The Appeal

A PLEA TO FIRST VOTERS Some Reasons Why They Should Vote Solidly for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. ADVICE BY JOHN HAY AND HENRY CLEWS Something of the Policies of the Two Parties and Reasons Why No Truly Patriotic Young Man Can Afford to Vote for Parker and Davis. VOL. 20. NO. 43 A PLEA TO I Some Reasons Why They Roosevelt an ADVICE BY JOHN HA Something of the Poli ` and Reasons Why Young Man Ca for Parker As in the days of Rome, the American Republic to-day finds its young manhood its most valuable asset. It is quite natural for both of the great political parties to make a maximum effort to influence the first president of the Republic. The young man is now one of the most important and most sought individuals in the Republic. It is not beyond the range of probability that these first voters may hold the balance of power and actually decide the coming election. They are always easy to reckon the strength of this vote accurately, hence it offers a fertile field for speculation. The United States census of, 1900 gives the total male population of the United States in 1900 between the ages of 17 and 20, inclusive, as, 2,953,801. In other words, in round numbers, we can be at that age at that time, are all now eligible to cast their first vote for President. In addition, many thousand young men as immigrants have become citizens of the United States since that time. Of course a number have also died. It may not be very far wrong to conclude that the young men and three and a half million first voters now in the United States. Of course, there is no accurate way of knowing just how these votes are proated to the different States. It is doubtless true that the safely Democratic States and the safely Republican States have something in common of course, the votes in the electoral college would not be influenced either way, but how about the effect of the first voters in the doubtful States? Past experience shows that in these States an increased suffrage in favor of one party or the other from 1 to 4 per cent, may change the vote in a stark defeat or victory for either party. It is this first vote in doubtful States that is of supreme importance. How will it be cast? For Democracy, negation—a policy destructive of all that is progressive, or shall it be for Republicanism, the great constructive business league in America known as the Republican party? Situation and Young Man's Duty. If it should so happen that two families of distinction should seem to lay equal claim to any young man, and if it should not, the man should which one he might cast his lot with, he would naturally look into the history of both families intelligently, diligently and thoroughly. His pride and self-interest would compel him to cast his lot with the one that showed the man the best personal and national pride, the best ability for doing things that ought to be done, calculated to be mankind; and above all, the one that looked to the future with hope and aspiration with a view of meeting the present day and complete as they might arise. It is the duty of every young American to perform this duty thoroughly in connection with the two great political issues of the present day: the issue of the present campaign. He will find the work not only instructive, but if he investigates the records thoroughly, there cannot be a shadow of a doubt in his mind, after he has finished the work. He must have a dutyuly may lie. He should divest himself of hereditary bias and inclinations, he should attempt to lift himself out of his immediate or present surroundings and be able to face the noise, from social or family ties and investigate the thing for himself. Parting of the Ways. This duty is one of the weightiest that the generations of progress and the blood of this ancestors have made incumbent upon him. If he enters upon it wrongly, he not only stifles this own usefulness, but also limits part of his own life, but he fails most miserably to measure up to one of the highest opportunities ever vouchsafed to mankind. It is now too late in this progressive age to allow personal preference or any inclination of our ancestors or immediate forefathers to influence us in a work which will affect the future of mankind. In the case of virile and mankind. In the case of afflicted and a hundred million people. In these not cause for pause? Then as Americans, as the inheritors of all that is glorious and grand in the history of the greatest Republic on earth, what can a young man find in the Democracy of his country to pride in his patriotism, his sense of duty or his idea of intelligent citizenship? All any one and conservatively-minded young man has to do is to simply commit to the last half century. What does he find? He finds that at every turn one has been progressive, constructive, patriotic; working for the general interests and welfare of humanity. The other been progressive, negation, predicting wreck and ruin of the government; standing uniformly and perpetually as an obstacle and obstruction to all measures calculated for the general good. Party of Action. Some of the members of the Republican party may well be contrasted with the admirie acts and obstruction tactics of the party of slavery, State rights, accession, anti-expansion, free trade and free silver. From the immortal and illustrious Roosevelt there is nothing but the unstoried achievements of the Republican --- party. First and foremost among those many victories will forever stand that victory for which the immortal Lincoln gave his life, the abolition of slavery, the end of slavery, the stain forever from the stars and stripes. The Republican party saved the Union and gave freedom to four millions of people. For all time the victory of the abolition of slavery stands to the credit of the Republican party. The thirty-seven years later, the cry of the oppression went up from fair Cuba; her people had been ground into the dust for four centuries by Spanish greed and oppression. Another Republican President, another American martyr, came to the rescue of the Queen of the Antilles, and William McKinley freed Cuba and started her on her illustrious First Rate Diplomats. Pace hate her victories no less renowned than war. Scarcely a generation ago a Republican Secretary of State, with far-sight vision common to Republican statesmen, saw that the most despotic power in the world—Russia—by far was the Republican party. Be a menace to our Pacific State. Alaska was purchased by Secretary of State Seward and the Republican party; and instead of being a menace it now stands as a sentimental guarding American interests in the Northern Pacific and the Arctic. For all time the victory of peacefully accusing the credit to the credit of the Republican party. For more than a half century past the American people have demanded a canal to connect the waters of the Atlantic with the waters of the Pacific, the great river that separates the two oceans, vicious to be dwelt upon. The advantages to the United States in time of war will be immeasurable. Of its feasibility there is no question. Of its early construction, it was the recent day when the Republican party, at the hands of the Republican President, gave to our nation the American Panama canal. For all time the victory of the Panama canal will stand to the right of the victory of the Americans we acquired the Philippines and Porto Rico we found school privileges practically non-existent. Only six years have passed, and to-day over three hundred thousand expatriates and Porto Rican students are studying the songs of freedom in the Anglo-American language. For all time the victory of inaugurating the public school system under which these children are being fitted for eventual American citizenship to the credit of the Republican party. Builds for the Future. Another Republican Secretary of State saw that American trade in China was a necessity, and by a series of clever maneuvers, he opened commercial open door in China. For all time the victory of the open-door policy will stand to the credit of John Hay and the Republican party. But the immortal Lincoln was first elected President in 1820, had 123,000 factories, with 1,000,000 workers. At the present day, under the protective tariff of the Republican party, we have over 600,000 factories, with about 8,000,000 workers. For all time this industrial victory will be to the credit of the Republican party. A FINANCIER'S ADVICE Henry Clews, the well-known New York banker, was asked by two young men who are to cast their first vote for President this election, which is the safer candidate to vote for, President Roosevelt or Judge Parker. Some conspiracy theorists claim that Clews's answer are herewith submitted: "Your question to me was my own question to myself. I approached it as a business man, without prejudice. I sought to shut out every other consideration but one of safety—the surer safety. I asked the question as to the personal manners of the two candidates, the superficial gibles and nagings of the newspapers—all these I swept aside just as you are trying to do, so sticking to this all-important question of where is the surer safety. I found which seemed the fully indispensable facts which seemed the fully sufficient to answer it. Harmonious Party of Statesmen. Harmonious Party or Statemen. "Roosevelt and his party are of the same mind, but Parker and his party are of many contradictory minds. The Republican party never has had factions within itself concerning issues. It has been unanimous in knowing what it stood for. The Democratic party has never agreed upon anything, but abounds in schisms, factions and cliques. They are not united to-day, and have not been united since the civil war. In 1864 their convention declared, in its platform, that 'The war is a failure,' but their nominee, Gen. McClellan, repudiated that loyal creed just as Judge Parker had to send to the discordant, temporizing Democratic convention at St. Louis his famous gold telegram. Mr. Parker voted for Mr. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, although he did not like Bryan, and says now that he did not believe in free silver. In 1900 the gold Democrats swung back into line behind Bryan and free silver. Like Hill, they said, 'I am a Democrat,' and that was enough. They did not agree with the issue, but said, 'Never mind the fescue; we are Democrats, and we stick to our party.' That answer strikes an unprejudiced observer as against common sense, and unpatriotic. Judge Parker and the million other Democrats now admit that the triumph of the silver issue HOT AIR Reproduced from the Minneapolis Journal. BACK IN THE POLITICAL GAME. THE DEMOCRATIC FACSILTY—"Of course, Bryan will never make up his back studies, but he's too handy with the ball to lose from the team." would have been a blow to the prosperity of this country such as we never had before. Yet they voted against their convictions, for that awful danger, just because they always been enough for a Democrat to say, "I am a Democrat; never mind the issue." after years I think you will be better satisfied with such a vote." APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN. I want to say a word to the young men whose political life is beginning: Any entering business would be MR. DAVIS' FIGURES. A Few Samples Showing Their Amazing Inaccuracy. Assurance, without pronounced smile, marks the acceptance letter of Hua Cao, the deputy governor can Gold Standard; Wise Tariff. "You can be sure that Roosevelt and his party will treat the tariff wisely. How Parker and his party will treat the tariff nobody knows, but we all fear. With Roosevelt not being a Democrat, but with Parker and his party we can only hope for its permanence. The Democrats will vote for Gold Parker for the same reason they voted for Silver Bryan, just because they are Democrats, but the Silver Democrats repudiate Parker's gold credit. The Democrats telegraphed that he believed the gold standard to be irrevocably fixed. It is so irrevocably fixed, providing the Republican party remains in power, but not irrevocably fixed if the Democrats come into power. What could Parker do with his wild herd? He would balance the demand for them to stampee? Safety with Roosevelt. "We know that Roosevelt and his party will deal with the trusts seriously and vigorously, as in the past, but how Parker and his party will deal with the trusts no one knows. Roosevelt stands clearly in favor of the Northern Securities was violating the anti-trust law, he instantly ordered the most stringent investigation, and the Supreme Court decided that the law had been violated, and ordered a dissolution. We can be sure that Roosevelt will keep on in that same vigorous attitude towards the enforcement of the law." On the other hand, Parker has been very timid and tame in speaking of the trusts in his speech of acceptance. Back of that strange caution in Parker's utterances is the well-known alliance of some of the biggest trust systems to secure his election. It is absolutely impossible to predict what treatment he will give them, but it is clear that enforcement to enforce the laws against them. "Our foreign policy is safe with Rosevelt and John Hay, but Parker and his party are likely to plunge into the unknown, with paths that lead to nowhere in particular. If Parker were elected, he would have been Hillary Clinton's president of New York, would doubtless occupy the position now so ably filled by Secretary of State Hate. "Rosevelt and his party have always been constitutional. Parker and his party make 'constitutionalism' a mask for a lack of aggressiveness and an excuse for failure to meet public questions in an intelligent, aggressive manner. Rosevelt has never come near overriding the Constitution, and he has ever done violence to the Constitution he would have to meet the charges of impeachment. But not once has the wildest Democrat in Congress even suggested that Rosevelt was open to impeachment. When a strong man performs a great duty he does it in a prompt and decisive manner. When a strong man pleads a cruel cry, "Behold a giant who will trample us." Open, Honest, Frank. "As for honesty, no living man can charge Roosevelt with deceitfulness, and nobody fails to know what he is driving when he is driving, a longer time to show himself open, and aboveboard. For not his nomination, he was famous for not opening his mouth on gold. Nobody knew anything of his attitude except that he had twice voted for Roosevelt, a cause of that golden silence. After half of the convention had gone home he sent his famous telegram. "In view of all these things," says Mr. Clews, "I think it pretty clear that it was Roosevelt and the Republican nominee for Congress than to vote for Parker and his Congressional nominee. In after years I think you will be better satisfied with such a vote." APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN. "We are young men whose political life is beginning." whose political life is beginning: Anyone entering business would be glad of the chance to become one of an established firm with years of success business. Everything great done by this country in the last fifty years has been done under the auspices of the Republican party. Is not this a priceless asset? Lincoln and Grant, Hayes and Garfield, and the security in the heaven of fear—they are all gone, leaving small estates in worldly goods, but what vast possessions in principles, memories, sacraments associations! It is a start in life to share that wealth. In our form of government there must be a party, but what young man would not rather belong to the party that does things, instead of one that opposes them; to the party that looks up, rather than down; to the party of the dawn, rather, than of the sunset? In fifty years the Republican party has believed in the country and labored for it in hope and joy; Has reverenced the flag and followed it; Has carried it under strange skips and planted it on far-reaching horizons; Has created every year, and more respected: Has seen the country extend its intercourse and its influence to regions unknown to our fathers; has seen the one jot or title of the ancient law imposed on us by God-fearing ancestors. The Constitution of our fathers has been the light to our feet. Our path is, and will ever remain that of ordered progress, of liberty under the law. But we are not daunted by progress. We are not afraid of the light! The fabric our fathers built will stand all shocks of fate or fortune. While there will always be a proud pleasure in looking back on the history they have made, the coming generation has the right to anticipate work not less important. We who are passing off the stage bid you, as the children of Israel encamping by the sea were bidden, to go forward. We whose hands can no longer hold the fanning touch pass to you, that you may show the truth to the ages that are to come. The Last Hope for Parker. Eastern Democrats, who, a few weeks since, could not find words strong enough with which to express their reproduction and scorn of Mr. Bryan, are now looking as their last hope, to carry Indiana. The compliant Nebraskan has stripped off his coat and plunged in the voice laid out for him. But the voice of the Nebraskans is longer. In insincerity kills the most mighty effort. No man can win votes under the circumstances surrounding Bryan at this time. It must be a bitter pill for Mr. Bryan to resist trying to Bryan to save a pivotal State to the dying Democracy, and it cannot be a very congenial task to Bryan, the effort he is making under the party whisples. In blowing off the mask, he must stop. In from giving a solid Republican majority on election day. Indiana is not going to join the chair of calamity howlers, republicanists, idlers and anti-everythings. Do the people of to-day like the policies of Lincoln and McKinley—the working out of which effected the saving of the Union with Mr. Lincoln and the making it prosperous? Mr. McKinley has run the government along their policy lines in domestic and foreign affairs. The only signs of dissatisfaction come from the Democrats; and their cries are political capital—partisan faultfindings. MR. DAVIS' FIGURES. A Few Samples Showing Their Amazing Inaccuracy. Assurance, without pronounced guile, marks the acceptance letter of Hon. Henry G. Davis, the octogenarian candidate of the Democrats for the Vice President, on political conditions as if they were original with him, as if he were not a human phonograph with a single cylinder that has caught the echo of Judge Parker's echo of the Democratic stunt of oratory. "The times are propitions for the reinstatement of the Democratic party in control of the government" is the phrase used by his biographical semion. The November ballots will be all "amens" to that. Who but the Democrats will agree with him? "When the present administration went into power there was a large surplus," he declares. He imagined that. The Republicans came into power in the 1980s and were not able to administration? If so, and he means surplus of revenue over ordinary expenditures, he is in error. Mr. Cleveland's closing year of his last term showed EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES OVER REVENUE to the state, and 2,025,144 for the wrong way. The statistics were easily obtainable; why should Mr. Davis make such a misstatement? If he meant Mr. Roosevelt's term, beginning in 1900 with Mr. McKinley, there was an excess in that year of revenue over expenditure he faced in a wrong again. In extension it may be said that the Democrats never were good nor correct figures. As, for instance, again, when he asserts that the revenues for the last fiscal year were over $40,000,000 short of the expenditure, not having authenticated the guessing, not having authenticated the 1903 the excess of revenue over expenditures was over $2,000,000. The absurdity of Mr. Davis' computations and comparisons could not be more forcibly shown than when he quotes statistics to show the cost of running the government from 1857 to 1860, when the population was 31,218,021, and put it, as an evidence of his party's economy, in contrast with our 80,000,000 population of to-day, into the estimate of the latter dumping pension accounts. Panama was 31,218,021, and by vast public improvements created and carried on solely for the benefit of the people. The age of Mr. Davis precludes his compiling such figures himself; but his anxiety for his party's success, leads him to issue them without the common consent of the public. Using his judgment as to their application to the matter he is discussing. No one should be deceived by the figures which a Democrat offers him; for in about nine cases out of ten they will be, like counterfeit money, made to deceive. The Two Randa. The band at Washington, D. C. In cadences that sweep and swing And wake the welkin merrily, "Hail to the Chief" is practicing. It practices on "Home, Sweet Home." "To uproot and destroy that [tariff] system would be to insure the prestation of business, the closing of factories, the impoverishment of the farmer, the impoverishment of the wage-worker,"—Roosevelt's letter of acceptance. The Cincinnati Enquirer says: "Judge Alton B. Parker wear well." So does an evening dress suit that is donned by a judge. The judge be induced to make a few speeches he would be frayed into rags before Nov. 8. A machine of any kind that is as silent as Judge Parker should never wear out. 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans 6-It asks no support to the people's THE "DUMPING" POLICY. It Prevents Depression and Keeps Our Workingmen Employed. Democratic writers and speakers frequently try to make political capital by claiming that the protective tariff is responsible for the fact that our exporters in some cases sell their merchandise at less than prices, charged in the home market. It is the very pool of success in all commercial ventures to hold what you have and gain what you can, and this is the same in all-highly advanced commercial nations, including England. The American manufacturer has produced more goods than he can dispose of in the home market, without disastrously affecting prices, it is always good business policy for him to try to get rid of his surplus bread athwart the market. He is indiscretely the number of men he employ and the wages he pays them. This "dumping" policy, as the Democrats call it, has again and again served depression in our home markets and has been the outfit to American workingmen. It is infinitely better that the foreigner should occasionally get goods cheaper than they can be bought at home, rather than not have such surplus sales at all, and America is not the only American workingman into serious loss in wages. How British manufacturers pursue this dumping policy just the same as American manufacturers will do when the necessity arises, is shown in recent consular reports. (See circular No. 2007, Department of Commerce and Labor.) Samuel M. Taylor, U. S. Consul at Glasgow, Scotland, says: Manufactured steel for export is sold for 5 to 10 per cent less than for domestic use, and even at a greater reduction. In other words, the cost of transportation to foreigners is less than that of domestic products. In the largely assumed by the British exporter or manufacturer by means of this reduction. Even England is treated as foreign by the Scotch manufacturer and gets reductions accordingly. The Scotch manufacturer neither expects nor receives the same profit of export, except for the cost of transport, but obtains at home. In Scotland a combination of prices exists which fixes the prices of steel plate for the whole of Scotland, and gives the members of the combination power to sell in other districts than Scotland, at whatever prices they choose. I may mention in this connection that an American sewing machine company, which, in addition to having large works in the United States, has works in Scotland sufficient to supply the European trade, makes British consumers pay more for machines manufactured in Great Britain than American consumers pay for those manufactured in the United States. Rufus Fleming, U. S. Consul at Edinburgh, Scotland, says: It is the policy of British manufacturers to maintain prices in the home market at the highest possible level and to make whatever concessions may be necessary in foreign markets. At all times, even when general trade conditions at home and abroad are excellent, it is the rule, in British industry, to quote lower prices to foreign buyers than to the average domestic trader. The difference in favor of the foreigner or exporter mitigates from 4 to 6 per cent. I have seen invoices of a British firm of steel wire manufacturers to German buyers in which the prices were fully 20% per cent less than the prices quoted to home customers. This reduction was not due to an extraordinary surplus, but principally to a determination to put a certain line of goods into competitive markets. In most trades the one fixed purpose is not to reduce prices to British customers until forced to do so. A prominent brewer, an ex-member of Parliament, said: I have been dumping ale and beer on foreign markets all my life, whenever I have had a surplus. Practically every manufacturer in this country sells his goods abroad for the best price they will bring, when his stock is too heavy to be unloaded at home in a reasonable time, without breaking the market. James Boyle, U. S. Consul at Liverpool, England, says: The most interesting instance of dumping in this Consular district of which I have knowledge was that of Brunner, Mond & Co., chemical manufacturers of Northwich, Cheshire. The products involved were so ash and bicarbonate of soda. It was a dis-fictive policy of this firm to sell their products on the American market at a rate which not only undercut the American product, but was less than the price in English markets. This went on for some time until the firm effected an arrangement with parties, both American and foreign, interested in the sale of chemicals in the United States, and then, as I am informed, became part owners in chemical factories in Syracuse, N. Y., and in Michigan. I believe it is true, even now, that occasionally certain chemicals, and particularly bicarbonate of soda, produced in this neighborhood, are sold cheaper in the United States than in this market. I am informed that certain other manufacturers, like the well-known firm of Nettlefolds (Limited) of Birmingham, which makes from and brass and wooden screws, often sell abroad cheaper than at home. H. Clay Evans, Consult General at London, England says: "I find that manufacturers here endeavor to maintain home made products in the market, they will bid for it get it if they can without too great a loss, and thus increase the demand for their output and reduce the cost of production, without demoralizing home made." SHAMEFUL CARTOONS. Repreach and Ridicule for the Soldier and His Uniform. The campaign caricaturists of President Ronald Reagan are in training enough interest to bring out the question: Is it disgraceful to fight for one's country? It is amazing to see the uniform of a soldier of the United States army pictured in such a manner as to imply a warrior. It was once thought to be an honorable thing for a man to resign position, ease, family, independence, friends and home, and become a fighting machine to help uphold the honor and the word of There seems to have grown up a different view of this matter. The earnest sacrifice of an American soldier is held some to such an extent that an American can be an amuse contempt a vulgar suckers in the crowd. The devoted soldier facing death for his country is, with those nameless miscreants, a sight to be guffawed over, something to be distorted into a laugh-ridden earton. It is a glorious sight of the yellow press the stainless sword of Washington is but a clown's hamble. To them the stern devotion of a soldier's experience is a farcal episode in a man's career, something to be distorted into a thing to be once it was written: "It is sweet and plious to die for my country." The yellow rendering is: "THE OUTSIDE AND REDICULOUS TO FIGHT FOR ONE'S COUNTRY." Such creatures would write in their books, if they ever wrote books. "It is grotesque and ridiculous to die for one's country." The yellow rendering is: $2.40 PER YEAR. BOOMERANG FIGURES. DANGEROUS MATERIAL IN THE HANDS OF THE DEMOCRATS. Comparisons Showing How that Party Increased Government Expenditures More than 51 Per Cent, in a Twelve-Year Period. The Democratic campaign writers and speakers are muking use of highly dangerous material when they use figures to depict the cost of expenditures under Republican administration. Alton B. Parker said to the Democratic editors at Rosemount: During Mr. Cleveland's first term the average expenditure was $200,000. For the last three years it has been about $320,000. The government spent $200,000, which is not equated by any year she the civil war, with the exception of Why did Mr. Parker use the figures merely of Cleveland's first term? Why did he not make use of the figures for President Cleveland's second term? Why did the commission it would have been shown that expenditures gained with the same proportional rapidity in Democratic times as in Republican times—and in some directions, like interest on the public debt, they gained more than the public debt, the legal term, is "estopped" from criticism of Republican increase in expenditures when the figures comparing Democratic expenditures, twelve years apart, show that the Democrats, just like the Republicans, were forced to the rapid expenditures with increased expenditures for the government. The total expenditures of President Cleveland's last fiscal year, 1897, were $853,774,139 and as against $242,483,139 of those his first year as President, 1880 were $102,651,51 per cent. in the twelve-year period. The total expenditures for the four years of Cleveland's first administration, 1886 to 1889, were $1,052,055,894. The total expenditures during Cleveland's fourth year, 1883 to 1887, were $1,444,674,184. Comparing the first year of Cleveland's first term with the last year of his second term, the following were the expenditures: Civil and miscellaneous Households $74,160,530 $189,041,261 Warehouse 113,521,311 113,521,311 Navy Department 135,987,887 34,561,516 Indian service 6,000,158 12,016,802 Interest on debt 50,380,146 37,791,117 Total expenditures $242,483,159 $363,754,747 For the last fiscal year, 1904, the government expenditures were: Civil and miscellaneous (exclusive of $50,900,000) Panama $188,760,763 War Department 153,953,411 Navy Department 153,953,411 Indian service 10,458,588 Interest on debt 24,646,569 As regards interest on the public debt, the figures of the Harrison administration that intervened between the two Cleveland administrations are of interest. The interest payments for the year 1892, the last year of Republican rule, were $23,778,116, as against $31,580,140 for the first year of fiscal year 1893, and $29,000,140 for Cleveland's second administration the public debt was increased $290,000,000, and the interest payments, which in 1892 amounted to $2,237,116, in 1897 amounted to $37,791,116. In 1904 the interest on the public debt was only $24,646,490, this reduction having been due chiefly to the economy rendered possible through the financial act of March, 1900, which every Democrat in Congress voted against. The most important increase in expenditures under Republican rule has been for the navy—and this policy of upbuilding the navy was a pet policy of the late W. C. Whitney, President Cleveland's Secretary, in 1887. The term the father of the modern American navy. During the Cleveland years, expenditures for the navy increased $120,000,000, and the Navy Department expenditures for 1904, compared with those for 1887. Cleveland's last year show that the Navy Department's bulk of which increase is for construction of new ships. In consideration of the fact that the United States has increased nearly 50 per cent. in population and more than 100 per cent. in wealth since Grover Cleveland, the Navy has increased expenditures of government would naturally seem to be entirely justified. If they are not, the Democrats should, at least in fairness, be willing to criticize the increase in Democratic years just such as the increase in Republican years. WORKINGMAN'S FRIEND Frank Evidence of Roosevelt's Sympathy with Wage Earners. It has been repeatedly stated that President Roosevelt never misses an opportunity to show his sympathy for the victims of the bombing of the truth of this assertion, "During the existing administration," says the Chicago Tribune, "the United States for the first time has intervened in a private damage suit. Nothing was known of the order until Senator Knox, late Attorney General Warren, broke the brakeman was injured, after the act requiring the use of safety appliances on interstate railroads had gone into effect, while endeavoring to couple cars which had not been equipped in accordance with law. He brought suit for damages against the State of Illinois, and was successful. The case was called to the attention of the President, and, as he saw that the decision of the lower court nullified a great remedial statute, he directed a petition for a writ of certiorari to be filed to remove the case to the Supreme Court. The Court ruled that which was passed to protect the lives of hundreds of thousands of railroad workers can be violated with impunity." The Democrats are everlastingly referring to Jackson and Jefferson as the political demigods of the past. No one has ever been more successful than he alive to-day. He was a good man, and a scheder and dreamer in politics. Anyone can tell what Jackson would do were he alive to-day. He would be with you, and you would be the same way the same kind of man.

HE SAVED MY LIFE AT SANTAGO, AND I HAVE HAD OCCasion TO GO MANY MARATHONS AND SPEECHES THE ROUGH RIGHT WERE IN A BAD POSITION WHEN THE NINTH AND TENTH CAVALRY CAME RUSHING UP THE HILL, CARRYING THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOLDIER THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOLDIER HAS THE FACULTY OF COMING TO THE FRONT WHEN HE IS NEEDED MOST. IN THE CIVIL WORK, I CAME 40,000 STRONG, AND I BELIEVE HE SAVED THE UNION."—President Roosevelt SATURDAY OCTOBER 22, 1904 GRAVES' EFFRONTERY John Temple Graves of Atlanta, Ga. comes to the front with an open letter, which, from a psychological standpoint, is a curiosity. The marshal's duty is to discover the efficacy is the effrontery with which it affirms propositions which thousands of living and creditable witnesses know to be absolutely and entirely false, having not the remotest resemblance to the case. For instance, he says: In the cities women dare not walk the streets night, nor ride in the city midday. In the above, there is not a single word of truth—women walk the streets of Atlanta, Charleston, Mobile and New Orleans, unescorted, as safely as they do those of Boston, Philadelphia or Chicago, and ride with equal safety and fortressness. Moreover, Graves utterly ignores the fact that it has been proven to a demonstration that the crime against woman is not the offense charged in one-tenth the cases of lynching that oocr. His disregard of truth and ignorance faults the to world are both phenomenal. It is not entirely evident that if conditions in the South bore any resemblance of Mr. Graves' description that men could not be induced to loot the city, thousands of them are doing, in the country, a mile from the nearest neighbor, and leave them at almost any time entirely unprotected. Yet such is the case all Temple Graves are so far fetched and preposterous as to lead us to seriously doubt his sanity. DOES RACE PREJUDICE PAY? The Atlanta Constitution has an article on "Immigration Problems," which incidentally shows the economical rampt all over this country. The result is that the whole country, California as well as Georgia, is suffering and losing vast sums of money on account of the scarcity of farm labor. Georgia, as follows: A large per cent of the arable lands of the southern states are withdrawn from the area. The population is due to cause the Negro is ceasing to be a farm laborer, or at least, a dependable farm laborer, while the harvest season fludks are not as long as the other, but the kitchen of the southern home the situation is even worse. The old-time southern cook is a farm vills, and any kind of a book rare enough from Joaquin. Then comes a quotation from Joaquin Miller in the Current Arena: The truth is, California demands a class of labor that is willing to get out and labor. And this is what the truth states say, what is the status of the states want. We want that and just that, be the laborer white, black or brown. I assert that farmers, great and small, women, inside of cities and outside of cities, all peoples of all places, who are using the excess of all local modification by better still, an unqualified repeal of the restriction act; and that one exception is the trade unions. Probably both Mr. Howell and Mr. Miller steadfastly believe that this is a white man's country, but they both limit that the white is the common or will not cultivate it. And uncultivated lands can pay but little tax, in fact are a burden rather than a blessing to the owner. The question then arises: “Do exclusions disfranchisements, segregations and lynchings pay? They account for the scarcity of labor; BUT DO THEY PAY? MR. SCHURZ AND HIS RHEOTIC that time a national election is pending. Hon. Carl Schurz comes to the front with an elaborated dish of Rhetoric, which he offers to the people. Mr. Schurz knows that the people have no idea as to where he comes from, and imagines that there is general and intense curiosity to find out. He presents a dainty dish fit to set before a king, so far as the Rhetoric is concerned, but the usual result is nothing. People read it more, and forget it, forget it less or more facility—generally, the latter. For certain reasons, no man with the talent of Mr. Schurz, has less potentiality with the masses. They have very little, if any confidence in the correctness of his judgment, or in his ability to public view as his convictions. He is unco good; too much so, for his own success. THE RACE AND AMENDMENTS. "The Negro knows nothing about the amendments and cares nothing for the amendments, says Mr. Graves." "Prodigious," we reply, "Greece endows so subtly and subtly支论 discussion in the three hundred Afro-American newspapers. The $e are the basis of suits without number instituted by Afro-Americans, and are frequently referred to by the Afro-American preachers. h o m Mr. Graves endows so subtly and subtly authors so bitterly. Perhaps one reason why Mr. Graves' preachments have so little effect is because he asserts so 'recklessly what every intelligent person knows to be false in uno and in omnibus. STANDS FOR EQUALITY OF MEN. We recommend to the special attention of every Afro-American voter in the United States, the pledges of the deceased of Wm. Wm. R. Moody, delivered to the Massachusetts Republic state Convention. Mr. Moody being the Attorney-General of the United States, the pledges implied in the extract are as authoritative in the extract as the utterances President himself; We expect victory because our leader, through her experience, is clearly for the principle of the equality of all men before the law, and we expect her belief in this principle is interwoven with every fibre of his being, it was a gift from God, and when he dites, he has acted steadfastly on his belief, when he told us that they were clear, in storm as well as in sunshine, has made us work with them, with the corporation or with the trades or against any man because of his race or color, but has judged him solely by in obedience to this principle he defied a deep race prejudice, when he defended a faithful public servant should not be driven from our office because of his race or color. Deeper than all other issues and more positive feature of this republic is the question whether you will condemn the man professed and act for this high ideal. Our dear friend, Hon. A. C. Lattimer, has been speecking in New England and has returned to South* Carolina, which state he represents in the United States Senate in a state of doleful dumps. He has been the state condition of the junior senator, in his words that "the race issue is tabooed or not fully understood by the Democratic leaders in the North." So the Charleston News and Courier waxes and tells Hon. Mr. Lattimer these two news stories these Democratic editors are very hard to please. They scoffed at Senator Hill's great Panama speech—said he was 'wasting his 'ammunition—they damn Bryan for speaking too much and curse Cleveland for not speaking at all; so what is a fellow 'a going to There seems to be sufficient evidence of a horrible condition of things in the Congo Free state. In reply to the mention, therove improve the condition introduced, the Bengal Transcript thus sums up the situation: The railway, the telegraph and telephone lines and all the rest, are constructed for the sole purpose, of exploiting the country, and the people, and of fastening upon them a system of slavery, the more the human being is subjected to the machine, which disregarding every THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER human and personal relation of the men it employs, measures its success merely by the quotations of the Antwerp rubber market.

Washington—Guest of Honor. wrongs suffered by the Afro-American people since the rebellion. The Democratic party has almost invariably wronged the race while the Republican party has done much to right these wrongs. Under the Roosevelt administration, there are in the civil service of the United States, in the city of New Orleans, 108 Afro-Americans, drawing WASHINGTON THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT TANCES. A Collection of a Few of the Occurring Among the Afro-cans of the Capital of This and Gloorious Nation for Our Miss Lund, a Norwegian lady—Mr. Washington's vis-a-vis. Robt. Treat Palme, a big Democrat, introduces Mr. Washington. The function was evidently designed to give the Southern newspapers an issue to discuss. The white planter of the South would meet Bishop Galloway with a Winchester, if the distinguished race separationist attempted to separate him from his black laborers. --- The Parker and Davis Club at Jackson, Mississippi, has issued a bombastic "Address to the People" which contains the following: "The American people will pass judgment on that unjustified incarceration of the two inhabiting races of the South to a common level, regards of natural differences and unmindful of the desperate resentment inspired in the superior race by such an assault on its people. In a republic we be but one kind of citizenship and all citizens should be on a common level so far as their political rights are concerned. That's the stand the Republican party has taken on the question." Parker is holding his peace regarding the Parker is holding his peace regarding the Southern states' amendments discriminating against Afro-American citizens in the exercise of the right to vote, he will leave to the Supreme Court the duty of determining whether by this action the states have violated the constitution. With the possibility that some of the present justices may be retired and their places filled —in the case of Parker's election—by such men as Tillman, Vardaman and John Sharp who think it would be easier what decision would be read. Parker is holding his peace regarding the course of the Southern states which have adopted constitutional amendments discriminating against Afro-American citizens in the exercise of the right to vote. He will leave to the Supporters the opportunity to neither by this action the states have violated the constitution of the United States. With the possibility that some of the present justices may be retired and their places filled by such men as Tillman, Vardaman and John Sharp Williams, it is easy to what decision would be reached. If anybody can show, conclusively, that the election of Parker, will benefit in any way, or, better the condition of the Afro-Americans, as a class, will benefit in any way, or, better the honest, upright citizens, who believe in and live up to the principle that a man is a man for a 'a' that and 'a' that, regardless of race, color, creed or previous condition, we will advocate his election. But as his election will much worse, than they now are—and God knows they are bad enough—we cry aloud, VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT! Bishop Candler of the M. E. church has made for himself a glorious record by his effective and real opposition to the crime of lynching, the crime of insurrection, the church of Statesboro, Ga., requires any of its members, if such there were, who participated in the recent lynching, to either "make public confession of wrong with expression of the crime outside of the fold. The Atlanta Constitution commends this action as "eminently right and proper." If there is any doubt in the mind of any one that this country ought to have laws which would compel the railroad corporations to secure safety devices for the protection of human life, and that such laws would finally be removed if such a one will acquaint himself with the fact that there were 11,291 accidents, 3,787 persons killed, 55,130 injured. There was also a loss of $5,383,077 worth of railroad property during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904. Isn't it awful? "I am opposed to the nigger's voting, it matters not what his advertised moral and mental qualifications are, nor what he is supposed to Booker Washington's, with all his Anglo-Saxon reinforcements, voting as I am to voting by the coconut head, chocolate colored, typical little coon, Andy Dotson, who blacks my shoes every morning. Neither of these functions of citizenship." Governor Vardaman, Democratic Governor of Mississippi. Judge Thomas C. Jones of the United States Court at Huntsville, Alabama, in opening the recent session delivered a vigorous charge to the grand jury with regard to the recent lynching of an Afro-American in that city and instructed that the matter be probed that the bottom court's judgments could be covert any of the lynchers, and it is left for a judge appointed by President Roosevelt, to see that justice is done. If Joe, Walcott had stuck to the "manly art of self defense" of which he was an able exponent and let "shootin' irons" alone he would not now be "knocked out" by one of the latter. Last Monday he went to a dance in Boston and carried to Nelson C. Hall when it was accidentally fired, the ball going through Walcott's right hand and killing Hall. John Temple Graves anxiously inquires: "Is this black man from savage Africa to perpetually disturb the harmony of the sections? Certainly not; for if Mr. Graves will hunt up a single 'black man' from savage Africa, in the United States, THE APPEAL will agree to transport him to the St. Louis Exposition. In Cuba the Afro-American soldiers astonished the world by their bravery and coolness under fire. They were fighting to free the beautiful isle from the Spanish yoke. It was a Republican President. McKinley, who commissioned 266 men of the race to lead their men to battle. wrongs suffered by the Afro-American people since the rebellion. The Democratic party has almost invariably wronged the race while the Republican party has done much to right these wrongs. Under the Roosevelt administration, there are in the civil service of the United States, in the city of New Orleans, 108 Afro-Americans, drawing nearly $100,000 every year in salaries. No Afro-Americans are employed by the Democratic state and city governments. In Chicago recently a man predicted the exact hour of his death and died according to schedule. The people of this country may be relied upon to kill Tillmanism, Vardamanism, Jeff Davisism and other Democraticisms on schedule time, November 8, 1904. The old saying about consistency being a jewel is a proverb which does not appeal to Parker and Tillman. They continue to yell about their love for liberty in the Philippines, but refuse to grant civil and political rights to the Afro-Americans of the South. The Hon. Mr. Davis ought to make his speeches chime in tune. It will not do to assert in one speech that the Afro-Americans, in certain states elect the President, and in the next to claim that this is a white man's country. "Bishop Carroll aptly compares the frantic alignments of the Tillman-Vardaman type to 'a bleating calf jumping up suddenly from under a chinquap bush';" and there is both truth and poetry in his comparison. It cost a million lives and a billion dollars to rid this country of the curse of slavery. The Democratic party hopes to take away the manhood rights of the Afro-Americans and reduce them to a state of vassalage. Some of the papers are putting forward the plea Parker as President, would not do the country much harm. Such a proposition will not attract many voters. We want a President who can do some good. The contest against Afro-American suffrage is not settled. It is still being fought with bitterness. The Republican party gave the ballot to the race; the Democratic party is endeavoring to wrest it from him. The Democrats of the South are especially anxious for the election of Parker because they believe it will then be easier than it is even now, to deprive the Afro-American of his rights as a citizen. The progress of the Afro-American people in 20 years of freedom has been greater than that of any other country. A great deal of this progress should be credited to the Republican party. THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEA. THIS GOVERNMENT IS BASED UPON THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEA THAT EACH MAN, NO MATTER WHAT HIS OCCUPATION, IS RULE OF RELIGIOUS BELief IS ENTITLED TO BE TREATED ON HIS WORTH AS A MAN, NEITHER FAVORED NOR DISCRIMINATED AGENT BECAUSE OF HIS POSITION.—President Roosevelt in his letter of acceptance, September 12, 1904. Wade Hartley, an Afro-American, was beaten to death last week while he held the chain gang in South Carolina. Chain gangs exist only in states where the Democratic party is in power. All of the prominent Afro-Americans who strayed into the Bryan camp in 1900 have come back to the city. They say there is no place in the Democratic party for an Afro-American. The frequent occurrence of frightful railroad accidents may be traced to two causes: Fragile cars and overworked employees. Public opinion should force a reform in these particulars. In no school in New Orleans for Afro-American pupils, is instruction given in any grade higher than the fifth. The Southern Democrats seem determined to keep the race down. At a recent Democratic meeting one speaker declared: "The 'nigger' has no more right to the ballot than a two-year-old child has with a pistol." That's straight Democratic doctrine. "Rally Around the Flag, Boys," we'll defend it with our lives against the attacks of Tillman, Vardaman, Graves & Co., and all the anarchists they can marshal. The first lynching of a white man in South Carolina occurred recently. Hundreds of Afro-Americans have been murdered by mobs in that Democratic stronghold. The Democratic speakers are garb- ing President Roosevelt's words in a desperate attempt to make it appear that he advocated lynch law. The Democrats of the South say that the Afro-American is all right— in his place and they assume the right to designate the place. The campaign buttons used by the Parker and Davis Clubs in Maryland are inscribed, "This is a White Man's Country." Line up: marshal every mother's son who loves his country and get ready to vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. The buttons of the Maryland Parker and Davis clubs bear the legend "The White Man Must Rule." The Democrats hold the South solid by the forcible suppression of the Afro-Americans' franchise. Those who want freedom from work may obtain it by voting for Parker. THE DOOR OF HOPE I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color.— PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES. A Collection of a Few of the Events Occurring Among the Afro-Americans of the Capital of This Great and Glorious Nation for Our Many Readers. Washington, D. C., Oct. 20.—A recent article by Mr. Samuel W. Moffett to the Saturday Evening Post of Philadelphia gives some very interesting data about the Afro-American people, Mr. Moffett says: The time is past when African Americans were an Afro-American were to pick cotton, make up berths in a Pullman car or wait on a table. He notes the fact that we are developing a complete social and industrial system of our own, and that we could finance a railroad through their eighty-two bankers and brokers, lay it out with their 120 civil engineers and surveyors, condemn the right-of-way with their lawyers, make the rails of the 12,327 iron and steelers, build the road with their 545,980 laborers, construct its telegraph system with their 185 electricians and their 529 linemen, and operate it with their 185 steam engines and Afro-American baby can be introduced to the world by Afro-American physicians and nurses, instructed in every accomplishment. by Afro-American teachers, supplied with every requisite life, by Afro-American merchants, furnished by an Afro-American bankers and buried by an Afro-American under-taker." Mr. Wm. Cobb has a very pleasant smile on his face these days—It's a boy. The Musical by the piano pupils of Mrs. Robert Pelham Jr., and Miss Josephine Pelham Wednesday evening at the Berean Baptist church was a delightful treat to the music loving public. Dr. A. M.

Banks, will give "An Evening of Music" at Lincoln Temple church next Monday evening at the services of the Minute Men's Club—Mr. W. S. Crouse, General Chairman. Miss Carrie Holland of Philadelphia is spending a few weeks in the city the guest of Miss Carrie Lee. It will be very pleasing information to the Afro-Americans of Illinois to learn that among the recent appointments to Howard University faculty, none has received more favorable comment than the appointment of Mr. H. H. H. H. in the Teachers' College of that university. Mr. Joiner has been an instructor in Latin at the M. St. High School for the past six or seven years and was deservedly popular with pupils and officers of his institution. Theation of his resignation the board openly expressed much regret at losing him and delayed the acceptance of the resignation for several weeks. Mr. Joiner is a native of Illinois and graduated from his father's account and because of his own merits. He is the only surviving son of the late REv. E. C. Joiner, one of the best known Methodist preachers in the middle west, familiarly known as the "Little Giant" because of his small stature and great power as a preacher. The son was also active in church and Sunday school work throughout the state and has an acclaimed career. He was graduated from the public schools of Illinois, finishing the High School at Springfield, where, although he was sustaining himself by working, he was among the leaders in the only Afro-Americans and won a scholarship in college by his splendid record. Before the completion of his college course and ere he had attained his majority his father died leaving him the care of a mother and sister. It was by noble sacrifices on their part that he was enabled to complete his college course which was done in less than the usual period though he was carrying the studies of both of them, and in both of which he received diplomas. The fall following his graduation he was appointed to the principalship of a school at Jerseyville, Ill., where he remained two and a half years, resigning in the middle of the third year to accept a position in the war department where his sister was been appointed a vice president and his writer well remembers what a stir was caused by these two appointments following so close one upon the other, as Mr. Joiner and his sister had taken the civil service examination at the University of Pennsylvania and other aspirants in Illinois and they were the first two appointed from their district having headed their respective lists. With the exodus of Republican clerks under Cleveland and Mr. Joiner's connection with the departments ceased and he was shortly after appointment as a professor at the School. Meantime he had graduated from the law department of Howard taking the two year course in one year and the winning - valedictorie of his class. The next year in a post course he won the degree of L. L. M. course in Pedagogy with the first class to graduate from that course at Howard University. He is one of the young men that Illinois feels proud of and to whom the citizens of Springfield light to point as an example of what grit and hard work can do for a young man even though his opportunity be limited. The writer, who has known him for many years and whose father was a professor, Professor Jolner be born, thinks that Howard University is to be congratulated upon securing this addition to its teaching corps. The many friends of Hon. James Hale Porter of Chicago are glad to learn that he is once more taking an active interest in politics—but would like to know whether he is with "Polly" or the "neighbor." Mr. Harry Boger was in the city several days last week Mr. Edward Nalle is spending few days in New York. Chas. E. Hall. SAVED THE UNION PRES. ROOSEVELT LAUDS VALOR OF AFRO-AMERICAN SOLDIERS. "The Afro-American Soldier has the Faculty of Coming to the Front When He is Needed Most—He is a First Class Fighting Man." In 1900, when Theodore Roosevelt was Governor of New York, he was interviewed about the Afro-American soldier and this is what he said: "I had occasion to tell the story of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushing up in full carrying everything before them. "The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the Civil war he came 200,000 strong, and I believe he is a brilliant and excellent work in all of the Indian campaigns, and while I was in the West, I had a number of opportunities of witnessing his wonderful work. He saved a massacre of the Seventh in 1890. At San Juan hill the Afro-American soldiers rendered an object lesson to all of the soldiers assembled there. They sang and fought and pushed the laggard troopers up the hill and the great victory at that point was theirs as much if not more than any of the POLITICAL POINTERS. Bryan's tour of Indiana will make many votes—for Roosevelt. The Democrats declare against imperialism in the Philippines but are silent on mob barbarism in America. Tom Watson, in a speech at Albany, N. Y., calls Parker a "trimmer" and doiger, and praises Roosevelt for having the courage of his convictions. James K. Jones, former chairman of democratic national committee, says the outlook is promising for Parker. James K. said something about Bryan in 1950. Chairman Taggart dismisses democratic committee clerks and forces the conviction that his party already admits Parker's defeat. Speaker Cannon says that the great trouble in this campaign is the overconfidence of Republicans. The Speaker is a level-headed man. In order to win, all true Republicans must work and work hard for the ticket. The republican campaigning party, composed of Speaker Cannon of the house of representatives and Congressman Dayton and Bede, addressed a large crowd at Morgantown, W. Va., at an all-day meeting Tuesday. "The State of Massachusetts," said he, "will give the President at least 50,000 plurality." He will receive the votes of many Democrats, particularly of the young men who admire the President's personality." After a conference with the President Wednesday Attorney General Moody said that he expected to leave Washington next Sunday to take further part in the campaign. He will spend a part of the time in Massachusetts. Leap year methods were introduced at a political meeting at Lownd, Ind. Tuesday night and proved a decided success. Apathy was turned into enthusiasm by Miss Julia Beishaw, 20, who will be introduced W. W. Pepple, Congressman Crumpater's opponent, in a witty speech. A quartet of young women furnished the music for the occasion. The trouble about John Temple Graves' sagacious plans for the renaissance of the Ku Klux Klan, is that the remedy is worse than the disease. One form of lawlessness can never be avoided, and the Temple ought to read the story in the Arabian Knights of the fisherman who brought up from the depths of the sea a casket in which was confined, an evil genius, held there by the power of the sea. The man broke the seal and John Temple is trying to do the same thing. TUSKEGEE Normal and Industrial Institute Organized July 4, 1881, by the State Legislature as the Tuskegee State Normal School.

Roosevelt and Dunn are the leaders all delight to follow. If you claim to be a Republican be one and work and vote for Dunn and Roosevelt. All good Republicans are going to vote for R. C. Dunn for governor of Minnesota. What can be gained for Republicans by voting for Democrats? Democrats only take care of their own. Put Republicans in office and they can help you. The women of St. Paul will have an opportunity to vote at the next city election on the proposition to furnish free text books for the school children. The proposition is passed now. Mr. Markham is a candidate for Judge of the District Court; needs no introduction to the voters of St. Paul, as he has been active in public affairs for many years. He was City Attorney from 1897 to 1903, and has since been active as a member of the Charter Commission, of which he is now president. Mr. Markham as a public official has served alike, all classes of people, and the Republican party has shown its appreciation of his services by choosing him as a candidate for the District bench of Ramsey County. He doubtless will be elected. Vote for him. Oscar Hallam, Republican candidate for District Judge of Ramsey County is one of the most popular young attorneys of St. Paul as was shown by his run in the primaries. He has been a prominent member of the Ramsey county bar for many years. He has been an active Republican worker in every campaign. He was prominently mentioned for attorney general during the recent state campaign, he refused to make the bail. Hallam refused to make his wide acquaintance, personall popularity and high standing as a lawyer, will make a formidable candidate for the bench. Vote for him. W. H. H. Republican Candidate for County Auditor. Eighth Warders, Attention. In, accordance with resolutions passed at a recent meeting o call is hereby issued to the Republicans of the Eighth ward for a meeting to be held at McKinley Hall, corner Western and University avenues, Monday evening, Oct. 8 at 8 o'clock, consider the visibility of organizing a permanent Eighth Ward Afro-American Republican club. All Republicans are urged to be present. Harry B. Howard, Temporary Chairman. Republican Candidate for County Auditor. During his first term Edward G. Krahmer has made a notable record as county auditor. The distinguishing features thereof have been a perfected system, an orderly administration and a marked efficiency in all departments. His acts have squared with his promises and justly entitle him to the reward of a re-election. The best guarantee of the future are the performances of the past; and, judged by this standard, Mr. Krahmer requires no further commendation. He has instituted a thorough revision of the business and methods of the county has inaugurated certain reforms which the public interests require shall be continued uninterruptedly to a successful conclusion. In the truest sense the term he has been a conscientious, obliging and efficient public servant, and the flattering support which was accorded him in so generous a way at the recent primaries will no doubt, be extended to him in fuller-measure at the general election on next November 8th. Vote for him. Republican Candidate for County Treasurer. The Republican candidate for county treasurer looks like a winner from start to finish. In the primary election contest he carried every precinct in every ward in the city of St. Paul, with one exception, and every election district in the county outside of St. Paul by a vote of three to one, receiving more than 6,000 votes at the primaries, a record that no candidate appearing before the voters of Ramsey county for the first time has ever equaled. Mr. Foot is a young man 31 years of age, was educated in the public schools of St. Paul, and has lived in this city during all his life. He is a good business man, an expert accountant, and thoroughly fitted JESSE FOOT, JESSE FOOT, Republican Candidate for County Treasurer. in every way to take personal charge of the office to which he aspires. He is a nephew of S. B. Foot, senior member of the well-known manufacturing firm of Foot, Schulze & Co., of this city. The office of county treasurer is one of the most important in Ramsey county, and the law requires that any person holding the same shall furnish to the county of Ramsey immortalizing bonds in the sum of $500.00. No better recommendation as to Mr. Foot's integrity and personal standing in the community can be given than to point to the fact that the St. Paul representatives of two of the leading bonding companies of the United States stand ready to furnish that bond the very instant Mr. Foot qualifies as treasurer of Ramsey county. Vote for him. MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND GREAT "FLOU" Matters Social, Religious Which Have Happened Among the City. Mrs. J. W. Koger leaves for ten days Saturday. Mr. Chas.

While a member of that body he was the leader in the floor and made an important record as an agent in the highest and capable official. Mr. Wheeler is an able lawyer and would make an excellent county attorney. Vote for him. JOHN T. ROSENTHAL Republican Candidate for Representative 34th District. John T. Rosenthal, Republican candidate for representative from the Thirty-fourth district, represents the vigorous young business man in politics. This is the gentleman's first appearance as a political character, and it would appear that he has been very well received by the public.

He is manager of the grocery and meat market at the corner of Marion and Charles streets, owned by his father, Joseph Rosenthal. He graduated from the St. Paul Law College in 1902, and was admitted to the bar. His brother, Frank J., is the well known bass singer.

Hanson, Secretary of State-Sir: Present to Chapter 157 of the General Laws of 1857 I herewith file in your office synopses of Amendments to the Constitution of the State of Minnesota, as proposed by the General Laws of the State of Minnesota enacted at the General Session of the Legislature in 1903, and an act involving the taxation of railroad property, being Chapter 253, Laws 1903, to be submitted to the voters at the next general election. Yours respectfully. W.J. DONAHOOWER, Attorney General. Synopses of Amendments to the Constitution of the State of Minnesota Proposed by the Legislature of the State of Minnesota in 1903, as well as a Synopsis in Chapter 253 of the General Laws of 1903 Proposing an Increase of Gross Earnings Tax Upon Railroad Property: Persuasive to the provisions of Section 32 (a) of Article 4 of the Constitution, the Legislature, by an act approved April 18th, 1933, known as Chapter 233. General Laws of 1933, present to the electors of the state for rejection or approval, will Section 1. Every railroad company owning or operating any railway within this state, shall during the year 1955, and annually thereafter pay into the treasury assessments upon all property within this state, owned or operated for railway purposes, appurtenances, appendages and franchises thereof, a sum of money equal to four (4) per share of the operation of such line of railway within this state; and the annual payment of suca sum shall be made upon the property and assessments upon the property and assessments so taxed. The lands acquired and franchises so owned, except from taxation until sold or contracted to be sold, or conveyed, as provided in the respective acts such grants were authorized, or privatized. Sec. 2. The term 'the gross earnings derived from the operation of such line of railway' is, in this case, of this act, is hereby declared and shall be construed to mean, 'the earnings of such act, is hereby declared and shall be construed to mean, 'the earnings of this state, and a proportion, based upon the proportion of the mileage within the state, of such business is done, of earnings on all interstate business passing through, into or out of the state. 3. All acts and parts of acts not inconsistent herewith regulating the payment, collection or other reports involving the amount of taxes upon the gross earnings of railroad companies within the state, of such payment, of such taxes, are hereby made applicable to the nonpayment of such taxes, are hereby made applicable to the parts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed. Sec. Upon failure to pay the amount of taxes legally due upon the date heretofore provided by law for the payment thereof, the collection may be enforced in a civil action brought in the name of the State of Minnesota in the district court Sec. 5. Before any railroad company shall be heard to contest or continue a claim for the amount of taxes due or payable from such railroad company under the existing law of this state applicable to the company. Sec. 6. This act shall be submitted to the people of this state for a general election for the year 1904. . . (The omitted provisions refer to the method of print-ing and submitting this act for ratification.) This act provides for an increase in the amount of taxes collected by the state upon the property of the railroads situated within the state from three per cent of the gross earnings derived from the operation of railways within the state to a sum equal to four per cent of the gross earnings derived from the operation of such lines of railway within the state. The annual payment of such sum shall be in and in lie not all other taxes and assessments upon the property so taxed. The lands acquired by public grant shall be taxed by the government from taxation until sold or contracted to be sold or conveyed, as provided in said acts where such grants were recognized. Provision is made in this act whereby the disputed and unpaid taxes on the gross earnings of any railway company within the state may be collected by a civil action brought in the name of the State of Minnesota in any county thereof. The right to maintain such civil action is in addition to existing remedies for the collection of the per centum tax upon the gross earnings of railroads within the state. The existing remedy which the State of Minnesota may use in enforcing the payment by any railroad company within the state of any disputed and unpaid taxes upon its gross earnings, is by destraint of its movable property by the State Treasurer, and sale thereof to such state's claim. This method of enforcing the collection of such taxes, proposed by this amendment, will, if adopted, enable the state to secure a speedy and direct judicial determination of the liability of any such railway company for disputed and unpaid items of gross earnings taxes. Under the terms of the Constitution of the State of Minnesota this act of the legislature must be submitted to the legal voters of the state, and will become operative if adopted by a majority of the electors voting at the next general election. II. By an act of the legislature of the State of Minnesota of 1903, known as Chapter 25 of the General Laws of Minnesota of 1903, the same being House File No. 4, it is proposed to amend Section 6 of Article 1 of the Constitution of the State of Minnesota. The existing provision of the Constitution, which is here sought to be amended, "Sec. 6. The permanent school and university fund of this state may be invested in the purchase of bonds of any county, school district, city, town or village of this state, but no such investment shall be made until approved by the board of commissioners designated by law to regulate the investment of the permanent school fund and the permanent university fund of this state; nor shall such loan or investment be made when the issue of which the same in part would make the entire bonded indebtedness exceed seven per cent of the assessed valuation of the taxable real property of the county, school district, city, town or village issuing such bonds; nor shall such loans or indebtedness be made at lower rate or interest than three per cent per annum, nor for a shorter period than twenty (20 years); and no change of the town, school district, village, city or county lines shall relieve the real property in such a manner as or city in this state at the time of issuing the bonds from any liability for taxation to pay such is proposed by said Chapter 25 of the General Laws of 1003 to amend Section 6 of Article 8 of the Constitution of Minnesota so as to read as follows: "Sec. 6. The permanent school and university fund of this state may be invested in the bonds of any county, school district, city, town or village of this state but no such investment shall be made until approved by the board of commissioners designated by law to regulate the investment of the permanent school fund and the permanent university fund of this state; nor shall such loan of investment be made when the entire sued or purchase would make the entire kind of unvested property exceed fifteen (15) per cent of the assessed valuation of the taxable real property of the county, school district, city, town or village of suing such bonds; nor shall such loans or indebtedness be made at a lower rate of interest than three percent per annum, nor for a shorter period than five years or for a longer period than twenty (20) years, and no change of the town, school district, city, village or county lines shall relieve the real property in such town, school district, county, village or city, this state at the time the issuing of such bonds from any liability for taxation to pay such bonds." By an act of the legislature of the State of Minnesota, approved April 1, 1903, the General Laws of 1903, the same being Senate File 173, it is proposed to amend the constitution of the State of Minnesota. The section as now existing reads as follows: The effect of this amendment, if adopted, will be to give the legislature the power to determine the manner and form of charging persons with the commission of criminal acts. As the constitution now reads, the procedure by which a person is held to answer for a criminal offense is by presentment or indictment of a grand jury or by criminal warrant issued by a justice of the peace. In place of such presentment or indictment of a grand jury, or a warrant issued to substitution of the peace, it is imposed which the legislature may deem due process of law. In other words, the legislature will have the power to provide a criminal procedure in conformity with the rights guaranteed by the fundamental law, by which a person shall be held to account for a criminal offense. Such procedure must conform with the requirements of what is due process of law under the Constitution of the United States and the State of Minnesota. The proposed amendment may be made the basis for an act of the legislature authorizing the arrest and prosecution of persons on an information issued by a county attorney charging the commission of a criminal act. The existing Constitution specifically includes the form of holding a person to answer for a criminal offense. If the proposed constitutional amendment is adopted the legislature may then, within proper constitutional limits, adopt a new method of procedure. ST. PAUL.
