication at once with men in various sections of the country. We will advise constantly with the President and Executive committee of the Local League as to the best course to follow. If the League keeps up the interest she has at present, we cannot fail to land the 1906 meeting. IRA O. Guy, Seey. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. c AY =a wets 6 awe. ALBERT ROSS, Editor and Manager. Orrter 909 N. Sian Steve. At this time of the year you will see the ant busy storing away its eatables fer winter; you will see the squirrel laying aside nuts for the cold weather; you will find the bee, the bug and many other insects busy getting ready to undergo the severe tests of freezing weather. The thoughtful Negro should be doing likewise. During there = autumn days the Negro should be doing likewise. During these’ cool autumn days the Negro should be making his apple but- ter, his grape and plum jelly, his peach preserves, his pickles and sour kraut. He should be bdury- ing his cabbage and turnips, can- ning and pickling his tomatoes, laying aside a few squash, pota- toes and sweet potatoes in his cellar and gradually filling his coal bin. The Negro is always preparing to die, but seldom pre- paring to live—especially through the winter. Life is what we our- selves make it. ‘*Every manis the architect of his own fortune.”’ Putting off an easy thing makes it hard, and putting off ahard onegenerally makes it impossible. By a little foresight and prepar- ation the Negro can make the raw winter days a source of pleasure, profit and peace of mind, and yet have plenty of warm food and raiment for his children attending school, his wife and himself as well. While the various nations of the world are deriving beneiit fromthe Russian-Japancse wat in learning pointers about the belligerents, what can the Amer- ican Negro learn from this wat in which a dark race is succes>- fully contending against the hith-. erto self-esteemed invincible Russian horde. The first thins proven is that might does not make right. Ut is not so much the numbers as it is the skill, the strategy, the dare-devil cager- ness of the Japs to die, in orde; to make life better for their pos terity that is causing victory tc come their way. Eight succes. sive times the Japanese infantry advanced and hurled themselve upon the bayonets of the Rus sian trenches, and erght succes: sive times their ranks were mow ed down by the opposing gunner: but still they closed up the gap and pressed onward. This i only one instance where the te nacity, the persistence and th do or die spirit caused the Rus sian ranks to weaken and giv. way before the continued on slaughts of a wronged but deter mined people.

Sheis improving nicely Mrs, Charley Miller has re turned from Chicago where she has been visiting for some time DUTY. ce NT wevee wwe seuen, Senue puree old word duty, for it 1s one of the grandest words in the English lan guage. England expects every mai todo his duty. That was what Lor¢ Nelson signaled to all the battleship: of his fleet at the battle of Trafalgar. May war cease; but if there must be war, duty is the watch-word that is rivaled only by courage, Nelsor lost his life in that battle, but duty won the victory. Duty begins in the home where there isa duty whic the children owe to their parents on the one hand and the duty which parents owes onthe otner, There are im like manner, the respective duties of husbands and wves, o} masters and servants, while outside ofthe home there are the duties which men and women one to each other as friends and neighbors, as employess and employed, as govern- orsand governed, “Render, there for,” says St Paul, “to all, their dues; tribute to whom tribute is aue; honor to whom honor is due. Owe nc man anything, but love one an. other, for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law, Thus duty rounds the whole of life, from our entrance into it, until our exit from it—duty to superiors, duty to infer. fors, and duty to equals—duty to man and God. Wherever there is power to use or direct, there is duty. We are but like etewards appoint- ed to employ the aieans intrusted fo us for own and for others gond. The abiding eense of duty is the very crown of character. It is the up holding lav of manin his highest attitudes. Without it, the individ. ual totters and falls before the firat puff of adversity or temptation whereas, inspired by it, the weak: est becomes strorg and full of cour- age. “Daty,” says Mrs. Jameson, “i the cement which binds the whole moral edifice together, without which, all power, goodness, intellect, truth, happiness, love itself, can have no permance; but all the fabric of existence crumbles away from under ue, and leaves us at last sitting in the mist of rnin. astonished at our Lorn desolation. | Duty is based upon a sense o justice inspired by love, which is the most pertect form of gooduess. Du: ty is pot a sentiment, but a principal | pervading the life and exhibits itsel jin conduct andin acts, which arc mainly determined by man’s con science and free will, The voice o conscience speaks in duty done, anc without its regulatings and control ing influence, the brightest and greatest intellect may be merely as a light that leads astray, Con scieuce sets a man upon his feet while his will holds him upright It is the moral governor of the heart the governor of right action, of righ thought, of right faith, of right life and only can the aoble and uprigh character be fully developsd anc made to shine upon others: througt its dominating influence. The con science however may epeak ever s loudly but without energetic will i free to choose between tne right anc lof course, the wrong one, but the choice is nothing unless followed by immediate and decisive action. If the sense of duty be strong an the course of action clear, the cour ageous will, upheld by the con science, enables a man to proceec on his cours bravely and to accom plish his purposes in the face of a! oppositions and difficulty, An should failure be the issue there wil remain at leait this satisfaction, ths it has been in the cause of duty. | Mrs. M.

BD LITTLE INTHE LIST WILL Gabaron FOR ROOSE- VELT ANDI HOCH. The fusion campaign managers in : Kansas have reason to be discouraged | over the outlook. One of thelr rays. of hope was a split in the Republican ranks, This has failed to materialize. On the other hand the Republicans are ning up solidiy for the ticket. An- other ray of hope was that the dou sle- headed demopop electoral ticket ‘would enable them to hold the fusion voters in Iine for the Democratiz state tleket. This has gone glimmer- ing. Former Democrats and Populists are deserting the fusion ranks ilke rats from a sinking ship. The deve tion Is not confined te any particular locality; it is general throughout the state, Col. Ed ©. Little, of Abilene, private secretary to Governor Leedy, and oue of the strongest fusion campaiguers of the two Bryan campalgus, will take the stump for Rooseveit and Hoch. Joun Madden, of Emporla, who can for congress on the fusion ticket in the Fourth district, and who was Imown as the most flowery >rator in the fusion ranks, marched In the Re publican parade at Marion. Chris Ritter, of Iola, leader of the | Populists cf the Second congressional istrict in its palmy days, says te Republicans can command him to render any services within his power. Lee Jobnson, state labor commis stoner, who helped to conduct two fusion campaigns in the state, says Lo {s a Roosevelt Republican. ‘The Councit Grove Guard, and .he Eakridge Star, have changed to Re publican papers. The .Jmith County Messenger, pop, whose editor {s a Watson presidential elector, says be- twoen Roosevelt Republicanism and Parker Democracy it favors Roose velt Republicanistn. | Editor E. F, Heisler of the Kansas | City, Kas., Sun, Populist, says Roose velt will carry Kansas by 10,000, Henrw W. Young, of Independence, editor of the Times, Pop, and Popte hist state senator for four years, says: “It seams to me that the Kepubll cans who are claiming 50,000 majority for Roosevelt in this state are alto gether too modest. With the oppost tion yoting sixteen ways for Sunday they might safely double that. It looks to me as if the 82,000 record for Har rison, Humphrey and _protecticn would look sick after the votes are counted this fall.” The Manhattan Mercury, Democrat fc, in bolting the national Democratl: ticket says’ “Should Parker be elect ed the handful of gold standard Dem cerats are entitled to the federal pat ronage, and the Mercury would mak no sacrifice of principles to obtat the perquis’ es cf agold standard vic tory. The Mercury will not get Int | the gold staadard democratic ban wagon. We repudiate the St. Loul | platform znd the candidates nominat | ed upon that platform. | N.D.

POtary OF ‘state Says ina Circutar, There is gnashny of ‘cath and tear- nig of hair at the Dempe-atle rtate headquarters over s circuiar beng sent out by the Populist state commtt- tee attacking Judga Parker, the Dem- ccratic nominee for present, Chalre man Sapp $s farioas. What maxes ‘the case so aggravated is that the | circular {s signed by John Curran, Democratic nominee for secretary of state and chairman of the Democratic speakers’ bureau. Curran [s also sec- retary of the Populist state committce, ‘The attack on Parker follows: “And every consideration that would prevent a true reformer from support- ing the Republican party applies with equal force against the support of Parker and Davis. Cleveland Demo cracy nationally is In the saddle. Be tween this Democracy and the Repno- lican party there is no issue but (he ple counter. The men in chief com- mand in the Democratic party nation- ally today are men who either op posed Bryan in two campaigns oF supported him in a haifhearted way, We do not see how ny man, Demo- | erat or Populist, who sincerely fob | lowed the banner of Bryan in two I hard fought battles agaiust plutocca- ey can now support plutocracy under ; the Parker Davis banner. The oniy | thing teft tor men who propose to ' vote for priiciple, and not simply to | help a few hungry Cleveland federal office seehing Democrats to the pie counter, is to vote and work for Tom Watson. You will do well to cousider alsa the fact that your vote for Parker ‘would accomplish nothing, as all :o2- cede the state to Roosevelt. Why net then, rebuke Cleveland Democracy and give emphatic indorsement to true reform principles? W 3. BABB, Chairman, J. H.
