POLITICAL PLUMs AND THE STAR

Let all the world know that the Star
ia not looking for anything from Mr..
Carlson's administration if he happens
to he so fortunate as to win. We have
received nothing in way of compensa-
tion for the expense incurred by US
two wears ago. The same men are at
the helm, with the same story, poor
mans campaign" yet money is being
spent right and left, but not so that
the Negroes would receive any benent
from it, directly. Donate your ser
vices to your party" is the slogan,
hit somehow greater recognition ID
given those who work and get pay
than those who are SO loyal and de-
voted and sacrificing as to donate
their valuable services. If Negro
democrat who openly fought Mr.. Carl
son can be retained, if another erst-
while Democrat can receive messen-
eership over the protest of loyal Re-
ublicans, what need you expect from
YOUR voluntary service? If Negro SER
vice to the Republican party and to
the Governor deserves no more con
sideration than that, we advise you
Negroes to stay at home or go on the
Hill and earn your 81 day. The
Star has counted the full cost OF sacrl-
fee and opposition it will incur by
making this manly fight for the race.
IT keenly realizes that a RACE paper
must STAND BY the RACE first and
then partisans next, il at all. So you
NAV tell the world that the Star is
not looking for any plums but only
for a square deal, for which we Will
contend to the last ditch.

The Denver star. [volume] (Denver, Colo.) 1913-1963, 1916-10-21

If this campaign did not include the
election of the presidential electors
and our Republican congressman, the
Star would advocate out and out a
plan of protest which would be more
effective than our present plan. We
cannot afford to jeopardize the Repub-
lican national ticket nor the election
to Congress of Republican Congress
men. Every Negro who votes for Will
son ought to be examined for brain
troubles. What has the Republican
party done toward acquainting you
with the personnel of the State Assem-
bly,? How many Georgia, Texas, Mis-
souri, and eastern Democrats, who
have changed to the Republicans. are
now sailing under the colors of the
Republican party, with all their hatred
and race discrimination? How many?
Do you know how they stand on mat
tiers touching our race, full crew bill,
Jim Crow schools, ETC.. and union Ia
Dor and the like? Don't you think it
is about time to find out? Who can
vouch for any Of them? Because they
are on the Republican ticket, does that
rob them of their prejudices any more
than being on the Democratic, Social
istic ticket increases prejudice against
the Negroes? We Negroes must SOON
er or later face the real issue of max
ing friends regardless as to party.
Let us only elect men who will not
use their power against us when in
Office, regardless as to who they are,
where they come from or what re-
ligion they serve. If elected, will
they work against us and will they
use their influence SO that we can be
let alone, is the only question which
should be paramount in our minds.

To the Editor of the Denver Star:

AS l have been a subscriber and
well wisher of the Statesman, later
the Denver Star, for nearly Is years
continuously, think l have the right
to ask you certain vital questions per
tanning to the election of the Cover
nor of this state. You have declared
in public print that the Star will not
support Mr.. Carlson because OF the
wrongs he did our race. You have
advised us not to vote for him. What
better person than Mr.. Carlson, as
bad as you paint him, have you to
offer the Negro voters? Is 1t enough
to tear down without building up?
Since you are opposing Mr.. Carlson
so strongly, would it not be better
practical wisdom and politics for the
Star to advocate someone in his stead
as good or better than him? Permit
me to suggest to the colored voters,
a man who has lived in Colorado
nearly a quarter of a century, who
has been one of our eminent Supreme
Court jurists and against whom no
man has aught to say-that man Is
Hon. julius G. Gunther. l have known
him intimately and worked for him
eleven years and l can truthfully say
that l would not want to work for
better man. He has always given all
classes a square deal. Search his rec
ord as a Supreme Court Justice and
If you can find one place where he
has even limited at discrimination
against our people, condemn me with
your bitterest denunciation. AS citi-
zen of IS years in Denver. well known
to my fellows, l feel that would not
only do our friend, Mr.. Gunther, an
Injustice If failed to speak of this at
this time, but would show ingrati-
tude and cowardice. You have said
friend was friend, Democratic or
Republican. Unless you think all
Democrats are devils and hate you,
and all Republicans are angels and
love you, and if these things men
toned are true, why should you not
come out and support man who has
never made a promise to you he has
broken, never mistreated our race and
is willing to give US square deal. II
a man is a man, friend friend,
appeal to your broadness of spirit,
your inclination to make and win
friends, to support Mr.. Gunther for
Governor.

candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton. Then he forgot it. He even went
out Of town. nor did he return till the
primary elections were over and people
had ceased talking about them.
Lawyer Warren met Judge Hubert.
who said to him:
"'I think you've been nominated for

els II. Warren, 1878
1.-The Democratic candidate has at
least a platform. business administra-
ton and economy. He is no mere band
wagon follower. He has ideas, and
one of these is that every old resident
of Michigan should be relieved of that
nightmare of the common people, the
fear Of restitution in old age, by means
of pension. In fact, he has already
begun to give effect to such plan with
an fnitiatory petition for constitu-
tional amendment to pave the way.
Then he would relieve business and
labor Of taxation as much as possible
by gradually reducing the imposts on
the fruits of industry and making the
its just share of the burdens of govern
ment. The Third district includes the
First, Second. Third. Fourth and Sixth

Francis Il. Warren was born at Sar-
mia. Ont. in 1864. At the age OF four
his parents became residents of Sagi-
nav. Mich Young Warren attended
the public school at Saginaw until he
was fourteen, at which time he was
compelled to leave school in order to
assist his parents in earning living
for the family. His first experience In
business was gained at Mackinac H.
land, Mich. in 1887, where he estab-
lished barber shop, restaurant and 4
laundry.
In the early nineties Mr.. Warren be-
Iame involved In several lawsuits on
tile island. He did not get what ap-
pcared to him to be square deal in
the courts. After adjusting his legal
affairs as best he could Mr.. Warren be-
gan the study Of law in 1896, az he
says. for self protection. In 1900 he
entered the Detroit College Of Law.
from which he was graduated with the
degree of LII. B. In 1903 and was ad-
mitted to the Detroit bar and on March
8. 1912. to the United States supreme
court.
Attorney Warren has been identified
with economic reforms. such as public

WHY is CONGRESS SLOW?

why are our public servants the elected directors
of the corporation of the United States painfully
slow in accomplishment?
At the outset it should be noted that congress-
though organized do the business planning and to
provide and disburse income the nation, is not
made up of efficient business men. A glance at the
Congressional Directory will confirm this statement
Lawyers predominant, and delay is tradition of the
legal profession. There many socalled politicians
but few of these trained men of affairs. Their
training is mostly in glad hand work and in satisfy
ing constituents with jobs and documents and seeds
and letters The few men in congress who have sue
cessfully conducted large business in out
of practice and they, well their associates,
breathe and subject to the congressional atmo-
sphere OF dly- dalying of trading and compromise.
which is characteristic of Washington.
1t must also be recognized, despite the high
character of congressman that the next election
is always close and that simple unified and concrete
attention to the public business is hard give without
overlooking the home fences which need constantly to
be kept in repair.
Congress is slow, because the business it under
takes to do is not done by trained in that bust
ness; because the methods in not modern or
efficient because there is the present idea that
compromise is inevitable attribute of legislation;
because it is easier listen self interest than to
the public interest.
All this is so because it is accepted habit;
and we all guilty any congressman in con-
tnuing absurd, Anticipated frightfully expensive
and inefficient method of conducting the public
business. Horace Mcfarland in the Outlook.

The Army and Its Belly

The mobilization of small army the Mexi-
border. along with the national guard. was at
tended by incidents which emphasize elemental
unpreparedness. If had had to move,
the departments task of caring for them would
have been stupendous. and impossible few
days ago 1000 troops of the national guard arrived
at Tucson For twenty -four preceding hours the Red
Cross at Tucson, necessarily a small though active
organization, bombarded with kilograms from the
war department make arrangements to feed the
incoming troops Sunday.
A day or two later the Pennsylvania national
guard, several thousand strong, arrived at Kansas
City, having been twelve hours without food. Here
again, the department made appeal to the Red
Cross and the local authorities to that they
provided with food.
The need of sustenance for the troops seems for
the moment in the excitement of preparation for war,
to have not occurred to the department In the
old times it frequently the practice to quarter
soldiers upon the inhabitants but usually the inhabi
conquered provinces, but in modern warfare
governments adopt less precarous methods of caring
for their armies 1t Napoleon who observed 100
years ago that army marches on it's belly. Since
then our present government is the only which
