The Copeka Plaindealer Candidates Who Desire Negro Votes will ask for Same Through Papers Published in the Interest of the Race AS ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBUCKLE VIEWS HIS FAILURE IN HILL CASE Here's to Mr. Arbuckle, of Arkansas, who came to Kansas to take Mr. Hill back to Arkansas to be lynched, or burned by the barbarous people of that country. He has lots to say about the great people of Kansas who are civilized, educated and respected. Yes Mr. Arbuckle, the colored people of Kansas are respected and treated as humans rather than as cattle. You never met such an ascitizenship colored white. so I hand sembly of colored and white citizens in all your life in the State of Arkansas, as you did in the state house of the great State of Kansas during the Hill investigation. Of course the colored people vote here and their vote is counted. If they were allowed the same privilege in Arkansas and had their vote counted the standing of Arkansas would be much higher and poor fellows like Hill would not be compelled to seek justice elsewhere. On the other hand as long as you continue to intimidate, beat down, knack, and burn the colored people your state shall always be semilbarric, and no civilized community will have the high respect for that state, as they do for the people of Kansas, and other Northern states. The Hill case is an eye opener for the Arkansas traveler here is Mr. Arbuckle's statement taken from the Sentinel Record of Hot Springs, Arkansas: Attorney General Arbuckle, of Arkansas, who went to Kansas to present reasons why the Negro, Hill, should be extradicted and sent back to Arkansas to answer criminal charges, had the following to say in connection with the failure of his mission: "The influence of the Negro political leaders, together with that of some of the most prominent white politicians was more pressure, apparently, than Governor Allen could COLORED MEN WIN AT STATE CONVENTION Republicans Adopt Resolution That Means Much. The Republican state convention was held at Salina last week and there were something like fifteen colored delegates present. The convention selected the four delegates at large to the national convention, Lieut. W. A. Bettis, editor of The Michita Protest was selected as an alternate to the national convention. Hon. Dorsey Green, of Kansas City, Kansas, was selected as one of the presidential electors. The colored delegates got together and united upon what they wanted at the hands of the convention and also asked the adoption of the following resolution by the convention: In view of the fact that there is an unrest throughout the country, and every faction of the Republican party being concerned in the life of this government we offer the following resolution: Resolved, that we as citizens of Kansas, and delegates of the Kansas State convention ask that delegates elected to the National Convention for the State of Kansas, be instructed to use all honorable means at the National Convention, which meets at Chicago, June 8th, 1920, to cause a resolution to be placed in the Republican platform deploring the conditions of the state of affairs as they exist in the Southern states of this Union by petitioning Congress to make and enact such laws as will reduce the representation of members to Congress in a ration and in accordance with the number of electors voting and counted in said states of the South. Second Resolved that Congress in such resolution and platform be asked to make all crimes such as lynching, burning, and riot at election and other occasions a federal felony and that those responsible for such be prosecuted in the federal courts of this country. Respectfully submitted. T. W. BELL. NICK CHILES, REV. J. R. RANSOM, J C. RODGERS, R. O. CLAYTON, They were referred to the committee on resolutions of which the Hon. stand. His backbone gave way, and he refused to honor the regulation in the face of a proper showing of the demands of the law and of what I believe he really felt should be done and what he would have done when acting free from political pressure. In the whole affair we have a spendid system of government." There you probably have the situation in a nutshell. It is said that Kansas is about half and half in political division. The Democrats are in the majority until the Negro vote is counted on, and then the Republicans manage with the Negro vote to keep in power. It's merely a game of political pawn, and the Negro, being a factor, wins. It is a good thing that the Negroes of Arkansas have not been so degraded in their political ambitions and aspirations. The Negroes of Arkansas who are recognized as leaders of their race are against race rioting, against racial prejudices, and have gone on record that Hill should be brought to trial. The Arkansas Negroes realize that the twelve of their race under penalty of death are none as guilty as this Negro Hill, who was the leader of all the trouble. The Arkansas Negroes want this instigator of the troubles punished. The Kansas Negroes, and Kansas Republican whites, believe their political welfare will be jeopardized if Hill is returned. So they are going to shield this criminal from the law. You can make your own deductions. The facts seem to be outstanding and undisputable. There is a record in the case. The record points to these deductions Arkansas Negroes who want crime punished under the law are in one class. Kansas Negroes and Kansas Republicans who want to be retained in political control, want Hill kept free from trial under the law, and occupy the other class. Mr. Harley, of Lawrence was chairman. He said that they would be adopted as written, but when the committee made its report they were left out. Mr. Bell took the floor and in a strong and stirring speech, appealed to the Republican party to ignore the prejudice and grant the wishes of the sixty thousand colored voters in Kansas. He showed the delegates where they would be a benefit to both white and colored people of the nation, and the Republican party. After this speech the resolutions were adopted unanimously. The following resolution calling the notice of the voters that the colored people want a man nominated for state auditor. The colored people have not held this nor a similar elective position in the state house for years and that it is now high time for some start to be made that will give us recognition. The following is an extract of the second resolution: Resolved that we are in favor of presenting a colored man as state auditor; that we demand further recognition of the colored voters. That we are in favor of presenting the names of four colored men for alternates to the national convention. Committee, T. W. BELI, NICK CHILES, REV. J. R. RANSOM J. C. RODGERS. THANKS TO GOVERNOR ALLEN. The National Association for the Advancement of Coored People, New York, today made public a letter sent by the Association to Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, expressing to him its deep appreciation of his decision in denying extradition to Arkansas of Robert L. Hill, alleged leader of the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America, the organization charged with planning to "massacre" whites in Phillips County, Arkansas early in October, 1919, and in whose behalf counsel provided in the Association contended that Hill could not receive a fair trial in Arkansas, due to local prejudice. Hill was arrested in Kansas City in January and brought to Topeka, whereupon his extradition was demanded by the Arkansas authorities. The Association's letter follows: March 27 1920 Hon. Henry J. Allen, Governor, Topeka, Kansas My Dear Sir: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People desires to express to you its deep appreciation of the decision rendered by you in denying extra-dition to Arkansas of Robert L. Hill and the care you have taken to see that the rights of the Negro were properly safeguarded. In so far as your responsibility for passing upon extradition proceedings was concerned. We are certain that your decision will meet with the approval of all fair minded citizens, and that it is beyond question that the previous trials of Negroes accused of similar offenses to that of Hill proved that Hill could by no means secure a fair trial under present conditions in the State of Arkansas. Sincerely yours. (Signed) JOHN R. SHILLADY. Secretary. KANSANS START CAMPAIGN FOR THE REV. J. R. RANSOM Spirited Fight Will ,Be ,Waged ,to Make Distinguished Citizen a Bishop at St. Louis.

Sidelights on Arkansas. --- The decision of the supreme court of Arkansas as passed a few days ago reversed six cases of the men charged with rioting and murder in that state and passed approval of six. We have never read the full text of the decision, but this shows that the supreme court is biased and of the Jim Crow order. They know that the men were not tried fairly, and there never has been a colored man seated on a Phillips county jury in the past thirty years, when two-thirds of the population are colored. The verdict should have been set aside on the constitutionality of the case as set down by the attorneys but the outside world does not expect a good decision from an Arkansas supreme court when it comes to a case between white and colored people. The court prejudiced its opinion when their feelings rather than the law and facts of the case as set down in the attorneys briefs to the court; influenced their opinions. Following is an extract from a responsible newspaper, The Hot Springs Journal. Supreme Court Passes on Phillips County Cases. As a result of the hearing in the supreme court of the case of the twelve men who were sentenced to death for participation in the Elaine riots judgment was reversed in the cases of Alf Banks, Jr., John Martin, Albert Giles, Joe Fox, Will Wordlow and Ed. Ware, the six men who were condemned to death for killing W. A. Adkins. Judgments of the conviction were affirmed against Frank Hicks, Frank Moore, Ed. Hicks, J. E. Knox, Ed Coleman and Paul Hill, who were condemned to death for the killing of Clinton Lee. The basis on which the reversal of the judgment of the six was made was, that the statute requires the jury to ascertain the degree in all cases of murder and that this statute is mandatory. The jury in each case returned a verdict that "We, the jury, find the defendants (naming him) guilty as charged in the indictment." The supreme court held that on such a verdict the circuit court was not authorized to pronounce judgment, as it is the jury to fix the degree of murder of which they find a defendant guilty, and unless this is the verdict is defective. The defective verdicts will not prevent the men from being tried again and they will be carried to Helena for another trial. In cases of the other six in which the judgment of conviction was affirmed, the facts relied upon for judgment were, that no fair trial was had, or could have been had under the excitement and feeling growing out of the killing and also because of the fact that no Negro was called to serve on the grand jury. These contentions were decided adversely as was also the assignment of error that the verdicts returned were defective ARKANSAS NEGROES DON'T AGREE WITH PROF. BOOKER Hot Springs, Ark, April 3, 1920. Hon. Nick Chiles, Toronto, Kansas. Dear Sir: I read* with considerable pleasure your stricte of Rev. Booker, of our state, caused by his unwarranted procedure in the Elaine matter. You can rest assured that you have struck a responsive chord in Jongol Nerga breasts in our state. Keep up the good work. You are doing incalculable good for the race. We are leaving no stones unturned to fight the matter to its bitter end. Yours for justice and fair play. C. M. WADE, M.

RANSOM Spirited Fight Will .Be .Waged ,to Make Distinguished Citizen a Bishop at St. Louis. To the Members of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church: Greeting In presenting the name of J. R. Ransom, of Kansas, for your consideration as a candidate for the episcopacy, we do it with a full knowledge of the requirements by which a bishop should be measured. J. R. Ransom is a strong gospel preacher, and a man of an unquestionable Christian character. He has been a successful pastor for more than twenty years and a creditable preiding elder for over twelve years. For the past thirty years he has been a citizen of Kansas and as such has grown to the one of the most worthy and useful members of his church and race. Consider well his usefulness to the church as a bishop after reading the brief synopsis of his writings in the West. Being a well know and respected citizen of the commonwealth of Kansas, which state is the cradle of liberty and whose laws and court gives to the Black Man a full measure of justice, he is one of the strongest instrumentalities of the church and race to work out the perplexing problems of our people. As a private citizen and ordinary gospel preacher, he has by clean citizenship and faithful service developed into one of the strongest and most influential characters of the West. He stands the peer of any man in the church for faithfulness and effective service and for loyalty and honesty to his colleagues he cannot be excelled. Once before he has asked the church for episcopal honors, but left the conference uncrowded. Nevertheless, he has not faltered in his service or wavered in his fidelity. J. R. Ransom's life and character has been an inspiration to a rising generation and many young men have been influenced and converted by his exemplary teachings of manhood and womanhood. As a race leader he has a record that is open for inspection, never bartering or trading his race's interest to expedite any solitary motive, never compromising his stand for equal rights, social, political or industrial, for his people. Yes, he is a man of great political power and exercises it not for money and in public, but for the mutual welfare of a struggling race. Congressional representatives of Kansas believe in his worth and have gone to "the bat for the race's interest many times on Ransom's solicitations. If he were a bishop his influence would be more far reaching for the interests of the church and the race. His record further shows that he certainly would not embarrass the episcopacy by neglecting to stand firm when an issue affecting the race confronted him. The church needs Ransom and men of his type. There is no use masquerading the fact that favor and pull are influencing many men rather than sober judgment and the welfare of our beloved church Thousands of Negroes are coming North and West and their interests must be safeguarded. Place the right men in a position to help the church and the race. The solution of our problem is wrapped up in our social and industrial freedom and the race both North and South must co-operate for its realization. Therefore, brethren, think again and vote for the good of the church and the race. Respectfully submitted J. H. B. TAYLOR, Ch'mn, CHAR. C. LYTLE, G. W. HAMILTON, J. L. RANSOM, Publicity Committee of J. R. Ransom for Bishop club. The Rev. Ransom, who resides in Wichita, was a Topeka visitor one day last week and flatly denied a story that is going the rounds to the effect that he is seeking to be Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. Among other things he said; "You say in The Plaindealer for me that I'm not seeking political honors, nor would I accept the Recordership were it tendered me on a gold platter. My life work has and will continue to be for the uplift and advancement of my race and the African Methodist church, and the only honors I seek in this life can and must be conferred by this great body whom I am serving to the best of my ability. I love the African Methodist church and expect to die in the harness working for its advancement. I don't know how such a story could possibly been started unless it is the work of someone who desires to interfere with my excellent chance to become bishop." SOLVING THE PROBLEM. Macon, Mo—Rev D. L. Howard, one our distinguished citizens and family, after being in the grocery business in this city for several years has sold out his business and also his beautiful residence and has purchased a farm six miles southeast of Macon, which comprises 150 acres, where he and his family are beautifully located on the public highway. It is located in Round Grove Township and is a well improved farm. The purchase price was $10,500. He extends a cordial invitation to friends to visit him at any time or write to him at Macon, Mo., Route 5. The name Charles Banks has become, throughout Mississippi and the nation, suggestive of a man of superb thought, large vision, undaunted courage; and to "nutshell it," a man whose career is an embodiment of big achievements and the fittest meaning of success. Tutored in the public schools of Clarksdale, Miss., his birthplace and the Rust University, Holly Springs, only, he has no claim to any superior academic education, as it relates to learning acquired by completion of leading university curricula; however, if a resourcefulness of mind commensurate to a successful organization of forces for the facilitation of life's problems and the working out of big HON. CHAS. BANKS, Wizard of Mound Bayou, Mississippi enterprises, is evidence of education he is one of the best educated men of the race. His almost perpetual battling with such massive undertakings as the organizing of a bank, the development of a Negro municipality, the founding and financing of gigantic $100,000 cotton seed oil mill, sharing the leadership of the National Negro Business League, and similar closal endeavors, bespeak an impelling and innate propensity which some writers determine, "gentus." The propositions with which Mr. Banks is always found dealing are of staggering proportions, and as that cooperative spirit, which authorities on the intricate and detailed manipulation of big ventures, affirm as being indispensable to the success of such undertakings, as yet far lacking of fullest of the mammoth concerns headed by Mr. Banks, were doomed to ultimate failure and, considering the undeveloped state of the masses upon whom any Negro pioneer must depend as a background, it is indeed miraculous how Banks, when he espouses a cause almost invariably holds his grip, until the goal is accomplished. But Banks, rails not. The "Bank of Mound Bayou," which was the product of his brain, was once thought dead, but it was not—it was only sleep, but in due time he reincarnated into the present "Mound Bayou State Bank." Banks fathered the Mound Bayou Oil Mill project, on a scale, which many of his heartiest friends and supporters cautioned as being too hecticule; and, so long did the plant lay dead during the last few years, that many if not most of the stockholders began to fear that their leader, Banks, had given down under the load, but to the delight of the many friends of the institution, the wheels of the plant are now heard whirling night and day, and a class of oil and other product is being turned out, which equals that of any factory to be found anywhere and this "Victory out of defeat," was effected under the management of Charles Banks. Among Bank's late maneuvers are the organization of a company to do a cotton factory business; the Mound Hayson Supply Co., which is a mercantile establishment that will do credit to any town in the state; and the taking over of 2142 acres of farm lands near Wynne, Ark., and through a plan devised by Banks, Clio, a little sawmill town in Arkansas, has been taken over, its name changed to "Peace," and under the management of Prof J A Patterson, is being developed into a distinct Negro municipality. The average surrounding this place is about 4000. Charles Banks is a remarkable character. He was born March 25, 1873, and is yet only 46 years old in sketching Banks's life, in "The Negro at Mound Bayou," in the year 1909, the author, the late brilliant A. P. Hood, wrote, "The story of the life and works of Charles Banks during the past six years would involve a complete comprehensive history of the town of Mound Bayou for the same period." What Prof. Hood said of Mound Bayou's history as was covered by the six years of proceeding ten years ago, is equally applicable to the town's history since Banks took up residence here, in 1903. There are a few worth while things Price $1.50 Per Year in the Mound Bayou community which have not felt the magic wand of his hand and influence. He is one of the largest stockholders of the Farmers' Co-Operative Mercantile Co. His spirit of philanthropy is tangibly felt, not only by the various churches and institutions of Mound Bayou, but it is felt by other leading institutions throughout the state—several schools namely, Campbell College and the Utica Normal and Industrial institute being beneficiaries of scholarships provided by him. Mr. Banks has shared political honors to a degree to be envied. He was appointed supervisor of the census for the Third district of Mississippi, by President McKinley, in 1900; he was a delegate to the National Republican Convention of 1904, from the Third congressional district; and a delegate from the state-large to the Chicago convention of 1908, which nominated William II. Taft for the U. S. presidency. As evidence of Banks's conception of Theodore Roosevelt's worth as a national leader, in the National Republican Convention of 1812, he declined an offer to second the presidential nomination of William Howard Taft, preferring to support "Teddy." In fact, Banks and Roosevelt were intimate friends; and in the 1912 national campaign, Banks dealing directly with Geo. W. Perkins of the firm of J. Pierpont Morgan, lead Roosevelt's colored following." During the Taft administration, Chas. Banks accompanied by ex-registrar of the U. S. Treasury J. C. Napler, called personally on the president to the end of having Negroes receive their prerata of the patronage in connection with the taking of the twelfth census; and as a result, the race was liberally considered in the patronage distribution. The federal court at Clarkadale, stands as a monument to Banks. Influential intercession—Banks made a special trip to Washington to the end of making the institution a fact. The importance of this achievement is easy appreciated when it is considered that before the establishment of that court house, people of this section having business with the federal government were put to no inconvenience of communicating thru the departments at Vicksburg or Oxford. Charles Banks has been in Mound Bayou, only about fifteen years, yet so interwoven has he become into Mound Bayou's general life, that the municipality and community constitute a reasonably comprehensive index to the wealth of his veritable and voluminous characteristics. Mound Bayou's attitude towards the opposite race, and the influence which she is gradually but surely emiling in the race adjustment, the county over is in a large measure a duplication of the friendly relations maintained between Banks and the community's neighboring whites. The principal local institutions for financing the affairs of the Mound Bayou community, are the product of the deviences of Banks. Several additions to the town bear his name, and the $4000 gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie for the erection of the Carnegie Library at Mound Bayou was procured through the influence and personal effort of Charles Banks. Truly it was through apparent lagging of some of the extraordinarily closal endeavors championed by Mr. Banks, that Mound Bayou had a temporary slump in the pride of the general public and it is through the unconquerable, superb, and inexplicable skill of Charles Banks that Mound Bayou has gotten conclusively back on the map. The music of mill and factory wheels, the large variety of mercantile establishments, the magnificent churches, the little college here which is beginning to attract county and state wide attention, the great consolidated school system which has been finally worked out; the about 30,000 acres of fertile land which form the unmistakable packing of the Mound Bayou municipality and the approximately 6000 happy, prosperous and contented Negroes comprising the delitizenship of Mound Bayou territory are but a fulfillment of the prophecy of Charles Banks, enunciated in Prof Hood's "Negro at Mound Bayou," in 1805: What of the future was propounded to Mr. Banks by a representative of the Planter's Journal, of Memphis, Tenn., and we quote his reply. Mr. Banks says, "You ask what of the future of Mound Bayou?" What Mound Bayou is now and what it has already accomplished is largely prophetic of its future. Situated in the great alluvial Delta district, lands, the productive qualities of which are not surpassed by any known civilization, timbered by hardwood that finds ready sale at fabulous prices, her natural advantages are admirable indeed. No part of this great montage has yet reached its full development the beautiful, thrilling, bustling towns dotted here and there, throughout the delta, with their factories, waterworks, electric lights and other modern improvements have reached their present stage with the Delta only partially developed. What may we expect when practically all the lands have been cleared, properly drained and tiled and full supply of contented and efficient labor everywhere to do the work* "In proportion as the whole Delta approaches these conditions, Wound lavour will progress also. There is another distinction that is more than likely to come to Wound lavour.

They were very much impressed with the affair and The Plaindealer feels indebted to them for the following brief anyopsis of the most excellent program: The Chancellor Commander Dennis Lowery gave three raps and all were seated. Corporal J. M. Sampson, master-at-arms, received orders from the Chancellor Commander and in a very dignified manner reported to the inner guard. The Master-at-Arms assured the Chancellor Commander that his orders had been obeyed. In turn the Chancellor commander declared the lodge open and turned the gavel over to Mr. Sam Lowery, master of ceremonies who played well his part. The Master of Ceremonies gave two raps, all arose and sang. The Lord's Prayer was led by the Master of Ceremonies. The Court of Calanthe was in their regular and looked very nice. The sermon was preached by a minister from Kansas City, and truly it was an able effort. The collection was $50.06. BARBER WANTED for a first-class shop, 110 N. Greenwood Ave., Tulsa, Okla.—Rev. C.

He has very recently returned from a trip in Pennsylvania, where he visited his daughter. He looks well, feels good and says that the bank is progressing and that the people are rolling in prosperity as can be gleaned by the large volume of business being done by his institution.

Mrs. Perry Johnson served a nine birthday dinner in honor of her husband, Mrs. Perry Johnson at their country home, eleven miles west of Topeka. This was his fifty-first birthday and he is now just a boy; robust and healthy. Mrs. Johnson called up a few of his friends and invited them to come out Sunday at 2 p. m. and celebrated this great event. Hon. Elisha Scott, Mr. J, H. B. Taylor, of the state house, Mr. Charles C. Lytle, marshall of the Court of Topeka and the editor of The Plaindealer, responded to the call, although the wind was blowing forty miles an hour from the west and the thermometer registering twenty above we could not resist the temptation for we all knew what good things to eat were in store for us. We arrived on time and after greeting Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, their two daughters and little grandchild, we soon forgot the chilly winds when our eyes behind a table laden with a huge dish heavily laden with fried chicken and plenty left in the pan, enclosed oysters, mashed potatoes, stewed corn, pies, cakes, pure country buttermilk and pure country fruit juice and hot biscuits with country butter.. We did ample justice to all of these good things and had a most enjoyable time in music, singing swapping jokes until late in the evening. Mrs. Johnson is certainly a fine housekeeper and one of the most industrious ladies to be met anywhere. Mr. Johnson says the Lord never created any better or smarter woman than his beloved helpmate. Mr. Johnson is one of the colored men of Shawnee county who brings things to pass. He hauls the farmers' cream from that community to the Beatrice Creamery Co., in Topeka, the largest institution of the kind in the world. He has hauled to this plant for over fourteen years and never missed but twice in that time and that was on account of sickness and death in the family. He started out there as a farm hand, and he now owns forty acres of land, house, barn, hog and chicken house, also a large barn for milking his cows. He has several milch cows which furnish milk for the Beatrice Creamery and several head of other cattle. He raises and sells several hundred dollars worth of hogs each year. He hauls back the churned milk from the creamery to feed his hogs and chickens galore. Mr. Johnson has made good. Let others follow in his footsteps. It can be done Long live the Johnsons.

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR The Rev. James Arthur Hamlett, editor of the Christian Index, Jackson Tenn., was in Topeka last week and preached for Rev. Bowers at the C. M. E. church. On Sunday evening he preached for the Rev. Lowe, of Jamison Chapel, Kansas City, Mo. He is attending the Northwestern University at Chicago, for he believes that the ministers should keep pace with the times and therefore he is brushing up. Rev. Hamlett is one of the leading ministers of the country, a race man and stands for high morals. His many friends say that he will be elected bishop on the first ballot at the general conference.

A RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS Executive Departments Consolidated Business Men Put In Office Sound Financial Policy App plied to State Affair. Gov. Frank O. Lowden's great record as war executive of Illinois has made him one of the leading candidates for the Republican nomination for president. It is a story of administrative achievements. Every pledge to the people has been redeemed. Despite high prices and unsettled conditions due to the war, Gov. Lowden, by the practical application of business methods to the management of the state's affairs, reduced the tax rate in Illinois 33 per cent in two years. His friends are certain that he can do for the nation what he has done for Illinois in the matter of good government and lower taxes if he is given the opportunities. When governor Lowden assumed office as executive of Illinois in January, 1817, the state Treasury was prefectly bankrupt. There was only 120 to the credit of the general fund when outstanding bills had been paid. One of his first oncologic acts was to abolish many political jobs by combining the work of 125 different departments and bureaus into blue compact central departments. Lowden also had the state adopt a budget system which he thought would be a model for other commonwealths. He placed business men and trained experts in charge of each of those departments with gratifying results to the taxpayers. The cost of conducting the state government was reduced hundreds of thousands of dollars a year while the quality of service to the public showed a marked improvement. The effects of a business administration in the state were manifest in a short time. The state gradually built up a cash balance and was able to discount its bills. As a practical illustration of what good government means it is officially estimated that Illinois will have a cash balance of $9877,227 on hand July 1, 1920, in spite of a reduction of 33 per cent in the tax rate. This is what Gov. Lowden's business administration has done for Illinois. In addition to these things Gov. Lowden succeeded in accomplishing these concrete results: Began work on the state's $20,000,000 good roads system. Two hundred miles of good road were built last year. One thousand miles will be completed in 1920. Authorized the beginning of work on the last link of the state's system of waterways, which will connect the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River. Obtained needed tax reforms for the people. Reorganized the state's penal and charitable institutions on a humane basis. Brought about a constitutional convention for Illinois, which is now in session forming a new basic law for the state. Friends of Gov. Lowden believe that actions speak louder than words, and they point to his public record as evidence that he is the type of man needed for president in this critical period of the country's history. PROGRESSIVE PARTY CHIEFS BACK LOWDEN PROGRESSIVE PARTY CHIEFS BACK LOWDEN SENATOR McCORMICK, HAROLD ICKES AND OTHERS PUSH ILLINOISAN IN RACE. The closest friends of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt and former leaders of the Progressive party in Illinois and other states of the middle West are enthusiastically supporting Gov. Frank O. Lowdons candidacy for the Republican nomination for president. United States Senator Medill McCormick is one of the most active workers in Gov. Lowdons behalf, both in Washington and in Chicago. Other former Progressives who are fighting for Lowden in the present campaign are: Harold L. Ickes, former chairman of the national committee of the Progressive party; Congressman Ira C. Copley of Aurora; B. P. Harris of Champaign; Frank H. Punk of Bloomington, Progressive party candidate for governor of Illinois in 1912; George H. Porter of Chicago, and Thomas D. Knight, former president of the Chicago Progressive club, Col. Ramsavelt was the guest of Gov. Lowden for three days at the executive mansion in Springfield, Ill., in August, and again in October, 1918. If nominated for president Gov. Lowden will, in the opinion of the leaders, write all factions of the party. He is perhaps the only candidate mentioned acceptable to the old leaders as well as to the Progressive element. WANTED!
