STRONG TICKET FOR REPUBLICANS AMIM, JONES, WEINBRENNER AND SLATER WIN NOMINATIONS—FIGHT ON RALPH TURNER—L. S. WILLIAMS LOSES COMMITTEE FIGHT. VOL. V. NO. 17 STRONG FOR REPU LAMM, JONES, WEINBRENNEN TIONS—FIGHT ON RALLY LOSES COMMITTEE FIGHT The primary election which was held in this city last Tuesday was perhaps the most interesting one that has been held in St. Louis, in many years. There were many factions, as well as individuals out contending for their favorite candidates. The majority of the Negroes voted for Judge Lamm for governor. He was chosen the Republican nominee by a large majority. The candidates who were lined up with the Koeln-Stifel faction were generally the lucky ones, thus showing the power and influence Mr. Koeln has in St. Louis politics. Judge Lamm was Mr. Koeln's choice. The Negro Voters Protective League This organization played an important part in the election. Having made the best slate, and picked more winners than any other organization in the city. Winners on their slate were: Judge Lamm for Governor, Roy F. Britton for Lieutenant-Governor, George E. Hackmann for State Auditor, Alfred A. Vitt for State Treasurer; Edward Higbee for Judge of Supreme Court, Division No. 2; J. H. Barto for Representative in Congress for Eleventh Congressional District; L. C. Dyer for Representative in Congress for Twelfth Congressional District; Leo S. Rassieur, M. Hartman, Vital W. Garesche, John W. Calhoun, Victor H. Falkenhainer, Wilson A. Taylor for Judges of the Circuit Court for the Eighth Judicial Cir- $5,000 Toward New Y.M.C.A. Announcement has just been made that a check for $5,000 toward the new Y. M. C. A. for our men has within the last few days been received by the treasurer of the Y. M. C. A. from the Pullman Company. This contribution is credited on the $75,000, which the Metropolitan Board of Directors has received for the Colored Branch, as Mr. Hanford Crawford, the president of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Philemon Bevis, the general secretary of the St. Louis Young Men's Christian Association, made a special trip to Chicago for the purpose of enlisting the Pullman Company's interest in the project. An interesting story of the genuine enthusiasm of the Pullman employees for the Y. M. C. A. is attached to this gift. In the campaign, which was held in December the Pullman employees made a fine showing as workers on teams and as contributors toward the Building Fund. The total subscriptions from Pullman men went to a figure beyond $1,000, and in a number of instances these subscriptions have been paid at the regular time of payment. A large number of employees have signified their intention of paying the pledge in the month of August and on September 1. The Pullman employees sent to the company a petition setting forth the interest which the St. Louis Porters, numbering over 600, had in this new Y. M. C. A. project. Their petition for a gift was indorsed to the district superintendent, Mr. Burr. Doubtless their petition and certainly their interest had great weight in helping the company to decide to give $5,000 toward the new branch building. This is most unusual, in view of the fact that never before has the Pullman Company made a gift to an institution of this kind outside of Chicago. The Board of Managers of the Colored Branch Young Men's Christian Association, which has charge of the collection of the money for the new building, announces that nearly $12,000 has been collected for the new building and the Board of Managers confidently expects that the collection will take a rise shortly, as a number of men are working with the secretary on the matter of collections. Indeed the Pullman Company's contribution has stimulated already the employees of the company in making their payments. One of the oldest employees in the company, who resides in St. Louis came in on Tuesday and finished up his pledge, expressing the confidence that the other men would follow. ODD FELLOWS LAWN SOCIAL What promises to be the most enjoyable affair of its kind this season is the select lawn social to be given by the Odd Fellows and Sisters of the Household of Rath on the spacious lawn at 4431 Cottage Avenue, Friday, August 11, beginning at 7 p.m. Refreshments, such as barbecued meats, fried fish, ice cream and cold drinks, will be served and a select band will furnish the 'best of music. The St. Louis Argus cuit; Chauncey J. Krueger for Judge of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction; Seeebert G. Jones for Circuit Attorney for city of St. Louis; Geo. P. Weinbrenner for Sheriff for city of St. Louis; Frank M. Slater for Public Administrator for City of St. Louis; Rudolph S. Vitt for Coroner for City of St. Louis. The contest in the seventeenth ward for committeeman between L. S. Williams and Hon. Frank M. Slater (white) was quite interesting, and while Negroes polled seventy-five per cent of the votes, Mr. Slater won by more than two to one, over Mr. Williams. Those who claim to know the game say that the Negroes are ready and willing to support a member of their race for the good of all the people, but they are opposed to a "one man's candidate," claiming that Ralph Turner, was the chief factor behind the movement. The political leaders among the Negroes declare that they will have nothing to do with Turners' political schemes to push himself, regardless of "who it hurts." This has caused a great loss to the race in St. Louis in the past, and while they all manifest the highest regard for Mr. Williams, they were sorry he was not the selection of the people. This election has changed the situation and complexion of politics among the Negroes. Only a very few Negroes voted the Democratic ticket at the primaries. Grand Moonlight River Excursion The largest, classiest and best Moonlight Excursion ever given by Jesse J. Johnson, on the beautiful steamer Grey Eagle, will take place Monday evening, August 14, 1916. Music will be furnished by the Great Western Band, Committee: Chas.

Admission, thirty-five cents STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 2363 Market Street A change in the agency directorship in the local office of the Standard Life Insurance Company, of Atlanta, Ga., has just been announced by the secretary of the company, Mr. H. H. Pace. Mr. G. H. Fearing, who has come to our city recently, has charge of the local office, succeeding Mr. C. R. Robinson, who has had charge ever since the office was located here, about three years ago. Mr. Fearing has associated with him Mr. T. A. Dickson, as special representative; and these two hustling young men have won the confidence and good will of the community, and it is safe to predict for them much success. COMAS CLUB ENTERTAINED On one of their usual outings the Comas Club was entertained at the Barnette farm, Webster Groves, Sunday, July 30, in honor of one of their new members, Mr. Fred Tidwell, and his fiancee, Miss Veora Gibbs (the date of the wedding is to be November 25).

TILLMAN DECLARES AGAINST SLAVERY Washington, July 29.—"I never believed it possible that I could do it, but slowly and by degrees I have come to think that it was best for all concerned that the South was defeated," said Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, urging passage of a bill dealing with Arlington National Cemetery. "Slavery," he continued, "was a curse which had to be destroyed ere the South and the world could advance. It was a curse for which the South was no more responsible than the North. Both sections were responsible and both paid four long, bloody years of pence for their joint sin. "Slavery had to go and while it went in the worst possible way and its going gave birth to an apparently unsolvable problem, still I, who was born in and of the old South, am glad it is gone never to return. I am glad, also, that the idea of nationality has supplanted that of confederation despite the danger involved. And so, I can find it in my heart to want to make the amphitheater at Arlington truly national in its scope." Garden Symposium Takes New Life The Lane Tabernacle Carnival at Garden Symposium, 4013-15 Fairfax, has taken on new life. New and better attractions have been added. The free shows of the wonderful acrobat are creating a sensation. The Moving Pictures are also a drawing card. Come and enjoy yourselves. There are yet left a few more concessions that can be procured by consulting, C. G. Jones. The Symposium is an ideal place to spend the warm summer nights, after the laborousness of these hot summer days, amidst cooling refreshments, etc. The Symposium will continue indefinitely for the specific purpose of those who are desirous of spending a pleasant evening. The music has embellished the performances greatly and has been a pleasing feature of the Symposium. PORO COLLEGE OUTING A large crowd of patrons and friends attended the annual outing of the employees of the college last Thursday at O'Fallon Park. The day was of unusual interest to the visitor on account of the large number of employees that were seen on the ground. Everybody seemed to enjoy the affair and wherever there was a deficit in pleasure the proprietors, Mr. and Mrs. Malone, were there with their generous hands to make it up.

THREE YEAR LIMIT LAW HELD IN ABEYANCE BY GRAND LODGE, PENDING SESSIONS OF THE SUPREME LODGE. At the Grand Lodge Session held in Macon, Mo., July 25th to 28th, inclusive, the Representatives and Officers repudiated the efforts of certain men to defeat A. W. Lloyd for Grand Chancellor to succeed himself, by an overwhelming vote. Three years ago a resolution was adopted limiting the consecutive terms of a Grand Chancellor to three years. Unknown to the schemers, Mr. Lloyd submitted the new law to the Supreme Lodge on its constitutionality at the Columbus Session last year. The Supreme Lodge referred the matter to Supreme Chancellor Green, where it is still pending, subject to compliance with certain requirements of the Supreme Chancellor, and it was on these grounds that the Grand Lodge very properly declared the law inoperative. Fraternal Journals, and the press in general have been greatly interested in the Missouri question and the fight on A. W. Lloyd, and many editorials have been written on the subject, excerpts from some of them being here appended. membership of about 4,800 representing insurance of about $1,200,000.00. The Society complies with provisions of Section 25—Mobile Law, and attached hereto is a copy of the notice sent to the membership with said section. The affairs of the Society are efficiently and economically managed. The books are kept in good shape, and the Society is conducting its business in accordance with Law.17 Respectfully submitted; Robert E. Daley, A. W. Stewart, Examiners. All of the above is a splendid tribute to Mr. Lloyd, and the Pythians of Missouri honored themselves by his reelection. PROCLAMATION NO. 1 July 31, 1916. To the Grand Lodge Officers and Members, Chancellor Commanders and Members of all Subordinate Lodges. Fraternal Informer, Phila, Pa. "It appears that the members of the Grand Lodge of P. of Mo., have fallen in the wake of their white Constituencies, much to the regret of the members of their sister states. A. W. Lloyd, the Grand Chancellor, whom it cannot be denied, took hold of the Order in Missouri, when it was buried under the weight of human selfharm, but his racial and fraternal pride, backed by that sagacity that permeates within all Generals, caused him to take the reins of government and go forward like a gale of wind traveling at the rate of 60 miles an hour, until he brought the Grand Jurisdiction of Mo., to a station on progressive's railway, where she is justified in boasting that 'we trail behind none.'" "Hon. A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor of Missouri, has issued a circular showing $241,464.91 paid to Beneficiaries from the Endowment Fund. The circular contains several commendatory letters on the administration of Sir Lloyd, which indicates that the law which would force the retirement of the great Missouri leader was unwise and should be repealed. Sir Lloyd has been through a few storms while piloting the Pythian ship of Missouri, but that he has weathered them all, and brought her to the port of success, none will deny." The Home Protective Record, Hannibal, Mo., Western Christian Recorder, Kansas City, Mo., Topeka Plain Dealer, Topeka, Kansas, The Search Light, Sedalia, Mo., The Western Messenger, Jefferson City, Kansas City Sun, Kansas City, Mo., The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Virginia, The St. Louis Argus and Fraternal Clarion of St. Louis, and other papers have spoken in praise of the works of Grand Chancellor Lloyd, condemning the unfair-methods used in-attempting to defeat him for re-election. The Missouri State Insurance Examiners closed their report on the condition of the Knights of Pythias of Missouri, October, 1915, in the following language: Grand Attorney, L. A. Knox, Kansas City, Mo. Past Grand Chancellor, Jas. P. Maynard, Kansas City, Mo. Supreme Representatives, C. K. Robinson and Dr. T. A. Curtis, St. Louis, Mo. I call upon every member of the jurisdiction to rally to the support of his Lodge in order that we may not only maintain our high standing, but show decided improvement by the time the Supreme Lodge meets. "All death claims are paid promptly. There are 96 Subordinate Lodges with a Mississippi Baptists Expel Members Special-Jackson, Miss., July 22.—The Mississippi General Mission Baptist Convention which has been in session here during the week presided over by Dr. A. M. Johnson, by unanimous vote, the convention withdrew the hand of fellowship from the Rev. Dr. E. P. Jones, of Vicksburg, and Dr. G. W. Gayles, of Greenville, declaring them in disorder with the Baptists of the state. Last Tuesday, Dr. Jones, and Rev. Gayles, assisted by Reva. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville and C. H.

All of the above is a splendid tribute to Mr. Lloyd, and the Pythians of Missouri honored themselves by his reelection. PROCLAMATION NO.1 To the Grand Lodge Officers and Members, Chancellor Commanders and Members of all Subordinate Lodges: Greeting: The Grand Lodge Session just closed at Macon, Missouri, was well attended and general satisfaction with conditions was demonstrated by the fact that it is the first session for many years that no New Laws were passed. The Order is in splendid condition, all things considered, and we are looking forward to great preparations for the entertainment of the Supreme Lodge in St. Louis in 1917. The 3-year law on the office of Grand Chancellor was held to be void by me as the matter had been submitted to the Supreme Chancellor for a decision, and this ruling was sustained by the Committee on Law and Supervision, and approved on roll call by a large majority of the Grand Lodge Officers and Representatives. The matter now rests until the meeting of the Supreme Lodge in 1917. The officers elected for 1916-1917: A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor, 3137 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo. Grand Vice Chancellor, Prof. A. C. Maclin, Hannibal, Mo. Grand Prelate, Arthur Robinson, 3006 Market St., St. Louis, Mo. Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, W. T. Ancell, 3287 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo. Grand Master of Exchequer, Prof. J. B. Coleman, Columbia, Mo. Grand Locfurer, Prof. B. F. Adams, Festus, Mo. Grand Medical Register, Dr. W. S. Carrion, 1019 Francis St., St. Joseph, Mo. Grand Master at Arms, Albert M. Oliver, Box 175, Cape Girardeau, Mo. Grand Inner Guard, J. T. Ancell, Macon, Mo. Grand Outer Guard, N. E. Brunson, Neelyville, Mo. The next session of the Grand Lodge will be held in Hannibal, Mo., and I urge each Lodge to strive to be represented at that session. The minutes of the session just closed will be published and distributed as soon as possible, in which the transactions of the Grand Lodge and reports of officers will be given in detail. I join all loyal members of the Order in best wishes for prosperity, harmony and peace within the borders of our Grand Domain, and a continued march onward and upward. Done at my office in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, the year and day first above written. W. T. Ancell, G. K. of R. and S. A. W. LLOYD, Grand Chancellor. in Chicago. Ill. The Mississippi convention, representing 250,000 Negro Baptists refused to indorse the movement of Dr. Jones, but rather condemned his course. Only 18 followed Dr. Jones and Goes out of the convention and five returned the following day and asked forgiveness. They were told to "Go in peace and sin no more." Dr. Jones was very much disappointed at the turndown which he received in his own home. He had hoped to have carried a large following from Mississippi to Kansas City where he will hold his convention. The convention adopted resolutions pledging support to the National Baptist convention which meets September 6 in Savannah, Ga. Dr. E. C.

Though just beginning the practice of his profession here, he is by no means a new man. Dr. Bracy graduated with high honors from Meharry Dental College in the class of 1913 and has the remarkable distinction of passing the Mississippi State Board and enjoying two years practice in that state, from which place he comes to St. Louis. Having now qualified under the Missouri state laws for practice, he has opened a beautifully furnished and modernly equipped office over the Sarah-Finney Pharmacy, 4100 Finney Ave. Those who love to support the strong and worthy young men of the race, will do well to give Dr. Bracy a trial.

Fifty-three years ago Abraham Lincoln set the Negro free, and Senator Tillman just woke up about a week ago to announce that the abolition of slavery was a blessing to the slaveholder as well as a physical and moral deliverance to the slave. Poor old Senator! All this half century and more his moral sense and intellectual powers have been benumbed. He has been groping and staggering through the country without light, without consciousness of his surroundings; cursing the Negro for being free; cursing the party that freed him; soaking his hands in the blood of the massacre of the Negros at Hamburg, South Carolina; favoring and urging every form of proscription, state and national, against the Negro; justifying lynching, man-burning and other forms of assassination and murder against the Colored man, and after 53 years of such life, at last, to his obdurate heart has come a sentiment and to his bleared eyes has come a light, unknown to his des出生 before, that makes him say that the freedom of the Negro was a blessing to both the slaveholder and slave.

Our great party is now in bad victory on November the 7th will take all of the party whose victories are markable for their frequency and size.

This ambition is not because to the chief end of his existence, but, but that is due him and that is very help. In the economy of life dollars, but those dollars must be gotten to those votes, also, must be gotten to of right measures and right men to results.

We cast a strong primary vote for the party to make himself a factor in the choice, then to office. This was no more than in line with his aspiration to establish a better recognition in appointments and ranks of the party, which his vote helped control. This year our opportunities for recognition are yearly, through the increasing qualification insists on being given higher places and moments of office.

That would SURPRISES—GOOD TICKET—OUR DUTY There were a great many surprises in the defeats at the Republican primaries on Tuesday, but, however, the results are very acceptable and satisfactory, and there is such a good ticket now presented to the suffrages of the Republican voters that the full strength of the party will support it at the election in November. Our great party is now in battle array and, doubtless, the victory on November the 7th will be the most brilliant in the annals of the party whose victories and achievements have been remarkable for their frequency and splendor. The Negro cast a strong primary vote for the reason that he was anxious to make himself a factor in the choice, as well as the election of men to office. This was no more than his duty and it was perfectly in line with his aspiration to establish his claim and contention for better recognition in appointments and places given out at the hands of the party, which his vote helped to elevate to power and control. Year by year our opportunities for recognition have increased, and, year by year, through the increasing qualification of the Negro, he naturally insists on being given higher places and larger shares in the emoluments of office. This ambition is not because the Negro thinks office-holding is the chief end of his existence, but, because it brings with it a respect that is due him and that is very helpful in other lines of life. In the economy of life dollars are more valuable than votes, but those dollars must be gotten together and put in business and those votes, also, must be gotten together and put into the support of right measures and right men to bring beneficial and lasting results. Let us do both these things and do them effectively and much happier conditions will result. Anyway we are on the heels of another great election, local, state and national. It may result in great changes in the state and national administration. The party that we help may be the one installed, and, it behooves us that we should be on guard. If a Republican governor is elected we need keep tally on Jefferson City and jealously guard our rights in the state, and if a Republican president is elected, Washington should be our Mecca and our mission should be the enforcement of the article of the Constitution providing that no one shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. That would stop lynching. The purpose is to give an opportunity to show the progress of the Negro along all lines. The National Baptist Convention will be held at Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 6-12, 1016.

REDEMPTION OF SOULS SPIRITUAL CHURCH REDEMPTION OF SOULS SPIRITUAL CHURCH Since the uniting of the two churches, 2837 Market St, and 2641 Lucas Ave., all meetings will be held at 2641 Lucas Ave. Mrs. Julia Johnson, Oracle, of The Redemption of Souls Spiritualist Church at the above named address, is becoming one of the most popular meeting places in the city. Mrs. Johnson, who is the Oracle, seems to be the right woman, for the place. People who go there are loud in their praise of her work. Hundreds attend the seances and get in touch with the Spirit World. It is remarkable and if you have never been there you ought to go. The place is usually crowded at each meeting and you must go early to get a seat. On account of the wide interest which is being manifested in the work which Mrs. Julia Johnson is doing, and feeling that she owes it to the many people who desire a more intimate knowledge of things spiritual, she has concluded to hold a seance every night in the week for the next two weeks or longer if necessary to give the people a clear idea of her work. Besides the every night meeting, services are held at 11:30 every Sunday morning. At 7:30 p. m. the services begin each night. Don't forget the place, 2641, Lucas Ave. Every night for the next two weeks beginning Sunday.

CARD OF THANKS Former Judge's Strength in Country as Well as City Surprises Opponents - Guardian Victory St. Louis.-Additional returns Thursday on Tuesday's state primary, indicated the almost certain nomination of former Judge Henry Lamm, Republican, and Col. Fred D. Gardner, Democrat, as their party nominees for governor at the November election. Predictions Thursday from Jefferson City, based upon unofficial reports so far received there, are that Lamm has defeated John E. Swanger for the Republican-nomination for governor by from 8,000 to 10,000. Unofficial and incomplete figures announced from Kansas City Thursday give Lamm 67,320. Swinger 43,336. The nomination of Lamm on the Republican ticket came as a surprise to many of the party leaders here who have supported Swanger for the office. Lamm's strength in the country, in counties heretofore claimed by the Swanger forces, was a revelation. The Lamm vote in Kansas City, St. Joseph and Springfield gave the former judge a lead which Swanger will not be able to overcome, according to returns now available. The nomination of Gardner on the Democratic ticket had been forecast for several weeks, although the recent claims of the supporters of John M. Atkinson had led many to believe that the race between Gardner and Atkinson would be closer than available returns indicate. The Atkinson supporters Thursday conceded Gardner's nomination. Sam Lazarus of the Atkinson-for-Governor executive committee, said: "I don't think there is any doubt in the least of Gardner's nomination, and it is the duty of every good Democrat to get behind Gardner and help elect him governor of Missouri in November." The primary contest on governor in both the Republican and the Democratic parties had developed into a "wet and dry" fight to a large extent. With the nomination, however, of Gardner and Lamm, both of whom were opposed by the Anti-saloon League, party leaders look upon the "wet and dry" issue as having been settled by the voters and eliminated from the November election. Atkinson, on the Democratic ticket, had been indorsed by the Anti-saloon League and Swanger on the Republican ticket was looked upon as the "dry" candidate by the Lamm supporters. This accounted for the small Swanger vote in St. Louis Tuesday. All the candidates for governor in both Republican and Democratic parties carried their home counties, with the exception of Swanger, who lost Pettis county to Judge Lamm by a vote of nearly 6 to 1. This is explained by the fact that Swanger made no campaign in his county. On a recent visit to St. Louis Swanger explained that he had not even had a card distributed in Pettis county in his own behalf, but had decided not to contest the county with Lamm. Both candidates live in Sedalia. In the Republican senatorial candidates, Dickey carried Kansas City and Jackson county, while Akins carried St. Louis over Frank, who also is from St. Louis. Complete returns on other candidates for state office on either ticket are not yet available, but indications are that all candidates carried their home counties. In the congressional races indications are that all the present congressmen were renominated by their respective parties. Congressman Bocher, in the Fourth district, is believed to have ebeen again chosen by the Democrats. In St. Louis the surprise of the congressional contests was in the nomination by the Democrats of the Twelfth district, of Michael J. Gill over Samuel Rosenfeld. Rosenfeld's nomination was freely predicted by local Democratic leaders who knew of the opposition of many of the ward leaders to Gill's candidacy. The unofficial returns, however, show Gill's nomination over Rosenfeld by eight votes. While Rosenfeld was expected to get the support of the Twenty-third ward, it went almost 2 to 1 for Gill. Committeeman George Hobbs of the Twenty-third explained Rosenfeld's defeat by pointing to the fact that Gill was a constant campaigner and had the good will of the labor vote. The township committeemen in the counties of the state and the ward committeemen in the cities, who were elected at Tuesday's primary, will meet next Tuesday and organize the various county and city committees. The new St. Louis Republican and Democratic city committees will be organised at that time. "I thought I would. You see, we can't get any servants in the first place, so, of course, we have no trouble keeping them." ST. LOUIS MAN PROVES EASY WINNER IN DEMOGRATIG PRIMARY. LAMM IS REPUBLIGAN WINNER Counties So Far Reporting Make Lib tie Change In Standing of Candidates—Painter Rune Abso St. Louis, Aug. 3.—Primary returns from 66 counties and the City of St. Louis, tabulated early today, gave Frederick D. Gardner, winner of the Democratic race for the nomination for governor, a lead of 37,361 over John M. Atkinson, his nearest opponent. Judge Henry Lamm, running almost as well out in the state as John E. Swanger, seems to have captured the Republican nomination for governor with case. Returns from 66 counties and St. Louis give Lamm 68,243 and Swanger 43,916. Unprecedented gains must be made by Swanger if he is to overcome this lead. Officials of the Lamm-for-governor club had received returns from 71 counties up to midnight. At that hour they issued a forecast that Swanger would not come to St. Louis with more than 4,000 plurality over Lamm. In St. Louis, Lamm has a plurality of 23,000. Both Judge Lamm and J. E. Swanger are confident that they can win out in the race for the Republican nomination for governor. The judge estimated that his lage pluralities in the cities would give him a lead of at least 5,000 votes over his opponent. Swanger, who like Judge Lamm, is a resident of Sédalia, contends that when the vote is finally counted his majority will be in the neighborhood of 4,000. Late last night the Lamm headquarters issued the following statement: "We are making no claims. We believe Lamm will carry the state by between 5,000 and 8,000 votes, but in any case, win or lose, we are still smiling." Democratic candidates for governor received the following votes in St. Louis and the 86 counties: Gardner, 69,158; Atkinson, 31,797 Roach, 19,895; Barker, 12,889; Lindsey, 18,581; Palmer, 5,270; Houchin, 13,175. Whether Lindsey will succeed in custing Roach from third place was a subject of speculation among politicians all day. The strength displayed by the preacher candidate was one of the big surprises of the race. Another joker that disrupted pat hands was the showing made by Lamm in the country. All throughout the campaign it had been doped out that he would run a bad second out in the state and that his only salvation would be an overwhelming large vote in St. Louis. The complete crumbling of the Kiel-Schmoll machine in St. Louis gave Swanger a big handicap and carried out one part of the dopesters' predictions. But the big upstate pluralities that had been predicted for Swanger so far have failed to materialize, and he seemingly is out in the cold. The nominees are: For United States Senator—James A. Reed, Dem.; Walter S. Dickey, R. Governor—Fred D. Gardner, Dem; Henry Lamm, R. For Lieutenant Governor—Wallace Crossley, Dem.; Roy Britton, R. For Attorney General—Frank Mo Allister, Dem.; James H. Mason, R. For Auditor—John P. Gordon, Dem. George Hackmann, R. For Secretary of State—J. Kelly Pool, Dem.; William C. Askin, R. For Treasurer—George Middlecain, Dem.; Alfred Vitt, R. For Supreme Court (No. 1)—A. M. Woodson, Dem.; Robert S. Robertson, Rep. For Supreme Court (No. 2.)—Fred Williams, Dem.; Edward Higbee, R. Virtually all the members of the Missouri delegation in Congress have been renominated according to dispatches received from different parts of the state. Representative Lloyd of the First District was not a candidate for renomination. Six Congressmen had no opposition. They are Speaker Clark and Representatives Borland, Dickinson, Russel, Decker and Rubey. Word has been received here today of the renomination of Representatives Alexander, Shackelford, Meeker, Igoe and Dyer. Representative Alexander of the Third District received word that he is leading in every county of his district except one, where the vote is close. Alexander, however, is confident that he has been renominated. Representative Booher o the Fourth District has had a hard fight and the result is still in doubt. Representative Hensley of the Thirteenth District apparently is winning, according to reports received. Representative Rucker said he had been information that Hensley was running in front of his opponent. No information has been received as to the contests in the Second District or the Seventh District, represented respectively by Representatives Rucker and Hanzuln.

ROBINSON MEMPHIS, TENN LODGES AGENTS WANTED ODD FELLOWS' HALL "The rose is red, "The violets are blue, I need your work And others do too." By REV. JAMES M. GRAY, D.D. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—Lord I will follow thee, but—"— Luke 9:51. This is what a good many people are saying in their hearts if not with their lips. They know the Gospel plan of salvation. They know they must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved, and they know that when they do believe on him with their hearts they will follow him in their life and conduct. A. B. The latter is something they do not wish to do because it means a turning away from things in which they now find profit or pleasure. They do not reckon on the fact that when they truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ they will receive a clean heart and have renewed within them a right spirit. When a man is thus regenerated he no longer wishes to do the things he used to do and finds it easy to follow Christ. In their struggle to put off the day of decision they frame various excuses, like the man of the text who, when our Lord said unto him: "Follow me," replied: "Lord I will follow thee, but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at my home." Ordinarily there could be no objection to a man's doing that, but on this occasion the command of Christ was peremptory, and the man's action would determine at once whether he preferred his family to Christ. There comes a time in every man's life when he must decide this question, and determine in the presence of his own soul and in the presence of God whether God comes first or not. Hypocrites In the Church. 1. Some say there are so many hypocrites in the church, forgetting that there are many hypocrites in the business or profession by which they earn their livelihood, and yet they do not renounce that business or profession. A good way to meet this objection is to ask whether they think hypocrites will go to heaven? As they will certainly answer, no, then it might be asked whether they themselves can go to heaven without Christ. As they must reply to this question, as well as to the other, in the negative, they will be brought to see that they must dwell with hypocrites throughout eternity unless they become saved. The inquiry brings to mind the case of a certain man who was always giving this reason for not accepting Christ. And yet his faithful wife heard him cry in the night more than once: "God, be merciful to me, a sinner." It is a sad thing for a soul under conviction of sin, to cast away the hope of salvation for so filmsy a reason as the presence of hypocrites in the visible church. Giving Up or Taking On, Which? 2. Others hesitate to accept Christ because they think they will have so much to give up. But they are ignorant of the fact that the Christian life is from every point of view a gain rather than a loss. You give up sin, but you take holiness. You give up sorrow, but you take joy. You give up death, but you take life. You give up self, but you take God. D. L. Moody used to tell of a soap manufacturer who was under conviction of sin, but hesitated to accept Christ. He pressed him for a reason, and at last he said it was his business that kept him back. "That soap," said he, "will do everything I claim for it; but the fact is it will destroy the clothes. Now if I accept Christ, I must give it up." Here was a plain issue which many another man has had to face, but what folly it is to hesitate a moment which way to decide! Moreover, many a man has given up his business for Christ and found afterward that Christ had a great deal better business to give him than he had ever dreamed of; for, as the Bible says, "Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." 3. "I am afraid I won't hold out," is another very common excuse. But the mistake here lies in the fact that the man is thinking of his own strength instead of the strength of the Savior. There is a Latin motto on the facade of a Y. M. C. A. building in New England that sets this truth before us very tersely and beautifully. The words are "Teneco et tector," which means, "I hold and am held." It suggests the picture of a strong man with a child in his arm ascending a dangerous cliff. The child is clinging to the man, but it is because the man is holding the child that the latter makes the ascent with safety. In like manner the faith of the believer causes him to cling to Jesus Christ, but it is Jesus Christ that keeps and saves him to the end. Let us not be afraid to accept him as our Savior and follow him as our Lord.

It is only to the meaning of the two words "Lord Jesus," that attention is now asked. They are not of very frequent occurrence in the New Testament, but sufficiently so to indicate that their meaning is very significant. They peculiarly interest Christians, but they have as well a very deep significance for those who are not Christians; for to such persons the son of God will appear is now asked. They are not of very frequent occurrence in the New Testament, but sufficiently so to indicate that their meaning is very significant. They peculiarly interest Christians, but they have as well a very deep significance for those who are not Christians; for to such persons the son of God will appear as Lord, and the acceptance of such will depend on their treatment of him as Jesus. The Son of God is Savior. The attitude of the son of God up to the present time that is directly inviting attention is that of savior, which is the meaning of the word Jesus. The term savior at once implies that there is something from which a man is saved, and we may note briefly that by the son of God man is saved, first, from the penalty of sin in this life as in the life to come. Whether one is saved as to the future penalty or not, he is not saved from the consequences of sin in this life, the law of Galatians 6:7 obtaining in the case of the regenerate man as in the case of the regenerate, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." There is a beyond; there is eternal death to the one that is not saved from it; and the son of God saves from that. Hell is not a myth; nor eternal exclusion from the presence of God; they are realities and the son of God came to save men from these on the simple condition of faith. Jesus says also from the power of Satan. This salvation applies very largely to this life, for after a man believes and is justified Satan's grip on him loosens—he is no longer his Lord. The man is legally free, and after the struggles of this life are over, he will be perfectly free. The son of God also saves from the power of sin. In the unregenerate state a man is the slave of sin, but when he is saved by the grace of God that slavery is broken—is practically gone. A new life enters and persists, and never gives up until it is victorious, and so the subject of this struggle enters the other world free from not only the penalty, but from the power of Satan and sin—his salvation is perfect. Son of God as Lord. But possibly the work of the son of God as savior will so absorb attention that man forgets that the son of God is Lord as well. When on earth Jesus said: "Ye call me Lord and master and so I am." The moment a man is saved spiritually, that moment has he come under the control of another Lord, the son of God. This lordship must be supreme, reaching to the whole man. The body is to be preserved as under the lordship of Jesus Christ. As well must the intellect also acknowledge this lordship; a spiritual man must yield his thoughts to those of God. Equally so must his affections or desires be in subjection. He cannot love what his Lord does not love; nor hate what his Lord does not hate. Here is the place where Christians easily fall, many of them having loves that belong to the world, and in just so far they deny their savior's lordship. Equally so must the will be in subjection; the Christian has no right to his own will. The supreme moment of the earthly career of our Lord was when he said: "Not my will, but thine, be done." Time, Influence and Wealth. While all a man's personality is embraced in the things just noted, it is well to note that a man's time is not his own, for it is only in the lapse of time that his personality can operate. If the Lord says "work," the Christian must work; if he says "rest," the Christian must rest; and possibly a man can sin as really in disobeying the latter command as the former. Naturally, too, a man's influence must acknowledge the lordship of the son of God; "No man liveth unto himself, and no man dieth unto himself." A man's proper consideration of his influence will often enable him to judge as to right action in connection with the body, mind, affections or will. It is not always a question when a certain action is before one for consideration whether this will injure or benefit the individual, but what will be its influence on others. Quite logically, also, this lordship extends to material possessions. There is no knowledge for which so great a price is paid as a knowledge of the world; and no one ever became an adept in it except at the expense of a hardened and a wounded heart—Countess of Blessington. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR AUG. GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD. (Temperance Lesson.) True ministry is in the exercise of spiritual gifts (Eph. 4:7-15). Every believer is a member of the body of Christ, and therefore has a definite ministry. Though the gifts are diverse, all are equally honorable because they are bestowed, administered and energized by the Holy Spirit. Love alone gives value to the ministry of any gift. 1. Fill the Gift With Love (vv. 1-3). Just as the body is dead unless a living soul abides in and inspires it, so is the gift unless filled with the spirit of love. This is the "more excellent way" to which Paul makes reference at the conclusion of Chapter 12. In praising love Paul does not fall into the error of criticizing others, not even his followers, and suggests that even he may be wanting in this trait. The Corinthians were eager to attain excellence and to be prominent in wisdom and philosophy; to understand the world in which they lived; to be scholars and teachers and improve and correct society. Paul therefore shows how vain are such things unless filled with the motive of love. (1) The gift of tongues. The salaints in the church at Corinth seem to have been particularly gifted in this direction, and to have been proud of it. (Ch. 14: 2:23) and eager to outstrip the others. Paul tells them that such boasting amounts to little. The grace of love is a far more excellent way. (2) The gift of prophecy. The New Testament prophet was a forth-teller, not a teller of the future. To be a forth-teller was a thing to be coveted and admired, but not unless accompanied by love. (3) Miracle working. A man can have this in the most powerful form conceivable, and yet if he has not love, he is nothing. ii. Love is Known by its Manifestations (vv. 4-7). Having shown the absolute necessity of love Paul shows how we may recognize it. The behavior of love can be seen and known. Paul set for us 15 manifestations. (1) Love suffereth long. Love is no passing emotion, but a fixed thought. (2) It is kind. Kindness in action, love at work. (3) Love envieth not. It does not grow out of selfsuffness, for selfsuffness is the very opposite of love. (4) Love vaunteth not itself, does not climb to the housetops to proclaim its glory. (5) Is not puffed up. There is no inflation, like a soap bubble, to dazzle the eye. (6) Does not behave itself unseemly, that is without delicacy of feeling. Unseemly conduct grows from pride and selfsuffness, whereas love is the foundation of true courtesy. (7) Seeketh not her own. Is not looking out for self first of all. (8) Is not easily provoked; good tempered, not irritable. To lose one's temper is a dangerous evil. The evil is not so much in the temper but in our failure to control it. (9) Thinketh no evil. Puts the best construction upon the acts of others, making all possible allowances. (10) Rejolceth not in inquity. (11) Rejolceth in the truth, that is, is in sympathy with all that is true. (12) Beareth all things; endureth hardships and trials for the working out of the kingdom. (13) Belleveth all things; not credulous but putting the best construction upon the words of others, and having faith in the final outcome of every good cause. (14) Hopeth all things; is not discouraged in the dark and shadowy days. (15) Endureth all things; it goes on believing and hoping to the end; no obstacle can stop it. Surely such a catalogue of the marks of love is enough to make us all pause and meditate. III. The Permanence of Life (vv. 8-13). The word "falleth" here denotes falling in the sense of cessation, and love is contrasted with three typical but passing forms of Christian' expression. (1) "Prophecies;" not the things prophesied but the gift or act of prophesying (v. 3) which at best can only partially express God's word. Prophecy will pass away in the fuller vision and wider knowledge of God "Who is love." (2) "Tongues." The time will come when they will not be needed as a sign nor to enable us to express our varied emotions. The divinely inspired prophecies tell but a part of what is yet to be. (3) "Knowledge." It shall be done away in the fuller knowledge of the eternal world as the light of the stars vanish before the rising sun. When that which is perfect is come these lights will be seen to be only like the separate stones of a quarry which can only be fully understood when the whole building stands before us in its completion. Paul gives an illustration of this truth from the familiar case of the growing child (vv. 11, 12). In conclusion (v. 13) faith, hope, love, abidence, three graces, imperishable and immortal. "Hope is a fountain; faith draws the water and drinks; love distributes the water to others." Dr. J. H. Jowett. But the greatest of these is love. (a) Love is greater in its nature: It brings us closer to God, making us partakers of his nature. It is the one thing without which faith and hope are of little avail. (b) It is powerful as an influence for good and the strongest motive for the upbuilding of character. Church Direct Church Directory St. James A. M. E.

THEATRES AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON The Mills-Frisby Company in "A Night at a Cabaret," have a snappy, gingerly musical comedy at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. There are only five members in the cast, but they possess enough talent and variety to round out the time with an entertaining program of specialties. Mr. Mills is a comedian of the first class and makes a hit with his humorous talk and actions. Miss Frisby is a sweet singer and excellent dancer. There are plenty of tuneful melodies and sprightly dances and the entire performance goes over nicely and scores several encores. STRING BEANS AND BENBOW'S BIG VAUDEVILLE REVIEW AT R. W. THEATRE NEXT WEEK String Beans and Benbow's Big Vaudeville Review, a company of 15 people, will be at the Booker Washington Theatre next week. As the name implies, the program is made up BASEBAL REISSENS OF BELLEVILLE ON SATURDAY; LELAND GIANTS ON SUNDAY; FOSTER'S AMERICAN GIANTS MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY ARE SCHEDULED TO MEET MILLS TEAM AT FEDERAL PARK. TWILIGHT SLEEP AT THE COMET TUESDAY The St. Louis Giants have a strenuous schedule ahead of them for the coming week. On Saturday the Reissens of Belleville will cross bats with the Federal Park boys. Sunday, Leland's Chicago Giants will be the visitors and Rube Foster's American Giants will open a four game series on Monday. All games will start at 3:15. The prices will remain the same: bleachers 25c, grand stand 35c, boxes 15c extra. Women will be admitted free on Monday and Thursday. Just as we predicted, our boys got going good in the Lincoln Stars' series and won 4 out of the 5 games. They TWILIGHT S THE COME "Twilight Sleep," the sensational moving picture demonstration of birth control, will be shown at the Comet Odeon next Tuesday, Aug. 8. In order to comply with the censorship, children under 16 years will not be admitted to the theatre. Only ladies will be admitted from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. and men and women from 3 p. m. to 11 p. m. A lady will lecture all day on the pictures. WHAT THE PICTURES SHOW A scene of Friedburg, Germany. The birthplace of Twilight Sleep. The expectant mother is put to sleep. The heart of the infant examined before each injection of Scopolamin. Ampule containing Scopolamin which produces Twilight Sleep. The darkened room, cotton placed in patient's ears, filling the hypodermic syringe with scopolamin, injection of scopolamin in thigh of patient, second stage of Twilight of all the latest popular songs, jokes and dances on the vaudeville stage, including some novelties new to St. Louis theatre goers, such as III Henry Hunt, the contortionistic fire eater who among other things, severs a red hot iron with his teeth. Miss Beatrice (Billy) West, a St. Louis girl, is with the company. The Big Review is a long cherished ambition of Butler May (String Beans) and the company is creating a sensation wherever it appears. The best of order will be maintained on the grand excursion to Peoria, Ill. Two dollars and twenty-five cents round trip. Battling Ball, of St. Louis, and Leo Patterson, of Joplin, fought six rounds to a draw, at St. Charles, Mo. July 29, before a large crowd. Many ladies were present. Both boys were lightweight. A pickpocket has been fined $25 and costs for stealing $46. Unless they can increase their-revenues, the pickpockets will hardly be able to meet the cost of operation. It is predicted that aerial yachts will soon be carrying passengers across the Atlantic. The man who dreads mal de mer is willing to await the advent of the aerial yacht. The predominant human trait invariably impels the man with the cash to offer the man without what he thinks necessity will force him to accept rather than what the property is worth. Dr. L. O. Howard, the government entomologist, says there is no reason why people should not eat bugs, but we have tasted some chestnuts and blackberries that would have convinced him of his error. If there were no other reason for improving the grade of milch cattle in the vicinity of American cities, the one that links the sustenance of infants with the quality and supply of cows' milk would be sufficient. Modernism seems to be a form of civilization in which married women think a husband is unreasonable if he doesn't get home early enough in the evening to take his wife out to the swell restaurant for supper. Three French war dogs were recently decorated with gold collars in reward for distinguished services, one of them having saved a whole battalion by giving warning of the unsuspected approach of a strong German column. In this terrible conflict man's best friend is proving his right to the title. BALL Clubs Coming ON SATURDAY; LELAND FOSTER'S AMERICAN GIANTS NESDAY AND THURSDAY ARE MILLS TEAM AT FEDERAL are now on edge and can be expected to even up matters with "Rube Foster's world champions in the series which, starts Monday. The Lelands are liable to spring a surprise, Sunday, but they will not catch Wallace and Company napping Truth, though in time get by Sometimes afford gour w Golden wee better than d Crude rubb but watch it t No man sho enough to for once. Come to the poor quality of eternal. Even a picnic fun overbalance a success. Another real is their optimistic time to them. Under its shoously practiced maneuver of On Sunday, Aug. 13, Manager Mills will offer the fans an extra attraction in the shape of a dress parade and inspection of the 1st Regt. Uniform Rank, K. of P. in command of Col. B. J. Biley, Brig. Gen. Wm. H. Butler and the Brigado staff of Missouri will be present. Sleep, patient watched closely. Blue glasses enhance Twilight Sleep effect materially, tranquility shown on face of patient, bandage over eyes substituted for blue glasses. Sound of street organ reaches patient without ill effect, showing the difference in the natural birth mother, fourth stage of Twilight Sleep. The memory tests: Remembering flowers denotes another injection is necessary. Patient has forgotten flowers. No more injections are necessary. The birth, it's a boy, mother unconscious of birth is later shown her baby. Two hours later patient is able to telephone her husband twenty-four hours later the mother is able to walk, five days later she is able to walk up stairs, ten days later natural mother makes first feeble effort to walk. And many others equally interesting and instructive. Planning a vacation is great sport; paying for it is painful. By this time the dove of peace is shivering atop the North pole. Some men assume a humble demeanor in an egotistic manner. We all take a lot of punishment from experience and then go back for more. These early morning hours are delightful, but one loses sleep trying to enjoy them. The man who can cut bait is quite as essential as the one who tells the fish stories. Any person who really loves children can pick up a sticky baby without a shudder. The man who lost three toes trying to start his motorcycle certainly "got his foot in it." Modern naval battles are like the old-fashioned kind in having very little trench fighting. If you cast your bread upon the waters these days, there is danger the submarines will get it. A woman astrologer predicts we shall have trouble next year. Well, don't we have it every year? An intoxicated man imagines he has found the secret of walking right, and that everybody else is wrong. The more-daylight movement gets no support from the fox-trotters. What they want is more midnight. The foolish impression that gout is caused by high living never compensates for the pain its victim suffers. Culture can do much, but it can never make a corned beef and cabbage physique thrive on tea and wafers. If men were to be judged by the public according to what their wives knew of them, what a shrinkage there would be. Holland proclaims that it can bar invasion by dynamiting its floodgates, but wouldn't the cure be worse than the disease? A Pennsylvania man found a live alligator in a big fish's stomach. The season's crop of fish stories is getting on swimmingly. A Pennsylvania farmer lost all five senses as the result of being kicked by a horse. Evidently the horse didn't believe in kicking just a little. Truth, though crushed to earth, shall in time get by the censor. Sometimes a fellow wishes he could afford gour without having it. Golden wedding celebrations look better than divorce statistics. Crude rubber has taken a big drop, but watch it bounce up again. No man should let himself get old enough to forget that he was a boy once. Come to think of it, 'twould be a poor quality of hope that didn't spring eternal. Even a picnic is not all joy. If the fun overbalances the discomforts it's a success. Another reason for loving the birds is their optimism. Every day is jubilee time to them. Under its shelter the canoe is assiduously practicing its favorite summer maneuver of upsetting. Perhaps you have noticed that always it is a banker who announces that money is plentiful. "Senatorial courtesy" is what keeps one statesman from hitting another statesman below the belt. Holding a man that is dead set upon fighting is almost as unsatisfactory as holding an excited tomcat. As soon as man has incubated a strange idea he'll walk three blocks to find somebody to try it on. Though there is a dearth of good jockeys there should result no disastrous consequences to the human race. Nations are like men. They start out to lick somebody and wind up with a struggle to keep from getting licked. It is the easiest thing in the world for a girl to find a bridegroom, but if she is looking for a real husband, that is different. What has become of the old-fashioned girl whose only experience of candied sweets was derived from the annual 'lasses candy pulling? Evidently it was in accordance with some quaint oriental custom that Hon. Yuan Shi Kai died "surrounded by his wives and older children." But maybe the encyclopedias of the future can tell whether Hon. Yuan Shi Kai was a president or an emperor at the moment of his death. "When Does a Woman Buy?" is the subject of an advertising treatise. You can see, don't you, that the advertising experts know who gets the pay envelopes. A Chicago theorist says that dancing is hard on the brain. This is the first intimation that the modern dances made any exhausting demand on the intellect. For a study of psychology take the case of the legislator who votes enthusiastically for a bill and then votes enthusiastically to sustain the veto of the measure. Women working in munition factories in England are said to find that their complexions are improved. Maybe they aren't putting all the powder in the shells. Paying for a dead horse is proverbially hard, but a Missouri man who had 15 mules requisitioned during the Civil war has just received payment for them from the United States. It will require some years for men to become broadminded enough not to regard actions they disapprove as corrupt and men with whom they disagree as scoundrels and thieves. The old-time apprentice who ultimately became proprietor never was agile enough to quit his job and get 165 yards away from the shop before the clock had stopped striking six. The latest thing in ladies' hair dressing has been exemplified in New York. It is the "trench curl," so-called because it resembles a series of trenches. Must be absolutely "killing!". Carrying a cane disposes of one of the superfluous hands that a man has when walking, but science has not yet provided a use for the other, unless the man is a suburbanite with parcels to carry. If you want to know how unnecessary it is to become excited when discussing the war, make a record of your expressed opinions and see how foolish they are when you read them a week afterward. Doctor Evans, tells a newspaper patient that it is inadvisable to swallow chewing gum. While he was giving this advice he ought to have also warned people against swallowing glass, horseshoe nails and cockle burs. The death of Yuan Shi Kal coon followed that of the short-lived Chinese empire of which he aspired to be the head. One was apparently prophetic of the other, and also of the fact that the world has had enough of empires and absolute rulers, without yearning for the creation of more. PROF. W. L.
