Sell Crops to Wives
To EVade Contracts
Apple Growers Of Hood River Dis
trlct Try to Deal With Rival
Oregon Sales Agencies.

HOOD RIVER, OREG., Sept. 20
The North Pacific Fruit Exchange has
entered the Hood River field for the
first time in competition with the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors for
the handling of the Hood River Val
ley apple crop this season that will
approximate 900 900 boxes.
1t is learned that q large number
who signed up for the distributors
are crawling out of their contracts
by selling their crops to their wives,
who did not sign the original con-
tracts, and they in turn are signing
up half with the exchange and half
with the distributors.
On this basis 1t is figured that
whichever concern reports the best
returns this season will control the
valleys output for next season. 1t
is reported that the matter of 'fiuk-
ing" out of contracts by selling the
crop to wives who did not sign the
original contracts may be tried in the
courts.

some consideration, as citizens and
tax payers, he has failed to give
these petitions the due measure OF
respect In view of this disregard Of
the rights, privileges and petitions Of
the Negro citizens, we would like to
ask in all candor, on what grounds
he requests the Negro to vote for
him. 1t is predicted that if Mr.
Steinback is elected, conditions will
be worse for the Negro within the
short period of six months after he
has taken the oath of Office. There
will not be a Negro working on the
corporation force. Before casting
your votes, investigate the scavenger
force in West Nashville, you will find
that the Negro force has been re-
duced to three in number very re-
Gently. Such discrimination as this
would not go if Mr.. Elliott were
elected, because they had always
been faithful employees. 1t is ru-
mored that if Mr.. Elliott is elected,
he will vote to raise the wages, in
stead of lowering them.
TO have safe and sane govern
ment under our commission form Of
government, let us not cast our vote
for man that has bankrupted. We
are reliably informed that one of his
opponents that is asking for your
vote is man of this character
If you want a progressive govern
ment, good order, laws properly adj
ministered and the rights of all citi-
zens respected without regard to
race or color; if you want the Ne
gro tax-paying citizens to be given
proper consideration with regard to
public improvements in the sections
where they live, on the 18th day Of
September, 1918, cast your vote for
Robert Elliott for the Commissioner
of Water Works, Street Cleaning and
Work House.

To the Colored Voters of Nashville:
Several good and substantial rea-
sons why the colored voters should
cast their votes for Robert Elliott for
the Commissioner of Water Works,
Street Cleaning and Work House:
In the first place, he did not seek
the office, but the Office sought him.
His candidacy is the result of an un-
usual degree of pressure from a non
partisan committee representing hun
dreds of voters of the best citizens of
Nashville. 1t is not necessary for
him to seek a job, for he fills at this
time some of the most responsible
positions held by any man in Nash
vile.
In the second place, he believes in
progress, good government and laws
administered without regard to color.
And in the third place, for the pre-
vention of graft by the city officials
or employees working under their di-
Tection. Mr.. Elliott is not a politl-
clan, he is a man of affairs, a bust
ness man whose marvellous success is
the most striking evidence Of his
ability. He is not an extremist, he is
sane and practical, honest and earn
est. His many years of experience
and his successful business career fit
him for the Office to which heaspires.
He came to Nashville thirty years
ago without dollar, and went to
work as a bricklayer for the large
and prosperous firm of which he is
now president. He is a staunch
friend of the laboring man, who is
the bone and sinew of the nation. AS
evidence of that fact, he never en-
courages an attempt to ignore or do
away with Negro labor, or to de-
crease the pay which they get for
their service. He employs fifteen
colored brickmasons regularly, pay
ing them splendid salaries without
any discrimination whatever between
them and the masons of the other
races.
One of his opponents, Mr.. Geo.
Steinback, has been a public official
for twenty years, and is now chair
man Of the Board of Public Works.
He is also asking to be elected to
this position. Mr.. Steinback is claim
ing that the colored fire department
of East Nashville came through his
efforts. This statement is not quite
correct. 1t was through the efforts
of Mr.. Hooper Phillips, that the Ne
groes were appointed firemen. Along
with this appointment they received
other positions at Mr.. Phillips hand,
and have lost them at the hand of
Mr.. Steinback. These Negro fire.
men have continued to hold their po-
sitions, only because they proved
themselves to be worthy of the trust
reposed in them.
Mr.. Elliott has worked side by
side with the Negro and understands
him thoroughly, and is therefore in
full sympathy with him. He now
employs $50 to 200 Negroes, paying
them from 20 to GO cents per hour,
all of whom are paid in cash every
Saturday.
Mr.. Steinbac1 has failed to give
the Negro any recognition.
In the oath, 25th, Goth and other
wards, the Negro taxpayers have
poor lights, undesirable street, and
despite the fact that they have pc
titioned him as chairman of the
Board Of Public Works, to give them

Candidate for denomination.

August Menge will be candidate to
succeed himself as school trustee, at
the school election to be held on Monday,
July 14th. Mr.. Menge has been a men,
ber of the board and its secretary for
several years, and has always been a
most careful and competent official,
giving the people of the entire town
ship the best of service.
During the recent years the school
board has built number of new build
ings, placed our school on the univers-
ty list, and gradually worked out the
scheme for the general betterment OF
the schools. Their plans contain further
improvements such as manual training
and the teaching of domestic science.
and acquiring such improvements in our
schools, the results will be more speed
lily gained by continuing Mr.. Menge in
office, as he is familiar with the efforts
now being made by the board.
AS secretary of the board, Mr..
Menge has perfection which is neces-
sary, and as an official he would be
hard to replace. Upon the secretary
devolves personally such action as OBJ
tains the fullest amount OF primary
school money, and it is refreshing to
know that this township has never
spent dollar of such money through
improper repairs or for any other
reason. Such services faithfully merits
continuance in office.

two honorable men in L'Anse township

| to Northern Michigan from Pennsyl
vania and in 1878 started the first saw
mill built in this county and which to-
diy is monument to his ability, IN
t.grity and far-seeing judgment. He
also advocated the education of the
children in Pequaming, seeing that
they had all the comforts and the best
of teachers.
The Mission school was named after
! Oscar j. Foote, who was elected No
vember 16, 1858 was elected as one of
one of the members of the first b oard
of education of L'Anse township, then
in Houghton county. He served the
citizens faithfully for Is years. The
| first schoolhouse was built on the Bay
Shore at cost of SIS and library es-
tablished. The petittion requesting
the erection of schoolhouse was
signed by such early residents as Peter
! Crebassa, Nelson Magnant, August
Bachand, John Hotley, Henry Hougs-
tod and David Pennock and presenteS
, to the boa-d for consideration on Dee.
10, 1858.
The action of the board in commem-
Grating these schools to two of the ear
ly residents is commended by all our
citizens.
