During the past few days we have been taking a careful survey of the political situation—especially in the fight for Sheriff.

He pledges: Mr. Betts stands high with the working people. He employs more labor than any four men in the county, and always takes the lead in advocating more pay and shorter hours. It was he who raised the scale of common labor from $1.50 to $2.00 per day. This is one of the many acts that has brought a host of laboring men to him, and we find them supporting him actively. The colored voters are especially enthusiastic in their support of M. Betts. He has done as much, if not more, to aid and uplift the race, as any man in Kansas. He has stood up for them when it looked as though his own business and political future were being jeopardized He is a strong and fearless advocate of law, order and decency, and if nominated and elected.

In selecting men for public office, the Negro has much to look forward to, and in order not to hinder his progress, he must vote for men who are friendly to the race and want to see them advance Such is and always has been Mr. Betts's attitude toward the race, and the colored voters are showing their wisdom by standing by him. In conversation with Mr. Chas. Whitney, one of the largest colored contractors and builders in the middle West, he paid a high compliment to Mr. Betts as an honorable, upright gentleman. He remarked: "I was employed on a job for Mr. Betts several years ago, and the foreman, who no doubt was prejudiced to color, tried to find fault with my work and release me. When the news reached Mr. Betts, he promptly gave the foreman to understand that I was to stay on the job. When the work was completed Mr. Betts told me that I had given perfect satisfaction and that any time he had work I could always consider myself engaged." Mr. Whitney is a man of influence and high standing. He employs several men and has erected some of the finest dwellings, churches, etc., in the city of Topeka. Rev. J. R. Ransom, presiding elder of the Topeka district, when asked about Mr. Betts said: "I am not taking any part in politics just now, but I will say this: Mr. Betts is a splendid gentleman and one of my personal friends, and one to whom I feel under many obligations. All through our long fight for our rights in the public schools, Mr. Betts stood like a man, and answered every beck and call. Naturally I feel obligated to him as do a great many others of the race." Elder Ransem is one of the best known and most influential colloaed men in the West. In church and political circles he is considered a wise leader, and his advice is often sought in matters of importance. It is the custom of candidates for office to prepare a high sounding platform, filled with numerous promises that cannot be fulfilled, and which they have no intention of trying to carry out. Mr. Betts's platform is all that the voters desire and expect, and he will follow it to the letter. He pledges: An Honest Enforcement of Law. An Earnest Endeavor to Preserve Order. A Zealous Regard for the Rights'of Men. A Clean and Economical Administration.

In a few days the voters of Kansas will again be called upon to select men to filll the various offices, county and state. It is a matter of grave importance and should be given careful study in order that one may be able to choose intelligently. In looking over candidates for the various offices, none are more important than that of state treasurer Mr. Tulley, the present incumbent, should be considered first of all others. His administration during the past two years have been one that highly commends him for another term. Honesty, care and watchfulness have marked every act of his administration. The calls upon the state treasurer are 4 HON. MARK TULLEY. numerous and it requires a man of great executive ability and sound business judgment to look after these many calls and keep the state on the safe side of the ledger. It requires a clean, honest, upright man; one who has made a success of his personal affairs and is willing to devote the same care and energy in transacting business for the people. All these things Mr. Tulley has done admirably well. The writer has visited every every county in the state during the past few weeks and find a majority of the business men and farmers favoring Mr. Tulley's nomination. In him the people feel safe and know that every dollar of the state's money can be accurately accounted for, and judging from the great wave that is sweeping over the several counties there is no doubt that Mr. Tulley will be nominated by a larger majority than before. E. L. PAYNE Mr. Payne is now working for the state of Kansas, and in a ring the voters to elect him to the office of State Superintendent, he is simply asking to be transferred from one department of state work to another, without any increase of salary. He believes that a successful life is a life of service to his fellow men, and hence he thinks he can serve his state better in the state superintendency than in his present position. To say that Mr. Payne is "a live wire" is not saying enough; he is a dynamo. He is physically and mentally vigorous, is a tireless worker, believes in the highest physical, mental and moral being of the child and takes an interest in the games and sports that lead to physical development. The greatest step that the schools of the state have taken within a generation or more is the system of gradation and graduation from the district schools that has been made a part of our state system. This system was inaugurated by Mr. Payne in Reno county in 1885, and his first class graduated in 1887. Since that time more than 2,000 students have graduated in that county. This system soon spread to the adjoining counties and continued to spread until it covered a greater part of the state and was made a part of the state system. At the present time the law requires the State Board of Education to furnish a course of study for the district schools, and to furnish the examination questions, thus making it a state wide system. This is recited to show that Mr. Payne has initiative and ability, and if he is chosen to the office there is no doubt that he will find many things that he will find many things that can be put in motion for the upbuilding of the educational interests of the state. Those who know Mr. Payne best say that he has always been in closest touch with the affairs of practical life, knows thoroughly the difficulties of the toiler and hence can be of use to all the people of the state. He has always owned and operated a farm and believes in teaching the elements of agriculture and domestic science, wherever it can be profitably done. He will carry out to the best of his ability all progressive movements that have been inaugurated. Mr. Payne is thoroughly honest, conscientious, and courageous, and will not swerve from what he believes to be right. In the choice of text books his vote will always be cast for the interests of the children of the state, and every man, woman and child will get a "square deal" at his hands. He is an all round scholar, being a graduate of a Normal School, a University and a College, is a splendid platform speaker, and will prove a powerful campaigner for the Republican party in the coming campaign in the state. OSCAR SWAYZE. By all president and taking into consideration the qualifications of all the aspirants for the office it does seem that it is about Oscar Swayse's turn at the helm in the county clerk's office. He has made a clean, honorable campaign for the place. He has proven his capability for the position while serving as deputy and his ambition to do the work and get whatever credit is due the head of the county's workshop is laudible. Mr. Swayse has not been a perennial candidate; he has never held elective office. All he asks is consideration of his qualifications and a paid divide. His opponents have held two terms each, one as county clerk, one as city clerk and are not counted among those who have taken part in the party councils be- NUMBER 28 fore they came out for office them- seves. Swayze has been a wheel horse in the ranks of Republicanism, not a politician for pay, but an earnest advocate of Republicanism and clean politics for years. He was secretary of the Republican Flambeau club for twelve years and an active member of the club twice as long. As secretary of the Kansas Republican League he gave his best efforts in the M'Kinley campaign without asking or expecting a reward. The precedent of two terms and out should not be broken, especially when there is no particular good to be gained by retaining men who claim much but who have done little to merit life jobs at public expense. Until these offices become a part of the civil service system they should be passed around, and the most deserving applicant should be given the preference, especially when he has the practical experience that this office demands. Oscar Swayze has lived in Topeka since 1874, asked for the nomination to this office once before, nine years ago. He has stepped aside for the other fellow several times; and he should now be given the boost that he has earned. In Miller's District Postmaster B. A. Rosenquist of Osage City, is a pleasant gentleman to meet. He has just closed his third term, March 8th, 1910. Osage City, through the influence of Congressman J. M. Millier, will have a handsome, substantial federal building valued at $50 000. ATCHISON COUNTY! Negro Voters Should Use Care and Support None But Simon Pure Republicans. On the day of the primaries, Aug. 2nd, will be fought one of the stiffest fights which has occurred in Atchison for many years. The great fight will be on the office of county treasurer. We predict for Mr. Ingham a victory and would advise oil our boys in Atchison to get in line for him. He has always been a friend to the colored people; it mattered not what a man's color was, a man was a man. Who among the colored people of Atchison ever asked Mr. Ingham for anything in the medicine line when sickness, and even possibly death impended, that the favor was not granted it mattered not whether the money was forthcoming or not. The progressive politician will work his wiles open the colored man and after he gets his vote, will not recognize him when meeting. When two young colored men were appointed as census enumerators, was it Mr. Ingham who turned up his nose and said, "What does he mean by putting two niggers on the census jobs when there are plenty of white fellows?" No! it was one of the ring politicians whom Mr. Ingham is fighting who said it. ```markdown ``` Mr. Ingham should have the support of every self-respecting colored voter in Atchison. Don't be led astray by a promise that is as quickly forgotten as given. Don't let your vision be covered by a dinkey piece of moner that is soon spent and gone, but self respect will be yours as long as you live. GEORGE W. WILLIAMS, OF WILLIAMS AND WALKER. Whose Mind Is Now a Blank. By Sylvester Russell.1 "O, worse than death, indeed!" are the words of truth so pathetically rescued in sacred "Angel Lived Bright and Fair," and the sorrowful rythms, "Lake oh, Take Me to Thy Care," as a fitting textorial to the unfortunate surrender of a once brilliant actor's career. To think for a moment that the team of Williams and Walker is not dead but his dream of life is over, is one sad that must linger with his numberless friends occasionally until the final end. Mr. Walker passed through Chicago about eleven days ago, accompanied by Mr. Green Henry Tapley, his faithful friend and former private secretary, on route to New York City. Mr. Walker was unable to recognize his most intimate friends as his mind is now a blank and his form of insufficiency a hopeless case of mental decay, said by doctors to be incurable. Williams and Walker, as a team, were the funniest pair of medians of any race or color seen upon the stage anywhere in the civilized world during the latter period of the nineteenth century. This distinction was proven both in vaudeville and in musical comedy by their power to draw larger audiences than other troupe of performers. Mr. Walker was not only the greatest fashion plate of his race in dress and characteristics, but his superiority in his class was always undere-timated, owing to the fact that his power to coach his partner to a blunt hilarious episode of laughter robbed him of his own reward in the final climax. Mr. Walker was a great business general and the main screw in the secret of their financial success. He was also a great admirer of men foremost of his race, and so became a member of the National Business Men's League. Mr. Walker, in accumulating a small fortune, was not slow to acquire real estate. He not only owns a house in New York City, but recently built a mansion for his mother in Lawrence, Kansas. While in Europe Bert A. Williams and George W. Walker, including Aida Overton Walker, Jesse A. Shilup and their company, were commissioned to appear before King Edward of England in the Royal Palace at Buckingham. His event Dr. W.

During the month of March, 1909, Mr. Walker broke down at Louisville, Ky., at which time the Associated Press gave out authentically that he was a physical wreck and would never appear again on the stage.

Since the close of the first nine months school work in the Industrial Institute for deaf, blind and orphans, June 15, all inmates have been busy taking care of the farm and garden, and a few days ago a large number wagon load of outions raised on the farm by the boye and girle, were gathered and loused. There is now growing twenty five acres of fine corn, which will yield at least 400 bushels. This will be used in wintering a head of horses and fattening the 21 hogs raised since the Institute started. Sept 15, 1909 The new $30,000 three story brick building 'provided for by the now going up, the contractor informing Superintendent Harel this week that in one hundred days he would be able to finish and turn over the building. Superintendent Russe marked at a recent public meeting. Let the institution, with its three blended departments, would in a few years prove to the world that it deservedly to the advantage of deaf mute children to be educated, trained and associated with Lear children, especially in State institutions, as such contact and assistance will prove more helpful to deaf children in future years than aggregating them in schools where only deaf mutes are. He contends that contact with hearing and making people better fit deaf mutes for the battle of life in a world where only one out of every one and of the population is deaf. Any information as to the whereabouts of deaf mutes, and children among the colored race in this state would be appreciated by Supt Ruerell, whom you can address at Taft, Okla! You can do nothing better than to help one of earth's unfortunate children. God, angels and men admire the scal that is brave enough to pause and help the unfortunate. Be a good Samaritan rather than a Pharisee. Matt Weightman. Matt Weightman, Jr., Republican candidate for county treasurer, has resided in Slawnee county for thirty-seven years.

A WICHITA MAN Editor of PLAINDEALER, Topeka, Kansas.—I will say and tell you a few things. I have seen on my trip in the East and South. On my to I met the ill. Deputy, A. P. Smith, (33rd degree) in the city of Topeka. After spending a few hours in your thriving city, we boarded the Rock Island train for Kansas City. After spending a few hours in the twin cities we boarded the C. B. & Q train for the windy city, Chicago. We spent nearly a day with Mr. Frank Peer and family who were former residents of Topeka. We were served with a size dinner by this splendid, young couple and were given a royal time. Next we boarded a train for Philadelphia. We spent about two hours in the smoky city of Pittsburgh, Pa. and arrived in Philadelphia on Thursday the 12th. Friday morning the 13th at 3. m. the Supreme Council was opened in due form for the transaction of business. On account of the death of our Sov. Grand Commander, Ill. J. D. Kelly. (33rd degree) Ill. Deputy Soveriegn Grand Commander Wales presided. After the morning session we were escorted to the palatial residence of the late J. D. Kelly. His daughters had prepared a grand feast for the members of the Supreme Council. After an enjoyable time had been spent, we marched back to the temple to resume our labor. We had a grand session that afternoon. There were three present that had been elected to the 33rd and last degree in Scottish Rite Masonry. These degrees were conferred on these princes and on the close of the session a Lodge of Sorrow was spent at Bethel A. M. E. Church. This was indeed a solemn affair and was carried out perfectly to the letter. There were 20 girls dressed in white that carried arms ful of flowers and during the ceremony these girls marched with the music and laid the flowers in the proper places. When the entire program had been completed the lodge of sorrow was closed. This closed one of the most successful councils that has ever been held by the Western Jurisdiction. We were indeed pleased to find our people doing so well in this grand old city. We call it grand because this was the birth place of one of the grandest and noblest organizations that has ever been instituted among our people in America. We had the pleasure of viewing the tomb of the father and founder of the A. M. E. Church. It was indeed a pleasure to me to go on that trip and then look over the pages of history and think what a grand work had been done by the one who slept beneath that tomb. This tomb is placed in the basement of the Methodist Church. It will be well for all those of our race that have a chance to visit Philadelphia to go and view the tomb of this noble leader. Leaving Philadelphia, Dr. Richards of Detroit; Dept. A. P. Smith of Topeka, Kansas; and J. W. Thompson of Wichita made a trip to Washington, D. C. There we were the guests of the members of the Southeau Supreme Council. There they indeed entertained usroyally. Washington is without doubt one of the prettiest and cleanest cities in this country. We find our people doing well there. While there we had the honor of calling on one of our greatest leaders of to day and one that has did things well; one that has made everything pure that he has put his hand to and one that we all love. He went up to Washington from the Sudler State; the state of that noble man, John Brown. This was in the person of W. T. Vernon. We had the pleasure of taking tea with him and his ideal companion. They indeed made it pleasant for our Sullflower State friends. Next we went to Baltimore, Md. where we were guests of J. P. Evans and wife. We were served with an ideal dinner. After dinner we were taken about the city by Mr. Evans and viewed many good things and met many people of that city. They have a nice hall there where they hold all their ledge meetings. We next went to Columbus, Ohio. Here the Dept. A. P. Smith went back to Chicago and went south via Cincinnati and Louisville to Nashville. I found our people busy in all lines of industry. We find them owning all kinds of property and doing all kinds of business. We find them running banks, laundries, grocery stores, restaurants, drug stores and undertaking establishments. We find some of the very best schools and colleges there. The beautiful buildings and campus are pleasing to the eye. Fiske, the Walden and Mehara are in fine condition. If any one ever goes to Nashville they will miss a great deal if they fail to see the two publishing houses. The A. M. E. has a fine corps of workers and every one knows his business and all are skilled workmen. The Baptist publishing house has nearly 150 working in all departments. Here everything is made but the paper. It is wonderful to see the magnificent presses at work—just almost human in consideration of the different parts—and as I think of the past and see the present it does not seem possible that all of this is being done by members of our race. Here is one of the finest banks in the country owned and operated by a Negro. The cemetery is supported and nicely kept by those of our race. There is a fine park and one of the finest Masonic Homes in the country that is owned by our people. Whenever a mason or any one of the race visits Nashville they should not fail to see this home having fourteen large rooms, barn, well and 40 acres of ground make the place up into one of the finest homes that can be found. We find our people doing nicely in their church work and as a whole they are doing well in all lines. While there I met Dr. Lester who is doing a splendid practice. He is a fine man to meet and he did not fail to give me a fine time. With his horses and buggies he made it pleasant. We also found Mr. Hightower and Son doing a fine wholesale business and is counted to be one of the wealthy of Nashville. Danis Bros. on Garder street gave me a atag party while there It was one of the finest parties of the kind ever given in Nashville. They are a fine set of boys and are of one of the most respected families in that city. As I don't care to take up all of the space in your valuable paper I will have to cease writing. Respectfully yours, J. W. Thompson. Judge T. J. Flannelly, the present district Judge of Montgomery county is sure to succeed himself. He has been a splendid official, giving the people a good, honest,clean administration and they are going to keep him on the bench. Judge Flannelly is one of the most popular and influential men in this section of the state. He is well liked and has many very warm personal friends. Johnny Morgan of Sa. use the guest of Thomas Bell man. Miss Lette White departed for Lawrence, to set her brother, Paul White. William Ernough is the guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. Ernough. Mrs. G. T. Ramsey departed for Wichita to join her husband. Miss Myrilo Smith and Miss Tillie Warder departed for Winfield Tuesday to visit relatives and friends. Mr. Brown of Manhattan was here on business this week. Mrs. Ella Webster of Salina was the guest of her sister, Mrs. M. G. bson Sunday. Mrs. M. Gibson departed for Omaha, Nebr. Monday. HIGHLAND. KANS. Miss Ella Hathaway is home for the summer. She recently graduated with honors from Western University and may return to take post work in the fall. Rev. Roberson has recently compiled a book of poems of unusual merit and they are being published by THE PLAINDEALER Publishing Co. at Topeka. We all appreciate the appearance weekly of THE PLAINDEALER; it has more news relative to our race than any paper in the West and should have a wide circulation. The citizens of Highland and vicinity will celebrate the Fourth of August with a picnic and possibly an address from Rev. Gregg. pastor of the A. M. E. church of St. Joseph. Everybody is invited and a good time is planned. Rev. Robinson, Miss Ella Hathaway and Prot. Powell represented the A. M. E church in the district conference at Atchison recently and reported an excellent meeting Prof. Morten R. Powell has accepted an invitation to deliver the address at the annual fair and picnic at Clarinda Iowa, August 4th, this being his second address there. SWITHVALE. OKLA. The Fourth of July celebration delighted all present. The principal speakers were Prof. J. H. A. Brazelton, principal of the Dorsgizes High school of Oklahoma City, and Hon. T. C. Brown, one of Oklahoma's best Negro lawyers. After speaking the committee and the good people of the town spread dinner upon the green lawn and all partook of the refreshments of life freely. Could you have seen the chicken, cakes pies, and other nutritious things of life passing to realms unknown so rapidly, you would have exclaimed: "It is good to be here." After dinner the crowd enjoyed themselves in various ways. "The Negro and Education" was the subject of the excellent address delivered by Prof. Brazelton, seemed to be at his best, and from his cup. PROCLAMATION To the Master Wardens and Brethren of..... Lodge No. Greeting:---- Persuant to a resolution adopted at the Thirty-Fourth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge held in the City of Kansas City, Kansas The Thirty-Fifth Annual Communication will convene in Masonic Temple in the City of Coffeyville on the fourth Wednesday of August, 1910; A. L. 5910, being the 24th day thereof, for the transaction of such business as may come before it for the good of the Craft. The Grand Session will continue on the 25th and 26th. Each Lodge is required to fill out the enclosed returns and forward one copy to the Grand Secretary not later than August 1st in order to facilitate the work of the Grand Lodge. These returns should be carefully filled and show the names of all members in good standing up to June 24th and a report of all work done up to that date. Each Lodge is required to bring the sum of ($1.00) per capita; the assessment levied at the last session for the benefit of the Masonic Home. Delegates are requested to be on hand promptly, prepared to do work. The Grand Lodge will open promptly at 10 o'clock a. m. This proclamation must be read in open Lodge. DONE BY ORDER OF PRINCE HALL GRAND LODGE C. H. M. COLLINS, Grand Master ___Grand Secretary quence and persuasive oratory the youth of our race should take fresh courage, live for something, be something and achieve something. The new speaker of the day was the Hon. T. C. Brown, who discussed "The Grandfather Clause of the state of Oklahoma," which is to be voted upon August 2nd. To say that Lawyer Brown made an instructive and most excellent speech would be a very mild way of putting it. He seemed to be well versed in constitutional law and gave wholesome at race to the race, which was more than appreciated. The audience gave rap attentu to both speakers and class them among the stars of the race. Many from Oklahoma City were present and all through through the crowd could be heard expressions as follows. "This reminds me of our times, back in the old state." Quite a number went fishing. Among the heavy weights in the fishing crew were my distinguished friends, W. A. Jackson Joe Pittman, two successful businessmen of Oklahoma City. The livery ones drawing the free share at stock of the Smuhva'e Teller and company were as follows: Okhoma City, Mr. Halafax Wiley, 347; Mr. Joseph Bann, No 345; Guth ie, Okla. Rev. C A Buckhanan and Rev. E. H. Upshaw. The company had 1000 one dollar tickets issued but less than 200 numbers had been returned at the time of the drawing, therefore there were only four shares to be drawn out of that number of tickets. The board of directors may let the balance or their substitutes be drawn Thanksgiving. Our people misunderstand the use of our tag, as it was intended to be used as a souvenir, one that we should feel proud to have pinned in our houses as we would any other memento. We trust that as long as there are any for sale they will be taken and kept for that purpose. Pres. Smithvale Telephone Co. R.F.D. No.11, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Tom Humphreys, candidate for the Republican nomination for county attorney is a lawyer who is fully capable and would serve Shawnee county faithfully. He practice in all courts including the U. S. supreme court. He was the nominee of his party two years ago but as the man in the office was performing his duty, a great many voters felt he should be given a second term, hence Mr. Humphreys was defeated, and now feels that he deserves your support. POLITICAL. Samuel Stewart, candidate for treasurer of Wyand the county, is a prosperous business man, having conducted a first cross trade and staple grocery for years. The concensus of opinion is that he will be nominated almost without opposition being supported by all who respect him for his fairness and honesty of purpose.

Carmean, candidate for Sheriff, is a pioneer, and a thoroughgoing Republican. Was chief of police in Lawrence a number of years. Is a conscientious gentleman, who, if elected sheriff will fulfil the duties of the office. Of The \ Reemenpe Nernst Mere ——— Airs.
