Entered at the Postoffice at Topeka as Second Class Mail Matter. We Have been your watchman on the wall for years and are now walking the same post. If you desire to see the race progress and your young people have a chance to be encouraged in life, vote for Hon. George H. Hodges for re-election to the office of governor. If he is re-elected, we guarantee things will come to pass wherein the colored people will receive greater recognition than ever before. He has not told us, but having confidence in him, and judging by what he has already done, we feel safe in touching for his continued fairness. He is the first governor to place colored girls in positions in the state institutions, and is the first to recognize colored people as being capable of recommending their own race appointments. There are better and brighter things in store for the race if Guy Hodges is re-elected. We have never advised you wrongly on any proposition and do not intendl to. Vote for Hodges and by so doing advance and uplift the race. ٣٠٠ Hen. D. R. Anthony, J.D., who is a candidate for re-election to Congress from the First district of Kansas, has been a faithful servant of the people of the district and state and we see no reason why he should not be retained at the capital of the nation to represent his district and state for another two years. Dan is one of Kansas' trustees who has ever been loyal for her success, who is honest, upright, and is devoted to the uphift of Kansas and those who dwell upon her soil. No one opposing his re-election can truthfully say that he has not performed his duty and performed it well. He is one of the state's brightest stars in her galaxy of law makers. Let those who oppose him do so from selfish motives and not one that eminates from a pretended good of the public at large. We predict his election by a good, big majority. The voters of the Fifth district will be called upon to vote for a congressman on Nov. 3d. We advise all those who cast their ballot on that day to vote for Hon. W. A. Calderhead, one of the old veterans of civilization and prosperity. It is he who has voted on measures in Congress that has brought prosperity not only to the nations of the earth, but to the people of Kansas and to those who live in the Fifth district. The time is now at hand that no dudes should be sent to Congress, but strong, braining men who can accomplish things. Vote for Mr. Calderhead and you make no mistake. Safety of Electricity and Electrically Heated Appliances. There is no danger of shock in operating electrically heated appliances than in turning the lights on and off. The severity of an electric shock depends upon the voltage of the circuit, and not the amount of current the application uses. If you should touch the bare wires running to an electric appliance, the shock would be no greater than if they were a 2 candle power lamp. Speaking of safety—do you know that during the past year over 1000 children died as a result of eating tips of matches! Are you aware that $10,000,000 damage by fire was traced to the same cause during the same period! Think it over. And as to the danger of burning yourself, or setting fire to anything, this is almost absent in electrically heated appliances. There is no flame, you know just where the heat is, and it is nowhere else. The voltage of residence circuits is never over 250, rarely over 220, and commonly 110, which means that while it is possible to receive a shock from this voltage, it can never be at all serious. Furthermore, the conductors in electrical appliances are so thoroughly insulated that the possibility of coming in contact with them is very remote. TO DOUGLAS COUNTY VOTERS Vote for J. B. Waleon, of Lawrence for County Attorney. He is a fine man and a lawyer who is competent and worthy. NOTICE.

" from Tuesday, November NOW YOU CAN HAVE ELECTRIC LIGHT "Yes, we would like to have electric light, but you know our house was never wired and we don't want to tear it up to put in electricity." This remark was recently made by a lady who had not heard of the facilities now available for wiring all kinds of buildings. A few holes bored here and there in closets or out-of-the-way places, and the wires are drawn through without tearing out plaster or paper. Then you can have ELECTRIC LIGHT and all the other useful electric things—chasing dishes, toasters, coffee percolators, electric fans, electric sewing, etc. etc. The wonderful new Mazda lamp uses only one-third the current used by old style electric lamps and gives much better light. In fact, Mazda light is the best artificial light known today and is at the same time one of the cheapest lights. You can have a Mazda lighted house for no more than you now pay for less satisfactory illuminants. We have a special proposition to make you on wiring your house and putting in Mazda lamps. We allow you six months in which to pay the bill. J. B. Brown, Mark Krouth, A. H. Moffharles, H. T. Taylor, A. A. Doster DIRECTORS:—John Lindas, W. W. Cett.

He has done more for the race and the colored women than any man that ever filled that high office in Kansas. He has given us equal recognition with the white women in the way of appointments, etc., and of given an opportunity will do more. Kansas has a number of trained nurses among our girls, but they were never before given an opportunity in the state institutions where such services are required until Mr. Hodges took hold of the ship of state. He has opened wide the door of hope to our people and protected them in their rights, and we would indeed be a pack of ingrates should we let party prejudice interfere with our assisting a man who has favored us. Aberaham Lincoln is dead and there are no more of his kind among the prejudice white Republicans who use his name and the slavery question as a lash to whip the Negro voter into line. The only black law on the statutes Kansas today was placed there by a Republican legislature and signed by Gov. Fd. Hoeh, who said in a message to the legislature, "I know it is wrong and a step backward," but the white people of Kansas City, Kus., a Republican county and city, wanted it and he being a white man, of course must grant it. Not so with Governor Hodges. The white people (some of and under Gov. Hodges, but he told them right off the bat, "NO," and he stood like a stone wall against it and as a result, Kansas got no Jim Crow laws under the 1913 legislature, nor will she ever have any so long as Mr. Hodges is governor.

Ebton Plainenlert I have been informed that the reporter here has sent to you for publication an account of my winning a prize in the county fair held here (kt. 79. in the run contest. It was a record breaker in Hodgeman county, yet in this contest for a Negro man to win a prize of a 200 pound sack of flour of first class grade is something to think about. I at first did not think much about the matter until after the thing was over; then when I look back and think of the prejudice against our race and the injustice that has been practiced upon us and the judges all white men and the fair managers all white and yet a verdict that a colored man a preacher at that had won the prize in making the best display of corn put the thinking cap on my head. This is written not in a spirit of bragging, but for the encouragement of others of my race who are toiling day after day and manage to exist when such a glorious opportunity is open to them. The Negroes of Kansas and other states can do what others have done and put the race on a higher plane in the race of life. We had good crops this year. Some of my members had from 1400 to 3000 bushels of wheat and corn a plenty. The colored people in Hodgeman county are doing nicely and as they prosper they give of their earnings unto the cause of Christ and thus the work in the church is moving along in fine shape too.
