Editor Of the Bystander: / note In
your issue Of Friday the 9th 9 very
timely editorial met the attitude Of the
republican party and the Negro and I
desire to hereby express my hearty en-
dorsement of the same and to add the
suggestion that it is time that the Ne
gro voters of Polk County begin to
consider seriously the situation, to stop
their fighting of one another and come
together and put up and support can
didates of their own race. not only
with their votes but with all the in
fuence it is possible for them to bring
to bear upon their friends among both
races. We have Negro candidate for
constable Ira M. Jones. and If all the
Negroes in the township regardless of
sect or creed will only take little in
terest in the matter and try to interest
their friends of both races in it. Let
us do this and thereby nominate and
elect our own candidate for it is use-
Jess for us to expect members of the
other race to do for us what we are
not willing to do for ourselves
Very truly yours.

DOWIE AND HIS ENEMIES

John Alexander Dowie, the self
styled first prophet, who has in
this late age astonished the world
by his doctrine and has built up
Zion City near Chicago, ILL.,, is
about to be deposed by his own
wife and chosen overseer, Voliva.
Dowie has just hasten back from
his Mexican tour to face his ac-
cusors and to re-establish his pro-
phetic authority. Wedo not care
to take sides, yet we are inclined
to think it unwise to try to de-
stroy the very father and founder
of this sect, because of petty jeal-
ousy or personal hatred. Those
people remind US of the colored
race, they are jealous of the sue
cess of one another. There are
always some colored people in the
community ready to depose or
tear down the good you may be
doing.

He was member OF the board when

since it has been in construction, and
as it is nearing completion, it is very
essential that the same board should
remain until it 10 completed, because

cUMMINS FOR GOVERNOR

1t is indeed a pleasure as we'll
as a pride for the Bystander to be
permitted to announce in another
part of this paper the name of
Iowa's honored son and disting-
uished statesman, Hon. Albert B.
Cummins, present Governor, who
has kindly yielded to the wishes
of his many friends to become a
candidate again for Governor.
Not for the mere fact of being
governor for another term, but to
maintain the principles that he
has been struggling to establish
in Iowa; namely: to regulate cor
porate and railroad interest from
control of our state and county
politics, to re-establish the people
in power again, to see that no cor
poratlons receive special privileg-
es, but all must share the burdnes
equally alike, to abolish the abus-
i've railroad pass system, to adjust
the tariff rate, to regulate the
railroad rate charges and to es-
tablish state wide primary elec.
ton. In short he stands for the
people, with the people and of the
people. He has made the best
governor that Iowa has had.
Able, fearless, honest, eloquent,
scholarly and courageous to do
his duty, as ever true public SER
want should do. America has
heard this eloquent son of Iowa,
aui like the citizens will so do
will honor him with greater trust
and duties in national affairs.

ALBERT B. CUMMINS FOR GOVERNOR.

mind mastered each case soon won
for him the leadership of the Polk
county bar and even the state bar.
He was elected to the Legislature
and was a candidate for United
States Senator in 1899, in that
memorable fight against Senator
John H. Gear, and ouly lacked
two votes of being nominated.
In 1900 he was nominated govern
or at Cedar Rapids and was elect
ed by larger majority than any
of his predecessors. He is the
father of the Iowa idea and stands
for the progressive idea on public
affairs. He is a true exponent of
the Roosevelt idea in its fullest
meaning and we predict he will
become his successor. He merits
your earnest support for governor
of Iowa.

LOYALTY, UNITY AND PURITY

Race loyalty, race unity and
race purity are today the three
greatest needs. Indeed this is an
age Of trials and temptations.
Our race is being tried, ridiculed,
killed, murdered and used more
as a tool for some one else than
ever before. We need race 10y
atty to be respected, if we are not
loyal to one another how can we
expect other races to be loyal to
us, or how can we be true to our
selves. Race unity, in the name
of God how can we ever aecomp.
lish much for ourselves or race
when we are divided. Unity of
purpose, unity of action. In
union there is strength. Oh
what power we would WELD if
only we would work togather in
union, harmony and peace. Race
purity, the morals of our race is
ebbing very low, and we are not
doing anything to change the
tide. In fact many of us are sit
ting idly by, and young men and
girls 60 to ruin, We sometimes
help it on and never cry out
against it, We must correct the
immoral conduct of our race; no
one else can do it for us. Let
every minister, teacher and public
man in every community denounce
these wrong things and see that
it is stopped. These things are
doingus more harm than any other
one thing. Let us think and act
we'll our part. There all the
trouble lies.
