Stubbs and Dolley are Using Every Means to Fool the People. - The voters of Kansas should not be deceived by Stuhbs and Dolley—the two political jokes of the season. We asked the Governor repeatedly to tell the people of his connection with the lynching of three Negroes at Lawrence on Juoe 11, 1882. Up tothis time he has been as mute as a mouse. Would you vote for a man who is guilty of participating in a lynching? Go to the polls and vote for Senator George Hodges, a clean business man for governor. Ex-Gov. Saint John says that he was working for prohibition ian Kansas when Stubbs's railroad camp was selling whiskey. Wesuggest that next time the Governor opens up a camp that he make Dolley general manager. He is past master of the Joha Barleycorn brigade. SS Se esnp-uame- 4 TH AT GRAFT ORDER|* Oklahoma gratting the poor igoo rant Negru’s money from him. The Knights and Ladies of Protection Continue Their Skin Game. We are stillon the trail of the fake order, Knights and Ladies of Protec: tion. People are quitting them; won’ stand to be duped. Their sick and accident hold-up policy beats the Jemes gang and is enough to make the Daltons tura over in their graves. Some of the gang swore out a war- rant for the arrest of the editor of this paperin Kansas City charged with malicious libel, We went down Monday to have it served but fuucd no one who knew where it was. Tae sheriffs force did not know, neither was it known at the county atturuey’s office what had become of it. We told them to look 1t up as we wanted it served. Hardworking peopit, bewaro of the fake order, the Knights and La- dies of Protection, headqnarters as the office of James H. Guy, the pree- ident, Topeka, Jim Mason is vice president, J G Groves, treasurer and Rev. C G Fishback, secretary. The secretary dues not keep the books, knows nothing about the or der, allowing them touse his name fora purpose No Christian minis- ter should allow his members to be duped by such methods. The ordir has pulicies amounting to th: usands and haa only about 8500 in the treas- ury with which to pay them, We can prove what we say, “And be went into tho fenple and overturned the tables of the money- changers and drove them frow the place” So are we.

Along with many other people, I believe that had Mr, ‘Ripley or the writer been in tte United States senate, either would have exercised enough judgment to atleast have wocured the appoint- ment of a crowroads postmaster, ard and also had sense enough to hav. voted for one o# the many good measures offerad in the sevate. I further believe that both Mr, Ripley and mysell compare as favor- ably with the peopye as some of the “great lights” whose cause is at present being espoused in Kansas aad elsewhere by thesenator.

True, be has to do the bidding of the bosses, Jbut the colored voters will pay him no mind as the majority of them will cast their votes for Mr. Hodges. PROHIBITION. On the eve of the impending election to be held in Missour}, November 8, it is important that our fellow-citizens care: fully eonsider the aspects of Prohibition as they aro daily evidenced in States where the prohibitory Jaw is now in effect figuratively if not literally. Most important of the various ques- tions ta be decided by the voter Nov. Sth fa the one of State Wide Prohibition aa proposed in Amendment No.,10, Patrick Henry said: “We have no way of judging the future except by the past.” Certainty Missourmna here no way of judging the effect of Prohibition bu this state, except dy Koowlaige of what the effect of Prohibition has dren iu the past in other states, Jn Kansas prodibition has promoted more drunkenness than exists in atates where probibition hay never been agi- tated. In Oklahoma prohibition is m farce and it is an open secreg that illicit saloons in the cities are an thick as bootleggers and blind pigs in the country towns and there are twice as many of erther an there are anloons where prohibition is unknown, In Tennessee saloons run openly in ab- elute disregard of the prohibitory stat: ute and the flagrant defiance of the law is condoned by the people for the same reason that in fraction of the law, more covertly, is the rule everywhere where prohibition is written on the statute books. In Muskogee whiskey is reeetved in 100 ease lota by one man and resold to as many bootleggers who distribute it al ever the city, The State, the county and the City are cheated of the tax, anc the grafiing politician is enriched throupt tais scandalous state of affaire. We eoukd go down the line and enumerate wany other states suffering and writhing under the bludgeon of Prohibition, The people are rapidly becoming acquainted with, the true facts and we will have a tremenduous “Wet” mnajonty in Mis. oourl. Just, because there are a few weab minded persons at large is no good reason why the great majority of sound minded and ‘weputable citirena should be made felons. ‘There is another phase to this situation which demands the attention of our race and fellow-men, Do you not realize that it Ss prohibitioniste in Oklahoma are re- wponsible for the recent passage of the in- famous Jaw known as the “Grand-father law.” It Js the probibitioniats erery where who are trying to disfranchise the Negro 1n order that they may rob him of hin Iiberty, Prohibition, being in itself derpotiem, it seekn to tryaanize. Prohibition socks to rob our race of the liberty to drink an we please and in the same breath give the white man the prisilege of drinking what he pleases, for he can and dos stock hia cellars with thousands of «dol: Jars worth of wines, sometimes imported, which ia impossible for our people to do on account of their poverty, We are told {hat white women are now visiting the homes of the colored popula- tion ja Missourl inducing the male mem- bers to vote for prohibition, when this is done the néxt step will tee “Jim Crow” or Grand-fatber Jaw” in Missouri, and it will be headed and pusbed slong by there game women and same prohiditioniste. None of us can efford for an instant to vote for any law which takes from us the smailest degree of our liberty for ‘which we paid so dearly. Prohibition in be the greatest wedge to destroy lour liberties and endanger our franchise, HUTCHINSON. Hon T, W. Bell, of Leavenworth, spore at the G. A. R.

Bowen, candidate for state superintendent, as I have served as principal and supervisor of the colored schools under him for nearly ten years, and I have always found him thoroughly alive to the interest of our race, also conservative and totally unbiased. It is due to his conservative and unprejudiced administration that the present harmony exists between the whites and blacks in our high school. In fact our people appreciate his former services so much that they have banded themselves M. H. PROF DAVID BOWEN. together into an organization, known as the "Bowen Club," and every member intends to cast their vote for him, as the office of state superintendent has been removed from politics, and furthermore this third term idea does not impress us as a very plausible one. I have known him the entire time during his superintendency and I never knew him to give our race anything other than a square deal. You will find him the same at all times, a perfect gentleman, honest, thoroughgoing, fair, conservative and actively alive to the interest of both races.
