Mr.. Fairbanks did more to commit the
Republican party in Indiana to the gold
standard in 1896 than any other man,
and that he wrote the money plank in
the national platform adopted at the
st. Louis convention, over which he
presided as temporary chairman. When
William Mckinley was nominated for
the presidency Mr.. Fairbanks toured
the country in his interests.
In January, 1897, Mr.. Fairbanks was
elected to the United States senate.
He resigned from the senate March
4, 1905, having been elected viee-prss,
dent on the Republican ticket with
Theodore Roosevelt.
While he was vice-president, Mr.. Fair

''George Edmund Foss-"
It must be said to the undying credit
of Congressman Foss, that he has always
been friendly disposed toward respectable
and worthy COlOred. As an evidence Of that
fact, for many years he has employed q
bright and intelligent COlored man as
his private secretary and there is no
logical reason on earth why at least one
third Of the Colored voters throughout
this state should not feel themselves
highly honored to be permitted to have
the right and the pleasure Of marching
under his senatorial banner.

But the real fireworks began when the
four candidates for representative in the
Legislature, got up to present each, his
own claims.
A great many people had thought II
would have put these gentlemen in an
embarrassing position to sing such
praises ~ each knew himself to deserve.
But the only one who appeared TO balk
At the hurdles was Morris Lewis. Chair
man DePnest had given out the informa-
ton that the order in which the speeches
were TO be made, would be arranged
alphabetically. This gave Warren

Warren Douglas has all Of the arts

Of great carrying quality. Without too
much lack Of modesty, he spoke rather
wen Of himself, and perhaps truthfuIly,
for he was one Of the spell binders in
the campaign for Oscar DePriest and it
was out Of the heat Of the campaign that
the Peoples Movement was born; and
It was In the clash Of the forces and
necessities Of the situation that Warren
Douglas discovered himself. And then
he mas some advantages in the fact that
he has the name ssDouglasn and there
is some physical resemblance to the sage
Of Anicostia, the immortal Frederick.
Douglas does not say 50, but no one ever

Wednesday evening the famous
Women's Amateur Ainstrels held forth
at the Chicago Theater, their show was
for the benefit Of Provident Hospital
and It was q grand success from begin
ming to end. It win be impossible to
tell just how much money was cleared
for that worthy institution until later
on.
No other newspaper in this city out
side of The Broad Az gave the Women 3
Amateur Minstrels one line of publicity
and as their show was given for "sweet
Charity" we cut our advertising rate
half in two for the dear, ever-smiling
ladies and this paper filed the Chicago
Theater for them from pit to dome.
The whole show was powerfully fine
from start to finish and the Amateur
Minstrel men have not one thing on the
Amateur Minstrel ladies.
The cream Of the Four Hundred lead
ers Of Colored society in this city, in
GLIDING Editor and Mrs. Taylor, were
out in full force and the ladies looked

while the world currents were nos
caught up by any other than this man,
who claimed to have been the head and

evolved many plans for the betterment
Of conditions in the state. He declared
q platform that would do credit 10 q

Attorney J. N. Simms by reason Of his
location in the alphabet closed the ar
gument and made q neat dignihed
speech. Il did not deal too harshly with
any one subject, and meddled very little
with politics or religion. They gave him
q good sound send of Of hand claps.
Then by some process of reasoning Mr..

voted his speech to the history of his

the proposed new constitution. He Of

other ships to accomplish the result.
While Mr.. Turner received quite an
ovation, there was q distinct holding
back, because they say that Mr.. Turner
tore some of his underwear sitting
astride the political fence in the early
days Of the DePriest campaign, and
only got down on the right side when
the movement grew to what looked like
formidable proportions 'sUnder the
