Governor Eberhart Increases His Lead Over Ringdal. Roosevelt Apparently Undismayed by His Defeat. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 7.—Colonel Roosevelt surveyed the field of battle and gathered as much of the story of defeat as he could piece together. His leutenants in each state wired to him their reports, in many cases incomplete, and Colonel Roosevelt was still in doubt as to just what the Progressive party had been able to accomplish in its first campaign. There was nothing of the aspect of a beaten general and no hint of defeat in his manner. He smiled as easily and told stories as gaily as before and apparently was enjoying life thoroughly. Colonel Roosevelt said he wants to tell his supporters ever where what he thinks of the outcom and the outlook. The only reason the he did not do so was that he had not the facts at hand. "I want to find out just where we stand first," he explained. "The returns are far from complete. When I have all the facts I shall make a statement."

FOR PRESIDENT, THE CORE ROOSEVELT. MINNESOTA SAFE FOR ROOSEVELT STATE TICKET REPUBLICA St. Paul, Nov. 7.—Colonel Roosevelt, in all probability, has carried Minnesota by a plurality of from 15,000 to 20,000. Returns from two-thirds of the precincts of the state give him a comfortable lead of nearly 8,000 over Wilson and country precincts are in increasing his plurality. The indications are that Taft's vote, in spite of many claims of big gains for him, will not greatly exceed the mark of 75,000 set for him by politicians before the election. The country voters in Minnesota stood by Roosevelt solidly. Wilson, emerging from St. Paul and Minnesota with a plurality of 5,000, met Roosevelt pluralities in nearly every farm count of the state and his lead was cut down steadily in the tabulating. Duluth and St. Louis county alone gave Roosevelt a plurality of more than 3,000 over Wilson and the northern tier of counties added more Roosevelt votes. Colonel Gains on Wilson. One thousand, eight hundred and eighty of the 2,900 precincts in the state, including those in Hennep' and Ramse' counties, gave Roosevelt 91,985. Wilson 84,117. Taft 50,799. Roosevelt gaining an average of seven and one-half votes to the precinct over Wilson in the country and should he continue these gains his plurality will be about 15,000. The big Roosevelt vote in St. Paul and the correspondingly low Taft vote was one of the surprises of the election. Chisago and Washington counties gave handsome Roosevelt pluralities that swung the Fourth congressional district for Roosevelt. Complete returns may show that the Progressive nominee has carried every congressional district in the state save the Fifth, which includes the city of Minneapolis. He has carried at least fifty-four of the eighty-six counties of the state; Wilson apparently has carried about twenty-two. Taft three and the rest are in doubt. Collins Is Far Behind. The entire Republican state ticket is safe. Governor Eberhart's indicated plurality is between 30,000 and 40,000. Returns from 1,826 of the 2,900 precincts in the state gave Eberhart 95,000, Ringdal 77,003 and Collins 21,006 with Eberhart making slight gains in reports from additional country precincts. Governor Eberhart has carried approximately seventy of the eighty-six counties of the state and is gradually increasing his plurality over P. M. Ringdal. A real feature of the state election was the apparent strength of E. E. Lobeck, Prohibition candidate for governor. Lobeck carried Douglas FOR VICE PRESIDENT, HIRAM W. JOHNSON.

Cincinnati, Nov. 7.—Further returns serve only to increase Governor Wilson's lead in Ohio and to insure a more complete Democratic victory in the state. Returns from 436 of the 522 precincts in Hamilton county, the city of Cincinnati, heretofore thought to be carried by Taft, give Wilson 35,823 to Taft's 35,592. WILSON IS CERTAIN OF 387 VOTES Has Chance in Several Close States. TAFT ONLY HAS TWELVE New Hampshire Finally Lands in Democratic Column. ```markdown ``` New York, Nov. 7.—Returns seem to assure Wilson and Marshall of 400 votes in the electoral college. Iowa and Kansas, which with Minnesota, South Dakota and Wyoming were in the doubtful column, seem almost sure to swell the Democratic total in the final alignment of states. Possibilities of a further gain remain for Wilson through the accession of Wyoming, where he led Taft by a smill margin with one-third of the vote tabulated. On the other hand late figures from South Dakota tend to assure the state to Roosevelt, the Progressive candidate leading by a fair margin and maintaining his lead fair well on added returns. ******************** New York, Nov. 7.—Only the uncertainty of a few close states, whose electoral vote in no way can affect the election of Wilson and Marshall; speculation over the popular vote on the three presidential candidates and the complexion of legislatures that will name United States senators held interest in the final returns of general election. The total of the Republican electoral column apparently was fixed at the twelve votes of Idaho, Utah and Vermont, but the footing of the Wilson and Roosevelt columns flickered alternately as late returns from Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming gave indications of change. On the basis of the latest returns, with the vote of Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming placed in the "doubtful" column, President Elect Wilson had 387 certain votes in the electoral college; Colonel Roosevelt eighty-nine and President Taft twelve. The doubtful states, except South Dakota, gave more or less certain indications of landing in the list of Wilson electoral votes, while South Dakota's returns showed a general trend toward a Roosevelt plurality. A byphase of the general election that became known was the success of woman's suffrage in four of the five states where constitutional amendments were submitted to the people. The victory of the women was complete in Kansas and Arizona and possibly Michigan; late returns from Oregon indicated it had succeeded there also, while from Wisconsin came returns showing the decisive defeat of the equal suffrage proposal. Estimates of Popular Vote. Estimates of the popular vote polled by Governor Wilson ranged through many millions. It was found impossible to compute, with any accuracy, the popular vot of any of the presidential candidates and it will be a number of days until the counting of the three cornered contest in the different states is concluded and accurate tabulation of the popular vote made possible. Assertions were made from several quarters where an effort had been made to gather preliminary popular vote figures that Governor Wilson has not secured a majority of the votes cast throughout the country. There were many surprises. New Hampshire, first credited to Taft, went into the Wilson column with a majority of about 1,500 for the Democratic candidate. Returns from Idaho, which came in scattering form favored the belief that it would give him its electoral vote; but late returns made it the third state to go certainly for President Taft. The Roosevelt forces, watching the returns hourly as they came from Illinois, suffered a scare as the down state Democratic districts reduced Roosevelt's plurality from Cook coun- --- PETER H. PROF. WOODROW WILSON. OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. ty until it promised to disappear. A complete report from Cook county again swelled the Roosevelt majority in the state and seemingly made certain the control of Illinois' twenty-nine votes by the Progressive candidate. Kansas, which had been conceded to Roosevelt by all interests on the preliminary returns, gradually slipped back until it had become a question whether Wilson or Roosevelt would control its 'en votes. Governor Wilson had the better of the situation in Iowa, where the counting still was in progress, with but a narrow margin between the candidates. DEMOCRATS MAY CAPTURE SENATE Only Need to Gain Six Republican Seats. SOME STATES VERY CLOSE Returns Assure Joseph G. Cannon's Defeat in House. Washington, Nov. 7.—There remains only a slight uncertainty that the Democratic party would control the United States senate. If the Democrats had carried West Virginia their control apparently would have been assured. But late returns indicated that that state probably would have a Republican majority of twenty votes or more in the legislature. Democratic control of the senate depends upon later returns from several states where the results still were in doubt. Default returns were lacking from Oregon, Wyoming, Tennessee, New Hampshire, Illinois and South Dakota. Late figures from Nevada indicate that 'Itttman, Democrat, is leading and probably is elected. Of the nineteen seats held by Republicans which were at stakes in Tuesday's election it became necessary for the Democrats to elect six to procure a majority in the senate, providing they were able at the same time to retain possession of their own. Returns gave them the following Republican strongholds: Two in Colorado, where John F. Shafroth, Democrat, for the full term, and C. S. Thomas, Democrat, for the short term, will be selected by a Democratic legislature. One in Montana, where Republicans and Progressives conceded the election of T. J. Walsh. Democrat Stubbs Beaton in Kansas. One in Kansas, where W. R. Stubbs, Republican, conceded the election of his opponent, William H. Thompson, Democrat. One in Delaware, a Democratic legislature assuring the return of a Democrat to succeed Richardson, Republican, retired. One in New Jersey, where William Hughes, Democrat, will succeed Briggs, Republican. Iowa, which was considered doubtful, elected a Republican legislature, which probably will select W. S. Kenyon, Republican. The personnel of the new senate will show many of the veterans, with a large infusion of new blood. Among those who failed for renomination and whose names will not appear on the senate rolls is Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois, whose congressional career goes back to the time of Abraham Lincoln. Included in this list are all 1 THOMAS R. MARSHALL Elected Vice President. Senator Curtis of Kansas, Bourne of Oregon and Gamble of South Dakota. Oregon and Gamble of South Dakota Senators Bailey of Texas, Crane of Massachusetts, Guggenheim of Colorado, Richardson of Delaware, Burnham of New Hampshire and Wetmore of Rhode Island retire voluntarily. Senator Dixon of Montana, who has given his time to Colonel Roosevelt, was defeated. Later returns did not diminish the heavy Democratic majority in the house of representatives, but they did play seesaw with Uncle Joe Cannon and finally left him defeated by a majority of 600. President Taft Hopss to See Organization of Club. Columbus, O., Nov. 7.—Defeated, but far from discouraged, President Taft already is considering plans for holding together and strengthening the Republican party. He said to friends wl accompanied him north from Cincinnati that the party will continue to exist; that it will be as active as heretofore and that there is no reason why it should not be successful. So far as the president's plan is concerned he hopes to see organized a national Republican club entirey apart from the Republican national committee which shall cherish the principles of the party and be a source of political activity not only during election years but at all times. The president spoke of the Republican club of New York, the Hamilton club of Chicago and other similar organizations and expressed the belief that through these clubs interest and loyalty could be kept alive. To a suggestion that he might be the Republican party's nominee in 1916 the president replied with a smile but made no comment. He repeated his intention of returning to Cincinnati and the practice of law. The president is convinced that the task of President Elect Wilson will not be easy. He said that he earnestly hoped Mr. Wilson would not call an extra session of congress to revise the tariff. He wished, he said, to see the present prosperity continue as long as possible. M'GOVERN TAKES THE LEAD Apparently is Re-Elected Governor of Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Nov. 7.—That Governor Woodrow Wilson carried Wisconsin is generally accepted beyond the shadow of a doubt, but Governor Francis E. McGovern, according to late figures, will remain as chief executive for a second term. An official count may be necessary to decide the contest. A conservative estimate places the total vote cast in Wisconsin at 480,000; divided as follows Wilson. 200,000; Taft. 150,000 Roosevelt. 85,000; Debs. 40,000 and Chaffin. 5,000. Returns favored McGovern in almost every instance and enough additional results have been wired in to turn the tide in McGovern's favor. COLONEL CARRIES ILLINOIS State in Progressive Column by About 10,000. Chicago, Nov. 7.—Estimates based on election returns are that Colonel Roosevelt probably has carried Illinois by about 10,000 votes over Governor Wilson. Wilson gradually gained strength in the down state reports, but the Colonel's lead of 38.000 in Cook county is expected to be large enough to carry him through. Dunne's plurality in the gubernatorial race probably will exceed 100.000. Funk, the Progressive nominee, continued to run second and it seemed probable that Deneen, Republican, would finish third.

HALF CENTURY OF FREEDOM WRIGHT HEADS DELEGATION Committee of Prominent Citizens Assured by City's Chief Executive of His Cordial Co-operation in Plans For Holding Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration in Philadelphia in 1913. By WHITTIER H. WRIGHT. Philadelphia. — Mayor Blankenburg was recently visited by a delegation of colored men who requested him to take a special interest in the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of the colored people, with a view to having the exposition held in this city next year. The mayor heard the delegation very interestedly and promised to co-operate with the colored citizens in making the exposition a success. Among those in the delegation were Bishop Benjamin T. Tanner, Bishop Level J. Coplin, Bishop Evans Tysee of the African Methodist Episcopal church, Bishop J. S. Caldwell and Bishop G. L. Blackwell of the A. M. E. Zion church, Hon. Harry W. Bass, member of the Pennsylvania legislature; Hon. Richard A. Cooper, member of council; Richard R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder; Walter P. Hall, leading colored merchant, and others. The principal speech was made by R. R. Wright, Jr., Ph. D., author of the "History of the Negro in Pennsylvania," who is the director of exhibits of the proposed exposition. Dr. Wright said that Jan. 1, 1913, will mark the fifteenth anniversary of the famous emancipation proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln for the freedom of the slaves. The colored population of Pennsylvania will celebrate this jubilee year with an exposition showing the progress of the race during the fifty years of its freedom. There has been remarkable progress of the Negro from a physical point of view, showing his ability to survive. According to the United States census of 1860, there were 4,441,830 Negroes in the country. Fifty years later, in 1910, the census gave the number of Negroes as 9,828,294, an increase of over 100 per cent. Fifty years ago they were located chiefly in the south. Today they are scattered over all the states. Fifty years ago these people were largely illiterate. Not more than ten in a hundred could at that time read and write, their illiteracy being estimated in 1800 at 90 per cent. Slowly this has been cut down until in 1910 it was reported by the census at 30.5 per cent. The remarkable progress of the Negro in cutting down illiteracy is realized by comparison with foreign countries. According to the latest report of the bureau of education, the illiteracy of Austria was 26.2 per cent, of Hungary 40 per cent, of Italy 49 per cent, og Spain 48.7 per cent and of Russia 70 per cent. This progress in education has been made chiefly by the growth of the public school system. Fifty years ago practically no Negroes attended public schools. There are today more than 2,000,000 colored children in the public schools of the country, and these are taught by some 25,000 colored teachers, who have developed within the last fifty years. The colored people have developed during these years about 150 private institutions, manned and controlled by colored people. They have contributed during these fifty years to these schools something over $50,000,000, besides the amount which they have contributed in taxes. The best information available gives the part of taxes contributed to education by Negroes in the south as something like $55,000,000. Fifty years ago there were hardly a dozen Negro college graduates. During these fifty years more than 5,000 Negro young men and women have graduated from colleges and have won honors in Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Pennsylvania, Oberlin and other well known American universities. In 1000 there were 1,180 manufacturers, 82 bankers and brokers, 9,098 retail merchants, 149 wholesale merchants, 187 commercial travelers, 475 bookkeepers and accountants and 150 officials in banks. Negroes maintain loyal business leagues all over the country and have organized a National Negro Business league, National Press association, National Bankers' association, National Funeral Directors' association, etc. Fifty years ago Negroes in the professions were practically unknown and unthought of. There are today 75,000 Negroes in professions, representing physicians, lawyers, teachers, professors in colleges, journalists, engineers, literary people, artists and others. There has also developed in these fifty years the home owning Negro. It was my privilege to study for the state department of Pennsylvania home owning in that state, and, to my surprise and to the surprise of the head of the bureau of industrial statistics, without covering half the state we received the names of nearly 4,000 Negro property holders as against 3,000 and some odd returned in 1900 for the whole state. The estimated value of their property in Pennsylvania is something like $15,000,000. Now, we have only in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arkansas and Virginia, I think, and possibly in North Carolina, definite statistic as to home owning, but the United States census now reports 500,000 Negroes living in their own homes, valued at over a billion dollars. In our Congressional library there are registered over 0,000 names of colored people who are authors and who have copyrighted books. This is the record of a race which could hardly read and write in 1800. In the patent office there are patents of 1,000 colored people. Some most valuable patents have been granted to colored men, connected with the telephone system, the railway system and very many other useful things which are of value in the development of our country. The inventions of colored men have never been put upon exhibition. Our educational and moral progress will be shown by pictures, charts, models and statistics, representing in compact form every phase of development. Besides this will be shown samples of the actual work in our public schools and colleges. Special exhibits of our social organization work, such as churches, labor, fraternal and secret organizations, will be made. The endeavor will be made to have the government install in full the entire exhibit of inventions by Negroes and a library of books written by Negroes. In the industrial field it is expected to have every industry represented in which Negroes are engaged. Gardening will occupy a large place. Several acres of land we hope to devote to an exhibit of landscape and truck gardening. HONOR FOR GIBEON YOUNG. Appreciation For Promoter of Casino Which Boars His Name. Leading business and professional men of New York recently gave a magnificent banquet in honor of Gibson Young, through whose foresight Young's casino, at Park avenue and One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, was built. The opening of the casino to the public during the past summer gave revived hope and encouragement to thousands of New York's most substantial citizens, who welcomed such a venture as a move in the right direction for the benefit of the race. The banquet was given in the hall set aside for such occasions. There were many handsomely dressed ladies present in honor of the guest of the evening, and all were proud of the fact that this great auditorium, the largest north of the Mason and Dixon line, was under the management of a member of the race. Among the ladies present were Mimes. Booker T. Washington, Philip A. Payton, James H. Anderson, Edward A. Warren and Miss Adena Minott. Collector Charles W. Anderson was toastmaster. Those who responded to toasts included James H. Anderson, George W. Harris, both of the Amsterdam News; Fred R. Moore of the New York Age, Deputy Assistant District State Attorney Cornellish McDougal, Edward E. Lee, Attorney J. Frank Wheaton and the guest of honor, who made a most graceful speech. Music was furnished by the New Amsterdam orchestra. Mr. Young is a native of Kentucky and is regarded as one of the most successful restaurant proprietors in the city. Noted for his charitable disposition, race enterprise and hustling qualities, he is easily one of the most highly regarded men in the city.

Professor William Wesley Weekes, musical director of the Negro Society For Historical Research of Yonkers. N. Y., who is an accomplished performer on the pianoforte, is to give a recital in Bethel A. M. E. church, in Washington, which is one of the largest and most fashionable churches in the District of Columbia, on Friday evening. Dec. 6, under the auspices of the trustees of that church and the management of Professor J. W. Cromwell, principal of the Alex Cromwell school. Professor Weekes is a native of Georgetown, Demerara, South America, and began his studies on the piano at the age of five under Mile. Cosson, a celebrated French teacher on the piano. He is a pupil of the famous Landford Blades, a composer whose work won him a European reputation. The professor is highly indorsed by Professor Helstone of Surinim, a graduate of the Leipzig Conservatory of Music and with whom he was later associated. His repertory embraces the works of all the old masters—Mendelssohn, Handel, Stainer, etc. His interpretations of S. Coleridge-Taylor's music must be heard to be appreciated. Washingtonians are going to have a great treat, and they will find Professor Weekes a wonderful pianist, one who will not suffer by comparison with many of the more widely known performers on that instrument. Rice Farms in Georgia May Increase. As a result of the success of Mr. A. H. Homes of McRae, Ga., in rice growing it is thought that the farmers of the state generally may make rice growing a feature of their farm products in the future. Mr. Homes' crop of rice this year covered two acres and yielded large returns. SYLVESTER W. OLIVER. Working Men's Social Club OLIVER BROS., Managers PHONE: Micollet 8506 206 So.

The national Progressive party committed to the principle of government by a self-controlled democracy expressing its will through representatives of the people pledges itself to secure such alterations in the fundamental law of the several states and of the United States as shall insure the representative character of the government. In particular this party declares for direct primaries for the nomination of state and national officers, for nation-wide preferential primaries for candidates for the presidency, for the direct election of United States senators by the people; and we urge on the states the policy of the short ballot with responsibility to the people secured by the initiative, referendum and recall. This is the plank in the platform condemning States' Rights, and the revival of the Civil Rights Bill, which the Republicans never passed. Roosevelt carried Minnesota. The election is over. Get together. The Progressive fight has just begun. Thos. D. Schall, Pr'gressive Candidate for Congress in 4th District ran second. He says: "That there is lots of time." We can wait two years more. The Republican Party was a ship—but she is a wreck now. How much more legislation against the Negro in the Solid South? Four years more. A PROGRESSIVE VICTORY. The landslide of Wilson was the result of the Third Party Movement, and is the death of the Republican Party. Every Negro who voted for Roosevelt intended to destroy the Taft machine. Cong. Stevens of St. Paul will return to Congress. He will return home a real progressive, without taking any more chances. Where are all the Negro Editors who were for Taft and the Republican Party? Last reported were attending Taft obsequies Singing, Massa's in de cold, cold ground." Yes—it's awful doleful. The Progressives have made good. They annihilated the Republican Party. Roosevelt says that he would "break up the gang," and it was no idle boast—because he knew that the people were with him. Hon. Phil. H. Brown of the Taft Publicity Bureau made many votes for Taft, as the record shows. Many Negroes joined the Democratic ranks for money. They would have followed Taft but were on the outside, and did not line up with the Progressives because of "short rations." But the old guard of the Democratic Party will be given first choice, (if any choice.) Hon. James Alexander Ross, National Negro Chairman, will see that his able assistants are cared for. READ THE STAR-IT'S NEWS. RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Colored Americans having been permitted to be disfranchised in the Southern States under Republican rule. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats upon the Supreme Court of the United States. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats in the Cabinet by President Taft. The declaration of President Taft that he would appoint no colored man to office who may be objectionable to the white people. Race discrimination permitted upon the railroads South, and the enactment of "Jim Crow" car laws. The removal of Southern colored office holders in the South from office and the appointment of Democrats and ex-Confederates in their stead. With such a record for the Republican party to go to the country on in 1912 to capture the colored vote will be bound to be effective. The colored voters throughout the country have opened their eyes, and between now and 1912 they will keep them open.—The Bee, Wash. D. C. T. R. GOV. ADOLPH O. EBERHART Re-elected Nov. 5th. HALBERT DESERVES CREDIT. Hon. Hugh T. Halbert og St. Paul, candidate for Congress, also ran. But he is the one man, who pioneered the progressive cause in Minnesota, and with able assistants, carried the state for Roosevelt. Halbert is a factor in the Progressive fight. The Twin City Star has the exclusive use in this city of the Afro-American news service of the American Press Assn., edited by Mr. N. B. Dodson of N. Y., which is a feature of our publication, much appreciated by our readers. BETTER POLITICS. Something can be done by good laws, more can be done by honest administration of the laws, but most of all can be done by browning resolutely on the preachers of vague discontent. In our political and social life alike. In order permanently to succeed, we must base our conduct on the Decalogue and the Golden Rule. Quick vemiedies of the universal cure-all type are generally as noxious to the body politic as to the body corporal. We must do our duty by the state. We must frown down dishonesty and corruption and war for honesty and righteousness. -Theodore Roosevelt. The Constitution and Citizenship. The next great war will be fought for the enfranchisement of the disfranchised colored citizens of the south who are still denied the right of suffrage, as guaranteed to all citizens of the United States by the national constitution. To lay claim to state rights in the matter of regulating the suffrage is simply begging the question. The constitution does not disfranchise a single citizen, native born or naturalized. Let us hope, however, that it will be a war of legal enactments which will cause to be enforced the constitutional rights of all citizens regardless of race or previous condition of servitude. Unjust Laws Tend to Bread Strife. The city council at Portsmouth, Va., is puzzling its brains in an attempt to form a segregation ordinance which will conform to the state law. The ordinance committee has finally referred the whole matter to Acting City Attorney R. Clifford Barclay and City Engineer Cassell. Such unjust laws only tend to breed strife between the white and colored people, which benefits neither. INTERNATIONAL PAILROAD MEN'S ASSN. The opening of the Headquarters of the Railroad Men's Assn., was a grand success. They have everything sanitary and homelike—and it appears that it will be a success, but it must have the patronage of those, who always say "We need such things." Will the people of St. Paul support it? Talk can't run this institution. TWIN CITY STAR WASHINGTON ON THE FRANCHISE THE SOUTH'S FATAL MISTAKE Founder and Head of the Great Tuskegee Institute Advocates Even Handed Justice In Method of Voting White and Colored Citizens In the South Abhors Lynching. "No influence could ever make me desire to go back to the conditions of reconstruction days to secure the bail lot for the Negro," writes Dr. Booket T. Washington in the November Century. "That was an order of things that was bad for the Negro and bad for the white man. "In most southern states it is absolutely necessary that some restriction be placed upon the use of the ballot. The actual methods by which this restriction was brought about have been widely advertised, and there is no necessity for my discussing them here. "At the time these measures were passed I urged that, whatever law went upon the statute book in regard to the use of the ballot, it should apply with absolute impartiality to both races. This policy I advocate again in justice to both white man and Negro. "Let me illustrate what I mean. In a certain county of Virginia, where the county board had charge of registering those who were to be voters, a colored man who had long been a resident of the county, a quiet, unassuming man. [Name] went before the board to register. He was refused on the ground that he was not intelligent enough to vote. "Before this colored man left the room a white man came in who was so intoxicated that he could scarcely tell where he lived. This white man was registered and by a board of intelligent white men who had taken an oath to deal justly in the administration of the law. "Will any one say that there is wisdom or statesmanship in such a policy as that? In my opinion it is a fatal mistake to teach the young black man and the young white man that the dominance of the white race in the south rests upon any other basis than absolute justice to the weaker man. "I have spoken plainly regarding the south because I love the south as I love no other part of our country, and I want to see her white people equal to any white people on the globe in material wealth, in education and in intelligence. I am certain, however, that none of these things can be secured and permanently maintained except they are founded on justice. "In most parts of the United States the colored people feel that they suffer more than others as the result of the lynching habit. When he was governor of Alabama I heard Governor Jekls say in a public speech that he knew of five cases during his administration of innocent colored people having been lynched. "If that many innocent people were known to the governor to have lynched it is safe to say that there were other innocent persons lynched whom the governor did not know about. What is true of Alabama in this respect is true of other states. In short, it is safe to say that a large proportion of the colored people lynched are innocent." Clubwomen to Hear Mrs. Washington. The most important event in women's club circles in Pittsburgh for the third week in October was a mass meeting at the Trinity Congregational church, at which Mrs. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, was the principal speaker. Clubwomen from the adjoining cities and towns were present to cooperate with the women of Pittsburgh in making the meeting a great success. States In Which Women May Vote. The six states in which women voted or were entitled to vote at the general elections on Nov. 5 are California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The number of colored women in these states of voting age is estimated at 13,488. It is reported that a movement is on foot in Hawaii to extend the franchise to the women of that country.
