NEGROES SHOULD WORK FOR G.
@. p. SUCCESS.

Negro Republicans should not be
satisfied with casting their own vote
for the Republican candidates next
Tuesday, but should work Industrious
ly to win votes for the Republican
ticket, and help to redeem the state
from Democratic misrule.
With a solid Negro vote for the Re
publican ticket in Missouri, there is
little or no doubt that the electoral
vote of the state will be delivered to
Hughes. The strength of the Negro
vote as a balance of power in this
state has been amply demonstrated,
and it is up to the Negro to make
good at this election, by showing an
united front at the polls on election
day.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the
danger in which we as a people stand
as to u manhood rights, If the Re.
publicans fail to win in this election,
in view of what has already been
done by the present administration at
Washington to eliminate the Negro
from the service of the federal gov.
eminent 1t must be perfectly plain to
all but those who refuse to see that
four years more of Wilson in the
White House will mean the probable
destruction of all of our civil rights.
All u rights are in jeopardy. II

is a real danger that menace our
rights. There is a tidal wave of race
prejudice sweeping over this country
at this time as the result of President
Wilson's war upon the Negro race
that threatens to envelope and destroy
the last vestage of the privileges we
have, and unless we awaken to the
gravity of our danger and get busy
the calamity may yet fall upon us and
crush u with political e~nslavement.
The paramount issue with every
self respecting Negro in Missouri
should be to do all in his power to
get every Negro vote in his community
into the ballot box next Tuesday, as
a straight Republican vote for every
candidate on the ticket. Take nc
chances. Don't scratch. Vote straight
Make 1t unanimous.
Every vote will be needed. Wake
up the Indifferent voter. Aid the sicl
and the lame to get to the polls and
whip the backslider into line. Work
and watch and pray for the success
Of the Republican ticket. "Eterna,
vigilance is the price Of liberty"

NEGROES BEWARE
DEMOCRATIC PERIL
YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS ARE IN
JEOPARDY.

No national election since the Civil
War has been fraught with SO much
peril to the manhood rights of the
Negro American as the n which is
to be held next Tuesday, November Z.
1916. On next Tuesday the Negro
citizens win face the greatest crisis
of their career. They have just cause
for alarm, and the peril that threat
ems them a be averted only by the
wise use of the ballot.
THE DEMOCRATIC PERIL.
The issues upon which the future
welfare of the Negro citizen depend
are so clearly marked that none but a
mind that is fulfully deprayed or per-
verted could fail to comprehend. take
warning and act in self defense. A
man who is SO depraved as to vote
against his own interest. is unworthy
Of citizenship and deserves to lose it.
No greater disaster could come to
the Negro American "a the result Of
next Tuesdays election than the re-

vacancy caused by the death of Prof.
Foster, it is hard to see how his name
was overlooked in making out the

such is given out as being the cause
of the omission, which proved very

election of Woodrow Wilson to the
years, with a Democratic Congress
to support and enforce with legisla-
tive action, his policies and recon
mendations.
OF the many policies which Presi-
dent Wilson has adopted during his
present administration, the only one
from which he has not deviated, is
the policy of persecution and humili-
alton of the Negro American, which
he adopted and put into practice as
o o as he entered the White House.
By hostile acts and utterances against
individuals and against the race as a
whole, President Wilson has proven
himself the most implacable enemy
that ever occupied the White House.
The course pursued by President
Wilson during the three and a half
years he has been in office has
proven that he is ~irrevocably ON
mitted to the infamous policy Of seq
regation and elimination of the Negro
American from the government SER
vice, and measures consistent with
this policy, that have been introduced
in Congress, by Democrats, leave no
room for doubt that it is his purpose
to bring about the complete d~isfran-
chisement of the Negro American and
reduce him to a condition far worse
than chattle slavery.
II fc innnnnofvah1 a that anu NaOro
American, who has the least degree
of manhood will east his ballot next
Tuesday, for Woodrow Wilson, or for
any Democratic congressman or SEN
ator, for to do so will be a deliberate
act of political suicide.
SOLID VOTE FOR HUGHES Me-
GRo'S ONLY SALVATION.
The only hope of salvation for the
Negro American in next Tuesdays
election is in a solid vote for Hughes
and the Republican candidates for
congress. Republican victory next
Tuesday means more to Negro Amer.
leans than to any other class Of citi-
aus. The Republican party is com
mitted to the policy of freedom and
equal rights and opportunity for all
men, without regard to color, race
or condition.
The return of the Republican party
to power will mean the restoration
to the Negro American of all of the
rights, privileges and patronage of
which they were deliberately deprived
by President Wilson, and new oppor.
tunities for progress will be opened
to them by Charles E. Hughes.
Republican victory in the State OF
Missouri means even more to the Ne.
gro voters of the state. 1t means the
election of Judge Lamm, as governor
and the election of Walter S. Dickey
for United States Senator. 1t also
means the giving of the electoral vote
of Missouri to Hughes for President,
1t also means the defeat of United
States Senator Jas. A. Reed, who led
the Democratic members of congress
in an attack upon the manhood rights
of the Negro race, and who will do
all in his power to disfranchise them,
if reelected.
