TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE (Special to The Broad Ax.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin O. Davis of the Ninth United States Cavalry Regiment, who has been assigned to duty at Tuskegee Institute as Professor of Military Science and Tactics by the War Department, arrived September 1st to assume his new duties. Lieut. Hon. Kent Greene, Republican candidate for the nomination for Judge of the Municipal Court, who has been highly endorsed by the Chicago Bar Association; its committee consisting of Thomas M. Hoyne, Edgar B. Tolman, John T. Richards, Silas H. Strawn, Mitchell D. Follansbee, Charles S. Cutting and Amos C. Miller, state in its findings that "His association with work of the court has given him exceptional experience and training, well qualified" for Judge of the Municipal Court, was born at Dayton, Ohio, on June 1, 1870. His great-grandfather, a cousin of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, on the staff of Gen. George Washington, served in the Revolutionary War against Great Britain. Others of his ancestors, both paternal and maternal, fought for the American cause in that war. Mr. Greene's father came to Illinois in 1829, at the age of 12 years and shortly after his arrival became the boss of a gang of 100 men working on the Illinois and Michigan Canal, for the digging of a section of which his father had a contract. This very young superintendent got his early education while off duty at nights from the bookkeeper employed on the canal work. In his boyhood Mr. Greene longed to be somebody and he strove very hard to come into the possession of a first-class education for even at that tender age he seemed to fully realize that knowledge is power all the time. For years he went to the common school during the three months' winter term, going to work often before school hours in the morning and back to work at the adjournment of school in the afternoon. The other nine months of each year were devoted to work in the mill or on the farm, evenings and very early mornings being occupied with study. This continued through the common school course. High school was at Ottawa, four miles from home, and being in another township, tuition had to be paid, making it necessary when a term was entered upon to complete the term without interruption. But these terms were taken at irregular intervals. After two years of actual attendance, not only the four years' regular course had been completed, but in addition thereto such extra courses had been taken that with the two years' attendance school credits were given for five and two-thirds years' work, and during a large part of that time he was walking eight miles per day to and from school. A two years' course of study in law was taken in a law office in Ottawa, the arrangement adhored to throughout the two years - being that one day Hon. Ninian H. Welch, Republican candidate for the nomination for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, was born on a farm in Lake County, Illinois, was educated as a teacher at the Northern Normal School, now Valparaiso University, and taught school for several years, concluding as a principal of a High School. He is a graduate of Wheaton College with the degree of B. S.; took a course in Beloit College in Philosophy and History, was graduated from Lake Forest University with the degree of M. A., and is a graduate of Chicago Kent College of Law with degree of LL. B. He is a member of several Bar Associations, Town and Country Club, Hamilton Col. Davis is the highest ranking Negro Officer on the active list of the United States Army. He is also the only Negro who has reached the grade of Lieutenant Colonel in the regular Army from the grade of Private in the ranks. He has served both on the Mexican Border and in the Philippine Islands with the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiments. He was at one time United States Military Attache in the Republic of Liberia. During the Great World War, Lieut. Col. Davis was stationed in the Philippine Islands in command and with the Ninth Cavalry Regiment.

Young, 3356 Forest avenue, has gone to Leavenworth, Kans, where he will spend sometime with his mother and other relatives. should be devoted to manual work at Ottawa, and throughout the two years he walked eight miles each day he went to his studies. At the end of the two years he passed his examination for admission to the bar before the Appellate Court, then situated at Ottawa, but was refused his license because his application showed that he was only nineteen years old. During those two years he took extra courses in Latin in high school. Mr. Greene wended his way to this great city in 1880 and took a course at Northwestern University Law School, graduating with the class of which Hon. Harry Olson, afterwards Chief Justice of the Municipal Court, and Judge Kenesaw M. Landis were members. On graduation he received the first prize for the best thesis on a question of practical law. His license to practice law, signed by the Judges of the Supreme Court several months before he became of age, was retained by the clerk of the court until his twenty-first birthday, the day it bears date, and then was delivered to him. While in law school he earned his way working as a clerk in a law office in Chicago. After receiving his degree in law and while engaged in the practice of law, Mr. Greene took courses as he found time, covering a period of several years, at the University of Chicago, doing major work in the foreign languages, in several of which he has become proficient. He speaks Greek and French fluently. He is the secretary and a member of the Board of Directors of the Alliance Francaise of Chicago, associates with the Greeks of this city and often addresses their gatherings in their native tongue. He is very proud-of the fact that he is thoroughly a Philhellene. The University of Chicago Press is now publishing his work, "The Inverse Order System of Foreign Language Study," in French. The same in Greek will be ready for the press in a very short time. He contends that the real educational value of the acquisition of any foreign language lies almost wholly in the ability to speak and write it in original thought even the ancient languages; that a speaking knowledge is much easier to acquire and that all the present methods of study are practically useless as tending to dissipation of energy and mental slovenliness. Mr. Greene was engaged in the general practice of law from 1891 to 1906, when Mr. John J. Healy, then state's attorney of Cook County, asked him to take charge of the indictment department of that office. He continued in that 'very technical work, trying jury cases on behalf of the State between sessions of grand juries until Club, Garfield Lodge A. F. & A.

His work in the Municipal Court has kept him closely in touch with the managerial part of the court's functions, and has made him particularly expert in the law of procedure. He has drawn a number of laws that are now on the statute books, amending the Criminal Code, the Practice Code and laws that make for social betterment. He has attended every session of the Illinois Legislature in Springfield since he has been connected with the Municipal Court in working for better legislation. His work on Procedural Law will be ready for the press in a short time. Mr. Greene was married in 1895. He and Mrs. Greene have lived in Ravenwood ever since their marriage. They have one daughter, Miss Marjorie, who will graduate from Northwestern University next year. Mrs. Greene is a leader in philanthropic and social service work in the Methodist Church, of which they are members. For several years she has been president of the Northern District of the Home Missionary Society of that church.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 11, 1920 THOMPSONISM vs. LOWDENISM THE COLORED VOTERS OF CHICAGO AND COOK COUNTY ARE URGED TO MANFULLY STAND BY MAYOR WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON AND VOTE THE THOMPSON TICKET STRAIGHT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. By Hon. Edward H. Wright Republican Ward Committeeman, Second Ward. 390 HON. ROBERT E. CROWE, THE THOMPPSON CANDIDATE FOR STATE'S ATTORNEY OF COOK COUNTY. As your representative on the Republican County Central Committee of Cook County, it is fit and proper to discuss the issues that particularly affect us as citizens in the primary campaign that will end on September 15th so that we may have a thorough knowledge of the facts and not be led into voting against ourselves. In the election for committeemen last spring the people of Chicago settled by their ballots the question of leadership of the Republican party in Cook County by electing thirty-four out of thirty-five ward committeemen in Chicago, pledged to support the principles and policies advocated by Mayor William Hale Thompson. Five of the six country districts in Cook County but outside of Chicago also elected Thompson committeemen. The official managing committee of the Republican party, elected by the people, accordingly consisted of thirty-nine Thompson members and two anti-Thompson committeemen. In the County Convention which under the law must be held about ten days after the election for committeemen, each committeeman is entitled to cast one vote for each 50 votes cast for the Republican candidate for Governor in the last preceding election for that office. Accordingly the Second Ward, which I represent, was entitled to 282 votes in the County Convention, because of the large Republican vote it had cast in the election for Governor. I was made a member of the committee on resolutions in that convention and proposed a plank for the platform based on the 14th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, providing for the reduction in representation in the Electoral College and in Congress of every state that denied the right of suffrage to any American citizen. Every Thompson committeeman voted in favor of the plank it was made a part of the official platform of the Republican party of Cook County, under the law, delegated to the State Convention are elected by the County Convention and the recommendation of the Ward Committeeman is followed in such election. County were selected and instructed to work in the State Convention for the adoption of the platform adopted by the Cook County Republican Convention. The Committee on Resolutions of the State Convention is composed of twenty-five members—one from each congressional district in the State of Illinois. I was selected from the First Congressional District as its member of the Committee on Resolutions; Len Small, the present candidate for Governor supported by Mayor Thompson was selected from his congressional district as its member of the Committee on Resolutions. We both fought to have the Cook County platform, containing my plank, recommended to the convention for adoption by the Committee on Resolutions but every Lowden man on the committee voted against it and as the Lowden-Oglesby-Sherman-Deneen Brundage combination had a majority of the votes on the committee the platform was beaten in the committee. But the friends of Mayor Thompson took the fight to the floor of the convention and debated the question for nearly three hours, and I was honored by being selected as one of the speakers on the Thompson side to argue the case to the convention. On the vote to adopt the platform every Thompson man together with Len Small and his friends voted for it; every Lowden-Oglesby-Sherman-Deneen-Brundage delegate voted against it and defeated it and the Republican State Convention adjourned without adopting a platform notwithstanding that the law specifies among the duties of the State Convention that it "shall adopt a party platform." Oscar De Priest, Alderman Anderson, Alderman Jackson and every leader worthy of the name among our people aided in this fight in the State Convention to have the Republican party go on record in its platform in favor of supporting the plain provisions of the United States Constitution but wewers defeated by Governor Lowden and his political allies, including U. S. Senator Sherman, Lieut. Governor Oglesby, Ex-Governor Deneen and Attorney General Brundage. We did not stop there. The Repub lican National Convention was about to be held and we had elected for the first time in the history of Illinois, a colored man, Hon. Oscar De Priest as a delegate to the National Convention from the First Congressional District. We transferred our activities to the Republican National Convention and a delegation waited upon the Committee on Platform and urged that our plank be incorporated in the National Republican platform. Arguments were presented by several speakers from different parts of the country including Hon. Wm. H. Lewis of Boston, former Assistant U. S. Attorney General and myself. Again we were unsuccessful and the platform was reported to the Convention without this plank. On the floor of the Convention, Hon. Oscar De Priest took the floor and made a motion to amend the report of the Committee on Platform by adding the plank reducing southern representation in Congress and in the Electoral College. Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman made a point of order that under the rules of the Convention, all resolutions should be sent to the committee without reading and without debate. The point of order was sustained by the Chairman of the Convention and Mr. De Priest was unable to even get a vote upon his motion to insert this plank in the platform of our party. Senator Sherman was elected as Republican National Committeeman from Illinois by Governor Lowden and his political associates, as successor to William Hale Thompson, who had filled that place for the past four years. Senator Sherman commenced making his record against us as soon as he was elected National Committeeman. It cannot be truthfully maintained that he made the point of order against Mr. De Priest's motion because he opposed certain other planks in the Cook County Republican platform as no plank was involved in Mr. De Priest's motion but the plank relating to reduction of southern representation. The question therefore which confronts the colored voters of Illinois in the primaries next Wednesday, September 15, is "Which element do you [Name] HON. EDWARD H. WRIGHT. The Able and Brilliant Associate Counsel for the on Local Transportation, City of Chicago the Strongest Supporters of Mayor Thompson. HON.

The Able and Brilliant Associate Counsel for the Commission on Local Transportation, City of Chicago, and one of the Strongest Supporters of Mayor William Hale Thompson. HON. MORRIS ELLER, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR TRUSTEE OF THE SANITARY DISTRICT OF CHICAGO. The candidacy of Mr. Morris Eller for the Republican nomination as trustee of the Sanitary District is stirring very much interest among the citizens of Chicago, Cook County. The Republican organization of the city, which stands under the leadership of Mayor William Hale Thompson, has slated one of its cabinet members for the responsible position of Sanitary District trustee. Mr. Eller is a member of Mayor Thompson's Cabinet, filling the office of city sealer for the last five years with merit to himself and prestige to his superior. The very many practical innovations Mr. Eller has introduced in the execution of his duties as city sealer are the very best evidence of his sound business judgment and close attention to his public duties. Never before has the city sealer's office been conduced so efficiently and in such close contact with the purchasing retailer and ultimate consumer. Under his sedulus supervision, short weighing and measuring are continually on the decerase. His educational work among the various elements of peddler, huckster, and street merchant has resulted in developing a keen sense of commercial honesty amongst them. The large offenders know very well that Mr. Eller is a public official who will not countenance any semblance of irregularity on their part and must keep out of his jurisdiction. 1920 1 The Honest, Extremely Popular and Efficient Chicago; Republican Candidate for the Trustee of the Sanitary District of Chicago and Women can Vote for Him, at the nesday, September 15.

Mr. Eller earnestly solicits the support of all Chicagoans and requests their vote at the primaries on Wednesday, September 15. Both men and women can vote for this office. The present administration of the Sanitary District has been a continual orgy of maladministration and scandals. It must be supplanted by a reliable personnel, and you should do your share to place the Sanitary District in the hands of trustworthy officials by voting for Morris Eller for Sanitary District Trustee on the Republican primary ballot. Mr. Eller lives with his family at 1301 S. Peoria street, has lived in Chicago since September 22, 1882. He belongs to Pleiades Lodge No. 478, A. F. & A. M., Wiley M. Egan Chapter No. 126, R. A. M. Miley Lodge No. 4 and the Elks. Mr. Eller has always been friendly disposed towards the colored race and every colored man and woman who has faith in Mayor William Hale Thompson will record their votes in favor of his nomination for one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago. ```markdown ``` and Efficient City Sealer, of Candidate for the Nomination for District of Chicago; Both Men Him, at the Primaries Wed- 1945 HON.

Congressman Heflin was indicted for his bulldozing conduct and the charges or cases against him were continued from time to time or for eight years and then they were dropped after the Democratic party was ushered into power at Washington, D.

As Congressman Mason had the courage to stand up in the halls of Congress and tell Congressman Heflin to his face just what he thought of him and let him know that he could not be considered a first-class gentleman and a great statesman and as Congressman mason is one of the most loyal friends of the colored race, therefore every colored man and woman throughout the State of Illinois should on Wednesday, September 15, primary day, assist to renominate him for Congressman-at-large from Illinois. upon what one can get, but what one can give.

CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 11, 1920 HARDING REBUKES CANDIDATE FOR VICE PRESIDENT "I Will not Empower an Assistant Secretary of the Navy to Draft a Constitution for Helpless Neighbors of the West Indies and Jam it down Their Throats at the Point of Bayonets," Says the Republican Candidate. Democrats in Last Extremity claim that the League of Nations Is Salvaged by an Assistant Secretary of the Navy, who Wrote a Constitution for the Black Republic of Haiti, and by so doing gained another Questionable Vote in the Council of the Covenant. Without discounting the miserable flasco of Candidate Cox and his Sancho Panza Moore in their combined attempt to show that the Republican party had collected exorbitant sums for the conduct of the campaign, the sensation of the week is the rebuke dealt out in a dignified way to Frankie D. Roosevelt and the Wilson administration by Senator Harding himself. Grasping at any straw that would afford a semblance of keeping afloat the discredited covenant of the League of Nations, Frankie Democratic Roosevelt, in a fit of verbal pyrotechnics, admitted that he had written the reprehensible constitution of the Negro Republic of Haiti; that he had so jugged the verbage to leave the United States with a sort of protectorate that destroyed the vaunted "self-determination" of peoples, and had forced it down the throats of the natives of that country in broken doses, as it were. Hoped for Indorsement. Frankie D., possibly without consulting or considering the American sentiment of justice, went out to the people of the great West and declared that there should be no loss of sleep about the fact that England had six votes to America's one, because he, Frankie D., had applied the trust Democratic ethics and stolen from the Negroes of Haiti their rights under the League of Nations, if it should be adopted. Strange to say this singular anomaly of a statesman was proud of his "achievement," and bragged about it. He ran rampant up and down the hustings proclaiming that he had saved the covenant by robbing the Negroes. That there never was a more retroactive assumption in politics everybody will agree. It is not enough for the American people to accept the League of Nations simply because Frankie D. had written the constitution of Haiti, and by so doing had stolen just one more vote, which would bring the voting power of the United States up to just one-third of that which England would possess in the council of the part. He has failed to explain just where he would get the other four votes, but it is supposed that he had located other South American chickencoops, which he might visit under cover of darkness. In other words, Frankie D. contemplates salvage of the League of Nations by makking himself boss writer of constitutions for unsuspecting republics. Harding Uncovers Frankie D. However, the loquacious Democratic candidate for Vice-President reckoned without his host. He was not per- Portsmouth, Va.—If you have never made a world then you don't know how one is made and if you could make one where would you find space to hang it without intruding on God's world, and I am sure you would not like to do this, for it would be a case of an irristible force coming in contact with an immovable body. While I have been contented with this old world ever since I struck it the first time, yet I am not satisfied, and don't mind telling you so for there are so many things in it I do not understand, and may never understand. For you take right here in my own country there is such a difference in the civilization. Today, I am in a section of the country where I can walk, speak and act like a man, and tomorrow I am in a place where I have to go way back and sit down or get up near the baggage and engine and there remain until I reach my destination. I have just decided that you may heap upon me all the laws you please, just or unjust, but they shall not crush my manhood. When I get up I will still be here. But I never will not down. a man. But I must not down. Since I wrote to you about the National Negro Business League and what happened in Philadelphia, then I put out to take a vacation which I really did. I went to New York City, but did not tarry there long. You see I had made up my mind to go to a new place, and that is hard for me to do since I left the farm to go out and try to write for newspapers. At any rate, I spent the night at the home of Mrs. Hyland in New York, and bright and early the next morning I was up and on my way to 19th street where I was to get on a boat going up that Hudson River. Have you ever been up the Hudson? If not I wish you would make mitted to get away with his remarkable proposition, and to add to the interest of the denouement he was called down by no less a personage than Senator Warren G. Harding, who will be the next President of the United States. The robuko is a gem of direct logic and knocks Frankie D. from the lofty pedestal of his personal estimate of his accomplishment and dorps him into the mire of public contempt. In his speech at Marion on the League of Nations, Senator Harding paid his respects to what Frankie D. is so proud of in this wise: "Now, it may appear to you that I have been speaking chiefly in the negative. I make the admission. What is more, I might continue to do so almost indefinitely without disadvantage to our cause. So many things have been done by the present expiring administration' that no power on earth could induce me to do, that I cannot attempt to recount them. I may remark casually, however, that if I should be, as I expect to be, elected President of this just and honorable Republic, I will not empower an assistant secretary of the navy to draft a constitution for helpless neighbors in the West Indies and jam it down their throats' at the point of bayonets borne by the United States marines. We have a higher service for our gallant marines than that. Nor will I misuse the power of the executive to cover with a veil of secrecy repeated acts of unwarranted interference in the demotic affairs of the little republics of the Western Hemisphere, such as in the past few years have not only made enemies of those who should have been our friends, but have rightly discredited our country as their trusted neighbor." Democrats Responsible. Democrats Responsible. The exploitation of the colored Republic of Haiti under the Wilson administration, enforced by marines directed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic candidate for Vice-President is a blot upon civilization only equalled in recent years by the Germanic oppression of the Belgians. Natives to the number of 3,000 have been shot down because they opposed the occupation of the Americans of their country and the supervision and expenditure of their customs receipts by the Wilson administration. Magazine have been full of the activities of Franklin D. Roosevelt's work in Haiti. Condemnation by lovers of justice has been unreserved. Self determination has been thrown to the discard, still miserable parody upon a great name is proud of it, and boasts that his peculiar style of constitution saves the League of Nations. the trip some time and you will just look your fool brains out at them fine and pretty things, which we come in touch with there. You just look and look until your eyes are sore, and That boat toted me to Albany, and there I change to the iron horse carriage, headed for Saratoga Springs, New York, and this was a real new wrinkle for me, for I went there just to and to be the guest of Joseph S. McLane, the headwaiter of the Grand Union Hotel, the largest in the country of its kind. He knew that I was coming and had a committee to meet me at the stable when I stepped off at the stable there was a committee representing Mr. McLane waiting to receive me. They started up the street with me and before we had gone far, we met Mr. McLane coming with a smile on his face. Now to the hotel, where I found my room in order, and a large stack of fruit waiting to be sent into my fruit eternity. I did not hesitate to send it there, but was right there with the goods. I was soon out for supper, and after supper I strolled around and got some of that water boiling up out of the ground. They talk about race horses, but that water will just put you in trim for a race yourself. I just looked and looked. I was introduced to many men, and they looked at me. I met the man who was to be my headwaiter during my stay there. Mr. Simma, and he is a prince when it comes to entertaining. I just tried to eat up all there was in the hotel. I ate until I thought I would buss open, but did not buss. I know you are interested in all that happened. In the afternoon in company with Mr. Simms we went out to see the horses run. I had not been to this place before and do not want you to think that I have fallen from grace. I did not bet, but believe me honey I saw some horses run. I am not going to enter into all the details for it will not be your business. Mr. McLane is a great man and he certainly knows how to make and keep friends, and I want to congratulate the management of the hotel on being able to get and hold a man like that. He is just the ticket and the one ordered by the doctor. Getting through with all them things I pulled back to New York, and spent the night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Satterwhite. They have nice quarters and made me as welcome as the flowers in May. It was just like receiving a relative. I was so glad to have this pleasure. Next found me away from New York, for Philadelphia, where I spent a night with Mr. and Mrs. Gaines, and then off to Washington to spend a night with Dr. W. H. Jernagin, and now you see I am in this place. I came down here to be with the Lott-Carey Foreign Mission Convention, which is destined to be the leading missionary organization in this country among my people, and I am sure you don't mind having me tell you so. I reached her a little ahead of time, and found my way to Richmond first, where our wagon was late on account of a washout. I did not mind that washout, but waiting for time, and get to town, called up Levi C. Brown, and soon his car was right down to the doek to receive me and to tote me over to his home where a real dinner was waiting for me. I sent it into my own eternity, and then looked around and had a swim in his spacial bath tub and went to bed. Sunday morning I was up looking for my trunks and other things, and when I put them I went to church where I was the preacher. It was the First Baptist Church, Brighton, and at night I was the guest of Rev. M. E. Davis, pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church, Norfolk, where I made a preach. I enjoyed this so very much. Heretofore I have been going alone, but this time I was met by Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart, the wife of Charles Stewart, and she informed me that he had requested her to come along to report what I was doing. While I told her I was my own porter and could port for myself, yet I accepted her and she has been spending a week watching me, and I have been walking the chalk line and there is not any chalk on my feet. Now about this Lott Carey convention. They met and the presiding officer was Rev. C. S. Brown, D. D., of Winton, N. C., a fine man believe me honey. He makes a good presiding officer and then he is directing men to the point of doing more than talk. The convention met raised money, reported on missionary work done, and then heard from missionaries from Africa. Now they say they are going to do more. I believe what I heard about the convention for they selected one of the leading men in the whole country, Rev. A. A. Graham, D. D., of Phebus, Va., and made him the regular corresponding secretary to take charge of all the missionary work under the direction of the convention. He is going to resign his church and give his whole time to the work. He is one of the strongest and best men in the country, and there was no mistake made in his selection. Lott Carey is to be a power in this country, and Dr. Graham is going to put it on the map. He is a great preacher, and then he has some real good business sense to back it up. These men are determined to bring things to pass. They are doing their literary work through the other conventions, many of them belong to the National Baptist Convention, and will go from here to that big body, and others will go direct home. I enjoyed being here, and will turn away from here to another part of the world. Time will not permit me to tell you about all the men in this convention, but just one or two of them will do. I am proud of the good work going on in this country. But let me pause here, and pay a tribute to one of the great ministers who has fallen asleep in death, Dr. John Francis Thomas, of Chicago, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church and one of the most honored men in the country. He was a man with a vision, and then I am here to tell you that he was a great preacher. He has been declining since the death of his son, Willie. He lived well yesterday, and has led thousands into the water. He made his reputation as a preacher in Kentucky. The class of old men are passing out. Will the young men measure up? I am informed that Lawyer W. H. Harrison is now going to enter the ministry and will be the pastor of Ebenezer. I do not know this to be true. It comes through rumor. I will stop here. LOTS! LOTS!

Both Men and Women can vote for him three times at the Primaries, Wednesday September 15. In the First Senatorial District, there are 7 men (2 white and 5 colored) candidates for the Republican nomination for Representative in the next General Assembly. Their names, as they will appear on the ballot are: MAX SCHMIDT (white) SHEADRICK B. TURNER JAMES T. BREWINGTON WILLIAM M. BRINKMAN (white) BENJAMIN H. LUCAS ROBERT W. LACEY WALTER J. LUNEY Only two can be nominated. Each voter has three votes. He can give all three votes to one candidate by marking a cross (X) in the square in front of the name of that candidate. Give Sheardrick B. Turner three votes by marking a cross in the square in front of his name, and no other. Danger.—If you do not give Sheadrick B. Turner your three votes, it is likely the votes of colored people will be so scattered that the two white men will win, and we will have no Representative in the Legislature. Mr Turner is the only colored candidate who can win. Rumor.—It is rumored and understood in political circles that the other colored candidates are running for no other purpose than to divide the colored vote, and make it possible to elect two white men. Sheadrick B. Turner has been a member of the Legislature twice. In the last Legislature he was a member of the important Judiciary Committee, which passes on all bills affecting or changing the Laws of this State. He is the only colored candidate who has any chance of being placed on that committee if elected. We need a man on that committee. Only lawyers are appointed on that committee and Mr. Turner is the only lawyer among the colored candidates. Sheadrick B.

The Legislative Voters' League does not like Sheadrick B. Turner, and it does not like you. Mr. Turner does not believe the Legislative Voters' League is friendly to colored people, and will not vote as they dictate. He refuses to sign their pledges, and they do not know how he will vote when he goes in. Hence their opposition to him. They wanted Mr. Turner to vote for House Bill No. 29, which sought to make it unlawful in Illinois for white and colored people to live in the same house. Sheadrick B. Turner is one of the most widely known and best liked colored men in Illinois, and his influence and the respect in which he is held are great accordingly. He is able to accomplish things for his people and for the general welfare, and we need him in the Legislature. Assistance at the Polls.—If you are not sure that you know how to give Sheadrick B. Turner your Three votes, ask the Judges at the polls for assistance; tell them you want to give Sheadrick B. Turner Three votes; see that they make a cross in the square in front of his name, and no other mark; then you mark the rest of your ballot. Mr. Turner introduced nine bills in the last general assembly and sacrificed them in order to receive votes enough to kill bill No. 155 sponsored by Governor Lowden, which had for its purpose segregation of the colored people. Mr. Turner was successful in defeating this measure. One of the candidates, Mr. Benjamin H. Lucas, voted for a resolution submitting to the people the proposition for a new constitutional convention which was the most dangerous measure that has happened to our race in this State for 40 years. You desire a man in the Legislative Hall who can_n and will protect your political, personal, and property rights. If so vote for Sheadrick B. Turner. Primaries Wednesday, September 15.

He was the wide awake son of James and Bridget (Bolger) Carr, who were well known to the old time citizens of Chicago. As he advanced towards ripe boyhood he sold news- papers for nine years, at the same time saving his money, which was expended to assist to edueate him, and after com- pleting his edueation in the grammar school in this city, he entered the De La Salle Institute, finally graduating from it with high honors. On August 9, 1905, Mr. Carr was hap- pily united in marriage to Miss Agnes MeAnley, and they are the proud and happy parents of one highly accom- plished daughter, Miss Margaret Carr. They reside in a pleasant home at 3508 8. Western avenue. Seemingly it was just as natural for Ms. Carr to take to polities as it is fot dueks to take to water, and for more than six years he was one of the honest sidewalk inspectors for the city of Chieago, and moving forward or on up in political affgirs he was elected three consecutive times.

ANDERSON If elected to the Legislature, I shall introduce and endeavor to have passed, the following laws which I deem of vital importance to my people residing in the Third Senatorial District, and elsewhere in Illinois: Platform 1. I am unqualifiedly in favor of the repeal of the notorious "public utilities law," which enabled a few men to arbitrarily increase our street and elevated railroad fares from 5 cents to 8 and 10 cents respectively. Under this same law the Utilities Commission can further raise the fares to 15, or even 25 cents, and the public have no redress. The power to increase street and elevated railroad fares should vest in the Common Councils of each Municipality. 2. I am in favor of a law which will prevent street car and elevated railroad companies from overcrowding their cars. During rush hours the companies should be compelled to put on extra cars in order to provide seats for every one. Heavy penalties should be provided for overcrowding cars, and failure to put on sufficient cars during rush hours. 3. I am in favor of the repeal of the obnoxious "Search and Seizure Law" enacted by the last legislature. Under this law invasion of your home is permitted under certain conditions. 4. I am stronely opposed to segregation, or any law tending to abridge or limit, the rights of my people, and I would oppose most vigorously any such law if introduced. I believe that a colored man has the absolute legal right to live where his money will permit him to buy or rent, and that he should not be deprived of this Constitutional privilege as long as he behaves himself as a gentleman. 5. I am in favor of a law which will prevent exorbitant prices being charged for the rental of houses and flats. Houses and flats should by law be held to be public necessities, and the rental thesof should be controlled by a commission, duly empowered to pass on any complaint arising from exorbitant rentals. Suppose all landlords should come together and decide to double your rent, and demand possession if you do not comply, where would you get relief? 6. Am in favor of the enactment of an amendment to our Divorce Law. In cases where there are children, divorces should not be granted until the children HON. CARL R. CHINDBLOM Republican Candidate for Re-nomination to Congress, from the Tenth Congressional District from Illinois; Prof. W. W. Fisher, Revs. Jones, Reeves and Thomas and the majority of the leading Colored citizens in Evanston and along the North Shore, are favorable to his candidacy and will vote for him at the Primaries, Wednesday, September 15. Congressman Chindblom always votes with Martin B. Madden, against Jim Crow legislation. have reached their majority, unless the husband or wife, as the case may be has absolutely and positively deserted the other. 7. I am in favor of amending the law on extradition, so that no citizen can be arbitrarily rushed out of Illinois into another State without giving such person a chance to defend himself. The party sought to be extradited should be held by the sheriff in the County Jail for at least twenty four hours before the officer of the demanding State could legally take the prisoner away on the Governor's warrant. An incident of the abuse in this regard is seen in the case of a prominent citizen of Chicago, who was met on Clark street near Washington five years ago, at about 5 p. m. by a county constable who was accompanied by the Governor's agent of Mississippi. The constable meeting the citizen on the street read the Governor's warrant to him, told him he was under arrest, put hand-cuffs on him and immediately turned him over to the Governor's agent of Mississippi. At 6:30 o'clock the good citizen of Chicago found himself on a train speeding for Mississippi. He was held in Mississippi for three months before he finally proved that he was not the man wanted in Mississippi for this offense. Had he been able to procure a writ of habeas corpus he could have proven his innocence here in Chicago without being down into Mississippi and sacrificing three months of his liberty also. The Governor's warrant should be delivered to, held and executed only by the Sheriff of Cook County. Every person should be allowed a reasonable length of time to procure a lawyer for the purpose of contesting the right of any State to return him to that State for an alleged violation of any law, but as the law now stands, no one, whether black or white, can prevent an immediate removal to another State unless he should be fortunate enough to procure a writ of habeas corpus before he leaves the boundary line of Illinois. In some cases men have been hurriedly taken out of Illinois and when they reach the State demanding their return, either hanged on the nearest telegraph pole, or burned at the stake. This is not right and should not be countenanced in the great State of Illinois. 8: I am in favor of a law compelling THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO. SEPTEMBER 11, 1920 CONGRESSMAN CARL R. CHINDBLOM all police officers and constables to book a prisoner within two hours after making the arrest. No officer has any legal or moral right to detain a citizen without booking him or her and giving him a chance to procure bail, if the case is a bailable one. Sometimes prisoners are kept in dark, dirty and filthy cells without being booked 24 to 48 hours. This is wrong and should not be countenanced in a great State like Illinois. I am in favor of amending the present civil rights law of Illinois. There are loopholes in the law at present which gives the white man opposed to serving a Negro just because he is a Negro too great an advantage. The law should be made more stringent and I believe my past experience as a technical lawyer would help bring about such a law which would give my people greater advantages than they now enjoy. Personal History. W. G. Anderson was born in New Orleans, La., on April 27, 1870, and came to Chicago, August 1, 1882. He attended the old Scammon Grammar School on W. Monroe street and at the age of fifteen he became law clerk and stenographer to Judge John Barton Payne and Gilbert E. Porter. At the age of twenty-one he became the stenographer of Hon. Roger C. Sullivan, then Clerk of Probate Court, which position he held for four years, when he was admitted to the Illinois Bar. He is President of Royal Eagle "High Twelve" Club, and a member of Royal Eagle Lodge U. D. F. & A. M.; Trustee of Great Lakes Lodge No. 43 I. B. P. O. Elks of the World; John C. Buckner Lodge No. 9606 G. U. O. F.; Semper Fidelis Lodge No. 3 K. of P. E. & W. H.; Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of the World. Among the well-known cases tried by Mr. Anderson are the celebrated Capt. George Wellington Streeter case of "Decrestit of Lake Michigan" fame and who claims to own a part of the lake front, whose discharge from the Jolet Penitentiary Attorney Anderson procured after a hard, long fought battle in Judge Dunne's Court, single-handed and alone; the celebrated Banker Chas. Warren Spalding case; the Jack Dennison murder case; the celebrated Steven Green extradition case; the $300,000 bail reduction case for Jack Johnson. Mr. Anderson is well-known as a race man and has done much for his people. Among the several thousand well-known business and professional men who have endorsed W. G. Anderson for Representative, are the following: Jos. Wade, Express, Coal and Wood George Russell, Garage. Dan Gaions, Cigarn. A. F. Tervalon, Cigar Maker. Dr. Clifton T. Nichol, Dentist. Dr. Gordon H. Jackson. Napoleon Williams, Restaurant. Dr. Shell. S. C. Branch, Cleaning & Dyeing. F. B. Jones, Employment Agt. George Mills, Barber. If you approve of the candidacy of W. G. Anderson give him three votes by voting for him alone. But if you wish to vote for one of the other c candidates also, vote for W. G. Anderson as well, which will give Mr. Anderson 1½ votes.—Adv. WITH SAYS RISK MAN TOOK CHANCE ON DAYS: SUSS Alleging that her husband, Edward H. Dark, wealthy insurance man of Indianapolis, had beaten her on a number of occasions and had threatened her life three different times, and now had a "lady friend," Mrs. Bird A. Dark through her attorney, Benedict J. Short, has filed suit for divorce in the Circuit Court. Mrs. Dark asserts that on Jan. 3, 1916, he threatened to kill her with a revolver, being stopped each time by a policeman. In addition Mrs. Dark declares her husband is now infatulated with one "Daisy," 2416 Talbot street, Indianapolis. The Darks have two children, Margaret Allene, 7, and Edward Jr., 4. They were married on Oct. 23, 1911, and separated July 25, 1920. CONGRESSMAN CARL Hon. Carl R. Chindblom, Republican candidate for re-nomination for Congress from the Tenth Congressional District of Illinois, was born in this city on the 21st day of December, 1870. He obtained his general education in the public schools of Chicago and at Augustana College, Rock Island, Ill., being graduated from the latter institution in 1890. After spending a few years at teaching, he took up the study of law and was graduated from Kent College of Law at Chicago in 1898. Since that time he has been engaged in the general practice of his profession in Chicago, and is now a member of the law firm of Brecher and Chindblom, with offices at 69 W. Washington street. He has resided in the 10th Congressional District and in the 26th Ward of Chicago for nearly twenty years, his home being at 1744 Foster avenue. His family consists of his constant and devoted wife, Mrs. Chindblem and their two lovely children. He has been an active Republican HON. JAMES A. SCOTT True merit should be the determining factor that entitles men to the public confidence. Worthy men are always modest men because intelligence has no disposition to blow its own horn of fitness choosing rather to serve the world of its day leaving entirely to others the task of commending that service. Just such an individual in the Hon. James A. Scott who is pow a candidate for a Municipal Court Judge Mr. Scott has lived in Chicago for more than thirty years and has always been actively engaged in the practice of the law at the Chicago Bar and has won the respect of the judges of the various courts and of the lawyers generally who have had the good fortune to know him. He is a man of intelligence and learned in the law, is courteous and affable choosing under the most adverse circumstances always to be a gentleman first. His belief in justice is unimpaired by selfishness on class hatred being assured from experience that the greatest safety of the nation lies in the fullest protection of all of its citizens regardless of any other considerations of difference. The doctrine of fullest freedom of the individual citizen under the law meets his entire approval and his confidence in the supreme will of all the people is without taint. Mr. Scott sprang from the loins of the common people and shares their feelings without any desire to proscribe those who have been more fortunate at birth, believing that lowly birth may inconvenience but should not deter the individual citizen to ultimately share the greatest glories of this nation. His long and varied experience at the Bar and his thorough understanding of people together with his ability as a lawyer and his temperament eminently fits him to do credit to the bench in Chicago, thus reflecting upon the race which nature gave him and the people of Chicago generally since his belief in justice is without a racial lining. Thus must be needs be for he learned early in life at the Bar in Mississippi how hateful is colorful justice which undertakes to draw a line between races and classes meting out one kind of justice to one class of individuals and another kind to another class of individuals thus rendering good government impossible and making the law an object of public contempt. Mr. Scott believes in one justice for all men and that a just-justice administered in the interest of the good of all and with a willingness though kindness to achieve the ends sought. Mr. Scott is the author of Scott on Interstate Bendition which is one of the most valuable and useful law books in existence at the present time and it is freely admitted by the most eminent lawyers residing in all parts of this country that there is no abler text on the subject in the United States. For four long years Mr. Scott, honorably served as assistant state's attorney under the late John E. W. Wayman and as such he acquitted himself well and honorably. During the trial of the riot cases, in this city in 1919, more particularly, the Washington. Scott and Brown for twenty-five years and during this period has been in large demand as a public speaker, not only for political, but also for patriotic and benevolent activities. In 1806 and 1900 he campaigned as a speaker for the Republican National Committee in Illinois and other states. In 1906 he served as attorney for the Illinois State Board of Health; in 1907-1910 he was a member of the Board of County Commissioners of Cook County, and in 1912-1914 he was County Attorney of Cook County. Prior to his election to Congress in 1918, he honorably served as Master in Chancery of the Circuit Court. Congressman Chindblom is liberal or fair minded at all times, he is sound on the "Race Question," he stands very high in the estimation of the colored people residing in his district and they will assist to renominate him at the primaries Wednesday, September 15, so that he will be able to make his second successful race for Congress from the 10th Congressional District of Illinois—Adv. cases, Mr. Scott distinguished himself as a good citizen and an able barrister not in seeking to shield crime, or criminals, but in insisting on a fair administration of justice. He gave six months of his time to these various cases and did his duty well and without complaining with little hope of reward in view except in doing a duty which was well rendered. Mr. Scott has for many years been happily married and he and his good and lovable wife, Mrs. Scott, reside at 3710 Prairie avenue, he is the father of one son, James A. Scott, Jr., and Mr. Scott is also the proud father of one married daughter who resides in Miss. Mr. Scott stands at the head of the law firm of Scott, Brown & Marshall, consisting of himself, Mr. G. W. P. Brown and Mr. Eugene J. Marshall, with law offices at 3439 S. State street. Mr. Scott has always been full of race pride and for many years he has been a constant supporter of this paper, and for our part we are proud of him and we honestly feel that none of the citizens of this city will make any mistake by voting for his nomination as one of the Republican candidates for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago. WHAT'S BULL? G. O. P. COIN WIZARD GIVES REED NEW DEFINITION. What is "bull" as the term is commonly used? Fred W. Upham, treasurer of the republican national committee characterized some statements in the Republican "Official Bulletin" as "bull." His assistant, Harry M. Blair, financial wizard of Red Cross, Liberty Loan, War Camp Community, Roosevelt Memorial, and Y. M. C. A. drives, who said his fame depended on money instead of piety, used the same term, in testifying before the Senatorial committee. "Do you mean to say this statement is a lie?" demanded Senator Reed. "Bull is expanded truth," answered Blair, while everybody in Judge Page's courtroom, where the Senator slush fund hearing is going on, shouted. Even the austere Senator Reed joined in the mirth. "I'm glad to get an official definition," he said. "I took it to be bull con, bunk—lies." ITALIAN'S CROWE CLUB FORMED.
