Find out where each candidate stands on these anti-Negro bills and the antiintermarriage bill and act accordingly.” In pursuance of the foregoing the league hereby publicly asks what the attitude of congressional candidates will be, if elected, on the matters above referred to. Will you, if elected, seek to prevail upon the secretary of the treasury and the postmastei*genera] to abolish such segregation of colored government employees as has been instituted under them as to rest room, eating, working and toilet facilities? Will you use your Influence, voice and vote against bills to segregate colored clerks and to establish jimcrow /are in the District of Columbia?

bia?
Will you favor the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, •now notoriously nullified in certain states? An early answer will be appreciated. To each of these questions the league requests an answer.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Dr. L. A. Lewis, a promising young physician of the city, opened the ser-: ies of practical talks on last Tuesday : evening to the Senior Gym class. The entire class were very enthusiastic in their praises to Dr. Lewis for his very timely advice in the discussion of “Sex Health.” These lectures w-ill continue each month until spring. From time to time more than a dozen authorities of the medical fraternity will discuss before this class the care and prevention of such diseases and ailments peculiar to physical happiness. Dr. W. E. Brown Vill make the second lecture of the series on Tuesday evening, October 27, discussing coughs, colds and catarrh. The old adage that the “proof is in the eating” can w-ell be linked with the success of the association’s Bible classes. Mr. R. L. Brokenburr as chairman, assisted by a large corps of interested leaders is meeting the demands of the community through the enrollment of a large number of men who have not been previously interested in Bible study work. The opening of the International Sunday school teachers’ class on Thursdayevening, is expected to result in a much needed reform in i the adult leadership of children. This class is opened to both men and women, and will meet each Thursday evening under the able leadership of Rev. H. L. Herod, who desires that all interested parties enroll in the class Mr. W. V. Casey, who has charge of the educational department, has a list of many new and interesting courses for men who are seeking industrial pursuits or academic studies in the night school courses. Mr. M. L. Stevenson has %een secured as instructor in mathefnatics and common English branches, which is now open to both men and boys. Messrs. Leroy Harper, James Wills and Fred Berry complete the staff of instructors in the automobile class. The members of this class will be especially benefited through the long and practical experiences of these men who will be constantly in attendance. There are many new features being planned in interest of the junior department. An organization has been formed among the mothers of the junior members, who will assist and promote in every way possible the general welfare of boys. The associa-
tion endeavors to have at an early date a uniformed boy scout troop in point of efficiency and service unequalled in the middle West. A leader’s corps of fourteen boys have been formed and will assist the secretary in every way possible in promoting the many phases of the work.
MY PLATFORM; The Office of County Treasurer has to do with the proper col ection, safe guajrding and disbursement of about— Five Millions of Dollars Annually of Funds of the Taxpayers It should not be looked irpon as a political office Considerable sums of is trust may be diverted by technical means to iil -advantage of our citizens a faithless or partisan-minded trustee. The tax payer is interested too in being taken advantage of by lax methods of notices, and should receive rever possible, more extended courtesies, such as ought to prevail toward
PAXTON HIBBEN. TROUTBECK, AMENIA, NEW YORK My Dear Hibben: You do not know how difficult it is to refuse your generous invitation to speak for you in Indianapolis. Your answers to the set of questions sent out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are absolutely perfect, and I thank you for sending me the article in the Indianapolis Recorder, in which you state your attitude toward the Negro problem with such fairness and justice. Unless your opponents take a stand as radical and just >as yours, every colored voter in your district should support you at the polls. But despite this fact, I fear that I can not go to Indianapolis to make a public appeal for your support. For years I have devoted myself to the cause of equal rights for the colored people of our country, and those who know me at all know that I have never used my interest in them, my acquaintance with their needs, or my influence with them for any partisan ends, even for so w'orthy a cause as the election of a political candidate like yourself, whom I feel they can im : plicitly trust. I have never appealed to a colored audience to support any one political party, and I can not begin now. I must keep myself free from all entangling alliances, so far as the cause of the colored race is concerned, in order to help that cause more impartially and more effectively. I am a Progressive myself, but I have never asked a single black man to vote for the Progressive party. I am sure you will understand my position and agree that it is right. I have no objection to you printing this letter if you think it will help your cause, but I know my colored friends iu Indianapolis, even those who belong to my party, will agree with me that I ought not to stump your district for you or any one else. Sincerely yours, J. E. SPINGARN. Hon. Paxton Hibben, Indianapolis,
