WHERE THE KAISER ERREp
ATLANTA ConstitutionD


Nov is your chance to settle your
Negro problem suggested the Kaiser.
half facetiously, to DR.. Davis, soon af-
ter the United States entered the war.
IF America insists upon coming in
to the war; he went on, why doesn't
she send her Negroes across and let
us shoot them DOWN."
While not being influenced by Will
helms suggestion, we have sent our
Negroes "across'-some thousands of
them, at any rate-but to date mighty
few of them have been shot down by
William and his Huns.
Our Negroes needed no urging to go.
What is more, they seemed to dread
not in the least the boasted fate that
was in store for them. Since they
have been over there they have not
shrunk from their duty, and while
their duty has taken them into some
of the very places where the Huns
were the thickest, surprisingly few of
tACnl nave UC6u SnOL GOWN.
Probably the most plausible explana-
tion of this lies in the fact that Hun
cannot shoot well while running! Es-
pecially while running from the target!
In other words, in every engagement
the Negro troops have had with the
Kaiser's outlaws the latter have been
put to rout! Our Negro troops have
to date not given one foot of ground.
Just the other day Negro troops
drove the Germans helter-skelter out
OF French village, and rescued sever
al French civilians who were being
held prisoner there. And the rescued
Frenchmen declared that the Germans
were thoroughly surprised to find
themselves confronted by colored Am
ericans-of whom they stand in dread
by reason of an idea they have that
"the American Negroes cut off the
ears of their prisoners"
Soon after they got into the fight
ing group of cornered Huns treach-
erously yelled "kamerad!" and when
taken prisoners opened fire upon the
unsuspecting captors; and now, it is
said, the Negroes fight all the more
fiercely in their determination to
avenge that piece of cowardly German
deceit! And who will blame them?
Anyhow, as upon numerous other
occasions, when the Hun kaiser BELT.
tied our Negro troops to Dr. Davis,
and laughingly boasted about how his
barbarous minions would shoot them
down. it is plainly to be seen now
that he reckoned without his host.

AMERICAS PROMISE

"The American people are gladly
willing to make sacrifice in consump-
tion and production of foodstuffs that
will maintain the health, comfort and
courage of the people of the allied
countries. We are, in fact, eating at
a common table with them"
The above message from President
Wilson was delivered by the U. S.
Food Administration to the Allied Food
Controllers Conference in London in
July.
America, during the last twelve
months has exported 1O,O0O.OOO tons of
foodstuffs. If it should become neces-
sary she can increase this amount to
100000 tons during the next twelve
months. This would mean million
and one-half tons a month.
To accomplish this will mean care
full economy and no waste. 1t will
mean intensive planting and increased
harvesting.
America cannot a moment forget
that if she is to share the victory she
must ship her food

on now for more than a year and a
half. We have watched it. We have
read anxiously week by week the num-
Der Of ships that have gone down. But
the average American has failed to
see civilization bleeding to death as
each great ship went to the bottom
He has not seen the thread of ship<
that reaches from our Atlantic ports
to England and France and Italy get
ting continually thinner and thinner.
He has not realized that the life of
this nation hangs on that thread of
ships, say DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur
Americas record in getting more
than a million and a half men across
seas is the marvel of all Europe So
wonderfully conveyed are our trans
ports that German submarines have
been unable to get them. Her present
aim, therefore, is to sink the ships

CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED
Continued from page u

as a candidate untainted by pacifism
and one who has proved his patriot
ism and efficiency by his work in
France.
The platform as adopted is as fol-
lows:
PLATFORM OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY OF ARIZONA, 1918
The Republican party council duly
assembled at the capitol in Phoenix on
the first day of October, 1918, hereby
adopts the following program:
The Republican party of the State
Of Arizona declares that the employ
ment OF the entire man power. and of
all the physical financial and indus
trial resources of the nation in the
prosecution of the war to a complete
victory, transcends all other questions
before the State and the Nation We
declare that it is the supreme task OF
the civilized world TO crush the Ger
man military autocracy until it has
ceased to be a menace. We demand
a victory so complete and conclusive
that it will insure civilization against
another war for Teutonc domination
Phoenix tribune., 1918-10-05

cater to those who are attempting to
impede the efficiency of the nation in
its present struggle.
We contend that Hon. Thomas E.
Campbell was duly elected Governor
of Arizona in 1916 by the voters of
the state. We are convinced that the
decision of the court, by which he
was deprived of his office and the
compensation for his services, was
purely a political one and not in ac-
cord with the facts in the case We
are satisfied that the great majority
of the people of Arizona are convinced
that he was legally elected to that
office and that, in a sense of fair play.
they will re-elect him by an over
whelming majority
By the reelection of Governor
Campbell "a government that shall be
marked by efficiency and economy. by
broad and impartial consideration
that shall be given to the claims of
every interest and of every section
and, above all, to the loyalty of the
National Government the times so i'm
peratively demand, will be assured to
the people of the state.
We urge in this connection the i'm
portance of the election of our entire
state ticket and of legislature that
will be in accord with the state ad-
ministration in it's effort to promote
the ends of good government.
We present as our candidate for our
representative in congress one whose
Americanism is untainted by pacifism:
one who has never doubted the right
eousness of American participation in
the war; one who proves his faith by
his works, and who is fighting in
France impelled wholly by sense of
duty and love of country.
Thomas Maddox is splendidly quail
flied by character. energy and ability
to represent our great state in the
House of Representative in times of
peace. The experience he has gained
as one of our gallant and victorious
American Army especially fits him to
render services of high order at this
time both to the state and to the ma
tion. We commend him to the pa,
triotic people of the state in the full
est confidence that his candidacy will
meet with their approval and be fol.
lowed by his election.

carrying supplies. Our food is vital
to Allied success as our men are.
"Our only answer to this must be
more food to send. .fhere must be
food on the docks to push across as
fast as losses occur. There must be
a solid lane of ships from our shores
to those of the Allies. That must be
our answer to the German submarine.
To keep this lane of ships, there must
be no DETECTION to Java or the Argen-
tine only that we may have more
sugar than we really need for health
or nutrition. There must be no long
hauls merely to provide luxury. Wd
can do with less sugar and make up
the deficit with other food if it will
mean more ships to take across sup,
plies. men and guns in order to put
an end forever to such fiendish work
as Germany's submarine war"
Phoenix tribune., 1918-10-05

We accord to the brave men of our
country who have already laid down
their lives for the cause of liberty. to
those who are fighting for us overseas.
and to those who are about to go, the
honor and gratitude they so richly
deserve, and we hail with pride the
splendid victories already achieved by
American arms.
We are proud of those leaders and
members of the Republican party in
Congress who have given such splen.
did support to the present administra.
tion and have rendered such effective
aid nthe enactment of the great war
measures We deplore the disposition
wherever manifest to make the war a
partisan affair an dto capitalize po
litically war activities. We insist that
the business Of war upon which the
country is now engaged is the business
of all the people of this land irres
pective of political affiliations.
We condemn the l. w w whose OBJ
ject it is to embarrass the nation in
the prosecution of the war We main
tain that there is no place in the
country today for those disIoyal in act
teachings or thought. We abhor the
tendency among some officials of the
