"I KNOW OF THE BRAVERY AND CHARACTER OF THE AFRO-AMER- ICAN FIGHTERS WHO LIVED LIFE AT SANTIAGO, AND 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 THE HILL, CARRY- ING IN THE HILLS, AND HOME THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOLDIER HAS THE FACULTY OF COMING TO THE FRONT WHEN HE IS NEEDED MOST. IN THE CIVIL WAR HE CAME 100,000 STRONG, AND I BELIEVE "HE SAVED THE UNION."—President Roosevelt. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1904. DISHONEST DEMOGRATS. In 1872, the Democratic party of the United States declared in its platform that no attempt would ever be made to reopen the questions settled by the civil war and the adoption of the thirteenth amendments to the Constitution. The plank in the platform of 1872, reads as follows: "1. We recognize the equality of all men before the law, and hold that it is our duty to deal with the people to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race, color, persuasion, religious or political. 2. We pledge ourselves to maintain the peace of the states, ammunition and enfranchisement, and to oppose any re-opening of the questions settled by the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. 3. Democrats were evidently insincere when that plank was penned, for within a short time thereafter they M. B. HON. HARRY S. NEW. Member Republican National Executive Committee. began to disregard the provisions of the war amendments and thousands of Afro-American citizens were deprived of the franchise, first by force and later by the enactment of unfair election laws. Next the Southern Democratic legislatures passed Jim Crow laws and other infamous acts for the humiliation and degradation of the Afro-American people. Now the spokesmen of the Democratic party deny the equality of all men before the law and actually favor the repeal of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Can such a party be trusted? Were not the next move be an attempt to repeal of the thirteenth amendment? an Afro-American child beyond the fifth grade. Without political right political power in the South because the species of villainy based on the idea that "born free and equal." TILLMAN ON EDUC Someone recently suggests Fork Tillman that the rabble could be settled by education "cable niggers" and then he lauds there is only one nigger can stand an education. That to an educated nigger was to preach the gospel. If SOUTHERN CONDITIONS: Felix Adler, the great ethical teacher recently said in one of his very notable addresses: "The present condition of the South is analogous to that condition of Europe which follows the Middle Ages, and just prior to the French Revolution." And this is true. Every evil which existed in Europe just prior to the French Revolution may be found at the South except one—excessive taxation. While excessive taxation is the main cause of South taxation without representation may be found there, and this was the historic cause of the American Revolution. Talne says that 81 per cent of the produce of the peasantry of France was taxed, and that 40 per cent of imposts of various kinds, Massillon, the eloquent priest of that period, described the condition of the masses of the French population as being economically lower than that of the West Indian slaves. Carley says: "The French population was under a nightmare of oppression." The aristocracy of France lived by the sweat of the toiling masses, and stole the fruits of their toll from them with governmental agencies. The masses were kept in ignorance—no matter what the weapon was by the state with the result that' in their wretchedly impoverished condition and low intellectual state, morality and vice were manifest everywhere. Now, in many respects the condition of the Afro-American people at the South was worse than the condition of the rural French just on the eve of the revolution. Afro-Americans at the South charged with crime are tried by Caucasian judges and Caucasian juries and prosecuted by Caucasian attorneys. The Caucasian judges are inoculated with the virus of race prejudice, and the universal indifference felt by the masses of Caucasian men and women of the South' to the outrages daily perpetuated on Afro-Americans has long since crystallized into statutory enactments which are undemocratic, unjust and infiant. No one has ever been prosecuted for the intellectual condition of a people then by a perusal of their laws. We find that in every Southern state laws have been so cunningly devised as to recognize the great industrial advantage that the same time other laws place him in a category somewhat lower than that of a man. Thus in one state he is not allowed to emigrate into another one, on account of the danger forigrant agents to "entice" Afro-American laborers from the state. In the same state which thus recognizes his industrial indispensability, he is not allowed to commandeur in commandeur on the common carriers. "Jim Crow" cars being especially manufactured for his benefit. He is not allowed to vote, and "a man who does not vote ultimately be the slave of the man who does." Millions of Afro-American farm hands are kept in perpetual debt, by a system of contract wage slavery, from which very few ever succeed in emancipating themselves, and this because while the crops are growing they are not able to feed for their food and clothing by storekeepers, who are usually the owners of the plantations on which the laborers are working. These laborers being illiterate and unable to read or calculate, intelligently, are defrauded by dishonest storekeepers, who manage the plantations each year of service in their favor. Occasionally disputes occur, and black men are put to death as a warning that the storekeeper's account is not to be questioned. And thus they drag their weary lives out from year to year, "Brothers to the ox," with no hope for their improvement. Black men are frequently ill-tolerated all over the South that it no longer excites the attention of busy people. The South provides no adequate facilities for the education of her dark-skinned students, and law to attend a separate and often inferior school. In several of the states the schooling is restricted to those where it is prohibited by law to give THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. an Afro-American child instruction beyond the fifth grade. Without political, rights, without political power in the South, the Afro-American has become the victim of every species of villainy in a country based on the idea that "All men are born free and equal." TILLMAN ON EDUCATION Someone recently suggested to Pitchfork Tillman that the race question could be settled by education. "Educate niggers!" repeated the senator, and then heaughter "Say, you can stand an education. 100 that can stand an education. The first thing that an educated nigger wants to do is to preach the gospel. If not that he wants to practice law or teach school. Somebody has got to pound a tree on earth to pick cotton and that's what they'll have to do in the South. You certainly have made a mess of the nigger in the North. It's mighty seldom that a nigger becomes educated. He gets a sort of venn diagram of the people, and when he learns that he can't he drops the veneering and becomes just a plain nigger. A nigger is a nigger and you can't make anything else out of him. It will come mighty near being the fifteenth amendment is not repealed. WATSON'S PARALLEL. Thomas E. Watson, the Populist nominee for the Presidency in his letter of acceptance, draws a parallel between Roosevelt and Parker which is worth quoting; and we append some extracts, laid off for greater perspicacity in parallel columns. ROOSEVELT. While I love to make my battle experience more real, I went down in political defeat and death, yet I could respect him all the while as a man. The reason is obvious enough. Roosevelt is a straight out Republican who defends the principles, defensibly defending existing conditions. It is not in ambush; he is behind no blind; he stands out in the open and he says to his supporters that Republican who stands put on all existing conditions. If you want to fight, come on! By such utterances Mr. Watson shows far more political sagacity than the maudlin politicians who attempt to score a point upon Mr. Roosevelt by believing in his personality. By such utterances Mr. Watson s the maudlin politicians who attempt to belitling his personality. The belief that his policy is a questioned, that any attempt to disretry trying to capture Port Arthur with a President Roosevelt's policy is so masterly, his statismos so unquestioned, that any attempt to discredit either by personal attacks is like trying to capture Port Arthur with a goose-quill popgun. ORDER NO. 78. Judge Parker's idea of his duty to the superannuated soldier is tersely expressed in the old saying: Live horse and you shall have hay. He is forced to dissent from Order 78, because the Executive has no right to make any such action, because of the expensive expense it would entail on the government. Such is his argument, but he fails to prove either point. The President's order was in strict accordance with the spirit; no one has proved that it contravenes even the letter of the law, and the Treasury speech showed that it involved the expenditure of $300,000 in the space of three months. cratic lawmakers, goes through like a flash. The hard-fisted wage-earners are shouting for Roosevelt; the business men are longing for the election of Roosevelt; the sensible farmers are mulling for Roosevelt; many of those who were induced to vote for Bryan in 1900 are yelling for Roosevelt; and the ladies, God bless them, are naming their babies "Theodore Roosevelt." The Southern Democrats say that they would like to get rid of the Afro American laborers, yet nearly all of the states have statutes making them INDIVIDUAL WORTH THE PROPER TEST. IT IS AN INFAMOUS THING IN OUR AMERICAN LIFE AND FUNDAMENTALLY TREACHEROUS TO OUR INSTITUTIONS TO APPLY TO ANY INDIVIDUAL ANY TEST SAVE THAT OF PERSONAL WORTH. —President Roosevelt. The Southern newspapers have made a great to do over the recent Democratic uprising of the school children in Chicago. It seems that some of the children, led by the son of a Southern Democrat, struck because it was rumored that their brunette teacher had African American in school in being a bankings administrator by their parents convinced the young folks of their error. The children followed strictly the ethics of the Southern Democratic Lynch Code, which makes no provision for ascertaining the facts and depends entirely upon appearances. For learning the facts were made the ennobling practice of Lynching would soon become obsolete. "The white people of the Southern states where the Negroes constitute a large proportion of the population are determined to nullify the Fourteenth Amendment, to be Constitution of the United States so far as they can. White people of the South are going to rule, without regard to numbers or Federal laws. They are the superior race, the only race that is to control the government of any country, whether it be the United States, the Philippines, the West Indies or Africa itself."—Memphis Democratic daily paper. An influential journal rebukes the men at the national Democratic head. BOOSEVELT. ORDER NO. 78 0 quarters who are sending out to newspapers "coarse carpons" of President Roosevelt and say that they should quit it for "deceased sake, at once." We have indeed some of these coarse cartoons and they are remarkable for their absolute faulty and stupidity, only this and nothing more. They are the most harmless things that have appeared for a long time. While President McKinley and other Republican leaders hesitated in the unprepared condition of the country, the war was for immediate and unconditional war; but when the Spanish war was over and only the rightful authority of the government was to be maintained over its newly acquired possessions, the Democratic minds, an evidence for 1864, of imperialism. A few months ago the Mississippi legislature passed a law compelling the street railway companies of that state to provide Jim Clancy, their "Asian American" passengers. To the credit of the Afro-American people he is said that they are boycotting he cars, and the receipts of the companies are failing off alarmingly. He is a democratic legislature enacted the obnoxious law. Hon. Harry S. New of Indiana, who has had charge of the campaign in the West, has done excellent work as will be shown when he meets more people in Indiana than any man in the state and is deservedly popular. In case of Senator for Fairbanks' election as Vice President and there is little to be the next United States senator from Indiana. The Southern States are sharing in the general prosperity produced by the economic and financial policies adopted and maintained since 1896. This means that the Afro-Americans have space for their pride, accord to their well-informed people, at least 85 percent of the cotton crop, for which they are receiving nearly twice as much as under a Democratic administration. A Southern newspaper remarks that Afro-American suffrage not exist in the states of Columbia, which is controlled by the Republican Congress. Neither does white suffrage exist. There is no discrimination whatever. The election laws of the South made by Democrats are so constructed that men may vote, but Afro-Americans are debarred from their suffrage rights. The Atlanta. Constitution tells us that there was no debate over the "Jim Crow" street car bill when it came up in the committee of the legislature. "It went through like a flash." Any measure intended to humiliate and degrade the Afro-American people, when presented to Demo- With Mr. Parker it is different. His skills are thoroughly polygamous proximity lacking in true manhood and leadership. Parker actually got the nomination which he had sought on a "cowardly and straddling" system the boar for which he had played with loaded cows. He is something steely, deceptive, cowardly and utterly dishonest in the Parker campaign for the nomination. shows far more political sagacity than to score a point upon Mr. Roosevelt by so masterly, his statesmanship so unedict either by personal attacks is like goose-quill popgun. cratic lawmakers, goes through like a flash. The hard-fisted wage-earners are shouting for Roosevelt; the business men are longing for the election of Roosevelt; the sensible farmers are pulling for Roosevelt; many of them are willing for Bryan in 1900 are yelling for Bryan and the ladies, God bless them, are naming their babies "Theodore Roosevelt." The Southern Democrats say that they would like to get rid of the Afro-American laborers, yet nearly all of the states have statutes making a law to allow African Americans from the plantations, and the white planters would make it very warm for any person who attempted to separate them from their field hands. The curator of the Field Columbian Museum says that the mother Earth is 90, and we are old. Mother Earth is now in Parker, or any other man who is backed by such dangerous men as Tillman, Graves, Most, Vardaman and Jeff Davis, is elected to the presidency. According to the Atlanta Constitution, Afro-Americans produce about 85 of all the cotton raised in the South and add millions of dollars to the wealth of the country every year, and of all the workers and nonproductive and would wrest from them their citizenship. Pitchfork Tillman has the gall to charge that the Republican party intends to repeal the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. The Afro-American voters are willing to take chances with the party which has always stood for human liberty. The Tillman - Vardaman - Williams class of Southern Democrats ought to stop howling about "social equality" and turn their attention to something of importance. Why, for instance, do they not get their heads together and study up some plan to exterminate the boll weevil? The fact that the lowest element in the country, the old rebels and all who wish to oppress the Afro-American party, ought to be convinced all sensible Afro-Americans that the Democratic party is a good one to keep out of office. It is creditable alike to the race and party, that forty years after the abolition of slavery, under a Republican ad- --- --- --- PARKER. --- --- ministration, no less than 3,663 Afro-Americans are employed by the government at Washington, D. C., and their salaries aggregate $2,056,727 per annum. The spectacle of Parker weeping and walking over the Filipinos and desiring their independence, while his party disfranchises hundreds of thousands of American citizens, is a spectacle of hypocrisy which all history may be searched in vain to equal. Some women's club has proposed separate cars for women. If the system were adopted in the Southern United States, Crow car plan has been established by law, four kinds, of course, would be necessary to transport the people. If the adoption of "social equality" which the Southern fire eaters claim is one of the important issues of the campaign, means that decent Afro-Americans would be compelled to associate with such thugs as Tillman, we certainly are opposed to it. Hon. E. H. Deas will be the Republican candidate for Congress from the Sixth South Carolina District. He is quite a potent factor in the politics of his state and if elected, which we hope he will, he will be the only Afro-American in Congress. The Secretary of the Interior has been deluged with applications from persons who desire to secede from the State. The Freedman Hospital, Washington, "There is, however, no vacancy and no prospect of any. THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEA. THIS GOVERNMENT IS BASED UPON THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEA that EACH MAN, NO MATTER WHAT HIS RIGHT OR HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEF, IS ENTITLED TO BE TREATED ON HIS WORTH AS A MAN, NEITHER FAVORED NOR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF HIS POSITION.—President Rosevelt in his letter of acceptance, September 12, 1904. Senator Fairbanks, Republican candidate for Vice President takes great pride in relating that his first employer was an Afro-American contractor and that his fellow workmen were all Afro-Americans. The 'bugles have sounded the charge! Up, boys, and rout them; chase them from the Hadoop from the fence corners from every colon of vantage they may possess. About 400,000 Afro-American young men will be eligible to cast their first presidential votes in November. If these young men are wise they'll begin life right by voting the Republican ticket. --- The Afro-American is well represented in the customs and internal revenue service of the country. There are 258 employees and they draw from the government every year in salaries, $205,047. Do not sit down and dream that Roosevelt is sure of election. The empire is wide-wake and hustling. The only way to defeat Parker is by working hard for Roosevelt. Apathy and overconfidence caused the defeat of the Republican party in 1892. There is no apathy this year, but the danger from overconfidence is very great. There are 750 Afro-Americans employed in the Postoffice of the country under the Roosevelt administration and their salaries aggregate $611,140 per year. And now comes the Democratic shriek of "frumd." It is the old cry of "Stop theft" uttered by the thief himself to throw the people off their guard. Buckle on your armor, unsheath your sword, throw away your scab bard and wade into the thickest of the fight for right, determined to win victory. Three million dollars is a great sum. That's what the Afro-Americans who hold government positions draw every year under the Roosevelt administration. The South would be poor today without the black toilers, yet it is in the South that the Democrats have stolen the black men's rights. The Democratic party vindicates the rights of "brown men" in the Philippines, but destroys the rights of "black men" in America. No victory was ever won without a battle. Remember that and fight for Roosevelt and Fairbanks until the polls close November 8. --- When Congressman Heflin spoke of "Zoologos, or one of his kind," did he refer to himself? He is the leading anarchist of Alabama. "We stuffed ballot boxes, we shot them, we are not ashamed of it." Pitchock rhetorically in speech in the United States Senate. THE DOOR OF HOPE I cannot consti position that the door of opportunity upon any man, worthy, purely upo race or color.— PRESIDI 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.— AFRO-AMERICANS SHOULD SUPPORT ROOSEVELT & FAIRBANKS JAMES H. GUY, ESG. Attorney at Law, Topeka, Kansas. Organizer National Afro-American Council. To the Edition of The Appeal. Why Afro-American should support Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Because they are the exponents of the true principles and doctrines of Republicanism, principles that stand for justice, equal and free to all men, principles that favor a free and untrammeled suffrage, and equal political rights. Because their election will insure a continued prosperity in the commercial and financial world, a prosperity upon which depends the happiness and comfort of the American people. Because their election will demonstrate the fact that the people of this country are in favor of law and order and are opposed to the doctrines advocated by Vardaman and Tillman, the mouthpieces of the Southern Democracy. James H. Guy, Topeka, Kansas, October, 1904. HON. MIFFLIN W. GIBBS President Capital Saving Bank, Little Rock, Ark., Ex-Judge. To the Editor Of The Appeal. To support AfriArd Fairbanks. Because they represent in a distinctive manner the principles and needs of human freedom, political equality, and the righteousness of a free ballot and a fair count for every citizen of the republic. Because they are depicted by the representatives of a party, who fought four years for the purpose of destroying the Union and perpetuating slavery and are even now in portions of the South maintaining a system of peonage which is but slavery re-enacted. Because as loyal citizens, we take pride in the achievements and prowess of the American statesmanship abroad, and the heretofore unequal material developments at home under the leadership of Roosevelt. Because the Democratic party as exemplified by its Tillmans and Vardamans, is a stench in the nostril of the American conscience is a disgust to the national conscience. Because of Roosevelt's breadth of sympathy for the poor and oppressed as expressed in his aphorism, "All men up rather than some men down" and his interest in industrial education and his promoter, Booke Washington. What's the matter with Teddy! He's all right! Little Rock, Ark., October, 1904. HON. HENRY A. RUCKER. Collector of United States Internal Revenue, Atlanta, Georgia. To the Editor of The Appeal. Our Afro-American citizens do not wish the Constitution to be guaranteed by the Constitution and exercised by other races—Justice! They are opposed to being ruled by ignorance, whether the color of the ruler is white or black, or being ruled by injustice, whether the perpetrators are white people or black ones—Wrong! They are opposed to one interpretation of the law for a white criminal and an other for a black criminal—Eastern. They are opposed to paying for first class accommodations and then have second and third class fares forced on them—This is robbery! They believe in education, morality, whether in the black man or the white man should rank idleness, ignorance, sluggishness and depravity in either—Mert! They favor but one vote for each qualified elector and that one counted the equal to any other vote—Fair- They believe in the Federal Constitution and they have sacrificed their lives for its perpetuity—Patriotism! Roosevelt and Fairlanks and the Roosevelt party endorse this code of principles and colored men should endorse them with their ballots November 8th. The Democratic party is controlled by its Southern wing—Horrors! This wing feeds and fattens on race prejudice—Depravity! It's "Bible" contains but one text—"Keep the nigger down!" It stands for white supremacy and Negro degradation—Absurd! It stands for control by the classes—White! It invades the Afro-American of a ballot and leaves him no means of defense—Outrageous! It prejudges the Afro-American and in every case of conflict between the races finds him at fault—Preposterous! Then crime is committed and the perpetrator is unknown, if begins search for a "nigger" instead of a criminal—Unfairness! These are Democrats—These are Parker and Davis Democrats—These Democrats should be defeated by ballot cast by Afro-American. H. A. Rucker, Atlanta, Ga. October, 1904. HON. EDWARD H. MORRIS. Attorney at Law, Chicago, Member Illinois Legislature. To the Editor of The Appeal. Why Afro-Americans Should Support Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Roosevelt and Fairbanks stand for and represent a higher type of true American citizenship than any of the other candidates for the two highest positions in the gift of the people. They have the courage to do the right as they see it. They have the influence by one side of the country to shut their eyes to the wrongs inflicted upon any citizen. The party whose vanguards they are, comes nearer making an honest offer to the president, before the law, than any other party. The party which nominated them does not draw its life and vitality from race prejudice, instead, Edward W. Morris. Chicago, Ill. October, 1994. S. P. PEAKER, ESQ. Prominent Worker in the Interest of the Race in Connecticut. To the Editor of The Appeal. In reply to your question, "Why Afro-Americans Should Support Roosevelt and Falkenbars?" I have to say that while the question is pertinent at this time, the answer would seem a waste of time and space in making reply to do more than to refer to the present attitude of the two great political parties on the so-called race problem. If Judge Parker should be elected president he would be dominated by the South, which is the body and strength of the Democratic party of the country, and with the Morgan, Tillman, Vardaman coterie in the Southern states at the helm, the door of hope of Afro-Americans seeking relief from inhuman, illegal and unconstitutional practices in the South, would be indefinitely closed. To elect Theodore Roosevelt President of the United States is to elect a man who has declared himself upon the question of human liberty, in language which I believe so far as he is concerned is irrevocable. Mr. Roosevelt has said: "If I could be absolutely assured of my election as President by turning my back on the prince, I would be abashed by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it and unit for president if I were capable of doing it." S. P. Peaker. New Haven, Conn., October, 1904. HON. EDWARD H. WRIGHT. Why Afro-Americans Should Support Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Because they are the candidates of the Republican party—which stands for the equality of all citizens before the law, regardless of race, previous residence, or habitat within the United States. Because the Republican party, in its platform, favors the enforcement of the Constitution of the United States and is opposed to permitting the vote of a person for as much as three men's votes in the North and West in deciding the votes of States in the electoral college and in the election of members of the House of Representatives in Congress. Because Theodore Roosevelt is the most conspicuous representative of the ideal American citizen; he has faith in the future of his country; he stands for right and justice for all Americans; he is partially against the rich and the poor and he gives the protection of the laws to rich and poor alike. Because the Republican party has brought prosperity to our country and has made Afro-American can not be prosperous unless the country enjoys prosperity. Because the Democratic party stands for no principles that mean the progress and advancement of the American either politically or industrially. Because the past history of our country show the Democratic party who is in what position, legislator or executing the laws in such a way as to bring happiness to the citizen or prosperity to our country. Wright. Chicago III. October, 1804. S. LAING WILLIAMS. ESQ. Attorney at Law, Chicago, Treasurer, The Brotherhood Insurance Co. To the Editor of The Appeal. Why Afro-Americanists Should Vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. First, because to vote against Roosevelt, we would be to approve every disfranchisement law and other race discriminant measures passed by the Southern wing of the Democratic party. Second, because to vote against Roosevelt is a vote to increase the power of the Hillman, and in other reactionary politician in the Southern democracy. Third, because Roosevelt stands for the wide open door of opportunity for all men and his opponents for the open door for only some men. Fourth, Roosevelt believes in giving the war amendments; his opponents believe either in repealing such amendments or nullifying the liberty-giving spirit that brought them into being. Fifth, Roosevelt stands for the merit of all men, his opponents stand for the merit of only some men. Sixth, Roosevelt, character is everything, with his opponents, color is everything. Seventh, with Roosevelt the Golden Rule and the Declaration of Independence must be a vital part of all our national policies, with his opponent, John Kennedy, holding brass and the Declaration of Independence means nothing for colored men. Finally, Afro-Americans, must either vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks, or vote against themselves and their posterity. 8. Laing Williams. Chicago, Ill, October, 1904.

Hckman, Dillingham, Wills and Barker were appointed to draft constitution and bylaws and report subject to call of chairman. Mr. Markham who 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 served as 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.

Mr. Hallam, by reason of his wide acquaintance, personal popularity and high standing as a lawyer, will make a formidable candidate for the bench. Vote for him. Republican Candidate for Probate Judge. The best recommendation for Hon. E. W. Bazille, the present Judge of the Probate Court, who seeks a re-election is his former excellent record in that trying and important position. Judge Bazille has made one of the most fair and impartial Judges who ever sat upon the Probate bench. He is painstaking and careful in the most important cases and has brought the most remarkable judicial wisdom. The Republicans of Ramsey County cannot well do otherwise than to re-elect Judge Bazille. 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 can receive every inch 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 won. 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.

Foot, senior member of the well-known manufacturing firm of Foot Schulz & Co., of this city. The office of county treasurer is one of the most important in Ramsey county, and the law requires that E.

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 the leading bonding companies of the county stand ready to furnish that bond the very instant Mr. Foot qualifies as treasurer of Ramsey county. Vote for him. HOWARD WHEELER. Republican Candidate for County Attorney, Howard Wheeler, the Republican candidate for county attorney, is well and favorably known throughout the county. He was born in St. Paul, and enjoys the distinction of being the youngest man ever elected to the assembly, and of leading his ticket by a large majority on both occasions of his election. While a member of that body he was on the floor, and made a valuable record as an agent, honest and capable official. Mr. Wheeler is an able young lawyer and would make an excellent county attorney. Vote for him. JOHN T. ROSENTHAL. Republican Candidate for Representative 34th District. John T.

Nicholas Potttgier, present member of the board of county commissioners, is well known in Ramsey county, having held various offices in the last twenty years. He was a member of the county board twenty years ago. In 1804 he was elected to the state senate and served two sessions. He was appointed to the board of public works by the late Col. A. R. Kfefer, and two years ago was elected a member of the board of county commissioners. Mr. Potttgier's friends claim that he has always cared for the public's interest while in office, and for that reason deserves a second term. Mr. Potttgier has declared himself on the good roads question. "I am in favor of taking care of the existing roads," said Mr. Pottgieser, "and at the same time making all the permanent improvements possible. I am heartily in favor of setting aside a small amount each year from the road and bridge fund for repairs and expending the balance on permanent gravel or macadam roads. The amount set aside for permanent improvements, in my opinion, should not be touched for any other purpose."

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 evaluation of the auditor and made the office of his office, and has inaugurated certain reforms which the public interests require shall be continued uninterruptedly to a successful conclusion. In the truest sense of 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 8.

Hanson, Secretary of State—Sir; Pursuant to Chapter 157 of the General Laws of 1887 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 of the General Session of the Legislature in 1903, and an act involving the taxation of railroad property, being Chapter 253, General Laws 1903, to be submitted to the voters of the state for adoption or rejection at the next general election. Yours respectfully. W. J. DONAHOWER Attorney General. Synopses of Amendments to the Constitution of the State of Minnesota Proposed by the Legislature of the State of Minnesota at the Session in 1903, as proposed by a Synopsis of Laws of 1883 of the General Laws of 1903 Proposing an Increase of Gross Earnings Tax Upon Railroad Property: Pursuant to the provisions of Section 32 (a) of Article 4 of the Constitution, the Legislature, by an act approved on January 23, 2003 of the General Laws of 1903, present to the electors of the state for rejection or approval the following, to wit: railroad company owning or operating any line of railway situated within, or partly within, the state of 1903, and annually thereafter pay into the treasury of this state in lieu of all taxes and assessments upon all property owned by railway purposes by such company, including equipment, appurtenances, appendages and cloaks, and the amount equal to the cent of the gross earnings derived from the operation of such line of railway within this state; and in lieu of all other taxes and assessments derived from the operation of such line of railway within this state; and in full and in lieu of all other taxes and assessments taxed. The lands acquired and franchisee so taxed. The lands acquired and franchisee so taxed remain exempt from taxation until sold or contracted to be sold, or conveyed, as provided in the respective acts whereby such grants were Sec. 2. The term "the gross earnings derived from the open account" as used in section 1 of this act, is hereby declared and shall be construed as the meaning and ending within this state, and a proportion, based upon the proportion of the total mileage over which such business is done, of earnings on all interstate business passing through, into Sec. 3. All acts and parts of acts not inconsistent herewith regulating the payment, amount or reports involving the amount of taxes upon the gross earnings of railroad companies in the district court for the nonpayment of such taxes, are hereby made applicable to all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed. Upon failure to pay the amount of such taxes legally due upon the date heretofore provided by the district court to existing remedies, collection may be enforced in a civil action brought in the name of the State of Illinois in the district court of the county. Sec. 5. Before any railroad company shall be heard the validity of this act or any part thereof, such railroad company shall as a condition precedent thereto, pay into the amount of taxes due or payable from such railroad company under the existing provisions of this state applicable to the company. Sec. 6. This act shall be submitted to the people of this state in the next general election for the year 1904. (The omitted provisions refer to the method of printing 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 full and in lie uof all other taxes and assessments upon the property so taxed. The lands acquired by public grant shall be and remain as before except from the tolls withdrawn, be sold or conveyed, as provided in said acts where such grants were recorcized. 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 where 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 on such taxes, is the property of its movable property by the State Treasurer, and sale of sufficient thereof to satisfy the state's claim. This new 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 the company for punched 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 March 10, 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 4 of the Constitution of the State of Minnesota The existing provision of the Consti- tution ought to be amend- ed, reads as follows: "Sec. 6.

The town, district, county, village or city in this state at the time of issuing the bonds from any liability for taxation to pay It is proposed by said Chapter 25 of the General Laws of 1903 to amend said Section 6 of Article 8 of the Constitution of the State of Minnesota so as to read (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 loans or investments be made when the bonds to be issued or purchased should make the entire bond of the debentess exceed fifteen (15) percent of the assessed valuation of the taxable real property of the county, school district, city, town or village of the county, such bonds; nor shall a lower loans or indebtedness be made to a lower rate of interest than the other percent per annum, nor for a shorter period than five years for a year for a longer period than twenty (20) years, and no change of the county, school district, city, village or county lines shall relieve the other property in such town, school district, county, village or county in this state at the time the issuing of such bonds from any liability for taxation to pay such bonds.

State or Minnesota. The section as now existing reads as follows: Sec. 7. "No person shall be held to answer for a criminal offense on the prosecution of such an offense except in cases of impeachment, in cases cognizable by justices of the peace, or arising in the case in actual service in time of war or public danger; and no person for the same offense shall be proclaimed in jeopardy in any criminal case to be witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, unless before conviction be bailable by sufficient sureties except for capital offences, when the proof is sufficient, and the privilege of writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless, when in case of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may re It is proposed, by said act, to amend Section 7 so as to require that a person shall be held to answer for a criminal offense without due process, and that the offense shall be put twice in jeopardy of punishment, nor shall be compelled to answer against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process. The provisions of the procedure be bailable by sufficient sureties, except for capital offences when the person is and the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended in violation of the public safety may require. 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, a warrant issued by a justice of the peace, it is proposed to constitute any procedure by the legislature may due process of law. In other words, the legislature will have 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 establishes specifically the manner and form of holding a person to answer for a criminal act. If the proposed constitutional amendment is adopted the legislature may then, within proper constitutional limits, adopt a new method of procedure. Dated St. Paul, Minn., July 1st, 1904 ST. PAUL.
