CONGRESSMAN MARTIN B. MADDEN CONGRATULATES PRESIDENT-ELECT HARDING ON HIS GREAT VICTORY AT THE POLLS ON TUESDAY. No one at the present writing can fully portray or estimate the far reaching results of the outcome of the Presidential election held on Tuesday, it seems that the vast majority of the American people would have been perfectly willing to have voted for the Hon. Warren G. Harding for President of the United States even if he had been as dark in the face as the ace of spades, in order to duck out from under the League of Nations, even the people residing in such hard-shell Democratic states as Tennessee, Arizona and Oklahoma finally broke away from the solid South and their electoral votes were transferred over in the Republican column, the old mossback Democrats residing in those states at last concluded that in the end it would be far better for them to face about and vote with what they have always been pleased to call the Negro loving Republicans rather than to continue to march under the banner of the Democratic party, headed by President Woodrow Wilson and the other present leaders of that party, for it was the first time since 1868, that the majority of the bat-eyed people residing in Tennessee permitted themselves to vote in favor of permitting the Republicans to conduct the affairs of this government. It seems that they in common with millions of Democrats in all parts of this country were fully determined to side step Hon. James M. Cox, his godfather, President Wilson, and all of his wet nurses who are or were in favor of permitting England to enjoy six votes in the League of Nations to one vote for America, at the same time old hog all England wanted this coun- Thefollowing is a copy of a letter which has been forwarded to Hon. Warren G. Harding at Marion, Ohio, by Hon. Martin B. Madden: Chicago, November 3, 1920. Honorable Warren G. Harding, President-elect of the United States, Marion, Ohio. My dear Senator Harding: I am so happy at the outcome I hardly know what to say about it. It does not surprise me at all because for the last three months it seemed to me that everybody had decided what they were going to do. It is evident they are for America, and they want an American policy that there can be no doubt. The verdict expresses the confidence of the country in your Ameri- JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, SEEB MARCH OF KLUX KLAN. Jacksonville, Fla.—Five hundred members of the Ku Klux Klan marched through the streets of Jacksonville last Saturday night following the "flaming cross emblem of the order supposedly" "as a warning to Negroes to attempt no lawlessness at the polls. The parade of the white masked klan was staged despite request from national Negro organizations sent to the local police department, city officials, and to state officials at Tallahassee. try to furnish her with all the money, all the guns and with all the soldiers she needed and then she would be in a far better position to bully or lord it over the United States and with American soldiers, guns and money she could continue to wage bloody war against her enemies at the expense of the United States. Those were the heavy straws which finally broke the camal's back and caused the greatest landslide that has so far occurred in the political history of America, at the same time sending the National Democratic party to the scrap heap for many years to come for after March 1, 1921, true or one hundred per cent Americanism will be the order of the day and this government will once more be placed on a peace footing and not on a war footing. It is estimated that after the votes are all counted up in all parts of this broad land that President-Elect Harding will have a plurality of almost seven million and that he will have more than four hundred votes in the electoral college; that he has carried thirty-seven or thirty-eight states one or two of them with majorities reaching over one million, the grand old State of Illinois gave him almost nine hundred thousand majority. The electoral votes throughout the Union were divided as follows between Hon. Warren G. Harding and James M. Cox: | | HARDING | COX | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Electoral vote. | Plur- ality. | Electoral vote. Plur- ality. | | Alabama | 3 | 12 00,00 | | Arizona | 3 | 5,000 9 65,000 | | Arkansas | 13 | 350,000 9 65,000 | | Colorado | 6 | 20,000 | | Connecticut | 7 | 112,000 | canism. You are of course to be congratulated, but the thing is so overwhelming that that seems superfluous. The election places a great responsibility on your shoulders. The Republican party will be expected to make good. Co-operation will be an essential need in the success of your administration. The work of the administration must embrace a policy broad enough to justify the verdict. It should include:— Service to the people without distinction. No entangling alliances with foreign nations. Assumption of the Nation's place in masked men rode through the street warning motorists to get their autos to the curbs. One of the men carried a bugle which he blew at intervals. The other made this announcement: "We are a band of determined men and will brook no interference." The main body of the parade was afoot. Crowds watched them from the curb. All the marchers were silent, the only messages being delivered on banners: "We were here yesterday." "We are here forever." "Duty. Fearless and without reproach." Negroes were scarce. Few witnessed the carriage. There was no disorder. Here in Illinois the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Daily News and all the evil or secret forces covered behind them waged a most bitter fight against Hon. Len Small and his friend and backer, Mayor William Hale Thompson, in spite of the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Daily News and the other bitter enemies of the common people Hon. Len Small was elected Governor of Illinois by almost five hundred thousand majority and he has already solemnly promised to administer all of the affairs of this great state in the interest of all of its citizens. world affairs as approved by the people and directed by our own Government. A patriotism that knows no turning in war or peace. A Nation of laws and not of men. God grant you health and strength to lead America forward to her proper destiny, to preserve her for the generations yet to come, protect her independence, and make her the beacon light to lead the way in world thought and commerce. To co-operate with you in the great work before you will be my greatest pleasure. Cordially and sincerely yours, Martin B. Madden. The city officials of Jacksonville should be imprisoned for permitting a band of outlaws and cutthroats to boldly march through its streets without attempting to arrest them or shooting them down in cold blood. The colored newspapers are always boosting or publishing something complimentary about preachers' doings, but strange as it may seem, few if any of the preachers ever say a word from their pulpits about the colored newspapers. Can you tell us why? Rev. and Mrs. W. D. Cook have removed from 3155 Calumet avenue into their own home at 4733 Evans avenue. [Blank space below image] HON. CALVIN COOLIDGE. GEORGE RIGHLEM, FATHER OF NEW COUNTY JUDGE, DIES. George Righeimer, father of Frank S. Righeimer, Cook County's Judge Eletc, died Thursday at his home, 147 N. Lockwood avenue. He was 66 years old. Mr. Righeimer was born in New York State in 1854 and came to Chicago with his parents in 1856. In 1881 he married Lucy S. Stahl, who survives him. He was for many years head of the grocery firm of Righeimer & Co. SCENE OF RACE BIOT QUIET NEGROES DESERT REGION. Orlando, Fla., Nov. 4.—Reports night from Oceoe, near here, where an election day race riot caused the death of two white men and a number of Negroes, indicated that quiet prevailed and that practically all Negroes had left the region, nearly all of them afoot, as there was no exodus by rail.

Twenty families fled to the street in panic early Thursday when a mysterious bomb was touched off in the entrance to the three-story apartment building at 3710 Grand blvd. The entrance was destroyed and windows within a half a block were blown in. The owner of the building is Charles L.

Most of the jobs are for work by the day. Other jobs are in domestic service, factories, and stores. “We found that we were getting hold of = lot of untrained, ignorant girls who did not know anything about our customs and the things they were being asked to do, so we started an educational department two years ago.

Dear Sir: I beg to submit the following complaints, which are illegal and unpatriotic, that is existing now in Cook County, T. B. Hospital, Oak Forest, Ill., that ex-Negro service men are lodged in a separate cottage, that ex-Negro service men are eating at separate tables in dining hall than whites. That in such manner, these men are cut short of what is coming to their share. To have mothers and sisters to realize that we fought for democracy, I beg that you send an investigator out as soon as possible. You will notice that in meals, that our service men are in a separate place than the white service men. Our men are in Cottage No. 1, Ward No. 4. Whites are in Cottage No. 9, Ward No. 1. Visiting hours are from 10:30 to 11:30 a. m., from 3 to 6 p. m. Hoping that you will let your influence be felt, as I have consulted Dr. Willeman, the head physician myself and he told me that it was a ruling. This I am not able to understand, that is, how a ruling can overpower our law. Very truly, SIMON J. WILLIAMS, Ex-Service Man. BLAIN WHAILY, Cottage No. 1, T. B. Hospital, Oak Forest, Ill. Chicago, Ill., October 30, 1920. Hon. Peter Reinberg and Members County Board. Gentlemen: I am sending you the enclosed letter calling your attention to the cruel and un-American treatment of the colored ex-soldiers who are forced by circumstances over which God Almighty alone has control, to go to the County Institution for care and comfort in their war worn and distressful condition. They fought side by side with their white comrade and fell side by side, surely justice and American treatment ought to be given them in these, their last days, when the government of our nation has so soon forgotten their service and sacrifices in the late war in defense of the honor of our country and its flag. As a soldier, a citizen and a tax payer, I protest against the discrimination stated in this letter of complaint and I ask in the name of the people of this county that these men be treated as American citizens and not as inferiores and beggars. No color or race prejudice should exist, nor for a moment be tolerated in our public institutions and the good name of Cook County should be protected from this stain upon her escutcheon and I trust that your Honorable Board will answer this American demand.

STUMP, THE NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT, HAS SPENT SOME TIME IN WENDING HIS WAY THROUGH TEXAS, OKLAHOMA, ARKANSAS AND KANSAS. Wichita, Kansas. I can hear the heart of Governor Cox beat Tuesday evening when the verdict of the country is read to him, consigning Senator Warren G. Harding to the White House, Washington, D. C., for four years, and asking President Woodrow Wilson to retire to private life, which he will do. There is going to be a clean sweep of it, and I am so proud that but few of my people jumped the track this time, but I don't know what they are or what the consideration was, but it must have been "In God We Trust." I called to see Grand Peribe Chester E. Bush, who is truly the son of his father, and who is doing a great work in the Mosaic Templars of America. He is stricly a business man, and it is frotunate that we have such a strong man at the head of the business end of that great organization. The membership is on the increase and much good is being accomplished. Last week, I had the pleasure of going into Oklahoma, and looking around there. I met the Baptists there for a few hours, and what I said to them What is in you will come out and come out in full fledge, hence it is not surprising that Governor Cox, after he had talked and talked about what was being spent by the Republicans in the campaign and tried in every way to get a real speech of a statesman to interest the people in his cause, he failed, and then he got down to the level of the common peanut war politician, whose whole ambition is to ride into office on vituperations, and this big little man seeking to be President of the United States reached that same place in life. He had talked out and then he resorted to saying that "This is a white man's country," and the white man was going to rule it. Then he abused the Negro. It seems to me that that time could have been spent in telling the people about that League of Nations which President Wilson brought home from Europe, which would have sold us all out to Great Britain, that document which is as much confused and as much of a puzzle as those tongues were way back yonder when man attempted to build him a tower to heaven. He would have made better time, and displayed more ability by trying to cram that stuff down the people th' he would have coming down to abuse some of the loyal citizens of the country whose franchise he is seeking. I am proud to say to Governor Cox, 50 HON. ASA GRANT ADAMS. Elected Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago. that the verdict will be rendered Tuesday, and I think when your friends tell you about it you will grow sick at heart. Get ready, and I would advise that you get upon your knees to hear it. The jury is ready to go in the box Tuesday morning, and will come out about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The people will have spoken then, and you will hear them. Permit me to urge every voter of my race to get there early Tuesday morning, and bear in mind that there is no time for trying to split your ticket. Take it in straight, and Republican at that. If there is a little poodle dog on the ticket, vote for him, for he will try to do you good. He is the man for the place. I am prepared to vouch for Senator Harding. You will agree with me that I have been doing some going this year, and yet it is nothing to what it is going to be, for I am going and going some more and then some more. Look where I was when I wrote to you last, and see where I am now, and before you can get through with this letter I will have traveled over 2,000 miles, and the election will be over, and I will be shouting with you. I am going to get me a special shouting suit. What will you send along for it? I have been through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and you see I am writing from Kansas, but will not be here long. In Arkansas I visited the Arkansas Baptist College, talked with Dr. Booker, made some talks in Texarkana, Pine Bluff, Little Rock and left. But I could not help from feeling shaky while in Arkansas, as I thought of Elaine and the condition of these men down there, who are waiting for death or a word from Governor Brough. What will he do, or say? We shall not comment now, but believe me if the lynching takes place, then I promise that you shall hear from me in full fledge. I am now taking special "casing" lessons, so as to be able to give vent to my feeling. The Lord hath done great things for us, and he has given us some strong men. Associated with the lawyers in this case, is a young lawyer who knows business when it comes to plumbing at the bar, and he is Young Robert Booker, the son of Dr. Joseph A. Booker. He is hopeful and believes that the proper thing will be done at the proper time. God grant it. I called to see Grand Peribe Chester E. Bush, who is truly the son of his father, and who is doing a great work in the Mosaic Templars of America. He is strictly a business man, and it is froturnate that we have such a strong man at the head of the business end of that great organization. The membership is on the increase and much good is being accomplished. Last week, I had the pleasure of going into Oklahoma, and looking around there. I met the Baptists there for a few hours, and what I said to them was worth hearing, for I told them about what was going on in the United States, and about Senator Harding, and his doings. They seemed delighted to have the information. The convention was presided over by the Rev. Dr. E. W. Perry, of Oklahoma City, who is a man every inch of him, and the proper leader for our people in that section of the country. He is as modest as a woman. I visited also the public school, and met the man known as "Big Jim Harris," chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, and strictly a lily white, and he told me a few things about how they expected to win, and that white people had decided that the Negro should not vote and they would go to that hot place first. Well such is life. I shall not comment on him now, but will reserve the right to do my cussing when I get round to it. I feel that I am heaven bound and don't want to change my chances for glory. The Lord is with me, and I must do praying in order to keep on the right side. This world would almost make an angel feel like saying some things which are not in keeping with angel ethics. What are you doing now? I looked around in Oklahoma City and then in company with Dr. S. B. Butler, I left for the place where I am now, reaching here about midnight. I have had some few things to say here to the people, and enjoyed it so very much. It was a pleasure for me to be with these people and to note the wonderful progress by them. Dr. S. B. Butler, is a young minister, a graduate from the Western College, Macon, Mo., and then has been out in the world making friends. I remember that he pastored at one time in Palmyra, and from there I think he came to this city about 10 years ago, and took hold of the Calvary Baptist Church. The building was started but not finished, and he soon finished it, and that it was inadequate, hence down it went and a new building took its place which is now completed costing about $50,000, and is considered perhaps the finest church building in Kansas owned by our people. Dr. Butler is treasurer of the B. Y. B. P. U. and Sunday School Congress of the National Baptist Convention. He is a worker. Right by his side is his wife, who is a graduate from the same school, Western College, Macon, Mo. She is in the hearts of the people and is a worker among the women. Every year she is found at the National Baptist Convention. I would like to say a few other things to you, but time will not permit me to do this. Will you let me have a line from you as soon as you can made it convenient? I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. I shall have some other things to talk about after the election. ALMOST READY TO BUILD Mr. A. A. Williams, 811 R. 45th street, who bought several lots through M. T. Bailey some weeks ago is preparing to erect a building for his future home in Morgan Park. GETTING BETTER Mrs. Louise Killion, who has been very sick at her sisters, 2125 Columet avenue, is much improved. ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. Adopted at the 13th Annual Meeting of the National Equal Rights League, at Trinity Baptist Church, Baltimore, Md. At the zenith of the first presidential campaign in the United States since it was the military savior and moral spokesman of the most gigantic and terrible war in recorded history, we, the National Equal Rights League, representing the 15,000,000 Americans of African extraction would call our country and our countrymen back to the teachings of our fathers and the principles of the founders of our government who declared all men to be free and equal and endowed with inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. On these principles, the only true Americanism, the Colored Americans stand, declaring that true patriotism consists in ridding our country of the violation of these principles because of race. Such should be the issue of issues in such a presidential campaign at such a time as this. After a world war based on the promise of world democracy, a war in which there was no exemption because of race or color, a war in which darker humanity served and died to preserve for white humanity the liberty and equality of rights already attained by white humanity, the United States of America is the last place where there should be a color line in democracy. Yet here is found the greatest denial of democracy in Christendom because of color. It is President Wilson who drew the color line against official appointments, even to Colored nations. It is this Democratic administration which has fulfilled its doctrine of self-determination for small nations by seizing the governments of Haiti and San Damingo. It is the Democratic promise of democracy who drew the color line and forbade Colored Americans, though in vain, the right to even leave the shores to ask for it. Loyal to America and its principles, we approach election day with the belief that the ending of lynching by federal law, of disfranchisement, of segregation in travel and federal service can only come with the ending of Wilsonism and the Democratic regime. Colored America is against the Wilson League of Nations because of its hypocrisy in protecting the rights of the racial minorities of all nations but the allied nations. Americans deserving the realization of true democracy must need seek it through the Republican rather than the Democratic party. Hence it is that the National Equal Rights League advises the election of Harding and Coolidge, followers of the constitution, and the defeat of Gax and Roosevelt, followers of the Wilson policies.

The members are especially grateful to The Broad Ax, the Chicago Defender, the Searchlight and the Whip for kindly publicity of the Drive. They also highly appreciate the cordial welcome given them by Dr. Eli Martin, Betheca Baptist Church, and Dr. W. S. Braddan, Bearean Baptist Church and the generous donation given by their congregations. Last but not least among the big, broad-minded people of this great city, who are doing much to relieve suffering humanity along philanthropic lines as well as kindly lines of comfort and good cheer, stands "Mother Hedgepath" with wide-open arms and a warm, loving heart touched to its tenderest depths by the story of what the Phyllis Wheatley Home means to the stranger girl of our own group, and on last Sunday night one of the heartiest responses was given our representative at her usual Sunday evening meeting at 3140 Indiana avenue, and although the audience had responded liberally to other appeals, they still found $28.50 to offer the Home. God will surely bless all such generous donors. Mrs. Harriet Taylor Treadwell, President Chicago Political Equality League, has offered to help in the Drive by filling any appointment that can be made for a few minutes after services in any of our churches. Who will be the first to open wide its doors to so worthy a cause? A. [Name] HON.
