The Star is very gratified to see the different candidates dropping in the Five Point Headquarters and giving a word of encouragement to both •Chair man Geo. W. Gross and his lady as sistants consisting of Mesdames Ida DePriest, secretary; Mrs. Mabel Fall ings, vice chairman and Mrs. Claire Smith, stenographer. Congressman Vaile brought up a box of cigars and two boxes of delicious chocolates for the ladies who enjoed the treat and appreciation of his thoughtfulness. This is what really counts, “A little drop of water, a little grain of sand, can make a mighty ocean in a pleas ant land.” Recognition of Negro abil ity and talent and the proper appreci ation of the same will give more stim ulus to a person than all the dollars and smiles with no sincerity back of it. It would rtbt be a bad idea if more of the candidates would avail them selves of this opportunity and actually see that the Negro is worth while, as he busily engages himself in the elec tion o fthe ticket. It looks as if real recognition will surely come, if the ticket is elected. Negroes, get busy. The Star thanks Congressman Vaile for his kind remembrances. The difference between the “Gold Dust Twins." Republicans, and the "Coal Dust Twins,” Democratic, is that the former scours, cleans, bright ens and purifies things which have be come dirty and unclean while the lat ter dulls, pollutes, corrupts and black ens everything it touches rendering it thereafter obnoxious and useless. Phipps and Shoup will bring business success and prosperity to this state, while Shafroth and Tynan will bring stagnation, disloyalty, trouble and ■ mob rule, blackening with the coal | dust of bootlegging the fair name of Colorado. Negroes, resent this by , talking everywhere to anybody about I electing Phipps and Shoup. Let the world know that such an intended and attempted slur or insult to your race may be funny to the Bolshevik!, I. W. \V., Socialistic, Democrats, but you regard it as a serious matter. Next time gently impress them to speak of their conglomerate mass of isms as an "Irish Stew” seasoned by "Dutch” Cleanser! If they are with you, urge them to resent it. Know before you leave them, just where they stand. Where you fail by direct application use mental telepathy and auto-sugges tion. Get him convinced o’*. Phipps and Shoup. If John Sharp Williams, the South ern Democratic fire-eater, or colleague of John F. Shafroth, Democratic Sen ator could have seen the hearty patri otic response given to our Negro girls of the Y. W. C. A. Patriotic league and to our women engaged in the vari ous war activities as represented in the Liberty Ixmn parade, his speech on white woman’s suffrage and his amendment would never have been made. Vote Vaile, Logan, Hardy and Timberlake. Though they are too old to fight, yet Messrs. Phipps and Shoup will ingly, fully and freely, without any favoritism gave up their dear ones, their means, time and energy to the war, besides having their best mo tives for service impunged to serve Old Glory. Do you think that either our wealthy men or women could have been induced, or even coaxed into the war, were it not for the necessities created by it? Every true red-blooded American who believes in loyalty and patriotism will fight for justice to every one, and will repudiate any such rot as class against class. Let every Negro talk louder and faster for Phipps and Shoup called "Gold Dust Twins” to reflect upon our race, that oyu might appease vnur rf"b*potis indignation and make more votes for them. 4 THE STAR’S TICKET OF WINNERS For United States Senator LAWRENCE C. PHIPPS For Congressman—First District WILLIAM N. VAILE For Congressman—Second District CHARLES B. TIMBERLAKE For Congressman—Third District GUY U. HARDY For Congressman—Fourth District STRAUD M. LOGAN For Justices of the Supreme Court HASLETT P. BURKE JOHN H. DENISON For Governor OLIVER H. SHOUP For Lieutenant Governor GEORGE STEPHAN For Secretary of State JAMES R. NOUND (Democratic) For State Treasurer HARRY E. MULNIX For State Auditor ARTHUR M. STONG For Attorney General VICTOR E. KEYES For Superintendent of Public Instruction FLORENCE M. STOTE For Regents of the State University CHARLES R. DUDLEY WILLIAM J. KING THE REASONS WHP Every patriotic citizen should at' this time give his best efforts tQ the efficient prosecution of the war for' human liberty across the seas.' Every American citizen must stand shoulder to shoulder with his brother with ab solute unity of purpose and action, for a speedy and decisive victory for humanity. In this most tragic time in the history of the world, when our government is standing for the honor and the rights of our country, we must be Americans first, and must re member that this war is not a politi cal question. In our political life and action, we may hold widely ‘divergent opinions as to principles and policies, but there can be no division among us in the one purpose of successfully prosecut ing this war, and securing to our selves and to the world a lasting peace. No political party or candidate for office has the right to demand or . receive any political advantage be cause of the war. The party or can ! didate making such a claim should meet with overwhelming defeat. The ! whole American people are supporting this war. and every class and condi tion of people are bearing its burdens. After the war must ‘come recon struction. and the problems of read justment to the new conditions may be greater than those of the war it self. Congress has granted vast pow ers to the executive branch of the government, as necessary war meas ures. and it is already beginning to be apparent that the restoration of those powers to the people will involve ques tions of the greatest economic and po litical consequences in the years im mediately to follow. These condi tions must be met with the highest spirit of patriotism, and with the broadest views, and with proper re spect for the coonstitution and the rights of the individual. The time is coming when labor will be out of employment, when millions now engaged in war activities will be compelled to seek other lines of busi ness. when the burdens of an enorm ous interest-bearing public debt, which must be paid, will fall still more heav ily upon the country, and 'to meet these conditions the country demands the return of the Republican party to power in the nation, in order to pre pare for them, and the time to begin to prepare for these things is now, by the election of a Republican Congress this fall. The people of this country have confidence in the Republican party as the one great political organ ization with the ability to adjust all conditions and meet all emergencies. Its record of real service to all the people constitutes the brightest page of American history. The strength and power of this re public was built up under the rule of the Republican party. Our national policy of a protective tariff laid the foundation of the Industries which constitute so large a part of our ma terial wealth, and which now enable this country to be the deciding factor In the war. Opposition to the presi dent’s war measures in Congress has come principally from members of his own party, i r, • t AN ANNOUNCEMENT Friends of the late Geraldine Trot- * ter, desiring to fittingly commemorate her splendid career, especially 'her labor on the Guardian for the uplift of her Race, met at the Twelfth Bap tist Church, Roxbury, Thursday even ing. October 17th, and formed a Ger aldine L. Trotter Memorial Committee which, when completed, will arratge i for commemorative services to be held at TRBMONT TEMPLE, BOSTON, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 17, AT 3 O’CLOCK. With a desire for a more enduring monument the Committee will en deavor, during the coming month, to create a Memorial Fund for the per petuation of the Guardian. Mrs. Trotter died that the Guardian might live. % We invite all who appreciate her sacrifice or the service of that fear less, uncompromising .Journal with which she was identified, to assist in raising this fund. Let us in an unselfish, Christian spirit, unite at this open grave, and henceforth march to victory. The spirit of those interested may be better understood when it is known that at the initial conference, which suggested the memorial, with only eight persons present, one hundred dollars in cash was subscribed. WE HOPE TO RAISE THREE THOU-1 SAND DOLLARS. A general committee is in pro* ess . of formation and wdll be published next wee kin a space in this paper | which we have requested reserved for our purposes. It is planned to present or send by mail to each subscribe!: to the Fund, including even the newsboy with his nickel, a receipt for the amount given, in the form of a Memorial Card con taining a photographic likeness of Mrs. Trotter. Subscriptions may be sent at once, direct or through the Committee, to EDGAR P. BENJAMIN. ESQUIRE. TREASURER, 34 SCHOOL STREET, » BOSTON. MASS., who will make weekly reoprts of his receipts in this paper. All are inivted to contribute. ' FOR THE COMMITTEE. Rev. Benjamin W. Swain, Rev. Walter D. McClane, Mr. William D.

OUR FRIEND. The Star desires to rail your spe cial attention to the candidacy of Hon F. J. KNAUSS. who is a candidate for re-election to the State Senator. He stood squarely for the colored peo pie in the last legislature and will continue to do so. Protect your in terests and vote for Senator Knauss November sth. “One Good Term De serves Another.” Do you remember the Full Crew bill and the Anti-Tip ping Bill? Do you know to whom the Star went to kill the measure and who stood by us? It was our tried and true friend. Hon. F. J. Knauss. One good turn deserves another. ’le helped us when we. needed him and help him now. If you stick by your friends whom you know and whose friendship you have tested, you cannot forget Jemes K. Noland, our present Secretary of State. Stick by your friends. We oppose Shafroth. because in July he associated, witnessed and favored Bolshevikism at Madiron Square Garden in New York City and heads the Polsheviki, I. \V. W. and aggravated Socialists ticket this fall in Colorado. Russia bleeding and torn has such a government today All we want is 100 per cent Americans, who love and cherish American ideals — Evertyhing American —Even down to the naming of a hotel. A vote for Democracy is a vote for a mob this year. HAGER'S REMEDIES ..I am Denver’s representative for the famous Hager’s Medicines.

LINE UP AND SHOW YOUR COLORB, EVERY BODY, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, IF YOU VOTE, LAY DOWN YOUR PARTY AND STAND BY OUR FRIENDS WHOM WE KNOW ARE RIGHT. The Star has endorsed Mr. Shoupas the best candidate for election. We trust that you will call at the Colored Republican headquarters and get the Phipps button and the Shnup and Vaile cards for distribution. We need real men of true business stamp to represent us in our government. The claim, therefore, set up by our Democratic friends that we should elect Democrats only to Congress'in, order to support the president, and* that the Democratic party ought to be continued In power for the duration of the war, rests upon no just foundation and is simply an example of shallow sophistry that deceives nobody.

It also appears to me that wi»en' prejudices persist obstinately it is the fault of nobody so much as those who make a point of proclaiming them in superable as an excuse for never Join ing In an attempt to remove them. Any prejudice whatever will be Insur mountable if those who do not share In It themselves truckle to It and flatter It and accept it as a law of na ture.—John Stuart Mills.
