KELLER FOR BOARD Of SUPER
VISORS.

The name of C. w. Keller is SUBJ
mitted to the voters of the Third su-
pervisor's district as candidate for
supervisor for his second term, sub
ject to the primaries in June. Mr..
Keller was born in Polk county, Iowa,
in 1874 on a farm, attended the pub
lie schools and has lived on the farm
all Of his life. He is an active repub-
lican worker and has made his way
from the common walks Of Life to the
present station and therefore is in full
sympathy with the progress Of the
common people. He has made an ex-
cellent member of the board the last
two years and it is but fair that he
should be given his second term. He
has always stood by the colored peo-
pie when any question would arise
before the board affecting their inter-
est, and for that reason the colored
voters at this time should not desert
him for his second term; therefore he
solicits your support.

It is our good pleasure to present
to our readers the cut Of Hon. Cas-
sius C. Dowell of Des Moines, Iowa,
who is a candidate from the Seventh
congressional district. He was born
on a farm in Warren county, Iowa,
and is we'll qualified for the position
to which he aspires. He served nine
years as member Of the state senate
eight Of which he was chairman OF
the judiciary committee. In addition
to this important legislative training,
he is forceful public speaker, a con.
sistent republican, and his nomina'
ton will greatly strengthen the re-
publican ticket in November. He So
licits the support Of all republicans
believing that he can render import
ant service to his district and state in
the national legislature.
We can say that without a doubt
that Mr.. Dowell has been fair with
the colored people on all questions and
he is intensely interested in the prog
ress that the race is making. Coming
up from the common walks of life
he can sympathize with them and will
give them equal justice if elected.
have known him for many years and
can vouch for the above statement
His many colored friends throughout
this district are asking your honest
support in his behalf at the coming
primaries. H. s5.@ .r~-a

Judge Lee is unquestionably eligible
for the high office he seeks, both by
his educational qualifications, his
splendid service as a Judge and his
broad ideas and liberal views upon
the many public questions that are at
fecting the people. He feels, and
many honest republicans do, that this
capitol extension is a useless expendi-
ture of the peoples money, and in his
letter to G. A. Rawson, chairman Of
the state central committee, he at
tacks Governor Clarke upon that is
sue. Judge Lee is true and tried
friend Of the colored race and has in
his past dealings treated them with
equal justice and will no doubt do the
same if promoted to the high office Of
governor. His many friends through
out the state are asking your support
for him June 1st.

We present this week the true like
ness of Mr.. Clark B. Ellis, better
known as Bailey Ellis, Of Monona
county, Iowa, who is a candidate for
auditor Of state, subject to the pri-
maries June 1st. Mr., Ellis was born
in Harrison county, Iowa, in 1868, and
was educated in the public schools and
also graduated from the high school.
He lived on a farm many years and
was elected county auditor of Monona
county for eight years. He came
from there to Des Moines, where he
was chief clerk of the banking de-
partment in the state auditors Office
for four years, and at present he is
state examiner Of county accounts.
Mr.. Ellis, therefore, knows fully the
duties of the state auditors Office and
by his age, experience and qualifica-
tion he would no doubt make an ideal
state auditor. He has never held or
asked or a state Office before, al
though he has been an active republi-
can worker all his life. He will treat
all races and all classes fair, equal
and just, as has been his dealings in
the past years Of his life, and his
many friends earnestly soicit your
vote in his behalf June 1st.

IOWA WOMAN's CLUBS On SEC.
REGATION.
Will Be Called Upon To Take Stand
For Or Against Race Segre-
CATION.

On next week there will come to Our
city the Iowa Federation Of Colored
Won1an's Clubs in their annual ses-
sion. It will be representative from
every viewpoint, all parts Of the state,
all classes, all the different religious
denominations will be here, while
there doubtless will be many ques-
tions of general interest to the well
fare of the race. Yet one question
that has worked up the citizens Of
Des Moines in particular is PROPOSE
ton to establish a school and home
for the Negro girls and teach them
some useful trade, art or domestic
science in or near our city. Recently
a mass meeting was held at one Of
our local churches to consider the
feasibility of such school or home
in Iowa and they went on record as
opposing such an institution, which in
my humble judgment was right. l
want to emphasize this fact and be
placed on record as opposing drawing
the color line, segregation or Jim
Growing our own selves. 1have lived
in Iowa at one time when there was
no segregation or special seats or col
unns set aside for colored people. l
am utterly opposed to it and today
our rights, privileges and accommoda-
tions are being curbed and narrowed
down little by little until Iowa will
be like most Of the southern states.
The worst thing that we have had to
bring this segregation idea is this
Jim Crow Afro-American column we
have in one Of our city daily papers.
The stuff that is printed there is rid
iculous and laughed at by the white
man who is thoughtful as a poor
exhibition Of race progress. That
little column has set us back many
| wears. It has caused men and women
to lose good jobs and on the other
lhand it has caused our race enemaes,
those who do not want to see us enjoy
full equality, to say that the Negro
himself wants to be separated from
Us. wants to be segregated, wants
senarate accommodations and separ-
ate entertainments, and now for the
! Iowa Federation of Colored Clubs to
ask for separate school for coloreo
girls when all Of our state schools
7 ana eleemosynaries take colored '
girls without complaint, SO It Wouio y
he indeed q foolish thing to start start
such q school when our state lnstltu' l'
