TAXING OUT THE NEGRO

While some newspapers IN the
south have bemoaned the threat
ened emigration of Negroes from
that section to the northern states,
there are others who view with
alarm the proposed immigration
of Negroes from the north to the
south. 1t appears that project
is on foot to colonize certain lands
in South Carolina with northern
Negro farmers. This brings from
so liberal journal as the Column
bia State the remark that as
South Cardinals population is al
ready IS per cent black, what is
desired is that it should become
preponderantly white.
After admitting the right of any
one to buy South Carolina land
and sell it to northern Negroes,
the State adds: Justice under the
law should be done to any lawful
undertaking, but that is no guar
anty that equity will be done by
the tax assessors of a county or a
township where the enterprise is
unanimously regarded as a nuis-
ance and public injury"
Thus, added to the disfranchise-
ment of the Negro, is the threat
of taxing him out of the state.

L0WDEN GOVERNOR:
SLOGAN OF VOTERS

outside the city of Chicago, are almost
universally endorsing him.
No fractional Control
II am not and will not be the candi-
date of any faction, and l will take no
part in any fractional contests" says
Col. Lowden, "either In Cook county
or in any other county. / will not be
q party to any slate ticket. AS a can
didate shall make no promises, either
express or implied, and shall have no
alliances, either direct or remote,
which will embarrass the free exer-
else Of my best judgment in discharg-
ing the duties of governor should l
be nominated and elected"
High Government Ideals.
Let the voters of Illinois ask them
selves IL a more direct or explicit
statement could be made in the cause
of good government? Every charge OF
factionalism is without basis, made not
with intent to state truth, but for
the sole purpose of misleading the vo-
tiers of the state in an effort to have
prejudice rather than fact direct the
casting of their votes.
Man of Broad Experience.
In Col. Lowden the Republicans OF
Illinois not only have an experienced
business man, lawyer of force and
wise counsel, one selected because of
his manifest qualification to fill the
chair of Federal Jurisprudence in
Northwestern Law School, but also
farmer, not in theory, but versed In
the practical problems of the farmer
and stock breeder.
Represents All Glasses.
Not only have the small merchants
of the country, cities and villages, the
toilers and workers Of the state, OPP
portunity in supporting Col. Lowden
to secure an active champion and one
who by reason of his residence in the
country understands the problems
which beset them as distinguished
from those of the big cities, but the
farmers of Illinois have opportunity OF
making governor man who knows
| the problems of the farmer, not as
| theory, but from 15 years OF active
work in the development of farming,
dairying and live stock breeding along
approved practical lines.
He Is Practical Man.
Farmers of this state who have
been privileged to hear Col. Low
den speak at gatherings where
the needs of agriculture and mod
ern farming have been considered,
attest the statement that he proves
himself a practical mana surprise to
those who are not intimately &C.
quainted with Col. Lowden's activi-
ties in agriculture AS one farmer
said, who heard him address meet
ing of farmers: HE talks our Ian
guage; he knows our business"
Where, we ask the voter in every
line of work. can you ind a man bet
ter equipped than Col. Lowden to
serve you? From every standpoint 1t
is clear he is the man to vote for and
to be the Republican nominee for
governor.
