MAYOR WALLACE G. NYE.

The City of Minneapolis, with its
$4,000 inhabitants has been honored
in the past 3H years by having for
the chief executor the honorable
Wallace G. Nye. To govern a city of
this size is no small matter; to please
every one is beyond human possibil-
tiles, no matter how fairly and adroit-
ly he may have managed the affairs
of the city we expect some dissatis-
faction. However; l believe the
MAJORITY of the fair and liberal
minded public will agree, that we
have, during Mayor Nye's tenure of
office; enjoyed sane and fair man
agement of municipal affairs. He has
been the peoples Mayor in words,
deeds, and actions. The most insig-
nificent citizen, irrespective of ma
tionality or political affiliation, can al
ways secure an audience with Mayor
Nye, and be assured just and af-
affable treatment. Mayor Nye took
the most drastic stand against the
showing the film "The Birth of a
Nation" his condemnations of this
picture was greater than any mayor

ing Office at Washington for a number
OF years. He Is writer Of no mean
ability. His style is forceful. direct
and pleasing. He has written special
articles for some of the leading papers
in the west and was for long period
contributor to Puck.
His election as delegate at large is
compliment to the Republicans Of both
races in Kentucky no less than to the
distinguished recipient of their suf-
frage, whose sterling worth, rugged in.
tegrity, unfinching loyalty and patriot
ic devotion to the interests of his race
command the admiration Of white men
and the gratitude of black men. who
are always glad Of an opportunity to
by his fellow citizens.
The forthcoming national Republican
convention will have fewer Negro dele
gates this year than any previous ma
tional convention, and it is extremely
fortunate that the states sending Ne
gro delegates are selecting men of the
mental caliber and political experience
Of Phil H. Brown. The Lily Whites
Of the south and the milksop Repub-
icans of the north have succeeded in
reducing the representation from the
south, where the bulk of the Repub-
lican party, which is largely black and
loyal. has its habitat.
In plain. unadulterated. imprinted
Saxon the reason is that the so called
white Republicans Of the south, calling
themselves Lily White Republicans.
have for years been obsessed with the
fear that the great black majorities in
these southern states, If permitted to
have their votes counted as cast.
would again come into power in the
south and the occupation of the white
political adventurer. like Othellos.
would be gone.
Of nature the Lily White Republican
came into existence in obedience to its
demand, and has passed the word from
the farthest south to the farthest
north to delimit the political progress
Of the Negro in the south. where his
numbers are dangerous when array
ed against the political ambition of
white men who have lost the power
to hypnotic his race.
hope some one Of the Negro dele
gates to the Chicago convention In
June will challenge the right Of the
national committee to reduce the rep
resentation from the south. The rea-
sons advanced by 1t are not the true
reasons, and we know it. There is an
element Of unfairness and injustice in
the suppression Of the voice and the
votes Of hundreds of thousands of
voters In the black belts Of the south
who. because they are Negroes, have
been disfranchised by states having no
legal right to do so.
The United States created the states

| ION TO BALTIMORE"
From the Department of the Pres.
National Association of Colored
Women's Clubs.
Easily, the greatest forward race
movement of the age is the National
Association of Colored Women's
Clubs, and the leading spirit among
them the President; Mrs. Booker T.
Washington. Emerging from the
gloom which has recently enveloped
her, she has apparently re-consecra-
ted her life to the uplift of the race,
and by her helpful messages of encour-
agement to club leaders all all over
the country is inspiring officers, de-
partment heads and members to a
greater activity than ever before been
evinced in the work.
The next Biennial will be held at
Baltimore, Nd, in August. Mrs.
Washington presiding.
This meeting bids fair to be the
most interesting in the history of the
Association. The meeting in 1912 at
Hampton was intensely interesting
and inspiring; that at Wilberforce in
1914 was wonderful and far reaching
in its effects - wonderful group of
women, showing a remarkable insight
in the philosophy of life and demon
strating a constructive ability which
portends wonderful results in the next
few years.
"On to Baltimore" is the slogan of
every race organization of women,
and where the women are the men
will likewise be found.
BY courtesy of the editor ! shall
from time to time issue information
through the columns of this paper,
relative to the great Biennial at Bal
timore in August.

in the U. S. until the public clamored
for it, and then in fairness to all he
permitted a board composed of 100
citizens to censor the picture; out of
100 citizens 81 voted for the picture
to be shown, although previously un-
favorably censored by Mayor Nye and
which proved a financial fiasco to
the local promoters. The picture,
though absurd and untrue, caused us
to experience no i'll effect for its
having been shown.
We should not want special favors
at the expense of others; all we
should desire is just what Mayor Nye
has attempted to accord us-impar-
tial treatment, and an enjoyment of
our civil and human righs.
AS was said of the immortal Lin
coin, Mayor Nye "Wears honor with
out pride, and wields power without
oppression"
A vote for Mayor Nye means a
vote for a continuance of living in a
conservative, we'll governed and pros

| Governor.
James A. Peterson of Minneapolis
is a candidate for the Republican
Nomination for Lieut. Governor. He
is native of Wisconsin and a law
yer of recognized ability. He has
practiced law in Minneapolis nearly 80
years. Mr.. Peterson has always
shown his friendship for the Negro
race. He has not objected to them
residing in respectable localities if
they are respectable.
He does not believe in segrega-
ton or racial discrimination, and is an
advocate for Equal rights for all"
Atty. Peterson was one of the can
didates for Governor in 1914. He did
not get the nomination, but supported
Hon. w. f. Lee, the nominee of the
Republican party. He recently with
drew from the field of candidates for
Governor, and sought the position of
position, requiring executive ability
and integrity. Ex. Gov. Eberhart and
our present Gov. Burnquist, were
called to the executive chair to fill
unexpired terms, and it is important
that the people of Minnesota elect
as Lieut.. Governor a man, able TO
fill the highest office.
Hon. James A. Peterson is the
logical candidate for the position he
seeks. He knows the resources.
needs, and opportunities of Mime
sofa and as presiding officer of the
Senate; he would maintain, that har-
monious organization necessary for
the advancement of Minnesota's in
terests, regardless of party lines,
mindful of the progress of our great
State and his duty as a citizen.

SIX GOOD REASONS
Why You Should Join The National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.

i. 1t teaches that race prejudice is
the most evil thing in the world to-
day and that "Jim Crow" cars, race
segregation, anti-intermarriage
laws and all other manifestations
of it are unchristian and cruel ef-
forts of the stronger to oppress
the weaker.
2. It combats in the courts, state
legislatures, the Halls of Congress,
the government departments and
everywhere the spirit of persecu-
tion against the Colored People
which grows out of race prejudice.
5. It aims to bring about such a
healthy public sentiment in this
land that Colored People will be
accorded all their social, civil and
political rights and will receive
exact justice in all the relations of
life.
1. 1t believes in and teaches the doc
trine Of the Fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, and the
equality of all races in Our Amer
lean civilization.
s. It aims to uphold the honor of
our women by opposing the pas
sage of anti-race inter-marriage
laws
s. It Is composed of members Of both
races and sexes on terms of COM
p1ete equality and as brothers and
sisters in this holy cause of free
dom.
