GEORGE PEDDY FOR U. S. SENATOR.
The Informer has been interrogated by qiite a number of our
citizens regarding the wisdom of the colored wters taking sides in
the senatorial race between George E. B. Pqidy and Earle May-
field.
Some contend that, since it is a fight between two factions of
democrats, colored voters should be neutral

(Fourteen Months With U. S. Army, Camp Travis)
Real Americans admire and have the utn >st respect for men
who come out clearly and uncompromisingly in issues, who do not
beat around the bush or straddle the fence.
Two of our lamented presidents, the imi ortal Abraham Lin-
coln and illustrious Theodore Roosevelt, wer outstanding charac-
ters of manliness, backbone, stamina, politic: fortitude and moral
^courage.
They believed in American ideals and ins Rations and opposed
with all the strength at their command all act* and movements cal-
culated to play havoc with their native land.
Candidate Peddy has come out openly and mriservedly for con-
stitutional government as against “invisible empire,” and this
platform is broad enough for all American citizeis to stand on un-
til Shiloh comes.
His opponent says nothing on THE burning isste of the day and
his very silence condemns him before the bar of ptblic opinion and
places him in a very embarrassing and compromising position.
It is impossible to run with the hounds and the hare, neither can
a person go in two opposite directions at the same time.
A centipede is supposed to possess one hundred legs, yet this
feat is impossible of accomplishment by this reptile.
George Peddy is a typical American and comes from that sec-
tion of Texas that has produced some of the, foremost characters
in the history of the state.
He does not believe in temporizing with Wrong nor trying to
palliate unwholesome conditions by merely closing one’s eyes and
refusing to see things as they really are.
Whatever may be his shortcomings, he certainly appeals to The
Informer in his ringing denunciation and bitter arraignment of
those who have arrogated unto themselves certain super-legal au-
thority and would overthrow constituted authorities by both
preaching and practicing the doctrine that “might makes right.”
Peddy stands for the constitution against confusion; for law and
order against anarchy and disorder; for the enforcement and ad-
ministration of the law through orderly processes of legal tribun-
als rather than by the lash, tar, feathers and emasculations; for
principles rather than parties; for issues over and above individu-
sils; for the ballot rather than hullets; for llw fr®«Vom of iA*n#ri-
can citizens to worship God according to their own dictates and
not at the behest of religious zealots and fanatical bigots; for the
free and untrammelled exercise of the ballot by American citizens
without blindly voting the passions and prejudices of a coterie of
self-styled purveyors of morals who have commercialized patriot-
ism, seduced Americanism and raped democracy.
That he consented to lead this protest movement against ex-
isting evils in the erstwhile and professed democratic party in
Texas adds to his credit and stamps him as a man with convictions
and the courage of said convictions, who would rather be a door-
keeper in the house of constitutional government than occupy a
high place in the ranks of the exponents and devotees of the “in-
visible empire.”
Captain George Peddy, world war veteran, is The Informer’s
choice for United States senator from Texas and the cause he
represents and the evils he challenges should commend him to
every colored voter in Texas.

(By GEORGE PEDDY.)
The issue in this campaign is consti-
tutional government against invisible
government.
Before the democratic primaries
were held a Ku Klux Klan primary
was held.
Earle B. Mayfield came out of that
primary the nominee of the Ku Klux
Klan. <
The Ku Klux then entered the demo-
cratic primary, not like, the other dem-
! ocrats, but as a solid block vote.
I This process is known as "boring
from within.’
It is sometimes referred to in the
rural districts as: “if you can't beat
them join them.”
In other words, the Ku Klux Klan
came into the democratic party in a
block and took hold of it and took
charge of it and trotted out their man,
disguised as a democrat.
Now, there are » lot of us old-fash-
I
ioned democrats who don’t like that
sort of thing and we don’t like the Ku
Klux Klan.
We believe in trial by jury; we be-
lieve a man has a right to confront hie
accusers and that he should have an
opportunity to present hla witnesses.
We see no good to come out of cap-
italizing prejudices, stirring religious
intolerance or trying to aaaert, at this
late date, that a man who is foreign-
born cannot be a good American.
The REAL democrats have to be
known as the "independent demo-
crats.” ~-
When we took our position and apoke
in defense of those great fundamental
principles of Americanism, the repub-
licans of Texas joined us and I have
their nomination also.
On such prepositions as these—
which constitute the very bedrock of
our form of government—no party is-
sues exist.
Evidently, this great movement
frightened the opposition and by the
use of a technicality my name was bar-
red from the ballot.
It may or may not be a good tech-
nicality, but it wasn’t just.
It wasn’t equitable.
That matter Is now before the fed-
eral court.
Then some other citizens decided
that since the Mayfield crowd was go-
ing to be so excited about the letter of
the law, they believed they could prove
that Mayfield committed illegal acta in
his campaign expenses and they filed
suit and gathered testimony.
Now, at this late date, Mr. Mayfield
magnanimously offers to join me in a
request to the attorney general to re-
verse himself.
Mayfield had previously said he had
nothing to do with the attorney gen-
eral’s original decision in keeping my
name off the ballot.
I wonder what makes him think that
any request from him would cause the
attorney general to put my name back
on the ballot.
Would It be any more legal to put
it back because Mr. Mayfield agreed to
It looks to me like they overplayed
their power and when they realized
how bitterly the people of Texas re-
sented It they got scared.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC

p*I|B,
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Progress of Prohibition Throughout the
World.
The lesson committee has gr&tnl
tously named this- lesson “World-wide
Prohibition.” Neither the text nor fhe
context directly or Implied, says any-
thing about prohibition as we under-
stand the use of the word. However,
when Messiah shall reign upon the
earth the rum traffic with all other
iniquitous practice* will be abolished.
1. Messiah’s Commission (t. 1).
Be was appointed by the Lord.
God’s plan for the world Is e time of
peace and blessing.
,11. Messiah’s Program (vv. 1, 2).
Messiah's program Is twofold: to
"proclaim the acceptable year of the
Lord, and the day of vengeance of
our God." The careful reading of
Luke 4:18-21 will show that Jesus
suspended reading of this passage at
the comma. In Isaiah 61:2. His first
coming opened up the day of “grace
and the acceptable year of the Lord,”
and His second coming will usher In
"the day of vengeance of our God.”
(B Thess. 1:7-10; cf. Mai. 3:1-3).
L Proclaiming the Acceptable Year
of the Lord (vv. 1, 2). In His ministry
of grace He preached (1) “good tid-
ings to the meek.” “Meek” here
means not only a grace, but a condi-
tion, that Is, those In poverty and
affliction. (2) “Bind up the broken-
hearted.” “Bind np” signifies healing.
(3) “Liberty to the captives.” The
figure of deliverance from the Baby-
lonian captivity is used to describe
deliverance from sin aud death (Heb,
2:15). (4) "Opening of the prison to
them that are bound.” Messiah’s
work was to give deliverance to those
who were enslaved by the conse-
quences of their sins. (5) “The ac-
ceptable year of the Lord.” This
means a space of time In which God
would accept all who repent of their
dwjwd come to Him.
2. Proclaiming the day of vengeance
of God (v. 2). While the day of mercy
Is lengthened out, the time of judg-
ment will surely come. The day of
rvengeance will break upon the world
when the Lord shall be revealed from
heaven (H Thess. 1:7-10). The period
of mercy Is called “year,” while the
period of vengeance Is called “day,”
showing that the period of mercy Is
much longer than the .period of wrath.
III. The Blessing* of Messiah’s
Kingdom (w. 3-9).
L "Comfort all that mourn” (v. 2)
The day of vengeanee will bring Bor-
row to many, but they shall be com
forted when they shall ae* the King
on th* throne.
2. “Give unto them beauty for
aahes” (▼. 8). This peculiarly applies
to Israel.
3. “Oil of Joy for Mourning" (v. 3).
Israel has been mourning for cen-
turies. When the Messiah shall reign
aa King they shall be glad.
4. "Garment of Praise for the Spirit
•f Heaviness” (v. 8). Instead of
wearing the symbol of the burden of
•In they shall be clothed so as to In-
dicate their Joyfulness.
5. "Called Trees of Righteousness”
(t. 8). These trees represent Israel
as planted by God and bearing fruit,
not as reeds bowed dews with sor-
row.
6. "They Shall BnUd the Old
Wastes” (v. 4). Israel shatl return
to their own land and shall rebuild
the city of Jerusalem and the cities
of Judah which Uo waste.
7. “Strangers Shall Stand and Feed
Tour Flocks” (▼. 5). In tbe time of
the kingdom the Gentiles shall render
voluntary service onto Israel ee that
Israel may devote her whole time to
tbe service of God.
8. “Ye Shall Be Named the Priests
of the Lord” (v. 6). God chose Israel
to be tbe priestly nation to represent
Him to the Gentiles.
9. “For Your Shame Ye Shall Have
Double” (v. 7). Instead of the shame
and confusion which Israel has expe-
rienced for centuries she shall have
donble honor and rejoicing.
10. “I Will Direct Their Work, and
Make a Covenant With Them” (w. 8,
8). God will vindicate His people and
cause the Gentiles to see the dirine
favor upon them.
