You have given your blood and mounts in the prosecution of a war that all might enjoy democracy and freedom, and while I am in that body no such law shall be passed." He stuck on the job and at the proper time delivered the knock out blow. Now lets show this fine gentleman that we appreciate what he has done and will do for us. FARMERS' CREAMERY AND ICE CREAM CO. A BIG THING FOR TOPEKA AND KANSAS. 'New Concern is Independent of Trusts and Combines—Fitted With Latest and Best Machinery Money Can Buy. When Claud A Marker called some two hundred business men and farmers together last September and organized The Farmers' Creamery and Ice Cream Company it was a step forward in the business growth and activity of the city, state and county and will also supply a long fall want with both the consumer and producer. This concern is the outlier of the Topsham Creamery, 1000 N. Kansas Avenue, and is capitalized at $100, 000. The firm known as Zeigler and Sons was purchased by the Farmers' Creamery Co., and the building at 13th and Kansas Avenue, formerly occupied by the Zeigler plant has been remodeled and is being used as a cream receiving station and also where hundreds of people are supplied daily with ice and ice cream. The station is a blessing to this section of the city especially to the Colored people, who in these days of high prices are able to secure ice and pay for same as they use it. The plant is equipped with the best and most modern machinery money can buy and their distance into the ice business alone is hailed with joy by all of the citizens thus taking the business out of the hands of one concern, who without competition had the people at their mercy and could charge as they saw fit. They have sold stock to farmers, grocers men and druggists, thus enabling them to manufacture and sell their product at "live and let live" prices. The plant at 1000 N Kansas Ave. has a daily capacity of 1500 gallons of ice cream, 3000 lbs of butter and 20 tons of ice We dropped into the plant one day this week and found it to be among the cleanest and most sanitary concerns we ever visited. Everything moves with precision and on time. Everybody is busy and seems to have but one object in view and that is to give service. However, despite the rush of business, we were courteously received by Mr. Marker, the organizer and manager, who seemed pleased to give us a few minutes of time and readily discussed matters pertaining to business, etc. He is a young man, full of get-up and get, and we feel that the company used good judgment in the selection of such a man as the executive of this concern.

ELISHA SCOTT YOUNG BRILLIANT TOPEKA ATTORNEY WHO BRAVED THE MOB SPIRIT IN DEFENCE OF THE RACE. Mr. C. E. Jackson and Atorney Elissa Scott returned from Duluth, Minu, where claim was filed against the city for $7,500 for the lynching of Mr. Jackson's son, Elmer. He had some trouble in having the body exhumed for identification. The County Attorney did not give the assistance that he should but gave Mr. Jackson to understand that it would cost $5 to have the body taken M. ATTORNEY ELISHA SCOTT Brilliant Young Topeka Attorney who braved the riot spirit of Duluth, Minn. and filed claim for $7,500 for the lynching of Elmer Jackson, son of Mr. W. H Jackson, an old and respected Topeka citizen up but when he found the undertaker he wanted $10 and churged $1 to take the friend of Mr Jackson with him to witness the affair. After the gravy was opened and after reaching the corpse, it was found that the body was in a box of slats. The dirt was in the box and on the face. They had to brush the dirt off the face for identification. The body was found to be in an awful condition and was fearfully mutilated and the head seemed to have been crushed in with an axe or hammer. This boy was a poor innocent creature with nothing against him but the nationality to which he belonged. There was no evidence to convict him for any crime. The rumors that this girl had stayed out late with a young white fellow that caused the news to spread that she had been outraged by some Colored boy. It is a disgrace to the county to allow a body after having been mobbed to be buried like a dog. The state laws of Minnesota provides a certain amount, where a mob violence has been allowed, to destroy life, not to exceed $7,500. This claim is pending before the city of Duluth. It is reported that the official added the mob. This is an outrage and if it is so the guilty culpits should be discharged from the service of a peaceful, heretofore law-abiding and justice serving city. The body was left in Duluth If there is any such thing as justice to be had in the city of Duluth, Attorney Scott can be relied upon to seek out and capture that elusive danger. L. J.

It is universally acknowledged, a part of the worship due to God, a simple and natural expression of dependence, which seems almost necessarily to follow from the belief in the existence of a God. Hence, we find it both where the object of worship is one Supreme Being, and also in the systems of polytheism, or the doctrines of many gods. It is also combined with other part of worship. According to the Christian system however, prayer is not a mere spontaneous approach of man to God, in an endeavor to win his favor, or to obtain from Him a blessing, but a right to approach Him in prayer. And the warrant to expect advantage in doing reats on the revelation of his will. There is no other truth more in disputably taught in our Bible, or more frequently brought into view, both in the Old and the New Testaments, than that God is a hearer and answerer of prayer. For example; the IV Psa. 3 verse, David said, "The Lord will hear when you call upon Him." The 18th Psa. 6 verse, "In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God; he heard my voice out of His temple and my cry came before Him, even into His ears." Isa 58.9, "Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer." Isa 65.24, "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." John 14:14, "If ye will ask anything, in my name, I will do it." I John. 3:22, "Whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in His sight." The necessity and power of prayer is acknowledged by all Christians, and it is regarded by them as of great value in its reflex in, uence on the feelings of the worshiper, and makes it on of the chief means of Grace. Prayer is also regarded by Christians as an ordinance of God, and they believe that they must seek it to be guarded in prayer by the rules of His revealed will. It is therefore, held by Christians in general, in accordance with their doctrine of the Atonement, and the Intercession of Christ, that the only true way of access to God is through the mediation of Jesus Christ, and that prayer must be made in the exercise of faith in Him. Prayer to be acceptable must be for things agreeable to the will of God, as that will is revealed in the word. Therefore prayer for more temperal or earthly things must be made in submission to God will. We must pray as did our Saints, in the Garden of Gethsemani, "Not my will, but Thy will be done." Prayer is a solemn address to God. It is for daily use, and it helps keep our lives in the conscious presence of God. Prayer is a constant source of invigoration to self discipline. Not the thoughtless praying, which is only a custom, but that prayer which is sincere, intense, and watchful. Christ said, "Enter into thy closet." So so think not that you have no convenient place to pray. Christ prayed on a mountain, Peter on the house top, Jonah in the body of the whale. We too, can find a place private enough, if we so desire. Any place may become a closet or a bethel, and be to us in the presence of God. The whole of prayer does not consist in taking hold of God. The main thing is holding onto Him. Many of us fail to get the blessing we ask for, because we are too ready to give up. Jacob, asked the angel for a blessing, he wrestled all night long, and would not let him go until he received the blessing. "Men ought always to pray, and faint not." Prayer should be the key of the day, and the lock of the night. Many owe our escape from scapicism and infidelity to the sacred influence of prayer. If we all but knew the power of prayer, we would not treat it lightly; nor make it a secondary matter in our lives; but it would be first it would be the dominating element that rules our course, and by its might, the tide of sin and wickedness which is sweeping the nations today, would be turned Yes, "Enter into thy closet." This is a strong injunction to every true Christian There, alone with God, the soul is raised to a place where Wonderful Invention 7th guaranteed We pay the War C.A.R. $250 Tax Here is your only chance to buy a watch you can be proud of.

There also the soul is made to realize its own weakness, and is impressed with the Divine love of God, until it comes forth saturated with a fervent desire to go forth and rescue every straggling soul. How Heaven would rejoice, if thru faithfulness, it could look down on this sin stricken world, and behold her subjects bowing at the Cross of Christ, every one saved by prayer. Prayer is the soul's sincere desire. The upward glancing of the eye, When none bt uGod is near. Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gate of death. OUR BROAD TASK AS SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS By Lucile I. Pitts, Ft. Scott, Kansas. We as Sunday School Workers have indeed a broad task to accomplish. And I think all will agree with me when I say that there should be a Sunday School in every community. By Sunday School Workers we mean every one who is interested in the Sunday School and are willing to use their influence to interest others. The most important of these workers are the Sunday School teacher Our teachers should be educated for the great work they must do. How much education should we give our boy or girl to fit them for the great grapple of life? As the world progresses in science and discovery demands become greater for a road and liberal mental training. The education of fifty years ago could not hope to compare with the superior skill and intelligence of today. A boy educated according to the old standards would be just that far behind times in his work of life. And what is true with the secular world is not less true with the religious. The Bible of today is a vastly more important study than the Bible of the last century because we are constantly expanding it to the needs of the world—what a wonderful book it is—the source of all knowledge of the spiritual realm. The masterpiece of literature, unrivalled in simplicity, uplift and eloquence. With its stories of hurried cities and reconstructed men. No man man can lay claim to true culture with out first hand knowledge of the Bible, for it contains God's message to man and unlocked the doors of untold contents. The Church realizes this and has opened its doors to the Children of the world. That in its Sunday Schools the word of God may be appreciatively and thoroughly taught and studied. When we remember that there are twenty million children of school age in this country—one fifth of our population that the Bible is not taught in our secular schools, and that this vast army of children growing up to become the manhood and womanhood of tomorrow would structures in the sacred word were it not for the Sunday School. The importance of this work can not be overestimated. We are spending vast sums of our money in nearly every large city in the United States for the improvement of our public schools. We have Normal training schools to prepare our teachers for the education of our children. Is it not equally important that we have trained teachers for our Sunday Schools? Surely the word of God, the history and great moral laws of our religion are as worthy of scholary treatment as arithmetic and spelling. Certainly our morals are as important as our bodies. Surely the principles of religion should be as intelligently taught as the principles of science. We cannot speak too high of our Sunday School teachers. They are indeed a noble band of volunteers, giving their time and energies without money, with out price, unselfishly to a great cause. Their reward lies in the consciousness of duty well done. But moral standards cannot be more permanently impressed upon the mind of the child than in the Sunday School where their impressive minds are opened to conviction. Unless people do right their success in other fields are of minor importance. People cannot do right unless they know what right is. The way to purify a stream is to begin at the source rather than to establish a filtration plant at the mouth. The prevention of wrong is far more essential than its condemnation. It is easier to teach a child right than to punish the man for doing wrong. The wrong doer violates the maxims and precepts of the Sunday school teacher, he carries into business life principles not recognized in the ten commandments. The Golden rules that adorns the Sunday School walls have been forgotten and false standards being set up. To correct this wrong tendency the Sunday School must endeavor to instill the truth that any attempt to injure the moral nature is dishonest and wrong. It must teach that prosperity of a nation is in direct ratio to the probity of its manhood. So upon the Sunday School depends to a large extent the moulding of young men and women of such character and ideals that will recognise nothing but honesty and truth and shall cherish nobility of principles in all their transactions. The Sunday School teach that manhood is more important than money; that character not gain is the badge of distinction. Did you ever stop to think that there is no form of Christian service you can reader that will do more for your spiritual life than work in the Sunday School. It brings into activity precisely those qualities and powers in you which need be exercised. It is a perfect spiritual gym. It can. OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST.

Mrs. Itachel Allen, one of Emporia's old and respected citizens, passed to the Great Beyond last Saturday. She was born in Tennessee and had lived in Emporia for the past 40 years. She was a leading member of the Baptist Church, and was also the president of the Womans Missionary Society of the Smoky Hill District. She was a pensioner, her husband having died an old soldier several years ago. Charles Crowder undersheriff of Sheriff J. R. Woodward of Douglas County, who says that Crowder has made one of the best officers the county has ever had and feels that he should champion his cause and let the people know who is better fitted for the job. He is a fearless officer, and a terror to criminals and there is no doubt of his nomination and his election. MR. MILT GOULD Mr. Milt Gould who is making the race for Sheriff of Crawford County on the Republican ticket, a one of the best known republicans in that section. He has been loyal to his party and to his state every since e has been a man. He was born on the farm and knows what hardships a laboring man has to pass. He served as under-sheriff four years and was ap pointed by Governor Allen to fill the unexpired term for Mr. Webber. He is serious and honorable. He was called upon o quiet a mob in a riot in Mulberry, where a Colored boy was lynched. He said when he arrived on the scene the mob was in charge and he being almost single handed he could not save the life of the boy, in fact he could not get his hands upon him. He says the mob showed prejudice when a white man whom he knows well came up and announced to the mob that he just came from the woman who said that the white boy had nothing to do with it that it was a Colored man and that is the reason that the white boy was not hung. The mob grabbed him back and it would have been useless for him to have drawn his gun and killed someone. When he was called to the scene he did not anticipate a mob but was looking for trouble as reported to him in Breezy Hill, and he did not know that there was a mob at Mulberry until he arrived on the scene, if he had thought there was going to be a mob he would have deputised enough people to have protected the boy. The sheriff seems to be honest in his expression and his opinion and from what we gleaned from him we think he should be nominated and elected as he will treat every man fair, either white or Colored. From the conversation and what we have seen of him we believe he would have done his duty if he could have got to the boy before the mob HON. GRANT WINNIGER. Hon. Grant Winniger announces himself as candidate for reelection for Probate Judge for Crawford County in August Primary on Republican ticket. He is an upright, conscientious, Christian gentleman, has filled the office to the entire satisfaction of the people. They say he ought to be nominated and reelected and they will do all in their power to see that he is. Such men as Mr. Lankford, Mr. Hughes and Rountree, who are among the best people of the county and also of the Colored race are supporting him. He came to that county in 1869 and has been a farmer and hard working man most of his life. We predict his nomination and election. Let the people rally to his support.

PRIMARY AUGUST 3, 1920. Following the huge war expenditures, by the various departments of our National Government, has now come a financial crisis which is testing the strength of our Government as it has never been tested before. The seriously entangled state of affairs in the various departments at Washington under management of the members of President Wilson's Cabinet, has produced a DEMAND by the American people, that BUSINESS MEN conduct our National affairs. It shall the eighth Kansas Congress District meet this demand? W. shall send a business man to Congress. Darry Dunne is the man. Mr. Dunne has a clean record as a thirteen man, even his political opponents commend his business integrity, he is a keen-minded cleancut business man who in the last twenty-four years of active business life in Sedgwick County has won an enviable reputation for sagacity and integrity. With Darcy Dunne in Congress business interests in the Eighth District would be well cared for. Boost for Dunne—every day is adding to his list of supporters. We want a business man in Congress. Dunne for Congress Executive Committee. KING FILED LATE BUT SAYS HE IS SURE TO WIN One of the last men to file for any office was Hon. J. J. King, well known and popular attorney and real estate dealer, who seeks the Republican nomination for the (33d) district, North Topcka. Mr. King was drafted by some of the most influential white and Colored citizens of the district and now that he is in, is going to play the game to win. Those pushing Mr. King's candidacy say that many things are needed in the district that must come thru the channel of the legislature, and that he is the man to put it over. He is one of the highest legal lights in Kansas, and has made a fine success of everything he ever undertook. He knows the wants and needs of the district, and promises if nominated and elected to use every ounce of his influence in bringing about the wants and needs of his constituents. He has lived in the district for years—knows everybody and everybody knows him, and have confidence in his integrity and ability to do things. He has a fine following among the Colored people of his district, having always responded in cases where they were denied a square deal, and many are openly supporting his candidacy. Mr. King is planning a vacation in Colorado, which will leave his campaign entitlely in the hands of his friends, and he will deeply appreciate anything you may do to further his candidacy. He is a staunch adherent to the Republican party, and has contributed time and money to keep alive the principles of the grand old party. It is a sacrifice for Mr. King to leave his business to serve the people and that will doubtless be appreciated by the people. In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. Hugh W. Skelton, Defendant. PUBLICATION NOTICE! TO HUGH W. SKELTON, GREETINGS: You are hereby notified that you have been sued by the plaintiff, Henrietta Skelton, for a divorce, in the District Court of Shawnee County Kansas. You are further notified that you must answer the petition also herein, on or before the 16th day of July, 1920, or said petition will be taken as true and judgment for divorce will be rendered against you, accordingly. Attorney for Plaintiff. Attest: Mary E. Chapin, Clerk of District Court. Republican Candidates Shawnee County (Continued From Page One. The many friends of Mr. James C. Shimer in the Third Commissioner district are rejoicing over the announcement of his candidacy for member of the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Shimer is the last of the three other candidates to declare for the office, and it was only thru the earnest solicitation of his friends that he consented to permit his name to go before the people, and they are leaving no stint unturned in their search for votes. They are playing him to win and will make every honorable means to secure Mr. Shimer's nomination and action. Mr. Shimer is one of the best known and most successful business men in Shawnee County. Everything to which he sets his hand is a success because he is heart and soul in whatever he undertakes and small things receive or same care and attention at his hands as the large things which is the secret of his splendid success. Mr. Shimer has been engaged in the coal and feed business at 1815 Kansas Ave. for years and has built up a business that is a credit to his thrift, energy and enterprise. The office of County Commissioner is not a new thing to Mr. Shimer, he served Shawnee County in this capacity for two terms and his excellent service to his district and the entire County is the cause of his being drafted to make the race at the coming Republican primaries. Back in the good old days when Topeka had the council system of government, Mr. Shimer served several al terms as a member of that body, and he rendered the city a fine service. He knows the valuation of property in Shawnee County, and promises if elected to render the same efficient service as he did in the past. He knows when money is being wasted—promises if elected to stop the drain upon people's pockets, and handle their affairs in a way that will prove a saving. He has always been on friendly terms with the Colored people of Topeka and Shawnee County, and points with pride to numerous things he has done and is doing to advance the race. Mr. Shimer has number warm personal friends among the old timers who are assisting in putting Mr. Shimer's candidacy before the people. The District comprises the fifth and sixth wards and all the county south of the river. Much interest is being shown in the candidacy of W. C. Ralston, who seeks to serve Shawnee County as Probate Judge. For Years he has been foremost among the forces which have kept alive the principles in Republicanism in County and State. He has worked at all times for the success of the party and his friends say that he is worthy and deserving of the place he seeks and th party owes it to Mr. Ralston. He is a man in the prime of life, rich and ripe in experience, and a lawyer of scholarly attainments backed up with plenty of executive ability, things that would guarantee equal and exact regularity in the con- C. W. duct of the office of Probate Judge. Mr. Ralston is a man of family and the social problems that come before the Probate Judge would be handled from a standpoint of experience. He knows what it is to rear a family and questions of dealing with boys and girls would be handled as he would a personal matter. Mr. Ralston is a clean man, stands well with the Colored people and his fairness to the race is attested by law students in Washburn College who have received instruction at his hands. Not one spooks other than in the highest terms of Mr. Ralston and they say if he is nominated and elected that he will lend valuable assistance to the race in saving wayward boys and girls and that he would lead his energies in seeing that they were given a chance to make good. Mr. Ralston's friends are numbered among the leading Colored men and women of the city and county, and they are pushing his campaign vis-à-vis. He will appreciate your vote and support at the Republican primaries. August 3rd DR. O. A. McDONALD ANNOUNCES Prominent Physician Asks for Office. Among the Republican candidates on the ticket will be found the name of Dr. O. A. McDonald, one of Topeta's foremost physicians, who desires to serve the people as coroner. He is clean, upright and honorable and in every respect worthy and well qualified for the important office he seeks. well qualified for the office he seeks. Dr. McDonald is by no means a politician as his large and growing practice would not permit if he so desired. He was forced into the race by his friends and thus it is left with them to push his cause to victory and they are not asleep on the job. The special attention of the Colored voters HON. W. C. BALSTON is called to the candidacy of Dr. McDonald because of his fairness and ever ready, helping hand in their struggle to gain justice and a foothold in this land of greed, oppression and race hatred. Dr. McDonald is not of the kind who would seek the suffrage of a Colored man or woman when deep down in his heart permeated a feeling against their forward march toward the goal of prosperity and happiness. Those who know him best say that he believes that every person regardless of creed, color or religion should be given the full opportunity and that he would go out of his way to bring this about Realizing that the election of a coowner with three men in the race rests with the Colored voters, Dr. McDonald's many Colored friends urge that the race be not deceived, but are asking them to stand by a man who will stand by them. He is a Republican of the old school and has always been true to the principles of the party. Dr. McDonald wants your vote and support at the coming primaries and will feel grateful for any assistance that you might render JUDGE BAD M. LEE Of the candidates for the office of County Attorney, none are better and more favorably known to the voters and citizens in general than Rad M. Lee, judge of the Court of Topeka. He is a consistent Republican and a man of high integrity and places duty above all else. As Judge of the Court of Topeka, he has been absolutely fair and impartial in every case that has come before him, and he promises if honored by the voters of Shawnee County to conduct the office of County Attorney in the same efficient manner. Judge Lee is thoroughly familiar with the office and duties of the county prosecutor, having served therein as a deputy under W. C. Atehison. He is one of the brightest legal lights before the Shawnee County bar and is amply big enough to handle the affairs of this important office at a saving to the tax-payers and at the same time do his full duty. Judge Lee needs no introduction to the Colored voters of this community. He has always been friendly towards the race and dealt with them fairly and impartially, and by so doing has drawn about him a wide circle of friends, who represent the best element of the race, and they are giving him their active support. Judge Lee is asking for the office upon a record that is clean and apeless and will appreciate any assistance you feel disposed to give him. He has a fine family, is young man, active and above all, is no quitter and his word is as good as gold SENATOR SCHOCH SEEKS SECOND TERM. Simplly asking for the customary second term always given Republican office holders when they make good on the job, Judge Schoch is permitting his name to go before the people of Sawnee County to be voted upon for the office of State Senator. Four years ago he was elected to the State Senate, and points to a fine record in that body, one of service to his constituents and the state at large, and upon this he is asking for your support at the coming Republican primaries. Judge Schoch has appeared upon the platform before the voters of Shawnee County more than any one man in the community, but always a plea for the other fellow, and we imagine that the Judge will have to leave his candidacy to the fellows he assisted as it will appear odd to him to attempt to present a case for himself. He is a staunch, tried, true Republican, and never rests upon his arms when the party's interests are at stake. He is well known to every Colored man and woman in Shawnee County, and has worked side by side with them in politics for years. They know him and just where he stands when it comes to matters pertaining to the best interest of the race, and they can always find him ready and willing to throw off his coat and fight in defense of justice and fair play. Judge Schoch says that his record in dealing with the Colored people is a part of the race's history in their struggle for justice and fair play in the county and state and all he desires that the fact become well known among the race that he is a candidato and he is willing to take a chance. SRANK G. DRENNING The entrance of Mr. Drenning into the race for the Republican nomination for County Attorney of Shawnee County, came as a surprise to many of JOHN H. BURKE his closest friends in the county, and doubtless Mr. Drenning himself did not think he would be in the fight ten days before the time of filing closed. Mr. Drenning's idea of the conduct of that office appealed to some of the most influential citizens of the city and county, and they would not let him say No. He is a brilliant barrister, rich and ripe in experience, fully capable to fill the office. He is bold and fearless in the performance of a duty, uncompromising and valentless in dealing with law violators. Black and white all look alike to Mr. Drenning. His dealings with the Colored people have been square and he has many friends among the race. MR. ED. BUCKMAN Realizing that the election of a County Commissioner in the Third district rests almost wholly with the colored voters of that district many influential Colored men and women are waging a vigorous campaign for the nomination of Mr. Ed Buckman whose name appears on the Republican ballot to be voted upon at the primaries August 3rd. Mr. Buckman is among the largest property holders in Shawnee county, the accumulation of which stands out boldly as a proud and living monument to his thrift, energy and fine business ability. His vast holdings were dug from the soil of Shawnee county, where he has farmed for nearly a half century. He is absolutely fair and square in all his business transactions. He knows the location and value of every piece of land in Shawnee county, thus giving him knowledge most valuable and very essential in just assessment which guarantees that all will be taxed like if he is honored by the voters of the district, and he will use every means to save the people's money and at the same time give them the best that is to be had. Mr. Buckman is not a spend thrift and in case of his nomination and election, would guard the people's money with the same care used in protecting his own bank account. The Colored voters of the district are well acquainted with Mr. Buckman many of whom has dealt with him personally and they praise him for fairness and say that he measures no man by creed, color or religion, and that moral worth and true character are the things that count with him. The Third District comprises the Fifth and Sixth Wards and all the Townships south of the river. Mr. Buckman is a steadfast Republican (alwa) ready to fight the battles of that party and as such is asking for your vote and support, if elected promises to deal with all people alike. He will appreciate, any assistance you may feel disposed to give him. He is a retired farmer and qualified in every respect to fill the position. PAUL H. HEINZ Well Known and Popular Young Attorney Out For Judge of the Court Of Topeka. We take pleasure in acquainting the many readers of The Plaindealer with the candidacy of Mr. Paul Heinz, an honored member of the Shawnee County Bar, who desires to serve the citizens and tax-payers as judge of the Court of Topeka. He has the experience and his thorough knowledge of the law together with a spirit to treat all men fair, ably fits him for the office he seeks. He has been a practising attorney for eight years; city police judge 18 months; city prosecutor 18 months and he has made good in each place he served. Paul Heinz needs no introduction to the Colored voters, having been born in and a resident of Topeka over thirty years. They have watched him grow from a wee tot into a useful citizen—a man worthy of honor, trust and respect. He is well liked because races and religion cut no ice when it comes to a decision where justice and fair play are being trampled under foot. Mr Heinz is a true blue Republican and as such is asking your vote and support at the primaries in August. LEECH FOR SHERIFF Mr. Frank Leech, Marshall of the Court of Topeka, and one of the few members of the 'Old Guard' left on our midst, is making the race for sheriff of Shawnee County), subject to the will of the Republican primarily August 3rd. Mr. Leech has been in the public life of Topeka and Shawnee County; on for over a quarter of a century, and no one can truly say that he ever betrayed a trust or went back on a friend. He has never asked for a place which was worth above an ordinary living but has devoted himself, his energy and oftimes cash, in futhering the ends of others and boosting them into good fat jobs. He thinks after all these years of faithful service that something should be passed his way, and is asking the support of friends for Sheriff. His experience and qualifications are such as to make him an ideal official if nominated and elected. He has followed this class of work for years and would not be an experiment in this office. As Marshall of the Court of Topeka, he has given the people a splendid administration for four years, being in perfect harmony with the law enforcing bodies of both city and county. Mr. Leech has as his Deputy, Mr. Chas C. Lyle, one of the best known and most influential men in the city. Mr. Lyle has served with him for four years, and says that Mr. Leech is not only a splendid official but a fine man personall; that he is absolutely fair and honorable in all transactions, and that creed, color or religion cut no ice with him, he is for the fair, square thing with everybody TOM HURLEY Tom Hurley, candidate for Marshall of the Court of Topeka, desires all of his friends among the Colored people to know that he is running on the Republican ticket, and that he will appreciate their vote and support at the primaries in August. Mr. Hurley says that he will give the race the same square deal they have received in the past in the administration of the affairs of that office. There are very few Colored people obeks who does not know Mr. Hurley and all speak of him as being fair, impartial in his dealings, a fact that is evidenced by the large number of prominent Colored men and women who are leading him their support. SWAT DR. H. L. CLARK The colored voters of Topoka and Shawnee county in considering candidates for the several offices to be voted upon at the coming primaries should take timely warning and above all things swat Dr. H. L. Clark, former city physician and candidate for coroner at the coming primaries. It would be well for them to investigate his treatment of a colored youth confined in the tubercolosis camp a few years ago, and also his action in other cases in which colored people were concerned. Dr. Clark is not respectful enough to give a colored person a hearing should their business call for it. He has nothing whatever for a member of the race to do, and it would be a plain case of suicide for the colored people to give him any support whatever. If you find a colored man or woman talking Clark, tell them to get off of him and line up for one of the other fine gentlemen who seek that office. .W E. (BILL) ANDERSON The many friends of Mr. W. E. (Bill) Anderson, Republican candidate for Clerk of the District Court are working overtime in their effort to put him over at the primaries in August 3, and the) say he is going to win. Bill is one of the finest young fellows in Kansas, born, reared and educated in Shawnee county and comes before the people with a good clean record both as a citizen and a soldier. He knows the work of the office he seeks, and if elected would render invaluable service. Like his patriotic father, he believes in equal rights and justice to all men, and by putting it into practice he has a fine following among the Colored people. Many of the young men and women of the race attended school with Mr. Anderson, and this crowd is for him strong. He solicits your vote and support at the primaries and promises you will have nothing to regret if he is successful. HUGH FISHER FOR STATE BENATOR. Attorney Hugh Fisher, who has served Shawnee County so efficiently for the past two years as County Attorney, now comes to the voters at this time asking for the nomination for State Senator from this district. For the past eleven years he has practiced before the state and federal courts and is not new to the voters of this city and county. As county Attorney has made a spendid record as being straight-forward, clean and impartial in his dealings as an official of the county. Mr. Fisher does not ask the Colored voters for their support on the mere strength of his activities in the Robt. Hill case. He does not wish to take this advantage, but comes to them openly and square and solicits their support on his record as a public officer and guardian of the people's interests. Being a young, active, energetic man, Mr. Fisher feels that as a representative of the citizens in the law making body of this commonwealth, he can do much toward placing on the statute books laws which will be of inestimable value to all the citizens of the great state of Kansas. TINKHAM VEALE SEEKS PROMOTION Deputy County Attorney Wants To Boss the Job It would be a waste of time and space to attempt to tell the Colored people something that they do not know about Mr Tunkham Veale, Lee publican candidate for the office of County Attorney. They have watched him grow from a baby into manhood, and none has a word against his record in dealing with them. Young Veale comes from a long line of the purest and best blood of the proud Saxon race—men and women who b love in and fought that all men might enjoy liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Many of the younger crowd of Colored men and women have attended a school with Mr. Veale, and they are with him for anything he may desire. He is a Washburn graduate and a lawyer of fine ability. He is full of energy, and the fact that he is now deputy County Attorney, amply qualifies him to give the tax payers a good, clean administration in that office. Believing that a man should be advanced when he makes good on a job, Mr. Veale is asking the voters to advance him a step higher and promises if elected, a faithful performance of every duty imposed upon him. He is making a clean, manly campaign (his friends are for him) as he is too busy looking after the duties in the county attorney's office to give much personal attention to a campaign. He has handled some of the heaviest cases that have come before that office and his success is sufficient guarantee that he possesses the stuff to handle the office in a manner that will please the citizens and tax-payers. Mr. Veale wants your vote and support, and proves it by asking thru your own paper. MB CLYDE P COWGILL MR. CLYDE P. COWGILL In various offices to be voted upon at the coming Republican primaries, the attention of the Colored voters of the city of Topeka is directed to Mr. Clyde P. Cowgill, candidate for Judge of the Court of Topeka, Mr. Cowgill has been a practicing attorney for six years and is thoroughly versed in the law and is well qualified to handle the affairs that come before that court. First of all, he is fair and impartial and Colored people having transactions before that court would receive the same treatment as other citizens. This is touched by a large number of influential Colored men and women who are behind Mr. Cowgill's candidacy. They say he has always been friendly to the race, and has never side-stepped when he saw a black man being mistreated. He is kind, considerate and too broad and liberal to crush down any man simply because he is of another race and color. Young Cowgill served overseas in the A. E. F. with honor and credit, leaving a law practice that would require him several years to rebuild THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM [Image of a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression, wearing a suit and tie.] and his Colored friends feel that he should receive this small reward for the sacrifice he has made and they are leaving no stone unturned to bring about his nomination. Personally and otherwise, Mr. Cowgill is a fine young man and will appreciate your vote and support at the coming primaries August 3rd. He is a life-long Republican and win or lose, he will always be found upholding the banner of the party of Lincoln, Sumner and other friends of liberty and justice. LIEUT, W. F. STONESTREET is a candidate for Marshall of the Court of Topeka, on the Republican ticket. He served overseas in the A. E. F. with credit and distinction, and promises the same efficient service to the people that he rendered Uncle Sam on the fighting line in France, in case he is honored with their confidence. Lieut. Stonestreet is a son of Mr. F. M. Stonestreet, the Under-taker. He grew up in Topeka and was educated in the public schools of this city. He is a clean, upright, honorable young man and worthy and well qualified to administer the affairs of this office. He desires his friends to remember him at the primaries August 3rd Speaking of his candidacy, Mr. Stonestreet said: "You don't have to search very hard to find out my attitude toward the Colored people. I have lived in the same house with them all of my life, and a Colored man paid my way thru school. They are a fine class of people, deserve good treatment and I am always going to see that they get it so far as my feeble efforts will permit." FRANK L. TRAVIS FOR INSURANC COMMISSIONER Hon. Frank L. Travis who made one of the best Insurance Commissioners since that office has been instituted, is a candidate for a second term. He is the first real insurance man that ever held that office. He is a practical insurance underwriter and has had years of experience. The people of Kansas made no mistakes when they selected him for this office, which we claim is as important as The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

He has even gone after settlements have been made and compelled the company that was robbing the parties to dig up the balance. The poor and humble can get his attention just as readily as the wealthiest. Mr. Travis saw service in France, he responded to his country's call, stood on the firing line without a tremor and he came home with the honors and badges demonstrating the 1. many herole deeds to his credit. And while in France his many friends in Kansas thought it was no more than due to his honors than to nominate him for this office. He was nominated and elected before he returned from France and there is no doubt of his nomination and election and if the people keep their right mind he will retain this offence for many years to come. --- a! ih a ‘ eo eae: ee ,
