WORLDS RECORDS
MAY Be BROKEN
Speed Kings of America Coming
to Minnesota State Fair Auto
Races.

The greatest auto racing program
ever offered to the Northwest will be
presented at the Minnesota State Fair,
Sept. IL. Never in the history of HAM
line have so many drivers of interna-
tiOnal reputation competed against
each other.
Over $1,000 in prizes have been Of
fered for worlds records by the Min
nesota State Fair. Four drivers, pilot
ing the greatest cars ever built here or
abroad, have entered the one-mile and
f1ve-mile exhibition time trials in an
endavor to win this money. These
four speed kings are Barney Oldfield,
Louis Disbrow, Eddie Rickenbacher,
and Bill Knipper. Some sensational
driving is promised.
Lively Time Promised.
Oldfeld, in his great 200 horsepower
front-drive Christie and famous Fiat
Cyclone, has put up forfeit that he
will drive a mile one second faster
than any other driver. Louis Disbrow,
holder of more worlds records than
any other man, is under forfeit to do

Eddie Rickenbacher, winner of the
famous 300-miles Sioux City Speedway
race, July 4, has entered his Dusen-
berg car used on the Fourth. At Sioux
City he won over the greatest pilots
in America. Bill Kniprer has entered
the Delage car piloted by Rene
Thomas, the Frenchman who won the
Worlds Speedway race at Indianapolis
on Decoration Day. There are follow
ers of the game who assert that the
Delage and Dusenberg cars are the
two best ever built.
Eddie Hearne Coming.
Eddie Hearne, the noted Chicago
pilot, who posed as team-mate to
wild Bill" Endicott last year, has en-
tered the Hamline races. Johnny
Raimey, driver of the Ohio 999 last
year, is another entry. Others already
entered are Fred Horey, of st. Paul,
and Joe Cleary, of Chicago.
History will undoubtedly be written
when all these men get together.

No senarate meetings are necessary

No senarate meetings are necessary
for the German, Irish, Jew, Italian or
any English-speaking race of Re-
publicans, then why in the name of all
that is honest and fair are such meet
ings necessary for Afro-American Re-
publicans. Afro-Americans do not de-
mand more than their share of re-
cognition in appointments, based upon
their numerical strength, and they will
never be satisfied with less. All
voters in the Republican Party should
have the right to express their pref
erences for men who desire their sup
port at the polls, and this can only be
done by Afro-American representa-
lives being admitted to the party
councils where the selections OF the
party organization are discussed This

by the party organizations can in all

LYNCHERS' CORPS.

War devastates Europe. The Chris
tian" emperors have ordered the fool
poor people to go out and kill one an
other and after attending church where
their swords are blessed by the priests
and they pray to God for success, the
massacre starts.
THE APPEAL wishes to call the
attention of the murder-mad monarc.i>

corps in this country, which for eff
cheney in it's chosen line would make
the most ferCEious, blood-thirsty and
inhuman generals look like lot of

man, also of South Carolina, the man
who boosted in the United States

their rights as free men, would be an
ideal man for chief of staff. Ben is

he knows more about the Bible than
any other Senator.
Senator Vardaman, that great "Chris-

undoing of colored brethren; Senator

ABILITY CAUSES RACE HATRED.

A novel explanation of the Russian
dislike for the Jew has been given by
Count Alexander Scherbatskoy, coun-
cillor of the Russian embassy in Wash
ington.
The count said that Russians object
ed to Jews because they were more
capable than the Russians and not be-
cause they were of different race and
faith.
There is not much difference be-
tween the Jewish question in Russia
and the Japanese question in Califor~
nia," he declared. "The Californians
know the Japs are more clever than
they are. The Russians know that
they can not compete with the Jews.
Their fear of the Jews is based on eco
nomic considerations"

COWARDLY COLORED OURS.

The wires tell us that thirty col
ored men watched the lynching of Rosa
Carson at Orangeburg, S. c., but offer
ed no resistance"
It is great shame and disgrace to
the race that thirty Afro-Americans
stood by and failed to give their lives,
if necessary, in attempting to prevent
the lynching of one of their women.
They could not have died in a holier
cause and the knowledge that they had
fought to death in defense of the law
would have made the next mob hest
tate-all mobs are cowardly.
Any Afro-Americans who stand by
and see the law outraged and one of
their women lynched are worse than
towards.

Jewish Girl Outraged and Crucified
~ BY Russians.
Berlin-One of the most revolving
crimes in the dark history of Russia
was reported here in special dispatch
from st. Petersburg, telling of three
Russian youths having outraged and
then crucified the daughter Of a poor
Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the
Volga.
After outraging the young girl, the
dispatch declares, the three youths
dragged her to a cemetery, where they
nailed her to a cross above one of
the graves. Nails were driven through
her hands and feet and even through
her eyes. The three murderers were
arrested, but their friends in the town
released them and they escaped, it is
asserted.
