NEGRO VOTES CAST AGAINST
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
FOR MAYOR.
Determined Effort
Should BE Made BY All Racial
Forces to Stamp Out Tuberculosis,
Declares Curtis, Speaking Before
Medical Association.

Baltimore, Md, May 10-Some Of
the small-fry Republican politicians
are still hot under the collar because
several thousand colored voters re-
fused to support E. Clay Timanus
for mayor, thus allowing the Demo
cratic candidate, James H. Preston
to pull through by a majority Of lit
tie over 500 votes.
Preston's candidacy was strongly
opposed by many Democrats and in
dependents and the publicans
were strongly hopeful, as they coun-
ted on full race vote. But when
they woke up last Wednesday and
found ont that pathy and hostility
on the part Of several thousands Of
colored voters had allowed Demo-
cracy to win, some Of the whites
declared that henceforth they would
be disfranchisemen advocates.
The hostility Of colored voters to
Mr.. Timanus was due 20 the fact that
he manifested absolutely no inter-
est in the colored voter when he
served as Mayor several years ago
and that he had caused the arrest
some weeks ago Of a colored man
who had asked him to change a
$5O-bln.
Despite the fact some white Re-
publicans are now disposed to kick
against the Negro, the Republican
organization will work as hard next
fall to encompass the defeat Of the
Digges disfranchiseNe bills as they
did with the previous two amend
ments.
"While I deplore the fact, said
Republican State Chairman to your
correspondent, that several thousand
colored men Gid not support the
ticket, yet / remember With-~satis-
faction that ~ 900 did. The close
ness Of the vote by which Timanus
was defeated will make us work still
harder for Republican success in the
fan. when the Governor and other
State officials are to be elected. My
only regrets about the election Tues
day was that, while the greater num-
Dcr Of cOlOred men saw the main is
sue, that those who 'did not support
Timanus forgot that the Democracy
is after curtailng their rights and
that they should have for their own
SalVallOn S"diloWth lHi"liuo Hoo 'h"'
HANDS would have been greatly
strengthened in the great night
against disfranchisement.'

QUEEN SNUbS SOME
 AMERICAN WOMEN

London, May 20-(Special) )-Queen Mary loses no oportunity to let some American women here know they do not enjoy the favors from her that King Ed ward and Queen Alexandra bestowed on them.
 She snubbed Mrs. Ava Willing-Astor yesterday in Hyde Park and today made known the first royal snub for the Ouch . ess of Marlborough, formerly Consuelo Vanderbilt.
 last nights state ball at Buckingham palace, in honor of the German Emperor and Empress was published today it did not contain the name of the Duchess of Marlborough.
 The former Miss Vanderbilt is the only duchess in the kingdom who was not ln- vited Practically all titled American women were present. The royal snubs
 to Mrs Astor and the Duchess of Mari borough prove the accuracyoof the state ment that the King and Queen are deter
 mined not to honor peeresses living apart
 from their. husbands with invitations to royal functions. This includes the coro- nation.
 The ban, however, does not apply lt } divorcees who have remarried. This fac is demonstrated by the presence of Mrs Waldorf Astor, who wore the famous Astor diamonds at the ball last night.
 When Mrs Ava Willing-Astor was
 driving through Hyde park yesterday her motor car was Nhalted while Queen Mary passed near Stanhope gate. Mrs.
 Astor bowed as low as she could, being seated. of course Those who saw it say the Queen did no more than drop her eye l lids in acknowledgement of Mrs. Astor' s salutati0n.
 The contrast between the costumes of the two women was striking. Mrs. Astor was perfect picture of modern smart ness" the Queen wore one of the sedate | British gowns of which she seems so | proud.
 Mrs Astor's black satin gown chung to | her so closely that one wondered how she l contrived to sit down without something; happening. The neck of her corsage was | cut very low, revealing dazzlingly

THE WIZARD WONDER
His Demonstrations in His Apart

Create Amusement Among
Those Who Consult
Him

At the invitation of Prof ]. Fran
els Brennan, a representative of The
Republican visited the apartments of
that wizard wonder at the Wharton
house, yesterday and was given a
few demonstrations of the class Of
work Mr.. Brennan is doing in PhOe-
nix
Upon arriving at the apartments it
was necessary for the press repre-
sentative to fall into line and await
his turn for an audience with the
professor. At last he was called and
without being asked a question he
was told his name. birthplace, age,
the amount of money he had in his
pocket (this was a small matter),
and many other things which Mir.
brennan could not have known with
cut the aid of some other power.
Prof. Brennan produced a 800 bin
which had been given to him as a

clients whom he had advised not to
sell his property at the price he was
then offered assuring his client that

obey. our brothers, fathers and hus-
bands say we do not need to mix up

Have you done this?
Second the best men of the land
should be the ones to make the laws

a love for humanity in their hearts.
and good judgment to see that no law
is passed that will work against any
class of people and to the advantage
of some other class. No law should
be passed that gives one person or
company of persons licenses and privi-
leges that are forbidden to another per-
son or class of persons. II such a law
is passed it is contrary TO the constitu-
void. But nevertheless there are many
of these unjust laws in force today.
As stated above, the best men should
be the Lawmakers. Are the best men
sent to make the laws? No. In most
cases the personality of the man is not
thought of-and the elections in near
~ every case are said 10 be governed
by the worst element among voters. and
