Election Tuesday, November 2d. HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY CHICAGO, OCTOBER 31, 1914 HON. ROGER C. SULLIVAN The rise of the Hon. Roger C. Sullivan, Democratic candidate for United States Senator from Illinois, who has been in the public eye for many years, far more prominently than millions of his fellow countrymen from an humble position in life to a place of eminence in the business social and commercial world, reads like a faily tale. The story of his life which might be compared to an open book runs something like the following. He was born at Belvidere, Illinois, February 2, 1861. His parents were Eugene and Mrs. Mary Sullivan. After receiving his education in the public schools, Mr. Sullivan came to Chicago to expand his business and political wings, and not long after doing so he became a power in Democratic politics. In 1890, he was elected clerk of the Probate Court of Cook County, serving until 1894. While officiating in that capacity he was many times severely chided by his friends and associates, because he persisted in employing a Colored man in his office, in the person of William G. Anderson, as his private secretary and stenographer. His friends labored under the impression, that a White man should hold down that position, but Mr. Sullivan very plainly informed them that just as long as Mr. Anderson discharged his duties properly that he would not separate him from the pay roll, on account of the color of his skin, and he remained as his secretary and stenographer until the end of his term as clerk of the Probate Court. That act on the part of Mr. Sullivan has caused him to be held high in the estimation of the better class of Afro-Americans residing in this city and throughout the state of Illinois. From 1890, to the present time Mr. Sullivan has been a member of the Central committee of the Democratic party HON. ROBERT M. SWEITZER Hon. Robert Magner Sweitzer, Democratic canidate for re-election for Clerk of the county court to be voted for Tuesday, November 3rd, is truly a native popular son of Chicago. He came into this big world on May 10, 1868. His parents were John Martin, Mrs. Sarah (Lanning) Sweitzer, who were among the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Chicago. He received his early education in the city of his birth, graduating from its higher branches with the usual honors. As he approached manhood he entered St. Patrick's Commercial Academy and after diligently applying himself to his studies, for some years he emerged from it in 1884 well fortified or equipped to follow a commercial pursuit and shortly after doing so he became connected with James H. Walker Company, wholesale dry goods merchants, and he held a responsible position with that firm for seven years, or until its failure in 1903. Then he became connected with the wholesale dry goods house of John V. Farwell Co., November 15, 1903, and remained with that old established and well known house until December 1, 1910, and if it had not been for the fact that he was elected Cook County clerk in the last mentioned year he would still be holding down a high position with that firm. Mr. Sweitzer is extremely popular among a large circle of loyal and steadfast friends, for he thoroughly understands in his quiet and soft manner how to draw men or friends to him and not to drive them away from him. As an evidence of this fact, for years he has been the head director of the Illinois Commercial Men's Association and Illinois Traveling Men's Health Association, and for more than twenty-five of Cook County. He was a member of the Democratic National Committee from 1904 to 1912. He has served as president of the Ogden Gas Company since 1902, with his business office at 122 S. Michigan Ave. He is president of the Sawyer Cracker Co., which employs almost one hundred men. He is one of the directors of the Peoples Gas, Light and Coke Co., and a heavy stockholder and one of the directors of the Peoples Trust & Savings Bank. He is also heavily interested in various other lines of business. He is a member of the Union League Club, the Chicago Athletic Association, the Iroquois Club, the Mid-Day and the South Shore Clubs. Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan occupy one of the finest homes in Chicago, residing at 2954 Washington Blvd., and within a short length of time two of their most highly accomplished and very beautiful daughters have married into the best and wealthiest families in this city. Rev. Father Edward A. Kelly, the eloquent pastor of St. Anne's Roman Catholic church, Wentworth avenue and Garfield Boulevard, who is one of our highly esteemed friends and who has for many years past been an intimate friend of Mr. Sullivan's, takes much pleasure in stating that the home life of the Sullivans is "the most ideal that can be found in any well regulated home in any section of the world." How Mr. Sullivan swung the 48 delegates from Illinois to the Baltimore Convention in 1912 from Champ Clark, to Woodrow Wilson, thus putting an end to the long drawn out deadlock, and then after the nomination of Mr. Wilson contributing between five and ten thousand dollars to his campaign fund to aid in his election to the Presidency of the United States has become a part of the history of this country. years he has been chairman of the executive committee of the Alumni Association of St. Patrick's Commercial Association; he is also a prominent member of the Illinois Athletic Club, the Iroquois Club, Knights of Columbus, Royal League, Elks, Edgebrook Country Club and the Jefferson Club. In 1904 Mr. Sweitzer was united in marriage to Miss Alice Kevil. They are the parents of three children, two daughters and one son, Robert M., Jr., little Miss Alice Sweitzer and a little baby daughter and resides at 2958 W. Jackson Boulevard, in the 13th ward. Mr. Sweitzer is a power in Democratic politics on the west side, and he assists to make and unmake city, county and state officials. He is a member of the Democratic State Committee of Illinois. He was a delegate at large to the Baltimore convention and assisted Roger C. Sullivan to swing the forty-eight delegates in that convention from this state from Champ Clark to Woodrow Wilson, thereby securing his nomination to the presidency. The doors on Mr. Sweitzer's inner office always swing both ways, and the humblest citizen both Black and White have experienced no trouble in approaching him, in order to state or transact their business with him. At the laying of the cornerstone of the new Eighth Regiment Armory latey, Mr. Swietzer amply approved that he was made of the right kind of material, for he delivered a very logical and impressive address on "The Achievements of the Colored Soldiers in the various wars of the United States," and as many of the Colored people knew, that he is very fair or liberal minded, they will assist to roll up majority for him at the election this coming Tuesday, November 3rd.

Northup, Republican candidate for Judge of the County Court, is a native of Iowa and has practiced law in Chicago since 1899. Mr. Northup graduated from Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa, in 1891 and thereafter spent two years in the study of History, Social Science and Political Economy, at the University of Chicago. From 1896 to 1899 he was Principal of schools at Elmhurst, Du Page County. From 1906 to 1912 Mr. Northup, as Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County prepared and tried many of the most important cases which arose during the terms of State's Attorneys Healy and Wayman. Special Prosecutor of Vote Frauds. On June 2, 1913, Judge Cooper appointed Mr. Northup Special State's Attorney of Cook County to investigate and prosecute frauds and crimes committed at the general election of November 5, 1912, in connection with the choice of a State's Attorney. After the most determined opposition Mr. Northup's appointment was sustained in the Circuit and Appellate Courts. Notwithstanding the fact that a hostile faction of the County Board repeatedly HON. JOHN STELE Hon. John Stelk, Democratic candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court, is a progressive Chicagoan of German descent. He is about thirty-nine years old, an able lawyer and a high grade gentleman. He started in 1888 as an office boy with King & Gross, lawyers, and remained with them until 1899. Since then he has been engaged in active practice at Room 728, Reaper Block, Corner Clark and Washington Streets.

PAGE TWO prevented any appropriation whatever in aid of the investigation, Mr. Northup with the aid of public subscriptions and by procuring personal loans from time to time, provided himself with sufficient assistance to examine thousands of witnesses and to inspect and compare many thousands of ballots and other documents, whereby it was demonstrated that ballots had been extensively "short-penile" and that returns had been grossly falsified at the election of 1912. Though the fight which Mr. Northup thus waged, over fifty men were indicted, a number of whom were subsequently convicted. The standing of Mr. Northup at the bench and bar of Cook county is such that he may be depended upon to administer the office of County Judge in keeping with the best and highest precedents; while his special knowledge and experience in dealing with vote frauds and crimes is such that he can be depended upon to prevent a recurrence of such crimes as marked the election of 1912, thereby obviating the difficulties and expense of special vote fraud inquiries and securing to all voters, to all candidates, and to all parties a fair count and a square deal. leading daily newspapers recommended him to the Democratic voters at the last Primary. He is a member of the Chicago Bar Association, Lawyers Association of Chicago, Chicago Law Institute, Illinois Bar Association, American Bar Association, and other substantial organizations. Mr. Stelk resides with his family at 2711 West 23rd Street, (12th Ward). It may not be out of place to again state that women as well as men can vote for Mr. Stelk Tuesday, November 3rd, and by all means he should be elected one of the Judges of the Municipal Court.

Miss Anna Schulman, his stenographer, will have charge of the branch office part of the time. COUNTY COMMISSIONER ALBEET NOWAK County Commissioner Albert Nowak has at all times and all places been consistently recognized as one of the stainest supporters and hardest workers for the Democratic party in Cook county. Whenever it has been necessary he has gone to the front without a moment's hesitation in the interests of Democracy, and has come to be regarded as one of the wheel horses who was always found to be reliable when a strong pull was needed to get through a hard place in the road to success. For twenty years he has been handling other people's money in amounts which at the present time average $300,000 yearly, and has properly accounted for every penny of it. This shows that among his friends and business associates he is considered trustworthy, reliable, and a man in whom all confidence can be placed with the assurance that that trust will never be betrayed. Mr. Nowak is one of those many foreign born residents of Chicago who have done so much to give it the high standing which it now holds among the municipalities of the world. He was born in Poland in 1860 and came to Chicago in 1874. He started his career here as a workingman, and was a member of to be the grandest purely literary event ever held in Chicago.

Mr. Farmer represented defendants Williams and The Title Guaranty and Surety Company of Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Since becoming one of the county commissioners Mr. Nowak has proven himself to be the right man in the right place. At all times he has been ever ready as a county official to aid those among the Colored people who were in distress and it goes without saying that many of the Afro-American voters will cheerfully assist him to win in his fight for reelection for County commissioner Tuesday, November 3rd. 74 1920 One of Chicago's most eminent lawyers and Democratic candidate for Judge of the Probate Court.

JOHN Vice-President of the Stockman's 'City Comptroller, widely known German date for Sheriff of Cook County. Vice-President of the Stockmen's Trust and Savings Bank. The Up-to-Date City Comptroller, widely known German-American citizen and Democratic candidate for Sheriff of Cook County. Hon. John E. Traeger, Democratic candidate for Sheriff of Cook county to be voted for at the election Tuesday, November 3rd, was born in Chicago in 1857 and has always been prominent in the affairs of his city. Although born in it, he has always been considered a representative of the German people, among whom he is held in high regard. His early life was spent on a farm. Later on he successfully engaged in the grocery and meat business, and he is now vice-president of the Stockmen's Trust & Savings Bank. As city treasurer, Mr. Traeger turned over to the city without hesitation every dollar earned as interest. This action called forth much favorable comment from the press and from civic societies at that time. As city comptroller, Mr. Traeger inaugurated many reforms, especially the practice of selling bonds of the city directly to the people. More than $1,000,000 in bonds were thus sold at par, making a saving to the city of about $60,000, giving the citizens a de Mr. Traeger was three times elected collector of the town of Lake, and in 1900 was elected coroner of Cook county, being the only Democratic surviving the Republican landslide in that year. In 1905 he was appointed city collector by Mayor Edward F. Dunne, and in 1907 was the successful candidate for city treasurer. In 1911 Mayor Harrison placed him in the cabinet as city comptroller, which trust he now holds. HON, NOBLE BRANDON JUDAH, JB. Hon.

Indorsed by the Citizens Committee of two hundred as the regular Republican candidate for Judge of the Probate Court of Cook County, who is in every way uniquely qualified to discharge all the duties in connection with that office. PAGE FOUR As city treasurer, Mr. Traeger turned over to the city without hesitation every dollar earned as interest. This action called forth much favorable comment from the press and from civic societies at that time. As city comptroller, Mr. Traeger inaugurated many reforms, especially the practice of selling bonds of the city directly to the people. More than $1,000,000 in bonds were thus sold at par, making a saving to the city of about $60,000, giving the citizens a desirable investment and demonstrating what may be done when smaller denominations can be offered. Mr. and Mrs. Traeger, with their three children, reside in a beautiful home of their own at 921 West 54th Place and from October 1, 1899, down to the present time The Broad Ax has been a constant fixture in their home. And it goes without saying that he will be elected and make an ideal Sheriff of Cook County. For some years he has been superintendent of its Sunday school and he is much beloved by the more than three hundred children attending it. He prepared for college at Chicago Manual Training School and after graduating from Brown University he took up the study of the law, attending the law school of Northwestern University in Chicago. He is a member of the law firm of Judah, Willard, Wolf & Reichmann, who occupy elegant law offices on the 15th floor of the Corn Exchange National Bank Building, which, with its predecessor firms, has been continuously in practice in this city since 1856. He has been engaged in general practice at the Bar, but has specialized in probate work, and as his firm has a large probate practice, he has had extended experience in the administration of probate law and the handling of estates.

On account of pressure of private business, he declined to stand for renomination. In reporting on his record in the Legislature, the Legislative Voters' League described him as "an able, public spirited young man, possessing quali- HON. ISAAC N. POWELL Hon. Isaac N. Powell, Republican candidate for member of the Board of Review, is one of the best and most favorably known business men and politicians throughout this city and Cook county, for he always wears a pleasant smile and ready to extend the right hand of fellowship to all comers. Was born at Woodstock, Ontario, December 22, 1866. At the age of four years his parents moved to Missouri with him, locating at Richmond, Ray county. He attended the Richmond College, where James Lane Allen, the noted author, was a teacher for some years during his early manhood. Mr. Powell came to Chicago in 1885 to attend Bryant & Stratton's Business College, where he completed the full course, going from there as bookkeeper to the firm of Ender & Ender, produce commission merchants, on South Water Street. Thereafter, for several years, he represented the Kraft Holmes Grocery Co., as traveling salesman. In 1891 he was appointed Deputy City Clerk, serving for several years. In December, 1894, JUDGE THOMAS F. SCULLY Judge Thomas F. Scully, Democratic candidate for Judge of the County Court, and father of the Boye' Court—the big brother, was elected as one of the Judges of the Municipal Court at the November election in 1910 and it can also be said in his favor that he is to the manner born, for he first saw the light of day in this city in 1871 and his parents were among its oldest and most highly esteemed citizens. He was educated in the Holy Family school, he is also a graduate of the Kent College of Law, from which he received his diploma in 1896, while attending college he was connected with the law department of the Board of Education, and later on he held a very responsible position in the County Recorder's office and then after he had succeeded in getting a firm foothold, as it were, he severed his connection with it to actively engage in the practice of his chosen profession and for some years thereafter he was a member of the law firm of Cunnea, Scully and Rafferty with law offices on the seventh floor of the Reeper Block. In 1897, Mayor Carter H. Harrison, appointed him assistant corporation counsel and attorney for the city comptroller, in 1905 he was elected to the city council from the 10th Ward and he was one of the city fathers from that time until he was elected one of the Municipal Court Judges in 1910, while serving the people in that capa- Roger C.

In recommending him as a candidate for Probate Judge, The Daily News, Sept. 5, 1914, said of him: "He is a lawyer, who has had a wide experience with probate law. His high character, experience and forcefulness equip him for valuable public service." It is almost useless to state that thousands of Afro-Americans residing on the South side and in other parts of this city and throughout Cook County will in every way aid Mr. Judah on Tuesday, November 3rd, in his fight to become the next or the new Judge of the Probate Court of Cock county. he was named by Judge Carter as Assistant Chief Clerk of the Board of Election Commissioners and in May, 1895, promoted to Chief Clerk of that board, in which position he was continued by Judges Carter and Rinaker until elected City Treasurer in April, 1909. He served as Treasurer 2 years. In November, 1910, he was elected President and Director of the Washington Park National Bank, resigning the presidency in 1912 in order to give his entire time to the business of Powell, Garard & Co., dealers in municipal bonds, with fine offices at 39 South La Salle Street. Mr. Powell comes from a large family, there being seven boys and five girls. Five brothers and three sisters, together with the mother, who is 91 years of age, still survive. Married in 1895, at Richmond, Missouri, to Louie Gertrude Hamacher. They have a son, Donald H., 19 years of age. The family resides at 6826 Bennett Ave. He is a member of the Hamilton and Windsor Golf Club. Also the Chicago ity he was a member of some of its most important committees. Judge Scully is a prominent member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, Knights of Columbus, Royal League, and many other organizations; the late Mayor Fred. A. Busse appointed him chairman of the committee on the Cherry mine disaster and he took an active part in the relief work accomplished by that committee. The first part of this present year Judge Scully was selected by Chief Justice Harry Olson of the Municipal Court to preside over the Boys court and it is the first and only kind in the world and being the very best Judge in the right place, he is a kind father and a big brother to all the boys who appear before him. Judge Scully has always been a true friend to the Afro-American race and in the past he has cheerfully performed many kindly deeds for its worthy members. Judge and his good wife, Mrs. Scully reside at 1107 South Ashland avenue, and for many years he has been a constant supporter of The Broad Ax and once each week it finds its way into their pleasant and comfortable home. Therefore, we feel confident that many Afro-American voters on Tuesday, November 3rd, will greatly assist to put him over at the pools for Judge of the County Court. M. One of the Just and Upright Judges of the Municipal Court and Democratic candidate for re-election for the same position at the election Tuesday, November 3rd. JERON THOMAS L. STUHL JUDGE THOMAS F. SOULLY Father of the Boya' Court—the Big Brother and Democratic candidate for Judges of the County Court. Hon. Frank H. Graham, Democratic candidate for re-election as one of the Judges of the Municipal Court, was born in this great city in 1866 and has resided in it all of his days on earth, so it can be truly said that he is to the manner-born. He received his education in its public schools and in the course of time, he entered the Union College of Law, graduating from it with all the high honors due him. Later on he took a post graduate course in the law department of the Lake Forest University. Shortly after emerging from it, he was employed as a clerk for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company, and served in that capacity until 1885, then he started out to earn his own living in the world of law being admitted to the Illinois Bar Association in 1887. He is also an honored member of the Chicago Bar Association and a large degree or measure of success was showered upon him while engaged in the practice of his chosen profession. Real Estate Board and the Cook County Real Estate Board. He is a Mason, Knight Templar and Shriner, Knight of Pythias, Modern Woodman, Maccabee, and member of the Royal League. As men and women can both vote for him and as he has always been friendly to the Afro-Americans and as the great majority of them will heartily support him he has a splendid chance of walking away with the election for member of the Board of Review on Tuesday, November 3rd. MEN'S CIVIC CLUB The Men's Civic Club had no meeting last Tuesday evening, but will meet as usual next Tuesday night at 3005 State St., 8 o'clock. It is hoped that all members and friends will be present. Judge Graham, was elected one of the judges of the Municipal Court in 1915 and so far it must be said to his great credit, that he has been more than tainted in dealing out even handed justice in his court to all those who appear therein regardless of their race, color or nationality. He was one of the two Democratic candidates for Judges of the Municipal Court who were recently endorsed by the Chicago Bar Association. Attorneys Walter M. Farmer and Augustus L. Williams, 184 W. Washington street, Beauregard F. Mosley, 6221 S. Halsted street and other African American lawyers have at various times asserted that Judge Graham is a safe, sane judge and that they have yet detected the slightest race prejudice in him in his dealing with his fellow men. Judge Graham is quite popular with his men associates. He is a prominent member of the Iroquis and Bidgway Clubs and he resides with his interest in family at 5319 Michigan avenue. NEGRO FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE Several candidates for various offices, especially Municipal Judges, will be present Sunday afternoon, November 1st, and deliver addresses. Election day next Tuesday.

A cordial invitation is extended to the public to take advantage of these addresses which will be given at the Reading Room, 3005 State St., at 4 o'clock. Dr. Mary Waring was present last Sunday and gave a very interesting talk on some of her "Experiences as a Teacher in the Chicago Public Schools" At the close of her address she answered many questions asked by those in a tendance. HON. SAMUEL A. ETTELSON The golden and silvered tongued orator of the middle west and Republican candidate for re-election to the State Senate from the Third Senatorial District of Illinois. Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson is a native of the city of Chicago, and was born on November 19, 1874, having resided in it since his birth. He was graduated from the West Division High School in 1892, and attended Harvard College for one year. For three years, commencing in January, 1894, he was employed during the day in the City Public Library, and being of a studious nature, taught school at night and studied law. He graduated from the Chicago College of Law in 1897, and has achieved success in his profession, having been connected with some noteworthy litigation. He is a member of the law firm of Schuyler, Ettelson and Weinfeld. Mr. Etelson is a strong Republican, having cast his first vote for William McKinley for President. He became interested in politics in 1904, and was elected a precinct captain. As the nominee of the Republican party in 1906, he was elected State Senator from the third Senatorial District. In the Forty-fifth General Assembly he was made chairman of the committee on parks and boulevards, and also a member of many of the important committees, during that session of the Legislature. In 1910 he was an independent candidate for re-election to the Senate at the primaries, and succeeded in that campaign in defeating the party candidate against him. In both the Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh General Assemblies, he was appointed to the most important committees in the Senate, chief of which was the Steering Committee. Mr. Ettelson was one of those who reorganized the Senate and succeeded in overthrowing the notorious "Senate Combine." He fathered many important state measures in the interests of the people, among which was a bill that compelled the State Treasurer to pay all interest moneys into the State Treasury, thereby securing for the State an actual income of $200,000 a year. He was the author of the State Text Book Law, which materially reduced HON. ADAM WOLF Republican candidate for re-election for member of the Board of Assessors; woman can vote for him on Tuesday, November 3rd; he is a steadfast friend of the Colored race and its voting members will assist to put him over at the polls on the above mentioned date. the price of school books, and which affected every family in the State of Illinois whose children attend the public schools. He was the author of a bill which authorized the Park Commissioners to acquire submerged lands, and made possible the recent contract between the South Side Park Commission and the Illinois Central Railroad to beautify the lake front and the building of the Field Museum in Grant Park. He succeeded in having a referendum clause attached to the bill which provided for bond issues in the city of Chicago, thus giving the people the right to vote on the propriety and necessity of the issuance of bonds. He was an ardent advocate of the Woman's Ten Hour Law, the Anti-White Slave Law, the Occupational Disease Law, the Direct Primary Act. He procured the passage of the law which gave to the Seventh and Eighth Regiments in the city of Chicago appropriations for the construction of armories. He was the author of a law which procured increased allowances for dependent girls in industrial schools; and also of a law which increased the assistants to the State Factory inspector for the benefit of inspection into the sanitation and public health of all places of employment. He procured the passage of the act which increased the number of judges in the Superior Court of Cook County. He introduced the bill which provided for the construction of subways in Chicago, and also for a separate ballot for the judiciary. He was the author of the bill to create a Public Service Commission. Mr. Ettelson is a member of the Hamilton, the New Illinois Athletic, the Metropolitan Clubs and the Players' Club. As he has been classed as one of the fathers of the Eighth Regiment, it is almost useless to state that the great majority of Afro-Americans residing in the 3rd Senatorial District will assist to put him over at the election, Tuesday, November 3, and reland him in the state senate at Springfield, Illinois. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, OCTOBER 31, 1914 BEING RIGHTLY AFRAID There is no harm in anyone having a wholesome fear of disease. As a matter of fact, fear very often plays an important part in protecting and conserving community health. But because people are very much afraid of some diseases, and almost indifferent about others, most every community has a great deal of sickness that might be avoided. For example, everybody dreads smallpox and because of their fear of this disease, people will submit to vaccination in order to avoid having it. Let us say then, that fear, of the intelligent, wholesome kind, if you please, has been a most important factor in helping health authorities to bring smallpox under a large measure of control. So extensive in fact, that smallpox epidemics are now few and far between. Last year, in spite of the fact that Chicago has a pretty large unvaccinated population, there was but one death from smallpox; but it had during that year, 288 deaths from measles. The trouble is that parents are not afraid of measles in spite of the fact that it killed nearly 300 children in a single year. Much the same attitude is taken as to most of the communicable diseases, that is, that while they are not desirable to have, yet, it is the inevitable lot of children to have them and therefore there is not much use in being careful to avoid them. Also, for 1913, there were 101 deaths caused by whooping cough, another disease that is lightly regarded by many people, whose position is that they rather want their children to have such diseases as measles, mumps and whooping cough as soon as possible and thus be over with them. This is a grievous mistake, especially in the face of the fact that for the first 8 months of this year, whooping cough had 202 deaths to its credit. But this somewhat startling death record, due to diseases that are particularly regarded as "not at all dangerous" by most people, is by no means the whole story. For, while there were in 1913, 288 deaths due to measles, there were 15,132 cases, 14,844 of which recovered. But it is well known that measles often leaves effects that work serious and permanent harm. Here is what the Department leaflet has to say about measles: "It kills by causing inflammation of the air passages and lungs. It maims by causing diseases of the eyes and ears. In the latter case sometimes causing death by an extension to the membrane covering the brain. "It is a crime for parents to purposely expose a child to measles. Keep the child from taking measles until he is grown up, and there will be few deaths from this disease." HON. ADAM WOLF Honest Adam Wolf, Republican candidate for re-election for member of the Board of Assessors for the past sixteen years, who can be voted for on Tuesday, November 3rd, by the women of the dear ladies if you please, is so well and favorably known to the great army of readers of this paper that it does not require a whole column of space to tell the long story of his life. Fifty years ago, then a lad of seven years, arrived in Chicago. Educated in the public schools and became one of the leading West Side merchants. Today the people are demanding of their candidates for public office that they pledge themselves to turn over to the people every dollar of interest earned by the funds in their possession. Adam Wolf has the proud distinction of being the first public official in Cook County to follow such a course. As a West Town Collector in 1893, he inaugurated a new era in politics by voluntarily turning over to the Town Board the interest money earned by public funds. The action of Collector Wolf was considered so unusual that the Daily News on March 30th, 1893, editorially commended Mr. Wolf and pointed him out as a remarkable official. From that time on he has been in the public service HON. WILLIAM H. WEBER endeavor. to lighten their burdens in this respect. Mr. Weber has always proven himself to be a true friend 40 decent and respectable Colored people. The second or third year after he became a member of the Board of Assessors he erected a monument to the memory of one of the Colored men who had been employed in that office paying all of the expenses for it himself. He was greatly effected when his good friend, Jackson Gordon, passed away in the spring of 1912, whom he liked as well as his own brother and it has been his intention all along to erect a monument to his memory. All women residing in the country districts can record their votes in favor of his reelection. Since October 1, 1899, down to the present time Mr. Weber has been a constant subscriber to The Bread Ax and no one would be more pleased than the writer to see him win out at the rolls Tuesday, November 8. Children who seem to be taking a severe cold, accompanied by much sneezing, should not be sent to school. Measles is believed to be most contagious during the first four days of the attack. The danger is much less after the fever has subsided. If only parents throughout the city will co-operate with the Department of Health by keeping a careful watch as to the state of their children's health, and in keeping even a slightly ailing child at home until it is known to be free from contagion of any kind, material reductions can be made in both the case and death rates of these often so-called harmless diseases. Remember that there would be but few deaths from measles if every child could be kept from taking the disease until after five years of age. PRESIDENT WILSON APPROVES OF TUBERCULOSIS DAY. EXPRESSSES SYMPATHY WITH NATIONAL MOVEMENT AND SPEAKS OF FEASIBILITY OF PREVENTING DISEASE. Washington, Oct. 29.—President Wilson expresses his approval of the Fifth National Tuberculosis Day Movement during the week of November 29th and also of the work of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in a letter to Dr. George M. Kober, the president of that body, made public today. He says, among other things: "I know that I need not assure you of my very profound interest in and sympathy with the work of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, and I am delighted to know that you feel encouraged by the results of its efforts. I sincerely hope that November 29th, the day which you have designated as Tuberculosis Day, will result in awakening the people of the United States still further not only to the necessity, but to the perfect feasibility, or arresting and preventing this terrible disease." A number of governors are issuing proclamations on the Tuberculosis Day Campaign, calling on the churches and schools to unite during the week of November 29th in an educational campaign against tuberculosis. The movement is not for the purpose of raising funds, but simply to bring to the people all over the country the essential facts with reference to the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis. Clergymen and others may secure literature for the preparation of addresses and for general distribution from their local anti-tuberculosis societies or from the office of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, 105 East 22nd St., New York. with the same excellent record for honesty and ability. Mr. Wolf is intensely Chicagoan and a firm believer in its future. In 1882 he engaged in the dry goods business, in which he continued until 1898. In 1892 he was elected West Town Collector. The people demanded him for City Treasurer in 1895. Three years later he became County Assessor and was re-elected overwhelmingly in 1902 and in 1908. As stated before women can vote for County Assessor and Mr. Wolf with much pride points to his honorable record in asking their indorsement. He also cheerfully refers them to the thousands of acquaintances that he has made during his public life. Mr. Wolf is a member of Covenant Lodge A. F. and A. Masons, also of the Prairie State Council, Royal Arcanum, Schiller Council, Royal League, Garland Council of the National Union. He is also an honored member of many other fraternal and political organizations. Far and away beyond all these things he is an honest German-American citizen and the voters throughout this city and county regardless of their politics should see to it on Tuesday, November 3rd, that his services will be retained for six years longer as one of the members of the Board of Assessors. Hon. William H. Weber, one of the Republican members of the Board of Assessors, has honestly and faithfully served the small as well as the larger taxpayers in that capacity for the past sixteen years. He is again a candidate for re-election to his present position. Mr. Weber resides at Blue Island, and he represents the people residing in the country towns and in other districts throughout the county on that board, but being perfectly familiar with all the details in connection with the office which he holds he is just as much value and assistance to those residing within the confines of Chicago as he is to those living outside of the city. As stated before, he has been a member of the Board of Assessors for the past sixteen years and no suspicion of scandal or wrong doing on his part has been charged up to him. At all times he is ever ready to patiently listen to the complaints of those who are under the impression that their taxes are too high and it is always a pleasure to him to M. It is necessary to place a Cross [X] in front of his name in addition to the Cross in the Party Circle. DO NOT FAIL TO DO SO! JACKSON, MAJOR R. R.

He obtained his early business training by working as a newspaper merchant. He sold papers at Harrison and State streets nearly forty years ago, and by this he was able to care for his grandmother for a number of years and at the same time attend school. He also worked as an elevator conductor. Jackson only used his elevator position, however, as a means to an end, because while in this position he met many of the leading men of the city. He took civil service examination, made good marks and was appointed to a clerkship, in the Chicago postoffice, where he made a good record, serving twenty-one years. For twelve years Major Jackson served as assistant superintendent of Armour station, the highest position held by any member of his race in the Chicago postoffice system. He is a charter member of the Eighth regiment, national guard, and is at the head of one of the largest printing establishments in Chicago. For a young man he has a splendid record as a soldier.

He made many friends in Cuba and showed while there his military ability. Major Jackson was elected a member of the Illinois legislature, and was seated just a short time before the legislature adjourned sine die. He made good use of his opportunity. Immediately upon being seated in the house of representatives Speaker McKinley recognized his worth by appointing him on the following committees: Chicago charter, fraternal and mutual insurance, federal relations, military affairs, miscellaneous subjects and municipal courts of Chicago. The fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the slaves claimed his attention, and he supported a bill appropriating $25,000 for that purpose, which went through without opposition, receiving a unanimous vote.

GEORGE Republican candidate for state senator Illinoi Alderman George F. Harding, Republican candidate for state senator from the first senatorial district who is highly recommended for that position of honor and trust by the Legislative Voters' League and by the United Societies, was after a bitter fight first elected to the city council from the old second ward in 1905, at that time The Broad Ax was the only newspaper on the South Side to support him in his rough and tumble contest and from 1905, down to the present time he has been one of the most valuable and hard working members of the city council and has always served with much credit to himself and to the citizenship of Chicago on many of its most important committees and he has always worked and voted for every measure which would redound to the benefit of all the people throughout this city. He is a true blue Chicagoan for he --- Packing Co., and Swift & Co., until 1902, when he was appointed Real Estate Deputy in the Board of Review. With the Board until April, 1909, when he was elected Alderman from the 29th Ward.

Alderman Harding never conducts himself in a swaggering manner for at all times he will bestow the proper amount of consideration upon all those who approach him and it makes not the slightest difference to him whether they are of high or low degree, rich or poor, White or Black, and that is one reason why he is so extremely popular with all classes of his fellow citizens. He is a graduate of Harvard College, also of the Phillips Exter of New Hampshire and that fact alone largely accounts for his splendid intellectual attainments. In conclusion there is not the slightest doubt or question about his election to the State Senate on Tuesday, November 3, from the first Senatorial District of Illinois.

TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF THE FIRST SENATORIAL DISTRICT: Alderman George F. Harding, Jr., is a candidate for State Senator from the First Senatorial District. It is hardly necessary to restate to the Colored voters of the First Senatorial District the services both to the Colored people and to the City that Alderman Harding has performed. He has always been true to his trust and in public life has been impartial alike to all citizens.

TAYLORE tuents, that he will not vote upon any Progressive candidate for re-election issue unless it meets with the approval to the legislature from the first of the people residing in the first sena- legislative district of Illinois. John H. Taylor who was elected state representative in 1912 as one of the nominees of the Progressive party, is again seeking the election to the state legislature from the first senatorial district and many people residing in it, regardless of their party politics, will vote for him on election day Tuesday, November 3. As a representative Mr. Taylor feels that he will be able to make good during his second term as a member of the Legislature, more so than during his first term. For it can be truly said in his favor that no boss or party can control him except the people residing in his own district. It is they and no one else that he will permit to dictate to him in any way. His past record shows clearly that his is first and last duty is to his consti- His past record shows clearly that his in that district and should be elected first and last duty is to his consti- to the legislature of Illinois.''

An automatic helmsman, which will steer a ship like a man at the wheel on the ship's bridge, is now being seriously proposed. The captain would set it to steer northeast, for instance, and the machine would then keep the vessel headed northeast until it was given further orders. None has yet been built, but a mechanism that will do the work has been fully planned by a marine engineer. It is made possible because of the success of the gyroscopic compass, now in daily use on several American naval vessels. This compass does not depend at all on the magnetic north pole, but uses the determination of the gyroscope to stay pointed in one direction regardless of the movements of its surroundings. To make the automatic helmsman a tiny mirror would be placed on the compass card and set to the proper course—to the northeast for instance. A beam of light on this mirror would reflect back between two selenium cells when the ship was exactly on the right course. If the ship turned a little off the course the beam would strike one of the selenium cells, and the cell would detect it sufficiently to start a motor to turning the ship's rudder the proper way. If the beam struck the other cell another motor would pull the helm round in the other direction. It would seem that the effect would be to steer the ship on a snake course in a general northeasterly direction. It appears likely that very delicate adjustments would be feasible.
