SIMON No county in the state has a more faithful, honest, conscientious official than Judge Ernest R. Simon, county attorney of Shawnee County. He is a young man, bold and fearless in the performance of his duty, and richly deserves the support of every law abiding citizen. He knows the law and plays no favorites; all violators thereof must suffer alike. Give him the well earned second term. DR. CHAS. S. HUFFMAN FOR STATE SENATOR. Cherokee County Will Elect Him by Large Majority—Will Give County and State Many Needed Reforms. On Tuesday, November 5th, 1912, the voters of this district will be called upon to elect a member of the highest law-making body in the state. Great care and pains should be exercised in the selection of such a man and his qualifications to form measures that will give the needed relief. There is no man better fitted for this important office than Dr. Chas. S. Huffman of Columbus. He is eminently qualified and knows the wants and needs of the people and if elected will do all in his power to secure only such legislation that will benefit all alike. Heretofore the Kansas Senate has overlooked the great mass of tax burdened wage earners, offering no relief, but, if the people will do their duty and elect Dr. Huffman, he will land in the state house with a stuffed club for business, and work for the people's interest. Dr. Huffman is a stand Republican, and always on the firing line to do battle for his party and the whole people. His platform has the correct ring—just what the people want and have needed for all these many years, and through him it can be obtained. What better platform can be found anywhere than the following: "I am in favor of strictest economy in County and State affairs. "I am in favor of abolishing the fee system, placing all County Officers on a salary basis, and turning in fees to the County Treasury. "I am in favor of a recording mortgage tax. "I am in favor of amendments to our road law." Your opportunity to secure a representative who will do things is before you, and it is your duty to vote and work for the election of Dr. Chas. S. Huffman. CHEROKEE COUNTY Mr. J. H Ellis, probate and juvenile judge, has proven the right man in the right place, and he should be reelected by a majority that will prove the appreciation and gratitude of the people for his splendid service in this office. The office of probate judge has to do with our property and children, therefore a man who has made good as has Mr. Ellis should receive the beauty endorsement of the people. His efforts have been untiring—always exercising the greatest care in the performance of his duty, and giving each and all a square, fair deal. He has been a father to the orphan and destitute children and a protector of the widows. Mr. Ellis is a staid Republican and your vote and support means protection for the widows and orphans of the county. FRED HILLER. Candidate for County Treasurer. I used Hiller came from Illinois to Chelobue county in 1872. In 1876 he located on a farm four miles north of Columbus, and has been there ever since. As a fairmet (which is his only occupation) Mr. Hiller has been very successful, applying business methods to all transactions in connection with the farm. As county treasurer the past year, Mr. Hiller has applied the same careful business methods to that office as he would to the conduct of his private affairs, and has noted needed reforms in the office which he will endeavor to have corrected by legislation. Mt. Hiller has the absolute confidence and respect of all who know him, and those who know him best have the greatest confidence in his honesty and fairness, and if he was elected president today, he would be the same Fred Hiller, tomorrow and every day thereafter. Mt. Hiller is on the Democratic ticket, and has many friends and supporters among the coloured people. He has always been a friend to the race whether a candidate for office or not, and the many friendly counteries shown them in the past has won a warm, place in their hearts. He is O.K. --- SEDGWICH COUNTY Mr. Chas. D. Fazel is asking the voters for a second term as clerk of the district court on the Republican ticket. He is a man of high integrity and exceptional business ability which he has demonstrated during the past two years in this important office, and a change at this time would show poor judgment and be deeply regreted in the end. The clerk of the district court is an office that requires care, judgment and training, and when the people have a good man, why waste time and money on experiments—keep the man who has served you well in the past and is willing to do so in the future. Mr. Frazel is a steadfast Republican and has many worm personal friends and supporters among men of all parties who are actively supporting him. Speaking of Mr. Frazel, one of the county's most esteemed citizens and also ex-county treasurer, Mr. E. Webb says: "Mr. Frazel has made good; give him a second term." Nough said! Put a shoulder to the wheel and give him a good, big boost. HON. E. H. WELLS, DEMOCRAT Desires to Serve the People as Justice of the Peace. Hon. E. H. Wells, justice of the peace, is a candidate for re-election. He has resided in the city for more than twenty-five years. During his term of office, he has made one of the best officials the city can boast of, and enforces the laws without fear or on favor. Mr. Wells is an ardent friend of the colored people and deserves your support. Don't fail to vote for him on Nov. 5th. Advt. We are sure you will not forget to vote for Hon. G. W. Hendricks, of probate judge of Labette county. He is an upright, honest man and deserves the position and your support. Adv. HON, FRANK M. BRADY. Democratic Candidate for Congress man,Third District. There is no man in the state better qualified for congressman from the Third district than Hon. Frank M. Brady, of Oswego. He is a man lost in the prime of life, possessing such business qualities, remarkable executive ability and strict integrity, as to merit his election to congress. A man who makes a success of his own private business should administrate the affairs of the people. He is clean, honest, upright and unprojeced. While traveling through the district, we find that the colored people are standing up for him because they know what he has done and will do for them if he only given a chance. We most heartily recommend him to our many readers to vote on Nov. 5th for Hon. Frank M. Brady for congressman from the Third district. Advt.

High, Assessor ..... J. W. Blinkerhoff, Com. 2d Dist. ..... W. B. Lomas. SHAWNEE COUNTY. The voters of Shawnee county will be called upon to contest the election of Judges Dana and Whitcomb. These two jurists have distinguished themselves so honestly and fair that they are in harmony with everybody in the faction of the various parties of Shawnee county. While one sits in the south wing of the court house and the other in the north, they never fail to look to the east and throw light on all subjects pertaining to justice. We are pleased to note that they are the only candidates for the judiciary in the United States that have no opposition. They work hard and earn every dollar that the state pays them. They work early and late and can only spend a few hours at church on Sunday, whereby they get inspiration to give out justice. One vote will relect these gentlemen for another term. 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 fan-minded man, woman and child in the district. He is a young man full of get-up-and-get an able lawyer and a hold and fearless champion of the rights of man, and will fight to the last ditch for any cause that appeals to him as being 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 or favor. Mr. Gallup has resided in Hutchinson for twenty four years in the employ of the Santa Fe railroad as stenographer and clock 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 reader at Hutchinson as the right man to vote for on Nov. 5. Hon. Charles 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. P. 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. 0 HARVEY-MCPHERSON Mr. L. M. Simpson, Republican candidate for state senator Thirtieth 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 Circulation 9,000 Guaranteed Price $1.50 Per Year. for state senator for this district, and we, along with a legend of good, sane sound-minded lot of people feel and believe that the proper man has been located in the person of Mr. Simpson. His honor and integrity are above approach; stands every test, and if 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. Mack P. Cretcher, the genial editor of the Sedgwick Pantagraph, is a splendid fellow and capable of representing the Harvey-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. JUDGE THOMPSON IN LEAD Kansans Lining up for Him in Every Section of the State. Judge W. H. Thompson, Democratic nominee for United States Senator, is ably fitted to represent Kansas in the upper house of Congress, and will be an honor and a credit to himself and his constituents. No selfish motives will actuate him in the pressures that will of necessity come before him for consideration, but the welfare of the general public will always be conserved. Prejudice is not one of his attributes, and his aim and object will be to secure the greatest good for the greatest number, and all his actions will be based upon justice and fair dealing to all mankind. ANDERSON COUNTY Mr. C. T. Richardson, of Garnett, is making the race for county attorney on the Democratic ticket. He comes before he voters with a good, clean record, having served in the office before and made an enviable record for dealing out exact justice to all and at the same time tempered with as much consideration to the unfortunate ascir umstances would permit. He has many, good, warm friends in his home city and throughout the county, among them a goodly number of colored people. He has been city attorney of Garnett, and the city has never been called to pay costs in any proceedings in which he was connected. Mr. Richardson is an old newspaper man, having at one time edited the Garnett Eagle, where he not only made many friends, but his keen foresight and ready pen brought many good things to the city and county that would otherwise have passed unnoticed. He always had a good word to say for his town and county, an now the people have an opportunity to show their appreciation of what he accomplished for them. Mr. C. F. Houset, of Pomona, Route I, has been nominated by the Democrats for the office of registrar of deeds, and is in every way qualified to perform the duties of the office. He is a self made man, coming up through privation without assistance save that of his own. He is a farmer and one of the most highly respected citizens in the county. He had the misfortune to lose an arm, and under this handicap he has continued his upward march on the ladder of success. He has lived in the county for twenty three years and has a wife and two sons. Mr. Houset is fair to all man regardless of race, color or honour, if elected will serve all alike. COWLEY COUNTY. Mr. Ed. I. 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 mistake by electing a plug lawyer, for in Mr. Fleming everyone knows that he possesses the brains and ability and will deliver the goods. Vote for Charles G. Blakely, Republican candidate for representative 34th District comprising the Second, Third and Fourth Wards. PASSING COMMENT BY JOHN M. DORSEY. Live in the light of truth whether people believe in you or not, and you will have done your duty. He who lives in a glass house ought not to throw stones for fear he may some time make a left-handed throw and cave in his own dwelling. The four nations now at war with the Turks seem inclined to have in mind the feast of Thanksgiving when the stuffing will be whipped out of the Turks. So the world moves. Don't let these pleasant days fool you into a belief that winter is not just over the way, for he will be upon you before you are prepared if you imagine he is going to postpone his visit to more congenial time. The hungry news-mongers around Chicago who are filled more often with bad whiskey and rotten prejudice than with truth and veracity, have sent out more lies about Jack Johnson than they can ever hope to obtain a pardon for between now and doomsday if it were a million years hence. But prayers will help some. Every prohibition crank who has a cellar full of the best brands of booze ought to be given seven years at hard labor in some penal institution where they teach people to practice what they preach, and if the deliveries of the express companies are any sign there would be more of these cranks than there are of jointists and bootleggers behind the bars, and among the lot would be some of those who are prosecuting the latter class. Before a body of representative colored men of Chicago Champion Jack Johnson denied that he ever made any such statement as that charged by the associated press dispatches, and as we believe Mr. Johnson has too much sense to make any such declaration we accept his word as gospel truth, the reports of the press and the old hag who claimed that he made it to the contrary notwithstanding. The root of the whole scheme is prejudice. Gov. Stubbs is evidently afraid of his fate before the legislature, as is shown in his attempt to get the Democratic party to pledge itself to support him should Judge Thompson fail of the popular vote next Tuesday, but "Foxy Grandpa" Stubbs is not willing to withdraw if he loses to Judge Wm. H. Thompson unless there is a string to the withdrawal. But Stubbs will find himself a wiser man after the election than he is now. He may fool some of the people all the time, and he may fool all the people some of the time, but he cannot fool all the people all the time. --- The country was thrown into great excitement recently by the sad attempt of one crank to put a quietus on another crank tenfold more dangerous than the one now in the toils of the law. Roosevelt brought this great shock to his moral senses, if he has any, by the teachings promulgated throughout the length and breadth of the land by himself. His utter disregard of all law and the manner in which he has taken the law in his own hands when he thought it necessary inspired utter to act, same, and this attempt on his life, but the direct result of the tenor of the victim. And furthermore it took to a man up a tree that this little madness was but a frampe of too part of the bodily nose to work on the sympathies of the American people to attain that which he had hoped to gain, the support of the electorate, which he realised was vanishing from his path to escape devastation. But of such was the case Mr. Roosevelt had the trouble of spilling his little spite of blood in a lost cause, for the people of America have been humbled and hoodwinked by this typhoon on too many occasions to listen to his tommy not again.

This request should be kept in mind by every voter, for never has the Republican party presented a stronger set of candidates than this year. There are many new faces on the ticket, but they are well known men of high standing in the community and it is not necessary to apologize for any one whose name appears on the Republican County ticket. It would be well for the Republican voters to remember that they can keep their identity with the party by voting in the circle. A vote for the Roosevelt electors or any other candidate on another ticket will not invalidate the ballot. The Republican Ticket Follows A. W. DANA, District Judge, 1st Division. GEO. H.

BBLABLY, Republican candidate for Representative 4th District Complining the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Wards Ads WITH the third term party no longer a factor in the fight, with the election of Theodore Roosevelt as complete an Impossibility as that of Chapin or Debs, the campaign settles down into lines that are perfectly simple and so easily understood that the most careless voter should make no mistake as to the issues involved Either William H. Taft and the Republican party, or Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic party, will control the destinies of our country during the next four years. A vote for the Republican party is a vote for the continuance of policies with which the country is well acquainted and under which it has enjoyed unbroken prosperity. A vote for the Democratic party is a vote for policies which have been tried but once in more than fifty years and which resulted then in conditions so disastrous to the nation's business that the period is remembered as one of the blackest and most hopeless in our history. The re-election of President Laft cannot possibly bring disaster, for the country would know exactly what to expect from him and the Republican party. The election of Professor Wilson, a man wholly without experience in national affairs, and the return of the Democratic party to power, must inevitably create a feeling of uncertainty—and uncertainty always spells stagnation or industrial disaster. Why take a chance when we already enjoy a certainty? Why vote for ANYBODY but Taft and Sherman and the Republican party? TIDE TURNS TO TAFT ROOSEVELT FAILED TO GAIN VOTES FOR HIMSELF IN WESTERN STATES. TAFT SENTIMENT INCREASING Weakness of Third Term Candidate Has been Emphasized by His Tour. While Favorable Feeling Toward Taft Manifested Everywhere. --- Oswald F. Schuette, staff correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean, has just completed a two weeks' tour of the Pacific coast and western states with J. Adam Rede, former congressman from Minnesota, and John M. Hiarlan of Chicago. These speakers were sent out by the national Republican committee to trail Colonel Roosevelt in his tour of the west. The Taft meetings were held on the nights following the Bull Moose rallies. Mr. Schuette was commissioned to make a critical study of political conditions and report the facts as he found them. BY OSWALD F. SCHUETTE. The Roosevelt sentiment in the states west of the Mississippi river is waning fast. The Taft strength is growing, although weakness in the organization in many states has prevented the Republicans from taking full advantage of the situation. The Wilson forces are still confident of victory, but the fading of the Roosevelt strength has turned the brunt of the fight against the Democrats, and fear of free trade and Democratic hard times is turning the tide to President Taft. This is the present situation, as viewed from a careful personal investigation of the political conditions that prevail in the wake of Theodore Roosevelt's tour of the west. It can be summed up also in another sentence. Roosevelt has scarcely won a vote at any point on his trip. He has had large audiences, but none of them has been as large as he had on either of his last two trips through these states. Compared to last spring's primary campaign, or his tours of other years, the meetings have been disheartening in their coolness. This accounts for the reports of angry interludes that have been frequent accompaniments of his speeches. This represents a great change in the situation since the middle of August. Gained No Converts. What cheering and applause has greeted the colonel on his present tour has come from men already committed to his cause. In no city visited on his course has there been a report of new contests gained. In almost every instance the reports were unanimous that he had hurt himself and his cause either by his dictatorial manner toward his audiences, his angry treatment of the men around him and the hosts who tried to show him hospitality, his theatrical stage tricks, or his kaleidoscopic changes of opinion concerning the issues. Weakness of Roosevelt Emphasized. The weakness of the Roosevelt cause was emphasized by the meetings which greeted John Maynard Harlan and J. Adam Bede, who are still on the colonel's trail. At each stop they made they were told by Republicans that the Roosevelt meetings had been anything but the roaring successes they had been expected, and the colonel's visit had not won him a vote. It was the same story throughout the trip—in Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Nebraska. Everywhere the Roosevelt leaders appeared disgruntled, the Taft leaders were jubilant and the Wilson forces fearful of the fact that the campaign was turning against their own candidate. A prominent newspaper editor in Ogden, Utah, writes to the Republican national committee as follows: "There is no doubt that Mr. Taft will carry Utah by almost the same majority he did four years ago. The movement for Roosevelt is very weak." Dwindling In Missouri Fred A. Williams, secretary of the Republican central committee of Callaway county, Missouri, makes the following report: "What little Moose sentiment we have here is dwindling and everything is shaping up well for Mr Taft in November." ROOSEVELT 'N ILLINOIS THIRD TERM SENTI MENT IS STEADILY DE- CREASING. Reports From All Sections Are to the Effect That Republicans Have Determined to Remain Loyal to Party. --- Chicago, Sept. 27.—Polls which are being received at the headquarters of the Republican national committee indicate that the third term candidate will not receive on election day anything like the support given him in the primaries, when he was a Republican seeking the nomination of his party for the office of president. These figures are confirmed by statements published in newspapers in various parts of the state, by letters received at the headquarters and by Illinois people who visit Chicago and express their opinions on the political situation. Rev. Clark S Thomas of Elgin, who has traveled through the state from East St. Louis to Vincennes and from Springfield to Centralia, was emphatic in his assertion that the Roosevelt sentiment in Illinois is disappearing. When former Senator William E Mason, nominated at the primaries for the position of Congressman at large from Illinois, recently returned from a speech making tour he reported that the Roosevelt sentiment was waning in the localities which he had visited. Reevevelt Losing Suppliers. "I have been all over the state of Illinois, addressing Chautauquas, home-coming rallies and farmers' picics, and everywhere I went I met the admission that Mr. Roosevelt is losing supporters," said Mr. A. C. Rankin of Chicago. "Large numbers of people believe he is organizing his movement merely as an aid to elect Wilson and defeat Taft, and they refuse to be a party to his treachery." "I have just returned from a tour through some of the counties of Illinois," writes Henry I. Nowlan, a prominent attorney in this city, "and I find that the third term sentiment is on the wane." Change Among Farmers. "Republican conditions have improved in my section of Illinois more than 25 per cent since I was here two weeks ago." says Mr. W. W. Clark of Aurora, Ill., formerly labor editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean and now editor of the Aurora Sentinel. "The change is principally observed among the farmers. They appreciate the prosperity which they have been enjoying under Republican administration and they are beginning to realize that a change to democracy means an end to their good times. The trend toward President Taft is plainly apparent." Pledged to Republican Ticket, "I cannot speak for other parts of the state," said Mr. W. K. Wire of Hebron, Ill., while in Chicago recently, "But I know that in my precinct Roosevelt will not poll one per cent of the vote which he received in the primaries last spring." Mr. Wire was formerly chairman of the county committee of McHenry county, and is now a member of the county committee. While there are some sections in the state where the Roosevelt sentiment continues to manifest itself, the fact that it is generally disappearing is proven beyond a doubt. THE TIDE HAS TURNED From the Paterson, N. J. Press. It is apparent that the turn of the tide which has been generally expected, in favor of the reelection of President Taft, has set in all over the country. The Third Term movement is rapidly waning, and the testing process of Governor Wilson in the crucible of public opinion is proving a distinct disappointment to the Democratic party. No impartial observer of the political situation now believes that Roosevelt has any chance of winning, and it is apparent that the Democratic standard bearer has made a great mistake in adopting the cry of death to the protective tariff as his slogan. So manifest is the turn of the tide toward Taft that the Democratic leaders have ceased to regard victory for their party as a sure thing. Advt. An Able and Efficient Representative of the People of the First District Who Deserves Re-Election Don't Forget to Vote for Him. The record of D. R. Anthony, Jr. as a representative in the national Congress is such that his friends feel warranted in asking in his behalf the support of all patriotic citizens without regard to party affiliations at Tuesday's election. The opposition candidate has wilfully misrepresented Mr. Anthony's position upon public questions. The truth is that Mr. Anthony has advocated and voted at all times for measures deemed best to advance the material welfare of the people of the district. The facts are that he supported all of the progressive legislative measures enacted into law during the 60th, 61st and 62nd sessions of Congress, a partial mention of which includes: The law providing for the direct election of United States senators, the law prohibiting corporations from contributing to campaign funds, the law providing for the publication of campaign contributions and expenditures before as well as after election, the act submitting to the state legislature for ratification of an income tax amendment to the constitution, the corporation tax law which yields $10,000,000 annual revenue to the government, the law providing for a close examination of corporation methods, all sound tariff revision measures, for the stock and bond commission, for additional laws for the regulation of railroads and to extend the powers of the Interstate Commission to determine fair and just rates, for the improvement of waterways for the conservation of national resources, for the preservation of water power sites, for laws in aid of irrigation, for pure food laws, for the total amount of the postal swathe a tanker the extension and building up of the rural mail service; the law to prohibit pamphling in the District of Columbia in the price of stock and farm products and intended as a model for the states, for measures to aid the dairy and agricultural interests; for the workmen a contribution bill, for an eight day a work on government contracts, for eight hour day for Federal prison guards, eight hour days a work on the Panama canal, for the creation of a bureau of miners to safeguard the lives of miners and to provide rescue cars for that purpose, to abolish ponage, for laws to pay the soldiers of the Civil war and the Spanish-American war liberal pensions Mr. Anthony has paid special attention to the requests of the many veteran soldiers of the district by alding in getting them deserved increases of pensions and in working to secure the proper appropriations for an ample food supply in the maintenance of the Soldiers' Home. He has favored all good roads measures and is pushing a bill which provides that the labor of convicts of the two government penitentiaries at Leavenworth to be used in building a military road between Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley. Mr. Anthony is a native Kansan who has lived all his life in this congressional district and the people know him to be attentive to his duties as a representative. Every man, woman or child writes or approaches him well knowing before hand of a courteous reception and respectful hearing and that every effort will be made to serve regardless of politics or party affiliations. Mr. Anthony is a consistent Republican but one who respects the beliefs of those who are affiliated with other political parties. He was renominated by a large majority in an open party primary and is entitled to the united support of Republicans regardless of factional differences over matters foreign to the political affairs of the First District Mr Chapman, whose name appears this year on the democratic ticket, is a political chameleon without any fixed principles or firmness of conviction. He was first heard of in Kansas politics as a Populist candidate for Congress in the Second District and after his defeat he next announced as a Democrat. Mr. Chapman was unknown in First District political affairs until he made a sudden plunge as an independent candidate two years ago. He declined to stand as a Democratic candidate and made loud proclamation in speech and on hill boards that he was above all parties. The people of the First District did not take kindly to Mr. Chapman in this new role and he was defeated by a majority of 14,366 votes. This year he is trying another scheme by running with his name on the Democratic ticket while at the same time he is going around saying that he is no real Democrat and that he will not qualify in the Democratic caucus if elected Mr. Chapman is all things to all men and will switch and turn about face and promise anything to catch a vote The voters of the First District should go to the polls next Tuesday and re-elect as their representative at Washington a man who by reason of the influence and experience given by several years of previous service is in a position to accomplish most for the people he represents Congressman Anthony is the man so qualified E.

James Schoolcraft Sherman, vice-president of the United States, passed from labor to reward Wednesday night at his home in Utica, N. Y., after a lingering illness. In the death of Vice-President Sherman the nation loses one of its foremost men—a scholar, statesman and a Christian gentleman, whose aim in life has been for the betterment of his fellowman, and in this he has succeeded in a measure far beyond the ordinary degree allotted to human. Mr. Sherman was known throughout the length and breadth of the land as "Sunny Jim," on account of the happiness that followed in the wake of the man, whether at work or at leisure. As public official he stood in the front rank of men who labor for justice and square dealing as man to man, and it can be truthfully said of him that the world has been the better for his having lived in it. His life work was not finished, but enough was accomplished to demonstrate the fact that his name will go down in history as one of America's greatest men and patriots. Well may the nation bow in sorrow in the death of James Schoolcraft Sherman. A SENSIBLE VIEW OF JACK JOHNSON! A. P. Tone Wilson, editor of the X-Rays Democrat, the only Democratic newspaper published in Topeka, hits the nail square on the head in the following editorial squab: "Jack Johnson, the colored champion pugilist of the world, is in the lime light once more. They claim he has disgraced Chicago. What a pity to disgrace so pure a city. Better see to the thousands of poor white girls who are living in the underworld of Chicago and give Jack Johnson and the 19 year old white gal a rest as she may not be worth the space she is receiving in the press."

FOR DRUGS AND PRESCRIPTIONS COLD SODAS, CANDIES, ETC. THE BIG NEW DRUG STORE. Corner Third and Kansas Ave. JAMES WHITE and J. H. HARRIS SENATOR H. B. MILLER. The colored people throughout Kansas deeply deplore the death of Senator H. B. Miller, of Osage City, which occurred at the home of his son, Hon. Clyde Miller, on Governor's Square. Humanity never had a truer, stauncher friend, nor the country a more gallant defender. He was one of the sturdy youngsters who answered the call of "Uncle Abe" and gave the richest and best blood of his life that all men might be free and enjoy the fruits of their labor and the comforts of their own firesides. He was ever ready to answer the call of suffering humanity, and the many kindly acts shown the colored people by him will ever be fresh in the memory of the men and women of the state he has served so faithfully and well. Our industrial schools, lodges and churches have all received his aid and encouragement, for which we are grateful and will ever cherish his memory. Senator Miller was mould after the Lincoln type, and he leaves a son, Clyde, who will ever follow his foot-steps. It was largely through the efforts of Senator Miller that the magnificent G. A. R. Memorial building was erected, and it is a magnificent testimonial of our love and gratitude for the grand old boys of it.

The colored voters of Kansas will make no mistake when they vote for Woodrow Wilson for the presidency, and it is exceedingly gratifying to note that a greater number of colored people will vote for Mr. Wilson for president than has ever voted for a Democratic candidate for the presidency. And why should they not do so? Mr. Wm. H. Taft has been president for four years and he has done practically nothing for the protection and amelioration of the condition of the colored voters and citizens in the exercise of their civil and political rights. The truth is, actions speak louder than words, and it might be pertinent to ask what overt action or stand has President Taft taken during the four years he has been president that would appeal to the suffrage of the colored voters of Kansas and the country. President Taft both occupied the presidential chair through the aid and assistance of more than a million and a half of colored voters and the power of these administrations as regards the Negroes has been such as to convince the intelligent and thinking colored voters that they do not owe Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt anything, and that they were used to vote them into office and afterwards were thrown to the wolves to be disposed by their political enemies. The Republican party while pretending to be the friend of the Negroes has connived at the great wrongs and injustice done them and refers to them during campaign times to induce the Negroes to vote in Republican ticket. Although it has been in absolute power for the last sixteen years it has made no effort and will make no effort to remedy the existing wrongs and injustice so far as the Negroes are concerned. The time change and move with them, and to do the Negroes are the king of political lines as they never before before. On every A. hand we now hear the bold independent declaration of Negroes that they are going to vote for Hon. Woodrow Wilson for president. Mr. Wilson is a learned, high-class, Christian gentleman who upon a recent occasion said: "If the people of the United States see fit to place me in the White House, I propose to enforce the laws of the land, so far as a president can, not only according to the letter, but according to the spirit, and I intend to do this in the spirit of Christ—I am a Christian and I shall take my religion with me into the presidency and follow the teachings of Christ in the performance of my duty." This declaration of Governor Wilson breathes the spirit of justice, equal rights and protection to all American citizens, whether rich or poor, white or black. Governor Wilson is a broad-ganged, comprehensive, magnanimous state-man, who will give to all people a square deal, and not close the door of hope and opportunity against any man on account of race or color. We say now, as heretofore, that the Negroes in Kansas and in the nation will make no mistake in voting for Governor Wilson. We will hail with delight the coming of the day when the Negroes will cease to be the tools of unscrupulous politicians; when they will become independent thinkers and study the great civic and economic questions which are so essential to good government, the state and country; when they will learn to so deport and conduct themselves that Jim Crow legislation will not be necessary. The Negroes are thinking and when they think for themselves as intelligent citizens ought to do, they will come near solving the race problem as to what is best for the race. Popeke, Kas, Oct 26, 12.

ARKANSAS CITY The Democrats of the Fiftieth representative district showed wisdom when they nominated Mr. A. S. Gibson for state representative.

Mr. Gibson is a fine gentleman and if elected, the people will have no cause to regret it. 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. Mr. Paul Khen, 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 cure and sound business judgment that characterizes his personal affairs. Kansas' greater need in her lawmaking business is more business men and less professional politicians and when this is done the people will receive some recognition in the way of good laws. Mr. Killen 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.
