EPUBLICAN VICTORY IS NOW ASSURED hes and Fairbanks Will be Elected—Lamm and Dickey Will Sweep Missouri—Conservative Forcasts Give Missouri's Electoral Vote to Hughes, With Seven Congressmen and G. O. P. Control of the Lower House of the Next Assembly. the end approaches of one of the remarkable campaigns in the post history of Missouri, the outlook Republican success looms most saturally to those who have been engaged with the responsibility for its argument. Hukriede predicts Republican success. in 1904 by pluralities ranging from 5,000 to 25,000 and again in 1908, when Taft received the electoral vote of the state and Hadley was elected Governor by a plurality of 16,000. Republicans won again in 1910, when a supreme judge, railroad commissioner and superintendent of public schools were judge T. K. Hukriede, chairman of the Republican State Committee, who been in personal charge of the manent of the campaign, at the comme headquarters in the Internal Life Building, at Eighth and Nutt Streets, in St. Louis, gave out following forecast of probable ree of the election in the state: "It my opinion, based upon reliable and sentic information from all parts of state, that Judge Lamm and the ree state ticket will come to St. Louis with a majority from the inter-counties of the state, and if the of St. Louis meets the expectations the local management of the cammen, the Republican state ticket will selected by at least 30,000 majority. Unless all political signs fail, Missi will give its electoral vote to Hughes and Fairbanks. Indications also hint to the certain election of at least seven Republican congressmen and tough Republican representatives to control the Lower House of the next general Assembly. The people of Missouri have never town such enthusiasm as has been manifested in the present state campaign. Overwhelming crowds have exceeded Judge Lamm everywhere. The people are thoroughly aroused through the state and everywhere the Republican candidates meet an enthusiastic reception. "Advices from reliable sources in the East, presage an overwhelming victory for the National Republican ticket, and I confidently look forward to a return of the Republican party to power in the nation and the dawn of a new era of prosperity." Crouse Says Hughes Will Carry State H. P. Crouse, head of the publicity department of the Republican State Committee, says: "I believe that the American people, having had another serious lesson on the result of a low tariff in the impoverishment of the people previous to the resumption of partial protection under the war conditions, are going to overwhelmingly return the Republican party to power and opportunity in the national government. I confidently expect that Missouri will contribute its electoral vote to this desirable result and will otherwise permanently throw off the yoke of mossbackism and bourbonism by electing Walter S. Dickey to the United State Senate and Judge Lamm to the governorship. The election of the Republican state ticket and a majority of Republican congressman De Priest Says Missouri is for Hughes Oscar DePriest, a Negro, member of the Board of Aldermen, of Chicago, who has been touring western Missouri under the direction of the Republican National Committee, in a speech last week, before a conference of 200 Negro Republican workers, gave it as his opinion that Hughes will capture the electoral vote of Missouri and that the entire state ticket will be elected. He said sentiment in the state is overwhelming in favor of Walter S. Dickey for the United State Senate, and that Senator Jim Reed, whose Negro-working activities in the 63rd Congress earned him the ill will of every Negro in the United States, will be ignominiously defeated in Jackson County, where the Negro voters are thoroughly organized and making a special fight against him. Republicans Reunited in Missouri One of the results of the present campaign has been the wiping out of all actional differences among the Republicans, who are now reunited and working harmoniously for party success in the state. Practically 'all of' Progressives have realigned themselves with the Republican party and any Democrat, disgusted with the prior administration, have declared their purpose to vote for the Republican candidates at this election. That Missouri, under normal conditions, is a Republican state, has been early demonstrated in recent years. Republican candidates carried the state The St. Louis Argus in 1904 by pluralities ranging from 5,000 to 25,000 and again in 1908, when Taft received the electoral vote of the state and Hadley was elected Governor by a plurality, of 16,000. Republicans won again in 1910, when a supreme judge, railroad commissioner and superintendent of public schools were elected. With the ranks of the party reunited and with such candidates as Charles E. Hughes, Judge Henry Lamm and Walter S. Dickey leading the ticket, the Republicans ought to win the state by a record breaking majority. St. Louis Republicans United Voters out in the state who have been told that the Republicans in St. Louis are divided, that the German Republicans, who form an important part of the party strength in the city, were planning to knife Hughes at the polls, would have been disabused of that idea if they had attended the opening meeting of the state campaign, at the Odeon, when the crowd filled that immense hall and Hibernian Hall, half a block away; and still overflowed into the streets in such vast throngs that traffic was blocked. The Republicans of St. Louis are not only united, but enthusiastic in their support of both the national and state tickets. The Germans of St. Louis have always been loyal to the Republican party, and there are no reasons why they should be displeased with Hughes, but on the contrary there are many reasons why they should be opposed to Wilson, whom they have frequently charged with being strongly pro-British in his sympathies. The German Catholics, most of whom are Democrats, are strong in their, resentment against. Wilson because of his refusal to protect Americans from outrage in Mexico. Beware of Modern Judas Iscariot Judas Iscariot betrayed the Son of God with a kiss, for thirty pieces of silver. Let the Negro voter at this election beware the of modern Judas Iscariot. In this election campaign there are many of our race who are emulating the example of Judas. They will come to you with the coveted blood money jingling in their pockets, and with pleasant smiles and honeyed words, seek to seduce you into taking the fatal step that will enable them to betray you into the hands of your most deadly enemy. Thousands of Negro voters were induced four years ago, by leading men of our own race to vote for Woodrow Wilson for President. They made the most alluring promises of rich rewards that would come to them from the president if he was elected. We all know, to our sorrow, the result of the deal. Both the innocent victim and the betrayer were betrayed by President Wilson, who has become famous WARNING Absentees and "Invalids" can Register at the Election Commissioners' Office in City Hall on November 1 Only.

Says he Only Did his Duty. St. Louis Argus Special. The Colored people of Cambridge, under the leadership of J. Thomas Harrison, editor of the Advocate, have succeeded in preventing the Birth of a Nation from appearing at a local theater in this city. Following the strong editorial in the Advocate the people, both white and Colored, were stirred as never before. A delegation headed by T. S. Harten, composed of business men and the ministers, called upon Mayor Rockwood and made a united protest against the play. Whereupon the Mayor immediately revoked the license, saying that he felt that he had done his duty. Rev. Smith Has Successful Year Rev. N. L. Smith, the popular pastor of Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. church, will close one of the most successful year's work of his ministerial career, as well as one of the best in the history of the church. He has labored earnestly since coming to the city to accomplish the work so nobly achieved. Rev. Smith proved himself equal to the task entrusted to his care and keeping. He is a logical and forceful preacher, a successful pastor and a Christian gentleman. In a meeting held last Tuesday evening the officers and members were loud in their praise of Dr. Smith and his good work. It was the unanimous wish of the entire Official Board and members present to have Rev. Smith returned for another year. Next Sunday will be the last opportunity to hear the pastor preach in this conference year. Pastor Smith will fill the pulpit both services. His subject at 11 a. m. will be: "The Church and Satanic Power," and at 8 p. m., "The Thing Most Needed." Mrs. Lula Wallace, one of St. Louis' popular singers, will favor us with a selection at the 11 o'clock service. All are invited. ALL SAINTS CHUECH NEWS All Saints Day falls on November 1 and will be celebrated with a special commemoration for the faithful departed. Services, 7:30 and 11 a.m. Most eloquent speeches are being rendered during the convention by visiting bishops, clergy and priests. One of the finest the congregation ever heard was Bishop Griswold's sermon Sunday at the eleven o'clock service. The choir, under the direction of Prof. Elmer Keeton, is being highly commended by the visitors, many of whom were white, who confess the services were a great object lesson to them. Attention was also called to the beauty of the building and the devout bearing of the congregation. It is said that the memorial adopted by the congregation, protesting to the general convention against racial separation in the church was largely influential in bringing about the defeat of the proposition to set apart the Negro people in a separate jurisdiction under a special bishop. ROSCOE C. SIMMONS SPEAKS Roscoe C. Simmons, the sweet singing orator of the race, who is making campaign speeches in the interest of G. O. P., under the auspices of the National Republican Committee, delivered two-most interesting addresses in St. Louis this week. Hon. Nelson C. Crews, of Kansas City, was also here and spoke before a large crowd Monday night. These two men are said to be the best orators of our race today. COLORED WOMAN'S $900,000 FOR TUNE SAID TO BE ABOUT GONE New York. It is said that Hannah Elina has practically disposed of all of the $800,000 in realty, stocks and bonds gives to her by the late John R. Platt during the nineteen years of their acquaintance. At one time, she had a retinue of twenty white and Japanese servants. She now has only one servant, an automobile and a limousine. Many of her jewels have vanished.

Mr. W. L. Majors Extends Hospitalities. Dr. J. T. Phillips, the well known physician, of Nashville, Tenn., is in the city visiting his relatives and friends. The young doctor is very popular here, and he is receiving signal social attention. Dr. Phillips has been visiting Washington, D. C., Now York and other eastern points and is en route to Nashville, Tenn. Last Tuesday night Mr. W. L. Majors tendered the doctor a stag at his beautiful residence on West Belle and the event was one of the most delightful of the season. Mr. Majors acted as toastmaster and interesting toasts were given by Drs. J. T. Phillips, W. P. Curtis, W. J. Stewart, Harriet, Thurman, I. C. James, Cheatham, C. H. Phillips, Jr., R. C. Haskell. A most toochsome menu was served consisting of five courses. The house was beautifully decorated with pink roses and flowers and the doctors had a most wonderful time. Mr. Majors and Dr. Phillips are personal friends. Some months ago Mr. Majors visited Nashville; where he was extended many courtesies by Dr. Phillips. The young doctor says "Mr. Majors is a genius and will be surely heard from in the future. He is a credit not only to St. Louis, but also to the race, whose confidence, support and good will be justly merits." ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Professors of New York, Boston Philadelphia, St. Louis and Chicago selected the song, "You Tell It" or "Jitney Bus Joy" for this dance because it has such lovely swinging music. Go to Prof. Lucky's academy and see the 1917 movements. NOTICE. The Home Protective 'Association's office has been removed from 2847 Morgan street to 2623 Pendleton' avenue. Signed, Rev. J. J. Johnson. FRANK CHATMAN ASSAULTED. Last Friday George Moore, who it is claimed, has a criminal record, assaulted Frank Chatman by striking him on the head with a shovel at Scullins steel plant. According to witnesses, the men quarreled about the work and Chatman, as foreman, tried to correct Moore in his work, which angered him. Chatman was taken to Barnes' Hospital in a serious condition, while Moore is being held by the police. Andrew Wright, another foreman, presented the escape of Moore by holding him until the arrival of the police. Republican MEMPHIS NEGROES ARE ATTENDING VOTING SCHOOLS Thousands Being Instructed Nightly at Ward Meetings. Nearly 10,000 on Registration Books. Leaders Supply Funds. Women of the Race Taking Active Part in Seeing That Men are able to Vote. Indications of the Negro coming back into politics in Shelby County are furnished in the recent supplemental registration and in the way Negroes are now being organized and schooled under Republican auspices to vote in readiness for the November election. The Negroes have a large central organization in a political club. The Negroes have shown an unequaled interest in politics since August, when weekly meetings began in Church's Park on Beale avenue. From there have sprung out tentacles of a Negro voting machine that extends throughout the Tenth Congressional District and probably through West Tennessee. Bob Church and several other wealthy Negro leaders have been giving funds or getting money from national Republican headquarters. Speakers have been sent out from Memphis and brought here. Any Negro who possesses a registration certificate and a poll tax receipt was allowed to enter Church's Park, others were barred. The news of these meetings went abroad over the city and county and almost every Negro made bastet to pay his poll tax and register. Meetings at, Church's Park are now held almost nightly, it is claimed by Beale avenue residents. Negro voting schools are being organized and now exist in nearly every ward in the city. Both men and women are busy schooling the Negroes to vote. The churches are being used as assembling places and instruction cards and duplicates of the ballots that will be used in November are used. White Republicans of both factions state that the Negroes have broken entirely away from their organization. They say the Negroes got out their legislative ticket and congressional nominee of their own initiative. The reason for this is said to be because the Negroes want to have a real test of whether the Negro vote or the white Republican vote is strongest. The Negroes say they want their share of Republican patronage, which they are denied by the whites, but which they will get if their ticket polls more votes than the white Republican homines. This information on Negro voting schools is taken from reports of several white men and half a dozen Negroes who have been making special investigations over the entire city for The Commercial Appeal. A complete count, in the city in the recent supplemental registration shows that 2,229 whites registered against 2,153 Negroes, giving the whites a scant lead of 76. In the county the Negroes have a lead of five to one over the whites. CENTRAL BAPTIST NEWS Next week will be a full week at Central. On Tuesday night the Symphony Chorus of the church will give a Halloween party, over which the young people and their friends are very much enthused. On Wednesday night all the deacons, the deaconesses and the parish group visitors are going to meet in a splendid get together meeting. Pastor Stevens will then plan with the workers for the great final November financial campaign through the parish. But the big night of the week will be the following Thursday. On this night, November 2, there will be rendered by the choir and a chorus of 75 voices the dramatic cantata of the Fall of Babylon. The costumes and the music will make the event a notable one. On next Sunday every member is asked to bring a penny for each of the seventy years that Central has been a church. The offering is to be brought in the form of seven dimes. The pastor will prench from this subject: "The Reason for the Writing on the Wall." This is the subject for the morning. In the evening at 8 o'clock there will be a great meeting on the subject of "The Education of Our Youth." At that time the importance of the bond issue will be shown.

You have shown that the government at Washington had full knowledge of the danger of the situation’ through telegrams from Admiral Mayo sent by wireless to the navy department on April 11, 12 and 13. You also give the telegram of Mr, Dantels of April 20 directing the admiral to pro- eed to Vera Cruz, Mayo Feared Lots of Life. “You have shown that Admiral Mayo made an emphatic protest to the navy department, stating that he feare! the result of the squadron's leaving would be the loss of American lives ind property. You also quote the telegrams sent by Admiral Mayo the following day, containing the pro- test. of the American consul, Mr. Miller, und requesting authority to remain at Tampico. You have shown that, nevertheless, the navy depart- ment on the 21st confirmed Its previ; ous orders, and directed the ships to leave at once, “You have shown that, the admiral Put out into the ocean, eight tiles distant, but recelved a protest from Consul Miller reiterating his demand for protection. You then quote the .telekrams and signals of Adutiral Mayo, who, in spite of his orders, nobly refused to run from the post of duty while the lives of American men, Yomen and. children were in danger.” Can't Hide Behind Daniets. Of the President and Secretary Danlels the colonel writes: “President Wilson cannot shield him- self behind Mr, Daniels, for Mr. Dan- leis could do nothing that the president does not order or squction. When Mr. Dantels' actions have been brought to the attention of Mr. Wil- son, and’ are-not repudiated by him, they Become Mr. Wilson's; and Mr. Wilson Is fully and completely respon- sible for Mr. Daniels, for all that he‘has done and left undone, The proof is absolute that when Adiiral Mayo was at Tampico he had received full knowledge of the rioting and of the imminent danger to Am- erican yes; but that, nevertheless, he steamed away Into the ocean, and ‘that the Americans were rescued by German and Britist( ships. This ac- toi constituted so grave an offense frow the standpoint of national duty- and self-respect, that any man re sponsible: for it should be at once taken out of wflice.

DEMOCRATIC STATE BE As the campaign draws to the points which have been threshed, publican candidate for governor throughout Scott County, makes a Democratic state blunders and man.

The Land Bank is a Democratic More than $300,000 of the school expenses. The management of the state chairman of the State Democratic Appropriations were in excess. Police of Kansas City and St. Teachers were assessed to pay D. So the deaf, blind, dumb, little criminals, the incorrigible, idiots Democratic greed and blunders. The Chicago News, the strongest leghanies has forsaken Wilson, Hughes' bandwagon. Our eloquent Negro orator, Ro the searchlights on President Wilson which Wilson's hopes have found. VOTE THE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET Publicans have selected a good national, state, or it straight.

Nancy Lamm, the matchless campaigner, then, the kindly, neighborly and staunch friend, at the law is applied equally and evenly. He lawless. His broad and comprehensive view led his character for fair dealing and just-minded man with lofty ideals.

Action of many jobs has bankrupted the state that institutions have not been paid salaries nor how. Members were not paid and were compelled to borrow office holders were paid regularly. Members were not paid. Bank is a Democratic political scheme. A $300,000 of the school fund was subtracted. Management of the state penitentiary was turned to the State Democratic Committee. Applications were in excess of revenues $2,640,000. Kansas City and St. Joseph were used in the assessment to pay Democratic campaign expenses, blind, dumb, little children and old men.

VOTE THE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET The Republicans have selected a good national, state and city ticket. Vote it straight. Mr. Hughes will have a fair and impartial administration and allow no color line to be drawn; just like he did when he was governor of New York. No Negro of that state utters a single word of complaint against him. Judge Henry Lamm, the matchless campaigner, the just and exalted judge; the kindly, neighborly and staunch friend of the Negro will see that the law is applied equally and evenly. His public life is almost flawless. His broad and comprehensive views as a jurist have stamped his character for fair dealing and justice. He is a cool, sober-minded man with lofty ideals. Under his administration as governor such lynching and man-burning as took place at Springfield can not be repeated without meting out to the perpetrators the direct punishment. Heretofore he has shown a deep interest in the protection, education and welfare of the Negro in Missouri. We shall not forget that Judge Lamm personally worked to create ample facilities for the education of the Negro youth, helping to create Negro public schools here and there. He has always been considerate of the Negro's rights, both in private and public. It was on account of these good qualities that a convention of Negroes was called in Sedalia to prevail upoft him to become a candidate for governor. They brought him out, gave him the first endorsement, he became our candidate and now desires every Negro vote on November 7. Our city ticket, from top to bottom, is sound and straight Republican. You can not afford to scratch a single name. Vote it straight. Considering the hardships we, as a race, are now undergoing, the political persecutions and proscriptions, it behooves every Negro to stand by his colors. His colors are his party, his flag and his manhood and he can not enjoy enfranchised manhood in this country unless the Republican party is in power. This is no time to experiment. The safe and sane way is—Vote the Republican Ticket and Vote it Straight. DEMOCRATIC STATE BLUNDERS AND MISDEEDS As the campaign draws to the end summaries give emphasis to the points which have been threshed out in the discussion, and the Republican candidate for governor, in his effort at Sikeston and throughout Scott County, makes a very interesting catalogue of the Democratic state blunders and misdeeds. The creation of many jobs has bankrupted the state treasury. The state institutions have not been paid salaries nor expenses and had to borrow. The teachers were not paid and were compelled to borrow. Democratic office holders were paid regularly. The pensions were not paid. The Land Bank is a Democratic political scheme. More than $300,000 of the school fund was subtracted for the state expenses. The management of the state penitentiary was turned over to the chairman of the State Democratic Committee. Teachers were assessed to pay Democratic campaign expenses. So the deaf, blind, dumb, little children and old men and women, criminals, the incorrigible, idiots and insane have all been filched by Democratic greed and blunders. The Chicago News, the strongest daily newspaper west of the Alleghanies has forsaken Wilson, made a leap and landed in the Hughes' bandwagon. Our eloquent Negro orator, Rosco Conklin Simmons, is throwing the searchlights on President Wilson. The Negro is the rock upon which Wilson's hopes have foundered. The St. Louis Branch of The Lincoln Institute Alumni Association will have a meeting Sunday, October 29, for the purpose of reorganization.

Weinl THE PEOPLE'S TRUE FRIEND 1930 CONGRESSMAN L. C. DYER Candidate for Re-election to Congress From the Twelfth District Whether in Congress or at home Hon. L. C. Dyer has always been the "peoples friend." Not merely to gratify personal ambition, but a keen desire to serve the city, to serve the state, to serve the nation. Such is the undisputed record of Mr. Dyer. As a member of Congress he has ever been watchful of the welfare of all the people, and has given special attention to any legislation affecting the welfare of the Negro. If a few more men like Mr. Dyer was in Congress all men, regardless of race, creed or color, would soon come into their own. Editor's Note: I am personally acquainted with Hon. L. C. Dyer, representative in Congress from the Twelfth District of Missouri. He is a man of broad mind, capable, and a consciences servant of all the people. He is never "too busy" to do his duty as a member of Congress, not to hear the wishes of the most humble. Such is the record of L. C. Dyer. ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. S. E.

Phone, Bonom, 412. VOTE FOR BECKER FOR COURT OF APPEALS Wm. Dee Becker, nominee for judge of the Court of Appeals for the District of St. Louis, is a well-known St. Louisan. He is an experienced and eminent lawyer and has many accomplishments. eminently fitting for the judgeship. He is temperamentally cool and deliberate. His prejudices and excitability have no control over him, his habits are prudent, his studies and researches are the most painstaking and thorough, and the lawyer in him is so well seasoned that it now has become the judge. His intellectual and moral fitness for a high judicial position is, of course, a very necessary qualification, as well as his views and actions. He is a Republican, well-grounded and life time, and, on the race question, he has always expressed and shown himself to entertain the most impartial opinions. Race and color will have no weight in his judgment and if there is any tendency at all it will be on the side of mercy, as may be allowed by the discretionary powers of the judge. The Court of Appeals stands between the Circuit and the Supreme Court in the state judiciary. We need a friend on the bench of the Court of Appeals. We mean by friend, a man who will not allow race or color to swerve him from the path of justice, who has never or will never join in any movement to oppress his fellowman, but will stand upon the broad principles of equality before the law. Such a man is Wm. Dee Becker. Vote for him for Judge of the Court of Appeals. THE PALACE PANTATORIUM Is where special attention is given to cleaning, pressing, dyeing and repairing.

EDITORIAL HOT SHOTS The Negro who casts his vote for the Democratic ticket in this election, commits political suicide. A vote for Hughes, Lamm and Dickey, is a vote for the highest American ideals, liberty, justice and equality. A vote for Wilson, Gardner and Reed, is a vote for the ideals of the ex-slaveholder, race prejudice, segregation and elimination of the Negro.

Republican Victory Assured (Continued from page 1.) for his broken pledges. No occupant of the White House was ever so false to all American ideals. No president before Wilson ever stooped to the level of a Negro-baiter. No other president ever debased that high office by putting the stamp of official approval upon the menest and lowest of human passions, race hatred, by introducing the practice of segregation in the departments of the government to insult, humiliate and brand as inferior, the employees of the government of the Negro race. Wilson has nothing but the utmost contempt for every member of the Negro race, but he is not too proud to ask for votes from those whom he has so signally wronged. He believes and has always believed in the doctrine that, "the Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect." But in his hypocritical self-righteousness, he acquits himself of any wrong doing. Wilson is so saturated with race prejudice that he not only approves of his own reprisals against the race, but has deliberately inspired the heads of every arm of the government service to follow his example, and we may look for much worse persecution of the same kind if he is re-elected. Early in his present administration, when a protest went to Washington against the unjust discrimination made in the Post Office Department in the promotion of Negro clerks, the reply came in unmistakable language, to the effect that: "Not only would the promotion of Negroes to positions where they would be the official superiors of white men, be discontinued, but that henceforth the policy of the administration would be to decrease the number of Negroes in the service." This means the gradual elimination of the Negro from the postal service. Four years more of Wilson will mean the complete destruction of all the rights the Negro now has. Bills were introduced during the last Congress by Democrats to strip the Negro bare of his rights, and rest assured, that they will be revived and passed if the Democrats are returned to power. Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts: Let the Negro voters "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts." The betrayer makes his approach in many forms. One of the most seductive forms of approach is the gift in the form of "easy money." Unless you are very firm, you may fall a victim to this bait. Don't be deceived by flattering promises and easy money, into selling your birthright for a mess of pottage. It may look easy to you to take some of this easy money to work for a (friendly) Democrat without sacrificing your principles, but thousands of the most intelligent men lose their vote at every general election by scratching their ballots. The Negro voter has too much at stake to take the slightest chance with his ballot at this election. Scratching a ballot in dangerous work. Party principles are more important at this election than men. Take no such chance. A straight ballot is easily counted and gives no excuse for being rejected. Hughes is Just to the Negro Charles Evans Hughes has always been just and friendly in his attitude toward the Negro. His actions as Governor of New York and as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court have always been in accord with the traditions and policies of the Republican party. He has been bold and outspoken in his decisions as a Supreme Court judge, and the Negro has received more favorable decisions from that tribunal since he has been on the bench than during the previous fifty years. The Negro's cause was in safe hands when he was on the Supreme Bench and the interests of the Negro race will be safe in his hands as president. The election of Hughes and Fairbanks will mean the restoration to the Negro of all of which Wilson and his associates have robbed him in the last four years and give him an equal opportunity with other classes of citizens in the struggle for advancement. In the celebrated peonage case of Lonzo Bailey, Justice Hughes wrote a decision in which he interpreted the Thirteenth Amendment as, "A charter of universal civil liberty for all persons, of whatever race, color or estate, intended to abolish slavery of whatever name or form, and all its badges and incidents; to render impossible any state of bondage, to make labor free, by prohibiting involuntary servitude. In any emergency Hughes as president could be relied upon to act with a high and noble purpose and decide justly, if our interests are at stake. He would not be controlled by any kind of prejudice, but would consider and weigh the evidence without regard to the race or color of the parties involved. As Negroes we ask no more than justice, and this we are sure of under an administration presided over by Charles Evans Hughes. It is up to every Negro voter to decide for himself whether he would prefer to have Hughes, who will protect his rights or Wilson, who will destroy them, as president for the next four years. The men's meetings of the Young Men's Christian Association begin Sunday, November 5, at the Pythian Hall. This will be a series of eight meetings under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, running through November and December. The first meeting will be addressed by Dr. W. F. McMillan, pastor of the Lafayette Park Presbyterian Church. This is Dr. McMillan's first appearance before the Y. M. C.

The information was given out at the branch that the Building Fund is gradually growing, and assurance is also made that the lot which has been delayed for so long a time, will be purchased shortly. In the Employment Department, the Association has not been able to supply the calls for help that have come. Any young man who can furnish satisfactory reference can, in all likelihood, be placed by applying at the Association Building. Among the dormitory men of the last week was Howard Drew, the spinner of international reputation. Drew was in the city as assistant coach to the Drake University football ball team, and while in the city made his headquarters at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. G. W. Moore, secretary of the International Committee, was also a transient at the Young Men's Christian Association, through the week. CARONDELET NEWS.

You will ever be remembered by the members and friends of St. Douglas with a feeling of highest esteem. With a deep sense of the appreciation of the good work that you have done in the community for the past three years, we have come here tonight to celebrate with you and bring these words of cheer and tokens of friendship.

With your name in kindness, in love, in mercy, on the hearts of many thousands you have come in contact with, time after time, you will never be forgotten.'

He will be greatly missed by the members of the church. Mrs. Matilda Hays, mother-in-law of Rev. R. S. Willis was burned to death at the residence of her son-in-law and daughter, Oct. 15, while the family were attending church. The cause of the fire is unknown. Mrs. Hays was born in Macon County, Missouri, and was 79 years, 3 months and 23 days of age. She was buried from the Gallilee Baptist Church, thence to Father Dickson's Cemetery. She was well known throughout the State as a Missionary worker, having been a member of the church for 68 years and brought many good messages to the people. She leaves one daughter, three sons, one granddaughter, one son-in-law, two daughters-in-law and a host of friends to mourn her loss. IN MEMORIAM To my dear husband, Harrison Mayes who departed this life Oct. 26, 1914: A shadow fell upon my life, When Death, the Reaper, came; And took my husband, dear, away, From earthly care and pain; But when the mist has passed away, I'll meet him some sweet day, And may God help us both in time To awaken in a brighter clime. Sadly missed by wife, Marie Mayes. IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dear daughter and sister, Virginia M. Calyin, who departed this life Oct. 26, 1915: "Time rolls on, it will not stay, How we felt since that sad day. With one so loving, kind and true, How hard it was to part with you." "In the graveyard softly sleeping, Where the flowers gently wave, Lies the one we love so dearly, Sadly missed by mother, Mrs. America Allen, sisters, Mrs. Victor Simon and Mrs. Chas. Jonés.

BROWN 1850-1937 IF ELECTION WERE OVER? While Democrats Are Admittedly the Champion Question Flends, It Is Believed This Quiz Is as Un- If election day were past would President Wilson make so little of the principle of arbitration in industrial disputes? Would he be so sure that it is more important to preserve pence, when a great strike is threatened, than it is to make judicial methods rather than force the means of settling differences between capital and labor? If election day had come and gone would Mr. Wilson keep the national guardsmen of the country in camp on the ground that they may be needed to protect the United States against Mexico? Would there be months of inaction and indecision in which no use is made of a large body of citizen soldiers? Would they not be allowed to go home or else be set in motion to make Mexico as safe a neighbor as the Administration seems to think that it is already? If election day were past would the President drive through Congress a bill like the shipping bill which is intended to embark the federal government upon a new venture in a hazardous field and use $50,000,000 of the people's money to buy tonnage held above its normal value or else so owned that it cannot be used without peril of international complications? Is sound public policy behind such a measure or only campaign politics? If election day were not to be considered would Woodrow Wilson use so many high and mighty words in international notes and do so little to make them mean anything practical? Would his deeds lag so far behind his phrases?—Cleveland Leader. "HE DIDN'T DO RIGHT" Independent Voters Turning This Conviction Over and Over in Their Minds and It Will Cost Mr. Wilson Many a Vote. A Democrat who never voted for a Republican candidate for President except in 1872, when he was forced by the lack of a Democratic nominee to cast his ballot for Horace Greeley, says: "I expect to vote for Woodrow Wilson, but I don't like his course in the railroad dispute. He didn't do right." The railroad controversy has introduced a moral issue into the campaign. Mr. Wilson sacrificed principle to expediency, or what he judged to be expediency, when he tamely surrendered to the demands of the train-service brotherhood. He put his own personal and party need before the public good. He angled for votes. He aimed a body blow at the tried and tested arbitration method of settling differences. "God help you; I cannot," he is said to have exclaimed to the railroad managers, who do not poll as many votes as their employees. But he could have helped them if he had stood impartially between them and the utterly reckless train-service representatives who were bent on their rule-or-ruin programme. "He didn't do right." The consciousness of that fact is sinking deep into the American mind. "He didn't do right." That widespread conviction will cost him thousands of votes on election day. "He didn't do right." He preferred the weak, the timid, attitude of the born compromiser. The American people like courage. The like convictions. They like a man who has the courage of his convictions. They like a man who is willing to risk consequences for the sake of a just cause. It was an unjust cause in which Woodrow Wilson enlisted when he accepted the brotherhood view that the chief item in their demands could not be arbitrated.—Providence Journal. FIVE THOUSAND A DAY. Enroliments in the Hughes National College League. The Hughes National College League, 511 Fifth avenue, New York, is receiving enrolments at the rate of five thousand a day. They are coming from all parts of the country, and the work of organizing branches in all states and most of the important cities has been started. A large percentage, of the enrollments are from men who give their usual political affiliations as Progressive, Democratic or Independent. The league has received the endorsement of Governor Hughes, who wired: "If there was ever a time when the educated men of the country who have its welfare at heart should work for right principles and strong government it is now," Chairman Willcox of the Republican National Committee, ex-President Taft, and John Hays Hammond have also praised the work enthusiastically, as much on the score of the benefit to the men themselves as of the real work it will do to help elect Governor Hughes. The President must be credited with having put a slick one over if he can get the votes and make the people pay the treight. Latin politeness is groverbial, but aren't these Mexican commissioners exceeding the limit, when they persist in likening Woodrow Wilson to Venatiano Carranza? Kansas City Budweiser and Other Foods There's food value in beer—as well as beverage enjoyment. A bottle of Budweiser may not be offered as a complete meal—but it has its place in the meal comparable to bread, milk or any other of the dishes or drinks that are part of the well-balanced lunch or dinner. The alcohol in beer (a small percentage) has its tonic value and its use as an appetizer. The hops have a nerve-soothing value. The malt not only has food value, but is, of all foods, one of the most quickly and easily turned by digestion into nourishment. By its very nature beer is especially thirst-satisfying.

In his kneeling to the demands of the trainmen, in his sacrifice of the sacred principle of arbitration on the altar of peace-at-any-price, we see, in review, the whole philosophy of the Wilson theory of government and nationality. "It is better to run than to fight." That theory is at work in American government today for the first time.—Boston Journal. The Wilson Waltz. In view of recent events the following formula everheard on a hotel veranda may be of interest: The Wilson waltz, one step forward, three steps backward, hesitate, then sidestep. The Administration is depressed by the reflection that under no circumstances can it postpone election day. Wilson insists that he will never recognize government by assassination, but he hasn't cut off relations with those who have assassinated Americans. The first President and the first Congress that ever submitted to a hold-up. And, by the way, nobody will ever be able to claim this was a regular Democratic Admistration unless we have a bond issue before March 4, 1917. Betting on Hughes and Wilson is dangerous both to Democrats and Republicans. In one of the New England states such a bet was made a few days ago. The officers heard of it and they arrested the Republican on a charge of robbery and seized the Democrat to an insane asylum. Be careful. One thing we must all admit. The President is never too proud to sidestep. A surplus of $5,200,000 from the postal service during the fiscal year ending June 30, is reported by Postmaster-General Burleson. With the department more than paying expenses, it would seem that the executive officials could afford to keep on the payroll members of the National Church who responded when the President called out the Organized Militia for duty on the border. President Wilson seems to have founded his diplomacy on a rock which is off its base most of the time. The Eastern witsmiths persist in referring to the Secretary of the Navy as Miss Josephine Dunleigh. No wonder the Woman's Party is camping on the trail of the Administration! Mr. Wilson forgot to mention the pledges of economy in the 1912 platform. "In his diplomacy," says Ollie James, "the President has sounded a new note." What, another one? It begins to appear that that single-track mind system will have to be temporarily double-tracked. A few weeks hence, of course, it will be side-tracked. The President is now a candidate for office and speaks well of labor. Until he became a candidate for office, and as long as he was President of a University, he, with entire safety, ignored or assailed the Labor Unions, indeed, he was then their bitter, ungenerous, and often unjust critic. At the People's Forum on February 25, 1905, he said: "Labor Unions drag the highest man to the level of the lowest." In an address at a dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria on March 18, 1907, in speaking of the capitalists, he said: "There is another equally formidable enemy to 'equality and betterment of opportunity, and that is the class formed by the labor organizations and leaders of this country." In a letter written January 12, 1909, he said: "I am a fierce partisan of the open shop." In June of the same year, speaking at Princeton, he said: "The usual standard of the employee in our day is to give as little as he may for his wages. Labor is standardized by the trades unions and this is the standard to which it is made to conform. I need not point out how economically disastrous such a regulation of labor is. The labor of America is rapidly becoming unprofitable under this regulation. Our economic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants." I have no question that when Mr. Wilson thus spoke he expressed his sincere convictions. Less than two years later he was in public life and immediately his attitude changed. There is no reason to believe that his convictions changed.—From the Speech of Colonel Roseveil at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. EMPTY PHRASES INSTEAD OF CONCRETE ACTION. Not once has President Wilson squarely placed before the American people the question which Abraham Lincoln put before the American people in 1860; what is our duty? Not once has he appealed to moral idealism, to the stern enthusiasm of strong men for the right. On the contrary, he has employed every elocutionary device to lull to sleep our sense of duty, to make us content with words instead of deeds, to make our moral idealism and enthusiasm evaporate in empty phrases instead of being reduced to concrete action.—From the speech of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, delivered at Lewiston, Maine, in behalf of Charles E. Hughes. Telling Tariff Points Let these telling points on tariff and protection in the speech by Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican candidate for President, delivered in the Salt Lake Tabernacle, be fixed permanently in your mind and memory during the remainder of the campaign: We are desirous of having strong and sure the foundations of our national greatness in this pursuit of competition among the nations which is sure to follow the cessation of the present struggle. I presume that the Republican party as the national party, according to the constitution of the United States, within the national sphere, shall proceed wherever it is practicable, to build up and foster and encourage American enterprise, and open the doors wide for honest American achievement. Then came the Underwood tariff bill itself. What was the result? Enterprise halted and there was a contraction of trade throughout the land, and America, instead of going ahead, stopped. That is what happened. Three hundred thousand were unemployed in the City of New York. There was not a city in this land where the jobless man anxious and able to work did not walk the street. They were fed by our charitable organizations, which were taxed to the utmost limit to provide for those for whom American enterprise could no longer make provision. It was a sad spectacle. Americans have not forgotten it. It is not forgotten here or anywhere. It cannot be forgotten. It is too recent. If you are going to have the basis for prosperity in this country; if you are going to protect the American wage scale; if you are going to have American enterprise able to meet the competition which will follow the ending of this war, you must have an honestly devised; wisely framed tariff law to protect American industry. No, the Democratic party will not be saved by the European war. If you would, know what our condition will be when the war ends, think of what our condition was before that war began, if you think these nations are so impoverished that they cannot again turn to work. Those millions of men now fighting are better able to work than ever before in their lives. Their factories are there; their plants are there; they know themselves better than ever before. They are better disciplined, more alert, keener, stronger, better physically than ever before, in the main, and they are ready to turn great national energies into the pursuits of peace to pay their war bills, to produce up to the limit, to send their goods throughout the world. I propose that we shall study this out, applying a principle that we believe in, and secure intelligently and honestly adequate protection to American industries in every part of this land. WHY HUGHES IS NEEDED IN THIS TREMENDOUS CRISIS. Against Mr. Wilson's combination of grace in elocution with futility in action; against his record of words unbacked by deeds or betrayed by deeds, we set Mr. Hughes' rugged and uncompromising straightforwardness of character and action in every office he has held. We put the man who thinks and speaks directly, and whose words have always been made good, against the man whose adroit and facile elocution is used to conceal his plans or his want of plans. The next four years may well be years of tremendous national strain. Which of the two men do you, the American people, wish at the helm during those four years; the man who has been actually tried and found wanting, or the man whose whole career in public office is a guarantee of his power and good faith? But one answer is possible; and it must be given by the American people throughout the United States.—From speech of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, delivered at Lewiston, Maine, in behalf of Charles E.
