THE WISCONSIN State Historical Library State st. VOL. III. THE COLORED AMERICAN IN WAR WORK A Review of What the Negro People Are Doing to Aid in Winning the World-Wide War for Liberty and Democracy. issued from the Office of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. Washington, D. C.—Company A. 301st Stevedore Regiment. "Somewhere in France," has been cited by Rear Admiral Wilson and General McClure for exceptionally efficient work. These colored men unloaded and coaled the immense steamship "Leviathan", formerly the "Vaterland", in fifty-six hours, making a new world's record, in competition with other stevedore detachments on the western front in France, many of which are white. A film, showing this splendid regiment at work and at play, is to be exhibited throughout the country in the leading colored and white theaters. In Los Angeles, Cal., nine colored "four-minute men" are at work talking up the purchase of liberty bonds, war savings stamps and war organization activities among the colored people, with excellent results. The Army is still in need of chaplains. The ultimate plan is to have one for every 1,200 officers and men. It wants a special kind of chaplain—a sturdy, upstanding, brotherly man between the ages of 21 and 45—who cares a good deal more about the welfare of soldiers than about distinctions in creeds. At Camp Zachary Taylor, near Louisville, Ky., the Army is conducting a school for chaplains. The course covers five weeks and new classes are formed at about an interval of a week after the current class is graduated. Applicants must pass the physical tests prescribed by the local draft board. While at the school the student-chaplain receives free subsistence, lodging and uniform and the pay of a first-class private, $33.00 per month, with mileage home at the rate of three and one-half cents per mile upon the completion of his course. If appointed he takes the rank and pay of a first lieutenant of the National Army, $2,000 a year and $2,200 abroad. The next class begins August 23. Applicants should apply directly to the Adjutant General of the Army, who will furnish all necessary information. There are now about thirty-one colored chaplains in the several branches of the Army. A new community house, adjudged the best in the district, has been opened for Negro soldiers at Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas. A committee has been appointed by the War Commission on Training Camp Activities and a colored worker has been placed in charge of the club home. The appointment of Lieut. Russell Smith, detailed in charge of the 2nd Battalion, Student Army Training Camp. Howard University, is the first time in the history of the United States Army when a colored officer has been placed in charge as commanding officer of a training camp. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., one of the race's ablest speakers, addressed a monster patriotic meeting recently at Wadesboro, N. C., with more than 6,000 persons in attendance from Anson and adjoining counties. Dr. Bowen was introduced by the Hon. L. P. Robinson, member of Congress from the Wadesboro district. He pointed out in a most luminous manner the duty of the race in support of the war policies of the Government and urged the people to respond cheerfully to the call to the colors, to buy Liberty bonds and war savings stamps, to contribute generously to the funds for the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., and to engage heartily in all of the activities designed to aid the nation in the winning of the war. Dr. Bowen spoke to another large gathering in Hickory, N. C., en route homeward to Atlanta. The full text of President Wilson's letter in denunciation of lynching will probably be circulated in France among the colored soldiers. The Negro Auxiliary of the Knox County Chapter of the American Red Cross Society of Knoxville, Tenn., is doing excellent work, with Mrs. J. G. Robinson as president. At a recent patriotic celebration Mayor John E. McMillan spoke and helpful addresses were delivered by Editor W: L. Porter, of the East Tennessee News, Prof. C. W. Cansler, Hon. W. F. Yardley, Dr. J. H. Henderson, Rev. L. St. George McCallum and others of like prominence. M. ATTY, GEO. H. DE REEF Milwaukee. Wis.

N AND CIRCULATION MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY WAR WORK OF COLORED WOMEN Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson Named as Field Representative for Women's Committee of The National Council of Defense. Washington, D. C., August 22. Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson has recently been appointed field representative of the Women's Committee, Council of National Defense. This week she is leaving Washington for the states to make a preliminary survey of the war work which is being done among the colored women by the various State Divisions of the Woman's Committee and to assist them in perfecting an organization they may have in hand. In a number of states these auxiliaries are already in existence. Mrs. Nelson comes to this work from Wilmington, Delaware, where she is the head of the English department of the Howard High School, which has given her leave of absence for a year in order to do war work among the colored women of the country. She is well-known as a club woman, having served for several years as secretary of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and is intimately in touch with the women of the country who are interested in or actively identified with philanthropic movements or public service organizations. Mrs. Nelson is the widow of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, the poet, whose productions are familiar to every household in the land, and who first sprang into fame through his verses under the caption of "Lyrics of Lowly Life." Mrs. Nelson is an author of note, having written a volume of very creditable poems and some short stories of Louisiana Life, and compiled a collection of best orations by Negro leaders. She is also a newspaper and magazine writer of recognized ability and far-reaching influence. HON. MARCUS E. JOHNSON LABORING MAN'S CANDIDATE A True Friend of the Common People Republican Candidate for Assembly, First District of Dane County It should be a pleasure to the voters of Dane County to vote for this young progressive Republican. He was born and raised in Dane County, and is now in charge of the Army Vocational School for the Government. He is a friend to the laboring people, and has at all times proven himself a champion of their cause. Mr. Johnson is a man easy to approach and numbers his friends by the thousands. The Blade is pleased to lend its support to such a worthy candidate. Vote for Johnson and your interests will be protected. MILWAUKEE, WIS. MR. LOVELL C. F. MILLER, A. B. PITTSBURGH, PA.

Vardaman to the United States Senate. This is another evidence that gives the people of the country to believe that the President of the United States firmly believes in the spirit of democracy for which we as a nation are contending. It is known that Senator Vardaman and his kind have transcended all bounds of honor and respectability in his effort to demoralize the hopes, ambitions and future of our people. Mississippi, whose path of travel seems to run contrary to the best interest of the country, will to some extent retrieve its good name in the eyes of the world if its voters heed the instruction and exhortation of the President, whose letter to Attorney McNeil follows: "Replying to your letter of the 23rd of July, let me say that it is always with the utmost hesitation that I venture to express an opinion about candidates for election either to the Senate or to the House, because I feel that it is not from my point of view my privilege to suggest to the voters of a state what their action shall be. "But upon questions of fact I am at liberty to speak. You call my attention to certain statements made on behalf of Senator Vardaman, in which an effort is made to create the impression that I would not regard the return of Senator Vardaman to the Senate as a verdict against the present administration. Such statements are calculated to put a very false face upon Senator Vardaman's candidacy. Senator Vardaman has been conspicuous among the Democrats in the Senate for his opposition to the administration. "If the voters of Mississippi should again choose him to represent them I not only have no right to object, I would have no right in any way to criticize them." "But I should be obliged to accept their action as a condemnation of my administration, and it is only right that they should know this before they act." President's Advice Heeded The President's letter and the power it will have on the regeneration of the South, ably sustained by the unseen hand of destiny, which is fastly removing from power and influence the elements who for fifty years have composed the southern autocracy will eventually make of the South a place fit for the sons and daughters of humanity to live. The mighty hand of time, guided by the grim reaper, is slowly yet firmly removing and separating the chafe from the wheat. PETER H. MILWAUKEE -- MADISON -- BELOIT EDITOR J. ANTHONY JOSEY Who will address the citizens of Beloit at the Wilcox Rally Monday and Tuesday night at Madison and Beloit. HON. W. S. WILLIAMS President of the Wisconsin Race Convention, who has been asked to preside at the Wilcox Rally Tuesday night in Beloit. HON. O. S. TORGESON Stoughton, Wis. The Blade in presenting the cause of this worthy candidate for County Clerk feels that he is entitled to the support of the county. He is a man who has always stood for the true Republican principles and has never sought office to make good. He does not believe that a man should have a tenure on any office and come before the voters of Dane County with a clean record. Vote for Torgeson for County Clerk and you will have rendered the county a great service. HON. R. L. RICHARDSON 100 PER CENT REPUBLICAN Republican Candidate for Sheriff of Dane County Progresive. Efficient and Fair in His Dealing. Remember him at the September Primaries. BELOIT, WIS. Now that the Race Convention is history as far as Beloit is concerned the general opinion is that it has done more good for the race in Beloit than anything has in this part of the country. The direct effect it had upon our people was most salutary; heretofore timidity has prevented us from attempting big things but this malignity has been corrected by the recent Convention. Let us stand by the Convention throughout the State and make it one of the greatest gatherings in the Northwest. We welcome to our city as a permanent fixture Dr. Norman of Milwaukee. The doctor will put out his shingle in some suitable location and will be prepared to take care of all Dental work. We are proud the doctor made Beloit his choice and we predict for him success.

W Turner, Maple St., has returned to Moline, Ill., after several week's stay in the city to look after the comforts of the Delegates of the Convention. Mrs. A. J. Jinks acquainted herself with credit and threw around her a mantel of glory as President of the recent Convention. Mrs. Jinks is a woman of push and untold ability and the State should feel proud of her. No mistake was made in the election of officers for next year. The President Mr. W. S. Williams is a race man to the core, he sought not the office but the office sought him. The Cities should begin to organize at once. MRS. JOHN W.

While there she was the recipient of many social functions and her stay was one of continual enjoyment. She was dinner guest of Mrs. Dora Thornton.

SPECIAL NOTICE The editor of "The Blade" will be in a position to ship three thousand Colored people from the South into the Eastern, Northern and Western cities. The war has been the means of thousands of doors being opened to Black men and women which heretofore have been closed, and they are getting the same wages that the white man has received. Hundreds of factories now are employing Colored men and women on salaries ranging from $3.50, $4.50, $5.00 and $5.50 per day. The proprietors of these large institutions tell us that these Colored men and women are making good, and they could use a hundred more daily—Write Employment Dept. Wis Weekly Blade, Madison, Wis.

SCISSORED THOUGHTS "As a Republican candidate for governor, Wilcox has the support of The Republican."—Galesville Republican. "Senator Wilcox should carry the republican primary throughout the north and central parts of the state by a unanimous vote. Loyalty is the one large thing of this year. He is right on that question."—Phillips Times. "The favorable mention received by Sen. Roy P. Wilcox with regard to his candidacy for the governorship of this state seems to indicate that he will be a factor in the coming primaries. The republicans will make no mistake in nominating him and the people will make a wise choice if he is elected to the seat of the chief executive of this state."—Algoma Herald. "Senator Roy Wilcox, of Eau Claire, is in the gubernatorial race, and is out to win. We don't claim to be in possession of any advance information or to be endowed with clairvoyant ability, but our guess is that the Senator will have plain sailing with upper --- An intelligent man, whenever he is asked to do any particular thing, unless he is already informed in respect to it, enquires the reason. It is thus he shows his intelligence and if once enlisted in the cause may be relied upon for intelligent service. And so, being asked by us to vote for Roy P. Wilcox for the Republican nomination for Governor, you have a perfect right to ask the reason why. First and foremost, vote for him because he is a 100 per cent American and stands for those things you hold most dearly; clean, able and fearless he relentlessly opposes every separation of the American people into racial, social or religious divisions. He is a fair, conscientious, broad-minded and thoroughly loyal man of big vision; too big to stoop to petty politics; too liberal to judge any man except by the standard applicable to all. He accepts and will perform every duty imposed upon him and he is willing to accord to every man the rights that are his. He will prove himself a most excellent War Governor of Wisconsin. Another equally good reason is that his most dangerous (!) rival for the nomination is the present incumbant, Governor E. L. Philipp, who, in more ways than we have the time to enumerate, has utterly failed to measure up to expectations. Unlike Senator Wilcox, the Governor lacks vision—at any rate we are charitable A REMINDER Governor E. L. Philipp, who is a candidate for the nomination of Governor of Wisconsin is not entitled to the support of the colored people, because it is a known fact that he is prejudiced toward them The governor before his election found time to address his colored brethren at every invitation extended him, and promised them should they honor him with their suffrage and he be elevated to the office of Governor he would give them recognition and a chance and a square deal. For four long years he has given the Race no recognition and when asked to address their gathering he has always been too busy and send his messenger as his representative. This is his right but the Negroes of Wisconsin object and resent such practices, not because the WHY SINGLE OUT THE NEGRO? In his Decoration Day Philipp declared that the igre permitted to vote, that he fa groes who desire to exereis chise.

And voters of Wisconsin to reco There is wisdom in the those who seek to vote. W it is a physical impossibility ligently. We believe in a lie in a literacy test again how you class them, by ra claim. If he is to apply the Mississippi, let him apply it to exercise the rights of Am or white or some sunburnt s the ballot to every AMERIC test, whether that AMERIC votes of the intelligent AM vote of one race or of one s In his Decoration Day address at Baraboo Governor Philipp declared that the ignorant Negro should not be permitted to vote, that he favored a literacy test on all Negroes who desire to exercise the citizens' right of franchise. The Governor, declaring that the Negro does not know how to use the ballot intelligently, said: "When the Negro advances in education (if he ever shall) to the point where he possesses those qualifications that every American voter should possess, he will be in a position to demand his rights and get them." Observe the modifying parenthetical remark, "if he ever shall." Apparently the Governor doubts it. Let his doubt stand without comment, but let us ask the Governor why he limits the literacy test to the Negro. To do so is race discrimination; it is the repudiation of every principle that brought the Republican party into being. It is class discrimination. It is the repudiation of the life labor of Abraham Lincoln. And yet Governor Philipp asks the voters of Wisconsin to recognize him as a Republican. There is wisdom in the demand for a literacy test for those who seek to vote. We agree with the Governor that it is a physical impossibility for the ignorant to vote intelligently. We believe in a literacy test. But we do not believe in a literacy test against any single class, no matter how you class them, by race, color, creed or property claim. If he is to apply the literacy test either here or in Mississippi, let him apply it to everybody who would seek to exercise the rights of American citizenship, be he black or white or some sunburn shade in between—let him give the ballot to every AMERICAN who can pass the literacy test, whether that AMERICAN be man or woman. It is the votes of the intelligent AMERICANS we want, but not the votes of one race or of one sex.—Wis. State Journal. Wisconsin, especially the lake shore counties, behind him, to a man."—Bayfield Press, "The friends of State Senator Roy P. Wilcox cast his hat into the ring as a candidate for the Republican nomination "or governor Of Mr. Wilcox it can truthfully be said that he is one of the ablest men who have served in the state legislature during a number of years. Nobody has seriously criticized his record or any part of it. Of him it may be said, moreover, that instead of trying at any time to conceal his Americanism, he never hesitated to declare it in clear, unequivocal terms. In his public speeches, too, he has shown courage and understanding. In the prime of life, he possesses a very pleasing personality and has many friends. He is an eloquent and forceful speaker and can be depended upon to give a good account of himself in a campaign. It is safe to predict --- enough to attribute his innumerable blunders to a cause over which he has no control—yet with his ear attuned to catch what he believes is the popular will. That is not alone well illustrated by his attitude in respect to the war, conscription, etc., but also by his unjust and unwarranted attack upon Americans of African descent. At a time when all of Europe was wrapped in a mantle of death and destruction and our country was being harrassed by Germany on the sea and Mexico on our Southern border, our Governor could think of no better subject to discuss before veterans of two of our wars, than the Mistakes of Emancipation and the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment. Surely a man who could do that before Spanish War Veterans on Washington's Birthday, 1916, and repeat it before Civil War Veterans on Memorial Day, lacks the "vision" necessary to make a great war governor. This is the answer to your query, "Why Wilcox?" Even if Wilcox were less desirable than he is, still you would owe it to yourself to do nothing that would aid in the election of Governor Philipp. We may, as he charges, "know very little about how to run a government," but we can show the world that we are not so ignorant as not to know when we are attacked. This we can best do at this time by voting for Wilcox. messenger is a Negro, but on account of his position. When the great Negro Exposition was in session at Chicago and the Governors of each State were in attendance on their State day to bid the Negro Godspeed, it was too sad when Wisconsin day came and indeed the Negroes made a creditable showing, a day and time when the Governor or some Dignitary of the State representing him should have been present to encourage our effort we were confronted with his messenger with a long letter. This is the time for the Negroes of Wisconsin to show their manhood, this is the time to register protest against such practices.

"Senator Wilcox is one of the few men in Wisconsin public life today who is big enough to be classed as a statesman. There is no narrow minded prejudice, no compromising with corporate interests and no wavering in public duty in his makeup. Big, broad-minded and loyal, conscientious, fair and honest, he is above the average of men in public life. It was he who fought for equitable tax levies upon war profits, it was he who advocated railway crossing safeguards, it was he who always championed the cause of the farmer and the laboring man. He would not stand by and see his country insulted or its people wronged without lifting his voice in their defense and he never was so happy as when fighting in the cause of liberty and justice."—Bloomer Advance. --- KINNY HAIR Exelento Medicine Co., Atlanta, Ga.

TORGESON Republican Candidate for COUNTY CLERK Primaries Sept. 3rd A WORD IN BEHALF OF RACE Agents are sometimes mistreat- ed at the doors of some of their own people. Some time ago we met a few old acquaintances and tried to renew our friendship by talking business as an agent to them; but when they realized the fact that we were Colored Agents, they had no more for us to do, with the exception of one lady who, in a refined way showed enough courtesy to say that ‘she was not in a position to subscribe at the present time.’” Let us say here, that there is one lesson that some of us should learn that in order to overcome prejudice and obstacles, we must cultivate sociability, kind words, and good deeds and 10 think kind- er of the Agents of our Race, We should also make it a prac- tice to use everything that the Race man has to sell and don’t use anything that the other fellow has, that you can get of the Race man. We would like to get the peo- ple to see the inspiration that our children could get from reading our Colored newspapers and Col- ored literature. Some of our teachers and leaders claim not to be able to take a Negro paper, yet in our travel we find that they are catering to the White dailies in which we seldom see anything uplifting about our people or any mention of the good being done by us; but if one of us should hap- pen to be accused of something degrading, we get a big write-up. So don't tail to take some Ne- gro paper and pay for it then wateh the little Negro weekly grow into a daily. Signed, Mrs, Robt. Whitaker, Milwaukee, Wis.
