A PRAYER
In future years, when men shall tell
Of valiant deeds ’mid stress and tire;
How they swept on, when comrades fell.
That Freedom’s name might still inspire.
When Home-ward they shall march again
From hard-fought field, and from the sea.
And Music swells a grander strain
0 God, grant Thou this boon to me:
That I may join in that high speech,
Telling the wonders of the light;
How that I too, did help to teach
That Truth must triumph over Might.
On that great day point me a place
Among the heroes of the line.
That l may bring my waiting race
Bright jewels, on each brow to shine.
Unfettered, and a man at last.
Grant me to walk amid the throng.
Unburdened by a shame-filled past,
To sing the new-writ freedom song.
Let thost who bear my story told.
And see flu* scars the denied blade.
Know that the hatred things of old
Will rise no more to make afraid.
Let Prejudice, and Greed, and all
The blight of hope. I've known before.
Be banished with a Despot's fall
Let Valor find an Open Door.
God give me power to do my part.
Help me perform the deathless deed.
Gird me with strength, set firm my heart
In this dread hour flu* call to heed.
And if I be not there to tread
The Victor’s way with glory drest.
Somewhere among the silent dead
Where raged the battle, let met rest!

THE DYER BILL
Are You For or Against It?
The question uppermost in the minds of the
more intelligent colored people, when discus
sing members 'of congress, is “Is he for or
against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill?” The
time has now come when we might with pro
priety ask that question of people generally
and especially of and concerning that group so
particularly affected by it. Are you, men and
women of color for < r against the Dyer Bill?
It is one thing to sit at home and call Mr.
Stafford names for his vote in Congress, or
and is in your power to give, are hollow and
stand on the corner and rout about our betray
al by one we trusted; but that does not prove
to our satisfaction that you are FOR the bill.
Words without action, when action is needed
worthless. If you are for the Dyer Bill and
really desire its passage into a law, you will,
since denied the right to vote directly tor the
bill register a vigorous protest against him who,
when the opportunity olfered to show his true
colors, spoke and voted against it, because he
believed as he expressed it, “it would set back
for a decade the etforls of the republican party
to build up in the south.” He put party expe
diency above human life and betrayed the en
tire state into the hands of the enemy; by that
act Mr. Stafford has forfeited all right to the
support of the good citizens of the sth District.
If you are against the Dyer Anti-Lynching
Bill and believe in the right to kill and burn
human beings without interference, then vote
for W. 11. Stafford. If you believe, however,
that even the bumble Negro is entitled to the
protection of that government to which he has
given so much, then vote against Stafford by
voting for Fdward Murray, the only man who
can defeat him in primaries September sth.
Are you for or against the Dyer Bill?
Herman L. Ekern
For Attorney (ioiu'i'nl
Herman L. Ekern. La FoMette Pro
gressive Republican candidate for at
torney general, has a long record of
public service.
Asa member of the judiciary com
mittee of the Wisconsin assembly in
1902 and as chairman of the com
mittee in 1!>0" he had a large part
in the enactment of the Wisconsin
legislation for safe guarding the rail
road employes and the traveling pub
lic. He was a leader in the enact
ment of laws regulating child labor
and for the protection of women in
industry, and itt the enactment of the
primary law and in the long list of
progressive legislation in Wisconsin.
Later as commissioner of insurance
lie vigorously supported the work
men's compensation law. Asa pri |
vate citizen he has actively promoted
model compensation legislation in a
large number of other states, always]
being found on the side of securing
fully the rights of labor.
As counsel for flit' mutual and co
operative insurance companies of the |
United States he has fought the In- 1
surance Trust and has done as much j
to destroy this gigantic monopoly as!
any man in the country.
Nothing cools the ardor of a man for a mar
ried woman like a decree of divorce or the
death of a husband. Women, do you get that
one?
Asa man lives, so is he apt to die. Prepare
to live, you will die anyway.
Fools work AND gamble; wise men work
OR gamble. That is Solomonic!
If a candidate for office can be defeated
merely because he is a Jew, the Negro stands
a helluva chance of recognition. We don’t
think! *
WHY MORGAN?
An intelligent man, whenever he is asked to
do any particular thing unless he is already in
formed in respect to it, enguires the reason
why. It is thus he shows his intelligence, and
if once enlisted in the cause may he relied upon
for intelligent service. And so being asked
by us to vote for William .1. Morgan, you have
a perfect right to ask the reason why.
First and foremost, we support him be
cause we know him as we know no other man
in public life; we know that he is clean, able
and fearless, and relentlessly opposes to the
separation of the American people into racial,
or religious divisions, lie is a fair, conscien
tious, broad-minded man of big vision; too big
to stoop to petty politics; too liberal to judge
any man except by a standard applicable to
all. He accepts and will perform every duty
imposed upon him and he is willing to accord
to every man the rights that are his. He rec
ognizes no color line in the administration of
the law and will subject his fellow citizens of
color to no treatment not alike applicable to
all citizens. He has given his written endorse
ment to tin* Dyer Anti-Lynching Hill. We be
lieve he will make a most excellent governor.
These are our reasons for asking you to sup
port Hill Morgan, once the rail-road section
hand; now candidate for governor of Wiscon
sin.

Schafer Offers
Opportunity to
Fourth District
La Follette Progressive Congres
sional Candidate Has Won Spurs
in Actual Service
JOHN C. SCHAFER
Fourth District
The voters of the Fourth congres
sional district of Wisconsin have an
unusual opportunity in the coming
primaries to send a progressive to
Congress.
Mr. John C. Schafer, La Follette
progressive Republican candidate
from this district, is not an experi
ment in legislative matters. The rec
ords show that as a member of the
state assembly he always voted and
fought for the best interests of all
the people. Few men, it may be said,
ever made a more creditable record
in one term.
Aggressive as well as progressive,
Mr. Schafer would undoubtedly be
heard from in the halls of Congress
if the voters have the good sense to
send him there. Back of his sterling
convictions is real moral courage.
When war was declared Mr.
Schafer enlisted and was among the
first to go over seas. After two
years and a half of service he was
mustered out with a clear record. He
then returned to work as a locomo
tive fireman and engineer on the C.
& N. IV. R. R„ where he continued
until elected to the assembly in 1920.
When his duties at Madison had
been completed he again went back
to his engine, and is in active service
at the present time.
Mr. Schafer is a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and ‘Enginennn.
Devotion to duty and loyalty to the
country’s best traditions are char
acterstics that will accompany Mr.
Schafer to Congress if he is success
ful, and will be important factors in
the fight he will certainly make for
progressive ideals that are prac
tically embodied in the platform
upon which he is making his cam
paign.
The voters of the Fourth district
should vote for this workingman and
add another member to that steadfast
delegation that has served Wisconsin
with credit and distinction.
Authorized anil paid SI.OO per inch by John
(\ Schafer.
George Comings
For Lieutenant Governor
Lieutenant Governor George Com
ings is a farmer —a real dirt farmer
—from Eau Claire County. He knows
the farmer’s problem and is in hearty
sympathy with the aspirations of in
dustrial workers.
Like Governor Blaine, he has ad
vocated closer political, commercial,
and economic relations of the farmers
with tin* workers in cities. He in
sists that the farmer can not be pros
perous unless the mass of consumers
of his products are prosperous. He
declares that good wages for workers
means good prices for farmers’ pro
duce. This is the progressive idea in
Wisconsin which the farmers are be
ginning to realize is a fundamental
part of their relation to other work
ing men.
Authorized and Paid for at the rate
of SI.OO per inch.
