Let us get unitedly behind Singleton in the Ninth district and Barnett in the Tenth dis trict and elect them. Open the door by electing these candidates. Lay aside all petty eycuses and help elect Singleton and Barnett. i DON’T VOTE FOR MEYERS Frank Meyers, present member of the Board of Education, is a candidate for re election. It has been reported to us from reliable sources that Ilf is one of the members of the Board who opposed the appointment of colored teachers. Don t vote for him. He will tell of of his friendliness towards waiters and porters, ■which is alright, but he is not favorable to the appointment of colored teachers. The present county clerk, Miss Berger, has, since her appointment, retained one of the race in her office. It is known she is fair and pleasant with all whom she meets, it is also her desire that all of her employees be kind and considerate to all regardless of race, color or creed. These two facts alone should be of interest to our race, not withstanding she has had twenty years of experience in the County Clerk s of fice and has filled every position therein. Miss Berger is a candidate for County Clerk at the election, November 2, 1626. BIG DEMOCRATIC RALLY HELD BY COLORED VOTERS Democrats had an inning at 14-18 North 24th Street last Friday night. October 22. when the Negro democratic club presented the candidates of the democratic party. Among the speakers were Grenville P. North, candidate for congress; Harland L. Mossman, candidate for County At torney; H. K. Easton, candidate for County Clerk; John J. Barry, for State Repre sentative, Ninth District; Charles Pekio, for register of deeds, and A. W. Elsasaer, Edward E. Howell and H. P. Caldwell, for county commissioners, and John Hop kins, candidate for sheriff. All the candi dates pledged a square deal for the Negro. Mr. Harry Leland, president of the club, in a very full statement, gave the history of the work of the democrats toward the Negro He told them of William Lloyd Garrison, the founder of the New England Abolition Society and the editor of the Liberator, who was a democrat; of Wen dell Phillips, the anti-slavery orator, who was a democrat, who was generous enough to train Douglas to do the wonderful things he did. Coming to our own time, Mr. Leland called attention to the situation in New York, and said: "The Negroes in New York work and vote for democrats, and the democrats appoint Negroes to luc rative positions in city and state. Nor do we need to go to New York to find this condition. It exists right here in this city. The first colored man to be ap pointed Inspector of Weights and Meas ures in Omaha, was Abraham Parker, who was placed by Mayor Cushing, a demo crat. A democratic Tax Assessor here ap pointed Silas Robbings chief clerk in his office. The name of the man Was Harry Scroggins. It was through the influence of Mr. Cris Hartman that we got the colored Fire Department. The firBt day light colored clerk was appointed in the Treasurer’s office by Otto Bauman, a dem ocrat. The republican, Ure, had one who worked nights for a time. M. F. Single ton, bailiff in the municipal court, was ap pointed by the voters of the four demo crats on that bench. The simple truth is that all that the Negro has gained local ly has been vrst gained through the demo crats, shown by the record I have pre sented.” “All of the democratic candidates pledged themselves to give fair treatment to the Negro in every way. And if we are to judge by past performances, they will do all they pledge themselves to do.” “Read the record, then vote for the party and the men who will best serve the interests of all.” WWWVUWMMWMW/// J ■ Candidate for \ • j!

FLORENCE PINKSTON. IMPRESSIVE SERVICES OF INSTITUTION AT ST. PHILIP’S CHURCH Bishop Shayler Formally Institutes Pastor Who Has Served Same Congregation for 35 Years. A large congregation wag present last Sunday morning at 11 o'clock when the Rt. Rev. Ernest Vincent Shayler, Bishop of Nebraska, formally instituted the Rev. John Albert Williams, as rector of the pariah of St. Philip the Deacon. From its organization until last January, St. Philip's had been a mission, when it incorporated as a parish, and elected the Rev. John Albert Williams, who for thirty-five year* had served the congregation as vicar, rec tor. Bishop Shayler arranged for his in | stitution as provided by the canons of the Church in connection with the thirty fifth anniversary of Father Williams’ or dination to the priesthood. The ceremony of institution consisted of the reading of the Letter of institution by the bishop, the delivery of the keys of the church to the rector by the Senior Warden of the pariah, Sergt. Isaac Bailey, as the recognition by the parish of the in cumbent as priest and rector; the accept ance of the keys by the rector with the promise to serve as a faithful pastor of the flock, a prayer for guidance and benediction by the bishop. Following this was the sermon by Bish op Shayler in which this eloquent prelate dearly defined the difference in status between a mission and a parish, congratu lated priest and people upon the progress made and drew a striking parallel between the thirty-five years of the pastor to the church and community to that of Moses' forty years’ leadership of the children of Israel. The speaker stressed among other things that it is only the sure knowledge of the presence and grace of Cod that '■nables leaders, priests and prophets to carry on. He pleaded for continual co- I operation between pastor and people to reader greater service for Christ in keep ing with the Apostolic traditions and character of the Holy Catholic Church.
