men viii win, and we viii have no Rep
resentative in the Legislature. Mr.
Turner is the only eolOred candidate
who can win.
Rumor.-It is rumored and under
stood in political circles that the Other
eOlored candidates are running for nc
other purpose than to divide the col
ored vote, and make it possible to elect
two white men.
Sheadriek B. Turner has been q mem
Der Of the Legislature twice. In the
last Legislature he was a member Of
the important Judiciary Committee
which passes on all bills affecting OF
changing the Laws of this State. He

The Legislative Voters League does

does not like you. Mr.. Turner does not
believe the Legislative Voters League
is friendly to eolored people, and viii
not vote as they dictate. He refuses
to sign their pledges, and they do not
know how he will vote when he goes in.
Hence their opposition to him. They
wanted Mr.. Turner to vote for House
Bin No. 20, which sought to make it
unlawful in Illinois for white and cod
ored people to live in the same house.
Sheadriek B. Turner is one Of the
most widely known and best liked col
.ored men in Illinois, and his influence
and the respect in which he is held
are great accordingly. He is able to
accomplish things for his people and for
the general welfare, and we need him
in the Legislature.

Mr.. Turner introduced nine bills in

them in order to receive votes enough

terest Of the denouement he was called
down by no less a parsonage than Sen
ator Warren g. Harding. who will be
the next President. Of the United
States. The rebuke is a gem of direct
logic and knocks Frankie d. from the
lofty pedestal of his personal estimate
Of his accomplishment and dorps him
into the mire Of public contempt.
In his speech at Marion on the
League Of Nations, Senator Harding
paid his respects TO what frankie D.
is 80 proud Of in this wise:

tive. make the admission. What is
more, I might continue to do 50 al
most indefinitely without disadvantage
to our cause. So many things have
been done by the present expiring ad-
ministration' that no power on earth
could induce me to do, that I cannot
attempt to recount them. 1 may re-
mark casually, however, that if should
be, as expect to be, elected President
Of this Just and honorable Republic,
win not empower an assistant secretary
of the navy to draft constitution for
helpless neighbors in the West Indies
and jam it down their throats at the
point Of bayonets borne by the United
States marines. We have & higher
service for our gallant marines than
that. Nor will misuse the power Of
the executive to cover with a veil Of
secrecy repeated acts of unwaranted
interference in the demostie affairs of
the little republics of the Western
Hemisphere, such as in the past few
years have not only made enemies of
those who should have been our friends,
but have rightly diseredited our country
as their trusted neighbor."
Democrats Responsible.
The exploitation of the eolored Re-
public Of Haiti under the Wilson ad-
ministration, enforced by marines d.
reeted by Franklin d. Roosevelt, De-
moeratie candidate for yiee-President,
is blot upon civilization only equalled
in recent years by the Germanie op-
preston Of the Belgians. Natives to
the number of 5000 have been shot
down because they opposed the Oeeupa-
ton Of the Americans of their country
and the supervision and expenditure
Of their customs receipts by the Will
son administration.
Magazines have been fun Of the
activities Of Franklin D. Roosevelt's
work in Haiti. Condemnation by low
ers Of justice has been unreseryed. Self
determination has been thrown to the
discard, still miserable parody upon q
great name is proud Of it, and boasts
that his peculiar style Of constitution
saves the League Of Nations.

without diseounting the miserable
6aseo Of Candidate Cox and his Saneho
Panza Moore in their combined at
tempt TO show that the Republican
party had collected exorbitant sums
for the conduct Of the campaign, the
sensation Of the week is the rebuke
dealt out in a digniRed way to frankie
d. Roosevelt and the Wilson admins
tration by Senator Harding himself.
Grasping at any straw that would
afford a semblanee Of keeping afoat
the diseredited covenant Of the League
Of Nations, Frankie Democratic Roose-
welt, in a 1T Of verbal pyrotechnies,
admitted that he had written the rep
rehensible constitution Of the Negro
Republic Of Haiti; that he had so
juggied the verbiage as to leave the
United States with a sort Of pro-
teetorate that destroyed the yaunted
"self-determinatiOn" Of peoples, and
had forced it down the threats Of the
natives Of that country in broken
doses, as it were.
Hoped for Endorsement.
frankie D., possibly without con-
sulting or considering the American
sentiment Of justice, went out to the
people Of the great West and declared
that there should be no loss Of sleep
about the fact that England had six
votes to Americas one, because he,
Frankie D., had applied the truest
Democratic ethics and stolen from the
Negroes of Haiti their rights under the
League of Nations, if it should be
adopted. Strange to say this singular
anomaly Of a statesman was proud of
his achievement, - and Dragged
about it. He ran rampant up and
down the hastings prOelaiming that he
had saved the covenant by rObbing the
Negroes.
That there never was q more retro
active assumption in politics everybody
win agree. 1t is not enough for the
American people to accept the League
Of Nations simply because Frankie D.
had written the constitution Of Haiti,
and by 50 doing had stolen just one
more vote, which would bring the vot-
ing power Of the United States up to
Just one-third of that which England
would possess in the council Of the
pact. He has failed to explain just
where he would get the other four
votes, but it is supposed that he had
located other South American chicken
coops, which he might visit under
cover Of darkness In other words,

PEPTO-MANGAN
BUILDS HEALTH
Pale Face, Dull Eyes, Dropping

Clogged Blood

If your blood is in bad shape it
shows up in your looks and feeling.
When your blood is rich with red cor
puscles your color is better-your lips
are red, eyes wide open and bright;
your good feeling shows in your ac-
tions.
Common sense win tell you that if
weak, thin blood makes you look life
less, it lowers your vitality. If your
vitality is low you have little power
to resist disease germs. Men, wo-
men and children with rich, red blood
are able to fight off the germs which
bring severe illness.
When you feel run down and weak,
with no appetite and no ambition,
take Pepto-Mangan for awhile. 1t
is a great blood building tonic. You
should begin to feel better within a
few days.
Pepto-Mangan is put up in both
liquid and tablet form. Take either
kind you prefer, because they have
the same medicinal value. But be
sure you get the genuine Pepto-Man-
gan-"Gude's." The full name,
Guides -Mangan,' should be on
the package. adv

FRAME COTTON
EXPORTING BODY
Dixie Bankers Get To-

900 Plan

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Plans
for the organization of a $12,0O0,OOO
cotton export and crop financing cor
poration were adopted at a meeting
here last evening of bankers and rep
resentatives of cotton interests at
tending the convention of the Ameri-
can Bankers association.
The meeting approved suggestions
contained in report of committee,
headed by Robert F. Maddox, At
lanta banker, to move at once in the
direction of preliminary steps toward
orpanizin~ the corporation. Tenta-
tive arrangements provide for the
lllllXidmaeccfoetadi Observation-Disclosures
payment of half of the capital stock
or an initial working fund of $5,000,-
600 capital and 100000 surplus.
Capital subscriptions, the plan
suggests, will be based on an assess
ment of 81 bale on cotton raised in
the respective states, thereby making
the organization one of far reaching
influence throughout all territory
which has had difficulty in financing
the movement of the cotton crop. The
decision to call for the initial pay
ment of only half of the total CAPT
tai means therefore that the subscrip-
lions will be prorated among the pur-
chasers of took on the basis of SOC
per bale.
1t was made clear by speakers at
the meeting that the purposes of the
corporation which will be organized
under the Edge act, amending the
Federal Reserve act, is not to hold the
cotton crop. but to insure the COM
modify to be moved eat time when
the market is stagnant."
Under the provisions of the Edge
act, the corporation is enabled to
handle trade acceptances-agree-
ment of the purchasers-to the
amount of ten times it's capital and
surplus or, in the case of the propos-
ed corporation, the ability to handle
acceptances to the amount of $780,
100000.
ALTHOUGH there was no specific
mention made, there were indications
that formation of the corporation
