THE BIG DIFFERENCE.

The Negro Voters League held a
meeting which was reported in our
last issue.
In spite of the fact that the repudia-
ton of Mr.. Frankson was the key
note, all those present registered
their approval, including the Hon.
w r. Morris.-who has been until
recent date recognized as the leader
of the Negroes, at the meeting OH
Oct. 3lst, he urgently advised his few
hearers to "Vote the Republican
ticket from top to bottom and bottom
to top" mot to scratch anybody"
Mr.. Morris has nothing to lose by
defending the race and those loyal
supporters of The Star, but he ad-
mits that he is Montgomery's friend,
and from his past and present per-
formance we are led to believe that
he is "in with" the Advocate, which
places the label of "a friend of the
race" on every one whom the Star
exposes.

OTTO S. lANGUM
The Man for Mayor.
A TIP TO THE WATERS.

A few more days and the result OF
the election will be history. l believe
every race loving, patriotic black
American will vote for Chas. E
Hughes and the Republican Party.
In the Msyorality or non-partisan
race there seems to be few Negroes,
who are championing the cause oi
Mr.. Van Lear, who so far as public
life is concerned is an unknown guam
tity. The majority of those few are
hotel and cafe employees, who believe
under the promised liberal administra-
ton of Mr.. Van Lear their remunera-
tons for services would be greater.
This idea, is indeed, absurd. Mr.. Van
Lear is a gentleman, but the party
with which he is affiliated makes him
an illogical candidate for the chief
executive of great city like Mime
apolis. Our city, with its picturesque
environments has long been proud Of
it's industrial and commercial prog
ress, but under a Socialistic admins
tration the city would lose that dis
tinction.
-. The Socialist Party is so incon-
sistent in its policies that outside
capital would be afraid to further fl
nance the numerous enterprises, the
result would be obvious. Our city's
growth and prosperity would be re-
tarded.
The Negro Waiter.
The Negro waiter should deliberate
long and we'll before he arrays him
self on the side of the Socialist party
and Mr.. Van Lear. The white wait
ers of Minneapolis recently organized
a union which affiliates with the
Cooks Union and other labor or
ganizations.
The Negro waiter is not affiliated
with these organizations and has al
ways been bone of contention with
them. The unions are supporting Mr.
Van Lear, and if he is elected II
will be victory for Unionism, and
they will be the beneficiaries under
the administration. The Negro would
be the first to suffer. The white
union walters would demand the
Negro walters jobs, the cooks
would walk out, they would influence
the proprietors of the various hotels
and cafes and the result would DC
that many Negroes would be without
employment. If you want such con-
dition to exist, vote for Mr.. Van
Lear.
Mr.. Langum has been the Sheriff OF
Hennepin Co. for a number OF years
and in the discharge of his duty has
made record of which he is justly
proud. Contrary to Mr.. Van Lear ne
is not an unknown quantity. Sheriff
Langum has always been fair and
impartial to our race, and has the
endorsement of all the great men ol
our city. He will be our next Mayor
Therefore if you wish to retain your
places, and wish to see our city con
tinue to grow and prosper; Vote tor
our next Mayor, Otto s. Langum.
Hamlet B. Rowe.

Joel L. Priest, general agent for

ceiyed the following telegram from,
H. V. Platt, vice president and gen
eral manager, who is at present in
Los Angeles:
mo wthat our Idaho boys have
returned and had an opportunity to
spend their Christmas at home, I de-
sire to offer through you employment
to such of them as we can place in
our service and in such capacities as
they are best suited to fill, assuming
that many of them sacrificed their
positions.
81 am prompted to do this at this
time feeling that they responded TO
the call of duty in service Of their
country, which stamps them as pos
sessing the spirit of loyalty which
ye prize SO highly in our service,
and further that they have beef
ubiected to the proper kind of dis
cipIine and by their intelligence ap-
-eciate the advantage of good dis
ipline.

nickerbocker and Mr. Hinckley al

SOLDIDR BOYS
COME HOME
Second Idaho Regiment
Is at Boise Waiting to
Be Mustered out.

The Idaho regiment returned Sat
urday from the border, being day
| behind the time scheduled for their
arrival The boys received a royal
welcome at Boise, befitting the SER
vice they have rendered to the
state. They came back benefited in
every way by the training they IN
derwent, and understanding better
ne duties of citizenship. Their rec
ord on the border is one of which
ley, and every citizen of Idaho,
may well be proud. They have done
no less, and also no more, than Ida
h1 expected of them. We knew
{ en- before they went, and they re-
turn to us the same as they left; a
little bit older, little bit more
hardened to physical endurance;
lite bit more experienced in the
duties of citizenship; and infinitely
he er equipped to serve the state
should opportunity offer On the
VII le the service they have rem
dered in addition to demonstrating
their fidelity to their country, has
been OF immeasurable benefit to-
themselves. They have been taught
obedience to authority, without
which government could not exist
They have been instructed in habit
OF regularity and promptitude, VII
tue almost neglected during thes,
latter days. They have learned hov
to care for their own persons an
their personal belongings. The,
have been taught the primary les
sons of cleanliness, and their value
to future health. They come bacl
to us the picture of health and ac.
tiVity as evidence that their train
ing has been effective.
While we sympathized with those
mothers who, a little while back.
we're anXiously and almost hysteri-
caIly petitfonfng for the return Of
the boys, there was nothing then
and there is nothing now, to worr,
about. They will be detained
Boise little bit longer while in
quarantine because of some cases o
measles contracted before the regi.
ment left Nogales. The quarantine
WIFI seem to work little hardshir
on the boys, and the mothers will
worry because of their detention
which is to be expected, but which
Is absolutely unnecessary. The gov
ernment will turn them back to us
as soon as it can be safely done.
Idaho had cause to be proud OF
the 1st Idaho, whose valor was at
tested by the blood of its mem
bers in the Philippines. Shen is
proud Of the 2nd Idaho, whose pro
ficiency has met with the approval OF
the most exactfng of army experts
on the border. 1dsho never ex-
pected her boys to do less than they
lave done. But still, we're prov
because they didn't and we're glad
that others have recognized and ap-
preciated the manhood of Idaho.
