Senator Hodges's Big, Humain Heart Has Won Him Many Warm Friends Throughout Kansas M. H. SENATOR GEORGE HODGES, Candidate for Governor of Kansas. He Has the Unanimous Support of the Colored People of His County. SENATOR GEORGE HODGES, Candidate for Governor of Kansas. He Has the Unanimous Support of the Colored People of His County. SENATOR HODGES A FAVORITE! Johnson County Colored People are Enthusiastically Supporting Him for Governor. We visited Olathe, the home of Senator Geo. Hodges, candidate for governor, one day this week While there we made an investigation as to his standing among the colored people in his home city, and we find that he is popular with all classes and well liked. Mr. Hodges has resided in Olathe since childhood and we thought perhaps we would hear a few "knocks" from his neighbors, but have yet to hear anyone say aught against him. All with whom we talked have nothing but praises for him. Andy Williams, who has resided in Olathe since 1804 and conducts the leading barber shop of the town and has for thirty-five years says: "I have known Senator George Hodges from boyhood. A better a man never lived in Kansas. Before my wife died, we were neighbors of Mr. Hodges and his mother and they treated us an nice an any one possibly could. The colored people will have nothing to fear if he is elected governor of Kansas--in fact it would benefit them greatly. He has always delighted in assisting my race—especially those struggling for a foot-hold among men. He is the name nice, courteous, gentleman every time you meet him." Walter Rollins says: "I have lived in Olathe all my life -born here and am forty years old and know Senator Hodges well. Kansas could not elect a first man for governor and the loved people should vote for him. We do for him here and I am a Republican, Mr. Hodges has always treated my race like human beings." John Jenkins, janitor at the court house is another strong admirer of the Hon. George Hodgins, candi- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 16, 1910. date for governor. When questioned as to his position on the matter said: "I'm like all the colored people of Johnson county-- for Mr. Hodges for governor. I have known him for over fifteen years and have delt with him almost constantly and found him honorable and square. Before he ever dreamed of running for office seven years ago, he assisted me in getting this position, and will aid any man who is trying to rise. We colored people of Olathe and Johnson county like Mr. Hodges and intend to stand by him for anything he may want. Pless Martin, a laborer, is enthusiastically for Hodges and delights in having an opportunity to say a word for the Senator: "I have known George Hodges for more than twenty-four years," his countenance beaming with joy as he continued, "and I don't know of a man that I'l rather vote for than he. He grew up here in Johnson county and all of us—black and white, feel as though we are blood kin to him. Olathe and Johnson county owes much to Mr. Hodges, and everybody is going to exert the same energy that made him senator to boost him into the gubernatorial chair, Ed. Robinson has known the Hodges brothers for twenty-seven years and says: "I have worked in Hodges Bros. lumber yards for over twenty years and over men have met the breath of life. The Senator's brother, Mr. Frank Hodges when mayor of this town, gave it the first resemblance of life by installing a water, gas, electric light and power system. Senator George Hodges has done as much if not more than any man in Johnson tee in a Republican stronghold JUDGE A. S MREA, THE BEST LAWYE: IN OKLAHOMA county for my race. He has assisted them in getting homes by selling them lumber and giving them ample time to settle. A few years ago a colored lad who had no relatives in the town worked for them. He was seriously injured by a Santa Fe train—one leg crushed into a pulp. An ambulance was called and ordered to take the boy to the poor house. Mr. George Hodges said, 'no take him to my home.' He was placed in the best room in the Hodges home and given the best medical attention, and when he died was given a decent burial. This is the kind of man Mr. George Hodges is and he has done me many personal favors for which I am grateful and I shall vote and work for him for governor of Kansas. I am a hard working man, have four little children whose mother deserted them and Mr. Hodges has stuck by me and my children sick or well. No colored man will regret supporting him." "I have known Senator Hodges all my life," said R. H. Miller. "I have played ball, fished, hunted and slept in the same bed with him, and I speak truthfully when I tell my race that a finer boy never lived than George Hodges. I am going to do as all other colored men in Kansas should do, vote and work for his election." "What do you think about Mr. Hodges?" we asked R. Levells, junior at the bank who answered by saying, "I am not thinking, I know about my friend, Senator George Hodges. He is the biggest and best hearted old boy in Kauaese I voted for him for senator and you can say in your newspaper if you like that I am for Mr. Hodges for governor and intend to urge all of my friends to vote for him." C. R. Miller, laborer: "I'm going to vote for Senator Hodges. I have been intimataly acquainted with him for fifteen years and know that he is a friend of my race." "R. II. Jenkins, quarman also had a good word for the Senator: "I am like all the colored people of this county, going to support Geo Hodges for governor. I have known him since '88 and know that his heart is in the right place. No matter what his politics might be, a fairer, equarer man never lived " County Clerk. William Dickson, of Auburn township, candidate for county clerk, is a native son, having first saw the light of day in Auburn township forty years ago. He is a prosperous and successful farmer, and says that if the voters honor him with their confidence that he will not only serve them faithfully and well, but will be amply satisfied with two terms Mr. Dickson says further that if elected he will give Shawnee county a dollar's worth of work for the same amount of pay, and that the county commissioners will never be delayed with their work on account of his books being behind Mr. Dickson served the people two terms as township trust which plainly shows that he is not only capable and efficient but stands far above party felling. He is an honored member of the Masonic, Odd Fellows and Modern Woodmen lodges. The county commissioners want a man who will keep the books up-to-date, a thing Mr. Zimmerman has not done since Oscar Swayze served as a deputy in his office. Zimmerman is playing the role of boss and dic- J. MR WILLIAM DICKSON tator. He thinks he should have the office for life. He has had two terms, now let young William Dickson, a hard-working, industrious farmer have a chance. He started in life a poor boy and through his thrift, energy and enterprise, educated himself and accumulated several acres of good farming land. The voters should encourage such men and we feel that Shawnee county will give him the honor he so richly deserves. Zummer has had two terms, lets pass a good thing around Judge M'Rea, Oklahoma's Best Lawyer. Judge A. S McRae, a colored attorney of Muskogee, Okla., has more than made good in the new state, and is considered to be the best lawyer in that section of the country. He has practiced law for the past ten years, in 48 years of age, highly educated and possesses NUMBER 37 wonderful ability. One can best judge his ability by the following from the Muskogee Climeter: "Judge A. S. McRea, attorney for Ed Jefferson, plaintiff in error in the cause of Ed Jefferson, guardian, vs. Felix L. Winkler, cause in the Supreme Court of the State of Oklahoma, won a great victory for his client when the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the lower court, Judge King presiding, and ordered the cause dismissed. The manner in which the cause was handled shows that Judge McRea has the bull dog tenacity as well as the ability to hold out to the end. Lawyers all over the state have waited patiently for the decision in this case as there were hundreds of cases on the dockets of the various courts in which the same points were involved and we are proud of the fact that a Negro lawyer is entitled to the credit of carrying the case up and getting a decision in his favor and that it is well known that the lawyers for the defense are among the very best in the state, which goes to show the case was fought bitterly from start to finish. "The point raised in the cause was whether or not an Indian minor who married could transfer or sell allotted land independent of the Probate courts. Judge MoRea's contention was they could not and the defendant just as strenuously said they could. The court held as "A minor within the meaning of the law includes males under the age of twenty-one yearu and females under the age of eighteen years and the marriage;of such a minor does not confer upon him or her the right to sell him or her admitted lands independent of the jurisdiction and supervision of the probate courts of the state. "The above decision taken thousands of acres of land from the grafters and land sharks who have made it a business to hunt up minor Freedmen and hire women and men to marry these children and then purchase the land for a mere pittance. You we must all admit that Mr. Roe is a lawyer and all of us in the practice will receive benefit from the victory won by the indomitable courage, local acumen and skill of old Mr. You are entitled to all the glory, Mr. and we tip our hat to you JACK JOHNSON.... ```markdown ``` His Statue, 18 inches high finished in bronze.

Citizens of Little Town Up In Arms Because Negro Purchases Property Among the White Residents. DOUBLE THREAT MADE. Mob Visits Negro and Man Who Sold Property—Both State and Federal Protection Is Asked. All the power vested in the Governor and the Attorney General of Kansas will be used to protect G. A. Williams, a colored man, and J. C. Lace, a white man of Pratt, it is necessary. And according to the stories told by these two men yesterday when they appealed for protection, there was need of it when they left Pratt. The two of them appealed to state authorities, and Lace, who is a mail carrier on a star route, appealed to H. J. Bone, United States district attorney. They want protection from mob violence at the hands of Pratt citizens. The whole trouble is due to the fact that Pratt people don't want and say they won't have a more family in just any and every section of the city. Later, the white man sold Williams his residence in Pratt for support and that is what started the trouble. The mob warned Williams not to move in and notmed lies that when he moved out of the property he had sold he had best just keep on moving until he got clear outside the city limits. Williams is a colored man, probably 50 years of age. He is industrious, has a good education and a good appearance. He is unmarried and has an invalid mother and three sisters. He has lived in Pratt county for twenty-two years and owns 550 acres of good Pratt county land. He has farmed it for years and has been exceedingly successful. Lees is a married man and his wife and two children were with him yesterday. He is a mail carrier on a star route and that was his reason for appealing to the federal authorities. Lees Acted Innocently, He Says. A short time ago Williams decided to move to town and began looking around for property. He found what he wanted in the residence of Laes and offered him $3,000 for it. Previously he had looked at another piece of property at the same price and, according to his story, the Pratt people had threatened to hang the owner if he sold to Williams, and the deal fell through. Laes says he did not know there was any objection to the sale of his property until after he had sold it and received some money from Williams. Even after that, he held up the deal in order that some one else might buy it if they saw it. No one made an offer for it and he closed --- the deal with Williams. Then the trouble began. "I heard some one knock at the door," said Williams, the colored man, in telling of the work of the mob, "and my mother went to the door. Some one asked her if he could see George. I stepped to the door and opened it. The light flashed out over two or three hundred people, and I saw guns of all descriptions. I reached inside where I knew there was a little 'piece of self-protection,' secured it and stepped out. I didn't know what they were going to do. I knew if they had any business to transact with me they could have called me anywhere and I would have gone. They did not need to come in the form of a mob. The leaders told me what I could expect and passed on. The county attorney said I could not arrest any of them for disturbing my peace for they had not disturbed it. That is the only humorous thing connected with the whole matter." Coming of the Mob. From Williams' home the mob went to Lace. It told about it. "I was a sleep when they came," he said. "My wife woke me up and said there was some one knocking. I went downstairs and saw the mob. They told me what they had come for and I went out and talked to them. They didn't scare me a particle. I knew many of them and some of the best men of Pratt were in the crowd. I did not apologize nor offer to get the property back. It was mine, I was forced to sell it, they had a chance to buy it and would not, and I sold it to Williams. that's all there is to it." John Marshall, assistant Attorney General, sent a letter to the officials of Pratt yesterday telling them what their duty is and instructing them to do it. He said the department would stand for no foolishness; that the rights of Williams and Laws were plain and that they had a right to and would get the very best protection the state could offer. "Even to sending out the militia?" was asked. 'Certainly, if it comes to that point,' was the reply, "but I believe the trouble is over. I do not believe the Pratt people will take any further action. If they do, then we will act. Anyway the Pratt officials can be ousted for failure to perform his duty." Mr. Lee stated that he was satisfied with his interview with District Attorney Done. "He told me nothing could be dore unless I was forced to leave the city," said Lee. "If they insist upon my leaving, then, he says, he can take the matter up. But I must be driven or forced out first. I don't believe they are going to force me out. In fact I like Pratt and the longer I stay the better I like it. I think I'll stay." If the governor of the great state of Kansas will make an effort to prosecute the mob he will have done what the people elected him to do—protect life property and see that her citizens are permitted to follow the pursuits of happiness. It is a burning shame to permit a pack of hoodlums who call themselves superior because they are half white, to try to force colored people to buy property according to their wishes. If the governor and county officials can't protect this man and bring these culpirs to justice, then it is up to Mr. Williams to take his Winchester and give any mob a hot reception who dares truspass on his land. Mr. Williams happened to buy in a neighborhood where a few limberger cheese aristrocrats half starved and half raised no doubt, for no decent, self-respecting white people would resort to such unmanly methods.

Scott, September 28th, Bishop Grant preiding. The signs of the times indicate a large attendance of ministers and visitors. The committees as already announced will have many excellent and interesting reports to be submitted to the body. Among the reports that will call for much discussion and thought are those upon temperance, the state of church, the state of the country and the Sunday School. The question of dividing the conference into two parts and forming a new conference will come up and it is thought that some warm debate will be provoked as a part of the conference big guns are in favor, while the other part is against its division. The conference will be in session six days, COFFEYVILLE ITEMS The public schools opened Monday morning with fair attendance. There are eight colored teachers.

One of the most delightful events of the season was the surprise party given on Under Joe Martin, Sept. 5th, in remembrance of his 65th birthday. He is one of the oldest colored settlers in Stafford county, coming long in 1678 long well known throughout the county. He was sitting in his comfortable arm chair, on the front lawn, when a crowd of his children, grandchildren and friends numbering about fifty, came in the back door with buckets of catables and presents of all kinds. He surprise can be imagined; Uncle Joe laughed and cried until perfectly exhausted; then tables were arranged on the front lawn and everybody climbed sumptuously. --- After wishing Uncle Joe much happiness, at a late hour the guests departed for their homes, feeling the time had been joyously spent and would be long remembered. Mr. Lewis Martin is still all. Mrs. Nannie Williams of Hutchincom is visiting her notice in the country. Mrs. Jack Bowers is improving morly. Mme.
