The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY In 1912 Hon. Oscar DePriest Supported Hon. Maclay Hoyne for State's Attorney and Came Within 162 Votes of Transferring the Second Ward From the Republican Column Over Into the Democratic Column, Thereby Making It Possible to Elect the Most Dangerous State's Attorney Who Has Ever Attempted to Conduct the Affairs of That Office in Cook County AT THAT SAME ELECTION, THREE LEADING COLORED REPUBLICANS, RESIDING IN THE SECOND WARD, OFFERED TO TRANSFER THE COLORED VOTE FROM HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN, IN THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, OVER TO ANDREW J. DONOVAN, THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS IN THAT DISTRICT FOR FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. IT MAY NOT BE TRUE, ALTHOUGH IT IS MAINTAINED THAT THE HEAD LEADERS OF THE PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT IN THE SECOND WARD WANT EIGHT OR TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS TO SUPPORT EITHER ONE OF THE SENATORIAL CANDIDATES WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT ONE DOLLAR AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS APIECE FOR EACH ONE OF THE SIX THOUSAND MEMBERS BELONGING TO THE PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT. REV. J. C. ANDERSON, THE ELOQUENT AND HONORABLE PASTOR OF QUINN CHAPEL, PRONOUNCED THE BENEDICATION AT THE BANQUET AT THE MORRISON HOTEL LAST SATURDAY EVENING, WHICH WAS GIVEN IN HONOR OF HON. MEDILL McCORMICK, WHICH IS EVIDENT THAT ALL OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN ILLINOIS ARE NOT SHOUTING FOR HON. WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR. he introduced in the Legislature which was intended to make some forms of gambling lawful in this state. It must be admitted that for many years there has always been many Democrats in the Second Ward for money or otherwise who have been ready and willing to unite with one or the other factions of the Republican party in order to down the other faction, and there always has been many white and Colored Republicans in that Word who are ever ready to join hands with the Democrats to enable them to cause the defeat or the downfall of the regular Republican candidates who fail to bow down to them real low. It will be recalled that in 1011 that the Hon. Oscar DePriest and his followers lead the fight against Alderman Milton J. Foreman after he had been recombined at the primaries for re-election to the City Council from that Ward; that Mr. DePriest and his warring benchmen throw their support to AL Tierney, the Democratic candidate for alderman of the Second Ward, and that offer his election that Mr. DePriest and his followers marched at the head of the Democratic parade with a band of music from 37th and State street right into the City Hall—that they greatly rejoiced to witness a Democrat sworn in and to occupy the seat of a Republican in the City Council. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. De Priest had joined hands with the Democrats and had greatly assisted, open and above board, to elect a Democratic alderman in the Second Ward, the Hon. Martin B. Madden was still so much in love with him that in 1912 he endeavored to secure the nomination of Mr. De Priest for county commissioner and when the committee of one hundred turned Mr. De Priest down cold Mr. Madden was exceedingly wrathy and he absolutely refused to name another Colored man instead of Mr. De Priest which the committee of one hundred gave him the right to do and Mr. Madden was severely condemned by the Colored politicians and statesmen residing in the Second Ward because he had stood by Mr. De Priest to the last ditch and that ward lost a candidate for county commissioner. It will also be recalled that at the election in 1912 that after Mr. De Priest was not nominated for county commissioner that he rushed out in the open again with his Democratic war paint—that he loyally supported the Hon. Maclay Hoyne for state's attorney who has amply proven himself to be the most dangerous and the most riskless personage; who has ever attempted to conduct the affairs of that office; that Mr. De Priest and his followers who were rank or avowed Democrats at that time come within one hundred and sixty-two votes of transferring the Second Ward from the Republican column over into the Democratic column; for it is estimated that Mr. De Priest and between seven and eight thousand Colored people in the Second Ward freely voted for the present Democratic state's attorney instead of voting for the Republican candidate for that office. At that same election in 1912 three of the leading Colored Republicans residing in the Second Ward, called on Andrew J. Donovan, the Democratic candidate for congress in the First Congressional District and they offered to transfer or to throw the Colored voters residing in that district from Hon. Martin B. Madden to him for five thousand dollars. Mr. Donovan can give the names of the three Colored Republicans who approached him in that direction and undeavoured to shake him down for five thousand dollars. It will be further re-called that even after the Hon. Oscar De Priest had openly supported Hon. Maclay Hoyne for state's attorney and had loudly boasted of that fact, that the Hon. Martin B. Madden was still deeply in love with him so much so that in November, he forced or compelled the Repub THE MUSICAL "THE MUSICAL" BY JOHN M. MAYER, WITH A FILM BY JOHN M. MAYER, AND A PRODUCTION BY JOHN M. MAYER. heans in the Second Ward to nominate and elect Mr. De Priest alderman of that ward and when the Hon. State's Attorney landed on Mr. De Priest Mr. Madden sent him one or two thousand dollars to assist him in his troubles with the Hon. State's Attorney of Cook County. It will be further recalled that at the last disgraceful fight or election in the Second Ward, that Mr. De Priest gladly joined hands with the dead wing of the Carter H. Harrison Democrats and heartily welcomed them into his fold in a desperate effort to defeat the regular Republican candidate for alderman of that ward who had beautifully defeated Mr. De Priest at the primaries. It may not be true but it is contended by some of the wise politicians that the high priests of the people's movement in the Second Ward were slight or two either of the three senatorial candidates which would make one dollar and twenty-five cents for each one of its six thousand members or about a dollar and a half for each male voter as its women voters cannot vote for United States senators. Rev. J. C. Anderson, the cloquent and straightforward pastor of Quinn Chapel, pronounced the benediction at the banquet in honor of Hon. Medill McCormick at the Morrison Hotel last Saturday evening, which is positive proof that Edward H. Wirght, who was arrested and convicted in an open court of record for gambling and the Rev. Hen. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D. never have and never will be able to vote all of the Colored voters of this city and state around in their big money grasping hip pockets—that they are not the true representation of the best be terest of the Colored people residing in this community—that they will never be able to line up one-half of the loyal Colored people for Hon. William Hale Thompson for United States Senator. Hon. and Mrs. Herman F. Schnettler, 3451 Bosworth Avenue, returned home the first of this week, after spending three or four months in Miami, Na. The Chief is very much improved in health, although he has not completely recovered from his severe spell of illness. He was glad to return home and to be pleasantly greeted by his many friends. The many friends of Attorney Augustus L. Williams are still talking of him for State Senator in the Third Senatorial District. : : PPD ete Pee cr tr ee 7 oh Pere st. ee are Se tS eee ’ ¥ ga ee —s PRG a eR ge a OEE RRS ee ’ : orem nmn ae ee we cage = OP OS EMS ke : ee pe EE a ee ea a SSR a : ae BH ‘ rare <a : Po Eo pave ee - i ; en = > ees a ee ————. po a Be i a PS Ve tae P ats.
