HISTORICAL SOCIETY OPEKA PLAINDEALER Historical Society State House man. Rev. J. A. Binghaman of Zion Bapt It is undoubted that the Republicans tlist Church has been on the sick list, EXTRACT FROM MR. TAFT'S SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE. "The Republican platform refers to those amendments to the Constitution that were passed by the Republican Party for the protection of the Negro. The Negro in the forty years since he was freed from slavery, has made remarkable progress. He is becoming more and more valuable member of the communities in which he lives. The education of the Negro is being expanded and improved in every way. The best men of both Races, at the North as well as at the South, ought to rejoice to see growing up among the Southern people an influential element disposed to encourage the Negro in his hard struggle for industrial independence and assured political status. The Republican platform, adopted at Chicago, explicitly demands justice for all men without regard to race or color, and just as explicitly declares for the enforcement, and without reservations, in letter and spirit, of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. It is needless to state that I stand with my party squarely on that plank in the platform and believe that equal justice to all men and the fair and impartial enforcement of these amendments are in keeping with the real American spirit of fair play." REPUBLICAN SENTIMENTS The Republican Party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the American Negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his noworthy progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to Race or color; we declare once more, and without reservation, for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, which were designed for protection and advancement of the Negro, and we condemn all devices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land."—From Republican platform adopted at National Convention, 1908. THE NEGROES—WE SHOT THEM; WE KILLED THEM; WE STUFFED BALLOT BOXES." (Extract from speech of Hon. B. L. Tillman of South Carolina, printed in bound Congressional Record, 59th Congress, 2nd Session, page 1410.) We reorganized the Democratic Party with one plank, and only one plank, namely, that "this is a white man's country and white men must govern it." Under that banner we want to battle." Clashes came. The Negro militia grew unbearable and more and more insolent. I am not speaking of what I have read; I am speaking of what I know, of what I saw. There were tow militia companies in my township and a regiment in my county. We had clashes with these Negro militiamen. The Hamburg riot was one clash, in which seven Negroes and one white man were killed. A month later we had the Ellenton riot, in which no one ever knew how many Negroes were killed, but there were forty or fifty or a hundred. It was a fight between barbarism and civilization, be tween the African and the Caucasian, for mastery. It was then that "we shot them;" it was then that "we killed them;" it was then that "we stuffed the ballot boxes." After the troops came and told us, "You must stop this rioting," we had decided to take the government away from men so debased as were the Negroes—I will not say baboons; I never have called them baboons; I believe they are men, but some of them are so near akin to the monkey that scientists are yet looking for the missing link. We saw the evil of giving the ballot to creatures of this kind and saying that one vote shall count regardless of the man behind the vote and whether that vote would kill mine. So we thought we would let you see that it took something else besides having the shape of a man to make a man. 11 TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER. 9, 1968. will assume all responsibilities for the condition in the South at that time. They have never shirked it. The Senator from Wisconsin acknowledged his participation in it the other day. He has no apology to make for it. I do not ask anybody to apologize for it; I am justifying our own action. I want to say now that we have not shot any Negroes in South Carolina on account of politics since 1870. We have not found it necessary. Eighteen hundred and seventy-six happened to be the hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and the action of the white men of South Carolina in taking the State away from the negroes we regard as a second declaration of independence by the Caucasian from African barbarism. If the white men of South Carolina had been content to obey the laws which had been forced down our threats at the point of the bayonet and submit to the reconstruction acts which had thrust the ballot into the hands of ignorant and debased Negroes, slaves five years before, and only two or three generations removed from the barbarians of Africa, the State of South Carolina today would be a howling wilderness, a second Santo Domingo. It took the State fifteen years to recover from and begin to move forward again along the paths of development and progress; and the consequence of the white men interpreting the word "liberty" to mean the liberty of the white people and not the license of black ones, the State is today in the very vanguard of Southern progress, and can point to the result as the absolute justification for every act which we performed in '70. SPRINGFIELD. Mesdames Mammie Pulbright and Anna Stevens were quite successful in their entertainment in raising money for the Rally. One of the most delightful affairs of the week was enjoyed at the beautiful, modern home of Mrs. Queen Haywood. Houses from 2 to 5. The house was lovely with fall flowers.

Vernon, Registrar of the Treasury, will speak at Washington Hall Oct. 12th, under the auspices of the Lincoln colored Republican Club. Prof. Vernon's trip here will mean much for the Republican Party among the Negro voters of Omaha. The President of the Club, Mr. Jno.

He was a graduate of Topeka High school and of Washburn college and was reading law, looking forward to the day when he should enter Yale college, for which preparations were being made. He was industrious from his cradle and always worked during vacation spending his earnings only for what he needed, and always adding a part to his bank account. He was employed for some time in a grocery, and so satisfactory was his work that his employers hated to give him up. He was a conscientous, Christian gentleman being a member of St. Simon's Episcopal Mission, a lay reader, a member of the choir, and was buried in the surplice worn by him in the church service His funeral was held from the family residence Monday morning, Father H. B. Brown officiating. He eulogized the useful life that had been brought to so sad a close. A few beautiful hymns were sung, by the choir, some of which were his favorites. His body lay in state Sunday and was closed to the public at seven o'clock that evening. His casket was one of fine, steel gray plush, furnished by Stonestreet and Hamilton. The body was placed in a private vault in the Topeka cemetery, where it will remain a few months before being placed in the family plot. The Y. M. C. A., of which he was a member were dutiful in their attentions to the young man during his illness. There was a profusion of flowers upon the casket from friends of him self and family in Chicago, Kansas City and Salina. His grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Hines of Salina his aunt, Miss Clara Hines, Salina, and his uncle, R. J. Hines of Chicago, attended the funeral. His aunt, who teaches in a government school in South Dakota, and his uncle in Colorado Springs could not be present. His many friends join with the family in mourning their loss His life was pure and undefiled, and none of the sins of this world had conquered him; hence he had none to purge away. Peace to his ashes! permanently. Miss Munie Coil and Julius Cowan were married this week. J. W. Cooley and son returned home from Topka last week.

We are sorry to announce the death of Miss Cotney Handcock, formerly of Topeka, Kana. Death was caused by Raymond Roscoe Jamision is no More-Death Removes one of the Fairest Flowers in Nature's Garden. A bright and useful young man has been called to an unknown world just when the bud of life was beginning to bloom Raymond Roscoe Jamison, oldest son of Assistant County Attorney and Mrs. W. I. Jamison, died at the residence of his parents, 1321 Buchanan street early Saturday morning. Death was caused by spinal trouble, from which he had suffered for several months. He was taken to Colorado for his health and had the attention of the best physicians in Colorado and Kansas. About six weeks before his death it looked as though he would recover. He walked in the yard and talked over the 'phone to his father with considerable vigor, and some hopes were entertained for his recovery. He began to sink rapidly a few days before his death, which he met calmly and bravely, JOHN H. HARRIS RAYMOND ROSCOE JAMISON and went to the Great Beyond as though he was sleeping. He was a model of perfection, upright, manly and full of ambition. He had a large number of friends but is much improved at this writing. Mr. Chatley Cruzatt has gone to South Dakota on business.

At a regular Church meeting of Zion Baptist Church Oct. 2nd, the resignation of Elder Reynolds was asked for to take effect at once. Elder Hart spoke to the Y. M. C. B. Sunday, the 4th, and tried hard to raise a Race color fobia in his talk. If our ministry knows nothing to talk about when called upon, it is best to say "amen" and keep their seats. The Congo Mining Company has staked its claims and for once we can state of a good investment that we would advise our people to buy stock and push it to the front, and the management will be glad to furnish anyone with circulars who will address them, as great inducements are offered to all who desire to go in on the ground floor.

The color scheme was white and green. The Rev. S. H. Gibson otholated. The bride received a great many valuable presents. Very soon after the Republican Convention, held in Chicago, a delegation of Negro malcontents made a trip to Lincoln, Nebr., and got a pledge from Mr. Bryan that he would have something placed in the Democratic platform favoring fair treatment to the Negro. This information reached the Ilon. James K. Vardamann of Mississippi, La., who thereupon declared that the South would not stand for any such, and that he would rather see the Party go to the place where it is always hot, than to have them bid for the Negro vote. Thereupon the Democratic platform committee concluded that Mr. Vardamann was more influential in the councils of the Democratic Party than Mr. Bryan and left out any mention of the Negro. We are, therefore, left to ascertain the views of the Democratic Party on the Negro question from expressions of one of its leaders. We publish in parallel columns, therefore, these views as compared with those of Mr. Taft, having already given Mr. Bryan's views. Rey Runyon. Rev C R Runyan of Paola, Kan. one of the leading members of the . M R. bunch was in the city last week attending conference. Rev Runyan is among the oldest ministers of the North Missouri Conference, from which conference he has recently been transferred to Kansas. He did some very successful work in that state, having been actively engaged in ministerial work for thirty four years. His work in Kansas promises to be equally successful as that in Missouri. Dear Sir, Your communication on September 30, embodying a challenge to a joint debate on the following subject, "Resolved that the success of the Democratic Party, in the pending election, through aid of the Negro, will prove more advantageous to him than the success of the Republican Party," has been received. Believing as I do that there is only one side to the resolution you suggest, I can not accept your challenge. It is difficult for me to believe that you are serious in your contention that the Negro has more to gain by supporting the patty of Bryan, Ben Tullman, and Bardamann, than in supporting the Republican ticket. I believe that the Negro man who advises the Race to support the Democratic Patty at this current period in our history is other too rickless in his conclusions to be trusted as a leader or is at heart absolutely in different to the best interests of his people. Entertaining such convictions thereore I can not and will not lend my support to any movement that tends in the remotest degree to mislead the colored voters of this country. Our people are showing an increasing interest in the serious questions that now confront them. We believe that never before in the history of the Race in this country has a National election meant so much to them as the one to take place November 3rd next. We are persuaded, therefore, that every man of the Race who is seriously interested in its welfare and future will carefully weigh the situation before attempting to advise any untried and unusual course for our Get Bus In business for yourself.

Voters Consider It seems that the Democratic Party has opened headquarters for its Negro contingent in the City of Chicago at 3160 State St. The leading spirit in this movement seems to be Dr. Henry O. Cress, who is given as the chairman of the advisory committee. It is not just how many positions Dr. Cress fits in this August body, but it has been hinted that Dr. Cress and one other constitutes the strength of the Bryan movement among the colored people in the city of Chicago. The stationery that they send out bears this strikingly inconsistent motto and heading (The motto) "With malice toward none and charity for all" (The heading) "Cook County Executive Committee - The Lincoln Loyal League" This executive committee has been doing all it can to attract attention, even to the extent of attempting to disturb Republican meetings by hues and ungentlemanly interruptions. Unable to seize an audience on its own, they struck upon the novel plan by which their chairman hoped to seize an audience through the assistance of the National Republican Committee. With this brilliant idea in mind Dr. Cress sent a challenge to Mr. Walter M. Partner, a member of the Speakers' Bureau of the National Republican Committee, for a point discussion. Below is Mr. Partner's answer to this challenge: Dr. Henry O. Cress Chairman National Dr Henry C. Cress, Chairman National Executive Committee, Negro Anti Saloon, mixed trade--$250. Order Blank people. If, perchance, there should be one of our Race who has not thus carefully considered, calmly and seriously, the last interests of the whole Race, then he must be a dangerous leader. If, through Providence or opportunity any one of us is given advantages over the test of our followers, it is our duty to so use the powers thus gained, in the service and interest of our Race. We owe it to them, therefore, not to be hosty in judgment not reckless in advice as the result may prove disastrous both to the leader and to the people who follow him. We believe the cause of ten millions of people to be a sacred one. The struggle upward during this last 10 years has been a trying one but we are thankful to say that it has been crowned with remarkable success. What we do in the approaching election may have a telling influence on what we are to accomplish in the next generation to follow The questions confronting the Negro are unlike those confronting any other class of people in this country. In every conflict the Negro must consider how his action will affect his civil and political rights. No white man has this to consider in casting his vote next November. At most he is concerned about economic questions—protection to labor, protection to commerce, protection to the manufacturing interests, banking interests and the like. We have staring us in the face the questions of distranchisement, of humiliating discriminations, of Jim Crow cars and a total exclusion from any participation in the affairs of government. How are we to be guided then in the matter so serious and so far reaching? You realize that the past is a very excellent guide to the future and I am sure you must agree with me that so far as the past is concerned the Democratic Party has been the unyielding enemy of every interest dear to the colored American citizen. Not only have they distranchised the Negro and humiliated him by class legislation, but the leaders of the party are even managing the rights and interests of the Negro in those States where he has enjoyed a certain degree of freedom and been permitted to cast his ballot unrestricted. Not content with distranchising the Negro in the Southern States, they declare themselves determined to repeal the 14th and 15 amendments to the Constitution. They have let the Negro know that they do not want him in the Democratic Party. Congressman Rainey of Illinois, during a debate in the House on the 27th of May, said: "The Democratic Party is the white man's party in this country, in the North as well as in the South. We have been able to make it a white man's jarty in the past and we do not care how long it remains a white man's party." This view of Congressman Rainey, as you know, is concurred in by the leading Democrats of the country, and PUBLICATION NOTICE. In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas.

Now, these Democratic friends of yours are not satisfied with disfranchising the Negro and humiliating him in the States known as the "Solid South," but to further emphasize their determination to eliminate the Negro completely from politics, they have threatened to distribute him in every State mouth of the Mason and Dixon line that is known as a Democratic State. In a few weeks after the National Democratic Convention at Denver, and while some of our colored leaders were advising the colored people to vote the Democratic ticket, the Democratic Convention in the State of West Virginia placed in its platform the following planks: "We favor the enactment of a law requiring common carriers engaged in passenger traffic to furnish separate coaches or compartments for white and colored passengers." "Believing that the extension of the elective franchise to a Race in relation in intelligence and without preparation for the wise and prudent exercise of the privilege so vital to the maintenance of good Government, was a mistake if not a crime, committed by the Republican Party through the reign of passion and prejudice following the Civil War, for political ends and purposes, we declare that the Democratic Party is in favor of so amending the Constitution as to preserve the purity of the ballot and the election of the State from the evil results of conferring such power and privilege upon those who are unfit to appreciate its importance as it affects the stability and preservation of good Government." And the State of Maryland is submitting to the voters in the approaching election a constitutional amendment by which they hope to eliminate nearly every Negro from participation in elections in that State. I might add that of all the unfair measures adopted by the various States in the South, the Maryland amendment is the most unattainable and unreachable. Then, as it to convince the Negro that there is a concerted action on the part of the Democratic Party to disfranchise him in every section of the country, Mr. Coward, the Democratic candidate for Governor in the State of Missouri, has declared that if he is elected he will favor an amendment disfranchising the Negroes in that State; and then comes John H. Atwood, Democratic National Committeeman for the State of Kansas and Chairman of Mr. Bayan's Speakers' Bureau who declares that he is in favor of disfranchising the Negroes in the State of Kansas. It would have been difficult to persuade anyone to believe that the Democratic Party in the State of Kansas—the State of John Brown—the State of one of the bitterest conflicts on the triumph of freedom, in the country—would declare in favor of disfranchising the few colored voters of that State. Thus you clearly see that in every State where there is even a meeting chance for the Democratic Party, there are those in that State who favor the elimination of the Negro from politics. It may be that the Democratic Party at this time is holding out some in document to the Negro voter. But I have looked through the platform adopted at Denver and find not a word concerning its attitude toward our people. I have carefully read Mr. Bryan's speech at acceptance and find not a word of consolation there. I have sought in various ways to glom some expression from his reluctant lips, in his great speech making tour throughout the country, but since the Denver convention, he has failed to my one word of consolation or hope to the Negro voter. But Mr Bryan has already stated his views in regard to disfranchising the Negro. Let me give you the benefit of this great many attitude toward the Negro voter whose support he is now seeking. Some time ago Mr. Bryan delivered a speech in Cooper Union New York on "Universal Brotherhood." In this speech Mr. Bryan showed a heart full of deep sympathy and brotherly love for the oppressed Lupino. When asked, however as to his attitude toward disfranchisement of the Negro in this country, Mr. Bryan said, "The white man of the South disfranchises the Negro in self-defense. The white man of the South are determined that the Negro shall be disfranchised everywhere it is necessary to prevent the resentance of the carpet-bag rule." to see how any self-respecting, thoughtful Negro man, interested in the future of his Race, can advise the Negro to vote the Democratic ticket. I suppose you have not forgotten that Congressman Hellin of Alabama tried to get through Congress last winter an amendment to a Bill, to establish separate coaches in the District of Columbia. You surely have not forgotten also, that every vote registered in favor of this separate amendment was a Democratic vote and every vote registered against it was a Republican vote, and surely you are aware that had it not been for the opposition of the Republicans in Congress, that Bill would have been passed in the House. Are you willing to take chances with the Democratic Party on so important a question affecting the comfort and wellbeing of our people in the District of Columbia. Are you willing to allow the Democratic Party to say whether or not the most refined lady of our Race must be forced to ride in a Jim Crow car in the District of Columbia? It is a significant fact in the contention that you and others make for the Negro support of the Democratic Party that you have not presented a one reason for your contention. You have thought it sufficient to call attention to what the Republican Party has not done and to try to arouse prejudice against certain individuals in the Party. You present the sad spectacle therefore, of a leader asking your people to follow, by the exercise of blind faith, a Party that has attempted to rob them of every right granted them under the Constitution. Do you consider such a leader a safe one for a people situated as the ten million Negroes are situated in this country? I have not attempted in this letter to call your attention to any of the many commendable acts of the Republican Party, that have tended toward the civil and political betterment of our Race. You know them as well as I do. The question confronting the Race today is not, "What has the Republican Party failed to do for us;" but rather, "What has it done and what hope does it hold out to the Race for the future?" on the one hand, and "What has the Democratic Party done in the past for the Negro and what hope does it hold out to him for the future?" These are the questions that every thoughtful Negro man should carefully consider before making up his mind to cast his ballot, or to advise others to follow his course. The fact is that the questions confronting the Negro today have all to do with his future struggles in this country and should address themselves with equal force to the women of this Race as they do to the men, for in the exercise of our civil and political rights and interests of the women are inseparable from the interests of the men. This is a matter that I wish every colored man to thoughtfully and seriously consider for himself, remembering, however that whatever action he takes on the 3rd day of November will not only affect his individual interests but will influence in a huge measure, the interests of ten millions of our fellow citizens.

The conference was well attended. Delegations from Nebraska and sections of Kansas were on hand either to beg for the return of their minister or to have him changed It is now up to the preacher to do his duty, or he can't stay long at one place. Although there are lots of soreheads, who never help a church but kick all the time, this class will not have any weight if the bishop knows it. Over $4000 were collected and over $1'000 paid out to widows and poor stations. The Women's Mite Missionary society raised several dollars to assist the aged and worn out preachers, Mrs. L. T. Biggers is the presideut and an excellent officer. Five women evangelists were licensed to work. They are proving a success, and if the men don't push up the women will be taking their places. Resolutions of thanks were tendered Bishop Grant, the officers of the conference, Rev. J. E. Edwards and the substantial members and friends of St. John who did so much to make it pleasant for business and entertaining interests of the conference The conference concurred in a resolution with the Colorado conference relative to the erection or a building on several valuable lots given by General Palmer of Colorado for that purpose.

The Sunflower Agricultural association which was held in Ottawa some ten days ago is bearing fruit The speech made by Hon. John Dawson, assistant Attorney general, showed that the colored people are progressing along the lines of farming and stock raising Mr Charles Barnes, insurance commissioner, also made some strring remarks that made everlasting impression upon the hearers. Rev J D Brown, who is station d at Rosedale, is one of the greatest evangelists in the West and is doing much to ward the uplift of fallen humanity Ministers conducting revivals and needing a good singer and evangelist, should write him at the point above mentioned. Rev Brown has been actively engaged in this work for several years and has been the instigation of bringing over 5000 into the church. He uses both the old time and modern methods and is very effective, so much so that the vilest sinner stands but little show of resistance. Rev. J. R. Base, of Pleasanton, was in attendance on the C. M. E. conference. He is an uncle of Hon. J B. Bass, editor of the Montana Plaindealer.

The session opened on Wednesday and closed on Friday. Several interesting papers along agricultural lines were read, which showed careful study along the lines of farming and stock raising. Prof. J. C. Kendall of the State Agricultural college, lectured on dairying and Prof. P. E. Crabtrue on farming and live stock that both of these gentlemen are well versed on the science of agriculture was easily determined by the masterly way in which they handled their subjects.

One session of the meeting was held in Raubaugh opera house where an interesting musical program was rendered. Mine. E B. Lowry, of Kansas City and Miss M. L.
