They felt very mu'ch hurt and aggrieved that such a charge should be made. One of the candidates publicly expressed himself as “surprised that the editor of The Monitor, a gentleman whom we all highly esteem, should publish on the front page of his newspaper an edi torial like this” (referring to our editorial of last week) making such a charge.” Will those who denied the charge explain these returns from two of the wards which are known to be Klan strong holds, the First and Twelfth? First Ward Citizens’ Slate_25,160 Square Seven_18,908 Twelfth Ward Citizens’ Slate_15,183 Square Seven- 8,247 The western precincts of the Tenth reveal relatively like re turns. “Can such things be and overcome us like a summer cloud without our special won der” as just how this can be explained? Explanation, please. KEEP IT UP For the first time for many, many moons, the colored vote in this city was practically united and voted solidly. May this become a fixed habit and we will get somewhere. “A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER” While the hirst W'ard gave the Klan slate a majority of 6,252 and the Twelfth Ward one of 6,936, the anti-Klan Second Ward gave the Square Seven a majority of 9,518 and the third, a majority of 8,193. Two Klan wards gave their slate a total majority of 13,188, two anti Klan wards gave their slate a total majority of 17,711. HAYES HONORS MOTHER What a beautiful tribute to the memory of a self-sacrific ing mother, as all true mothers are, is the building of a memor ial to his mother by the gifted tenor, Roland Hayes. And how fitting it is that the memorial is to take the form of a school where privileges will be open to all, white as well as black, who may wish to partake of the privileges it will offer for the nurture of the utilitarian, cultural and artistic life. It is to be. at Calhoun, Ga., his birthplace, where his race is so largely denied privileges of even rudimentary education to say nothing of the artistic. Will the vision and magnanim ity of this gifted son of that Georgia hamlet be lost on the South? Or will Roland Hayes by this pious act of commemo ration of his sainted mother prove himself a gifted seer as well as gifted singer? LINCOLN, NEBRASKA The Salon Club gave their first ex hibition of youthful athletics in Ma sonic hajl last Friday evening. Remit for your paper.
