at the capitol and the committee of
ladies was on hand, they having in
the mean while called upon the late
Governor Hammond and also the pres
ent Governor Burnquist. The board
took the case, and though there were
108 petitions, only two were granted
and Jennie Freeman's was one of
them. Lawyer B. S. Smith of Mime
apolis had interested himself some
what in the case and he was requested
to make a plea before the board. He
did so Thursday and was successful
in obtaining the same.
AS the case stands it seems that
Anderson should have been placed be-
hind the bars instead of the girl, as
there are indications that the Mann
white slave act has been violated.
The Federation committee intend to
give the case thorough investigation

Buxton, Iowa, Oct. rs, 1916:
Hon. w. L. Harding, Next Governor
of Iowa, Sioux City, Iowa.
My Dear Governor Harding: / beg
to assure you that I have seen the cir
cular or pamphlet purporting to have
been gotten out against you by some
leading colored men" Of Iowa, stat
ing in substance that you are an
enemy to the colored citizens of this
state and that you framed and promot-
ed and tried to have the Objectionable
"Secret Order Bill" of 1909 passed
against our interest and therefore
urging all colored voters Of Iowa to
vote against you and for a democrat
to be the next governor Of this state.
As the oldest colored member Of the
Iowa State Bar association and as a
member of the legislative committee,
charged with the duty of watching
and trying to prevent hostile legisla-
ton against the colored citizens OF
Iowa, have known you intimately for
wears, personally and officially, and /
have at all times found you not only
fair but friendly to the best interest
of the colored citizens of this state.
No one in a northern state, unac-
ouainted with the artful, deceptive
and misleading workings and methods
of southern democrats in their trained
and skillful efforts to discriminate
against colored people. But the word
ever seen or guessed that there was
ANYTHING wrong with the "Secret Or.
der Bill" There was not line, word
or syllable on the face Of the bill
against colored people. But hte word
ing of it was like the "Grandfather's
Clause" the separate "Jim-Crow' car
acts and segregation ordinances,
framed to outlaw our secret societies
and especially the "colored Elks."
This bill was copy Of tn ebill in
troduced and passed by the democrats
Of Georgia to destroy the organiza-
.tion of colored Elks in that state and
Il had that effect and ruined them
there and caused all northern Elks OF
color to change or modify the name
of their organization from -. r. y.
E." to II. B. P. 0. E." ..%r
Think then of the audacity OF urg-
inc intelligent colored voters to sup
mort a democrat and oppose you De-
cause Of this bill ? :,

EDITORS OBSERVATIONS.

On leaving Quincy, ILL.,, we crossed
the Father Of Waters and entered the
great state of Missouri. In many re-
spects this commonwealth is one of
the greatest and most unique states in
ONE-Bystander- o..
the sisterhood of states. Her indus
tries are so diversified that you could
close her up to herself and she could
clothe and feed her millions of people
without aid from the outside of her
own border. She raises hogs, cattle,
horses, sheep, mules, chickens, tur-
keys, ducks and geese. She grows corn,
oats, wheat, rye, potatoes, pumpkins,
melons and nearly all known cereals.
She has her own apples, peaches,
grapes, plums, cherries, etc. She has
rabbits, squirrels, opossums, coons,
wolves, foxes, etc. She mines iron,
coal, stone. She has her schools, COL
legcs, universities, etc. She has her
own manufactures, factories and
work shops. She has her own COM
mercial clubs and industrial clubs.
She has her own mountains, lakes,
rivers and great springs and health
resorts. Hence I know of nothing else
to say that she needs, for she has
more good looking women and girls
and young men than any state that I
have yet seen, for it was here in Mis-
souri, that got my wife. It was this
state that my father and mother came
from. 1t was in this state that We
editor delivered his first public grafton
on Emancipation day, when was only
II years old, and later taught my first
public school in Holt county. There
fore l have very warm feeling to
the SHOW me" state. Our first stop
was in Hannibal, which is one of Mis-
souri's oldest towns. We did not stop
here only a few hours, so we did not
observe here. We next stopped in
Paris, town Of about 1000 people
OF which 400 are colored. The col
ored people have nice new four-room
brick building with two teachers, Prof.
W. E. Donaldson, assisted by Miss
Berry. Both are experienced and well
qualified. Mrs. B. Lasley is success
ful and highly respected citizen. Mr..
Geo. Berry, Sr., owns valuable prop
erty and is one Of the oldest and in
fiuential race men. Mrs. M. G. Crump

that 1 have set forth the exact truth
about this "bill" just as all the facts
came to me and as understood them
at the time. But if you are to be
censured for mistake which you so
promptly corrected and remedied,
why should you not be praised and
supported for the faithful and valu-
able services you have rendered to the
colored people of this state in our pro-
test against the many southern race
hating bills that came into the 1918
Thirty-fifth general assembly and the
pernicious Miller bill, which was also
carried over into the Thirty-sixth gen.
eral assembly Of 1915? Every man
of our committee knows that we could
always count on you1 helpful influence
against each and every one of these
bills.
You said to me openly and plainly
in the presence of the committee that
you did not believe in any discrimina-
tion against us and would do all in
your power to, prevent any hostile
Legislation against the "colored citi-
zens of Iowa."
If men wish to be honorable and
fair, why not tell the whole truth
about your fairness towards our peo-
pie and then stake the money" or
whatever compensation they are get
ting or epecting to get for asking COL
ored voters of Iowa to stab friend
in the back to elect a democrat?
In the face of the "Wilson adminis-
tration" and its wholesale outrages
against the self-respect of all colored
citizens of these United States I say
no self-respecting colored voter Of
this country anywhere can cast vote
this year that will add prestige or in
i, fuence and power to a democratic
administration" So I wish you to
know that above all other things in
Iowa politics at this time, desire
your election to the governorship. "
The election of democratic gov
ernor in a great republican state like
Iowa would give added injury to the
best interests of the country at large
by placing this state in accord with
the baneful influence of the present
democratic administration at Wash
ington which is destroying the pres
tige Of our great and good country
all over the world.

citizens and all the colored citizens q.

eipn lands have snffe cred more humili-
alton, shame and outrag Be under a tiis "a /

Wilson administration than they have
ever known since the great civil war.
The sectional and rectal hatred fos-
tered and multiplied by this admins
tration has already set the American
wheel of progress back hundred
years and God only knows what four
more years of this nefarious rule
would bring forth. Certainly no self
respecting colored citizen could wish
for its continuance.
l again say that nothing could do
more to give prestige to the national
democratic administration than the
election of democratic governor in
the great state Of Iowa. God forbid
that such calamity should befall us.
I am praying and working for your
election, and I urge all loyal colored
citizens to support you and the en-
tire republican ticket. Very truly
yours, Geo. H. Woodson.
