Ruth Bryan Leavitt Announces Can
didaey FOR Congress From First
Colorado District.

Denver, Col, Oct. 5. Ruth Bryan
Leavitt has announced her candidacy
for the democratic nomination for con
gress from the first Colorado district.
With the support Of the Jane Jefferson
Club, of which she is president, Of ex-
Senator Patterson and his papers, and
with her fathers prestige in Colorado
she expects to put Bryan on the pay
roll of the nation again.
But there are mutterings in the Jane
jefferson Club. There are members
much older tnan Mrs. Leavitt, some
of them old enough to be her mother,
who believe that if woman is to be
sent to congress from Colorado. the
elder stateswomen should furnish the
timber. They are perfectly willing to
have Mrs. Leavitt go to congress from
Colorado six or eight years from now,
when she has become mature and we'll
poised. they say, but just now they
want the place for one of their number
However. Mrs Leavitt and her
friends are going ahead with their
plans. The republican women are
busy along the same line and the wife
of Marshall Dewey c. Bailey may be
a candidate before the republican first
district convention;

Career Of Woman Who Helped 20

Found Underground Railroad.
Mrs. Harriet Tubman-Davis, who
was one Of the founders Of the under
ground railroad, nurse and scout In
the Union army and the friend Of
hany statesmen, is now in the ninety
sixth year Of her age. 1t is said that
Mrs. Tubman was the only woman
who served unattached through the
entire war as scout spy and army
nurse. She took her life in her hands
many times and for her services OBJ
tained pension from congress q num-
Der of years ago. She Is proud Of the
fact that she wore trousers for time
and carried musket, canteen and hav-
ersack. When In 1853 1t was decided
to use Negro troops Mrs. Tubman
pleaded to be appointed an army
nurse. When the famous Fifty-f0urth

away from camp at Readville, Mass.
under command OF Colonel Robert
Gould Shaw, she left for the south
with commission in her dress pocket
from Governor Andrew. Down at
Port Royal she cooked for Colonel
Shaw and dined with him, too, on oc-s
casions when she had important in
formation to impart.
When she was not acting as cook she
was turned loose to browse around In
the enemy's lines, where she listened
and returned to repeat many things to
the Union officers which they were
glad to know. On One occasion she
informed Major General Hunter at
Hilton Head Of mines planted in the
river, ana several gunboats sent to the
scene removed lot Of torpedoes that
would have smashed an expedition
that was about to pass over this dan
gerous ground.
Later she went to Fort Wagner,
where the Negro troops from Boston
made their famous charge and where
Colonel Shaw lost his life. She helped
to bury the dead and worked night
and day among the wounded.
Mrs. Tubman lived for time at the
home OF Emerson in Concord and
spent some time visiting the families OF
william Lloyd Garrison, the Alcotts.

That was nearly two years ago, but
instead of his going BROKE" as some

Though lie wishes it distinctly known
that he is a Negro, he has many more
clients Of the white race than he has
Of his own race. And that is saying q
great deal, for he has among his clients
some Of the leading men Of the race.
MIR. Taylor is nothing II not original.
Nothing to him seems to be SO dis
tasteful as to follow in beaten paths.
3"Blaze your own wayv' he cries. And
he straightway proceeds to "blaze" his
way by shedding flood of light on
the ways and doings Of Wall street.
"Let the people know what Wall
street is; tell them how to select the
good and how to shun the bad-in fine,
be frank with them. and the battle ts
won," is his straightforward program.
To accomplish this mission he pub
fishes monthly bright and informing
little paper known as the Wall Street
Guide, which u making for itself a
unique place among the many Wall
street publications. It ought to 60
into 100000 Negro homes each month,
for, If so, not only would it safeguard
those who are inclined to invest their
hard earned savings against the many
unprincipled men who roam at large
selling wildcat stock, but it would
show them how to invest safely and
profitably.
Every member of the race should be
proud Of Mr.. Taylor and thousands
should read monthly the Wall Street
Guide.
