TOPEKA PLAINDEALER 9 Hon. N. L. Bowman, a Winner in the Democratic Primaries for Congressman Second District. Historical Society State House Sixteenth Year. No. 30. Hon. N. L. Bowman, a for Congressman S N L BOWMAN FOR CONGRESS What His Friends Say of Him. The great fight in the Second District is drawing to a close. This is one of the memorable campaigns of the district Rep. Taggart has never been popular in the district. Wenkened by patronage struggles, he risked a vote against the Panama Canal Toll Repeal Bill, and other of the administration measures; this, together with a hotly contested post office appointment, pre- cincted the struggle. Of course, only the voice of the people can solve the matter. Signs would seem to indicate a strong probability of change in the district. The press favors Bowman, two politicians range themselves on his side. There is a feeling that Taggart hardly puts up the goods. Paliceau is worn out. There is a grave suspicion that the district has an final equate Representative. Honor Bowman is the owner of 990 acres and lives next to the city of Garrett. An able attorney, he is a man well qualified for the office, and sees one by a Congressional campaign. Not satisfied with mere material success, he has weight higher things, and is with all a consistent Christian man. Is Moan 15, Bowman is nominated and elected, he will make one of the best Congressmen the district has ever sent to Washington. Mr Bowman revives some of the best traditions of the Republic. Madison from Little Montpelier, Jefferson from Bradwell, John C. Calhoun from Aboville Lincoln leaving Little Springfield for the Capitol, so Senator Bowman divides his time between his farm, his office and public life. The large towns of the district have usually had the Congressman. Is not something due the small town? Give us a major deal, and we will give you one. We had hoped to sit under the shadow of the great city at the mouth of the Kaw, of which all the district is proud, and felt satisfied with their leadership, but events seem to have railed otherwise. All through this campaign Mr. Bowman's friends have been proud of him. "I cannot be nominated by my own strength" he has said. "Don't attack any one" was his first word. He has set himself against the use of any unjust means to secure the nomination, preferring to be defeated rather than to win by questionable menus. If it should be that the big man, with his brave, campaign quietly living in the district, has been kept for a purpose to give us to _ someone, faithful and true, a personive life of the people, and this campaign is to mean a forward step for the district his friends will be satisfied.

Different committees made their reports, which were received. Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Malone and Mrs. Gaines were introduced to the convention and each made a few timely remarks. Memorial service: Rev. J. C. C. Owens eulogized the life of our late priesting elder, Rev. J. W. Walsoon; Mrs Mayne Johnson, the life of Sister Laura Vaughan; Sister Merrett, the life of little Winona Jones, who was such a great worker in her Home Missionary Society of Kansas City. She was a true devoted Christian, was the president of the Juvenile society. She had started so young, yet God the maker of all choosse to call her home. She is gone but not forrotten. This was the largest number of delegates that has assembled at one time, numbering seventy. It was said it was the best session and all present were pleased with the proceedings and according to all reports the work is going on with a rapid growth. Money raised, $413.50—a splendid amount, far above that of last year. The next convention will be held at Lawrence in July. The following officers were elected: Mrs. Woodfork, president; Mrs. C.

Executive Board: Mrs. Carrie Johnson, Rev, Mrs. Greene, Jr., Rev, Mrs. Greenlee, Mrs. Maxwell, Mrs. Carter. We were highly honored by having in our midst at each meeting, Rev. J. T. Smith, presiding elder, filling the vacancy caused by the death of our late presiding elder, J. W. Wilson, which the Alwise Creator choose to call from labor to reward. He was much loved and greatly missed by all. We can say like the poet, "Well done good and faithful servant" for we realize that he was one of those who received the ten talents and proved it to be so by his works. Thus ends one more year's work for the missionary workers. MRS. B. R. ROSS, Reporter. GREAT BEND, KANSAS. Mi, and Mrs. Ned Porter and family are able to be out again after a seige of illness.

Mr. Paird is a Friend to the Colored People of Kansas City, Kansas and the State. To the voters of Kansas City, Kansas I the issue of the Kansas City Times of July 27th, there appeared an article, which has been interpreted to inject a race question in the rep- resentative contest in the Eighth disti- cret. I am absolutely opposed to such an issue being raised in any poli- tical contest. I have no prejudice against any man or woman on account of race, color, religion or politics. The arti- cle which thus appeared was not an interview, and I did not authorise the publication of such statement, and I saw nothing of it. I am a cand- date for representative for the Eighth presentative district. JUSTUS N. BAIRD, July 30, 1914 ODD FELLOWS AT ATCHISON. Grand Lodge Gathering Best in the History of This Great Order. The District Grand Lodge, G. U. O. O. F., met in their thirty-third grind session in Attica on last week as did also the Household of Ruth in their fifteenth grind session. This was one of the grandest sessions ever held by the two bodies and shows their work in very good condition. Attorney Dorsey Green, of Kansas City, district grand master called the body to order in the old city hall, where twenty-eight lodges responded to the call, with a membership of over 900. M. C. Rhoten, secretary called the roll and after which the lodges proceeded to business. They were entertained by the local lodge which did great credit in making it pleasa for the visiting members while in the city. Under the hand of District Grand Master Dorsey Green, the order has advanced by leaps and bounds. The order reported $4,517 on hands. The ordered $2,000 of this to be loaned out. We are glad to see the lodges of the colored race getting down on business which will bring happiness and relief to many of its members and also the colored race. They reported only five deaths last year, for which five hundred dollars was paid out. They also made liberal gifts this year, which was a great credit to them. The following officers were elected: District Grand Master, Dorsey Green, Kansas City; Denuty Grand, N. L. Butler, Parsons; Grand Director, R. C. Chapman, W.er City; Grand Secretary, M. C. Rhoten, Junction City; Grand Treasurer, G. M. Harris, Hutchinson; Secretary Endowment, Dr. S. M. Banks, Kansas City; Treasurer Endowment, D. D. Hope, Topeka; Auditing Committee, J. W. Jones, Kansas City; J. T. Rosan, Ft. Stott; W. I. Harvey, Lawrence. The Household of Ruth met in the A. M. E. church, presided over by Mrs. S. D. Jones, of Leavenworth. She retired after four years of good, hard work. The following officers were elected: Mrs. J. M. Harper, Wichita, N. G.; Mrs. Letitia Newman, Vice N. G.; Miss Corn Yeager, Lawrence, Grand Treasurer; Mrs. Stella Black, Atchison, Endowment Secretary; Miss R. Jackson, Topeka, Endowment Treasurer. On Thursday at high twelve, headed by Atchison's Cornet band, they paraded the principal streets of the city. The Installation of officers was held Friday evening at the hall on Eighth and Commercial streets. A competitive drill was staged between J. HON. DORSEY GREEN, G. M. the Patriarchs of Kansas City, Topeka and the Moses Dixon Palatine Guards of Atchison. The hall was crowded with members and visitors. The drilling was fine, so fine that the judges did not render a decision. Kansas City seemed to have somewhat the best of it. They adjourned to meet in Salina in 1915. The following resolution was passed: Mayor and council of Atchison for the use of the hall, park and members of the police force who formed an escort and also to Sawin & Douclas for hacks and excellent service, and the Patriarchs of Topeka and Kansas City who came to Atchison at great expense to participate in the drill, also the local lodges, Household of Ruth and good citizens of the town for the hospitality shown them. SHAWNEE COUNTY Art Haugis is a fine fellow and would make a good county treasurer. He will appreciate your vote. Bob Tasker wants to be register of deeds all of his life. He's had two terms and now seeks a third. He sure and vote against him at the primaries. Judge of the court of Topeka is too big a job for Paul Heinz. He has only been admitted to the bar about a year and a half. Many important cases pass through this court and a man of experience, a good answer is needed on the bench. Better let Paul wait a few years. Harry Whitlow says that he wants your vote and that he feels grateful to his many loyal colored friends who are doing all in their power to nominate him for register of deeds. He is a true blue Republican, and is in every way well qualified for the office he seeks. JONES-ROSS Popular Topeka Young People Wed. A pretty home wedding was solemnized Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Miss. Marcellas Jones 1314 Monroe street Tuesday evening, when their beautiful and highly accomplished daughter, Corine Gertrude, became the bride of Dr. M. L. Ross. Only the immediate family and a few close friends were in attendance. It was just a plain, simple home wedding, and the decorations, though not gaudy, were beautiful in conception, rich in design and artistic in taste. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. I. C. Nicholson, pastor of the Prechytierian church. The bride is one of the best girls Kansas ever produced, and is in every respect well qualified to preside over the home of a king. Mrs. Ross was a bookkeeper in the office of The Topeka Plaindealer for some five years or more and the writer had an opportunity to become intimately acquainted with her. Kind of heart, broad in view, artistic in taste, together with her sweet, childlike disposition, made her an agreeable co- Price $1 50 Per Year. worker—one of those girls that makes one feel happy to be in her presence. She abhors the "Star Spangled Banner" stunts so prevelent in the ranks of the race's "corn bread aristocracy." She's just a plain, common girl—one that enjoys and delights in the comforts to be found in a home, and it's these excellent qualities that has won her a warm spot in the hearts of a legend of friends. She knows the duties of a home from the cook stove to the drawing room; possess a good education, a good musician and a lover of good literature. Mrs. Ross comes from one of the most highly respected and best known families in the state. Her father, Mr. Marcellas Jones has been in the employ of the Santa Fe railway company for more than twenty-five years, and fortune has blessed her in inheriting all of the excellent traits of her grand and noble mother. Mrs. Ross is a member of "Joyance" one of the most fashionable social clubs in the West. The groom, Dr. M. L. Ross, settled here some two years ago, and began the practice of medicine, and has certainly made good. He is a fine mixer—one of those wide-open, warm hearted fellows, no swell head, but meets and greets you with the same face every day. He is a young man of high attainments, a splendid physician and a Christian gentleman. The Plaindealer casts the proverbial old shoe for luck, and we hope that their only interruption down the rugged stream of life will be only an occasional annual squall. Vote for H. H.

Every woman knows the tremendous difference in hair oil—differences in quality, in purity, in fineness—in the way they adhere to the scalp and in appearance on the hair. Your hair oil has always been a real problem. You will find the nearest approach to your idea of a perfect oil in Matora' Hair Oil. Heretofore you have had difficulty in finding an oil of sufficient fineness that would adhere to your scalp. Have you not been obliged to sacrifice one advantage for the other? Now, in Majors' Oxford Hair Oils, you have both a product of remarkable fineness, and at the same time one which adheres perfectly. Some oils, to gain adherent properties., contain injurious substances. OXFORD HAIR OIL is pure as the driven snow. It comes in paste and liquid. OXFORD HAIR OIL is boiled time after time to a degree of fineness that is most unusual. It is practically invisible on your hair, gives the true, natural glossy effect of real beauty. THE FINEST MATERIALS ARE USED, the greater proportion of which are imported.

COFFEYVILLE. .:; KANSAS, lease on four hundred and thirty thousand acres of land in the Osage Nation. Beneath the surface of this land is stored enough oil and gas to absolutely destroy the power of the Oil Trust in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Tucker was indicted on ten different counts in securing the great lease and tried in the Federal Courts at Oklahoma City in May, 1914. The present Oklahoma United States District Attorney refused to prosecute. Special Government Counsel, at immense expense, was sent to try the case. Mr. Tucker introduced three witnesses, while the Government in its case presented eighty witnesses. It is estimated that the Government spent $150,000.00 in trying for conviction. The Jury at the end of a trial lasting thirty-two days, was sent into the jury room with ten verdicts, one covering each indictment. This verdict—"Not Guilty"—was returned on each of the ten counts in twenty-three minutes. The trial was a complete vindication of Mr. Tucker and his business methods. This is what Mr. Tucker refers to, and I think correctly, as "the invisible government." I approach the subject matter contained in this communication with full knowledge of the responsibility attached to the occasion. I concede to no man in Kansas greater loyalty to the Republican party and Republican principles than I possess. I have always taken an interest in its past, have always worked actively for its success, and I am intensely concerned with its future. On this point I am willing to let my twenty-five years of service for the principles of the party stand in testimony. WELK CITY, KANSAS. Rev. J. W. Feygans who is called as pastor of the Saint John Baptist church, with his wife, arrived here on the 18th from Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Frances Lyons of Osage City took her mother, Mrs. Frey, home with her on the 14th. Her mother was very sick. My position in Kansas affairs has given me some insight into the political conditions, and I believe that I am speaking correctly when I write these statements. I think I have never been accused of being eccentric or radical in my political views and have never wandered from the fold in quest of falsegods. The Southeastern District Baptist Association adjourned to meet here in its annual session July 26, 1915. All the old officers were re-elected—Rev. T. E. Pierce, Moderator: 'The attendance was large. The delegates were fed at one central place by the church. The pastor is to be praised for the manner in which he generaled things, having been in charge here only two weeks. The Republican party in Kansas has honored me with preferment. Both as a public official and as a private citizen I have stood firm in the faith. It is for this reason that I should very much dislike to see, as would thousands of other sincere Republicans in Kansas, another political accident this fall result in sending another Democrat to the United States Senate. If the sober judgment of the Republicans of Kansas, who are interested more in the triumph of the party principles than the success of individual candidates, does not assert itself, this deplorable repetition is likely to occur. Rev. Feygans and wife, who have recently decided to make this their Home. Rev. Feygans having been called to the pastorate of St. John Baptist church, left on the 27th for Kansas City to get their household goods, but will be here for Sunday. I have spent more than six weeks in close touch with the Senatorial situation in Kansas, and I am in a position to say to my friends and acquaintances that Henry H. Tucker is today right on the verge of being nominated United States Senator on the Republican ticket. Information is daily coming to headquarters which bears me out in this belief. Behind Mr. Tucker great forces are at work. The poeple are aroused. The twelve hundred stockholders of the Uncle Sam Oil Company, substantial and respectable citizens, are practically a unit working for his success. Mr. Tucker has twenty thousand signatures on his petition. He is waging a campaign such as Kansas has never before experienced. He has great confidence in the verdict of the people and to them is taking his story direct, by means of Republican jollifications on the stump, advertising in the newspapers, and by sending out literature to practically every home in State. Ether Ewing, who has been sick so long is still very sick. The Berry-Lee Coal Co., has about completed their old shaft and is now linking a new one. Rev. W. A. Broadnax, pastor of the A. M. E. church, has been transferred to a new field and Rev. Thos. Sufford has been sent here. Thousands of loyal and earnest Republicans are quaking in their boots at what might happen to the party in the event of either the nomination of Mr. Bristow or Mr. Curtis. There are enough of these loyal Republicans to turn the tide and to steer the party away from the shoals which threaten it. Large numbers of sincere Republicans realize that the nomination of a factional candidate at this time would precipate and whip into renewed activity the old fight of two years ago with all it bitterness, discord and dissention; the nomination of either would alienate the support of a considerable following of the the other; it would be a case of the pot calling the kettle black, and how would the dispute argue for the party harmony and party success? After debating the question from August 4th to November 3d as to which factional candidate had strayed from the fold and had sinned the most, how much would that help in eiecting the whole ticket and in restoring harmony? Mrs. Rosa Brown received the sad news last week of the death of her brother at St. James, Gn., whom she had not seen for twenty-five years. Tucker is the proper man for U. S. Senator. Vote for him next Tuesday. OVERTON'S TOILET ARTICLES.

There was some laughing at the Tucker campaign thirty dys ago by his enemies, who now realize that a movement of this character is no joke, and that it must of a necessity, by reason of its having the backing of the people, be treated seriously. Some of Tucker's enemies say that his campaign lacks dignity, that he is too earnests in getting to the people and presenting his case to them. I will not concede that he lacks in dignity but do assert that he is far the most forceful figure now before the people of Kansas.

It is a fine proposition for some industrious woman or young man. The owner desires to go West and is anxious to sell out. Fine location. Address. THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Thousands of Kansas Republicans—men and women—would like to witness the end of the Curtis-Bristow factional quarrel. They are heartily tired of the whole proposition and are only waiting for a Mosess to lead them out of the factional wildernesss. They are looking forward to a condition when a candidate may develop who will stand hitched to the Republican party even though he should suffer defeat at its hands as its candidate; a man who, in the event of losing, would not organize factional opposition within the party, to attempt to defeat the successful candidate; a man who would not switch, with the shifting winds into an insurgent organization and being honored thereby, revert with the restoration of political sanity, to the mother tree from which the shoot had sprung. ANNOUNCEMENT—HARVEY CO. I hereby announce my candidacy for register of deeds of Harvey county, subject to the Republican primaries Aug. 4, 1914. I will appreciate your support. I believe that Mr. Tucker is one of the most able men in Kansas, that he possesses bottom, balance, gray matter and knowledge of men. He is courageous and possesses both the initiative and nerve to take care of his Kansas constituents. Mr. Tucker has had ample opportunity to knuckle to the Oil Trust, before which many thousands of men have humbled and prostrated themselves. He says on the stump "If sent to Washington, I will bend my knee to none but God." That is the kind of fellow Tucker is. If he should be elected United States Senator there might be less social pomp, as there surely would be more real work for the people who sent him there. My information is, that there are many thousands of Republicans who are fairly holding their breaths, as it were, carried away by the vigor and sincerity of the Tucker campaign, and anxious to vote for him if they thought he has a chance to be nominated. I wish to say in all candor that he has a good chance to be nominated and, in my opinion, would make by far the most successful candidate in the November election, to oppose the Democratic nominee in the fight to redeem Kansas from the blighting and disastrous affects of Demoractic Government. Mr. Tucker has addressed in his meetings, in over thirty Kansas towns, more than ninety thousand persons, and it is expected that he will address fully twenty thousand more before the campaign closes. If this is not a significant demonstration, then I wish to be known in the future as a poor guesser. (First Published in the Ropeka Plaindealer, July 10, 1914. NOTICE. In the Probate Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. In the matter of the estate of William Shanks, deceased. All persons interested will take notice that my petition is on file in the office of the Shawnee County Probate Court, asking for authority to sell the following-described real estate, situated in Shawnee County, Kansas, belonging to the estate of William Shanks, deceased, for the purpose of paving the debts of said estate and the expenses of administration, to wit: Lots numbered twenty-three (23.) twenty-five (25.), twenty-seven (27), twenty-nine (29), thirty-one (31), and thirty-three (33), on Eighteen Street in Keith's Subdivision to the City of Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas. Said petition is set for hearing Saturday, the 25th day of July, 1914, at 10 o'clock A.M. at which time and place you can make known any objections you may have to the granting of such order of sale. Such a man has been found. He is Henry H. Tucker, fighting president of the Uncle Sam Oil Co., possessing the ability, the integrity, the patriotism, and the proven business qualifications to represent, with dignity and distinction, Kansas in the United States Senate. He has succeeded in a business venture at which thousands of men had failed. He has established a great independent oil company, typical of liberty-loving Kansas, which has become the only real western competitor of the Standard Oil Trust. He is no corporation biter, and, through a bitter enemy of the Oil Trust which has used every means in its power to destroy him, did not manufacture his enmity to it solely for the purpose of playing to the galleries in his Senatorial campaign. Tucker is an enemy of the Oil Trust from compulsion and not from choice. When he undertook, ten years ago, with the aid and cooperation of many substantial Kansas citizens, to build in this State great oil industry, the Oil Trusts, which had never had serious opposition in the West, declared that he could not exist as its competitor. Powerful with a billion dollars torn from the homes of the Nation, and with poor houses filled to overflowing with its competitors., following in the trail of its operators, the Oil Trust, strong as it was, overrated its strength when it attempted to throttle Henry H. Tucker. Here was a real Kansas fighter, whose modest fortune accumulated since boyhood, was at stake. Not only was his own money involved, but the financial support he had secured from his friends and neighbors, was in jeopardy. Tucker fought, therefore, not alone for himself and family, but for the people who had confidence in him. Thank God, he has been successful! His work for the people, substantial as it has been, is nothing compared to what he will be able to accomplish with the continued co-operation of the citizens of Kansas.

No man or woman who has been thinking of voting for Mr. Tucker need have any hesitancy in doing so on account of lack of confidence in his success, for he is today a formidable candidate. It is true none of us is a prophet, but if the immense popular movement now occurring in all parts of Kansas, does not mean Henry H. Tucker's nomination on August 3th, then it is mighty hard to forecast the result of any political campaign. Western Supply Co. Dealers in High Class Specialties. BOLEY. OKLAHOMA.

All churches had good reports. There was the largest number of delegates present in the history of the district work. There was an increase in Sunday School scholars over that of last year. The finance collected during the year was an improvement over any previous year. Quite a number of Surday School scholars were converted and became full fledged members. The delegates showed marks of improvement. The program was up to the steward, and the matter produced by the delegates showed their ability to do the work. The adoption of the constitution by the convention was a step forward and the local Surday Schools will be prepared to do better work in the future. Bishop M. F. Jamison, D. D., of Leigh, Texas, presiding bishop of the 5th Episcopal district was present. This was the first time the Bishop has had an opportunity to visit the state of Kansas.

The Missionary Society was largely attended and the president was very well pleased with the reports and if nothing beyond the ordinary happens, they will make a good showing at the annual conference.

KURTZMANN. Just compare this Piano $325 with its 65 years' past proud perfect performance. We find this Piano sold in some other cities regularly at $425.
