years has m-Crowed you, lynched
you and burned ycu at the stake.

The South is in the saddle at Wash

from whom you can expect nothing in
the future.

Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitu-
tion of the United States, which gives
you the right to vote. Vote for
Dickey.
Lest we forget, remember yet":
President Wilson fooled thousands of
people into voting forS8im four years
ago, by false promises, but he can't
fool anybody this time. He has de-
ceived everybody and pleased nobody,
by his hypocritical pretenses.
Lest we forget, remember yet':

of the Negro race in the United States
Senate, and ought to be defeated, by
electing Walter S. Dickey to fill his
place Mr. Dickey will be a credit to
the state of Missouri in the United
States Senate and will not assault the
rights of any group of citizens of the
state, but will represent every citizen
of Missouri, honorably and creditably.

ago to assassinate it and continue thu
6amnable institution of slavery,
