Fall in and for d to victory.

Go to the polls next Tuesday and do your full duty.

Oh, how sad will Bryan be when the returns come in.

Get out the votes and there’ll be no doubt about Taft’s election.

Wake up; come out; shout and hur rah for Taft and Sherman.

If you wish to see “Old Glory” wave in proud triumph, vote for Taft.

Let us see what a big majority we can give for Taft and Sherman and the Old Flag.

Get up early in the morning and stay up late at night working for Taft and Sherman.

With glee we’ll sing “My country ’tis of thee, land of the noble free,” when Taft is elected.

A vote for Bryan is a vote for an empty market basket; hard times come when the Democratic party is in pow-

er.

See to it that every voter who fa.vors the right puts his ballot where it will count one for Taft and Sherman

Take off your coat and work for Taft and Sherman until the evening of November 3; then we can shout and yell until we are hoarse.

Get out and hustle; see your neigh, bors and your neighbors’ neighbors, and induce them to vote for Taft and Sherman.

If you desire the election of Taft and Sherman you must not only vote for them, but you must see that your friends cast their votes right.

When the glorious sun beams on the smiling earth on the morning of November 3, be at the polls ready to vote and work for Taft and Sherman.

Be sure to make a vigorous fight for the Republican candidates for Congress in every district. A Republican Congress is needed to uphold a Republican President.

VOTE YOUR TICKET STRAIGHT. We are on the eve of the most im portant election which has been held in this country since i860. That election was followed by a bloody war in which the lives of thousands were sacrificed on the country’s alter. In the event of the election of the Democratic ticket this year we believe that the injury to the county would equal that which followed the election of i860, when war spread over our beautiful land and drenched the soil with the blood of the flower of the country. War would not be the result of the election, but hunger and want would visit homes where now peace and comfort dwell. We wish to continue to enjoy the good times we now have, and the only way to be assured that prosperity will continue is to stand by the Republican party. We should not try any experiments or indulge any petty spite, as every vote is needed, 'and where any one fails to vote for the Republican candidate that is equiva-

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. The Republican party made no mistake when William Howard Taft was nominated for the presidency. He is a man of the people, his public record is clean and he stands for policies which mean the continued progress of the nation. He is especially well equipped for the presi dency by the experience he has had in the public service. Mr. Taft’s first public office was assistant prosecuting attorney of Hamilton county, Ohio, to which he was appointed in 1881 and from that time he has been continuously a public servant. And he has made good in

every place.

His greatest achievements were in the Philippines, were he initiated a stable governent among the many warring factions and savage tribes, and in Cuba, Panama and Porto Rico, the sober judgement and broad states manship of William How ard Taft have aided in the solution of the many complex racial and religious problems

presented.

The Afro-Americans have a good friend in Mr. Taft He inherited his

open sympathy for the

MR. A. B. HANSON The Recorder takes great pleasure in pre senting the above likeness of Mr. Hanson who so sucsessfully fill the position of private secretary to Capt. W. E. English. He enjoys a large acquaintanceship and his affa ble bearing has made a legion of friends

father, Judge Alphonso Taft, than whom the Afro-American never had a

better friend.

Recently, Mr. Taft was appointed a trustee of the Jeannes Fund for the education of the poor Afro-Americans in the country districts of the South, and his acceptance of the trust is an evidence of his sympathy for the poor and downtrodden.J In his public utterances, William Howard Taft has stated that he stands squarely on the pank in the Republican platform for the enforcement of the war amendments, he has denounc ed lynching in the strongest terms, he has paid high tribue to the race for its great progress in education and industry during the past forty years, and he has expressed his deep sympathy for the sufferings of the AfroAmerican from the contemptuous insults of w’hite men not his equal in intelligence and devotion to duty. When the representatives from the National Baptist Convention recently assured Mr. Taft that the Afro-Amer-icans would continue to support the Republican party, he replied: “When I get into the White House —assuming that I am to be put there —on plea in favor of a Negro will have any less consideration because he is a Negro than if he were a white man. You are Americans as I am. The starry flag that is mine, is yours.”

race from his spect to party.

The judgement sustaining a demurr er to the complaint of George Yanthis and others, as trustees of the Second BapMst church colored;of Indianapolis to recover possesion pf the church building at Michigan and West streets f cm he pastor, Charles H Johnson, and another *>et of trustees who su-po-ted him, wd.8 reversed by the Ap- , psliate >'ourt. Johnson was support1 ed bv a decided majority of the congregation, but the court holds that the c r mrch belongs to the minority if ( the facts s ated in the complaint are ! true. !* I’be complaint charged the pastor 1 with having been guilty of immoral eondref, for which he was convicted and fine; averred that he was frequent ly guily of intoxication, assult and battery and profanity, of refusing to pay bis just debts, and of lefusing to ouey the church discipline. It. futher alleged that he had declared he would stay “in the face of hell” until he died; that he had caused the church to be suspended from the Baptist Association by reason of bis immorality; had caused the arrest of members of his congregation on faLe and unfjunded charges, and been gmlity of otner immoral and sUful conduct. Having also set out the high standard of morality and good conduct commanded by the church discipline on the part of both pastor and trustees, the conoplaint charged that Johnson had forfeited his pastorship by his misconduct, and that the other def. nd ants had abdicate their officers as church trustees and deposed them selves by supporting him therein, und that plaintiffs had been elected to take their places. Judge Roby said: ‘‘Civil courts can not determine questions of a purely ecclesiastical natue. *** Thequestlon upon which this congregation divide^ itself, however, is not an abs ract doctrinal question of creed or mode of worships, but it is one which has to do with theconduct of its members viewed from the standpoint of Christian morali y, one of the first essentials of the Christian religion in the presnt age, a high moral standard enjoined bv the constitution of this church. * * * If the tacts alleged are ttue, the Rev Charles H Johnson and a mr j >rity of the members of said
