JOHN L. KENNEDY The Man We Want for the United States Senate. John L. Kennedy, candidate for United States Senator, is a man worth while. When one scans the list of Nebraska’s sons, no name stands forth with more dignity, more honor, more sterling worth, than John L. Kennedy of Omaha. His character is above reproach, his ability is unques tioned, his mind is his own. Now and then in politics it is the good fortune of voters to find a man aspiring to office who desires the of fice, not for what it may bring him, but what he may bring to the office. When such a man aspires it is usually the case that years have brought wis dom, and that in the complex play of national and world politics he catches the vision of things he would like to do for citizens and nation, before death rings down the sable curtains on the stage of life. John L. Kennedy is such a man. Through the years gone by he has worked to build up his city and state, and monuments stand today as witnesses to his thrift and genius. He is rich, he is cultured, he is learned, and life has little of material things which he desires. As a reward for what life has given him, he now desires to give, as he has often given in the past, something in return. And nothing greater can any man give than his voluntary serv ice to the cause of human needs and human hopes. That the Colored voters of Nebras ka will give their undivided vote to John L. Kennedy, there can be no question. He has been their friend in all that the term friend implies, both in private and public life. There has never been a time or place when the hand of John L. Kennedy has not been outstretched to aid his Colored brother. He is a tnan we have always counted upon and who has never failed us in the hour of need. What we may depend upon when he takes his seat in the Congress of our na tion can never be conjectured. When the race needs him, he will be our champion alongside of the few cham pions whom we already have and may have. John L, Kennedy needs us now and we will not fail him, even as he has never failed us. Our choice for United States Sena tor first, last and all the time, is John L. Kennedy. Boost for The Monitor and The Monitor will boost for you. It's the game of fifty-fifty. IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS ON INSPECTION TOUR The great movement of colored la bor from the South to the North and West has interested the Information Bureau of the United States Depart ment of Immigration and two trained investigators are now on a tour of the country looking into the condition of .he workers in their new environment. The men are Messrs. William Jen nifer and Charles E. Hall, who have been connected with the United States Census Bureau for some years. They have compiled the various bulletins on the Negro issued by that bureau. They have been transferred to the Immigra tion Bureau so that they may report conditions as they find them. During the next six weeks they will visit Columbus, Cleveland, Indianapo lis, Gary, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chi cago, Minneapolis, Duluth and De troit. Over 2,000 inquiries have been made by Southern colored people seeking in formation from the United States La bor Bureau regarding chances of em ployment in the North. WAITERS AT WILSON DINNER STRIKE AND GET MORE PAY Chicago, 111., Oct. 19.—Negro wait ers employed at the Press Club util ized the presence of President Wilson, at lunch there to gain for themselves a raise in wages, without investiga tion and without compromise. Just before the president was due to ar rive thirty special waiters who were to serve the luncheon put on their coats preparatory to walking out. They had not asked for more pay, but when stopped by the steward told him they had decided they must have a 50 per cent increase on the contract prices before they would begin their duties. The advantage was theirs, and the increase was granted. THE COST OF GETTING VILLA The expense of the President’s lat est Mexican alventure, the pursuit of Villa and the patrol of the border has been $100,000,000. The expense of the maintenance of the troops in Texas and in Mexico is between $16, 000,000 and $20,000,000 a month. Be fore the troops are withdrawn the cost of going after Villa will absorb the whole amount provided under the sup plementary revenue bill. And yet the democrats point with pride to their economical administra tion. If this is economy what would extravagance be?
