TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Hon. Henry H. Tucker, J., Has Won the Everlasting Love and Respect of Kansas and Every Loyal Republican 60V. HODGE'S, THE MAN OF THE HOUR Sixteenth Year. No. 31. By A. D. Griffin The administration of Governor Hodges is the best and most Brilliant in Kansas Histroy. Governor George H. Hodges who has been our governor for the current two years was renominated on the fourth of August and will be re-elected in November. Governor Hodges has been in public life for many years and is a life long democrat and Kansan. He resides at Olathe where he is a successful business man. Several years ago he was elected to the State State of Kansas and his record in that body was so brilliant and he showed such great ability that he soon was spoken of as the leader of democracy in Kansas. In 1912 he was chosen as the standard bearer of Democracy, being nominated at the primary as its candidate. Now for a second term he is to carry their banner and will carry it triumphantly. At the proper time he will enter vigorously into the campaign for the election of all nominees of the party for congressional, state and county offices and are the ideas of November have rolled around it will be apparent, as in fact it now is, that he in to be re-tlected. It is already in the air that the people of Kansas know when they have a good governor and that they are going to be loyal to the one they have tried and found not wanting. In his innaugural address and messages to the legislature at it session in 1913 he made many important recommendations to them concerning what he believed would be to the best interests of the state and the people, and, the beneficial enactments by that body were in response to his recommendations. His innaugural addresssts, his messages to the legislature and all public and private official utterances and actions have branded him as a great man. It was chiefly because of recommendations made by him in the inaugural address and in his messages to the legislature that so many beneficia' measures were enacted into law and so much done for the betterment of the state, the people and the state institutions and their inmates. The consolidation of some of the boards was so much needed that they should have been consolidated long ago, but of courses Republican administrations would not do so, as to do so was to deprive some political grater of a position, but Governor Hodges with admirable courage, and fidelity to his party and with the welfare of the whole people at heart set about it at the very out-set of his administration to economise where every economy was proper and where expenses could be curtailed without deteriorating the service. determined at the very out set to familiarize himself with all the afairs of the state and wanted to know just what was going on and how things were being conducted and had been. He has been a great visitor and has seen at first hand at all state controlled institutions in the state just what are the needs, what the conditions, how the property was being cared for, what treatment the inmates were receiving and how the attendants and employees were doing their duty. He has at all times insisted and seen to it that all inmates and prisoners in and of the institutions are treated humanely and that they receive proper care; has made it known that employees of the state must work and render ample and efficient service to the state. In the selection of the members of the boards having charge of these institutions as well as the superintendents and subordinate employees he has chosen the very best people for the positions and today they are in a condition of efficiency never before attained in Kansas. Many valuable and necessary improvements have been made, economical methods adopted, old fashioned and out of date methods and mechanical modernized when needed and yet a saving to the state is shows, these institutions in the past have 1 extravagant if not grafting basis. The Hodges administration was unfortunate in that a lot of undesirable legacies were handed up to it. It found the State Historical and Memorial building unfinished and found also that ample money (several hundred thousand dollars) necessary for its completion had been appropriated by republican legislatures and this appropriated by republican administrations and used for other purposes by them. The present administration found that it was debimental to the building as is stood in an unfinished condition to be allowed to remain that way, and also believed that the action of the republican administration in using money appropriated for finishing it for other purposes not intended by the legislature appropriating it was an outrage and a direct insult to every soldier of the rebellion with the task before them this administration provided the means for its completion, and as a result of the actions of this democratic administration after the unecrupulous conduct of the republicans to prevent its completion, the finest build-in Kansas is completed and was early this year dedicated and the records of the Grand Army and the Historical department are being removed to it. This is but one instance of the sidetracking by republican administrations, especially the last preceding one, of money from the purpose for which it was appropriated. The Asylum at Learned had been started and it too was found in an unfinished and dangerous condition; by this administration which had to complete it. The present campaign was waged for many months and the administration was attacked by Mr. Capper. Governor Hodges defended his administration and challenged Capper to debate the issue in Cappers own paper, this challenge Capper dared not accept. He knew that republican mismanagement would not bear inspection and that the claims he was making were untrue. The Record of Governor Hodges and That of His Administration Is The Best In Kansas History. Governor Hodges is a friend of the colored people, and has shown it all through his administration. He made it known immediately after he took the reins of government that he would not tolerate discrimination and that all people, regardless of race, color or religion should be treated fairly. For the first time in the history of the state this administration has placed colored nurses in some of the State hospitals, a consideration shown. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING AUG. 7, 1914. and republican administrations claim immediately after he took the reins of government that he would not tolerate discrimination and that all people regardless of race, color or religion, should be tited fairly. For the first time in the history of the state this administration has placed colored nurses in some of the State Hospital of Kansas, a consideration shown our race by the Hodges Administration which was never shown them by republicans, although republicans and republican administrations claim to be the friendas, the ONLY friend of the black man. Under the present administration the treatment of the race has been the best it has ever received. Hodges is a broad gueged man and recognizes all as citizens of the state. He is the governor of all of the people, and as such he has acted with great fairness, kindness and justice, showing all classes the utmost consideration. In 1912 at the primary and again at the election he received a large vote among the members of our race and none who voted for him regret it, but on the contrary all over the state come expressions of admiration for him and indications are that the Negroes will support him stronger this year than before. They will make no mistake in giving him their earnest support and in working for his election. To oppose him is to oppose a friend and display ingratitude. (There are many things in the life of a public man particularly the life of a governor, that the mass of the people don't know. Governor Hodges is one of the common people and a friend of the weak and the oppressed; he is quiet and unassuming and don't boast of such acts, yet during his public career he has performed many charitable and kind acts and rendred services which have endearned him to those who know him. The present campaign is to be hotly contested, the Republicans have been dethroned and are despair to regain power. On the other hand, Governor Hodges is again before you asking for election to a second term. He is proud of his record and the record that has been made in all branches and departments of the state government and so good is the record that has been made that he dares to come before you with the assurance that the people's of Kansas, with less illiteracy among them than in any other state in the Union, will uphold him and will on election day in November put their O. K. stamp—the seal of approval on that record and will again elect him. He is a loyal Kansan and acknowledges no man to be more loyal to his state and nation than he; neither does he admit to any man greater loyalty to the principles of democracy than he; but first of all he is an American citizen and favors every measure which looks to the bettiment of the state and of her people. An administration such as he has given to the people comes to us but once in a decade and when the citizens find that they have such a man for governor they should retain him for a second term. When the votes are counted next November it will be found that Governor Hodges has been elected by a fine majority, which will be a well merited compliment to him and will reflect the good judgment, intelligence, appreciation and fairness of the people of Kansas, showing that they believe in rewarding the best no matter from what party they come. The handwriting is already on the wall telling of Democratic success at the coming election and the Republicans are already making excuses preparatory to telling how it happened after it is over. We answer that question for you and them now: That answer is that the present administration is the best Kansas ever had; George H. Hodges is the best governor that has ever served the people of Kansas. He is personally admired by more people of Kansas than any other man who has ever been their governor. H eisa believ erc mfwy cmfaRre He is a great believer in education and liberally and loyally has supported all educational institutions in the state, not seeking to stint any of them but has desired that each one should be amply provided for out of money from the public funds. The writer has just finished a sixty days trip through all parts of the state. He finds the people knowing that the Hodges administration has saved money for the taxpayers. They appreciate the fact that this administration has been economical and yet efficient, and everything handled with care, ability and honesty. We think there is no doubt but that he will be re-elected as governor of Kansas. The colored people of Kansas—men and women—will make no mistake in voting for their friend, Governor George H. Hodges. He is a strong man, a patriotic American, a lover of personal liberty, a friend of the oppressed, believes in fairness to all and is a friend to the Negroes of Kargas and their most loyal champion that has ever held the office as chief executive of the greatest and most enlightened state in the Union. We recommend that all colored voters work for his re-election and vote for him on election day. Again we say he is a winner. There seems to be no doubt of his re-election as governor of Kansas. His administration is such as to merit support. He has faithful and deserves this reward. W. H. DAVIS MERCANTILE CO, WHOLESALE GROCERS. The W. H. Davis Mercantile company of this city, are the leading wholesale gocers of the state. Mr. Davis has been in the grocery business all of his life, for several years he was in the retail grocery business and met with such success owing to his fine business methods that he soon was in the wholesale business. The first venture was in North Topeka, but in a few years those quarters were out grown and there being no suitable largr quarters convenient to railway facilities the stock was moved to the south side of the river and gsatly enlarged. Mr. Davis is counted by business men, bankers and by the Bradstreetse and Dunn commercial agencies as one of the most shrewd and far seeing business men and finacitrs in the West. He started in life a poor boy, was however of good stock and had a fine father and mother by whom he had been well raised. But lack of funds to one of his resourcefulness and ability to make friends was not an insurmountable object with him and he over came it. His business path has not always been strewn with roses, he has three times seen his stock entirely destroyed by fire and each time his courage, his energy and ability and fine reputaton he had established for himself throughout the years enabled him to rise from the ruins higher and better than before. Today the plant is the best and biggest in Kansas and among the great establishments of the kind in the West. In addition to groceries of all kinds, staple and fancy articles, they are who'sale dealers in notions, candies, and other articles They manufacture several brands of flavoring extracts and of bluing and can supply the trade with any- thing covered by the name of the coun- curn—THE DAVIS MERCANTILE, CO., WHOLESALE GROCERS..... Under this head anything may be had from or through them which can be had anywhere else in the markets of the world. They are highly reliable, their guarantees are all right and to be depended upon. They treat the trade the public and their employees right and sell the best grades of goods at the lowest prices. What more could people desire? It is a Tupoka, a Kansas, a Western institution and should be patronize as such by the people of the city, state and the West. The people of Kansas should be more loyal to home industries. This institution is one of the largest employers of labor in the state carrying many men on the payroll in the house and having in large corpse of traveling representatives covering territory in almost all parts of the country, but giving special attention to the Mississippi and Missouri river valleys. Numbered among the employees are a number of women, and these together with the men receive high wages. They are distributors for a number of brands of cigars in addition to the other things named, also are extensive roasters of the best brands of coffee and the manufacturers of many articles not herein enumerated. Among their special brands are the following articles which especial attention is drawn to: · "Topeka Maid Coffee" packed 18 ounces but sold for the price of a pound also "Topeka Maid Baking Powder" and extracts "Davis Co., and Idlewild" brands, the best that money can buy. They have a nice line of satisfied customers for these goods, they give the best satisfaction and are the purest, products of their kind, which are now being offered to the public. The people should ask their grocer for them, most grocers do handle them and if you find your's does not insist on them getting them for you. Remember again that this is a home institution, was established here and has done much to help Topeka and Kansas. We should patronize them and insist on our grocers supplying us with groceries and other products from this home establishment.

NOTES Those who fail to attend these services at Mt. Olive this summer are certainly depriving themselves of an opportunity of receiving a shower of blessing from each service. The sermons by our pastor, the singing and the prayers offered from the hearts of Gods servants make each service full of inspiration and good cheer. The play entitled "Untangling Tony" rendered by the young people and under the management of Miss Easle Wigley was certainly a grand success. Miss Wigley worked faithfully and the misses and young man played their parts well. A neat sum was realized. Mr. L. E. McGill of Kansas City, and formerly of this place is in our midst for a few days visiting his children and friends. Brother McGill is looking well and we are glad to have him in our midst. He worshipped with us last Sunday. Mr. Dwight Burton one of our young members has been indisposed for the last few days but is better at present. The Lord has seen fit to lay the hand of affliction on several of our most earnest workers. Sister Mattle Ewing is very ill at her home on Kirg street. Sister Ewing is a good conscientious Christian woman a good church worker a Captain of a club whose amount collected always exceeds any of the other captain at our monthly rallies. We certainly hope and pray for her a speedy recovery. Also Sister Watkins one of our elderly members and a pillar of the church is very sick. OBITUARY.
