WM. J. CAMUBELL'S STANDING
BEFORE THE NEGRO VOTERS.
In a great crisis we always have a
man to come forward and present him
self as a leader of the people. In the
election of Sheriff, there is no great
principle to be fought out; neither is
there any campaign slogans. It is al
most a personal campaign. Both men
says Mayor Beardsley, are spier did
gentlemen, but I favor' Mr. CufiHiuell
because the people in re-electing
i'hrrles Baldwin expressed themselves
l r a Republican Sheriff, therefore Mr.
Cai: .V'H should till out the unexpired
term f the late Mr. Baldwin."
How i Mr. Campbell going to win
the eli l on? By every man foing to
the polls and voting early. All over
the city; the Negroes have awakened
to the fact that one of their white
friends in the person of Mr. Campbell,
is asking for their suffrage.
There are "i.5u i Negro voters in the
city. About 2,150 are qualified voters
for this election. 1a-x every one of
them within the reach of the mighty
voice of the press, go early to the polls
and cast their vote for Mr. Campbell.
Mr. Campbell was born in the state
of Ohio, where wayback in slavery
days, white people operated the mult r
grouud railroad whereby Negroes
might be free. He comes from that
good old puritan stock of white people
who. as abolitionists, sought Irecdom
for the slaves. Tingling in his veins
is that vitality of the broad-minded
white people, who believe in giving
the Negro a show. Quoting our es
teemed Mayor, we say: "There is noth
ing bad that could be said of I he other
fellow," but from the NVki'u staudoint
we know "Bill" Campbell. We have
talked with him.
He has been a friend to us In the
past and many and many a Negro has
felt his liberality. It Is for these rea
sons that the Negro must arouse him
self ami when Dec. 27 comes, go to the
polls and cast a vote for Mr. Campb
bell, Kansas City's own favorite
adopted son.
