Beaten and cursed, I see thee bound with chains, Thy red blood glistening in the sun's hot ray. I hear thy piteous cries for help from God; Heartsore and tired you toll your weary way. Sad Ethiopia. I see thee broken The shack heart Ignorant and know To your I strand Fry The years still Proud in and Doing the right Working once Pre And now years Scaling the tower Climbing pray Spurned by is w Br I see thee when that God sent martyr broke The shackles from your wrist and heart strings too. Ignorant and dumb how could you know the way. To your poor, darkened minds so strangely new. Free Ethiopia. The years have passed, I see thee still again; Proud in your strength, intelligent and brave. Doing the right as you can see the right; Working God's will—Was this man once a slave? Proud Ethiopia. And now I see thee—in the future years, Scaling the heights with eyes turned towards the sun; Climbing and ever climbing, oft in prayer Spurned by no man—Freedom at last is won. Brave Ethiopia. A. V. Hall. On Monday evening last a Testimonial meeting was given in honor of Rev. Horace Graves at the St. James A. M. E. Church. The services were quite interesting as well as entertaining. Lawyer MeeG in speaking of Rev. Graves said that he had developed from a small preacher from Iowa to a great Rev. H. Graves, by his connection with his charge in St. Paul, Rev. Graves has done a great work in St. Paul, a work that is appreciated by its best citizens white as well as colored. He has fearlessly attacked the constant encroachment of race prejudice, which wins for him many friends among liberty loving people of both races. Father Le Altead was present at the testimonial with forceful and eloquent words of commendation for the work of Rev. Graves. The services on last evening at the Pilgram Baptist church was of a superlative degree in spite of the absence of Rev. McDonald. The Afro-American Business Men's League met last week at the Busy Corner. While the entire outline of their work is not known there is every reason to expect its success and prove to be a strong uplift to the race as a whole. The colored citizens of St. Paul are making long strides towards the organization of an Independent Political League.

Andrew Jackson, a Pullman porter, was arrested on the arrival of his train, and charged with disorderly conduct, on account of his undue familiarity with one of his lady passengers while in her berth. This man, is one of the few, who are in the service who reflect discredit on the many trustworthy employees of the company, and they should be made to suffer. This is a lesson.

The Pullman company's information is that he is one of the new men in the service and not of the Minneapolis district. A special from New York City passes through enroute to the coast this week.

The Emancipation celebration Thursday was a huge success in every way, and no amount of words could express the praise due those who aided in making it a success, and that includes nearly all of Duluth's population.

Miller, the Republican candidate from this district polled practically the entire negro vote at the last Congressional election. If there was reason for voting for Mr. Miller then, there is twice as much reason for voting for him now. On questions affecting the Negro he voted yea when yea meant something to our interest. Much of the agitation against Mr. Miller at present is mere political buncombe and so far as we are concerned, amounts to naught. Vote for Miller and the BIG EXPOSITION In 1913 which will put the negro on the Commercial, Literary, Financial and Political map. The vote among negroes in Duluth is worth more than a single janitorship or eight or ten days on a jury and it is just about time the negroes in Duluth awakened to the fact. Your vote will never be worth a dried apple dam if you have to play a favorite all the time. Several well known men should know by now how much credence to put in pre-election promises of the present powers that be. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to vote to keep in power men that have no regard for you or will you get out in the open and fight. Show your colors, that the race may not lose a single place. John R. Meining, a local travelling man for the Duluth Candy Company is again making the run for Sheriff against Sheriff Wm. Bates, with a good chance of "winning out." John is a good clean cut, square up and up man and it might help some if there were a few changes made at the County Court House. You know what to expect from the old Regime—NOTHING. What's the answer? Try some one else. By King Kelley. MINNEAPOLIS LOCAL NOTES. MARSHALL AND STEWART. "Two Natural Comedians," were billed at the Orpheum this week, and made a hit.

Colonel Rosevelt said: "The issue of the day is the struggle of free men to gain and hold the right of self-government as against special interests who twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will." "We must drive the special interests of politics. That is one of our tasks today. Every special interest is entitled to justice—full, fair and complete—but not one is entitled to a vote in congress, a voice on the bench or to representation in any public office." Where are all of our Colored Politicians? "There ain't going to be no core." FOR RENT. Cottage—4 rooms furnished, will rent reasonably to small family.

Colored Woman at Home to Friends on Her Hundredth Birthday. MRS. MARY HUNTER. Taking the day off from her work and spending it in her "front room" surrounded by a thousand little gifts from many friends, Mrs. Mary Hunter, a colored woman, who is known to her friends and acquaintances as "Aunt Mary," quietly passed her one hundredth birthday at her home, 125 Holden street, today. For many years she has been a familiar figure in Minneapolis. Her rooms are filled with tokens from her "white folkis friends," so full, indeed, that a visitor has some difficulty in walking about the place. Today she is "at home," and those who call are treated to a story of a life that began in the early part of the nineteenth century. Born In Asheville. Aunt Mary was born at Asheville, N. C., Sept. 17, 1810, and spent the early part of her life in the beautiful mountains surrounding that city. Born in slavery, she continued the property of one of the leading families of that state until freed after the civil war. She was no ordinary "field hand," but spent most of her life as woman in waiting to the feminine household. After the war she came north, and finally reached Minneapolis, where she has lived for the last twenty years. The remarkable features of the woman's life is her strong vitality for one of her years. Her home is a workhouse and every day except Sunday a workday. Each morning is given over to toil and the afternoon to rest and entertaining her friends, most of whom are "white folks," as Aunt Mary fondly calls her visitors. In the rear of the chime is her workshop, a washroom, where she, losing none of her cunning as a laudress, turns out daily a large bundle of immaculate linen. Her patrons are among the wealthy people of the city and she also does work for several churches. Aunt Mary is devotedly religious and attends services regularly. She is a Catholic and frequently is a communicant at the early morning mass. She is an habitual walker and easily walks a mile carrying a bundle of linen. About the early scenes of her childhood, she remembers much and delights to recite stories of "the great days of the old south, before the war." Yesterday she told of a large banquet and barbecue given in honor of Henry Clay at Asheville in the forties. "The feast was spread in a woods about three miles from town on the banks of the Swanana river, and half the people of the state, both white and black, were present," said Mrs. Hunter. "After the barbecue they had a dance on a platform and the celebration was one of the biggest ever held in the town." Mrs. Hunter has been a widow for years, and lives alone. She is held in great regard by those who know her best, and the neighbors never tire of telling of the vitality of the aged woman. Miss Beulah Corneal, one of our best known young women, and a recognized social leader, will represent the Twln City star. This young lady has accepted this opportunity to identify herself with a business, which is entirely familiar to her, and she will receive the support of her friends.

Despite the battering of the whirlpool rapids, Larsen went through safely, but his boat was leaking badly at the finish and through the trip. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, in a speech at Syracuse, N. Y., boldly challenged the opponents of his political doctrines to come out in the open and fight if they dared. He prophesied that if they did they would be beaten. The colonel also warmly commended President Taft as a public official and expressed his approval of a number of the accomplishments of the Taft administration. Congressman Henry Sherman Boutell was defaced for the Republican nomination for congress in the Ninth Circuit in Ledderick H. Gansbergen in the Illinois Court. Returns indicate that the men who voted William Lorimer, for senator in the general assembly, both Republican and Democratic, gained a sweeping victory. Even the men who were drawn into the "jackpot" investigation have been renominated by overwhelming majorities except in perhaps two instances. Eight persons, five women and three men were more or less seriously injured when Arthur Moxsey's Wright aeroplane swerped sidelong from its course above the race track and plunged 'in the crowd on the cement platform before the grandstand, at the state fair at Milwaukee. The aviator was uninjured, and the machine but slightly. James Lane, a candidate for probate judge in Madison county, Illinois, who died a week ago, was nearly nominated at the primaries. His friends remained loyal to him even in death. Dr. William Henry Wilcox, scientific analyst to the home office, who discovered a deadly drug in the residence of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, took the stand when the tril of the accused man and his typist, Ethel Clara Leneve, for the murder of the former's wife was continued at London and swore that death was caused by poison. Two shots were fired into the government's carriage at Pointa-Pitre-Gueldeoule. The occupants, who were the president of the court and other officials, were not injured. The as salient escaped. GUUNTRY ALL RIGHT A STRIKINGLY STRONG ARTICLE BY COL. HARVEY THE WRITER SEES NO CLOUD "A Plea for the Conservation of Common Sense" That is Meeting With Cordial Approval. A strikingly strong article by Colonel George Harvey in the North American Review, for September, is written in a view of such hopefulness for the American future that it has attracted wide attention. The article is entitled, "A Plea for the Conservation of Common Sense" and is issued by such hopefulness proclaim of business men of all shades of political opinion throughout the entire country. In part Colonel Harvey says: "Unquestionably a spirit of unrest dominates the land. But, if it be true that fundamentally the condition of the country is sound, must we necessarily succumb to despondency, abandon effort looking to retrieval and cringe like cravens before clouds that only threaten? Rather ought we not to analyze conditions, search for causes, find the root of the disasters, and find the men's minds, and then, after the American fashion, apply such remedies as seems most likely to produce beneficent results? Capital and Labor Not Antagonistic "The Link that connects labor with capital is not broken but we may not deny that it is less cohesive than it should be or than conditions warrant. Financially, the country is stronger than ever before in its history. Recovery from a panic so severe as that of three years ago was never before so prompt and comparatively complete. The masses are practically free from debt. Money is held by the banks in abundance and rates are low. "Why, then, does capital pause upon the threshold of investment? The answer, we believe, to be plain. It awaits adjustment of the rate." The sole problem consists of determining how government can maintain an even balance between aggregations of interests, on the one hand, and the whole people, on the other, protecting the latter against extortion and saving the former from mad assaults. "The solution is not easy to find for the simple reason that the situation is without precedent. But is it possible to solve along same and cautious lines?" Conserve Common Sense. "Is not the present, as we have seen, exceptionally secure? What, then, of preparations for the future? Patriotism is the basis of our institutions. And patriotism in the minds of our youth is no longer linked solely with fireworks and deeds of daring. It is taught in our schools. A new course has been added—a course in loyalty. Methodically, our children learn how to vote, how to conduct primaries, conventions and elections, how to discriminate between qualifications of candidates and, finally, how to govern as well as serve. They are taught to despise bribery and all forms of corruption and fraud as treason. Their creed, which they are made to know by heart, is not complex. It is simple, but comprehensive, no less beautiful in diction than lofty in inspiration. These are the pledges which are graven upon their memories: "As it is cowardly for a soldier to run away from battle, so it is cowardly for any citizen not to contribute his share to the well-being of his country. America is my own dear land; she nourishes me, and I will love her and do my duty to her, whose child, servant and civil soldier I am. "As the health and happiness of my body depend upon each muscle and nerve and drop of blood doing its work in its place, so the health and happiness of my country depend upon each citizen doing his work in his place. "These young citizens are our hostages to fortune. Can we not safely assume that the principles animating their lives augur well for the permanency of the Republic? When before have the foundation stones of continuance been laid with such care and promise of durability? "The future, then, is bright. And the present? But one thing is needful. No present movement is more laudable than that which looks to conservation of natural resources. But let us never forget that the greatest inherent resource of the American people is Common Sense. Let that be conserved and applied without cessation, and soon it will be found that all the ills of which we complain but know not of are only such as attend upon the growing pains of a great and blessed country. Spiritualization. Religion should be native. It should be concrete and applicable. Religion is the natural expression of living, not a set of actions or of habits, or a posture of the mind added to the daily life. The type of religion, therefore, is conditioned on the kind of living, and the kind of living is conditioned, in its turn, very largely on the physical and economic effectiveness of lice. The religion of the open country should run deep into the indigenous affairs of the open country. Immune "I never worry about my health any more." "How lucky you are. Don't you ever feel ill!" "Oh, yes, often; but I've had all the operations it is possible to undergo." Of Course. "They say a woman always reads a love story backward." "I take no stock in that claim. If so, the managers would be giving plays with the last act first."—Louisville Courier-Journal. TWIN CITY STAR. HEADS MINNESOTA DEN JAMES M. JAMES GRAY. JAMES GRAY IN PLAGE OF LIND NEWSPAPER MAN TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR. Says He Will Accept the Nomination and Make a Hard St. Paul. — Hon. James Gray, editorial writer of the Minneapolis Journal, was selected by the Democratic State Central Committee as the Democratic candidate for governor. The selection was approved by John Lind. The former mayor also is said to have been the choice of Chairman Frank A. Day. "I expect to accept," said James Gray when notified of his nomination. "I do not believe I care to say anything more than that I expect to make a vigorous campaign for the office. The whole thing has come on me so suddenly that I have not had time to make any plans. The first intimation I had of this action was last Monday. I expect to make a more extensive statement to the state central committee as soon as I receive official information of my nomination." Rumors that the committee would endeavor to pass a resolution in favor of county option started a buzz of conversation on the floor of the hotel lobby, but the report was denied. It is understood that Mr. Gray will appeal to the country as a county option candidate, but no effort will be made to change the Democratic platform. Previous to that Chairman Day had read John Lind's letter declining the nomination, and his resignation was accepted upon a motion read by Daniel Daily of Minneapolis. "I confess I am somewhat disappointed that Mr. Gray's selection," said Ralph W. Wheelock, governor's secretary. "Having been vindicated in my opinion expressed several months ago that Mr. Lladd would not be the Democratic candidate, I was in hopes that my further opinion that Mr. Day himself was the logical leader of his party in this campaign, would also be justified. "Mr. Gray's selection, however, ought to insure a campaign free from personalities and like tactics, for in frequent co-operation with him in municipal matters in Minneapolis, I have always found him to be a gentleman and a scholar." John Lind voted the note of county option in the committee meeting. Called upon for a speech, Mr. Lind briefly enumerated why he couldn't accept the nomination. He said a victory by Democracy must be won by some candidate of whom it could not be said was elected for a personal reason. AGENT DAVIS ARRESTED AGAIN. Cass Lake.—James Davis, government agent engaged to keep intoxicants from the Indians, was arrested at Bemidjil, charged with having threatened Charles Argale of state counsel in the case of A. A. Oliver, who accused Davis of assault in the seizure of Oliver's grip. Davis pleaded guilty and was ordered to furnish a $300 peace bond, which he has not yet furnished. State Tests For Cattle. Minneapolis. — The Minnesota state sanitary board will begin a regular inspection of cattle in Minneapolis dairies. J. H. Lyle, city milk inspector, has received word that arrangements are being made to send inspectors away once. The inspection will be monthly. Under the rules to be adopted by the board, every herd will be given a thorough test. The dairymen will not be allowed to add cattle to the inspected herd without having them examined first by the state officers. Minneapolis.-Because he broke his back in three places Gustaf Jacobsen is suing the city of Minneapolis for $61,500. About two month ago Jacobsen fell into a sewer, breaking his back in three places. In Judge Booth's court, in Minneapolis, Jacobsen was wheeled in in an invalid's undress. He was unable to help himself in any way, being entirely dependent on his friends for the simplest service, apparently. The city alleged that Jacobson was guilty of contributory negligence in his accid --- State Tests For Cattle. Susan Mill City For $61,500 REFORM SCHOOL HEAD CLEARED. Charges Made Declared False by Board of Control. St. Paul. — Mrs. Fanny French Morse is heartily praised by the state board of control. Her work at the Girl's Industrial school at Red Wing is commended. Two specific charges which were made against the management of the school were found to have a little foundation, but the general charge that the discipline has become lax, that conditions generally were bad, that the morals of the school were rapidly deteriorating, was found to be unmetalized by facts. Mrs. Morse asserted charge of the institution on Aug. 1, 1910, and 30 days after her installation the charges were made. In its report the board condemns the criticism directed against Mrs. Morse, after her coming to Minnesota. It deplores the fact that a person coming here as a stranger to cope with conditions that are extremely difficult, should not have received proper assistance and co-operation. must stand pat for it. Equal rights to all, no special privileges for any. We must restore the rights of the people." Sero and Davis Convicted at Cass Lake for Assault on Editor Oliver. Cass Lake.—The trial of Indian Agents Sero and Davis was held here. Oliver was defended by Argall, while Assistant United Stated District Attorney E. S. Oakley appeared for the defendants. Half a dozen witnesses were examined. The evidence showed that the agents struck Oliver and knocked him down after getting off a train at Benna while attending to his duties as state law appraiser. The court imposed a fine of $100 and costs, or in default of payment, sixty days in jail. The fine was not paid and the men put in the lockup here. It is not known now what, if any, proceedings will be taken by Oakley in the agents' behalf. Davis pleaded guilty to using threat ening language against Attorney Argall in a local saloon Saturday evening, and was required to furnish a bond for $300 to keep the peace for six months. Being unable to furnish bail, commitment papers were made out tonight by Justice Ives sentencing Davis to the county jail at Walker, where he will be taken tomorrow morning. WALKER POSTOFFICE ROBBED. Burglaries Use Dynamite and Get a Rich Haul. Walker. — A gang of burglaries dynamited the Walker postoffice and made away with about $2,000 in money and over $800 in stamps. Entrance to the building was gained through the basement and the job has all the appearance of being the work of professionals. The safe was not only cleaned of cash and stamps but the money drawn from捆 and all registered letters taken were in well. Two suspicious characters were in town last evening which is the only clue the police have at present. MAN KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT. Two Other Freeborn County, Minn., Residents are Injured. Albert Lea. — John Yost was killed in an automobile accident at Cresco and Mrs. Mrs. Charles Marpe were seriously injured. They are prominent residents of Freeborn county. The machine skidded and the driver lost control. Yost had been active in political work. The latter is not expected to live. Mrs. Marpe is dangerously hurt. Red Wing Elects.

'Like the rest of you, eh?' Pierp's Appetite. J. P. Morgan, Sr., was always a good trencherman in his youth and he has as good an appetite today as he ever had, not only for corned beef and cabbage—his favorite dish—but for other foods.

PUZZLED Hard Work, hardness, to Raise Children. Children's taste is oftimes more accurate, in selecting the right kind of food to fit the body, than that of adults. Nature works more accurately through the children. A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy had long been troubled with weak digestion. We could never persuade him to take more than one taste of any kind of cereal food. He was a weak little chap and we were puzzled to know what to feed him on. "One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts. Well, you never saw a child eat with such a relish, and it did me good to see him. From that day on it seemed as though we could almost see him grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper, and I think he would have liked the food for dinner. "The difference in his appearance is something wonderful. "My husband had never fancied cereal foods of any kind, but he became very fond of Grape-Nuts and has been much improved in health since using it. "We are now a healthy family, and naturally believe in Grape-Nuts. "A friend has two children who were formerly afflicted with rickets. I was satisfied that the disease was caused by lack of proper nourishment. They showed it. So I urged her to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the result was almost magical. "They continued the food and today both children are well and strong as any children in this city, and, of course, my friend is a firm believer in Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence before her eyes every day."

Although Nye carried only six of the 13 wards, his majorities in most instances were heavier than those secured by Mr. Hall in the seven wards he carried. Thomas P.

Indications from the few county returns now in are that the Dwyer majority will be defeated. The Nye-Hall contest was one of the most bitterly fought curing the primaries. Hall repeatedly attacked Nye on his record in congress, terming him a supporter of Cannon.

In Minneapolis probably the most sensational victories were won by Cayman in the Forti-ty district over E. P. Allen and W. S. Dwinnell in the Forti-ty, over C. A. Nimocks and Guy V. Howard.

Wright was nominated for senator, while J. W. Mason appears to have won out over his opponents in the race for district judge. One of the surprising results was the victory of J. D.

STORY OF "TOPSY" HARTSEL Veteran Outfielder of Philadelphia Athletics Was Handicapped at Start Because of Size. By "Tonay" Hartaal By "Topsy" Harttsl. A took me a long time to get started right in baseball, but only a minute to start. The greatest handicap I had when I was trying to get started was my size. You see down at Polk, O., they thought I was a great player and we had an old player there who taught me to play the game. I began playing before I was ten years old, and was on the high school and town teams when I was fifteen. I was five feet four inches tall and weighed them about 125 pounds. I played around with the teams in our section of the country, and was determined to become a professional player. We had few chances to learn much, and when I finally got a job with the Burlington, la. club in 1897, I must have been as green a "busher" as there was. I was fast, but in that league they seemed to think I was too small to play, and I went to Montgomery, to to Salem, Ohio, and finally reached Grand Rapids, Mich. It was there I really started. The Grand Rapids team then was a sort of farm for big J ("Topsy") Hartsel. league clubs and a bunch of experienced and really good players were there. I learned rapidly then, and began to see where I was rhy. I found I had been making mistakes and misplaying the game in many ways and still thinking I was doing it right because I had never had me how I should do. Louisville took me from Grand Rapids, then Indianapolis got me, and finally I landed with the Chicago National league team. I think I played better ball there than I ever did. Besides I had learned a whole lot about batting and had a good opportunity to study pitchers. It was at Chicago that I had my best hitting year, and my best base running seasons, and I attribute all my success there to the study of the opposing pitchers. A base runner especially ought to be familiar with every trick and move of every opposing pitcher. I found that out when I went into the American league in 1902 with the Athletics. Many of the pitchers were new to me and I made many breaks in base running before I learned their styles and their tricks. I had to begin all over again to study them, and it did me more good than before, because of the experience in the National league. Experience and close study of the game and the men who play it are necessary to success, and if there is any lesson in my experience in getting started that may be of value to new men it is that any man no matter how good, must think and study all the time. The starting is easy, for players are in demand—but the finish is quick unless the player is willing to work and learn. PLAY BASEBALL AT NIGHT Two La Crosse Teams Battle for Two Hours by Aid of Artificial Light Without Inconvenience. C. A. Comiskey's recently installed lights received their first real tryout at the American league grounds in Chicago the other night, when the Illinois Athletic club and Calumet lacrosse teams battled for over two hours in a fast match in the glare of over 1,000,000 candle power of light which constitutes a portion of the light plant that will give Chicago night baseball in the near future. The plant proved "self equal to the occasion, for the test held up to what was expected. The Illinois A. C. won the game, 11 to 10, but this fact was lost to view in the confusion resulting from the pronounced success of the light plant—and at that the grounds were curtailed and only half the power was to use. At no time during the 80 minutes of play did the players find it hard to follow the ball, but the game proved as fast and as interesting as if it had been played in the broad daylight. No complaint was heard from the players and with the roof lights uncovered the contestants were in no way bothered by the force of the lamps. Rise of "Lefty" Russell Russell, the much-talked-about Baltimore (eastern) league pitcher, who has been captured by Connie Mack for fall delivery at a reputed purchase price of $1,000, first attracted the attention of the Baltimore owners when pitching for a Sunday school nine. Last year Russell was with the Hagerstown team, an independent organization. He was the first to clean up everything that appeared before him and it was not long before Manager Dunn got him. Since the start of the current season Russell has shown phenomenal form, and with perfect support would have lost but one game during the entire season. Attention Sick Women If you had positive proof that a certain remedy for female ills had made many remarkable cures, would you not feel like trying it? If during the last thirty years we have not succeeded in convincing every fair-minded woman that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands and thousands of women of the ills peculiar to their sex, then we long for an opportunity to do so by direct correspondence. Meanwhile read the following letters which we guarantee to be genuine and truthful. Hudson, Ohio.—I suffered for a long time from a weakness for headache. I publically admitted that I had been doctoring and receiving only temporary relief, when a friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so, and wrote to you for advice.

KELLEY, General Representative "Head of Lakes", Duluth, Minn. TO OUR VOTERS. Now, that the election is drawing near, our people in the Twin Cities are being looked upon. And they know why. The white man wants your vote. Do you know its value? Are you willing to promiscuously present it to him? Consider carefully, and act accordingly! You should know its worth. They have disfriended negroes in certain parts for this reason,—that his vote was his defense. If properly exercised, this right which you hold, will place in power the men, who can help you, if they keep promises after election. The days of reconstruction are past. The negro is in his "Era of Political Freedom." Vote for your personal interest, and you will vote for your race's welfare. This does not mean "a small sum of money," but for the men who stand for the principles of right. Assert your individuality, regardless of party. The negro has been the automatic property of the Republicans, without fair compensation, and has not given his support to Democrats, who have individually, helped his race. "Right of suffrage" is your only constitutional right. Be not bound to a party. The party of a few years ago may be different today. The principles of yesterday are changed today. The candidate who stands for right and justice to all men, regardless of color or conditions, who knows the policies of Lincoln and Grant, and lives up to them. Who does not recite history, but promises to give to your people their share of consideration after election, is the man you should vote for. DO YOU KNOW HIM? Show your strength, by your vote. Our Self-Appointed Leaders. Too much in the past, it has been the habit of our country to let any man do what he wanted, without regard to other men. We have got to that state when we must consider the interest of all—Roosevelt. Al. J. Smith won the nomination for County Attorney much to the regret of the Colored voters of Hennepin County. He polled about 36% of the entire vote. The way he "piled up" in the outlaying districts was "killing to the opposition". Well, he is better than a thousand Crawfords. Congressman Nye is a lucky man, at least Tawney thinks so. Our best citizens are interested in the New Negro Political Movement. So candidates must "come clean with the right goods." There are many Colored voters of this district, who are willing to say that they supported Albert H. Hall, and he has many friends. We supported Mr. Hall and are not ashamed. When Congressman Nye realizes that he has not the colored voters in his hand, he will have more consideration for them. He has an idea that the Negroes MUST support him. There is not enough interest taken in Negro representation in these parts. Is there a Negro receiving any recognition from the 5th district of Minnesota? When the colored voters of this district organize and unite under the leadership of one or a Committee, they will be Represented. Where is you leader? The "old guard" of the city of New York was the black vote of the old 11th Assembly district, which never went Democratic, and never was given any patronage, excepting janitorials etc., and a cook or valet of a political leader was the leader of the colored voters. Negroes united with Tammany for a purpose, and the result was that we have today in New York a Negro vote, which is a National Factor Under the leadership of Chas. W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue. The Governor of Minnesota is the messenger-boy of the President of the Northern Pacific Railway says Ray Stannard Baker. We may soon hear that Leut. Gov. E. E. Smith is the office porter. He cleans up for everybody. NYE'S OPPONENTS TALK OF BOLTING. Progressive Republican League May Bring Out Independent Candidate for Congress. The progressive Republican league may carry its war upon Congressman Frank M. Nye into the general election. At a dinner to be given in Dayton's tearooms tonight to A. H. Hall, the defeated candidate for congress, the members of the league will discuss a plan to get out an independent candidate. Mr. Hall is debarred under the law from running again, but there is nothing to prevent the league from bringing out someone else. The nomination can be made by petition, which requires 500 signatures, no person who voted in the primary being eligible to sign the petition. In a statement issued late yesterday day Mr. Hall discussed the result, but failed to make the usual promise to support the nominee. His attention was called to the omission today, but he declined o add anything to the statement. He wishes it distinctly understood that he has nothing more to say than his formal statement, which follows: Mr. Mall's Statement. "At some personal sacrifice and in disregard of political prudence, I became a candidate to advance a public cause for cleaner, broader and juster government. I am grateful for and appreciate deeply the loyal and unselfish devotion of men who supported me personally and the cause I stood for. We share together the disappointment and the glory of the movement. To have come so near and failed is regrettable. It is too early, and the data is not sufficient to warrant analysis of reasons, but there are evidences that the opposition was desperate and unscrupulous. Our one support and strength was the righteousness of our cause and the ample grounds of our protest. "We may fairly claim that the cause has been advanced. Progressive men have voiced their sentiment and thundered their rebuke in this district to the reactionary and stand-patter with such vigor and volume as must be reckoned with. The philosophy of non-resistance to the evil of legislation need not consider itself indorsed." Opinion is divided among members of the league as to the independent move, and it will be thoroughly threshed out tonight. James A. Peterson is the obvious choice in case it is decided to take the step. In the primary campaign, Mr. Hall said repeatedly on the platform that he would abide by the result of the primary election, whatever it might be. An independent candidate can not hope to commend all the votes that went for Hall in the primaries, but it is thought by the promoters of the movement that he might draw enough from Nye to bring about the election of the electrat. It is part of the proposed scheme, however, to bring about the withdrawal of Thomas P. Dwyer, the democratic nominee, and swing the entire democratic strength for the independent candidate. The principal obstacle to this is Mr. Dwyer, who is notoriously not of the withdrawal kind. He was urged to get out of the way this time for the nomination of Elnar Holdale, but refused and won the nomination. Halbert for Stevens. Hugh T. Halbert, who made the progressive league contest in the fourth district against Congressman F. C. Stevens, will support Mr. Stevens for the election. He said today: "The battle for the progressive cause in this district has been fought and lost. I cinerely congratulate Congressman Stevens on his victory and shall abide by the decision of the people. We have made a clean campaign for principle and there is not one regret to mar our contest." Mr. Stevens' majority is conceded by Mr. Halbert to be 1,161. Ramsey county went for Stevens by 1,973, while Halbert carried Washington by 197, and Chisago by 615, with one precinct to hear from (Minneapolis Journal, Sept. 22.) The public affairs committee of the Commercial club at a meeting today at which Congressman Frank M. Nye was present, decided to make application at once to Washington to have Minneapolis designated as a place of deposit for the funds received by postal savings banks in Minnesota towns where there are no banks. Mr. Nye promise to do everything possible to bring this about and if necessary will go to Washington for the purpose. The committee also indorsed the suggested plan of operation by which cars on the interurban line would make stops only at every third cross-street, to cut down the running time between Minneapolis and St. Paul. That committee surely must own autos. Has any of them walked 2 blocks recently. This city wants better car-service, not worse. DEMOCRATS WANT 14th AMENDS MENT REPEALED. MENT REPEALED Austin, Tex., Sept. 9.—The lower house of the Texas legislature, by a vote of 51 to 34, instructed senators and congressmen to work for the repeal of the 14th amendment to the federal constitution, conferring franchise upon Negroes. The colored vote of Minnesota is "power" in this election. Political Candidates JOHN P. NASH. Candidate for Representative for the 41st Legislative Dist. Comprising 5th and 6th Wards. Candidate for Nomination for the 41st Legislative Dist., Comprising 5th and 6th Wards. John P. Nash is too well known to all voters of his district to mention his good qualities. He has been a friend. He asks your support. This is his first attempt to run for a public office, and he now tests the worth of his friends. Mr. Nash was the Assistant supervisor of the late Census. JUDGE C. L. SMITH. Judge Smith of the Municipal Court is a Candidate for Judge of the District Court. He is well known to the colored people of Minneapolis. He His education, experience and impartiality are evidences of his fitness for the position and his attitude towards the colored citizens of our city demands their united support. ERNEST LUNDEEN. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR ELECTION. for Representative of Forty-second Legislative District—Seventh, Eleventh, Twelfth Wards and County. Mr. Lundeen says: "I believe in progressive Republican policies, direct election of United States senators and state-wide primaries, making it possible for the people to nominate the highest as well as the humblest office holders." Mr. Lundeen is a lawyer by profession and a Spanish American War veteran. His office is 218 Bank of Commerce Bldg. T. S. Phone 1095. DR. GILBERT SEASHORE. PRESENT CORONER. Dr. Seashore, our present coroner, asks for your support on his "record in and out of office." Dr. Seashore, is to be envied by all office seekers. He has no opposition having beaten his opponent in the primaries. FRANK E. HAYCOCK. County Surveyor, and Republican Candidate for Re-election. Hennepin county is fortunate in having the important office of surveyor filled by one of the most competent in the profession. The office of County Surveyor in Hennepin county requires a civil engineer skilled in road building, bridge building and land surveying. 47203 Mr. Haycock is 51 years of age and a native of Minnesota, has lived in Minneapolis nearly all his life, he is a civil engineer and surveyor by profession and has practiced his profession in Minneapolis for the past 30 years, during which time he served 6 years as deputy county surveyor and in 1906 was elected county surveyor which experience has made him familiar with every county road and bridge in the county, and also the most up to date bridge and bridge construction required and most familiar with all the land marks and property lines in the city and whole county, all of which experience especially qualifies him for the position he now holds and his candidacy for re-election is receiving the support of the best people of Hennepin county and we join in expressing the hope that he will be re-elected. If it's in the Star, it's right. CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR. Solicits the support of the voters of Minneapolis on the ground of personal fitness. Has had twenty-five years experience as a business man of this city. Was a member of city council for four years. Mr. Satterlee's long experience as a business man, and his prominent connection with the public affairs of this city peculiarly qualify him for the position. If elected he will give the city an administration in the interests of all the people and pledges himself to an honest, able discharge of the duties of Mayor. JOHN G. LENNON. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR ELECTION. for Representative of 4th Dist. Comprising 5th and 6th Wards. Mr. John G. Lennon is the present representative of the 41st District, has been six years in the State Legislature, and is now a candidate for Re-Election. He presents himself to the colored voters and all citizens of the district solely on his record. He has made a record, while in the Legislature, that he is proud of, and is recognized a friend of the colored people. C He has never made promises which he did not try to keep, and "his word is his bond." Representative Lennon has the indemnity of some of the highest citizens of our race, and they have all said that he is deserving of their vote. Rep. Lennon secured for Mr. I. G. Armstrong, the position as Guide, which he held satisfactorily but the appointment was later put in the hands of a commission. He has always been a friend of our race C. M. E. Carlson, has been in business in the city for 20 years and for period of 18 years has been secretary for the N. W. Mantle Co. He is a very successful business man. C. M. E. Carlson has given his consent to become a candidate for County Commissioner in the 2nd District, comprising 6, 7, 11, 12 wards. He will surely fulfill the duties of the office, for the good of the public. He resided in the district for 23 years, and at present lives at 1814 1th Ave. S. He is a heavy taxpayer and has always taken an active part in city and county affairs. Do not forget to vote for him and tell your friends to do likewise. C. M. E. Carlson. A POLITICAL LEADER. A POLITICAL LEADER. Rev. W. S. Malone opens his hedquarters at 723 Wash. Ave. So., and is being recognized by a class of candidates, who seek to eliminate the intelligent and conscientious voter from politics. His followers are a set of renegades, bar-files, and blind-piggers, who are bartering their votes for beer, cigars and money. They give meetings for everybody and take everybody's money. Such as Malone deals only in commercial politics, and their vote is never a certainty. He is too well known in these parts, and his days are numbered. The cloth of the church is too sacred to be vested on this "political parasite." Such representatives of the race should be relegated. Where is our Hon. W. B. Morris? Is it to be Morris or Malone or neither? If we have a recognized leader, why should such "confidencemen, and bunco-steerers," be given any consideration. PARTY EMANCIPATION. The Negroes do not have to follow the regular nominees of the Republican party, because he is a republican. They vote for the man with the right principles and purposes. They have awakened.

We should vote and vote only for congressmen and other candidates for office who pledge themselves to advocate the following measures: 3. The passage of a national anti Jim Crow law. 4. National aid to education, with the same opportunities to all children. 5. The enforcement of the constitution so as to stop disfranchisement and peonage. Who Said Beer?
