Father Hall, of Batavia, says: "You can say for me: I am now 90 years old. I have known Samuel Alschuler and his brothers from birth. I shall vote for him." Father Hall is the oldest Colored minister living in America today, and one of the first members of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church. He came to Chicago in 1843, when this city was bounded on the north by Illinois street, on the west by Jefferson street, on the south by Harrison street, and on the east by Michigan avenue. He is now living on his farm in Batavia, which cost him, 40 years ago, $6,000. He is now superannuated, after serving his church for fifty years.

I have watched him very closely ever since. If I had a case at law I would be willing to trust it to his judgment. I could be satisfied that my interests would be well protected. He is the cleanest man I ever met. He, as well as the whole Alschuler family, have been true friends to the Colored people, both by favoring them with employment and helpfulness.

MUCH ACTIVITY AND BITTER FIGHTING IS BEING DISPLAYED BY THE LARGE AND SMALL REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES SEEKING NOMINATIONS AT THE PRIMARIES TUESDAY, APRIL 9TH. Col. Theodore Roosevelt this week received a mighty black eye, in his onward march to the White House—his friends and supporters, thought that all he had to do was to toss "His Big Hat in the Ring" and that everybody would dance to his music, in this they have been sadly disappointed, for after clamoring for a presidential preference primary, it was finally decided to hold one in North Dakota, and when the returns came in from all parts of that cold state, the ex-Rough Riding President, was put out of the running in it by United States Senator Robert M. La Follette, who successfully captured its solid delegation to the Republican national convention and from now on he will fight Messrs. Roosevelt and Taft and all other comers in every state in the Union to the bitter end. It is still our firm opinion, however, that after all the noise and fuss and the dust has blown away, which has and is being kicked up by Col. Roosevelt and others and after the vast majority of the people resume their second sober thought that President William H. Taft, will be renominated at the Chicago convention this coming June.

Watkins, Attorney, assistant corporation counsel and grand attorney of the Colored K. of P.'s of the World, says: "There cannot be any doubt about Mr. Alschuler's friendship to the race. He is one man I know to be on the square with us." Sergeant John Hightower, of the Eighth Illinois National Guards says: "In my judgment, he will be the next Governor of Illinois. He has faith in the ambitious youth, and never fails to recognize the members of our regiment." Edgar J. Baldwin, of Baldwin's Tea and Coffee Wholesale and Retail Company, a progressive Republican, president of one of the largest Negro tea and coffee houses in the world, says: "I know him as a man, and let me say to you, Mr. Washington, underscore the word man, for he is the finest and the squaresest man I ever met.

Each and every speaker was at his best and were warmly received by the large number of Colored and white voters in that section of the new First Ward, who filled every seat in the room. Chairman P. W. Upshaw introduced the speakers in his most happy manner, and during the progress of the meeting Col. Miller, who has always had many true and tried friends among the Afro-American voters in all parts of this city and county, drove his points home to his hearer and judging from the way he was applauded when he finished speaking that he, Thomas M. Hunter, William Hale Thompson, and the other candidates who dealt out some sledge hammer blows against Charles S. Deneen and his machine, would receive the votes of every one who sat under the sound of their voices.

Harlan. Chancellor Pitney hails from New Jersey, and with his splendid legal attainments, it is freely conceded, that he is fully able to shed lusture on the court and to walk in the footsteps of Justice Harlan. Tuesday evening, March 16, Samuel Alschuler, Colored Campaign Committee, L. W. Washington, chairman, held a meeting at the headquarters, 3123 S. State street, and many new members were added to the roll. Samuel Alschuler for Governor looks good to the intelligent and progressive Afro-Americans throughout Illinois.

MOSELEY ENDORSED BY THE ITALIANS AND JEWISH VOTERS OF THE CITY. His Nomination Certain. The campaign is beginning to take on a final dash appearance. Meetings are being held nightly by the various aspirants for the numerous offices, State, County and City, to be filled in the April and November elections next. The large number of names upon the Primary ballot will make it impossible for anyone to cast his vote other than for individuals and herein lies the strength of our candidate, HONORABLE BEAUREGARD F. MOSELEY. The friends of Andra Filpi, candidate for County Commissioner secured Mr. Moseley's endorsement by the Italians of the County, last Sunday, and the Jewish friends of State Senator Ettelson have also endorsed him and as he favorably known among the regular organization workers, and the Lincoln League Workers and being specially endorsed by the Progressives, his chances for success are brighter than those of any other candidate for County Commissioner on the ticket and it behooves every Colored man to cast his vote for him on Primary Day, to the end, that the Race will have, in truth, a representative on the next County Board. PETER H. HARRIS MELVILLE G. HOLDING Mr. Melville G. Holding, the peoples candidate for Alderman of the 32nd ward, is well and favorably known in this city and most especially on the south side, where he has resided for many years. He is a property holder and with his loveable family live in a beautiful home, which he constructed several years ago at 9716 Longwood avenue. In every sense of the word Mr. Holding is an up-to-date business man, for some years he has been the Chicago representative for several extensive plate glass and window glass concerns, and being a man of affairs and at all times approachable he will be an ideal Alderman for all the people residing in the 32nd ward. 1 1910 HON.

HALL. in the highest excellence, while on the other hand, the same law is silent in the protection of Negro womanhood, and unless she consents to drop to concubinage or whoredom in defense of herself or whoredom One month after the scandalous story concerning Mrs. George Cleverland Hall, put in circulation, the Hon. James A. Quinn, a member of Mayor Harrison's official cabinet made a personal investigation to discover whether there was the merest foundation of fact for the contemptible rumor. Mr. Quinn had his interest aroused, first because of his official and intimate relations with Mayor Harrison, secondly, the fact that if the story was true, it was a terrible indictment against the police force inasmuch as the rumor involved the police department to the extent that it would be impossible for a bond to be forfeited at any station house or an arrest smothered without the convivance of the police officials, thirdly, because of his long years of personal acquaintance with the family of Doctor Hall. Mr. Quinn got in touch immediately with every police station in Chicago, had the records searched of all of them from December 1911 to the date of Dr Hall's offer of the reward of the $100 for the name of the person responsible for the lie; also every department store was investigated, as well as their several detective agencies, including the McGuire's, which had been mentioned as the one that made the arrest; Marshall Fields: Carson, Pirie's; Mandell Bros.; Rothschild's; The Fair; Siegel, Cooper's: Boston Store and Hillman's. Now since Officer Artist, who had been given at authority for the statement, denied that he had made or repeated such report, it is up to the next person to say it is true, prove it and obtain the reward offered, which still stands good as to the originator of the rumor or to prove its truth. This statement is made at Mr. Quinn's express request and direction. Now. Next! Before the Police Trial Board on Wednesday under oath officer Artist made his denial of ever in any manner, shape or form, circulating the evil reports referred to. NEGRO WOMAN PROTECTS HER HONOR. Pardoned by Gov. Hooper of Tennessee, After Conviction and Sentence of over Eleven Years. The case of Mrs. Lily Hill of Washington County, Tenn., has been one of intense interest to the Negro citizenship of Tennessee, especially as it touches upon the vital point in the preservation and protection of the home life of that class of citizens. The case particularly should appeal to Negroes, as it is well known that the laws of the Southern States are so framed, as to throw around white women every scintilla of local, county and State authority to preserve her in the highest excellence, while on the other hand, the same law is silent in the protection of Negro womanhood, and unless she consents to drop to concubinage or whoredom, in defense of herself, she is left to the clemency of the governor, as evidenced in this case. The information in the case of Mrs. Lily Hill shows she was convicted last October and sentenced to serve eleven years and twenty-nine days. Her friends nataurally sought the pardoning powers of Tennessee in order to free her. She was recently freed by Governor Hooper, and the opinion of the case as expressed by the Attorney General of Tennessee, should encourage all Negro women everywhere, who are importuned by white men, without protection of law therefrom to go forth and do likewise. The Attorney General's opinion is as follows: "It appears that this Colored woman, (Mrs. Lily Hill), is a respectable and well-behaved married woman, and had been previously molested by the prosecuting witness in the case; that she was assaulted by said prosecutor in a public street because she resented his attentions a second time and when she was pressed by him, drew a pistol from a handbag and shot him in the arm." For these reasons Gov. Hooper justifiably extended pardon. MR. CARNEGIE GIVES AGRIA CULTURAL TROPHY The officers of the American Land and Irrigation Exposition, which was held in New York City last fall, and which is to be held again, November 15 to December 2, 1912, in the 71st Regiment Armory, New York, announces that Mr. Andrew Carnegie has just given a trophy valued at $750.00 to be awarded for the best cotton grown in the United States. Mr. Carnegie makes a special consideration of his award that the Colored people of the country may be permitted to enter, into this competition. The prizes for staple products, to be warded at the coming Exposition, will be the handsomest in the history of the world's agriculture. The Exposition will be open for sixteen days and it is confidently expected that over half a million people will attend. In addition to the prizes already offered, others are as follows: President Stilwell of the Exposition has already donated to the Exposition a $1,000 trophy for the best exhibit of white potatoes; Mr. Horace Havemeyer has given a $1,000 prize cup for the best exhibit of sugar beets, and the Exposition Management will offer a $1,000 prize for the best exhibit of apples—twenty-five boxes of any variety or varieties grown anywhere. The exact terms of the awards and full list of prizes, together with any information regarding the various competitions, will be sent upon application by Mr. Gilbert McClurg, General Manager, the American Land and Irrigation Exposition, Singer Building, New York City. The Colored people are especially urged to enter for the Carnegie trophy for the best cotton grown as Mr. Carnegie desires.—E. J. S.

It is the custom at the State House for the Governor to send all messages to the Legislature by his private secretary, who must be accompanied by the Sergeant-at-Arms. During the eleven years Mr. Reed has been the Executive Messenger, the Secretary to the Council or Governor the stenographer has always been given the honor of bearing these messages when the Secretary to the Governor was not present. On last Wednesday Governor Foss prepared a message to the Legislature on the Public Service Commission. The Secretary being in Washington, the question arose among the attaches of the Governor's office as to who should be the bearer of the message. The Governor came up while the subject was under discussion and immediately cut another Republican colorline by deciding that Mr. W. L. Reed was the proper person to take the message from the Governor to the Legislature, accompanied by the Sergeant-at-Arms with his mace and badge of office.—The Guardian, Boston, Mass., March 16.

In case Senator Ettelson should be successful in his candidacy and election to the office of State's Attorney the Colored People will have an official in a special department of the County wherein much can be done for the unfortunate Negro criminal who might be "railroaded to the pen," indicted or convicted on slight evidence and often on account of Turning aside to the more generally important office of State's Attorney, the Colored people are privileged to take advantage of the situation in the first analysis presented Ever since he has been in public office, State Senator Samuel A. Ettelson has always lent his influence and best efforts to any measure or measures in the interest of the Colored people. This feeling on the part of the Senator is born of his long association among them and his advent into public life through them and their leaders. Some very warm almost indissoluble ties exist between Mr. Ettelson and Negro leaders, and though such an alliance has been at times costly to the Senator and has, at times, embarrassed him, he has nevertheless, proved true to the people in which he takes so much interest. Insulted on the floor of the Senate because of his defense of the rights of the Negro, he has stood Gibralter-like and never flinched. Picture him, white with rage, restrained by rules of parliamentary courtesy, being charged by a fellow-senator as "The Nigro Senator from the Third District." Such a one is Samuel A.

Some prejudiced persons are pleased to quote criminal statistics in this count which show a deplorable state of affairs as regards Negro criminals, and are thus wholly unjust, for, as suggested, many Negroes are charged with crime and the statistical figure remain the same whether indictments are denied or acquittals follow. Consider well his support of legislation calculated to do away with such plays as the "Clansman" and his uniting efforts in behalf of the appropriation secured for the Eighth regiment, and arouse yourselves, Colored voters, in behalf of this fearless young man and give him the largest vote you possibly can. The race owes him a debt of gratitude. The Colored people of Cook County therefore, would do wisely, and they are earnestly admonished to do so, to support Mr. Ettelson's candidacy and get their voting acquaintances to do likewise.

A banquet was tendered Professor Charles Alexander, the noted pub- lisher of Boston, Mass. at the 20th Century Cafe, 3132 State street, on Monday evening, March 18th. Pro- fessor Alexander is visiting Chicago im the interest of the National Relig- ious Training School located at Dur- ham, North Carolina, of which Dr. James E. Shepard is president. The following gentlemen were present: Mr. Charles S. Steinmann, A. Bailey Williams, M. D.; Charles H. Taylor, D. H. Anderson, M. D.; Wil- liam H. Clark, A. Wilberforce Wil- Tams, M.D; W. L.

Maxwell, Asa C. Barnes, M. D5; Prof. Charles Alexander, Walter Mergerson, E. J. Van Allen Dorsey and George P. Smith. Aside from the object of these gentlemen to meet Mr. Alexander, who is on his way to California in an educational campaign, they also were called together to hear an address from Mr. William L. Barth who is managing the Los Pinos Farms near San Cristobal, in Cuba. Several of the gentlemen present had visited this splendid tract of land and bore testimony as to its value for agri- cultural purposes. After the ban- quet was served, which - reflected credit upon the management of the Cafe, Mr. Charles A. Griffin, was in- troduced in becoming remarks by the toastmaster, Mr. Robert W. Max- well. Mr. Griffin has but recently returned from Cuba and in his brief address gave a running sketch of the trip from Chicago to the Los Pinos Farms. What he had to say was intensely interesting and held the at- tention of all of the gentlemen pres- ent. Following Mr. Griffin was Mr. Charles B. Travis who also testified to the importance of investing in Cuba land. Mr. Travis visited Cuba a few months ago. Next the toast- master introduced Mr. Leonard Shaw who accompanied Mr. Griffin to Cuba. Mr. Shaw gave a brief ac- count of his trip. He proved himself well informed concerning the possi- Dilities of the Island. At this point Professor Alexander, who spent a while in Cuba during the month of August last year, was introduced. After telling a very funny story which created considerable laughter and applause, Mr. Alexander urged that Cuba is really the future hope of those ambitious Colored men and women who really are seeking a home where there is no “Color line” and where the possibilities of mak- ‘mg an independent living are greater than in any other country. He said that he was convinced that the land comprising the ten thousand acres of Los Pinos Farms ic 4s rich and fer- tile as any land in the Island of Cuba. He made a very favorable impression and many of the gentlemen after- ward signified their intention of in- teresting themselves in the proposi- tion, The toastmaster then intro- duced Mr. William L. Barth, the Principal speaker of the occasion. Mr. Barth showed his intimate ac- ‘Waintance with the present status of affairs in Cuba and evinced a knowl- *dge of economic and political con- sitions in other countries as well. He expressed the hope that in a short while the Island of Caba would become one of the posstssions of the United States and in that event the increase of land values would be encrmous. He gave valuable statis- tics concerning the cultivation and aa of tobacco, mangos, Avocado ears, as well as truck products. Mr. Barth's address was received with hearty applause and. marked fa- Yor and the gentlemen present even aiter the party was disbanded, were found in groups discussing the futare Possibilities of the Island of Cuba, and wane the cts 1 ee for which the gentlemen were called together to consider was very favor- ably received.

Executive Body of A. M. E. Church Showroom With Requests For Aid Shewder With Requests For Aid. At the semiannual meeting of the council of bishops recently held in Baltimore the Rev. M. M. Penton, president of Campbell college, Jackson, Miss, accompanied by a delegation of ministers from his state, presented the needs of the institution to the council. As the college is largely supported by the farmers of the state and in view of the fact that their crops were partially destroyed by the boll weevil last year, President Penton urged that the council recommend to the general conference a substantial appropriation for the school to the end that the work of educating the masses of young men and women in that particular section of the south might not suffer for want of funds to meet current expenses. Bishop C. T. Shaffer was selected to deliver the quadrennial sermon at the opening session of the general lawmaking body of the denomination at the general conference in May. The quadrennial address to the church as a whole is being prepared by Bishop C. S. Smith, who has charge of the work of the A. M. E. church of Georgia. The bishops also heard a plea from a number of ministers of the Baltimore conference asking that they recommend that the general conference make an appropriation to aid Bethel church, Baltimore, of which the Rev. Dr. D. G. Hill is pastor. The church was bought over a year ago for $90,000. AMBITION OF M. Q. CELE. Hampton's Zulu Student Prepares For Return to "Fatherland." At the Brooklyn meeting held under the auspices of the Armstrong association, in the interest of Hampton institute, on Thursday evening, Feb. 29, Madikane Quandiyane Cele, a Zulu student who finished the wheelwrighting trade at Hampton institute in May, 1911, told briefly the interesting story of his life in South Africa and America. "My father," he said, "was a governor under the king of the Zulus until the white missionaries landed there. He spent six years with the missionaries and then went back to work among his own people. "I grew up, as most Zulu boys do, watching my father's herds until I be- ```markdown ``` MADIKANE Q ORLE. came a large boy and began to join in sports such as hunting, playing at war and idling away all of the time." Cele studied for two years in a South African missionary school and finished the blue Zulu spelling book. He further pursued his studies and, through his uncle, Rev. John L. Dube, came to America. At the Slater school in Winston-Salem, N. C., he came in touch with two Hampton teachers. He concluded that 'Hampton's training was just what he needed for his work in Zululand. Realizing that his people needed to know how to build good wagons, Cele took wheelwrighting and special work in blacksmithing in the Hampton Institute Trade school. Cele plans to return to the forgotten children of South Africa and carry them the blessings which he has received at the Hampton school. Rev. Dr. Joshua Jones For Bishop Dr. Jones was educated at Claffin, Howard and Wilberforce universities and has also served as president of the latter well known school. He is regarded as one of the leading pulpit orators in the country. Professorship For Coleridge-Taylor. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the eminent composer of African-English extraction, has recently been elected principal professor of musical composition in the Guildhall School of Music, in London. He is also the conductor for the noted Handel society, in London, and is highly regarded by the music loving public.

"Well, Tommy," greeted the old gentleman, "how are you today?" "Very well, sir," responded the smart child shyly. "And do you ever think what you are going to be when you are a great big man?" "N-no, sir." "Ah, I knew it! Children are so shiffthese times. And why don't you give it any thought?" "Because I am a little girl, sir."
