was, "Shall We Make a Manly Fight

logical in thought and accurate in its
legal contention as to what constitutes

race.
The Rev. DR.. j. Z. Churchman Of
Orange. n. j.. who Is one Of the most
jealous and fearless champions Of
equal rights and opportunities for the

BILE speech Of the day. DR.. Church
mans subject was "Negro Manhood
According to Southern Analysis" He
recited In detail many cases Of wrongs
perpetrated upon the colored people by
the state and the national government
and branded segregation, mob law and
political treachery as the most barbar-
GUS Of twentieth century crimes.
DR.. Churchman labors in many fields
for racial development besides his busi-

He Is in demand on all occasions
where real service in defense Of the
race is needed and at times when only
men Of courage can render service

LEADING STATE
NORMAL COLLEGE
School at Nashville, Tenn, Has
Many Good Features.
MANNED BY ABLE FACULTY,

Brief Account Of Progress Made at an
Agricultural and Industrial Institu.
tion Under the Supervision of Pro-
fsssor William J. HaIe-Trains Young
Men and Women For Leadership.
Nashville, Tenn. - The Agricultural
and Industrial State Normal college in
this city for the training of young men
and women stands second to none in
the country. While it is young in
many respects, it has taken it's place
among the colleges Of the country un-
der the direction of one Of the foremost
educators Of the race in the person Of
Professor William J. Hale, who be-
lieves in doing things well and who is
doing great work here.
The school is not quite four years
old, but it is doing the work Of a col
lege many years its senior. 1t is hav-
ing successful career, because the
board Of education was fortunate in
securing the services of a man who
The Twin City star., 1916-04-29

Former Mayor H. P. Keller made
his campaign upon the theory that St.
Paul was business corporation.
1t takes business man to run a
business institution. St. Paul is a
business institution and v. r. Irwin
is business man.
Mr.. Handy is an excellent gentle
man and I supported him for six
years in his campaign fot the City
Council and for the office he row
holds-Comptroller; and if he was a
candidate for reelection to the office
of Comptroller I would still be with
him; but I believe that the Commits
sion form of government contem-
plates change from political" sys-
tenn of management to a business
system of management and that now
is an opportune time to inaugurate
the change.
1t is said that Mr.. Irwin does not
know anything about politics.-So
much the better, for it is admitted
that he is a successful business man,
and therefore he will use business and
not political" methods to run the
city.
No pertinent argument has been
raised against Mr.. Twins qualifica-
tons for the office of Mayor of ST..
Paul; and the only reasons given as
to why he should not be elected is,
first: that he has only lived in ST..
Paul five and half years and, sec
ond; that he is a wholesale grocery
man and if you had hardware store
you wouldn't hire a wholesale grocery
man to run it.
AS to the first objection. 1t seems
to me that if man can come into a
city and in five or six years time
build up a successful wholesale busi-
ness, emerge from the obscurity of
the unknown and put himself in the
limelight as an important factor in
commercial activity, that he is a
pretty good man to have at the head
of the City's affairs. Mr.. Irwin has
been in St. Paul long enough to be-
come a heavy investor in business
and, therefore, is directly interested
in its prosperity civicly, socially and
financially
AS to the other objection that he
is wholesale grocery man, and of
course wouldn't make a good whole
sale hardware man, or Cnferentially)
good Mayor. have only this to
say, that as we have no ready-made
Mayors who are anxious for the job,
and we must break in some one who
never was on the job before, it
wouldn't be bad idea to try a man
who had been successful in big busi-
ness.
Both Mr.. Handy and Mr.. Irwin
have an unqualified right to place
themselves before the voters as can
didates for the high position of Mayor
of St. Paul, and no man should be
criticized for supporting either Of
them.
Having cited the only objections
offered against Mr.. Irwin it might be
we'll to name a few of his qualifica-
tions for the office.
He is above the age of maturity,
very intelligent and level headed.
He is a student of political econ
omy and we'll versed in civil govern
ment.
He has lived in St. Paul long
enough to be we'll acquainted with its
needs and its opportunities.
He is a successful business man

knew school work and knew well how
to direct such an institution along all
lines. The school has a good, strong
faculty, which works in harmony with
Professor Hale. The teachers are en-.
ergetic and make each minute count.
Professor Hale has the confidence of
the best people Of both races in the
work of the school. There has been
much stress put on domestic science
the past year, giving this department
high rank in efficiency. At the head
of this department is an expert who
has had the benefit Of practical train
ing as well as Of theory in the best
institutions of the country.
Special attention is paid to agricul-
ture, and the school farm is said to
be one Of the best in the country. The
young men are taking to farming, and
may 1t be said that there are some Of
the young women who are making q
specially Of agriculture 80 as to be Of
special assistance to their community.
As to Professor Hale, It has been
said many times by numerous compe-
tent judges that the state board Of ed
ucation was extremely fortunate In Sc
curing tho services Of man such as
he has proved to be. He is known by
probably more people Of his race en-
gagged In the teaching profession than
any other in Tennessee and personally
liked and admired by them all. He
has been able to interest almost every
schoOlteacher, minister and leader Of
the Negro race In the state school
This interest has never waned, and to-
day 1t Is positively fact that more
Negroes throughout the state are d.
rectly in touch with the A. and /. nor
NAL and are possessed more with the
idea that 1t is "their" school than any
other Of the large number Of educa-
tional institutions for colored people in
Tennessee.
Professor Hale came up from the
ranks, having been a teacher for many
years. He has been district school
teacher and high school principal. He
has been institute instructor for coun-
ty and state. He possesses unusual
executive ability, has knack Of get
ting things done, and this is what has
made for him success.
As an evidence Of what is here stat
ed the following words of the late DR..
Booker T. Washington, the greatest of
all Industrial educators, Is given. He
said, "There is no parallel case to the
great progress of such q school as has
been accomplished by President Hale
In 80 short time"

dent Hale with the colored teachers

MAJOR w. c. HANDY,
Candidate for Mayor.

Being a member of the campaign
committee of Maj. w. C. Handy, can
didate for Mayor of the City of ST.
Paul, feel it my duty to present a
few facts to the voters relative to his
record as a citizen and office-holder.
He has been during past four years
City Comptroller of St. Paul, and has
had charge of the tax budgets, and
recommended the apportionment of
the city finances.
He served in the City Assembly
and State Legislature and assisted in
framing many laws of vital interest
to this city and state. There has
never been any just criticism for lack
of efficiency in any office he has held
He is in every way competent to
administer the affairs of this city
from taxpayers viewpoint.
St. Paul is now going through a
critical stage in adjusting itself to its
new charter and we cannot afford
to experiment on the election of any
candidate to the responsible position
of Mayor, even though he possesses
every virtue of good citizenship, who
is lacking in that vital necessity
Practical Experience in City Govern
ment.
His opponent, Mr.. Irwin is entirely
unfit for the position of Mayor of
st. Paul; because he has only been a
citizen of that city six years, and his
experiences have been limited to
mercantile business. St. Paul has
paid dearly for experiments in the
past, by electing as mayors such
business men as the late Col. Wright
and Capt. Dorne.
Maj. Handy as associate editor of
the Pioneer Press thoroughly famil-
iarized himself with the civic condi-
tions of St. Paul While on the edit
orial staff of the old Pioneer Press,
he always showed deep and friendly
interest in the Negroes of this city
and country. I can say, from per-
sonal acsuaintance of past IS years,
that he has taken an advanced stand
to place the Negro before the public
in his real position. Several years
ago, Hon. w. T. Francis was nom-
mated for the Assembly of this city
and the large vote he received was
due mainly to the friendly attitude of
the editorials and news of the Pioneer
Press for which Maj. Handy was
largely responsible.
Under these circumstances, I
strongly and conscientiously believe,
that Maj. Handy is the logical can
didate for Mayor; and that his ad-
ministration would be productive of
the best results for the Negroes of
our city. Therefore, I appeal to them
as voters, to use their ballot to make
a good showing for his election on
May 2, 1916.
