THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Senator Huffman's Boom for Governor Southern Kansas is Enthusiastically Supporting Her Favorite Son and the Craze is Spreading Like Wild-fire---Kis Platform Has a Ring That Sounds Good to Everybody. Fourteenth Year. No. 10. The Huffman for Go Senator Huff Boom for C Southern Kansas is Enthusiast Favorite Son and the Craze in Wild-fire---His Platform Sounds Good to Eve --- We stated in the Third district last week—Pittsburg, Worc, Chelsea and Parsons. We found a strong sentiment for Senator Charles S. Huffman, for Governor. They are almost to a voter for him. We asked him of he thought he had a chance "Yes, I am going to win. I am receiving flattering reports from all portions of the state pledging support to my candidacy. You see, I served in the Senate for a long while and my colleagues are familiar with the service I rendered the state, which was my duty. You see, I have no faction to settle with. I go clean before the people. I believe we should start to build up our farms and all other enterprises that pay taxes to support the state government and give employment to the laborers. I believe the working man shall be well paid for honest labor, in order to properly feed, house, eat, estate and properly care for his family." In amining a candidate for the nomination for Governor on the Republican ticket, the only claims I have to present are that I have been a citizen of Kansas for thirty years and have always taken an active interest in the welfare of my home town, county and state. Having served for eight years in the State Legislature, as a member of the Senate, I hoped to pass many of the laws in the statute books. I expect to stand squarely on my record while living in that body. I may have a few mistakes, but surely that I was working to the best of the state. I do not see the need of much new law at this time on present states are number some and to lea with enactments that are obsolete and many of the mankind to enforce. There are laws that should be weighed, strengthened and made more plain, also a better interpretation of enforcement of the laws that we want have. I do that the time of the chief executive of the state could not be better employed han in meeting the people of the state, and cooperating them in pushing the cause of good laws. The legislature was liberal in help to the country schools. This liberty should continue, considering to vast army of young people who are not inclined, or cannot, enter the high schools or colleges, and every means should be given them that they may develop into the best possible citizens. This can be done without detracting in the least from the higher institutions of learning. I am a favor of a constitutional amendment providing for a tax for the support of our state educational institutions. I am sure a provision of this kind would aid to the efficiency of the splendid institutions we now have. I think the state should deal fairly with it, whether they be great corporations, farmers, small tradesmen or farmers, and the state should command and demand the respect for and compliance with all laws enacted for their control and protection Laws should be protected, and the laws acted for the protection of life and health enforced, and every possible thing done to better the condition of the man who labors on the farm in the shop, on the tathoad or in the mine. I am in favor of the impartial enforcement of all laws, and shall stand for everything that will advance the moral wellbeing of the state and keep it under high standard of citizen shop. In asking the support of the Republica at the primary election in 1912. I wish to say that I am not a candidate of any faction, but simply asking the nomination at the hands of the Republican voters of the state. I have always voted and worked or the principles embodied in the Republican platforms adopted in the past. I shall make no promises except to the public If nominated and elected, the State of Kansas shall have my best efforts during the period of my service. CHAS S. HUFTMAN. Columbus, Feb. 21, 1912. Of Mr. Haffman's candidacy, the Salina Daily Union has the following to say: The Republicans of Columbus and Cherokee county have entered Senator Charles S. Huffman in the race for the governorship of Kansas. The Union as a Democratic paper with independent prochusties has no good reason or excuse for making any extended comment on the announcement that Senator Huffman is a candidate. Unless the Democrats of the state should make a bad choice of their candidate for Governor the Union will be for the Democratic nominee. It is not unseemly, however, for that any other paper to discuss the achievements, the character and the standing of any candidate for public officers in Kansas. Senator Huffman will receive such scant consideration from the Republican press of Kansas, that is for the most part thoroughly under the domination of Stubbs and Capper, that the writer feels it a duty to an old friend and comrade to state the case of Huffman pretty fully to the readers of the Union. Charles Huffman was born in Indiana about forty-seven years ago. He moved from his native state to Charlottes county about the car 1853, when he was around eighteen years of age. He had received a good academic education in Indiana. He began his contest with circumstances in Kansas as a country school teacher. He was a good teacher, but like other able and ambitious young men he did not stay long in that business. As soon as he had saved a little money he went to St Louis, where he studied medicine in the old Missouri University Medical School, which was located there at that time. In due time he received his degree and diploma and is therefore an alumnus of the University of Missouri, which should not handicap him very greatly in his candidacy for the governorship of Kansas. In fact the election of Herbert Hadley to the governorship of Missouri in spite of the fact that he was a Kansas born and bred and educated at Lawrence in the University of Kansas, this state owes something to Missouri and it may be that here is the way to pay the bill. --- Dr. Huffman returned to Columbus with his medical education and his ambitions and settled down to the practice of his profession. The opening of the Spanish war in 1898 found him an unusually successful and prosperous physician. In his youth he had nurtured an ambition to be a soldier and on one occasion escaped an appointment to West Point only because one finger of one hand was a couple of joints short. When the Twentieth Kansas infantry was organized Huffman saw a chance to realize one of his ambitions. He volunteered his services and was commissioned as a medical officer in that famous regiment. He went to the Philippines with Punston and soon became known as a good army surgeon. The boys who served in the islands say that the ambulance corps had light work in carrying the wounded to Huffman for his administrations. This was because he was always right up near the firing line with his "first aid" outfits and his other paraphernula for the relief of any of his comrades who intercepted portions of Aguinaldo's ammunition supply with sections of their anatomy. When the Twentieth returned to this country Huffman was a captain TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 8, 1912. in the medical corps, but he was not yet ready for the paths of peace. He remained in the islands and for a year or more was attached to the Eighteenth regular infantry as one of the medical officers of that command. After more than two years hazardous service in which he always, acquitted himself with credit he returned to Columbus and re-engaged in the practice of his profession. There is a tradition that Huffman is related to a former Governor of Indiana, one Blue Jeans Williams, who was a pastmaster of all the arts political. If this legend is true it may explain the aptitude which the doctor manifested for politics just after he came back from the army. He was soon made chairman of his county central committee and in that capacity conducted the political campaigns that resulted in the Republicans gaining control of Cherokee county, which had been a Populist stronghold for ten years. Seven or eight years ago Huffman was elected to the State Senate and his work was so acceptable to his constituency that he was reelected and is now a member of that branch of the Legislature. In the Senate Captain Huffman soon developed capacity for the hard and unfortunal part of the work. He 1890 [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. SENATOR CHARLES S. HUTTMAN Candidate to Govemer served on the ways and means committee under H. B. Miller and in his second term was elected to the chairmanship of that committee. He quickly acquired a reputation as a good Senator, safe, thoughtful, earnest, and in all ways faithful to the trust reposed in him by his constituents. He soon became known as one of the real leaders of the Senate. As a Senator, Huffman kept himself free from embarrassing alliances with other of the Republican factions. If there is a man in Kansas today who enjoys more of the confidence and respect of all factions of his party than Huffman does his name and station are both unknown to this writer. More than any other man in Kansas Senator Huffman is responsible for the pure food law and for the useful and beneficial activities of the State Board of Health. He framed and secured the passage of the pure food law and he served on the State Board of Health during the years that the functions of that body were gradually crystallizing into usefulness and helpfulness for all the people of the state. Through his long service on the Senate committee on ways and means Huffman became thoroughly conversant with the business affairs of the state. No man in Kansas is more accurately informed on topics in connection with appropriations, expenditures and taxation. For the last three or four years --- tire from the practice of medicine. A couple of years ago he bought an interest in a bank in Columbus and was elected to the presidency of that institution and became its manager. His patients, however, who had learned to love and trust him, would not give him up, and although he has been a busy man in the affairs of his bank he has continued to respond to the calls of the sick without any regard to his personal convenience or to the ability of his patrons to pay their bills. Under his management the bank prospered greatly and in a short time he became known as a good banker. All this time Dr. Huffman never forgot that he had been a soldier. On his return from the islands he enlisted in the national guards and rose through the various ranks to be head of the medical department. Last winter he was made bigadher general of the bans National Guards and he still holds that position. This, then, is the man nominated by Cheloke county Republicans for the governorship of Kansas. The Union is a Democratic paper and therefore cannot support Dr. Huffman if he is nominated by his patty. But this much is true, and the Union is more than pleased to print it: Huffman [Image of a man with a hat and bow tie]. Senator Huffman has desired to rewould make a good Governor. He would work harder and talk less than any Governor the state has ever had. He is a plain, honest, persistent, hard-working business like man who has established a reputation for making good in any work that he undertakes. Unlike Capper and Ryan, who have nominated themselves for the governorship, Huffman has been nominated and besought to run by his friends, who constitute no inconsiderable part of the voting population of Kansas. He may not be nominated. The Stubbs machine and the Capper fortune are a combination that he probably can not beat, but if nominated he would be strong at the polls and might, though that contingency is unlikely this year, succeed in defeating the Democratic candidate. It looks like a Democratic year in Kansas, but if it is not and we are to have another Republican Governor, Huffman is the right sort of man for the place. Senator Huffman + responsibilities in the State Senate have included the following committee assignments: Ways and means, mines and mining, temperance and hygiene, military, affairs, penal liqitutions. Kansas CityMissouri Negro Wants to be Alderman! Theodore Smith, a Highly Educated and Successful Business Man is a Candidate in Eigeth Ward--- His Candidacy Deaths to Lily-whiteism, BAR ASSOCIATION DROPS W. H. LEWIS Falentled Negro Elected Without His Color Being Known. WICKERSHAM MAKES PROTEST Attorney General Makes a Tight for His Assistant All the Way. Washington, D.C., Feb. 29.—A decision by the executive committee of the American Bar Association to oust William H. Lewis, a Negro, and an assistant attorney general of the United States, from membership in the bar association, has imposed Attorney General Wickersham to the defense of his assistant. In a spirited letter sent to each of the 1,700 members of the association the attorney general charges the executive committee with an antigrace of power unwarranted by the body's constitution in order to gratify a race prejudice entertained by some of its members. The action of the executive committee he declares can hardly be considered to tend to "uphold the honor of the profession of the law and encourage cordial intercourse among the members of the bar. It certainly does not tend to promote the administration of justice." Copies of correspondence between the attorney general and Secretary Whitelock also accompanied Mr. Wickersham's letter. On January 21 the attorney general wrote to Mr. Whitelock. "I am especially moved to make this protest, because Mr. Lewis is an assistant attorney general of the United States, holding as he does the commission of the President of the United States issued to him, and with the advice and consent of the Senate. It may be that some of the members of the association prefer not to have a colored man as a fellow member but the constitution of the association makes no such discrimination." Mr. Whitlock replied that more other than a member of the white race had ever been elected to mem burship in the association and added We are proud to announce to the American people that the industrious colored people of I. C., Mo., have at last awakened to a sense of duty. As voters and taxpayers, they are going to act for their own best interests. The city ring of the Republic can party has for years catered to the riff-raff of the colored element, thereby giving no attention to the men who are doing things or the betterment of Kansas City, Dr. Thendore Smith, a druggist at 1301 East Eighteenth street, is the standard bearer of the people of the Eighth ward at the coming spring election in April. He says the colored people should become an asset instead of a liability in this country. The Negro should get in or get out, is the slogan he is using for all ten to come. His condition should be an economic one. He has been crippled by false leadership. He should be like the Jew—go after things that are real. He is a taxpayer, and there is no reason why he should not be represented in the various departments of the city government The average white man looks upon the Negro as a joke. He never gave him any serious consideration about anything that pertains to his elevation. It is now up to the Negro to weed his own row. He should quit looking for sympathy and get down to where common sense is needed, instead of pretension. Mr. Smith was born in Gold-boro, North Carolina, in 1873. He attended the public school of that town, thence to Boston, Mass., where he continued his education, graduating from Howard University, Washington, D. C., in he pharmaceutical course. He practiced his profession in Boston and Washington, and came to Kansas City in 1903, where he conducted three drug stores for some time. He has one among the best d- stores in the city located at umberast Eighteenth street. as the committee had elected Lewis in the belief that he was of the white race, it was felt that it could not do less than rescind its own action indictently taken. Tha committee had not decided, Mr. Whitelock added, that a Negro was ineligible for membership. The attorney general replied that in the face of such outrageous action, he would appeal to the members. Lewis was appointed by President Taft last year. He has been in charge of Indian depredations claims in the department of justice. Finally, he has been a White house caller and in attendance at the White house receptions. Fight by Wickersham Calls Case to Public Attention. Washington, D. C., Feb 29—The executive committee of the American Bar Association voted today to recond its action extending an invitation to become a member to William H. Lewis, an assistant attorney general of the United States. The bar association membership has been in turmoil ever since the election of Lewis, but the facts have just come to light through the fight the attorney general has undertaken on behalf of his assistant. Lewis was elected at a meeting of the executive committee between the annual meetings of 1910 and 1911, the election having been a perfunctory matter, as Lewis was indorsed by a majority of the local council of Massachusetts. In his application he did not state that he was an assistant attorney general. His color was not the subject of inquiry.

He is a thorough, go-ahead business man, who believe in pure active business. He has no symptoms of the dude or pretend, but is strictly business. His platform is to make Kansas City a greater Kansas City; more work for the working people. The Negro should receive a large share of the work, as he is not accorded the privileges of working in the city departments at the City Hall and in hundreds of other public places controlled by the city. He believes we ought to have Negroes at the head of street forces and in any other positions they can fill. The Negro has voted for years. Now let him point to anything that has been given that benefited the many of the race. We have 1,400 colored voters in this ward, 1,000 white Republicans and 1,200 Democrats. Now let us see if the Negro will be true to himself by putting a man in the council who will be fan to both races. Let us see if the white Republicans will vote for a colored man once in awhile instead of the Negro voting for them all the time. What has Carmean done for the people of the Eighth ward? What has he done for his colored constituents, except when it comes to drawing the color line when something was to be given out? If elected, we will give all takes an even break to make a living, so far as asking for jobs. The Plaindealer endorses a man like Smith, who has the backbone to run for an office where the Negro has the balance of power. Now let is see how many will vote for Mr. Smith. Let us see how many tall fledged men of African blood that are who will stand up and show the "Lily Whites" of Kansas City how tired they are of them.

Pastor church are feeling well, clated over the success the are had in their meeting this week and of the greatest revival ever held in Leh. We style it thus because of the great number of men that gave their hearts to the Lord. We feel only that our pastor is the right man in the right place, this being his own life and he has conceived successful revivals each year himself doing the praaching Rev. A. Moss, pastor A. M. Church, attended two able ministers for us both last meeting. We are ad to that our services attracted even the white people and our millions were a mixed multitude. The pastor praised able seminers throughout the whole week. We had never forset on the able seminers we listened to them, namely "The Dogs' Land and Hell" which was much "The Wife of a Dove" and another win "The Pale Horse and His Rider." Standing room was at a premium to hear that sermon. The meeting closed on last Sunday night, March 3. Notwithstanding the heavy carpet of snow upon the ground a large crowd came to witness the closing of the service. The pastor preached the closing sermon from Fox, Zech, 1909, subject "The Seven Evil Stones." This was, to my least, a grand effort. This is surely the year of jubilee with us, there being twenty six candidates to be in office and honour other more stakes making forty additions to the church. The young converts, member and friend presented the pastor with a neat little purse at the close of the Sunday night service, for the great work that the Lord enabled to do this year; and all there are more to follow, for we believe that the workman is worthy of his hire. We can justly feel that the church is owed to none in the grand old tate. Our pastor is modeler of one of the leading a situations in the state and he will deserve that distinction, as a proper pastor of his district and a church builder, with his wife who is also a great church worker. Outside of the pulpit his wife stands shoulder to shoulder with Bro. Gordon and we feel as members of this great Second Baptist church that if our beloved pastor's wife was admitted to the pulit pit with the righ to suffrage in her favor she might tower above him. Church collection for last Sunday, March 3rd, $18.80. We are preparing for our Easter exercises under the management of Sister Gordon and we feel assured that they will be second to none, since we are planning for a greater Second Baptist church. Rev. T. W. Green Jr. of Bell Chapel A. M. I. church, with the able assistance of his ather, Rev. T. W. Green Sr. of North Topeka, also closed a very successful revival with many happy souls being converted to Christ. The funeral services of Mr. Taylor Newman, who was killed in Kansas City while crossing the railroad track was held from Ward's Chapel A. M. K. church, last Friday at 3 o'clock, Rev Woods, the pastor, officiating, assisted by Revs. Gordon and White man. Mr. James H Butler and Miss Kathie Hughes, converts of the Second Baptist church, were united in marriage at the home of the bride's aunt, on North State street on Monday night, March 1, Rev Gordon officiating.
