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.

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,

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.

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.

THE BIG FIGHT FOR OUR
FRIENDS IS ON. 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.

Over here—over h^re —
We will serve, we will serve—over

While our boys are fighting, are
bleeding, dying,
We’ll be striving—over here

Do our BEST—do our BEST and be

We'll be faithful and we’ll be hopeful.
And we won’t give up ’till there’s
FREEDOM EVERYWHERE.
