The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1916-11-04
SIX REASONS WHY.

1. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
is the Republican candidate for
President of the United States, and
history has demonstrated that the
Republican party is the only party
fit to govern this country.
2. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
has demonstrated his executive ca
pacity. He administered the govern
ment of the great state of New York
with business ability and introduced
many reforms.
3. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
is a sincere man. He says what he
means and means what he says. He
does not veer from point to point
like, weathercock and change his
opinions over night.
4. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
would make the world respect the
United States. He has declared that
every right with regard to American
life and property and commerce
should be upheld.
5. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
is a friend of labor. This is shown
by his record. Labor's opinion is
based on what he has done.
6. CHARLES. EVANS HUGHES
stands for equality before the law.
His public statement II stand ever
against unjust discrimination against
any man on account of his color, on
account of his race or on account of
anything" stamps him as a true
American.
If you are a true American and
believe in genuine democracy you
should vote for CHARLES EVANS
HUGHES for President of the United
States.

THE CITIZENSHIP CONGRESS.

That was band of American
patriots which met in Washington and
after due deliberation formulated
stirring address to the country, listing
their wrongs, offering evidences of
their progress, recounting their deeds
of loyalty in defense of the Nation,
and pledging themselves before the
Eternal God to combat with all the
power within them, the denial of civil
and political rights. ..-.
It was the greatest event in recent
years, in that the men and women who
met had correct conception of what
it means or should mean to be Ameri-
can citizens. In this world, groups as
well as individuals are taken at their
own valuation of themselves. These
people did not feel that they were
negroes" in the average American
conception of the word or African
savages or aliens. They knew that
they were all American born and as
Americans entitled to all the rights
and immunities of American citizen
ship.
There is no trucking or cringing in
their statement to the people of the
Republic. 1t: is a clean cut demand
for justice and equality of rights,
nothing more, nothing less. The
greatest emphasis was laid on resist
ance against the policy. of separation
from fellow Americans of other groups
in public or semi-public places,
whether for education or recreation
or on common carriers, or residential
segregation.
That is the crux of the whole mat
ter. Unless there is absolute and
identical equality of treatment in all
things and unrestricted admission of
colored people to every public or semi
public place open to other Americans,
they are subject to a slavery more
CALLING to intelligent beings than mere
bodily bondage and democracy itself
is lie.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1916-11-04
THE, RIGHT MAN.

Mr.. c. F. McNally is a candidate for
the district bench of St. Paul. He is
a popular young man, born and reared
in Boston, Mass. He seeks the judge
ship on his record. It needs only to
be told the negro voters, and many
of those of his race, that he is en-
dorsed by Ex-Congressman James
Manahan, the man who at all times
will take off his coat to fight for the
rights of all prosecuted people. To
say that he is from Boston assures
our people that he, by heredity and
environment, absorbed the principles
of that grand old commonwealth,
which give all people Equality be-
fore the Law" He deserves the vote
and influence of every Negro.-Twin
City Star.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1916-11-04
HUGHES STRONG POINT.

Mr.. Hughes in his speech to q
colored audience stated that he stood
for equal and exact justice for all
citizens regardless of color, and he
said further:
IL am sure you do not wish par.
ticu|ar things done because 81 color
That was a strong point, 50 it seems
queer that some of the jim-crow
colored papers were careful to elimi-
nate it. Cutting out a strong point
like that shows the working Of the
jim-crow mind.
The American thinking, intelligent,
level-headed colored people certainly
do not want any particular thing, no
matter how alluring, because of color:
If they are treated exactly as other
Americans are treated they'll be sat
1sied. They are not asking different
treatment or especial favors because
of color.

Knowing no god, disdainful of man,

His abode a rock-hewn cave; his mate

Warily watched winged monsters OF

The Judge of probate is now the

Judge Of probate at two years. The

sofa, and it is necessary to pass this
amendment in order to make the term
of this Office the same as the other
county officers. The passage of this
amendment will save expense to the
taxpayers Of the county. What sense
is there in electing one officer in the
county every two years when the 9TH
ers are elected for term of four
years? All the voters who believe in
direct legislation by the people should
vote upon this amendment. Those
who do not vote on tho amendment

WILSON NOT our FRIEND.

{. g I = 5s.
. The Wisest man can not assign a
single reason for surprising that vii
sons reelection would effect any good
whatever for the colored people, for it
can not be shown that he has done a
single thing to demonstrate his friend
illness to the race.
Not only has he failed to do anything
for the colored people, but he has done
many things against them, in spite of
his prediction promises of fair treat
ment.
He has been greatly interested in
liberty and self-government in the
Philippines, but he has no rebuke for
Hoax Smith of Georgia, Tillman of
South Carolina and Vardaman OF
Mississippi who have done everything
in their power to restrict the liberties
Of the colored people of their re.
spective states.
He is greatly interested in the vel
fare of the immigrants who have come
to our shores to escape the tyrannies
of Europe, but he is callous and III
different to the wrongs inflicted upon
the colored people of the South.
If by any single incident, sugges-
ton or saying he has shown any con.
Germ about the welfare of colored
American citizens, the history of his
Administration has failed to record
the fact.
On the contrary he has done many
things which were inimical. He
permitted the segregation of colored
civil service employees ot~the govern
ment by subordinate officials, and
when the colored people protested
through that intrepid leader William
Monroe Trotter, against such un-
American treatment, he defended the
principle of segregation and unable to
make further reply to Mr.. Trotter's
rebuttal, declared that that gentleman
had "insulted" him.
E Colored people have more to fear
than any other class from the evils
the reelection of President Wilson
would produce. He has condoned
segregation and has deprived the race
of it's just representation in high Off
cial positions. AS Mr.. Hughes truly
said, he has undone in three years the
work of fifty years of Republicanism.
There is nothing in Wilson's policy
for the colored man, nor does he pre-
tend there is.

of Republicans and now comes before
the people and asks for their support.
The only office he has held was that
of Clerk of the Supreme Court for
which he was eminently fitted as
he is first-class lawyer. He is fair,
square and true blue, knows no man
by race, color or creed and will make
a splendid Congressman. He solicits
and deserves your support on Novem-

Mrs. S. D. Heapy
Has Passed Away

Mrs. S. d. Heapy, well known and
well beloved by many Maui residents,
passed away suddenly at the Queens
hospital in Honolulu last Wednesday
afternoon. Mrs. Heapy came to Maui
about twenty years ago with her son
Stafford, her father, ]. A. Moore, at
one time principal of the Union
School, and her sister. She lived here
a number of years and until after the
death of her father, when she remov-
ed to Honolulu.
For many years she was the matron
of the Kailani Home for girls in Ho-
nolulu, but recently she has been
teaching at Mana, Kauai, where she
was taken ill and afterwards taken to
Honolulu for treatment. News of her
death came as surprise to her Maui
friends, for she was always apparently
in robust health, in spite of her adv
anced age, who was between sixty-hve
and seventy years.
A wireless was received this morn
ing by Rev. Dodge from her son, thar
Iuku cemetery on Sunday Afternoon at
the body would be inferred in the wal
ku cemetery on Sunday afternoon at
8 o'clock, as it was her wish that she
be buried beside her father and sister,
who both have last resting places IN
the Wailuku burial grounds.

Republican Rally
Is Well Attended
KuhiO, BreckOns And Smith Make
Characteristic Party Talks To At
tentive Wai!uku Crowd = Ray
mond's Defeat Urged By Speakers

While there were no great outbursts
of enthusiasm, even when Prince Ku-
hio was speaking, the attendance at
the Republican rally held in the Val
ley Isle theatre last Tuesday night
was large, and an attentive interest
in the words of the speakers was
shown. Prince Kuhio, W. o. Smith
and r. w. Breckons were the speak
ers. On the platform during the meet
ing were all of the Maui candidates
They were the candidates for election
as senator Harry Baldwin and George
Cooke, and the representative candi-
dates, Waiohole, Brown, Joseph,
Walsh, Paschoal and Tavares.
A touch of oratory was added to the
meeting by the Introductory remarks
of W. r. Crockett, who acted as chair
man. Charles Wilcox was Hawaiian
interpreter for the English speakers.
None of the local candidates made
talks, altough it was announced that
they would address Wailuku meeting
before the campaign was over.
Smith was the first speaker and he
devoted himself to advising that the
islands continue to elect members of
the party which has always stood for
high protective tariff for sugar
upon which, he said, the industrial
life of Hawaii depended. He made it
a point, he said, of wanting protect
tion carried to such an extent that
even the small industries would be
given protection, so they could be dew
eloped. Smith declared it wrong to
believe the sugar tariff was only for
the good of the sugar plantation men.

affirmed.
Attorney Breckons awoke interest
by telling the crowd story or two and
by cutting apologies regarding the De-
mocratic party and it's policies.

battle cry, which he called text. He
admitted that he had taken the text
