M. B.
HON. ANDREW RUSSEL.
The successful banker; high class business man; long and steadfast friend of the Colored race and Republican candidate for State Treasurer of Illinois.
Andrew Russel, candidate of the Republican party for Treasurer of Illinois, was born in Jacksonville, Illinois, on June 17th, 1856, and has spent all his busy life in this state. After receiving his education at the public schools and at Illinois College, Mr. Russel began a successful business career in 1874 as a book-keeper in the Jacksonville National Bank. He has been in the banking business ever since, and is now Vice-President of the Ayers National Bank of Jacksonville.
Mr. Russel has always been found to be clean, careful and unprejudiced, standing fearless for justice to all men, and particularly interested in the moral, social and industrial uplift and advancement of the Colored race.
He is not a stranger to the voters of Illinois, having filled the office of State Treasurer from 1908 to 1910 to the entire satisfaction of the people. He gave the office his careful and personal attention, and during his term increased the net profits to the state almost 100 per cent. He is presented to the voters with entire confidence in his fitness, and there ought not to be the slighest doubt about his election.—Adv't.

A LITTLE BRAINLESS GIMLET-HEADED ALDERMAN WHO WAS ELECTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE TWENTY FIRST WARD BY THE AID OF ITS COLORED VOTERS.
INTRODUCED AND HAD PASSED BY THAT BODY A RESOLUTION CALLING ON MAYOR HARRISON TO REVOKE THE SALOON LICENSE OF THE WORLD'S CHAMPION.
THIS LITTLE NAMELESS DEMOCRATIC ALDERMAN WHO HALES FROM THE SOUTH DOES NOT POSSESS SENSE ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT HE WAS SLAPPING AT A DEMOCRATIC CITY ADMINISTRATION.
MANY OF THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE AFRO-AMERICAN CITIZENS MET AT THE APPOMATTOX CLUB WEDNESDAY EVENING.
JACK JOHNSON BEING PRESENT EMPHATICALLY AND UNQUALIFIEDLY DENIED THAT HE HAD EVER GAVE EXPRESSION TO THE STATEMENT THAT HE COULD BUY WITH HIS MONEY OR GET ANY WHITE WOMAN HE WANTED OR MAKING ANY STATEMENT AT THAT TIME REFLECTING UPON THE WOMANHOOD OF ANY RACE.
THAT THAT BARE-PACED LIE WAS MANUFACTURED OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH BY SOME OF THE DAILY NEWSPAPERS IN THIS CITY FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF STIRRING UP RACE PREJUDICE BETWEEN THE RACES IN CHICAGO AND UNSETTLING THE FRIENDLY RELATIONS EXISTING BETWEEN THEM.
JOSEPH LEVY A MEMBER OF THE WHITE RACE HEARD EVERY WORD OF THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN MRS. CAMERON AND MR. JOHNSON AT THAT TIME AND HE CORROBORATED HIS STATEMENT.
CHAIRMAN BEAUREGARD F. MOSELY SELECTED, LOUIS B. ANDERSON DR. GEORGE C. HALL, EDWARD H. WRIGHT, JULIUS F. TAYLOR AND GEORGE W. ELLIS TO PREPARE A STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC ON THE JOHNSON EPISODE.
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SENT TO THE MAT BY CHAMPION JACK WHO DECLARED: "THAT THE GREAT WIZARD OF TUSKEGEE WAS BEATEN UP IN NEW YORK CITY FOR PEEPING INTO THE WRONG KEYHOLE AND ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE WRONG FLAT OCCUPIED BY A WHITE LADY.
It is not our intention, of elaborating in every particular, on all the phases of the supposed troubles of Mrs. F. Cameron-Falconet, of Minneapolis, Minn., and her easy attempt, to secure or rescue, her daughter Lucile Cameron, from the custody as she calls it, of John Arthur Johnson, the heavy weight prize fighter of the world, and her appeal to the White portion of the United States, to aid her to protect her daughter and to prevent her from permanently falling down or forward under his evil influences.
daily press, since coming to this city to reside; she has attended high wine suppers and banquets at the Hotel Sherman in a party or parties of ten to twenty-five prominent and rich White men of this city, no Negro being present even as a waiter.
The daily papers refused to publish or at least they did not publish, the names of these prominent and rich White men, who put on the high wine supper stunt, presumedly for the purpose of calling on them to shake them down for large sums of money in order to
It has never occurred to Mrs. Cameron, that there are three classes of people in this country and only three who have absolute protection; namely, White women, whether their characters are good or bad. White men and Colored women in the Southern states and other sections of the country who consort with White men; not with the honorable intention of marrying; but simply to satisfy their beastly passions. These three classes of Americans are supreme under the laws of the land. For White women will shoot White men down in cold blood, on the slightest provocation. Then they are set at liberty by the courts and become the reigning queens of society and White men, are ever ready, to redden their hands in the blood of any Negro, who attempts to wink at any White woman; it makes not the slightest difference how low she may be, in the scale of humanity and to end the life of any and every Negro, who attempts to associate with Colored women, that he desires to appropriate unto himself.
This is his idea of fairness and justice in America. In the case of Miss Lucele Cameron, being of age; she was in a position to protect herself from the advances of any and all men, if she had even been compelled to do so at the point of a revolver and the law would have upheld her in every way, in defending her virtue and honor. Nothing will be said in these columns at this time, in relation to her pure or unpure character; but according to the
daily press, since coming to this city to reside; she has attended high wine suppers and banquets at the Hotel Sherman in a party or parties of ten to twenty-five prominent and rich White men of this city, no Negro being present even as a waiter.
The daily papers refused to publish or at least they did not publish, the names of these prominent and rich White men, who put on the high wine supper stunt, presumedly for the purpose of calling on them to shake them down for large sums of money in order to help to grease the machinery of their respective newspapers.
It appears that Miss Cameron, for several months resided at the Brevoort Hotel, which is a very expensive place to tarry in; and not being wealthy herself and seemingly not being employed at that time; it is hard for us to understand, how a beautiful young girl as she is claimed to be, could put on so much style, and wear the finest and the most expensive duds; unless some one was putting up the money for her and who ever put it up, it was for no honorable purpose.
It further appears, that Miss Cameron, since becoming a resident of Chicago, has possessed an inelination to associate, not with the staid and pure minded class or members of her own race; but rather with its sporty element, and those who belong and frequent what is known as the "Under World", unmistakeably proving that she is not a purified or White winged angel by any means, and according to our way of thinking, spotting men and women Black or Whites are all on the same level, and there is not a particle of difference, between them.
In view of all the foregoing it does seem to us that Mrs. Cameron displayed mighty peer judgment in adhering to the mad and wild method she resorted to in order to hold the weakness of her
JAMES T. MC DERMQTT
Democratic candidate for re-election to congress from the Fourth Congressional District
WALTER E. SCHMIDT.
Member of the Board of Assessors, a Friend of the Small Tax-payers and Republican Candidate for Re-election to the Position He Occupies at the Present Time.
At the congressional election in 1906 after a spirited contest, with Charles Wharton, the Hon. James T. McDermott, was elected to congress from the fourth congressional district. He was re-elected in 1908 and in 1910, each time with increased majorities, showing that he stands high in the estimation of the voters in his district, regardless of their race, color or nationality and that a large number of independent and progressive Republicans at each election, record their votes in his favor, feeling that he is plenty good enough, to represent them in the halls of Congress.
Congressman McDermott, not with any brass bands, in the past, diligently labored in Congress for the best interest of all the people, in his district, the six years that he has so faithfully
No. 4
served them. This fact was largely manifested at the contest at the primaries last April.
At that time with two opponents in the field, he ran in under the wire away ahead of both of them, with a good healthy majority at his back.
Congressman McDermott, who always talks keen, sharp and right to the point; has in many ways in the past both in and out of Congress, shown his friendship for the Colored race, and we take much pleasure in stating, that many Afro-American voters in the Fourth Congressional district, as many of them supported him at the primaries; will on Tuesday, November 5th, assist, to re-elect him to Congress for the fourth term from the Fourth Congressional district, of Illinois.-Advt.

Concluded from page 1.
daughter in making love to a Colored
‘man, up to the entire world, evidently
she is not aware of the fact thet the
real owners and managers“of the daily
newspapers in this city and throughout
the country are not interested in the
past nor the future welfare of her
daughter, than to enable them to sell
each day several hundred thousand ex-
tra copies of their papers and that just
‘as soon as the demand for the extra
papers falls off they will permit Mrs.
‘Cameron and her wayward daughter
‘to fall back into their humble stations
in life.
At the same time the Johnson-Cam-
eron incident is just the thing that the
owners and managers of the daily
papers are looking for, for it gives
them a splendid chance not only to
hurl their fiery and race prejudice darts
‘not only at Jack Johnson, but at the
entire Colored race, for the vast ma-
jority of the owners and managers of
the daily newspapers down deep in the
bottom of their unfair and unjust
hearts hate the very idea of permitting
‘a Negro to retain and wear the cham-
pionship belt of the world.
In the good old olden times someone
said, that man that is born of woman
lives but a few days at the longest
while passing through this world which
is so fall of pain and sorrow and that
they are full of all kinds of troubles,
if this is true then Jack Johnson has
enough of troubles at the present time
ito last him for the next thousand years
ito come.
As it never rains, but it pours, each
day and night he is kept busy in bat
ling with the minions of the law whe
like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves ar¢
hot after him in many directions at
Ithe same time; it is therefore, impos
|sible to mention all the law suits pend
ing against him in all the courts at this
time and one would readily infer o1
conclude after reading about them tha
he actually committed a thousand mur
ders and many other crimes in one day
for the daily press has greatly delighte:
in picturing him out as the most re
pulsive and the most heinous black
monster that has ever trodden upon the
fate of the earth.

gentlemen make up their minds that
they want to consort with her.
As before mentioned this nameless
little alderman who never did look good
to us does not possess sense enough to
know that he was slapping at a Dem-
ocratic city administration.
‘This little upstart closes his resolu-
tion in the following whining manner:
«Resolved, That all Jaw-abiding and
decency, loving citizens be and they
are hereby earnestly urged to rally to
the support of the aforesaid White girl
in order that Justice may be dene’’
Rats and hogwash!
Right at this point, we wish to as-
sure Mrs. Cameron, that there are sev-
eral million Afro-Americans in this
country, who are willing to aid hez
financially and every other way and see
to it; that her daughter, receives jus-
tice. At the same time we feel that
she and her Democratic aldermanic
champion in the city council, should be
willing to assist the Afro-Americans,
to prevent White gentlemen in the
Southern states and other sections of
the country; from outraging and de-
bauching innocent young Colored girls
and starting them on the road to shame
and degradation and it might be well
for her and her little Aldermanic friend
to assist in the movement to punish
Frank Chaplin, a White gentleman, who
recently criminally assaulted Matie Me-
Parren, 2 17 year old Colored girl, in
the tubereular department of the
county hospital and was just in the act
of railroading her out of the state in
order to cover up his crime; when
Judge M. W. Pinckney, of the Juvenile
Court called a halt.
Both the parents of this young Col-
ored girl who was born in Mississippi,
are dead and the true or the sham ro-
formers and so-called high moralists,
are not shedding any tears, that are
perceptible over her sad plight.
On Wednesday evening many of th
|most representative AfroAmerican cit
izens met at the Appomattox Club, 3441

pose of giving Jack Johnson a chance
to appear before those who had beer

who denounced him from the pulpit a
week ago.

more favorably than that of the man
who denounced me when, if he had been

the civilized world, could, now be so
unmindful of the common laws of dé-
cency as to so far forget himself and
make such a dastardly assertion.
"I think in view of this denial that
we should make a plea to the public
press that this denial be given as much
publicity as the accusation. The ssser-
tion of the possession of virtue does
mot prove it, mor does the charge of
immorality in another prove itself with-
out evidence. I am attempting no de-
fense of Mr. Johnson. Simply asking
for fair play. While I agree with Mr.
Johnson that he is a free man, I would
remind him that with the privilege of
seeking his own pleasure, care must
also be taken that it does no harm to
others, but rather advances the general
good. To-night we have asked for the
truth, and I say to Mr. Johnson that
he can depend upon this, ‘‘the truth
shall make you free.’?

clared that the great wizard of Tus
Kegee was beaten up in New York City
in 1911, for peeping into the wrong
keyhole and for attempting to enter
the wrong flat oceupied by a White
lady, and he intimated that Brother
Washington must have been looking
for some light chicken at the time he
réeived his beating, and attempted tc
beat it or run away in an effort to
save his life and reputation.

Hon. Edward D. Green, Republican

length and breadth of this state that
he needs no long introduction to the
many thousand readers of The Brosl

The terms that he has served in the
legislature in the past, have been of
lasting credit to himself and to the
race which he has so eminently rep
resented.
The two most noteable pieces of leg
islation, which he successfully cham
pioned and had placed on the statute
books of this state; which aro in fall
foree and of vital effect at the presest
time, are his Anti-Mob Lav, which

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER
Running a newspaper is a thing that every person knows how to do except the editor or manager. Nobody should ever get a roasting in its columns except the editor and his friends. On the other hand, their friends should be sweet scented, praised and bouqueted. If you do something bad you want the editor to keep your name out of the paper; but, on the other hand, should you buy a new dress or hat or feed two or three of the bon tons of the town at your table or sing a solo you want a big puff and a boost, and if you don't get it you are going to stop the paper. A newspaper is something that no one forgets to condemn for its mistakes, but never remember to praise it for the good it accomplishes—The Advocate, Portland Orcason.
Mr. C. G. Benton, the genial collector known by so many of people in the Black Belt of Chicago in white cotton general manager of the Phoenix, Southern Surety and later the National-Acident Insurance Company, will celebrate his twenty-50th wedding anniversary on the 20th. Many tokens of silver have already been presented him.
Dr. William H. Davis of Boston gives the following interesting facts and figures on the comparative mortality of bottle-fed and breast-fed babies. The Doctor tells us that during the siege of Paris, in 1870-71 when the milk supply of that city failed, the mothers were compelled to nurse their babies; as a result the baby death-rate fell from 330 to 170 per 1000 births. Also, in England during the Lancashire cotton famine when the mothers remained at home and nursed their babies there resulted a still greater saving of infant life. And so throughout the civilized world wherever a large percentage of the mothers nurse their babies the baby death-rate is low. Norway and Sweden are notable examples with low baby death-rates respectively of 74 and 85 per 1000 births.
Investigations made by the Boston Department of Health show that 74 percent of the infant deaths above the age of two weeks in that city were among bottle-fed babies. Also these figures showed that the bottle-fed infant over two weeks old is six times as likely to die as is the breast-fed infant.
Dr. W. G. Ebersole of Cleveland, in a paper read before the recent International Congress of Hygiene and Demography at Washington, D. C., declared that the mouth was the most neglected and ill-kept organ of the human body. He asserted that the neglected and ill-used human mouth was responsible for more ill health and loss in working efficiency than any other organ or all other organs of the body put together. As an advocate of the teaching of oral hygiene in the public schools he urged the importance of teaching the children the proper care and use of the human "grinding machine"—the mouth—as being the best sort of prevention of many of the diseases and ailments peculiar to child life. In view of the fact that medical examinations of school children show that fully 97 per cent with diseased or defective mouths, there is no denying the importance of teaching our children how to care for their teeth and to keep their mouths clean.
ROOSEVELT APPROVES TUBEROU.
LOSES DAY PLANS.
"I am very glad indeed that arrangements are being made to have attention directed throughout the United States on 'Tuberculosis Day,' October 27th, to the immediate urgent duty resting upon us all to do all we can do to prevent this preventable disease," says Col. Theodore Boesvelt in a letter made public to-day. This letter was written by Col. Boesvelt as Honorary Vice-President of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to Homer Folkz, the President of that body.
Confirming Col. Roosevelt says: "It is peculiarly fitting that clergymen, churches, and church organization should impress upon their members and attendants the duty of actively supporting in every practical way their local agencies, hospitals, dispensaries and the like, engaged in the suppres-

sion of tuberculosis. The amount of suffering, misery, orphanage, bitter poverty, and economic loss that would be obviated by the application of our present knowledge as to the causes and prevention of tuberculosis is simply incalculable."
THE "GRAND MUSICAL SOIREE"
AT WALTERS A. M. E. ZION
CHUCHCH, AND OTHER SOCIAL
ITEMS.
Mr. Hugh Buchanan, Tenor Baritone Soloist, rendered his first Grand Musicale Soirie, in our city, Monday evening, at Walters A. M. E. Zion Church. Although he has charmed music-lovers in his Recitals outside of our city, Monday evening, was his first Musicale treat in this city.
Eight-thirty found a well packed house, at which time Rev. H. J. Callis expressed thanks in behalf of himself and congregation for the good attendance, speaking of Mr. Buchanan as a praiseworthy young man, and honor to our race, and felt exceeding proud to have his first entertainment at his Church. After a short prayer, the audience was delighted with two selections on the piano by Mr. B. Emanuel Johnson, his artistic-touch and well rendered "Staceato Caprice" by Max Vorrich was enjoyed by all.
Mr. J. E. Mitchem delighted his audience by his rare ability in reciting Paul Lawrence Dunbar's "An Anti-Bellum Sermon," "The Party," and as an encore "When the corn pones hot."
Mr. W. E. Gossette at the pipe-organ showed a masterful phrase of his musicianship.
The applause with which Mr. Harrison Emanuel was greeted and the beautiful bouquet of American beauties tendered him, spoke of themselves, that he had gained a place in each music lovers heart.
Mr. Hugh Buchanan's appearance was greeted with a burst of applause, his musical rotend was evident in excellent selections proving himself to be a valuable factor and personality in the realm of the concert platform.
His rendering of "Who Knows" by Paul Lawrence Dunbar and "Eternal Rest" by M. Piccofomini. Mr. W. E. Gossette presiding at the pipeorgan and Mr. B. Emanuel Johnson at the piano, excited the admiration of all. In response to requests he warbled, "Taint no use in Crying," in his own quaint way. Each left with a feeling that Mr. Buchanan was indeed the young leading Tenor-Baritone singer of the present day.

Among the various candidates, for member of the Board of Assessors of Cook county, none of them are better qualified for the position, than Walter E. Schmidt, one of its present members, who is seeking re-election to it, on the Republican ticket.
For four years he was assistant county treasurer, thereby, enabeling him to become perfectly familiar with all of the affairs, pertaining to his present office.
During his term as assistant county treasurer, he was ever ready to show his friendship for Afro-Americans, and the following were employed in his office by him.
A. H. Roberts, Attorney A. L. Williams, James T. Brewington, Henry Harris, Robert C. Towne, Mathow Smith, Louis A. Jones, Walter Thompkins, James P. Waggoner, John Nelson, Sanford Harris, and George H. Woodson. At no time in the history of Cook county, have such a large number of Colored men served as clerks in that office. This was owing to the broad mindedness and fair play spirit possessed by Mr. Schmidt.
In appreciation, of his liberality in this respect, and his fitness for the position as member of the Board of Assessors, the following committee of Afro-American citizens, recommend his re-election and urge the Colored voters, throughout this city and Cook county, to lovingly support him at the polls Tuesday, November 5th.

WOMAN ATTACKED BY THIRTEEN
MEN.
Pive Members of Missouri Gang Caught
and Posse Hunts for Others.
Husband Escapes Captors and Buns Over Six Miles to Get Rescuers.
Annapolis, Mo., Oct. 20.—Five men are held at the Iron county jail and armed men are searching for eight others who attacked Mrs. Lillie Mullane of Richmond, Va., at Benson Switch. The prisoners, who had their preliminary hearing at Des Are, Mo., were hurried to Ironton in automobiles under an armed guard to avoid lynching.
Mrs. Mullane, who is only 19 years old, is tramping through the country with her husband, T. H. Mullane. They left Virginia on the advice of a physician to seek health while tramping. They attracted the attention of the gang as they stopped to rest, and were followed.
The gang left the tracks, and cutting ahead of the couple hid in the underbrush alongside the track. When Mr. and Mrs. Mullane appeared they were stopped, and while four of the men seized the woman, the others attacked Mullane. She was dragged to a lonely barn.
Her husband broke loose, and ran for help, dodging a shower of bullets. He was forced to run six and a half miles to Des Arc, where he staggered into the office of Constable Albert Daniels, and told his story.
Several Escape from Posse.
Hastily swearing in two deputies, Daniels commandered the nearest automobile and started for the scene.
As they approached, several men ran from a haybarn near the tracks and fled across the open fields. Shots failed to stop them.
Five others were captured inside the barn. There Mrs. Mullane was found, unconscious and nearly dead—The Chicago Tribune, Monday, October 21, '12. For some cause or other the Tribune failed to state that the 13 men are all White gentlemen. On the other hand if they had been 13 Colored men that fact would have been published to the world, so it all depends on whose ax is gored—Editor.

WILLIAM OSTROM.
William Ostrom, Republican candidate for re-election to the Legislature of Illinois, from the 3rd senatorial district, comprising all of the old third, part of the old 4th and part of the old 6th wards, was born in the old 4th ward in 1865, and from his boyhood days to the present time he has always resided in the very shadow of his birth place, he received his education in the public schools of this, his native city.
Not being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he learned and successfully worked at his trade that of a smelter and refiner.
Having a liking for the game of politics he entered it with all of his might shortly after he was able to vote and as it did not take him long to muster up a strong following in his ward and in time he was rewarded for his faithful services to his party with an appointment to a position in the sheriff's office. Later on he was selected as one of the deputy coroners of Cook county by Coroner Peter M. Hoffman, and he is still holding down that position with much credit to himself.

WILLIAM OSTROM.
Republican Candidate for Re-election to the Legislature of Illinois from the 3rd Senatorial District Comprising All of the Old Third, Part of the Old 5th and Part of the Old 6th Wards.
He was elected to fill a vacancy in the Lower House, the first time and re-elected for a full term in 1910 and so far he has made a creditable record in that body.
Several days prior to the convening of the 47th General Assembly he made himself solid with the four thousand Afro-American voters residing in his district by fighting in the Republican caucus for the appointment of Jesse Hawkins of this city of one of the assistant sgt. at arms of the Lower House at Springfield and he won out. For many years Mr. Ostrom has resided at 3136 Princeton ave. and the doors on his home always swing both ways for his friends and supporters who feel confident on Tuesday, November 5, of reboosting him into the Legislature of Illinois—Adv't.

The New Amber Glow Light
Latest Invention from the Welsbach Laboratories
This new light unit is the latest of a thousand and one Welsbach inventions. It is the final triumph of the great Welsbach Laboratories—the laboratories from whence came the first mantle light and nearly all the inventions that have since brought gas light into universal use in the city homes.
The New Amber Glow Light breaks all world's records. It yields a measured volume of full 157 candies of gannine Amber colored, light while burning a trifle less than $\frac{1}{4}$ of a cent's worth of gas per hour.
This is more light for less money than science has ever deemed it possible to produce. And the fact that the huge volume of light is pure amber in color makes it certain that the unit is destined to generally display other home lights throughout the city.
To help introduce this new light unit are now distributing an "Amber Glow Book." A book that is fully intensely interesting and astounding facts. It tells why Amber light hances harmonies of dress and decoration—why Amber light makes the skin look soft and smooth—why Mary Garden demands Amber light when she sings—why profession shooters wear Amber glass and why Amber light is more soothing to the eyes.

Education Notes.
Changhai has a modern kindergarten, and more are to be established.
Better decoration of schoolrooms is one of the alms of an association for national culture recently formed in Italy.
In European countries children attending private schools or being educated at home are obliged to pass a state examination identical with that prescribed for children in the public schools at the end of the course.
Nearly one-fourth of the boys and girls who enter the American public schools reach the high school. This, too, when the work of the high school of today is almost as advanced as that of the college of a few years ago.
