Harmony" Bob arrived here on
schedule time Friday afternoon,
and was met at the train by John
z. Lashlee with buggy and con-
veyed to the court house. His first
expression was "back again, boys"
The Senator was presented to the
audience by John p. Lashlee, and
he at once proceeded to rap hard
on the Democrats whom, he said,
had turned Republican, but toward
the close of his talk he made an
eloquent plea for them to "come
on back, boys"
The Senator touched lightly up
on a few of the issues involved in
the campaign, but the greater and
most pertinent questions were pass
ed by and not mentioned. 1t can
hardly be said that he made a
speech, for the time allotted was too
short to permit speech making.
Bob's fun and jokes brought forth
liberal applause, but the crowd was
not enthusiastic at any time, nor
can it he charged that it was bois-
ferrous.
Although it showered at inter
walls throughout the day, the court
house was we'll filled by mixed
crowd of Patterson Democrats, In
dependent Democrats and Repub-
licans. Hickey, who has since dis
appeared, was introduced by John
P. Lashlee, and he proceeded to re-
peat the discredited statements in
regard to the character of Capt.
Ben W. Hooper. This brought
forth applause when the Patterson
leaders gave the signal.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Hickey feature is about the
limit of low peanut politics.
"Our Bob" was completely over
Swallowed by the presence here of
Hickey.
people now know more about
Hickey than they did, and they are
not very proud of him.
Special trains cost considerable
money, and some people are guess
ing as to where the money comes
from.
"Our Bob" can tell his jokes as
we'll as ever; but in the presence of
a funeral they do not seem to be SO
funny,
It is a consolation to his real
friends that the Senator will have
a place and salary after he has been
defeated for Governor.
Hickey was introduced with the
that he sis a good
man." Hickey's neighbors say he
is a falseifer. Take your choice.
Sly old Benton. Failing to draw
a crowd with his funny nomination
for Senator, he slipped in ahead of
Senator Taylor to get the benefit of
the crowd. Sly old Benton!
The Senator's flying campaign
has been badly "hickeyed." The
harmony managers ought to be
ashamed to play SO scurvy trick
upon the "apostle Of sunshine" It
isn't right.
If the Senator was taking any
risks, some of his friends would be
sorry for him. But when he loses
the race for Governor he has
place for two years to come that is
more to his liking.
Senator Taylor neither praised
nor condemned the Patterson ad-
To do either would
be fatal to his future prospects.
He knows this; though un-

NEGRO GAINS VEAL TIL
IN ARKANSAS FARMING
0Id-Fashioned Darkey Declares
He Would Not Change
Places with T. R.

NEW YORK, Aug 1S.-An old fash
Toned Arkansas darkey, one of those
who used to call himself "nigger,"
stood up in the second days session
of the Negro Business Mems league
today and vowed that he would not
change places with Theodore Roosevelt,
big a man as he is.
Come out with us, you niggers," he
told the New York negro, where the
air is free and Godsis good and where
if there is any gumption in you, you
can have more in year than you ever
earned in all your life before
IF you have not a dollar, 1 will give
you farm and chance. Come out to
Arkansas"
The speaker was introduced by Book
er T. Washington as Scott Bond of
Madison, Ark.
"How much are you worth?" an in
quisitive delegate asked.
Scott Bond grinned. WELL" he said,
down in Arkansas they tax us $50 on
every $1,000. I pay few dollars less
than $4,000 year."
A little arithmetic shows that this
tax represents a capital appraised at
nearly $40, 900, consisting, Scott Bond
said, of his own farm, nineteen farms
rented to other negroes cotton gins,
twenty general stores and livestock.
what do you raise?' woman dele
gate asked.
ION my place I raise mules, corn
cotton, tobacco and boys and girls
Other speakers were Booker Il.
Washington, Mrs. Henry Willard, the
daughter of William Lloyd Garrison,
and Garrison's grandson, Oswald Gar
rison Willard, New York editor. Sol
idarity, Mr.. Willard thought, was what
the negro most needed.

VOTES FOR WOMEN CLUB
HEAR SUFFRAG|STS TALK
Recall Sixth Century Discussion
as to Whether Fair Sex
Were SouIIesS

GAS late as the sixth century" said
one speaker at the Votes for Women's
club last night, 'there was big &C.
clesastcal convention in Europe at
which much time was occupied in a
discussion as to whether women pos
sessed souls. BY a small majority it
was decided that they did"
at is lucky for us that they so de-
cided," added the speaker, "for il some
of us now should want to present pc
tition asking that men grant us the
privilege of claiming souls, and took
that petition around for other women
to sign many of them would probably
announce that they had all the souls
they wanted, they couldn't. see the
need for women to have souls when all
the men had them, and that they would
never use them anyway"
The speaker, Mrs. Mary Kenney,
touched upon many points in which
women prove Illogical and argued that
nearly all women look at matters con-
corning their own welfare from
mans standpoint. This contention met
with some dispute but was in the main
approved by manyof the women MEM
bers of this club. The evening was de-
voted to short talks from various
speakers. Mrs. Kenney was followed
by e. Y. Salyer, who put the matter of
votes for women upon the simple man
ly standard that his wife and two
daughters were people, and just as we'll
worth considering as any other peo-
pie.
Miss Mary Foy, one of the brilliant
speakers of the club next took the
floor. She discussed the subject what
women would do first could they have
the ballot number of other speakers
participated in the program which was
a general symposium Reports were
heard concerning the active work now
being done by women in South Dakota
and Illinois who are endeavoring to OBJ
tain the ballot for themselves. The
Rev, Mr. Cantrell, who was to have
been the speaker of the evening, was
called out of town, leaving the program
committee without an orator at the
last minute.
Mrs. G.. w. Mckinney proved a
thoughtful and enthusiastic speaker
rousing the audience to appreciatiVe
anplause Mrs j. w. Price, author of
Colorado state song, who has been a
voter for fifteen years, spoke concern
ing child labor and woman's freedom
you will be much greater state
here when you get woman suffrage"
"T.adies." she exclaimed dramatically,
colorado has no child labor law to
abolish. We have no such thing. We
will not tolerate It," Mrs. Price also
played the accomplishments for several
songs including her own composition
oThe Peace Song" Dixie was sung
later in the evening at the close of the
address of Judge Blackwell of Louisi-
ana, who is the guest of his daughter,
Mrs. w. w. Atkinson, in Oxford boule-
ward.
America, led by Mrs. Rosa Van Rip
or. was sung by all members of the
club. with Mrs. Price at the piano. This
was followed by Star Spangled Ban
