Victory Claimed for Dr. Edwards
MANAGER SAYS DR. EDWARDS WILL WIN LEGISLATURE NOMINATION Claims Warley Promised To Take Lee Brown Out Of Race By Dr. G. D. Smith From the demonstration of the crowds at the various meetings it seems to be a certain victory for Dr. Edwards regardless of the number of candidates who are in the [field?] for the same office. At 12th and Walnut on Tuesday night there was a wonderful demonstration of his gain throughout this district. The leading citizens who seemed first to be supporters of Lee L. Brown have changed and are throwing their support to Dr. Edwards. If the colored voters fail to put over a colored candidate in this district it will be due to the supporters of Lee L. Brown and the Louisville News. Mr. Warley at a meeting two weeks ago of the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Club made a promise to Dr. Edwards that if he could produce good evidence that he was stronger than Mr. Lee L. Brown that he would throw his support to him. Dr. Edwards had Mr. Warley to come to his office and  he produced the evidence, showed him pledge cards more than two thousand, pledges from both white and colored in this district and still he fails to withdraw his support from Mr. Lee L. Brown and support Dr. Edwards. Mr. Warley has always claimed to be a race man and climed that his paper is a race paper. If his support to Mr. Brown causes the failure of the colored voters of the 58th District to put over a colored candidate for the legislature it will show plainly that he is not a race man and is only boosting for selfish motive. I have discussed the matter with Mr. Lee L. Brown and several others and they feel that we ought to support the stronger candidate and it has been shown conclusively that Dr. Edwards was the strongest in every respect. I wish to make it plain to the public that my interest in the campaign has been for no personal gain whatever only for the good of the race as I feel that we should as colored voters, 90 per cent of the 58th District should send a colored man to the legislature to represent us instead of sending a white man. Furthermore, the white man is inferior to either Mr. Brown or Dr. Edwards and I understand that he has not been a friend to the colored people in this district or anywhere else as the Ryans were and I can't see why any of the colored voters would support a white man who is inferior to our colored candidates and who has shown no favors to the colored man. We are doing our best to put men in office, let them be black or white who will do the most good for our people. I wish to make it plain that I do not desire to make any enemies between the supporters of Mr. Brown and Dr. Edwards. In selecting a candidate for this district I felt that Dr. Edwards was superior to any colored voter in this district knowing his relation with various classes of people, both white and colored in the West, North and South. I felt that he was a better man to represent us at Frankfort in the Legislature. In the closing of the campaign I wish to urge all of the voters to vote and use their influence for Dr. Ed wards the representative for the 58th Legislative District because I feel in (Continued on Page 8)

Mrs. Grimes Brings Suit
MRS. GRIMES SUES FOR $20,000 Holds White Woman Owner Of Car In Which Husband Was Killed Responsible Mrs. Olivia Grimes, widow of Mr. William M. Grimes, well-known citizen and hotel man who was instantly killed in an automobile accident July 16, told a Leader representative this week that the news dispatch stating that she had filed suit against Mrs. Geneva Sandusky Dunham of Washington, D. C., owner of the car in which Mr. Grimes was killed, is true. Mr. Grimes who lived at 2311 W. Chestnut Street and had been a bell-man at the Seelbach for 23 years had been invited by Mrs. Dunham to accompany her chauffeur, Roosevelt, to Dawson Springs at her expense, says the report. Mr. Grimes being badly in need of the rest accepted and was enroute to the Springs with the chauffeur when the car went over an embankment about 18 miles from Owensboro. Mrs. Dunham had made the trip to Dawson Springs by train when the accident occurred and from there went to the scene and looked after Mr. Grime's remains. Mrs. Grimes charges in her suit that the "gross negligence and carelessness" of Mrs. Dunham's chauffeur caused the death of Mr. Grimes that she was owner of the car in which he was killed and that the driver of the car was her chauffeur, the car being managed and controlled by her agent.

FOX'S RECORD AS JUDGE MADE PUBLIC. HIS RE-ELECTION IS URGED. [photo] Judge Henry I. Fox. SAYS HE SHOULD HAVE SUPPORT OF ALL COLORED PEOPLE. The Record of No Public Official Compare With That Of Judge Fox, Says Adams. By Joseph D. Adams. In the interest of justice and fair play to our people, I call your attention to the most wonderful information in record forms, a commendable attitude of a most worthy official toward helping the progress of our race in the future. There is no record in the whole country that will compare with that of this fearless public officer, our Honorable Judge Henry I. Fox. FIRST: He has six colored employees in his department. SECOND: He stands for no segregation in his department. THIRD: He has a colored woman as public stenographer; the only one that has ever been in the State of Kentucky. FOURTH: St. Louis, has only two colored employees in the Juvenile Court. Philadelphia, has only three; Baltimore has only one; New Orleans, has only one; Mobile and Montgomery, Nashville and Memphis, Hot Springs and Little Rock, have colored people serving as janitors only. This is an official record. Now if you don't vote in the primary for Judge Henry I. Fox and urge your friends to do likewise, this is just what will happen: You will be responsible for rooting up the first plant of justice and freedom in the political garden of Louisville and Jefferson County. Judge Henry I. Fox has planted the first seed and nursed and weeded it carefully and now he presents it to your in healthy form. Now show the world that you are a worthy gardener and will appreciate this plant which will nourish the race for years and years to come. Prof. A. E. Meyzeck and Dr. J.A.C. Lattimore visited the department (Continued on page 8)
SCHOOL CHILDREN'S CAMPAIGN STARTS[;?] NAMES AND FREE VOTES [PUBLISHED?] The Leader's School Childrens' Subscription Campaign is on. Working material was mailed out to reach those whose entrance blanks had been received up to the day before the campaign began, Thursday August 1, and by this time the boys and girls are beginning to get busy. It is no surprise that the campaign has met popular favor with the school children notwithstanding the fact that the fact that the Leader's big automobile campaign has recently closed, because no paper has offered so liberal an opportunity for boys and girls who go to school to help their parents buy school books and then have a few dollars left over to buy other things. The Leader is giving ten prizes [ranging?] from $25 down to$1.00 to the ten [boys?] and girls who report the largest number of votes from one, three, six months and one year subscriptions during the period of the campaign from August 1, to September 2.
