Governor of the great State of Illinois, and Republican candidate for renomination at the primaries, Tuesday, April 9 and he looks mighty good to his loyal friends and supporters as the successful winner in the present memorable gubernatorial contest. Governor of the great State of Illinois, and Republican candidate for renomination at the primaries, Tuesday, April 9 and he looks mighty good to his loyal friends and supporters as the successful winner in the present memorable gubernatorial contest. HON. ANDREW RUSSEL Andrew Russel, Republican candidate, for State Treasurer of Illinois is a native of this state, and he comes from rugged, old Scotch stock, his father, William Russel, coming with his parents right direct from Glosgow, Scotland, to Morgan county, Ill., in 1834, where in 1853, he was united in marriage to Miss Emily Gallagher, a native of Sangamon county, this state, and the Republican candidate for State Treasurer, was born in Jacksonville, June 17, 1856, the very day on which the National Republican convention was held in Philadelphia, Pa., and which was also the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill. Thus it was quite natural that early in life he adopted the old established principles of the Re- M. HON. ANDREW RUSSEL. Ex-President of the Illinois Bankers' Association—one of the leading business men of this state and Republican candidate for the nomination at the primaries, Tuesday, April 9, for State Treasurer. Vol. XVII HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY publican party and he has ever been one of its strong and unswerving supporters. After receiving his education in the public schools, in the Jacksonville Business College and in Illinois College, Mr. Russel in 1874 became connected with the Jacksonville National Bank. After sixteen years' active service he severed his connection with that institution to become a member of the banking firm of Dunlap, Russel & Company. Two years ago, Mr. Dunlap and Mr. Russel acquired the controlling interest in the Ayers National Bank of Jacksonville and during the present year it will move into its new home, a commodious seventy-story building, a nowcomious construction. When this is done the banking house of Dunlap Russel & Company will be merged into it; thus CHICAGO, APRIL 6, 1912 Hons. Charles S. Deneen and Samuel Alschuler Are Leading Their Republican and Democratic Opponents IN THE RACE FOR THE NOMINATION FOR THE GOVERNORSHIP OF THIS STATE. THE PRESENT GOVERNOR STANDS OUT IN HISTORY AS THE FIRST STATE'S ATTORNEY TO SELECT AN AFBO-AMERICAN AS ONE OF HIS IMPORTANT ASSISTANTS. HE REMOVED SHERIFF DAVIS FROM OFFICE IN ALEXANDER COUNTY FOR PERMITTING A MOB AT CAIBO TO BREAK INTO ITS JAIL AND MOB AND LYNCH A COLORED PRISONER. HE PROMPTLY VETOED THE MEASURE ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THIS STATE IN 1911, WHICH WAS INTENDED TO CURTAIL AND CIRCUMSCRIBE THE RIGHTS AND THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. THIS ONE NOBLE ACT ON THE PART OF GOVERNOR DENEEN HAS ENDEARED HIM TO THE NEWSPAPER OWNERS AND PUBLISHERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. HONS. SAMUEL A. ETTELSON AND MILES J. DEVINE LOOK MIGHTY GOOD AS THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC WINNERS OF THE NOMINATIONS FOR STATE'S ATTORNEY OF COOK COUNTY. It is always eminently just and proper to give every man or public official credit for all the good or no-blede deeds which may be preformed by him, while discharging the duties of the office which he has been elected to by the people. The legislature of this state is 1911, enacted a vicious measure which was intended to curtail and circumscribe the rights and the freedom of the Press; but without the least hesitation Governor Deneen promptly vetoed it, at the same time This holds true in reference to Hon. Charles S. Deneen, who is in the lead as well as Samuel Alschuler against their Republican and Democratic opponents, in the race for the nomination for the governorship of this state, and the Colored voters should be wise for once in their lives and on next Tuesday at the primaries divide up their votes between Messrs. Deneen and Alschuler. For it can easily be re-called by those who are friendly or unfriendly to the present Governor that he stands out in history, as the very first state's attorney of Cook county to have the courage and the back bone to select an Afro-American as one of his important assistants; that F. L. Barnett, honorably served in that capacity for eight years and was kept well to the front at all times—handling an important branch of the work in the state's attorney office, and for this reason alone every progressive Colored Republican in this state should at the primaries this coming Tuesday vote for the re-nomination of Charles S. Deneen for Governor of Illinois. To show that he wanted to adhere to the laws, on becoming Governor of this state, he promptly removed Sheriff Davis of Alexander county for permitting a mob at Cairo to break into jail and mob and lynch a Colored prisoner. making one of the largest and strongest banking institutions in Central Illinois. Mr. Russel is a past president of the Illinois Bankers' Association, has served five terms as treasurer of the city of Jacksonville, for six years was chairman of the State Board of Pardons, for a number of years president of the Jacksonville Library Board, and has held various other positions of honor and trust in his native city. Mr. Russel takes a special interest in all educational matters and in the physical training of young boys and their athletic sports, and probably among the many important offices which he as held there in none in which he takes more pride and pleasure than that of being chairman of the Board of Trustees of Illinois College. There are many things which can be said in favor of Mr. Russel's nomination, not only from a party standpoint, but also from the desire of the people to have an honest, efficient and accommodating official. In the very prime of life Mr. Russel represents a type of manhood that stands for genuineness, honesty and ability—three of the most valuable attributes. The legislature of this state is 1911, enacted a vicious measure which was intended to curtail and circumscribe the rights and the freedom of the Press; but without the least hesitation Governor Deneen promptly vetoed it, at the same time declaring that it would never do to attempt to prevent "newspapers from publishing the full proceedings of courts of record and that by permitting them to publish full accounts of the crimes committed, that in many instances they assisted to uncover and to cach the criminals." This one broad and noble act on the part of Governor Deneen has greatly endeared him to the newspaper owners and publishers, throughout the State of Illinois. Hons. Samuel A. Ettelson and Miles J. Devine, in the closing struggle before the primaries next Tuesday look mighty good as the Republican and the Democratic winners of the nominations for State's Attorney of Cook County. The Republicans in all parts of this city and throughout the county are falling over each other in climbing into the Ettelson band wagon for they want to be with a live and a winning candidate; they will find the name of Samuel A. Ettelson, the second from the top in the Republican column. The wise Democrats and the independent voters in general are rushing into the band wagon of our old and highly esteemed friends Miles J. Devine and we are willing to lay down a little something on his nomination at the primaries, Tuesday, April 9. For two years in the past that is from 1909 to 1911, in a business like manner, he served as State Treasurer and being familiar with all the duties of the office, and being an up-to-date, shrewd business man of long standing and with a reputation for honesty and integrity he will make an ideal State Treasurer. Like his good father who was one of the conductors on the under ground railroad long before the war of the rebellion, Mr. Russel, has always felt very kindly towards worthy Afro-Americans and in many ways he has always been willing to assist them. Therefore for these and for many other reasons, every Colored voter throughout this state, should rally to the support of Mr. Russel, for the nomination for State Treasurer, at the primaries Tuesday, April 9. The Colored Roosevelt Republican League has sent out 2,000 letters endorsing Hon. Lawrence Y. Sherman for U. S. Senator and Col. Theodore Roosevelt for Pres. of the United States. [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie, facing left.

SHERMAN. Prominent in the political affairs of Illinois and Republican candidate to succeed the Hon. Shelby M. Cullom in the United States Senate. Hon. James A. Rose, the present, efficient secretary of State and Republican candidate for renomination for the same office Tuesday, April 9, has made such a splendid record that he needs no long introduction to the people of Illinois. The following figures show the amount of money that has been received and paid into the office of the State Treasury, since he became secretary of state, from the beginning of his honest administration down to September 30, 1911, total $5,540,588.35. Received by all his predecessors in office since the adoption of the Constitution in 1870 $522,950.32. Office Self Sustaining by More Than HON. LAWRENCE Y. SHERMAN. As the fireless, gingerless, sapless campaign of Senator Shelby M. Cullom progresses, it becomes more and more evident that he is too old a man either to fight for or to hold a great public office. No.27 A. ROSE. Estate and Republican candidate for sday, April 9, for the same position. Two and a Half Million Dollars. The fees paid into the State Treasury by James A. Rose during his administration have been sufficient to pay the salaries of himself and all his employees, also all expenses of printing, binding, paper and stationery for all State Officers and State Boards, and still leave in the State Treasury, $2,862,980.88, a sum amply sufficient to pay the salaries and office expenses of all the other six elective State Officers. It is almost needless to say that James A. Rose, will be renominated at the primaries, Tuesday, April 9, and be re-elected to his same position at the state election next November. Without rancor or brutality it must be pointed out as a cold fact that the election of an 83-year-old statesman to a six-year term of office means that there will almost certainly have to be another election before that term is up.

Those of us who do, even if we be as exceptional as the late John Bigelow, find that the eighth decade is the season for retirement and ease rather than for active contention with younger men bent on the decision of ‘great issues. Mr. Collum should not have to be told this. That he does have to be told it is as convincing an evidence as anything else that he does not re- tain that keenness of perception, that practical common sense, that were his in his younger days. Nobody likes to bring such a mes- Sage to a fellow being. But there are in a United States senatorship from this great state larger issues than the personal feeling of any one man or set of men. Senator Cullom is too old to have any right to seek re-election. This must be said “right out” jand re-said constantly until the election is held by the General As- sembly.

CAPT. WILLIAM P. CLANCY. Capt. William P. Clancy, Democratic candidate for Congressman, 3rd Congressional district, is a man of the common people. He knows their wants and needs, and as an evidence of this fact his platform, which follows, contains the right ring: "I favor, 1. Laws for the greatest good for the greatest number. 2. No tariff on the necessities of life, but to the limit on luxuries. 3. Cheaper living and lower prices for the necessities of life by placing with government assistance the surplus families of the cities on government land, of which millions of acres are left. The government can build houses, supply farming implements, seed, provisions, etc., for a year or two, and 160 acres of land to each of a million families, charge them 2 per cent. for the money. By arrangement with the various States millions more of such land can be secured for the poor. They would thus be producers as well as consumers.

Allegiance to the principles of the Democratic Party and then SOME. National aid to industrial and agricultural education for the masses. 9. Anything that is good for Chicago."

He is thoroughly convinced that the Republican party in this state sadly need some new timber on its state ticket, and there is no question about it, but what he will poll a tremendous large vote for the office of Secretary of State, Tuesday, April 9. 1910 all other places of public accomodation and amusement, subject only to the conditions and limitation established by law and applicable alike to all citizens, nor shall there be any discrimination on account of race or color in the price to be charged and paid for lots in any cemetery or place for burying the dead, but the price to be charged and paid for lots in any cemetery or place for burying the dead shall be applicable alike to all citizens of every race and color. Passed by both houses and signed by Governor Charles S. Deneen. This bill, as amended, makes it unlawful for the owners or managers of cemeteries, to discriminate in the price of graves, against anyone on account of their race or nationality, and as Mr. Hrubec, supported this measure, every Afro-American voter in the 4th Senatorial district should on Tuesday, April 9, at the primaries record his vote in favor of the re-nomination and re-election of Mr. Hrubec. DEATH OF EMANUEL JACKSON Wednesday afternoon, April 3, at 2:20 o'clock, Emanuel Jackson, who was engaged for many years in the undertaking business at 2959 and 2961 State street, and also in Pittsburgh, Pa., passed away after a severe spell of sickness. Mr. Jackson was well onto 70 years of age, and he was one of the progressive business men of the two cities mentioned above. Thursday evening his remains were shipped to Pittsburgh, Pa., where the funeral services will be held and where they will be laid to rest by the side of the other members of his family. Daniel M. and Charles Jackson, two of his sons in Chicago, survive --- THE MASTER OF THE GUN MAJ ROBERT R. JACKSON Major Robert R. Jackson, was born in Chicago, Sept. 1, 1870, and he is a product of the public schools of this city. Thirty years ago he sold newspapers on the corner of Harrison and State streets and took care of his grandmother for 15 years. Entered the Government service in December 1888 and served in the Post Office Department for 21 years. Resigned after attaining the title of assistant superintendent of Armour station, which position he held with honor and credit to the race for twelve years. He organized The Fraternal Printing Co. after leaving the service and now employs 12 men of his own race. During his career in the Post Office he had appointed 127 Colored men and boys as clerks, carriers, janitors and special delivery messengers and recommended and had increased the salaries of 124 more. He has secured more than one hundred positions for his fellowmen on such railroads as the Pennsylvania, Santa Fe, Monon and in the Pullman service. He assisted in securing the appointment of Policeman W. F. Childs as a sergeant on the police force. He and Hon. E. D. Green were successful in having the Pythian Temple located in Chicago which will be built next AN AROUSING CAMPAIGN IS NOW BEING MADE FOR OUR CANDIDATE, BEUAREGARD FRITZ MOSELEY The week just closed has witnessed a great activity on the part of the voters of Cook County and especially the Colored voters, who are determined to nominate one of their number for County Commissioner, on Y [Name not visible in the image] HON.

In the recent Y. M. C. A. movement he took an active part, raising in subscriptions about $1,000 and subscribed $100 as his share. The Major has been a member of the 8th Regiment and the Illinois National Guard for 20 years and fought in the Spanish-American War. It is the ambition of his military life to see his regiment in a home of their own that will be built on 35th St., near Cottage Grove Ave. From a newsboy to a tax payer is his record. The following organizations show him to be a member in good standing: Prince Hall Lodge, No. 52, A. F. & A. M.; Eureka Chapter, R. A.

It is conceded by all that the possibilities of nominating the Colored man is in concentration and as Mr. Moseley is backed by several forces and is favorably known his chances are bright, and every man is urged to put his shoulder to the wheel and his pen to the circle opposite his name on Primary Day and nominate him. ```markdown ``` ation at the primaries, Tuesday, April of Illinois from the 1st Senatorial THE NAME OF SENATOR SAMUEL A.

PRIMARIES TUESDAY, APRIL 9TH EDWARD D. GREEN. We desire to call attention to the guerilla tactics conducted along lines against the rules of civilized political warfare by a number of small bore, snappish, biting politicians living in the First Senatorial District. In their efforts to defeat Edward D. Green for the nomination they are waging a campaign of vituperation, slander, falsehood and abuse. They brazenly and openly state they intend to do anything to beat him. They have done and said everything that is wrong. Just how far they will go and what they will do next we are not prepared to state. But this we do know, their reprehensible conduct would be laughable to an extreme degree were it not for the serious side of it i. e., the injury they are trying to do the race. So that all will understand we desire to state there are two Republican representatives to be elected from this district. For the past thirty years it has been the rule to send to Springfield one white and one Colored representative. In this campaign, much to our regret we find four Colored and two white men running for the nomination, and only two can be nominated. These men are urging the voters—brought about by their own selfish motives—to defeat Mr. Green. He has the support of the regular party organization in his district. The other men are running as independents or as candidates of a small factional minority. This makes Mr. Green, in our judgement, not only the leading but the strongest candidate. If he is beaten we lose our Colored representative and two white men will go from this district instead of one white and one Colored. Every time you take a vote from him, dividing with the other candidates, you give a vote to Sherley High, the independent candidate. This is common sense and it is clear. So let every voter in this district on April 9th, vote for Green, for he deserves to be nominated on his record. The Legislative Voters' League and the daily papers a few weeks since gave him their approval. Let us not forget what was said about him in the Tribune, and other papers, to-wit,—"His record as a representative was good; in the House of Representatives he was a level headed man above average intelligence; good sense of human values and loyal to his race and should be renominated." This organization will bring another indorsement commending him to the voters of his district, white and Colored. He will also have an indorsement from the American Federation of Labor and other powerful organizations of large political influence. His opponents tried to get these indorsements but failed. If strong organizations like the ones mentioned approve his record, why shouldn't we? For the first time in its history the American Federation of Labor, which controls the Labor organizations of this county, has endorsed a Colored man in the person of Mr. Green because they think he deserves their assistance for work done in behalf of legislation in the interest of Labor. Now let us remember the good work he has done in behalf of his own race. The Anti-Mob law, suppressing mob violence; holding counties liable and making it possible to remove sheriffs for failure to do their duty; amendments to the Civil Rights Bill preventing discrimination in the price of burial lots and graves in cemeteries. This became valid and in full force July 1st of last year. Through this amendment we now bury at Oakwood and other cemeteries without discrimination in prices. At the closing hours of the last session he worked through the House a $100,000 appropriation for the 8th Regiment to build a new armory. He stopped the enactment and legislation that had for its purpose removal of porters from trains and substituting brakemen, as set forth in the Full Train Crew Bill. A like law is in operation in California and Colorado and would have become a law in Illinois lad not Mr. Green blocked it. The Recall, the Initiative and Referendum, the Constitutional Convention and other objectional legislation was opposed by him and beaten. With all due respect to the other candidates we desire to emphasize the fact that Mr. Green is needed in Springfield this coming session because of his experience and the friends he has made. He is also needed to block the Hyde park Protective Association from having enacted a special law (working a repeal of the old law) establishing separate schools, for white and Colored children throughout the State of Illinois. You can understand and see now why we need an experienced man to represent our interests all through the next session of the General Assembly. The crisis we are now going through calls for a man, when he gets up to it, we are satisfied can and will know how to do the work. So on next Tuesday vote for Edward D. Green. AGENTS WANTED.
