# The Case Against Senator Baird

## An Appeal to New Jersey Voters

In February, 1918, David Baird of Camden was appointed to serve for a portion of the unexpired term of Senator William Hughes, a Democrat and an avowed supporter of the Federal Amendment for Woman Suffrage. David Baird is now a candidate for the remainder of Senator Hughes' unexpired term, from November until March, 1919. He was appointed by the Governor of the State on the express understanding that he would "support President Wilson's war policies."

Early in August, Senator Baird announced that his campaign slogan would be, "Uphold the President; Win the War."

On August 6th President Wilson sent a personal letter to Senator Baird asking him to support the Federal Woman Suffrage Amendment as a war measure.

On September 30th President Wilson appeared before the United States Senate and asked it to pass the Federal Woman Suffrage Amendment "as a war measure," saying in part:

"I regard the concurrence of the Senate in the constitutional amendment proposing the extension of the suffrage to women as vitally essential to the successful prosecution of the great war of humanity in which we are engaged. We have made partners of the women in this war. Shall we admit them only to a partnership of suffering and sacrifice and toil, and not to a partnership of privilege and right? We shall not only be distrusted, but shall deserve to be distrusted, if we do not enfranchise them with the fullest possible enfranchisement, as it is now certain that the other great free nations will enfranchise them. I tell you plainly as the commander-in-chief of our armies and of the gallant men in our fleets, as the present spokesman of this people in our dealings with the men and women throughout the world who are now our partners—I tell you plainly that this measure which I urge upon you is vital to the winning of the war."

ON OCTOBER FIRST SENATOR BAIRD VOTED AGAINST THE FEDERAL WOMAN SUFRAGE AMENDMENT.

On October first the Republican Party of New Jersey incorporated in its platform a plank recommending the ratification of the Federal Woman Suffrage Amendment by the next session of the Legislature, provided the measure passes the United States Senate in time to come before it for adoption. In order to do this the Amendment must be passed by the Senate during the present session of Congress, and it is scheduled to come up for a vote in December.

On October first the Amendment failed of passage by only two votes. Another candidate for an unexpired term has promised to vote for it in December, so that only one more vote is needed. Senator Baird has been asked if he will follow the lead of his party and vote for the Amendment in December, but he refuses to make such a promise.

Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and British South Africa have given their women full suffrage. Women have full suffrage, or almost full suffrage, in the western States of the United States and in New York. The only English-speaking women in the world without the vote today are the women of the southern and eastern states of this country. Is this fair? Are our women less intelligent and deserving of recognition than the women of Great Britain or of the West?

If you are willing to stand by the women of New Jersey, vote against Senator David Baird on November 5th, and vote for his opponent, a man who served in the State Legislature for five years with distinction and honor, and who is pledged to vote for the Federal Woman Suffrage Amendment. Mark your ballot like this:

National Conference on Lynching

THE prevalence in many states of the spirit which tolerates lynching, accompanied too often with inhuman cruelty, and the inability or unwillingness of the public authorities to punish the persons who are guilty of this crime, threaten very seriously the future peace of the nation. Not only is lynching a denial of the right secured by law to every man of a fair trial before an established court in case he is charged with crime, not only does it brutalize the communities which suffer it by breeding a spirit of lawlessness and cruelty in the young people who see barbarities unpunished and uncondemned, not only does it terrorize important bodies of our citizens, but it inevitably leads the people whose rights are thus trampled upon to leave the regions where their lives, their families and their property are in danger, and move to others where they can find peace and protection, thus disturbing the labor situation all over the country. It also blots our fair fame as a nation, for we cannot claim to be civilized until our laws are respected and enforced and our citizens secured against the hideous cruelties of which we are constantly furnishing fresh examples.

It is time that we should wake to the need of action, and that public opinion, irresistible when

aroused, should be enlisted against this barbarism in
our midst.

To this end we invite our fellow-citizens to attend
or send delegates to a convention which will be held
in New York City, on the Fifth and Sixth of May,
Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen, in order to take con-
certed action against lynching and lawlessness wher-
ever found, and to consider what measures should
be adopted to abate them. It is hoped that the whole
country will be represented and that the action taken
may be backed by a powerful public opinion of
law-abiding men and women.

In humble prayer to thee,

No other help have we

In our distress.

Oppressed because of race,

Denied our rightful place,

In this land fair.

Pierced to the very core,

By trials our hearts are sore,

Trials freeman ne'er before

Have had to bear.

O bring the day to pass

When through this land at last,

Freedom shall be:

When there in truth shall be,

From mountain to the sea,

A land to even we,

Of liberty.

### To Parents and Pupils:

In order that the work of the coming year may be an improvement over that of the past, some matters for your careful consideration are given below.

### Parents:

Are respectfully requested to insist on a regular and conscientiously used practice hour. This is of the utmost importance. Few pupils spend anywhere near the time required to master a given lesson; hence the quality of the work presented at each lesson is unsatisfactory, and a serious waste of money and time results. Record Books should be inspected after each lesson. Your presence is welcome at all lessons.

### Pupils:

Why not make better the work of this year? It can be done if you will pay closer attention to the instruction given; have a definite practice time and use it every day: when you sit down to practice use not only your fingers, but your thinking power and memory as well; strive for accuracy in reading, fingering and time. Remember but one medal will be awarded in each grade.

Be ready for each lesson on time. It is better to be five or ten minutes ahead of time than three or four minutes late, as each half hour is taken from 7 A. M. to 10 P. M. A pupil must not expect to trespass on the time belonging to another pupil. Have all lesson books, including Record Book, ready for work.

### Grade Work:

All the work in a grade must be completed before a pupil will be advanced to the next higher grade. Pupils in Second Grade and up should use a Metronome. Ability to do grade work with the Metronome will be taken into consideration in the awarding of prizes.

### Term Cards:

Are given each pupil that the requirements of each year may be known with certainty. A duplicate card for each member of the Class is kept at the Studio. Cost of replacing a lost term card is five cents.

### Practice:

Primary and First Grade pupils should practice one hour each day. Second and Third Grades one and a half hours. Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Grades two hours. Seventh and Eighth Grades two and a half to three hours. Ninth and Tenth Grades three and a half to four hours a day.

### Terms:

Lesson fees are 50 cents for half-hour lessons; 75 cents for three-quarters of an hour; $1.00 for hour lessons. *No charge accounts allowed.*

### Marking System:

Stars less than mistakes—Poor. Stars equal mistakes—Fair. Stars twice mistakes—Good. Stars three times mistakes—Excellent. The required number of stars and no mistakes—Perfect. Each missed lesson adds *five* mistakes to the month's record unless made up before the month ends. Each failure to recite assigned work counts three mistakes.

## Missed Lessons:

Remember lessons missed by pupils must be paid for. Missed lessons can be made up at the residence of the Instructor by appointment, on legal holidays between the hours of 8 A. M. and 1 P. M. All *legal* holidays are allowed.

## Rewards:

1st—Gold Medals—One in each grade to the pupil receiving the highest number of perfect stars; said pupil averaging two lessons a week. Should two or more pupils in a grade tie for a medal, their names will appear on the Honor Roll in the program, they will draw for the medal.

2nd—Sterling Silver Pins to all pupils who average two lessons a week from September 4th, 1917, to June 30th, 1918.

3rd—A Book of Studies for the Pianoforte to pupils taking one lesson a week. One in each grade to the pupil receiving the highest number of perfect stars, said pupil averaging one lesson a week for the period named above.

4th—Gold Ring to the pupil securing the largest number of new pupils above three for the class. New pupils must take at least eight lessons or will not be counted.

All awards are made at the close of the Annual Exhibition in June. Rewards will be forfeited if pupil's standing falls below excellent.

## Recitals:

There will be five public Recitals, one in December at the Christmas Reception, two in New York City, one in March in Jersey City, and the Annual Exhibition in June.

## To Parents and Pupils:

### Parents:

### Pupils:

Be ready for each lesson on time. It is better to be five or ten minutes ahead of time than three or four minutes late, as each half hour is taken from 9 A. M. to 9 P. M. A pupil must not expect to trespass on the time belonging to another pupil. Have all lesson books, including Record Book, ready for work.

## Grade Work:

## Term Cards:

Are given each pupil that the requirements of each year will be known with certainty. A duplicate card for each member of the Class is kept at the Studio. Cost of replacing a lost term card is five cents.

## Practice:

## Terms:

Lesson fees are 75 cents for half-hour lessons; $1.15 cents for three-quarters of an hour;; $1.50 for hour lessons. **No charge** accounts allowed.

## Marking System:

Stars less than mistakes—poor. Stars equal mistakes—Fair. Stars twice mistakes—Good. Stars three times mistakes—Excellent. The required number of stars and no mistakes—Perfect. Each missed lesson adds five mistakes to the month's record unless

## Missed Lessons:

Lessons missed by pupils must be paid for. A limited number of missed lessons can be made up at the residence of the Instructor by appointment. All legal holidays allowed.

## Reward:

2nd—Sterling Silver Pins to all pupils who average two lessons a week.

"I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it

One Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"

## The Star-Spangled Banner

1. Oh, say, can you see,
   By the dawn's early light,
   What so proudly we hailed
   At the twilight's last gleaming,
   Whose broad stripes and bright stars
   Thro' the perilous fight,
   O'er the ramparts we watched,
   Were so gallantly streaming?
   And the rockets' red glare,
   The bombs bursting in air,
   Gave proof thro' the night
   That our flag was still there.

### CHORUS

Oh, say, does that star-spangled
Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?

2. On the shore dimly seen
Thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host
In dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze,
O'er the towering steep,
As it filfully blows;
Half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam
Of the mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected
Now shines on the stream:

### CHORUS

'Tis the star-spangled banner,
Oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave.

ALBERT TUCKER, Bandmaster

## The Star-Spangled Banner (Continued)

3. And where is that band
   Who so vauntingly swore
   That the hayoc of war
   And the battle's confusion
   A home and a country
   Should leave us no more?
   Their blood has washed out
   Their foul footsteps' pollution,
   No refuge could save
   The hireling and slave
   From the terror of flight
   And the gloom of the grave.

### CHORUS

And the star-spangled banner
In triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave.

4. Oh, thus be it ever
   When Freeman shall stand
   Between their loved home
   And wild war's desolation,
   Blest with vict'ry and peace,
   May the heav'n-rescued land
   Praise the power that hath made
   And preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must,
For our cause it is just,
And this be our motto:
"In God is our trust!"

### CHORUS

And the star-spangled banner
In triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave.

## Amerira

1. My country 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died;
Land of the pilgrim's pride;
From ev'ry mountain side
Let freedom ring.

2. My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.

3. Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake,
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

4. Our father's God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King.

CHARLESTON, S. C., MARCH 27th, 1917

The Management of The Hospital and Training School, appeal to you for aid. In asking the community to aid this cause, we are mindful of the services rendered the community during the past twenty years. During this time our nurses have been employed in many homes of those who thus desired to help the Institution. It is with pardonable pride, that we recall the services rendered during a typhoid epidemic, when a section of the city south of Broad Street was invaded.

Our income during the past two years has not been sufficient to meet our current expenses. The increased cost of drugs and surgical appliances together with the increased cost of maintainence now jeopardize the continuation of the work. During the past year our out-door nurse service has not had the usual demand, thus causing a further deficiency

Our income is only that derived from the services of nurses in private families and from the very moderate fees we charge patients. The private rooms are self supporting but patients admitted to the wards are to a great extent "charity"

The Hospital has a mortgaged indebtedness of THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS which must be satisfied in the next few weeks.

Would YOU contribute something towards lifting this DEBT?

Any contribution will be gratefully received. If by check, please make payable to
THE HOSPITAL AND TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES, Inc.

All donations will be published

Respectfully presented by

# National Memorial Association
INCORPORATED

FOR THE ERECTION OF A MONUMENT IN THE CITY
OF WASHINGTON, D. C., IN HONOR OF THE COLORED
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS WHO FOUGHT IN THE WARS
OF OUR COUNTRY ...

More than a half century ago the Martyred Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation that gave freedom to the slaves of America. Immediately following that memorable event the Civil War closed. Within the past few years several appropriate celebrations have been held in commemoration of President Lincoln's noble deed. These events have passed into history and remain dear to the memory of a grateful people.

In every war of the Nation the Negro has had his place. In the War of the Revolution, the War of 1812, at Mexico, in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the punitive expedition now existing in Mexico. His bravery and loyalty have never been questioned.

His deeds of valor and sacrifice for the honor of the Nation and perpetuity of the Union have been told in song and story. But no monument of marble or bronze has been erected by the nation nor the race with which he is identified, to be gazed upon by future generations and arouse in them veneration and pride for their heroic ancestry.

## A MONUMENT SHOULD BE ERECTED.

It is quite proper that after these long, long years of seeming neglect a monument should be erected to the memory of the dead heroes of the Colored race, who sacrificed their lives upon the Altar of their Country.

### A PAGE FROM HISTORY.

#### The Colored Soldier and Sailor.

"They were found in all branches of the patriot Army. They generally served in the same regiments with the white soldiers. Connecticut, however, had one complete company of Colored soldiers, and Rhode Island a complete regiment. According to an official report, there were in the Army, under Gen. Washington's immediate command, on the 24th of August, 1778, 775 Colored soldiers. It is estimated that there was an average of 35 Colored soldiers in each white regiment. This does no appear to include the Colored troops furnished by Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. There were altogether about 3,000 Colored soldiers.

Some of the most heroic deeds of the War of Independence were performed by Colored men. The first martyr in the Boston massacre, March 5, 1770, was Crispus Attucks. The Black Legion, organized in 1779 in St. Domingo by Count D'Estaing, consisted of 800 young freemen—blacks and mulattoes. At the siege of Savannah on the 9th of October, 1779, this legion, by covering the retreat and repulsing the charge of the British, saved the defeated American and French Army from annihilation.

A large number of Colored sailors were in the Navy during the War of 1812. It is estimated that one-tenth of the crews that manned the vessels on the Great Lakes were Colored. They served faithfully in all the battles of the Great Lakes and in the Battle of Lake Erie rendered very effective service. In the celebrated picture of Perry's victory on Lake Erie is seen a Colored sailor.

Gen. Andrew Jackson. September 21, 1814, issued a call to the free Colored men of Louisiana to enlist. As a result 500 of them were organized into two battalions. These battalions distinguished themselves in the Battle of New Orleans. The Legislature of New York, October 24, 1814, authorized the raising of two regiments of men of color. As a result, 2,000 Colored men were enlisted and sent forward to the Army at Sacketts Harbor.

One hundred and seventy-eight thousand nine hundred and seventy-five Colored soldiers were enlisted in the War of the Rebellion. The first Colored regiments to be organized were the First South Carolina, in which the first enlistments were made May 9th, 1862; the First Louisiana Native Guards, September 27, 1862; the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts, February 9, 1862; the Second Carolina Volunteers, February 23, 1863.

July 28, 1866, Congress passed a law that Colored regiments should be a part of the Regular Army. The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, and the Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth, and Forty-first Regiments of infantry were organized. March 3, 1869, a consolidation act was passed, and the Thirty-eighth and Forty-first were reorganized as the Twenty-fourth Regiment of Infantry; the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth were reorganized as the Twenty-fifth Regiment of Infantry. The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry won the reputation of being the best Indian fighters on the frontier.

At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898 the four Colored regiments were among the first troops ordered to the front. Here again they won great distinction by their bravery and daring. Colored soldiers took a more conspicuous part in the Spanish-American War than in any previous war waged by the United States. At the first battle in Cuba, Las Guasimas, the Tenth Cavalry played an important part by coming to the support of Col. Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders. The Twenty-fifth Infantry took a prominent part in the Battle of El Caney. The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth Infantry rendered heroic service in the famous Battle of San Juan Hill."

1. It appears from the official records that the following named volunteer organizations, officered wholly or in part by Colored men, served in the War with Spain:

3d Regiment Alabama Infantry,

8th Regiment Illinois Infantry,

Companies A and B, 1st Regiment Indiana Infantry,

Company L, 6th Regiment Massachusetts Infantry,

23d Regiment Kansas Infantry,

3d Regiment North Carolina Infantry,

9th Battalion Ohio Infantry,

6th Regiment Virginia Infantry,

7th Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry,

8th Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry,

9th Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry,

10th Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry.

2. According to the latest compilation, the number of Colored Volunteer Troops in the service of the United States during the War with Spain was 10,189. This number does not include the four Colored Regiments of the Regular Army, which had an average strength of 3,323 enlisted men during the calendar year 1898.

The enlisted strength of the four Colored Regiments of the Regular Army on February 28, 1899, near the date of the close of the War with Spain, was 3,339 men.

The National Memorial Association has been endorsed by the following organizations and eminent men:

Department of the Potomac, G. A. R.; Woman's Relief Corps. Department of Potomac; Army and Navy Union. District of Columbia; Spanish War Veterans, District of Columbia; Hon. John B. Kern, U. S.

SOMETHING NEW IN STOCKINGS? WHAT IS IT?

Why the Fay Ideal Stockings for Children. The Stockings which button to the Waist.

The front of the Ideal Stocking is knitted enough longer than the ordinary stock-
ing to permit it to be fastened directly to the waist by two buttons, doing away with
all supporters, which are constant trouble makers. At the back it is regular length,
same as any other stocking, except that it has a small triangular gusset sewed in
which adds strength to the stocking and gives it the correct shape of the leg. The
stocking thus fits neatly, gives free action to the knee, and does not bind the leg at
any point.

The Ideal Stockings are most practical for children, buttoning to the waist, they
are easier to fasten than the regular stocking, always stay up, fit better, look neater,
and feel more comfortable. They save the cost of supporters, save darning, save
trouble and worry to mother and children.

In addition to the above, I also handle a full line of the best Cotton, Silk Lisle and Silk Stockings for Men, Women and Children. These stockings are all guaranteed to give wear and satisfaction or money refunded.

Guaranteed Fabric Shoes for the Summer season, raincoats and underwear complete the list.

I would consider it a favor if you would drop me a postal, and I will call and show you samples of my goods, no matter whether you purchased or not.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

LOCATED at Augusta, Ga., under the care of the Presbyterian Board of Missions for Freedmen, is a large colored school known as the Haines Normal and Industrial Institute.

The Principal, Miss Lucy C. Laney, enjoys the distinction of being the only colored woman under the board at the head of a large and important educational institution. She is a graduate of Atlanta University, and has an education of which no woman in this land need be ashamed. Equipped for the work and fired with a dauntless zeal for the elevation of her race, of whom she always speaks as "my people," she entered Augusta single handed and alone, some Thirty years ago, and began teaching the few children she could draw around her. As she taught, her school increased. No one stood with her at first; the Freedmen's Board commissioned her for the work, but at the time gave her only what she could collect on the field for her services.

Her patience, courage and self-forgetfulness and good common sense attracted attention. She began with a few scholars and herself as teacher, till now she employs 22 teachers and has an enrollment of more than 800 pupils.

Miss Laney is sacrificing her life for the betterment of her people. She has taken and is taking especial interest in the poor and destitute children by not only allowing them to remain in school without pay, but each month using her own salary to provide them with books, clothing and helping them to get an education.

We as former students and friends, are desirous of helping her.
Will you help?

NOTE—The League has decided to broaden its work for the school by becoming responsible for the financial support of the kindergarten department and respectfully requests contributions to this worthy cause.
