TOPEKA PLAINDEALER If the People of Kansas Want More and Cheaper Gas, Get Busy and Sign the Uncle Sam Oil Co's. Petition! HELP THE UNCLE SAM OIL CO. The People Have an Opportunity to Free Themselves From the Clutches of the Oil and Gas Trust. Fourteenth Year. No. 42. If the People of HELP THE The People Have an the Clutches Over nine hundred million dollars worth of oil and gas lands are at stake, and if the people desire the benefits therefrom, it is up to them to sign this petition which will be persented to President Taft asking his assistance, which will free them from the clutches of the strongest octupus in the world, The Standard Oil Co. With the use of money and other powerful influences they have crushed the life and vitals out of every concern fostered by the people or individual, who attempted free themselves from the clutches of this powerful giant. The Uncle Sam Oil Co., is comprised of laboring people, and if President Taft will approve these leases, it not only means more oil and gas, but cheaper, and the President will beyond all doubt approve the leases of the company if enough signatures can be secured to convince him that the people want it, and feel that it will relieve them of a condition bordering on slavery. Mr. H. H. Tucker, president and general manager of the Uncle Sam Oil Co., has spent eight years fighting this octupus and he has did it single handed and alone, and spent thousands of dollars, while the people have stood idly by and howled that the corporations controlled everything. Now he is asking them to lend a hand and assist in throttling this monster. The octupus and allied forces are using every known means to prevent the approval of the Uncle Sam leases, and an appeal to the President is the people's only hope, and if the President is assured that the people, and not the gang desires that same be approved he will grant it gladly. The Uncle Sam Oil Co., is thoroughly established with headquarters at Kansas City, Kan., and the officers and directors are duty bound to keep out of the hands of the trust, as the by-laws and constitution is so framed as to render it impossible. Now for more and cheaper oil and gas and the only way to secure it is by signing the petition to President Taft, thus assuring him that the people want it. What The Plaintealer admires about the Uncle Sam Oil Co., is any poor man can purchase stock, and not be "assessed" out of the thing by the big fellows. No matter how small your investment no person has any bigger say than another. President Taft will do right if not deceived by subordinates in whom he trusts, but who are controlled by the Oil Trust, evidently without the knowledge of President Taft. Leases and contracts covering 36,600 acres of rich oil and gas land in the Osage Indian Reservation, in Oklahoma have been secured by a Kansas City Company. The approval of the leases mean a plentiful supply of cheap gas through Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri for at least fifteen years and maintenance and perpetuation of an independent oil company with a through pipe line to this great oil and gas field, which will keep the price of gasoline and other products from reaching an almost prohibitive point, and supply fuel oil for Kansas industries. This is a proposition that affects the HIGH COST OF LIVING and is of vital interest to every household: As usual, the manipulators of the corrupt outlawed Oil and Gas Trust will fight the approval of these equitable leases, because their approval and development means that the general public will have the benefit of real competition in oil and gas, two of the necessaries of our modern civilization. It sounds big, but it the truth. The approval of these leases to an independent oil company will mean that over $900,000,000.00 of oil and gas value will go to a real competitor of the Oil and Gas Trust. Therefore, these leases and their approval represent a transaction of such magnitude that no one should be surprised to find that the corrupting influence of the oil trust reaches and controls subordinates of President Taft, on whom he feels that they he may confidently rely, not knowing that they are thus reached and controlled. The recent disclosures in the Senate show that the Oil Trust attempted to purchase the influence of the President in 1904, by a donation of at least $125,000 to the campaign fund. If it will attempt to purchase the Presidency, will it hesitate to purchase and control the subordinates on whom the President relies for information and advice? If this vast sum can be secured for the Oil and Gas Trust, it could issue "certificates of deposit" to those who did its bidding, in such large amounts as would make those of recent disclosures appear entirely insignificant. Will the Oil and Gas Trust be permitted to "Guggenheim" this great oil and gas field right here at the doors of Kansas, while we spend our time talking about Alaska and the corruption of distant cities? Sign and circulate this petition to President Taft at once. Let him know that you will help hold up the hands of an honest President, who, even in the heat of a campaign, will personally investigate for himself, free from the influence of those surrounding him, and what is right, even though his action should deprive the Oil Trust of oil and gas value of the enormous sum of $900,000,000 and turn it to a competitor of the Oil Trust in the interest of the people. POLITICAL SIDE OF KANSAS! Manager Griffin Sizes up the Candidates from a Nonpartisan Standpoint. RENO COUNTY. Hon. Geo. A. Neeley of Hutchinson, congressman of the Seventh district has made good, and asks the support of all believers in justice and fair play. Mr. Neeley was elected last January to fill out the unexpired term of Congressman Madison, who died, and though only a few months in that body, Mr. Neeley took hold like an old timer, and went after the things that would benefit the district and the state at large, and his success is pointed to with a finger of pride by every fairminded man, woman and child in the district. He is a young man full of get-up-and-get—an able lawyer and a bold and fearless champion of the rights of man, and will fight to the last ditch for any cause that appeals to him as being TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING OCTOBER 18, 1912. night. Every vote cast by Mr. Neeley in congress has been on the side of the people and against the money changers and sharks of Wall Street. He was elected by the people and has proven true to every trust placed in him, and his brief record in Congress has made him solid with Republicans, Socialists and Prohibitionists throughout the district, and many of them are going to skip over to the Democratic column and make a cross in the little square at the right of the name of the people's friend and champion, Geo. A. Neeley. Mr. Neeley is a man unblinded by prejudice and broad and liberal in his political views, and any measure that is for the uplift and advancement of the common people has a strong champion in him regardless of its political label. The people are familiar with these fine qualities and are going to keep him in the forefront. Carl A. Richardson, Republican candidate for clerk of the district court is well qualified and deserving of the position which he seeks and if elected will give the people a good, clean honest administration. He has the endorsement of the leading attorneys of the county and the people should vote for him. Hon. Samuel Gallup, justice of the peace, Hutchinson, is a candidate for re-election. He has made one of the best officials that the city ever had and enforces the laws to the letter without fear on favor. Mr. Gallup has resided in Hutchinson for twenty-four years in the employ of the Santa Fe railroad as stenographer and clerk for eight years and was elected justice of the peace two years ago by a handsome majority over four other candidates. He is a staunch friend of the colored people which he has proven on many occasions. We commend him to our large family of readers at Hutchinson as the right man to vote for on Nov. 5. Hon, Charles S. Fulton, of Hutchinson, candidate for probate judge is a life-long Republican. He is a graduate of the Hutchinson High school and also of the law department at K. U. and was admitted to the bar before the supreme court in 1905. He has been assistant in the office of the Probate Judge since July 1st, 1907 filling the duties with credit to himself and party. The office is one of the most important offices in the gift of the people and the people should take great care in selecting a man for this important office who will perform the duties of this office without fear or favor. He has resided in Reno County for twenty-five years and is familiar with the duties of the office and business of estates now in process of administration. A vote for Charles S. Fulton for Probate Judge is a vote for the right man in the right place, a man who will perform his duty and a man who will devote his time to the duties of his office. ALLEN COUNTY M. G. Robinson, of Iola, Democratic candidate for county commissioner. Second district is a good, level headed gentleman and would make good in this important office. Mr. Paul Klien, the well known business man and lumber dealer, is a candidate for state senator, Fourteenth district. He is an old timer, and success has rewarded every effort in his long business career and if selected to make laws for the people he would use the same care and sound business judgment that characterizes his personal affairs. Kansas' greatest need in her law-making bodies is more business men and less professional politicians and when this is done the people will re- ceive some recognition in the way of good laws. Mr. Klien is a splendid gentleman, and if Allen County sends him to the legislature, he will go there with a stuffed club for business, and will secure some laws that will assist the common people. Hon. J. W. Hamm, Democratic candidate for representative has resided in this county since 1878, where he entered the newspaper business and later went on a farm near Humboldt. He is a real live wire and a progressive. He believes in a square, fair deal for every man. Mr. Hamm was born in Clarion county Illinois, Feb. 22, 1865 and settled in Kansas at an early age and knows every want and need of the people. He has been president of the Allen County Farmers' Institute for fifteen years, which in itself is a splendid endorsement of his fitness and worth not only to the people of his community, but the state at large. ATCHISON COUNTY. W. W. Guthrie of Atchison, candidate for County Atarney, should receive the support of every voter in that county. He is competent and can be relied upon by the taxpayers to do the right thing. Everybody work and vote for W. W. Guthrie for County Attorney. Judge Adams is candidate for reelection of Probate Judge of Atchison, Kansas. He is an old soldier, loyal Republican and a respected citizen. He is now serving his first term and deserves the vote of all the voters of the county. Hon. W. W. Guthrie, candidate for County Attorney, is one of the best lawyers in the state. He is young, strong and vigorous and has the education, knowledge and ability to give the people an administration of which they will feel proud. He is an active Republican, and those who support him will have nothing to resist. With the colored people he stands, are high, and will receive their loyal support. --- Mr. J. W. Orr, of Atchison, Ks. is Democratic candidate for the legislature from the Second district. Mr. Orr is one of the most distinguished lawyers in the West, and was leader in the last meeting of the House. He was on several committees and recommended several bills which were enacted into law and are now on the statutes. He was the author of the general drainage law, which has caused the reclamation of several thousand acres of land by the people of Kansas. One of the leading candidates and politicians of Atchison County and whose name has now become the household word of every family of Atchison is Mr. Ernest N. Underwood Republican candidate for county treasurer for second term at the next November election. Mr. Underwood is very popular all over the state of Kansas and makes friends with everybody he meets and his many friends say they will never be contented until he is holding a good position at the State Capitol at Topeka. He is one of the men of Atchison who does things and he can be relied upon at all times to do what is best for the community and the upbuilding of of that great city of Atchison. He is honest, upright and conscientious young man. Everybody should vote for him and you may stake your reputation that his majority will be as much as his opponents votes. Comrad M. Voelker, Republican candidate for county clerk, is a young man who was born and reared on a farm. He has been nominated by the Republican party for county clerk of Atchison. He is a native son of that county and his father bears the title of "Cabbage King," of Kansas, who can produce more of the best cabbage to the acre than any other grower in the state. This young man is 21 years of age and came direct from the farm to the office of county clerk, where he served almost four years as deputy. He has had full charge of the office for more than two years, from the fact that the County Clerk, Mr. Iverson, has not given much time to the office, but has left it entirely so this young man, who has given it the very best attention to and entire satisfaction of the peo- ```markdown ``` JUDGE W. H. THOMPSON, Who if elected U. S. Senator, will prove Kansas Still in line for justice and decency as against fraud and deceit. ple of Atchison County. Therefore it is no more than right to encourage a young man who has worked and gone to school to prepare himself for such a position. He is honest, upright and sober and treats everybody with politeness. Mr. Voelker is a graduate of Midland College and on one occasion represented his school in an oratorical contest at Salma, Kan. At the primaries he carried all the prescints in the county except three and beat his opponent two to one. He expects his majority to be more than 1000 at the general election. --- J. B. Chapman, who is running for Congress, in the First Congressional district is a Progressive Democrat and should receive the votes of all progressives. He is a friend of the colored man and should receive the votes for all colored man who believe in progressive measures. He will appreciate their votes, greatly because he believes that the colored race should progress, and be, if elected, will all he can to make it possible for the colored race to advance as rapidly as possible. The colored people are thinking more and more and old party lines are not holding them bound to any man or clique of men as in the past. You can make no mistake in voting for Mr. Chapman of Atchison, for Congress. HARVEY-MC PHERSON Mr. L. M. Simpson, Republican candidate for state senator (Thutteith district), is a man of high standing; a thorough gentleman, thinker and business man. He is an old resident of McPherson County, where he resides on his farm. It is McPherson county's turn to select the candidate for state senator for this district, and we along with a legend of good, same sound-minded lot of people feel and believe that the proper plan has been located in the person of Mr. Simpson. His honor and integrity are above approach; stands every test, and elected, which he should be, he will give the people the best there is in him. Personally he is courteous, kind and polite and believes that others have rights that should be respected. --- Mark P. Cretcher, the general editor of the Sodgwick Pantagraph, is a splendid follow and capable of representing the Hawey-M'Pherson district in the state senate. He is a Democrat of the progressive type and alive to the wants and needs of the people and if elected to this important office will do his best. Mr. Cretcher is not a Democrat of the hide-bound variety, but believes in the rights of the people to rule. COWLEY COUNTY. Mr. Ed. J. Fleming, one of the brightest and best lawyers in Kansas has been nominated on the Republican ticket for county attorney, and a failure to elect him would be a glaring mistake. The business of the county requires the close attention of a good, keen lawyer—one who will use the same care and attention that he would employ in personal affairs, and Mr. Fleming is the man who can and will do it. Don't make a mis- Circulation 9,000 Guaranteed Price $1.50 Per Year. take by electing a plug lawyer, for in Mr. Fleming everyone knows that he possesses the brains and ability and will deliver the goods. L, I. King, Democratic candidate for state senator is making a hot fight for this important place. His record is clean and clear, and if you are not familiar with his standing, he cheerfully refers you to your neighbor. Mr. King is a man with a head of his own and if honored by the people would not be hampered by any clique or ring. PRATT Mr. Walter F. Brown, of Darlington township, asks your support for the office of county treasurer. Mr. Brown is by no means a politician nor has he ever held a county office. He is a plain straightforward, honest gentleman, worthy of any trust that might be bestowed upon him. The calls upon the county treasurer are numerous and it requires a man of foresight and ability to guard and protect the people's cash and keep them on the safe side of the ledger. Mr. Brown possesses all of these qualifications and if elected will make good. He is a Democrat of the progressive type and a believer in the rights of the people. COWLEY COUNTY L. P. King, Democratic candidate for State Senator, has resided in Winfield thirty-five out of the forty-nine years he has spent in Kansas. He is a farmer and knows the wants and needs of the laboring people and if elected, would put forth every effort to secure legislation that would assist the common people. He is a splendid fellow, and will run like a scared jack rabbit at the coming election. AMERANSAS CITY The Democrats of the Fiftieth representative district showed wisdom when they nominated Mr. A. S. Gibson for state representative. He is a retired farmer, and thoroughly familiar with the condition and need of the people. Among the good things that would receive his close attention is the repeal of the present outrageous tax law. Mr. Gibson is a fine gentleman and if elected, the people will have no cause to regret it. HUMBOLDE. Mr. Louis B. Hess, the well known and popular druggist, is a candidate for the office of clerk of the district court. He is one of those broad minded Democrats who places the rights of the people above party, and if elected will give the taxpayers a money-saving administration. He is an expert bookkeeper—careful and painstaking, thus making him well equipped for the office he seeks. The People's Choice for State Senator, Hon. H. P. Sutton of St. John, Kansas, Who Will Be Elected Nov. 5, 1912. Hon. H. P. Sutton, candidate for State Senator from Stafford, Barton and Rice Counties on the Democratic ticket is a pioneer of this section who first settled here in 1887. He worked on a farm and later attended college at Great Rend. For several years he farmed and taught school. He was elected clerk of the District Court and before his last term expired he engaged in the abstract, real estate and farm loan business and is now engaged in the real estate and farm loan business in St. John, Kansas. There is no man better qualified for State Senator than Mr. Sutton. He is a self made man and a man who has made success in life and great friend to the working man because he has traveled the rounds of the ladder and knows the wants of the people. A man who makes a success of his private business is the proper man to administrate the affairs of the people. Mr. Sutton is a man just in the prime of life, a man easy to approach and unassuming in his manner and a man of great executive ability and will be a valuable man to have in the coming legislature. A man of these qualifications we recommend to our many readers to vote for on Nov. 5th for State Senator. He is clean and honest and upright and stands well in his community. In traveling over the district we find that the colored people are standing by him because they know him and know him to be the right man for State Senator. PASSING COMMENT BY JOHN M. DORSEY. If you can't live right and you are aware of the fact that you can't do not try to make people believe that you do try to live right. In other words don't be a deceiver, and people will respect you for what you are. A certain W. L. Bass, who prides himself on being an expert on sugar, seems to think that Senator Jos. L. Bristow is but a boob in the hands of the sugar combine, and it would appear that from what he says Bristow has had a hand in the "barrel" of alush funds so lavishly strewed around. It has always been said that money makes the mare go, and it is not unlikely that money makes the man talk loudly sometimes. "Live in the sweat of the face" was evidently not issued for all the people to obey, for there are a lot of us who never work and never will, and these drones manage to get about as much out of the barrel of plenty as the fellows who work, and it has been a puzzle to the workers how these loafers live, and even the police can find no evidence as to how these vampires get by, but there is an old saying that a sucker is born every hour and there is also a hook baited and set to trap these suckers as soon as they are old enough to nibble. --- The Topeka Daily Capital has got to be so self-righteous in the past few days that it can distinguish between right and wrong, and is making a desperate attempt to discredit the Taft Republican League workers by terming them "Gold Dust Twins," but it forgets that its editor is running for the high office of governor on one ticket and supporting the candidates and platform of another party that is exerting every known and unknown power in political trickery to encompass the defeat of the party on whose ticket he has the unmitigated gail to have his name. When Capper has cleaned his own house it will be proper tame then for him to set out to clean others' houses. The white people are busy night and day to secure the adoption of the woman's suffrage amendment to the state constitution, but the colored people don't even discuss the matter. Before voting to make this a law in Kansas every colored man and woman should see to it that the white women make some specific pledge that they will recognize the colored women as a component part of the body politic when it comes to the emoluments of office, and give the white women to understand that this is not a boon for their own benefit. You have only a few more days in which to do this and if it is not promised you in black and white every colored man in Kansas should vote against this proposition. Now is the time and not wait until it has become a law. If we do not demand our rights we are sure never to get them. Bishop J. W. Hood, senior bishop of the A. M. E. Zion church, is one of the strong advocates of the re-election of President Taft, and he sets forth some very sensible reasons why the colored people should be loyal to the present chief executive. Among other things he says: "Mr. Taft has shown a special interest in the fifteenth article of the constitution (not I presume) because he regards it as more important that other articles, but because it is a special object of attack by the enemies of the constitution. As a wise general he is careful to watch the effects of the enemy, and guard the point of attack. No other President has shown the interest that he has in that particular article." Some of the opponents of President Taft admit that while he has done the very thing claimed by Bishop Hood, profess to believe that so far as we are concerned that the fifteenth amendment is a dead letter. Did these said "professors" ever stop to think that sensible people never shoot dead dogs? If this amendment is a dead letter why so many attempts to repeal it by our enemies? Former Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, that matchless statesman who was crucified on the altar of hatred because he dared to defend our race against injustice, has this to say to us now: "It is the duty of every loyal, self-respecting Afro-American in the nation to rally to the support of the Republican party and vote it ticket, from President Taft at the head of it, down to the last man on the county ticket." This advice is worth its weight in radium of the paper it is written on, but unluckily, out here in Kansas we are unable to go the full limit of this most excellent advice for the reason that we have on our Taft ticket some highway robbers who are masked in the robes of republicanism who are seeking to gain enough strength in that costume to dethrone the Republican party and usurp unto themselves the vested rights of the party that the game may be delivered over to the enemy which is seeking to destroy the g. o. p. But every Negro in his right senses will stand by those men on the Republican ticket who are with the national party nominees and the platform of the party, but those men of our race who have no self-respect, no conscientious scruples as to what is justice or injustice will be found wandering on the outside of the party fold seeking some new excuse every day for their claims to follow the Bull Moose. --- Gov. Stubbs once called Henry Allen a grafter and said that he was unfit to be on the State Board of Charities; Allen accused Stubbs of "planting" whiskey in strong Methodist communities in his (Allen's) name to defeat him for Congress a few years ago; Victor Murdock said of Theodore Roosevelt two years ago "That faker will never dare to run again;" Bristow said that Chester I. Long could not be the friend of the people because he was a friend of one tico. W. Perkins; what Roosevelt said about Bristow when he fired him as fourth assistant postmaster-general would send anyone to jail for sending obscene literature through the mail if it was written or printed and enclosed in an envelope and deposited in the case of Uncle Sam; and what Stubbs said about Leland and what Leland said about Stubbs would make a book that criminals could not read without blushing for shame, but it seems that either these fellows were lying about each other at that time, or else they are now half choked on "old crow" which they had to eat, for Stubbs, Allen, Bristow, Leland, Murdock, Perkins and Roosevelt are now all hobbling together and singing to the people "Oh, How Good Are We!" It would be music in our ears to hear Stubbs tell when Allen became pious; hear Allen tell where Stubbs got the whiskey he planted; to hear Murdock tell when Roosevelt ceased to be a faker; to hear Bristow tell when Mr. Perkins was transformed into a friend of the people; to hear Roosevelt tell when Bristow was restored to the good graces of his master, the "Bull Moose," and when Cy Leland and W. R. Stubbs admitted to the people that each had led when they had their battle of inventives four years ago. When these things have been made plain to the general public then we can see where they can have excuse to come into fellowship one with the other. Kindly inform us. CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO Rev. I. Chanley attended the annual conference at Kirkwood. Rev. W. W. Russell, pastor of the Baptist church, has been engaged by the Republican National Speakers bureau to speak in national politics in this campaign and he will make some stemwinders along that line. Mrs. N. H. Kener, grand matron of the Grand Court of Missouri and jurisdiction, was in the city recently on official work of the order. The great drama.

Morris Drug Company, "O Medicine for Each Jill," "NO CURE ALL" AFRO-AMERICANS AT WHITE HOUSE Race Fares Well Under Taft Administration. Twenty-seven Colored Employees Place of Custodian Created For Major (New Lieutenant Colonel) Arthur Brooks, National Guard of the District of Columbia—His Commission Signed by President Teft. When Mr. Taft became president March 4, 1800, there were six colored messengers and laborers employed in the executive office. In the reorganization of the office in 1811 two were transferred to positions in the departmental service. One was attested with tuberculosis, and the president had him transferred to a good position in the war department in New Mexico on advice of his physician. Since the president's inauguration three colored employees have been added-Major Arthur Brooks, commanding First Separate battalion, N. G. D. C., for whom the place of custodian was created; William Pannell and Harry L. Mickey. In the executive mansion the following Afro-Americans, in addition to several others who are still on the rolls, were employed at the time the president came into office: Messa, Duncan, Amos, Brent, Reeder and Pinckney, Mr. Duncan was transferred to the treasury department at an increased salary, Mr. Brent was transferred as a clerk to the city postoffice at an increased salary, Mr. Reeder was transferred to the state department. Mr. Pinckney was given a good place in the executive office, and Mr. Amos was given a good place in New York. All of those places were filled by the president with colored men. In addition the president appointed the following Afro American employees at the executive mansion: W. W. Brown J. W. Mays, S. C. Jackson, L. C. Peters and Miss Annie Brooks. When the president came into office there were five colored cochmen and hostlers at the White House stable. On account of changing from carriages to automobiles, chauffeurs and footmen were employed, but places were found in the departments for four of theseunch men and hostlers and the other voluntarily accepted a position in New York. There are on the regular payroll of the executive office six colored employees whose salaries aggregate $6,500 per annum. On the regular payroll of the executive mansion there are twenty colored employees whose annual salaries aggregate $11,502. One colored employee in the White House garage receives a salary of $750 per annum. A number of colored men and women are employed for duty at functions during the social season and their pay in the aggregate amounts to more than $1,000. The total amount paid to Afro-Americans at the White House is nearly $20,000 per annum. After twenty five years of faithful service as the commanding officer of a battalion of the national guard of the District of Columbia, Major Arthur Brooks has recently been retired with the rank of lieutenant counsel. His commission was signed by President Taft. Lieutenant Colonel Brooks is still on duty as custodian at the White House. FOR HIGHER EDUCATION. President Taft Says It Is Essential to Full Development. For a while you will need to learn where abon is a bit different who talks about the waste in teaching men of all ages the curtain of an art institution instead of being in to the university the can be made that they should be sent to manual training institutes. Such a man has never thought deeply on the subject and does not understand that as a race which is driving onward and upward you need many who shall be leaders men who shall pursue in the lented professions, many of them as physicians, as lawyers and especially as ministers. Race Has High Ideals. I believe in the higher education of the race so that the leaders of the African American people may have high ideals, and I believe they have. I believe that they subscribe to principles some others in our community life do not to the minority of the law and have to respect for constituted authority. (Justly all places) and for our institutions in society. (Justly all places) President left at Howard Kind President Laft appointed an Afro- American to the highest appointive of the new government by the race. DISFRANCHISEMENT. President Taft Deserves Much Credit For the Defeat of the Nafarious Schemes of Maryland Democrats. The Republican party wrote into the organic law the declaration which proclaims the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people. The Democratic party has enacted in the southern states, which it controls, laws which, by means of various devices, are really aimed at the disfranchisement of the race for reasons of color alone. Three attempts have been made by the Democrats of Maryland to disfranchise the colored voters of that state. The Maryland Republicans have stood solidly against every attempt at disfranchisement, and in two of these rights which have occurred since Mr. Taft's election as president, they have had his active support. In December, 1908, just after Mr Taft had been elected and before he had been inaugurated, in answer to a letter of the Hon William F. Stone, collector of the port of Baltimore, for the purpose of obtaining his views, the president made the following reply: Taft Opposes Disfranchisement. "My Dear Mr. Stone—I have your letter of Dec. 9, but have not been able to answer it until now. I don't think any one can read my North Carolina speech with any care and on that base the belief that I would favor such a bill as that proposed in Maryland. The provision that the first class of eligible voters shall be those persons who on the 1st day of January in the year 1800, or prior thereto, were entitled to vote under the laws of Maryland or any other state of the United States wherein they then resided, and that the male descendants of such persons as a second class, shall be entitled to vote, was intended to exempt the persons thus unde eligible from the educational or property qualifications which follow in the descriptions of the fifth and sixth classes of persons who shall be entitled to vote. "The same thing may be said of the third and fourth classes, which include foreign born citizens of the United States naturalized between Jan. 1, 1860, and the date of the adoption of the proposed section and the male descendants of such mentioned persons. This is in order to exempt such immigrants and their descendants from educational or property qualifications. "Now we know the first four classes include no Negroes at all. In other words, it is intended to free the whites from educational or property qualifications, but to subject all Negroes to them. "The whole law ought to be condemned. It is not drawn in the spirit of justice and equality, having regard for the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and I sincerely hope that no publican who desires equality of treatment to the black and white races will vote for it. Sincerely yours, The Afro-American and His Debt to the Republican Party. If the Afro American citizen recalls the past he must acknowledge that every privilege he has in this country came to him at the hands of the Republican party. The Democrat opposed every proposition looking toward his welfare during the long struggle over the Negro question in the years following the slaveholders' rebellion. The history of the United States tells a conclusive story on these points: Freedom, manhood, education, suffrage, opportunity, were given by the party of which Taft and Sherman are the standard bearers. To the Democratic party the race owes 250 years of slavery, peonage, disfranchisement, Jim Crowism, lynching, curtailment of educational facilities, segregation, humiliation and degradation. NO CLASS LEGISLATION. I emphasize as my party's creed and my faith that in legislation and administration favor should be extended to no class, no sect, no race. To foster class hatred, to foster discontent, is un-Republican and un-American. Our party stands on the declaration that all men are created with equal rights, and it will have no part in the enactment or execution of any law that does not apply alike to all good American citizens.—Vice President Sherman. Extract From Republican Platform. The Republican party reaffirms its intention to uphold the integrity of the courts, both state and federal, and it will ever insist that their powers to enforce their processes and to protect life, liberty and property shall be preservediolate. We call upon the people to quicken their interest in public affairs, to condemn and punish lynchings and other forms of lawlessness and to strengthen in all possible ways a respect for law and an observance of it. In Cuba the Afro American soldiers astonished the world by their bravery and coolness under fire. They were fighting to free the beautiful island from the Spanish joke. It was a Republican president, McKinley, who commissioned 200 men of the race to lead their men to battle. The progress of the Afro American people in fifty years of freedom has been greater than that of any other race similarly environed recorded in history. A great deal of this progress should be credited to the Republican party. Graham Retreat Rooms and Board. W. W. GRAHAM, Prop. 187 E. 18th St. Kansas City, Mo.

The attempt to assassinate ex-President Roosevelt is keenly felt’ throughout the civilized world, and the prayers of this great nation goes out for his speedy recovery, The assassination of (hee of the nations’s greatest — presi- dents and the attempt (o take the life of a man who twice served the nation in that capac- ity, arouses the blood of every Joyal, true, patriotic American, black and white, and it ix a pity that the law is such that John Schrank can't dangle at the end of a rope or make his evit via an electric chair. VOTES FOR WOMEN The Plaindealer has always thought favorably of equal suf- frage, and now that we have a chance to prove our loyalty and faith in American womanhood, no man should be so blinded by prejudice as to refuse to grant them this right. The nation is alive with millions of white and black women who are just as capable of voting intelligently on all matters as any man, and since they have to be governed by the same laws, it is but just and fair that they be given the right to say who shall admini- ster the,laws, Woman suffrage is one of the great fundemental principles of freedom, and we hope to see it ushered in by a good, big vote, | _ A few days ago the white peo- ple of Rawlins, Wyo., were in a crazy moad to lynch a Negro “accused” of acrime, Under the guise of putting this de- fenseless man in a place of safe- ty he was turned Into a den of thugs, thleves and murderers, where he was lynched to the glory and editication of the citi- zens in general, But retribu- tion was soon upon them and to- day their hearts are bowed down in misery and woe over the antics of the same band of thugs, thieves and murderers which they had so lately praised and cheered, Encouraged by the citizens for their dastardly work in defying law and order these Wyoming convicts started out in a trail of blood for free- dom, The citizens who praised and cheered them for this work in lynching a defenseless Negro were the first to receive similiar doses of the same medicine from these outlaws, They soon were howling like demons for the governor to send the militia to their nid, and men, women and children dared not close their eyes in slumber for fear that death would seal them while they slept.

We have been informed that Mrs. Stanford King, the wealthy and prominent widow of Excellent Springs, Mo, also proprietor of the King hotel of that city, has been married to a prominent gentleman of St. Louis, Mo, Mr. White. We have not been reliably informed, therefore cannot give the particulars at this time. The Plaindealer wishes them a happy voyage through life, and their future life crowned with many blessings. Mrs. King is quite a business woman and her many friends will be proud to know she is married and hope her condition is bettered. The many islands of Mr. J. Buchanan of Great Bend, will be proud to learn of his continued success in life. We was married last Thursday evening at Great Bend, Kansas to Mrs. Petle Williams, one of Barton County's most highly respected young ladies. Mrs. Williams comes from a highly respected family and stands high in the community in which she has lived most of her life. The ceremony was performed by the probate judge and the couple left immediately for a honeymoon trip, coming to Tupelo, where they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Morton, 1026 Washington Avenue. Mr. Bucharan is one of the wealthy farmers of Western Kansas. He owns 520 acres of well improved wheat land. He has about 200 acres in wheat this year. He also owns two valuable pieces of property in town. His farm is well stocked with horses, cattle, hogs and poultry. Mrs. Buchanan formerly lived in Ohio and came to Kansas over thirty-three years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Moten entertained the bride and groom at their home last Friday evening. A six course dinner was served, consisting of all the delicacies of the season. The home was beautifully decorated and the wedding match was played by Miss Lucrecia Jackson, daughter of Prof. Jackson. The procession was headed by the bride and groom and they marched through the parlor and sitting room to the dining room where everybody drank a cup of chocolate and toasted to the bride and groom, wishing them a long and happy future.
