MO. REPUBLICANS LAUNCH SPIRITED STATE CAMPAIGN Auxiliary Committee Headed by Charles G. Williams of Boonville, and Fred W. Dabney of Kansas City, Prosecuting a Vigorous Campaign For the G. O. P.—Expect to Carry State in November. The Reppublican campaign in Missouri, which has been begun under such splendid auspices by Judge Lamm, our nominee for governor, and Walter S. Dickey, nominee for the United States Senate, to swing the state back into the Republican column, was given a new and powerful impetus during the past week, by the effective work of the Auxiliary State Committee, which is composed of promiht Negro Republican leader from all parts of Missouri, under the leadership of Prof. Chas. G. Williams, of Boonville. Else the Sea "The Republican party is the ship, all else is the sea." These words, uttered more than a generation ago by Frederick Douglas, in his great keynote speech in the campaign of 1883, are invested with a deeper significance today than when they were first uttered. In the light of recent political events, the words of the "sage of Monticello" seem prophetic. Four years ago, for the third time, the country was seduced into confiding the government to The Auxiliary Committee, which is composed of Dr. O. C. Queen, of Hanibal; F. W. Dabney, Kansas City; Burney Clark, Springfield; William Johnson and Spotwood Rice, R. D. Fleming and A. W. Lloyd, of St. Louis; Charles Baker, Farmington; Dr. J. P. Williams, Joplin; W. N. Rowland, Chillicothe; M. O. Ricketts, St. Joseph; Chas, P. Covington, Louisiana, and Dr. W. H. Laurie, of Cape Girardeau and Williams, chairman, after a conference at which the political situation in the state was thoroughly canvassed, organized a plan of campaign which provides for a series of mass meetings to be held in every county and city of the state where Negro reside in considerable numbers and arranged for these meetings to be addressed by Negro Republican orators, who are being assigned and sent out by the speakers' bureau, from the headquarters of the Auxiliary Committee, which is located in the International Life Building, at Eighth and Chesfnut Streets, in St. Louis. The campaign work among the Negro voters of the state is already in full swing in many sections of the state and additional eyeballs are being assigned almost daily, and reports from county chairmen tell of the effective work that is being done for the cause of Republicanism by awakening enthusiasm and solidifying the party ranks for a landslide for the Republican nominees in November. The present campaign furnishes the first opportunity the Negroes have had to voice their public disapproval and condemnation of President's policy of segregation and elimination of the members of their race in the government departments at Washington and the Negro orators who are campaigning in Missouri are not neglecting the opportunity to expose the duplicity of the President, who, despite his public promises prior to his election four years ago to give the Negro fair play, has disregarded every rule of fairness toward the race by removing from positions of honor and trust Negroes who have served the government with efficiency through several administrations, including both terms of President Cleveland, and appointing white men to fill their places. It is being shown thus the President, not satisfied with introducing his obnoxious segregation practices in the various government departments at Washington and replacing nearly every prominent Negro holding a position of trust under the government by a white man, has carried his southern prejudices to the extreme limit of appointing a white man to represent the nation in the Negro Republic of Hayti, and appointed white postmasters in the exclusive Negro communities of Mound Bayou, Miss., and Boley, Okla. On purely state issues, Judge Henry Lamm is making it very hard sliding for Col. Frederick D. Gardner, the Democratic candidate for governor, who finds it extremely embarrassing to extol Democratic rule in Missouri with the record of the present Democratic administration, with all of its scandals and evidences of misrule, like Banquo's ghost, refusing to "down." Walter S. Dickey, the Republican candidate for United States Senator, is making a winning campaign against Senator Jim Reed, for whom he is making things uncomfortable by exposing his record in Congress, where he posed as the enemy of the Negro in his advocacy of the amendment to the Immigration Bill, in which he proposed to exclude immigrants from Africa from admission to the United States. Republican workers throughout the state are greatly encouraged by the enthusiasm and harmony that has characterized the campaign thus far among Republicans and expect an unbroken front in the party ranks when election day dawns, which will mean success at the poles for the Republican candidates and the redemption of Missouri from Democratic misrule by putting her permanently in the Republican column of states of the Union. The St. Louis Argus "The Republican party is the ship, all else is the sea." These words, uttered more than a generation ago by Frederick Douglass, in his great keynote speech in the campaign of 1888, are invested with a deeper significance today than when they were first uttered. In the light of recent political events, the words of the "sage of Monticello" seem prophetic. Four years ago, for the third time, the country was seduced into confiding the government to the care of the Democratic party, with the inevitable result that the wheels of progress have been stopped and failure and humiliation have followed. During the Cleveland administration, the efforts of the Democrats to put into effect their fallacious notions of tariff reform brought on an industrial revolution that was followed by a financial panic, that clearly demonstrated the false theory of the tariff for revenue only to be inadequate to meet the demands and needs of this country. President Wilson, who slipped into the presidency four years ago, by a minority vote, while the Republicans were quarreling with each other, has proved the greatest failure of all, by his insincere pretensions and vacillating methods, both at home and abroad. Not only has the Democratic tariff reform measure failed to reduce the cost (Continued on page 8.) NEGROES TO HAVE THEIR OWN TICKET LINCOLN REPUBLICAN LEAGUE RALLY TO SUPPORT OF CANDIDATES Memphis, Tenn.—Chairman Wm. Gray, of the Shelby County election commission, today received a legislative ticket from the Negro population of Memphis. He says the Negroes will have a complete ticket in the field. The Colored Republican voters of Shelby County and the Tenth Congressional district are rallying around their ticket as never before in the history of the race, and they are simply "shelling the woods" and "beating the bushes" for votes in November for the entire Republican ticket, from president on down the line. Lincoln Republican League Bring Out the Voters On Friday night, September 15, the voters from over the county districts and throughout the 29 wards of the city stormed the "fort" at Church's Auditorium as never before in the history of Memphis. Old Men and Young Men Out 2,500 Strong Negroes are marching, and mean to keep moving, to the "tune of the times," and the "bugle call" of patriotism and manhood rights. The meeting was called to order by President R. R. Church and was opened with prayer by Rev. Binford. Secretary J. T. Settle was kept busy enrolling names and addresses. They were there from every corner of the county and apparently every hamlet was represented. Bonita Cafe The Bonita Cafe, at Fairfax and Surah, continues to be the fashionable meeting place for west end residents. Mr. Goodrich has surrounded himself with capable assistants.

ST.LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1916. Washington, D. C.—Illiterates are increasing in numbers in New England and in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and in the Far West. Illiterates are decreasing in numbers in the Southern States. The south is meeting its problem of the illiterate Negro: the North and the West are not meeting their problem of the illiterate white man. White immigration explains the increase in the number of illiterates. Every other class of illiterates has decreased—Negroes, Chinamen, Japanese, poor whites, moonshiners, native-born whites of mixed native and foreign parentage. Only the foreign-born illiterates have increased. Two Young Men Enter Business Two Young Men Enter Business J. T. W. Bonner and J. Roger Inge Buy A Drug Store J. T. W.

Dr. Bonner is well known as a drug store man and was formerly employed by Mr. Harris for several years past.

This will be the first time that the convention has met in St. Louis and All Saints will have a conspicuous and important part. In the present diocese of the Episcopal Church, in St. Louis, there is no discrimination, All Saints sharing privileges equal with white parishes and it will be her duty to entertain alike the many distinguished delegates. In the great pageant which will be held at the Coliseum, October 18 and 19, which is to show the history of the church from its beginning in Jerusalem to the present, members of All Saints are included in the cast. One tableau will show the first preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ to Negroes in this country. The performances are opened to the general public and the largest gathering of clerics and churchmen ever assembled is expected. There will be 125 bishops and more than 400 clergymen of the church in the audience. To avoid waits the pageants will be produced on three stages, lasting more than three hours. A reception will be given at All Saints Church by the district visitors in honor of Colored clergy during the convention.

SAVE ONION CROP Amherst, Mass.—A force of 300 Negro students from the Hampton Institute, Va., and 500 other Negroes from the south, farmed and harvested the onion crop in a portion of Connecticut this year, when the regular farm hands left the fields for higher wages in the munition factories of the state, according to a statement of J. W. Alsop, of Avon, Conn., before the Onion Growers of Hamphire and Franklin Counties, yesterday. Mr. Alsop said: "When our laborers went to the factories we raised $8,000 and sent to employment agents in the cities. The men provided were worse than useless. Then we sent to the south and got 300 students from Hampton Institute and other schools and 500 other Negroes. "These students went to church, sang well and by their gentlemanly conduct won the good will of the community and the praise of their employers."

GLORIOUS DEEDS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY The Republican party has a cereer, to every achievement of when it can point with pride. In its earliest days having Lincoln, Sumner, Giddings and a thousand and more eminent men leading in its ranks, it was successful in the advocacy of non-extension of slavery, and thus saved the virgin lands of our Northwestern and Western territories from the blighting curse of human bondage. It was the homestead laws, passed by Republican congress, which opened countless acres of government land to settlement and made mammoth, thriving, populous states out of the wilderness of the West. Its protective tariff measures developed the manufacturing industries at home and protected them against the ruinous competition of foreign products. The liberal appropriation of public land to aid in the construction of railroads, as passed by the Republican party, wonderfully increased our railroads and improved their facilities until now the nation is bound, East and West, North and South, in the iron bands of commerce. So, the Republican party made the United States a world power, and inspired by native energy, we have become the wealthiest and biggest nation on the globe. To this industrial development, which Republican measures have done so much to produce, have been added the moral ideals, which were always so dominant in the actions and words of Abraham Lincoln's human brotherhood, equality before the law for all men, and freedom, citizenship and suffrage to all without regard to race or color. The Republican party abolished slavery. With slavery went concubinage, illiteracy, unrequited toil and a thousand other evils, concomitants of slavery, which made that institution "the sum of all villainies." Here indeed is a history that is as resplendent as the sun. The party will live along with the memories of Lincoln, Sumner, Douglass and others whose careers form the bright spots upon the pages of our history. The party of emancipation, and free schools cannot die! We will battle again and again for success of that party for it has the seed of the martyrs in it. The Colored business and professional men should have established a general headquarters where visitors to St. Louis, especially Colored men and women of prominence, could be welcomed. It would add to our good name besides help develop business. Quite a number of men prominent in professional and business life visited St. Louis during the Veiled Prophet's days, but were not received as they should have been. Colored Gardner is said to be doing a lot of pussy-footing for Negro votes, but he is finding this to be an off year for Negro Democrats. Every right the Negro has was given to him by the Republican party against the strong opposition of the Demeratic party. Bishop Alexander Walters, who supported Woodrow Wilson for President four years ago, said in an interview, while visiting in St. Louis, a few months ago: "A solid Negro vote for the Republican nominee for President this time, is the only salvation for the Negro race in this country." The Negroes who were seduced into supporting Wilson for President in 1912 are amazed at their own stupidity, and all but those who are Democrats for revenue only, have long since repented and returned to the Republican fold and are working hard to undo the harm they did four years ago. High food prices is one of the dismal influences of a National Democratic administration. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH The Roger Williams Jubilee Singers' recital was an excellent one. The pleasing audience donated to the school after paying 25 cents' admission fee. Among the many who donated were: Prof. and Mrs. Malone, of Poro College, who made very pleasant remarks.

B Director of ee ame {Seurrigpt 1816, enters Neenonver Union) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 8 PAUL BEFORE FELIX. - | ‘This is a court scene, and it might de well with certain classes fo intro- ‘duce the lesson by describing such a ‘gathering. The lesson ‘occurred ‘days after the last lesson, and twelve ‘Gays after Paul reached Jerusalem, ‘Dearing the collection for the poor, ‘The place, Caesarea, was the Roman ‘capital of Judea. 5 -1. ‘The Prisoners Examination (vv. 19). In addition to the Roman gov- ernor, Felix, attired in his gorgeous official regalia, on a platform nearby, were the high priest of the Jews, io his highly colored and Jeweled robes, the lawyer, Tertullus, in his Roman toga, and the elders of the Sanhedrin’ who had come down from Jerusalem to be witnesses against Paul. Of Tertullus it was sald that, by his persuasive tongue, he ‘could make white seem Diack, and could therefore more easily make it appear that Paul was “a dan- 50 Soe Rome Pome ad not ae ly a turbulent and renegade Jew.” ‘The fudge, Fellx, was an exceptionally bad governor, who two years Inter was re- called by Nero to Rome, ° The inifer- ence of verse two is that Paul was an Inciter of rebellion and robberies, but the exact charges were three-fold: (See yy. 5-6) (a) that-Paul was a mover of Insurrection; (b) that he was @ ringleader of a sect of Nazarenes who were causing trouble in the prov- ince: and (c) that he had profaned the Jewish temple at Jerusalem. The charge of insurrection would be espe- clally obnoxious to Felix.who had just deen praised for keeping peace in his dominion, That of being a leader of ‘heresy was not serious, for the Romans ‘had no desire to interfere between one Jewish sect and another, but it led to the last one, viz.,-profaning the tem- Die. ‘The Romans had légalized. the Jewish ritual, and for Paul to profane the holy place would be,a’serlous out: rage. The weakness of Tertullus’ ense was that he produced no evidence to support his charges. “The accusers Were there, but they had no witnesses, 11. The Prisoner’s Defense (vv. 10-21). Paul cheerfully made his defense, for he knew the Jews and their customs, and that Felfx had married a Jewess, (v, 24). We might consider this de- fense first negatively and then positive- ly. On the negative side, Paul answers each charge seriatim. In the first place there had not been time for him to cause an insurrection (v. 11). Going ‘back over these days; (1) his arrival 4m Jerusalem (21:15); (2) ‘his appear- ance before James (21:18); (8, 4,5 and 8), thé days of his vow (Ch. 21:26, 27); (7) his arrest; (8) his appearance be- fore the Sanhedrin; (9) the conspiracy and his deliverance; (10, 11, 12 and 13) fn. Caesarea (See Ch.°24:1). Paul's statement showed that the whole story of his experience was fresh in the Memories of both friends and foea. It ‘was the Jews who dig the stirring up. Paul answers the charge by, ‘acknowledging (vv. Ubi6) that he be- longed to the ‘way of salva- tom bat decled thet Ms was heresy Paul was a true Jew and a good Pharisee, for (1) he worshiped the same God (v. 14); (2) he believed in the Jewish law and prophets. rye them he knew he could” prove th: with the Pharisees (v. 15) in hope to- ward God, a recrrectita. froma tae @ead and immortal life. Paul's life was “vold of offense” toward God. in heart and worship, and toward men as shown in good deeds. “It was for this ‘that he exercised himself. Literally, he worked Upon the raw material, disciplining and tratning it. Paul answers the third charge by simple denial that it had actually taken piace, and calls for wit- nesses. Positively, Paul: explains that he had followed the God of his fathers, that he believed in fulfilled prophecy— Uterally the resurreetion of Jesus from the dead—that he came tb Jerusalem with alms for the poor, and, as before the council, he stands upon his in- tegrity. Ht. The Judge's Delay (rv. 22.27). Felix had a “more perfect knowledge of thet way.” We believe Be had se- cured this knowledge from Philip, the evangelist, and from Cornelius, the Ro- man centarion, both of whom lived in Caesarea. By deferring his decision, Felix avoided an. outragedus injustice to Paul, and at the same time gave serious offense to the troublesome Jews who knew of his evil conduct. From verse twenty-three we see. that Paul was given lberty, literally such indulgence in freedom as would be con- sistent with his safety. Luke, the phy- sician, and Philip, the evangelist, vis- ited hip here, bringing food, books and letters. After a time Felix and his. THE 8ST. LOUIN ARGUS ay bei ~ ¢ e $ _-..

He was careful in his use of words but he backed his words with deeds. He did not promise what he could not perform. He did not plaster the people with compliments they did not’ deserve. He wae not ¢ rhetorician, he was not a flatterer, he ‘was not “too proud: to fight” for labor ‘or for capital, for the strong or the ‘weak, when the right was on thelr -slde, : _. Mr, Wilson's spokesmen seek to dt ‘vert attention from the attacks Mr Hughes is making upon the record o! the Administration by asking Bim: “What would you do?" they are un consciously helping Mr. ‘Hughes. They ‘tare recalling to the memory of th people the record he made throughda! ‘his two terms as Governor of Nev York. It was then that he first sal¢ “public office shall not be a privat snap under my administration,” an¢ made performance square with prom ise. There {s this about Mr. Hughes that makes him so different from Mr ‘Wilson: “Hughes means what hi says.” So It Is that the campaign 1 really a contest of character betwee two men, with sincerity as the differ entiating and deciding factor.

Speaking of himself, shortly after his election, Mr. Wilson said he had a one-track mind, and he has proved it.. He has shown himself unequal to the task of solving the ¢om- plex questions and issues that’ are con- tinually arising for solution in a great government such as ours, and has stirred the‘country with factional strifo by his inability to take an impartial view of matters or to set aside his own personal prejudices, His treatment of the Negroes ehowed thut-hw had ‘taken into~ the White House all of*the traditions and ideals of the Southern ‘slave holder, In the organization of his cabinet he surround- ed himself with advisers picked from that class of Democrats who have been life-long enemies of the principles and practices that have made. the United States the greatest and wealthiest na- tion on earth, and began’ to undo. the great wérk of-a generation of capable government by the Republican party. For many years Negroes had worked in friendship and with efficiency along side their white fellow employees in the various government departments, and no political party,. prior to the advent of President Wilson, has ever attempted to -segregate the Negro in departmental. service. Even under Grover Cleveland, the Negro. was con- sidered part of official Washington, and proved himself to be a Gompetent and dependable American, But when Wood- row Wilson entered the White Hbnse ‘a woll organized effort was immediately begun to harrass, humiliate and embar- rass every Negro-in the employ of the government, with a view of driving them out of their positions to make room: for white. men and women. The next steps followed in natural sequence. New rules were adopted by the heads of departments ysegregating the Negro employees. Then followed the direct action of the president, in which he re- | moved nearly every Negro from the employ of the government who held '& position of any prominence or im: portance, throughout the country and [in the foreign diplomatic service, anc | in every case appointing white men t |fill their places, although there wer }] many able men among the Negroes whi | voted for him. | President Wilson’s administration }|} has been characterized throughout by || a shameless surrender to race prejudice | that has not only forced him to elim inate the Negro from the polities places. of ~prominence to which they had won theif way on their merits, bu ,| has caused him to commit himself t | | the policy of completely eliginating th | Negro from the government service p| which ‘be will carry out if he is re .|turned to power at the coming elec pa ttm vere -| With such a prospect in view, I d r| not think it possible that a single Ne gro voter can be found who will b foolish enough to cast a ballot for Mi Wilson or any other Demoeratie. cas + aidate.
