TAKE NO CHANCES, VOTE EARLY NOV.7 PLAY SAFE, VOTE THE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET A Liberal Reward For Any Negro Who Will Say He Will Vote For Wilson HUGHES, LAMM AND DICKEY WILL BE ELECTED TUESDAY Negroes Are on Trial. Leaders see Victory if Voters Cast Solid Ballot for Republican Candidate. Vote Against Wilson and Disfranchisement. Charles G. Williams, of Boonville, Mo., chairman of the Auxiliary Republican State Committee, does not Year Democratic intimidation of Negro voters in Missouri. When seen at the headquarters of the committee, in the International Life Building, in St. Louis, although overwhelmed by the activities of the strenuous campaign, he took time to express his opinion on the political situation in Missouri, formed from the reports received from an army of trained workers, scattered over all parts of the state. Mr. Williams said in part: "Reports from all over Missouri indicate that the present campaign has been the most stubborn political battle in the history of the state. But we have had the aid and co-operation of the ablest and most experienced Negro orators, political workers in the state, who have worked conscientiously and efficiently for the Republican cause, and the results have been highly satisfactory. "The Negro voters have been reached and thoroughly aroused and organized and several thousand more Negro voters will be brought to the polls to cast their ballots for the candidates of the Republican party than have ever before voted at an election in Missouri. "Our campaign speakers and organizers have been greeted everywhere, with greater and more enthusiastic crowds than in any former campaign. Every nook and corner of the state has been reached and the Negro voters everywhere are eager to cast a vote to register to protest against the actions of the Wilson administration, and while I do not predict a landslide, I feel perfectly safe in forecasting the election of the entire Republican ticket in Missouri." DARNEY PREDICTS ELECTIONS OF HUGHES, LAMM AND DICKKEY Fred W. Dabney, head of the organization department of the Auxiliary State Republican Committee, said, "I look for a larger and more enthusiastic support of the Republican candidates by the Negro voters in Missouri next Tuesday, because of the attitude of the national administration and the open hostility of Senator Reed, of Missouri, who allied himself with such Negro haters as Senators Tillman and Cardaman, in opposing the rights of the Negro race in the 63rd Congress. "The little handful of Negroes, who for selfish reasons, are advocating a division of the Negro vote, are not meeting with any success at the hands of the race, and file of our people. There is no question of political expediency in a division of our vote as long as the Democratic party of the nation is dominated by the Democrats of the South. "The events of the last four years have served to convince the Negroes of this and as a result, not only in the state of Missouri, but throughout the nation. Negroes who gave their vote for Wilbon four years ago, are now working like Trojans for the election of Hughes, and I believe I am justified in predicting that Missouri will send Walter S. Dickey to the United States Senate and will elect Judge Henry Lamm to the governorship of Missouri by the largest majority ever given any candidate on a state ticket in recent years." **NEGROES UNANIMOUS AGAINST** WILSON "The Negro voters of the United States are practically unanimous in their opposition to President Wilson. The Democratic campaign managers are well aware of that fact. The course of injustice and segregation to which the Negroes have been subjected ever since the Wilson administration came into power has been such as to alienate every Colored voter that ever was The St. Louis Argus DEMOCRATS PACING DEFEAT PLAN DESPERATE MEASURES Hope to Frighten Negro Votess From Polls. Intimidation to be Tried in all Northern States. Party sees Wilson's Doom Unless Negro is Barred friendly to Wilson. "Knowing that this vote is wholly against them the Democratic managers have set out deliberately to prevent it from being cast or counted. This is the real explanation of the sensational charges of Negro colonization that the Democratic managers have been so industrially scattering around the country for the last two or three weeks. "This is the secret behind the allegations of activity by the Department of Justice and the appointment of special attorneys general to investigate and prosecute colonizers. "The Democrats know that there are no such colonies. They know that the movement of Negroes from some of the Southern states, on which they relied to give some color of creditability to their reckless charge, was a genuine effort to secure more labor for northern concerns. They knew that it was fostered and encouraged by the Democratic Bureau of Employment in the Department of Labor, before the Democratic managers saw a political opportunity in it. "DEMOCRATS CIRCULATE FALSE HOOD "But relying upon the probability that the general public would be ignorant of the fact, the uncorpulous Democratic managers spread their calculated falsehood. It was important to them to get this charge of colonization floated, in order to lay a foundation for the execution of their plan to keep Negroes away from the polls on election day. The Democrats have long been expert in the disfranchisement of Negroes in the South. But they also know that the North is not a shotgun country. They knew they must devise some method that does not rely upon the shotgun tactics for execution. "PLAN TO CHALLENGE NEGRO VOTERS "They plan to challenge every Negro voter who goes to the polls and offers to vote. It is by this species of intimidation that they plan to frighten a good many Negroes out of voting, or at least to make it so difficult for them that many thousands will lose their votes. "But the scheme won't work. The Republican managers will take steps to meet it wherever the Democrats attempt to put it into execution. The National Republican Party has for the first time in its history recognized the voting power of the Colored woman by establishing at Chicago, Ills. Colored Women's Hughes Republican Headquarters. This bureau is fully equipped with responsible and representative Colored women in charge: Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis, the well known club woman, is chairman, Mrs. Ada McKinley, secretary and Mrs. Funnie Barrier Williams is in charge of the Publicity Department. The party recognizes that one of the most interesting and significant features of this campaign is the fact that there are 60,000 Colored women in the thirteen suffrage states who can cast their vote for president of the United States and in some states they may hold the balance of power. This bureau hopes, through the Colored press, clubs, churches and other organizations, to coach a large number of the Colored women in the suffrage states and urge them to cast their votes for Hughes who stands for equal rights to all men regardless of color. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1916. AT B. W. THEATRE Will Be Received Over Leased Wire Tuesday Night. Theater Will Remain Open Until Winner is Announced. Delmar's Trained Lions on Big Show Bill. Special Program for After Show Hours. For the first time in the history of St. Louis, arrangements have been made so that the ladies can have the privilege of receiving the election returns in comfort. Mr. Charles Turpin has secured a special wire for Tuesday night and will receive returns as fast as they are tabulated by the Associated Press. These dispatches will not only be announced during the regular shows but will continue long after, until one o'clock or later, in fact, until Mr. Turpin can announce that Hughes has been elected president. After the last show, music, songs and pictures will be intermingled with the returns. This will afford an excellent opportunity for the men to 'bring their wives, mothers, sisters and sweetcarts who are so interested in this important national and state election. Mr. Turpin has also booked a show for next week that is well above the average. The bill will include Delmar and his troup of performing lions. This act was one of last season's biggest sensations. The audience is absolutely in no danger as it watches this daring trainer performing with his remarkable troupe of king beasts. Other high grade acts will round out a big bill and, in addition, moving pictures of the candidates will be shown on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There will be no extra charge for admission Tuesday night. Madam Motin At Dallas, Tex. Dallas, Texas, Special to Argus. Mme. Frances E. Motin, regularly styled the "queen of impersonators," and the founder and president of the Motin School of Expression of St. Louis, Mo., completely captured her audience at Bethel Friday evening October 20, when she presented her class in a classic recital. The master pieces from classic authors were introduced by Mmea. G. L. Boswell, D. B. McMillan and Sarah Fox, Misses Edna E. Ezell, Bessie O. Boswell, A. M. Boswell, Rezolia Grissom and Virginia Stewart. The program will long be remembered by those who were present. Madam Motin proved to her audience that as a teacher of expression she has no peer. She took raw material and after three weeks' training presented them to the public in a recital never before seen in Dallas. Her lecture should have been heard by every teacher in the city. Madam Motin was repeatedly enced, making her last number a poem by Hugo, which she read in French. She is one of our most gifted readers and is capable of instructing the most cultured and refined audience of any race. While in the state she has received many courtesies from the white race. The Dallas Express showed its high appreciation of Mme. Motin's work and ability by presenting her a large bouquet of flowers. LINCOLN INSTITUTE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The St. Louis Branch of the Lincoln Institute Alumni Association has been reorganized along new and more progressive lines, and we are making an effort to fortile you in order that you may keep in touch with your Alma Mater and give her the help and encouragement which only you can give. There will be a meeting Sunday, November 5, 1916, 3:30 p. m., Union Memorial Church, at which time the election of officers for the year will take place. Every member and every graduate in the city is expected to be present—3:30 p. m. Wm. T. Spencer, Secretary. Carpets, rugs and mattresses cleaned by sanitary methods at the Accurate Laundry. HOW INDIANA STOPS LYNCHING Indianapolis, Indiana.—The Washington ton (Indiana) Herald says: "Many years ago the state of Indiana passed a law which operates to remove a sheriff who permits a mob to take a prisoner away from him. The removal is automatic. The burden rests with the sheriff to regain his office by showing that he did his whole duty in defense of his prisoner. Since that time, the year 1899, there has been but one case of lynching in Indiana, in which instance a mob took a prisoner from a Sullivan County sheriff and hanged him. The prisoner was seized as he was being brought into the state from Illinois—and before he was placed in jail. This case happened shortly after the passing of the law, and there has been no lynching since. Before that statute went into effect, the crime of lynching was common in Indiana. There is but one county in southern Indiana, we believe, that has not had one or more successful appeals to lynch law. The exception is this county (Daviss), and there have been some narrow escapes here, and mobs having been frustrated several times by brave and resourceful sheriffs. As a matter of fact, sheriffs frequently, if not usually, either were in sympathy with the purpose of the mobs or were indifferent. But they changed their attitude when the law presented to them the alternative of losing their offices if they fail to protect their prisoners. There is not a jail in Indiana which is not proof against a mob if it is in charge of a brave sheriff who respects his oath of office." Men's Meeting At Pythian Hall Dr. W. F. McMillin, who is to open the series of meetings for men for the Young Men's Christian Association, has announced as his subject, "Which?" Every man is called upon to make a choice. This meeting will be held at Bythian Hall, 3137 Pine St. The musical program promises to be interesting. Over 2,000 men attended the meetings of last year, and it looks like the attendance this year will exceed the attendance of any former years. In the matter of the Building Fund Collections, the management of the Association has announced that the Building Fund total has passed $13,000 and the workers are trying to speed up the collections to the $14,000 mark. The Men's Bible Class under Dr. W. H. Peck, will start Wednesday, night, November 15. The opening will be in the form of a supper. For the winter, the men will study the text called "The Manhood of the Master." This book has had a most extraordinary use. Since it has been published, over 100,000 copies have been sold. This Bible class, it is expected, will be one of the fine features of the Association life this year. K. OF P. GRAND LODGE OFFICERS GIVE COMPLIMENTARY SMOKER. A Complimentary Smoker in honor of the Grand Lodge Officers of the Knights of Pythias of Missouri, was evening at Pythian Temple, Saturday evening October 28th.

Warning To Negro Voters On account of the large registration and anticipated record vote in St. Louis Tuesday, THE ARGUS advises every one to VOTE EARLY AS POSSIBLE. Every colored voter that can do so should go to the poles before 3 p. m. The rush during the closing hours may cause many to be shut out. Pay no attention to the rumored challenges of Negro voters. These are only intended to intimidate you. If you are lawfully registered you have a right to vote and YOU WILL BE PROTECTED. Pass the word along. Vote early and vote the Straight Republican Ticket. Don't Experiment. It has come to my notice that the Police Department, at the request of the Election Commissioners are making a canvas of the colored voters in St. Louis, and it is reported that in some instances colored voters have been intimidated by the police officers making this canvas. It is undoubtedly their purpose to challenge a great many of the colored voters on election day, in order to prevent them from voting their choice, realizing full well that most colored men are Republicans. In this connection let me say that every American Citizen who is properly registered has a right to vote and need not fear any man, and that the Republican City Committee has procured the services of able counsel to protect you in this right. For this purpose a bureau has been opened at 302 Odd Fellows Bldg., telephone Main 873 or Central 6980, where you can procure a bondsman and legal aid, free of cost, on election day in case of trouble arising from any interference with the free and lawful exercise of the right of suffrage. It is also our purpose to vigorously prosecute any police officer or other person who attempts to intimidate or unlawfully interfers in any manner with your right of suffrage. I also advise that you vote early in order to frustrate the plan of delay at the polls, so that we may have a free expression of the will of the people on Election Day. We remain very truly yours.

They are unanimously opposed to Woodrow Wilson. Some say, however, that they will vote for Mike Kinney on account of his loyalty in opposing the segregation ordinances, saying he carried his ward against it. But if there is a Negro in the United States who will even say he will vote for Woodrow Wilson for president, a liberal reward is hereby offered for his capture. DR. BROOKS' TRAVELOGUE At Central Baptist Church Wednesday Evening, November 8. Moving Pictures and Lecture Dr. Brooks will give his famous moving picture and travelogue at the Central Baptist church on Wednesday, Nov. 8, at 8 o'clock.

At the close of the lecture we expect to have a rejoicing time over the election of Mr. Hughes as president of the U. S.

John Schmoll, Chairman PRESIDENT WILSON Has Been Weighed in the Balance and Found Wanting. Negro's Duty to Defeat Him Speaking to a large enthusiastic audience at the Negro Independent Political Club, 3000 Market Street, Fort H. Hayes, who has been an active Republican worker, denounced Wilson and his Democratic friends. Claiming the Democrats to be coopt, who have followed no one policy of their own, except to persecute the Negro, namely by segregating the Negro in the White House, by trying to segregate them in the District of Columbia, by forbidding the appointment of Negroes to commissioned or non commissioned offices in the army or navy, by removing twenty six Negroes from honorable Federal positions and putting white men in their places, thereby depriving the race of $00,000 a year and by attempting to repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. The speaker declared that it is the duty of every Negro to go to the polls and repudiate these acts by casting their votes for Mr. Hughes, who is a noble man of character, a man of ability, a man of honest justice, who says he stands for a protective turf to safeguard the American business man, a labor compensation law to protect the working man; a child's law law to protect the children and a board of arbitrators to protect all the citizens. This is the kind of man we want for president—a man who fearlessly said that he would protect the lives of American citizens on land and sea, at home and abroad, whether native or naturalized or whatever race or creed. The speaker also urged his heiers to vote for Mr. Lamm for governor and W. S. D. Dickey for United States. Senator, also for a Republican Congressman in the district, especially for Mr. L. C. Dyer, who he said, is the best friend the Negro has had in the White House for twenty years. He closed by referring them to what Freddrick Douglas said, "The Republican Party is 'the ship and all else is the year'." And if the Negro doesn't want to drown, he had better get on board the ship.

Insist on Your Grocer Keeping Them. Make This a Practice. The Missouri Association for the blind is doing a very commendable work for the unfortunate blind in our city. A visit to their factory will convince anyone of the good work that how enthusiastic these men are at their work. These men are anxious to work; they are glad to work; their mops and brooms are just as good as any you may see on the market. You can help these men by buying their brooms and mops at your grocery store or phone direct to their factory. They sell wholesale and retail. Insist on having their goods when you are ready to buy your next broom. The more the demand, the more men can be employed. The men receive a salary and are taught the trade. The Colored men have a foreman, Mr. A. B. Jackson, 3037 Pine Street, and while he is blind, he can inspect the mops and detect any defect quicker than a man with two good eyes, who is not trained. Their work is good. Call for their brooms and mops. EDWARDSVILLE, ILL. By E. E. Williams EDWARD HIGBEE AGENTS WANTED BE EAUTIFUL Y-USING THE PARRISHSTYLE TREATMENT NOTICE TO ARGUS READERS Beginning Friday, Dec. 1, the subscription rate of the St. Louis Argus will be $1.50 per year, in advance. All who pay their subscription prior to that time will receive the benefit of the present $1.00 rate which will obtain until their year has expired. All who fail to pay up before Dec. 1 will be dropped from the list. This, however, will not exempt them from paying. All who are in debt to the Argus Publishing Company for papers received will be according to the Federal law, held responsible and expected to settle the amount. The advance in the subscription rate has been necessitated by the high price of paper stock which has more than doubled during the present year. The constant rise in this material has caused much anxiety among publishers throughout the country. Various methods have been tried by the different publishers to meet the emergency. The subscription rate for many has been doubled; others have reduced the number of pages, while hundreds have been suspended. The Argus was the first modern Negro weekly to be offered to the public at $1.00 per year, and it is with reluctance that conditions necessitate an advance from that price. The publishers plan to keep up the high standard this paper has attained and to continue gradually improving its value as a news gatherer and advertising medium. This can only be done by meeting trade conditions. Remember, you can still take advantage of the $1.00 per year in advance rate, by paying your subscription before Dec. 1. We are satisfied our many thousand readers wish to see the Argus grow and that not only will subscriptions be immediately paid in advance of Dec. 1, but all who are in arrears will appreciate their duty and pay up. If one of our collectors does not call in a few days, send your money into the office or phone Bomont 1452, and one will be sent to you. The Democratic party is the party that upheld slavery; the party that tried to assassinate the government; that segregated the Negro, and if given another chance will disfranchise the Negro. President Wilson told the Negroes who supported him four years ago that if they didn't like the way his administration was treating them and thought they had made a mistake in supporting him, they would have a chance to correct their mistake at the election of 1916. Some of the leaders are taking him at his word, and are-out making speeches against him and working for the election of Hughes. Wilson fooled a lot of people into voting for him four years ago, by his smooth talk and false promises. But he can't fool anybody this time. He has deceived everybody and pleased nobody, not even himself, by his false promises and hypocritical pretenses. Senator Jim Reed is the arch enemy of the Negro in the Senate. He is worse than Ben Tillman and Jas K. Carrman. Every Negro voter in the state ought to work and vote to deter him, ignominiously. The Negro voters of Jackson County ought to pile up an avalanche of votes for Walter S. Dickey, the Negro's friend, who will make a United States Senator that every citizen in the state can be proud of. They ought to bury Reed so deep that he will never be resurrected again in politics. Wilson does not expect the Negro vote this time, but if he gets it he will have more contempt for those who vote for him, because he will realize that they have no self respect. No one can respect a man who does not respect himself. A vote for Gardner will be a vote to diminish Judge Lamm's majority. The Negroes who are flirting with local Democrats are indifferent to their own interests and to those of the race. Wilson is not to be trusted. He has deceived his best friends. The people of his own state have turned against him. His closest friend, who nominated him for president in 1912 and in 1916, was defeated in the New Jersey primaries, by a two-thirds vote, for the United State Senate. The Republicans cast six times as many votes in the recent primaries in that state as the Democrats. This means that Wilson will be ignominiously defeated in his own state. In the state campaign for the governorship, Judge Lamm is making Col. Gardner look like an amateur. Lamm is silenced all of Gardner's guns, and the St. Louis coffin maker has nothing left to recommend him, but his generous distribution of campaign funds. Mauns Dickey.

He at one time engaged in the furniture and hardware business. In 1902 he was appointed postmaster of Salem and held the place for 12 years and later became vice-president of the National Bank of Salem. He enjoys a high reputation as an efficient business manager. He was for 16 years a member of the Dent County Republican Committee. JAMES H. MASON Republican Candidate for Attorney General James H. Mason, the Republican candidate for Attorney General, is a native of Greene County. He is 42 years old and a graduate of the law department of Missouri University. He has served as City Attorney of Springfield and was a candidate for attorney general in 1912. GEOBGE E. HACKMANN Republican Candidate for State Auditor George E. Hackmann, the Republican candidate for State Auditor, is a native of Warren County, where he still resides. He was educated in Central Wesleyan College and in Bryant-Stratton Commercial College and was for several years a traveling salesman. I. N.

Harry M. 2715 Frank REAL ESTATE and Good Houses, Flats and Rooms to Phone. Go Harry M. Boeckmann 2715 Franklin Ave. REAL ESTATE and HOUSE AGENT Vote for Wm. D. Becker 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. L. D. THOMPSON Republican Candidate for State Treasurer L. D. Thompson, the Republican candidate for State Treasurer, is a native of Vandalia, Audrian County. He was appointed postmaster of New Bloomfield by President McKinley, and served 17 years. He served 16 years as a member of the Calloway County Republican Committee and was its chairman four years. He was nominated for state treasurer in 1908, when though defeated, ran far ahead of his ticket. JAMES M. JOHNSON Republican Candidate for Supreme Judge, Long Term James M. Johnson, Republican candidate for Supreme Judge, long term, is a native of St. Joseph. He was elected Judge of the Kansas City Court of Appeals in 1904, in a district that was normally Democratic by 17,000 majority. His election was due to his high reputation as a jurist and his personal popularity. He was the first Republican ever elected. He also served as a member of the faculty of the Kansas City School of Law. He also enjoys a high reputation as a lecturer and is everywhere recognized as a man of the highest personal worth.

If Wilson and the Democrats want of Negro progress will be set back for the student's earlier environments were the Geek school of brutalized Negro-haters that not discourages lynching or burning Negroes alive, guilty or not guilty. This is the acme of race antagonisms. Under Princeton University all Negroes were removed from messenger jobs. Under him as president of Negro was not only segregated in the department holding an important position in the government, we do not hesitate in saying, that Wilson, the Negro, and under him, antagonism will be spread in the bone"/if Wilson was bred in Georgia of Virginia. Does Georgia raise? Hell! What does it mean, jim-crowism, lynching, burning men and fraud, whipping, violent intimidation, national facilities and all kinds of civic prosecutions specially raised for Negroes. Cears ago and more Wilson's party in the night every measure for the advancement fought against the "Three great Constitutions, xiv, xv, granting freedom, citizenship and fought against his civic rights and every protection of the law. That was fifty years every day since then, the Democratic party, Negro warfare. It is an old habitual criminal in today with its antecedents all against them, nothing, says nothing that even promises but proscription.

If we against the Negro has been growing deeper, Democrats readily crystalize this feeling in Wilson will deepen that feeling and its form of destruction, overriding law and greatly sweeping our race off its feet. America must cut this Gordian Knot, not untie it, allowing to untoward circumstances and men. Life, liberty and property, due process of happiness are inalienable. Wilson and the not inalienable and we must vote them down issues and place our country again on the prosperity and unity. The Crisis is on. If Wilson and the Democrats win the hand on the dial of Negro progress will be set back for many years. The President's earlier environments were the Georgia Negro lynchers, a school of brutalized Negro-haters that not only tolerates but encourages lynching or burning Negroes alive on mere accusation, guilty or not guilty. Wilson is the acme of race antagonisms. Under him as president of Princeton University all Negroes were removed from even janitor and messenger jobs. Under him as president of the United States the Negro was not only segregated in the departments but every one holding an important position in the government was let out; therefore, we do not hesitate in saying, that Wilson is antagonistic to the Negro, and under him, antagonism will fatten and flourish. "It is bred in the bone"/if Wilson was bred in Georgia or the mountains of Virginia. What does Georgia raise? Hell! What does it breed—disfranchisement, jim-crowism, lynching, burning men alive, mutilating the dead, fraud, whipping, violent intimidation, low wages, low educational facilities and all kinds of civic proscription. This crop is especially raised for Negroes. Fifty years ago and more Wilson's party in the Senate and House fought every measure for the advancement of the Negro. It fought against the "Three great Constitutional Amendments—xiii, xiv, xv, granting freedom, citizenship and suffrage. Democrats fought against his civic rights and every measure giving equal protection of the law. That was fifty years ago and more, but every day since then, the Democratic party has kept up its anti-Negro warfare. It is an old habitual criminal on this question. Even today with its antecedents all against the Negro, that party does nothing, says nothing that even promises anything to the Negro but proscription. This is our crisis so far as human rights are concerned. Wilson's party is a race party, and, if put in power, would fill our statute books with class legislation, just like the laws of Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina. The Democratic party has the Negro on the brain; he is to it what the red rag is to the bull. Should Wilson be elected we will have a harvest of Negro lynching in the south; every legislature controlled by the unalterable and unutterable Democrats will have its calendar piled up with anti-Negro bills, measures to disfranchise, to segregate, to deport, to divest or vitiate property or educational rights and to make the Negro a slave of the state instead of the individul. We insist that we do not overdraw the picture. For fifty years the feeling against the Negro has been growing deeper and blacker and the Democrats readily crystalize this feeling into law. The election of Wilson will deepen that feeling and it will spread like a besom of destruction, overriding law and gospel, it will come nearly sweeping our race off its feet. America must cut this Gordian Knot, not untie it. We must stop kow towing to untoward circumstances and meet this race issue like men. Life, liberty and property, due process of law and pursuit of happiness are inalienable. Wilson and the Democratic party are not inalienable and we must vote them down, wipe out all race issues and place our country again on the steady path of liberty, prosperity and unity. NON-PARTISAN BALLOT COMMITTEE To the Editor of the Argus: We desire to call the attention of your readers to the fact that next Tuesday the people of St. Louis will vote on a charter amendment at the bottom of the regular ballot, changing our system of city elections, so that every big group in the city can be represented in the Board of Alderman. It is only right that the body which makes the laws for all of us should represent all big groups of people in the city instead of one party as at present. We who sign this letter are advocating this change in order to free our city elections from the control of party spoils machines. We believe the people should control their own elections. The charter amendment does this, not only by making the Board of Aldermen represent each big group in the city according to the number of votes each group gets in the election.

Gymnasium, Garrison and Lucas Ave., from December 4 to December 9, inclusive. An invitation is extended to all volunteer bodies to give us their liberal support for this occasion. Mrs. Elmira Napier, Chairman; Mrs. Ollie Walton, Secretary. "A bold attempt to disfranchise Negro voters, in the north, as well as in the South, is the latest scheme of the Wilson campaign managers. It is a plain game of intimidation, and it shows the lengths to which the Democratic managers are willing to go in this campaign. The confidence they have displayed in planning and executing some of their schemes—without interference from Democratic district attorneys—is paralleled only by the confidence with which city crooks go about their business under the sure protection of corrupt police." The above statement was issued by William R. Willecox, chairman of the Republican National Committee. The statement continues as follows: Staunch Republicans The Negroes' Friends THE PEOPLE'S TRUE FRIEND M. B. 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 map of broad mind, capable, and a conscientious 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. Gso. P. Weinbrenner For Sheriff The office of sheriff is an important office for a city like St. Louis. In selecting a man to fill that office, great --- ```markdown ``` HON. CHAUNCY J. KRUEGER For Judge of Criminal Court The ballot is a mighty power. It should be used where it will do the most good to the greatest number. It should not be used to put in office a man who caters to a special privilege class. A judge. of the court of criminal correction should be a fair and just man. PETER H. M. PETER H. FRANK M, SLATER Public Administrator When a man has been eiected to an office by the suffrage of the people, it is for that man to make good before the people will honor him further. As a public official, Hon. Frank M. Slater who is a candidate for public administrator has done his duty well. He is well thought of by the Negroes who know him. He is known as "The Seventeenth Ward Benefactor." Mr. Slater has filled every place that he has been given by the votes of the people with credit not to himself alone, but to his constituency. He has gone to the front for the men in the ward when called upon; and he is asking for the office of Public Administrator on his record. He has made good. Vote for him. care should be exercised on the part of the voter. Mr. Weinbrenner, who is a candidate for sheriff; was for many years city marshall during which time he was always fair and just having appointed Negroes deputies under him. Mr. Weinbrenner is too well known to the Negroes of this city for any lengthy comment. For as most of you know, that the Police Courts today, no doubt, would have the Jim Crow signs in them, had it not been for Mr. Weinbrenner, who when Judge Carl Kimmell, Police Judge, ordered such signs to be put up in his court, that big hearted man, George Weinbrenner, ordered them down and gave the Judge a good "calling down" saying that "a man is a man for all that." He will do the right things if elected. Chauncey J. Krenger is the man for the place. He is well known by the Colored people of this city, having served four years as justice of the peace of the fourth district, during which time he tried thousands of cases, few of which ever met any criticism or appeals. He was fair and just to all men. He will be the same as judge of the Court of Criminal Correction. Vote for him. REPUBLICAN TICKET For President of the United States CHARLES E.

The depth of our sorrow no one can tell, in the loss of dear Sophia we love so well; And while she sleeps in peaceful sleep, Her memory we shall always keep.

THINKS SPIRIT OF '76 AS SUPINE AS IN '16 Wilson's "Chocolate Soldier" Secretary of War Excites Nation's Disgust by Declaring Washington's Army Was as Bad a Lot as Villa's Bandit Band. SPOLIATION OF NUNS AND CHURCHES THUS CONDONED "In Their Ragged Regimentals Stood the Old Continentalals, Yielding Not," and This Is the Reason Baker Sneers at Real Patriots Because He Basks in "an Environment That Glories in Yielding Every American Right—Also Takes a Filing at Civil War Heroes, Saying They Committed the Same Crimes of Which Mexican Outlaws Are Now Gullity. The defense which Secretary of Wag Newton D. Baker offered for Mr. Wilson's Mexican policies found quick response from patriotic Americans—but hardly the response Mr. Baker could have wished for. In a speech in Jersey City, the Secretary likened the Mexican revolutionists to the Continentalists who fought with Washington. He admitted the Mexicans were a rascally fat, but said their actions were those of all rebels. The patriots of the American Revolution looted churches and drove ministers from them on their famous march to Valley Forge, he added. Protest have come from far and near. The Empire State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution met and adopted a resolution condemning "in the strongest terms the unpatriotic language of the Secretary of War." Members of the society were outspoken in their denunciation. Some declared that unless his remarks were repudiated at once by President Wilson a movement should be started to force the Secretary's resignation. The Empire State Society meeting was in the Waldorf-Astoria. In the chair was Louis Annin Ames, president of the society, a Democrat, a stanch support of the Administration and a close friend of Secretary Baker. He was asked if he had any personal comment to make on the action of the head of the War Department. "It is all told in the resolution," said Mr. Ames. "The resolution was passed unanimously, so it embodies my views." The resolution follows. "Whereas, it is reported in The New York Tribune this morning that Secretary of War Baker, at a public meeting held in Jersey City last night, used the following language reflecting upon the character of the members of Washington's army at Valley Forge, and likened them to the present Mexican revolutionists: "I know that the Mexicans do not respect American life and property," sald Mr. Baker. "I know that they do not pay their debts, that they are ragnamuffins, that they desecrate Church property, that their money is no good and that they are generally worthless. But people never respect those things in revolutions. We did not respect them in our Civil War. Washington's soldiers in the march to Valley Forge stole everything they could lay their hands on; took the silver vessels out of the churches and sold them to buy drink. They drove ministers out of the churches. Their money was worthless and they were just as bad characters as the Mexicans." "Resolved. That we,' the descendants of the patriots of the Revolution, condemn in strongest terms the unpatriotic language of the Secretary of War, and direct that a copy of the constitution and constitution be most Kansas City Superior Cigar Store 2339 Market Street Imported and Domestic Cigars Pool and Billiard Parlor Griffin Foster, Prepristor Phone: Brmont 1535 Wm.

BECAUSE he made possible Villa, murderer of men and despoiler of women, and Carranza, the fatuous and futile "First Chief."

BECAUSE he lifted the embargo of arms so that the Mexican desperdoes have used American ammunition to murder American soldiers and civilians. BECAUSE the promised "pitiless publicity" has been replaced by private, special, secret negotiations by personal agents and representatives, appointed by President Wilson without "the advice and consent of the Senate." BECAUSE he reverses himself so rapidly that the entire country is seasick from the motion. BECAUSE if the Payne-Aldrich law had been in operation in the last nine months of 1915 we would have collected $91,656,161 more than we did under the Underwood law. It would have met the treasury deficits and have avoided war taxes. The foreigner selling in our market got the entire benefit of the $91,656,161. BECAUSE during the first ten months of the Wilson-Underwood law there were more unemployed being fed by charity than during any ten months in our history, excepting under the Wilson-Gorman act. BECAUSE of his inconsistency on the immigration bill. In his "History of the American People," vol. 5, p 213, he wrote: "The Chinese were more to be desired as workmen, if not as citizens, than most of the coarse crew that came crowding in every year at the Eastern ports." BECAUSE, although posing as an advocate of civil service, every act of his as President in connection with civil service has been adverse to its principles, obstructive and destructive of its bonafide practice.

MEMORIES ARE CALLING ME This song is said to be written and composed, commemorating the thought that was in the mind of Dr. Booker T. Washington when he was stricken while in New York. The memories of the Southland, his home, seemed to be calling him. This song is written by Mrs. Frances Shaw, and set to music by Mr. Eugene Alexander Burke. A large beautiful picture of Dr. Washington covers the title page. A copy may be bad by addressing Burke and Arbuckle Co., 15 Court Square, Boston Mass. Price, 25 cents. The Stringbeans-Benbow Musical Comedy Review, in their second week at the Booker Washington Theater, are presenting an oilio of specialities that contains several very commendable numbers. The arrangement seems turned around, however, because the opening is far stronger than the finale. The former is a medley of popular choruses, elosing with Ed. Peat in aerobic eccentric dancing. The ending is a comedy entitled "The Dog Town 400 Ball," which is full of comedy but should close with a musical number by the company. One of the bright spots is "Daddy," sung by Baby Benbow and a male quartette. This is a real gem. Stringbeans and Benbow in a little skit, with Beans impersonating an absurd-female character, are a big scream especially in their burlesque on "The Dance Called Walking the Dog." Miss Hudson does well singing "Great Big Baby Smile," and Ed. Peat holds the stage for a while, to advantage, in songs and monologue. The closing piece offers a chance for each member of the company to display flashes of talent that is entertaining, especially the male trio and Baby Benbow in character dancing. The show is the best this company has offered Booker Washington Theater patrons. NEXT WEEK AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATRE Beginning Monday, Nov. 7.

SUMNER WINS FROM LINCOLN The Summer High football eleven won last Saturday's game from Lincoln High in East St. Louis, score 6 to 10. The failure of Summer's ends to follow instructions permitted Lincoln to show well in blocking. The general work of the St. Louis squad did not compare favorably with last year's eleven but this can be attributed to the new material which will improve during the month. G. Tankins and Corneal guards, played an almost flawless game and Yaeger, at center, not only passed perfectly but made repeated gains through Lincoln's line. The High School boys will line up against the Alumni in a practice game at Kulage's Park, Saturday, at 2:30. The graduates will show such stars as C. Bailey, A. Green, J. Young, W. Peterson, J. Lyle Caston, V. Williams, Staten and E. Hutchinson. The Summer eleven will line up as follows: Yaeger, center; G. Tankins and Corneal, guards; Spears and Lancaster, tackles; Moss and C. Williams, ends; Bobo, quarter-back; J. or H. Williams, full back; Dickerson, right half; A. Tankins, left half. BOGG'S CAFE 2901 LAWTON AVE.

Evans, Noted Evan gelist, to hold Revival Services at St. James A. M. E. Church, beginning Sun- day, Nov. 5th. Pianos This gifted young woman is a graduate of Wilberforce University, and is the most wonderful exponent of the Scriptures now in the evangelistic field. She has a magnetic personality and is a sweet singer. Do not fail to attend the meetings. Miss Evans will be assisted by a choir of thirty voices. A large congregation filled the auditorium, Sunday morning to welcome the return of Dr. W. H. Peck as pastor. The Dr. is looking well after his trip to conference. His report which was more than $1,000 over the previous year and showed $10 increase in dollar money was one of the best in the history of the church. The pastor is full of enthusiasm and we expect to accomplish great things this year. Don't forget the meetings beginning Nov. 5th. Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., LL. D., pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Nashville, Tenn. will conduct the revival at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 2625 Morgan St., beginning Wednesday, Nov. 8th, 1916. The public is invited to hear one of the leading pastoral evangelists of America. Dr. Clark has conducted successful revivals in the leading cities of the country. Come and hear him, he is also chairman of the National Baptist Publishing Board that prints the Sunday-school literature for the Negro Baptists of America. He will answer any questions on that subject. Rev. William H. Harris pastor, Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 2625 Morgan St. MT. ZION BAPIST CHURCH Rev. J. D. Herben will preach Sunday at both services. Dr. Herben has been away for three weeks conducting evangelistic meetings in Chicago. Last Sunday was a great day in that meeting and among the many converted, was a policeman. You should come out to hear Dr. Herben at Mt. Zion, Sunday. If you wish to be in the social swim, buy a reserved seat for the White-Burgess recital, November 15 at Y. W. C. A., immediately. This is to let my friends know that I am no longer connected with the Acme Laundry Company, but am still in the insurance business, and will appreciate a continuance of their patronage. Signed, E. Hawkins. "Lest we forget, remember yet:" There are no "Jim-Crow" laws on the statute books of any Republican state. All of the "Jim-Crow" states are Democratic states. "Lest we forget, remember yet:" The Negro vote is the balance of power in Missouri, and every Negro should rally to the Republican ticket this year and aid in returning the Republican party to power in the state and in the nation. "Lest we forget, remember yet:" President Wilson fooled thousands of people into voting for him four years ago by false promises, but he can't fool anybody this time. He has deceived everybody and pleased nobody by his hypocritical pretenses. "Lest we forget, remember yet;" The South is in the saddle at Washington, to undo the work accomplished by the Civil War, and if you aid in putting them back, you will be untrue to yourself and betray your friends, from whom you can expect nothing in the future. "Lest we forget, remember yet;" The Republican party is the ship of state. The Democratic party is the sea. Democrats would destroy your rights. Republicans made you free. "Lest we forget, remember yet;" The Republican party gave you the ballot, and has helped you to improve your condition for fifty years. The Democratic party has disfranchised you in eleven states, and for fifty years has Jim-Crowed you, lynched you and burned you at the stake. "Lest we forget, remember yet:" Senator Jim Reed is the arch enemy of the Negro race in the United States Senate, and ought to be defeated, by electing Walter S. Dickey to fill his place. Mr. Dickey will be a credit to the state of Missouri in the United States Senate and will not assault the rights of any group of citizens of the states, but will represent every citizen of Missouri honorably and creditably. "Lest we forget, remember yet:" The Democratic party seeks to disfranchise you at this election, by intimidating you at the polls. Be fearless in the discharge of the highest duty of an American citizen! Stand up for your rights. No citizen of the United States can afford to be a coward. Don't be too proud to fight for your rights. ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. S. E. Moore, of Cleveland, Ohio, has recently opened an office with Dr. S. L. Walthall, at the S. E. corner of 23d and Wash Sta.

Go to Prof. Lucky's academy and see the 1917 movements. "YOU TELL IT" OR "Jitney Bus Joy" THE 1917 DANCE CRAZE By Frank Hendon On Sale At CHAR. H. WATKINS PIANO STORE 1900 London "SONG HIT." PROF. W.
