Interests of Sedalia. None to Any Private Interest. Carefully Looking into Every positions Presented. democratic ward meetings March 1. pursuant to call of the democratic central committee and elected twenty-eight (28) delegates to the regular democratic city convention, which met on March 3 and 8, and regularly nominated the above candidates. The convention was open to all candidates, and not bound to any one. Four hundred and twenty-one (421) republican voters attended the republican ward meetings March 2 and elected twenty-eight (28) delegates to the republican city convention, which met March 3 and 8, and regularly nominated by ballot the same candidates, and the said republican convention was alike open to all candidates, and not bound to any one. Thus one thousand and ten (1010) voters, representing all classes, and STUDIO, AIN STREET. all voters in both the democratic and republican parties of the city chose the fifty-six (56) delegates of both conventions that nominated the above candidates. None of the candidates on the citizens' ticket have been office-seekers, nor have any of them, with but one exception, ever held office under the citizens' movement. The nominations sought the men. They belong to no clique or circle or corporation, but they stand emphatically for protecting the people's rights, and will do it. The delegates are representative men from all trades, occupations and professions, having only in view the good of the city and equal justice to all. Said candidates are therefore, the candidates of both the democratic and republican parties, and the ticket is called the citizens ticket, because it was nominated by the citizens of both the political parties. It stands for the business administration of the city's affairs with party politics left out. It stands for equal protection to the rights of all citizens whatever their occupation. It stands for the up-building of the city, for decent elections and for honest government. It stands emphatically for rights of the laboring man. The so-called independent voters ticket now in the field, after the most industrious advertising, brought together in the ward caucuses one hundred and ninety-seven (197) voters, and after about one week of the most strenuous effort to get signers, only one hundred and sixty-nine (169) persons signed the pledge to support the so-called independent candidates for mayor, marshal, attorney, collector, assessor, police judge and treasurer. Many of the voters attached their names either under misapprehension or only for accommodation, and have since repudiated the pledge The candidate for mayor on the so-called independent ticket had previously solicited the nomination for mayor on the present citizens ticket, endorsing the citizens movement in a speech at the fourth ward democratic caucus, where his name with other candidates for mayor was voted on and he received the lowest vote of all. The candidate for city attorney on the independent ticket solicited the same place on the citizens ticket and was twice voted on with other candidates in the regular democratic convention and fairly defeated. The candidate for councilman in the First ward on the independent ticket was a regular delegate to the republican convention that nominated the citizens ticket, and he participated in all its proceedings. The candidate for councilman of the third ward on tae Independent Ticket took part in the democratic caucus of that ward, and voted on all questions. The republican city convention voted by ballot, 18 to 10, in favor of the citizens ticket. The leader of the ten opposing voters stated emphatically as his reason for opposing the citizens movement that he was too good a republican to affiliate with the democrats, yet he now stands on the independent ticket with John A. Collins, whose strong partisan democracy has never been questioned. Five candidates on the so-called independent ticket have been standing candidates without success for ten to eighteen years before the various republican and democratic conventions for various city and county offices. The citizens ticket is for honest government and clean elections. The so-called independent ticket has no definite policy. DEMOCRATIC CITY CEN. COM. REPUBLICAN CITY CEN. COM.

Rev Leroy Woolrich is in the this week making prepation for moving to Lexington, where he will reside this conference year. Rev John Guyton, who has recently been assigned to this city, is here quite busily preparing for a busy year's work. Services at his church were well attended all day Sunday. There was some weeping and gnashing of teeth Tuesday morning when the young men and also the married men were boarding the train en route to Crystal City where they expect to be employed for this season. Our Twentieth Century calls for men who are willing to work and Farmingtan must furnish her full quota. Mrs Louisa Hill, who has been Superintendent of the M E Sunday school for move than twenty years, left Saturnay for Cleveland Ohio, where she will make her home with her daughter, Mrs Mary Seames.

Tae anniversary exercises of the Knights of Pythias and Calan theans were well attended. The procession started from the Masonic Hall and wended its way to the M E Church, the Knights in full regalia leading the advance while the Calanthean sisters, neatly costumed, added grace and sublime sweetness to the rear.

We stand uncompromisingly you will see at the head of the F estly believe that the interests of continuance of affairs under prent has brought about these fa and uncompromisingly for the Republican at the head of the Editorial Columns, be e that the interests of this city can be best of affairs under present conditions. Bus bought about these favorable conditions, or We stand uncompromisingly for the Republican ticket, which you will see at the head of the Editorial Columns, because we honestly believe that the interests of this city can be best served by the continuance of affairs under present conditions. Business management has brought about these favorable conditions, of the past four years. Sentiment and hot headed politics will not bring balances on the right ride of the city's ledger. Experience has taught us that. It seems to us that the Negro voters of this city have been hood winked sufficiently long by "wise" politicians, to now act by carefully considering propositions set before them. Let us use sense once. Much is being whispered around the corners of the streets and behind closely closed doors, about the glories that are yet to appear at the launching of the Independent conglomeration. We may assume to caution our colored brethern not to build too strongly on those whispered declarations, we hear so much about, because, if the Independents mean to do what they whisper, why advise secrecy and a holding of the lips? Trickery wont work. Declare yourselves. It is a fact that no candidate on the Republican Municipal ticket is interested, directly or indirectly, as stockholder, bondholder or in any other financial way concerned, in any of the public utilities—street car, electric light, gas or water corporations doing business in this city. And these candidates are under no obligation to any of the aforenamed corporations for anything whatsoever. All such allegations are maliciously false and are utterly groundless. Colored citizens, as well as the white, must be careful of the amount of confidence they place in any man or set of men, white or black, who approaches them in a whisper. Such individuals invariably have something appalling to relate but will caution you thus:—"Dont say that I told you a thing. Something is 'doing.'" Be men; vote your honest sentiments; don't permit some sharp politician to "use" you; look, think and act for the common good. GET OFF OF THE FENCE. If you favor the Republican Municipal ticket, declare yourself. For what are you waiting? On the other hand, if you are favorable to the Independent ticket, let it be known. You have a right to be for whatever you may select. If you hesitate longer, many will think that you are either waiting to be slated for the Market Honse janitorship, police, dog catcher or purchance, the tinkle of the anticipated "barrel." The proposition is simply this: Do you wish the administrative affairs of this city managed by conservative business men? If you do, vote the Republican ticket, headed by Bell Hutchinson for mayor. We are fixed in our conclusion and set in our purpose. Some Election Day "Don'ts." Don't wait until sundown before you vote. Its wiser to vote early and then see the boys. Don't make a fool of yourself, if some of the Independents will persist in such a course. Don't forget to take your neighbor with you to the polls early Tuesday morning. Vote wisely. Don't fail to use sense and sober judgment instead of prejudice and bigoted sentimentality. Don't be a "nigger" at the polls, because your face happens to be dark, but be a man if you are black. Don't pretend to know so much about municipal government and what A and B will do when they get your vote. Wait and see. Don't fail to vote a straight republican ticket, because all the candidates are endorsed by all sensible and honorable men. Don't drink before you vote, less you be led into something that you may regret. Remain sober until 7:30 p. m., Tuesday, the 3rd Don't permit some fellow who has a personal grievance against another man, to use you as a tool, to hit his enemy. Use your own judgment. Don't go to scratching for fear that you will loose your ticket. It is advisable that you get off of the fence and let your sentiments be known as a unit. Don't forget to catch for crookedness at the polls, because if one Negro does a bad thing it will be imputed against us all. Better be a self reliant voter this time. Don't loose your head, because a man should be in a good and equable state of mind while exercising the loftiest functions of American citizenship—voting.

It may be gratifying to many to know that one of the most interesting departments of the recent Annual Conference at Lexington was that of the above named society. In comparing the statistics on Saturday evening, the bishop called the attention of the brethren to their methods and asked them to take note. He remarked that the reason that the women had gone from 91 last year to 197 this year was because the women began internally, worked externally and were everlastingly at it. This work is but three years old in this Conference and has 15 auxilliaries, encouraged by Mrs Ward of St Louis, Mrs Mayne Smith of Sgdalia. Mrs Smalley of Bridgeton, Mrs Whaley of Kansas City, Mrs Fulghem of Rolls, Mrs Ella M Palmer of St Louis and Mrs Henley of Louisiana, all Conference officers, besides many ladies present from the auxilliaries. When the Conference voted the officers for the work, while in Seedalia three years ago, the entire Conference had brought up $9 for Woman's Home Missionary cause, but year by year they have listened to the pleadings of these women, and by the aid of nearly every minister they come with good results for this the Silver Anniversary of this society in the great Methodist Episcopal church.
