Hanna, of Cleveland, Ohio, who freely and unreservedly mingled with many of the most substantial Colored women at the reception given in her honor last Thursday afternoon at the elegant home of Mrs. Emma Johnson, 3309 Calumet avenue, and by her charming and most captivating manner Mrs. McCormick made many friends and voters for her distinguished husband, Hon. Medill McCormick, for United States Senator. Mrs. Ruth Hanna Medill McCormick has become conspicuous in the public eye recently, owing to the fact that her husband, Hon. Medill McCormick, seems to be well in the lead in his race for the nomination for United States Senator from Illinois, that it may not be improper to state just who she is and where she hails from. Mrs. McCormick was born in Cleveland, Ohio, March 27, 1880. She is the highly accomplished and lovable daugh-ter of the late United States Senator Marcus A. Hanna and Mrs. Charlotte A. (Rhodes) Hanna and no family residing in Cleveland were more friendly to worthy Colored people than Senator and Mrs. Hanna and their daughter, Mrs. Ruth Hanna Medill McCormick, for whenever the Colored people were in trouble in that city and needed true friends, they always sought the Hannas.

FLETCHER DOBYNS, CHAIRMAN, ARE WORKING VERY HARD FOR THE NOMINATION OF EVERY MAN ON THE BBUNDAGE COUNTY TICKET. The women, in all walks of life, are forcing themselves to the front and making their presence felt, in civic and political affairs, never dreamed of in days that have passed and gone; in fact, no movement of any character in this country can make any permanent progress without the active aid and co-operation of women and the women of Illinois and especially in this city, are cutting a wide swath in the present senatorial contest. Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns, as the chairman of the Republican Women's Loyalty Campaign Committee, with the slogan Hon. Medill McCormick for United States Senator, occupy extensive headquarters on the fourteenth floor of the Conway Building. Mrs. Mabel Gilmorg Reinecke, secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Dobyns and the women associated with her, are not only working for Mr. McCormick for United States Senator, but they are also striving very hard to bring about the nomination of every New York, and Farmington, Conn. June 10, 1903, she was united in marriage at Cleveland to Hon. Medill McCormick; it was, by far, one of the most fashionable weddings ever held in that city. Mrs. McCormick has for some time been actively interested in political, industrial and civic problems; she is a member of the National board of the National American Women Suffrage Association. She has served as chairman of the National Congressional Committee of the same in charge of the work at Washington, D. C.; she was the organizer of the Women's department of the National Civic Federation in 1907; she joined the Progressive party and took active part at headquarters in the national campaign, 1912; she represented the Illinois Consumers' League, as a prominent and hard-working member of its state board, before the Illinois Legislature, 1915, working day and night for the passage of a child labor bill; she is a member of the American Association for Labor Legislation, also Women's Clubs for Civic Improvement in Chicago, etc.; she is an honored member of the Friends' Society (Quacker); she is also a member of the Woman's City Club, the Chicago Woman's Club and the Colony Club of New York City. With all of her activities in the social, civic and political world Mrs. McCormick, who to an eminent degree, represents the very highest type of American womanhood, still finds the time to govern and manage her beautiful home in this city and her home on the farm in the country and to look after the wants and the comforts of her bright and highly interesting children and her husband. Possessing the highest conception of the eternal fitness of things Mrs. McCormick could not be induced to become a member of the Republican Women's Loyalty Campaign Committee as long as her husband is seeking high political honors. Lastly Mrs. McCormick honestly feels that owing to her long friendship for the Colored people and the friendship of her late father for them, Senator Mark Hanna, that many Colored men and women, those who are politically free, will greatly assist to land her husband in the United States Senate. man on the Brundage ticket for the various county offices.

Hon. Anton J. Cermak, who is the candidate of the regular Democrats for sheriff, has added largely to his reputa- tion during the past year as the result of the leading part he has taken in the organization and conducting of activi- ties to sid in the winning of the war. Already prominent as a capable and ef- ficient public official and as a leader in charitable work Mr. Cermak has made & new namie for himself as the result of his patriotic endeavors. It is largely as the result of his organizing ability and hard labor that the Czecho-Slovaks of Chicago have made themselves known throughout the world for their devo- tion to the cause for which the United States is now fighting abroad. Immediately after the war broke out Mr. Cermak began to take s prominent part in patriotic work. He was selected as chairman of the Bohemian branch of the Foreign Language division of the committee which pushed the various Lib- erty loans, be was in charge of Red Cross and War Savings and Thrift Stamp drives in his section of the city and was the organizer and first presi- dent of the National Army Aid Associa- tion, which has done so much to assist the families of the boys who are at the frost or in the training camps. ‘It was owing to the interest that Mr. Cermak had already taken in charitable work that he was so successful in his pa- triotie endeavors. The Bailiffs’ Benevo- lent Association, organized among the employes of his own offce had been for several years engaged in relief work of various kinds. In directing the work of this organization Mr. Cermak gained 3 wide insight into conditions in the city and learned how best to deal with them. This served him materially in his latest efforts. As a public official Mr. Cermak has! ‘also made « creditable record. For four terms ix the legisiature he battled vig- orously for measures im behalf of the people. His record in the legislature caused the Legislative Voters’ League! to declare of him im 1908, “Best man on the list of candidates.’ In the city council, in which he served for two terms Mr. Cermak alse won the commendation of all those in- terested in seeing the city well served. He was thus characterized by the Mu- Hon. Martin B. Madden addressed « large audience st South Park\M. E Chureh last Sunday, August 4th, under auspices of the Phalanx Club. This is the first gun to boom in the Fourth Lib. erty ‘Loan Campaign. Congressman Madden also spoke at Institutional Church that night in behalf of Atiants Normal and Industrial Institute. Other speakers were Judge George W. Ellis, Dr. A. J. Carey, Mr. RE. Moore, Dr. Richard Stinson, and Mr. De. Mary Waring. Senator Samuel Ettelson acted ‘8s Master of Ceremonies, Among the striking things Congressman. Maddén said was the fact that 150,000 of our Doys are over there fighting now, and before the war is over there will be 500, 000 fighting to make the world safe for qual rights for all as American citi zeps and not set apart for any particu- Jar race or class. His contribution to *AGE TWO nicipal Voters’ League at the end of bis third year: ‘(A man of considerabl ability and force; as chairman of the elections committee he is entitled tc great credit for securing the best anc the fairest redistricting the city eve had, a result accomplished largely by his work, firmness and persistence.”? As bailiff of the municipal court Mr. Cermak’s record has been one which might be expected of a man so favorably endorsed. He has not only performed the diffieult duties of the office in such ‘a way as to win the unanimous praise of judges of the municipal court, the great majority of them of an opposite political faith, but he has been able to temper justice with merey in a way which has Jed litigants to eseape many of the hardships whieh would be imposed by too striet an interpretation of the law. As a Democrat Mr. Cermak has an un- broken record of fidelity and loyalty. He has done yeoman work for the Dem- cratic tickets at all times and his serv- ices have twice been recognized by his selection as chairman of the county central committee. In the last judicial election he was one of the leaders in the fight for the election of a loyal judiciary and was responsible for the large majority which the loyal candi- dates received. There is one thing that must be said to the great credit of Mr. Cermak, and that is that his heart has never been bound up by narrow race prejudice. E. Franklin Morrow was one of the deputy bailiffs in his office and he was the first Colored man to serve under Mr. Cermak in that capacity and at his death about one year and a half ago the bailiff’s office was closed out of re- spect to his memory on the day of his and deputy bailiffs acted as and had full charge of his arrangements. Mr. Cermak imself contributing the most expensive the most beautiful of the many offerings, which shows that his is im the right place. George Ambier, another Colored man, succeeded Mr. Morrow. in the bail- "s office and he is well liked by all connected with that office and it safe to say that many Colored men on Wednesday, September 7th, as- ‘Mr. Cermak to seeure'the nomina- Ser shed of Ca ces / $100.00, Hon.

Martin B. Madden owes his prominence in the political and com- mereial world to the Colored people; that without their aid and support he would not amount to anything; that they have made him what he really is and s0 on. : ‘Those who s0 contend are undoubtedly unfamiliar with the political and with the business career of Congressman Madden, who had a national reputation long before there was one hundred Col- ored voters residing in the First Con- gressional District of Tlinois; even at that remote period Mr. Madden was friendly disposed towards the Colored race. Congressman Martin Barnaby Mad- den was born at Darlington, England, ‘March 20, 1855. He was the son of John and Eliza (O’Neil) Madden. He received his education in the public school, night school and business col- lege. As a small or young boy he faith- fully served as water boy for the West- ern Stone Co, At that time he was only ten years old, his parents prior to that time coming to this city from their home in England to reside. On May 16, 1878, Mr. Madden was united in marriage to Miss Josephine Smart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Smart, of Downer’s Grove, IL, and they are the proud and honored parents of one highly accomplished daughter, Mabel B. (Mrs. Paul Henderson), whose husband is doing his bit to win the war, for a world-wide demoeracy. | Being fall of courage and ambition and possessing a large amount of execu- tive ability to an eminent degree, Mr. Madden worked his way up from the water boy of the Western Stone Co. to its president and for many years it has been one of the greatest and most ex- tensive concerns of its kind in the United States. Mr. Madden honorably served as the president of the Quarry Owners’ Asso- ciation of the United States from 1885 to 1889; president of the Illinois Mfrs.” Association, 1901-02; vice-president Builders’ and Traders’ Exchange of Chicago, 1886-87; delegate to the Na- tional Builders’ conventions five times. With distinetion he served as chair- man of the Republican City Committee of Chicago from 1890 to 1896; he has been @ prominent member of the Repub- ican County Committee since 1890 and at the present time he is its first vice- president; he was the temporary chair- man of the Republican State Conven- tion of 1896; he has served as a dele- gate to all Republican National eonven- ions since 1896 (served on sub-Commit- jee on Resolutions sinee 1900), and wrote the Isthmian plank in 1900; he was one of the most prominent, invala- ible and most business-like members of the Chicago City Council from 1889 to 1897, and was president of that body from 1891 to 1893, and was chairman if the Finance Committee seven years yat of eight. : SUNSHINE RESCUE MISSION 2830 S.

Long since Congressman Madden has Proven himself to be one of the best and foremost, ready running and most effective debaters in either branch of Congress. His numerous fiery tilts with the fire-eating Negro-hating Congress- men of the South in relation to the civil and political status of the Colored peo- ple in this country has attracted the at- tention of the civilized world. His speeches delivered in Congress February 27, 1909, June 8, 1914, January 7, 1915, January 11, 1915, April 4, 1916, and April 24, 1916, on ‘The Blnek Bat- talion-Loyalty of the Colored Soldier Versus the Proposed Segregation of Col- ored People,”’ ‘Injustice of the Afri- ean Exclusion Amendment to the Immi- gration Bill,’’ ‘Protection of Negro Womanhood,”’ ‘‘Answering Criticisms By Congressman Clark of Florida’’ and «Defense of the Constitutional Rights of the Negro’ are the most logical and formidable orations in defense of the manhood rights of the Negro that have been delivered in eitKer branch of Con- gress since the days of the immortal and iNustrious Charles Sumner. ‘Mr. Madden is one of the hardest working members of Congress, being known far and near he receives hun- dreds of letters daily from people all over the country; many of them are trom Colored people wanting him to do this, that and the other thing for them, and he never rests until the very last etter is answered, and if those who are aly known to him by repatation in all parts of this country could vote for him ut the primaries Wednesday, Sept. 11th, he would be renominated by more than wo hundred thousand majority.

Anderson of the Second ward delivered in the City Coun: cil at its special meeting on Friday last an address on the subject of gas litiga tion, which is coneeded by many of the old members of the City Couneil to be one of the most forceful speeches made im the Couneil Chamber for a long time. A representative of The Broad Ax was present in the City Couneil during the time that Alderman Anderson was speaking. He reviewed the history of the gas litigation and pointed out with telling effect the disadvantages under which it had proceeded, due to what he insisted was the incompetency of special coun- sel retained by the city. His intimate knowledge of details of this litigation and the masterly manner in which he handled them showed at once that Al- derman Anderson had given much care- fal study to his subject. He easily con- vineed every member of the City Coun- cil and the large gathering in the gal- lery that he had complete grasp of the situation and in a skillful, lawyer-like manner pointed out the pitfalls with which this much talked of litigation was confronted. A representative of The Broad Ax talked with a number of aldermen after the adjournment of the session and they were as one in their expression and praise of Alderman Anderson’s skill and method of handling the question, and they uniformly expressed the opin- om that Alderman Anderson is unques- tionably one of the ablest men in the City Couneil.

Mr. Kasperski came into this world in Poland and he is one of the most popular, upright and progressive Polish-American citizens in this city. He has presided in Chicago for thirty-five years and has been happily married for twenty-six years. just on the eve of going to war.

This bright young man was appointed to a very important position in the office of the Attorney General, on the first day of July, by Hon. Edward J. Brundage. He was one of the men who stood loyally by Attorney General Brundage in the Second Ward during the National Campaign of 1916, at which time Mr. Brundage was a candidate for the high office that he now fills with honor and dignity to himself and the people of the great state of Illinois. Mr. Jenkins owns some very valuable property in Chicago. A beautiful six-fat building located at 3140-42 Prairie Avenue, valued at $22,000, and a beautiful eight-room house located at 4913 Wabash Avenue, valued at $10,000, making a total of $32,000. This puts him in a position not to be led around with a book in his nose, when he goes to the legislature. Every voter in his district, both White and Colored, should vote for him on primary day, September 11th, and give him the largest majority ever given a candidate in the history of the First Senatorial District. He is honest, capable, reliable and worthy, and is entitled to this consideration. Mr. Jenkins was born in Warren County, Ga., December 11, 1876, on a farm. He received his early education ```markdown ``` in the public school of Eastman, Ga., graduated from the Peabody High School at Eastman, Ga., taught school in Dodge County, Ga., three years, came to Chicago in January, 1902, and has lived in the first senatorial district in the city of Chicago 16 years. He received his college education in the University of Chicago, his medical education in the University of Illinois, his pharmaceutical education in the North Western University, and his legal education in the Midland University, the Chicago Law School, graduating from that institution June 20th, A.

Mr. and Mrs. Kasperski are devoted members of the Roman Catholic Church.

We appeal to the voters, both White and Colored, to vote for this splendid young man on primary day, September 11, 1918, and send to the legislature of the great state of Illinois, one of the best prepared young men in the first senatorial district.

Germantown, Pa.—(Special) — The Young Women Christian Association has purchased the property at 6128 Germantown avenue for a nominal sum and a mortgage of $16,000. It occupies a lot 119.3 by 540 feet, and is assessed at $35,000. The property will be used by the association as headquarters for race girls. Dr. D. A. Ferguson, the leading dentist of Richmond, Va., and president of the Inter-State Dental Association of that state, and president-elect of the National Medical Association, has been in the city for the past two weeks, part of the time attending the sessions of the National Dental Association. Attorney C. H. Platt, who is also engaged in the real estate business in Evanston, Ill., was in the city on Wednesday and he is going strong in favor of George Edmund Foss for the nomination for United States senator. HON. MEDILL McCORMICK CONTINUES TO LEAD IN THE RACE FOR THE NOMINATION FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS. MANY OF THE BETTER CLASS OF COLORED MEN IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THIS STATE ARE FAST FALLING IN LINE FOR HIM. BY BEAUREGARD F. MOSELEY. The hour has struck and the great senatorial contest is on, with the Hon. Medill McCormick leading the field, with the Hon. Wm. Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, and the Hon. Edmund Foss, congressman, tied for second place, with P. H. O'Donnell and Case trailing in the order named. The attempt of the political managers of the various aspirants to utilize the factional fight in Cook County to the advantage of senatorial aspirants has fallen flat. It is apparent to any political observer of any consequence that the local faction in the party in Cook County, and to be plain about it, the Deneen faction have no senatorial candidate, but have advised their friends and supporters to support the aspirant for United States senator who, in their judgment, is best fitted to represent the interests of the state and the party. This, of course, gives each of the senatorial aspirants some following among the Deneen and De Priest factions in the county, with the advantage to the Hon. Medill McCormick, for the reason that he represents to a greater extent than any of the other candidates party unity and organized labor and wealth, and has no friends to reward except Americans, and no enemies to punish except America's, and the further fact that his past performance as a vote getter when he led Congressman Foss in his own district and led Governor Lowden and led the presidential candidate, Judge Hughes and everyone else on the Republican ticket, makes him an asset upon the ticket when nominated that appeals to all persons earnestly and seriously desiring the success of the party in the fall campaign. On Thursday, last, the writer had occasion to visit Alton, Ill., and speak to the U. B. F.'s in an annual celebration that they were giving at the public park. The invitation came through Capt. R. A. Byrd, of Springfield, a strong McCormick downstate man, and the writer was surprised to find in Alton a man who had been employed for forty-three years with one business house and had accumulated and saved enough to educate his children and erect a five thousand dollar home upon one of the most beautiful streets in the city of hills, was an Odd Fellow, H. B. Hunter, of 901 Gold street, who readily signed up for Mr. McCormick upon the theory that he was better able to assist in the enforcement of the law because of his influence with the people who own and control things. From there the writer visited Lebanon, the old home of Ex-Governor Chass. S. Deneen, and there met many people who knew the governor. All of them were loud in their praise and proud of his record and took pains to inform the writer how well they knew him. One man, Wm. G. Turner, said that the governor used to work for his father. And speaking of the Turners, it perhaps will be interesting to most of the readers to know that Lebanon is now the home of Mary C. Turner, widow of the late Young Turner, the owner of 600 acres of the best farm land in St. Claire County in and around Lebanon, and the home of McKendree College, the Alumni of Lawrence Y. Sherman, Chas. S. Deneen and other national celebrities. Turner died October 11, 1916, on his farm, where he had employed at times, the Ex-Governor and left him surviving his four sons and one daughter, Mrs. Mamie Rhodes, Young Turner, Jr., and John G. Turner, all of whom are farming. Wm. Turner has already gathered and thrashed 3,586 bushels of wheat and his brother, Young Turner, is the owner of a model farm and ten of as perfect specimens of the Holstein cow breed, as exists in the state. The products from these cows enable Turner to clear a net profit of more than $200 per month, upon the sale of milk. Here also is the home of Mr. John Young, owner of one of the finest seventy-nere farms in the county. He raises hogs, sheep, eows, goats, children and chickens, as he has seven fine children, three boys and four girls. His oldest son, Mark, is in charge of the farm and is a speaker of no mean ability. These with other prominent men, Dick House, Ed Gaunt, Pat Higkman, Tom Brooks, Daniel Mayhew, Henry Willis and the Rev. C. W. Smith. All of Lebanon expressed to the writer their preference for Mr. McCormick for United States Senator upon the theory that he was not only loyal, but the country believed in him and that he had strengthened the ticket and would enable the Republican Party to record a victory and control the next Congress, which is sadly needed at this time. After speaking to a large and enthusiastic crowd, the writer left Lebanon and returned to the city to find that there was an effort put forward in the Second Ward among the leading colored men to give to the Hon. Wm. E. Mason, a non-factional mass meeting, at which he alone is to be the speaker, and no doubt such a meeting will be arranged and will take place shortly, for Wm. E. Mason is one of the staunchest friends of our people and deserves reelection upon his merits. CHIPS Misses Edna and Lillian Schweich, public school teachers, of Columbia, Mo., are visiting Mrs. Dr. Burnett at 3648 Rhodes Avenue. Miss Lillian Vanderburg, teacher in Sumner High School, Kansas City, Kansas, is spending her vacation at Rayland Park, Des Plaines, Ill. Mr. Richard Haines, son of Thomas Haines, 6042 South May Street, was among the recent draftees and entrained for Camp Grant. Mrs. Mary Harsh, 2963 Federal street, was elected first financial secretary of the Easter Lily Club, Thursday evening, August 8. The club has a membership of over three thousand women. Attorney Jasper Ross, 3518 South State Street, has just returned from an extended vacation of three weeks, during which time he visited many points of interest adjoining Chicago and says he had a delightful time. Mr. James F. Robinson, 3757 Prairie Ave., enjoyed a very delightful vacation recently. Among the suburban places he visited were the following: Winnetka, Waukegan, Kenosha and La Grange. Julius Rosenwald, President of Sears, Roebuck and Company, and interested patron of Y. M. C. A. work among Negroes, is on his way to the European battlefront to assist in directing Y. M. C. A. affairs there. He has given up his active commercial duties. Dr. Elwood W. Lewis, 4651 South State Street, one of Chicago's leading physicians and surgeons, is contemplating an extended vacation in the very near future. He enjoys an extensive practice in the city but is compelled to take a long delayed rest. Mrs. J. M. Higginbothan, wife of the up-to-date and the most progressive Afro-American contractor in Chicago, 4314 Forrestville avenue, has gone on a visit to Seattle, Wash., where she will spend five or six weeks vacation with her sister-in-law, Mrs. J.

Douglass, prominent in medical circles of Chicago, is to set sail upon the sea of matrimony this fall. He wears a very cheerful look these days, evidently in contemplation of the approaching event. In order to make Chicago's citizens feel that the war is close at home and to demonstrate in a local attitude the real patriotism of the race, Rev. A. J. Benmarcateau, 723 East Forty-eighth street, was seen traveling south on State street near the corner of Forty-seventh street, last Wednesday morning, with a suit case in one hand and a large musket on his shoulder. He said he believes in preparedness both in times of war and times of peace.

Tuesday, August 6th, will long be remembered as a red letter night in interdenominational Usher Board work among the churches of Chicago. On that night Quinn Chapel Usher Board acted as host to the following Usher Boards, Bethel A. M. E., St. Paul C. M. E. and Walters A. M. E. Zion. A large number were present and Attorney Samuel Z. C.
