ALDERMAN THOMAS F. BRYNE WILL BE RE-ELECTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE NEW 15TH WARD
No one needs to come from the dead past in order to talk about Hon. Thomas F. Bryne, the little fighting statesman who represents the stock yards district in the City Council, for he is well known to every man, woman and child residing in the great city of Chicago.
Alderman Byne is ever ready to enter into a red hot fight on the floor of the City Council in behalf of Union Labor and the poor working man.
Being one of the warm friends of the writer, he introduced the resolution in the City Council in October, 1921, making it possible to hold a special Tag Day for the benefit of the Fort Dearborn Hospital, and it can be truly said that he is the colored man's friend.
It goes without saying that Alderman Bryne will be re-elected to the City Council on Tuesday, Feb. 27.

Hon. Dorsey R. Crowe, member of the City Council from the old 21st ward and non-partisan candidate for re-election to it from the new 42nd ward. Alderman Crowe is so well and favorably known to the people of Chicago, that he needs no long introduction to the many readers of this newspaper.
He honorably and bravely served his country in the aviation corps during the late World War for democracy and he wassseverely injured when he fell on the Lake from his airplane and for his bravery and daring exploits he was in time promoted to a captaincy and he seen service over the deep blue sea on the battlefields of France and he should be highly honored for the true and loyal spirit which he displayed at that time.
Alderman Crowe does not do a lot of loud talking, cussing or swearing; on the contrary he is cultured and refined and always thinks twice before he speaks; his bearing is that of a highly polished gentleman.
HON. TI
Alderman Moran is finishing four years or two terms as a member of the City Council from the old 31st Ward and his labors in behalf of the people residing in that ward and for all the people living in this great city will continue for many years to come. Place him and his name among the best class and the most progressive aldermen that this city has ever had.
The above are a few of the many important accomplishments of the City Council which he as one of its useful members has greatly helped to bring about.
Street Repairs:
There was expended for street repairs in the old 31st Ward during the years 1918, 1919, 1920, 1921 and 1922, an average of $32,590.00 per year while I represented this Ward, as compared to an average of $19,245.00 per year for the years 1916 and 1917.
Street and Alley Cleaning:
There was expended for street and alley cleaning in the old 31st Ward, the sum of $75,917.01 in 1917, which was the year before I was elected to the City Council; and in 1922, the sum of $106,918.20.
Street Lighting—State to Ashland:
During the period that I have represented the old 31st Ward, there has been expended in that Ward approximately $285,000.00 for the installation of more than 3,000 street lights.
Ordinance Regulating Heating of Apartments and Factories:
During the past year, I worked for the passage of a health measure providing for the regulation of temperature in apartments, factories and workshops which was so adjusted as to be satisfactory to tenants and workers and practical in its application and operation.
Western Avenue Pumping Station:
Construction work was started in 1920 on tunnels for a new pumping station to be located on Western
HON. WI
Alderman William R. O'Toole, first wended his way into the City Council from the old 30th Ward in 1914, after a hard fought battle with Joseph A. Swift, Alderman from that ward at that time, which has always been full of fighting politicians and statesmen, and from 1914 to the present time Alderman O'Toole has ably represented all the people residing in his ward. There are a great many honest and highly respectable colored people residing in his ward and at all times without price. Alderman O'Toole has stood ready and willing to serve them in every way that he possibly could and many times he has gone out of his way to do favors for them in the way of securing work for both men and women and it is no uncommon sight every day to see three or four colored men and women standing around on the outside of the City
---
In the past he served on the committee of committees and he voted in favor of selecting Alderman Louis B. Anderson as one of the members of the Finance Committee, which is clearly evident that Alderman Crowe is not swayed by race prejudice.
As one of the live members of the Finance Committee, Alderman Crowe was selected as one of its five members of its sub committee, which had the final say in settling up the race riot cases and at all times he was more than fair and just.
The Municipal Voters League speaks of him as follows:
Forty-Second Ward—Ald. Dorsey R. Crowe indorseed. "Throughout his aldermanic career he has supported decency and good government and has consistently developed in usefulness. His good record entitles him to the support of intelligent citizens and they should combine on him to defeat Agnew."
Alderman Crowe is running on the following platform for re-election to
avenue. The entire cost of this im-provement will be approximately $8,000,000. I have consistently fought to hasten the completion of this project and to have the station located as near our ward as possible, in order that our district may obtain the maximum benefits in the supply of water, of which we have been short for many years.
Accomplishments of City Council
1. In the appropriation bills for the past two years, the City Council has adhered to the policy of keeping appropriations within the revenue and, in this connection, has taken as the basis the certification of revenue from the City Comptroller. The following tabulation pertains to the appropriation bills for the years 1921 and 1922: Departmental Estimates, 1921-$45.
Departmental Estimates, 1921—$45,
423,922.29; 1922—$54,889,940.58.
Committee Recommendation, 1921—
$40,661,782.10; 1922—$39,458,581.57.
Passed by City Council, 1921—$40,
799,780.76; 1922—$39,582,437.14.
Total Appreciation 1921—$40,799,
780.76; 1922—$43,340,340.28.
2. The City Council reduced the interest rate on recent bond issues
one-half of one per cent, which action
will save the city approximately $27,
000.00 for the first year and during
the life of the bond issues, approximately $270,000.00.
3. The City Council, through a system of rigid inspection, increased the
collections from vehicle licenses $900,
000.00, making this much additional
available for the repair and maintenance
of the improved streets of Chicago.
4. Over 200 individual requests for regrading of positions, affecting approximately 400 employees, were presented to the Finance Committee in 1922. If allowed, these requests involved an expenditure of over $75,000.00 per annum. They were disposed of to the extent of saving $48,000.00.
Council committee rooms waiting and looking for Alderman O'Toole. When he was first elected to the City Council in 1914, he declared that it was no use in attempting to induce any of the colored voters of his ward to vote for him, that the colored people were all against him. We informed Alderman O'Toole at that time that he was mistaken, that what he wanted to do was to march himself right in among the colored people along on State Street and on the other streets where they resided east of Wentworth Ave, that by doing so he would become better acquainted with them, and with much pleasure it can be stated that Alderman O'Toole paid some attention to our sound advice, for at each aldermanic election from that time on he has successfully carried all of the colored precincts in his ward against his bitter political opponents and for a long time Alderman O'Toole has been the biggest man in
the City Council, Tuesday Feb. 27. Voted 100% for the people against $3,000,000.00 experts, voted to demand resignation of indicted schoolboard members, stood courageously against waste of taxpayers' money and overloading budget, member of Council four years, member Finance Committee three years, an ex-service man, loyal to his comrades. Introduced ordinances for: Protection of lives against reckless auto drivers, boulevarding La Salle and Ohio streets, La Salle street bridge, local comfort station, sponsored creation of free bathing beach—south of Chicago Ave. "One good term deserves another." As Alderman Crowe has always been friendly disposed towards the better class of colored people and has always been ready to do him a favor when it has been within his power to do so, in the long run it would indeed be a great benefit to the colored people in his ward to assist to return him to the City Council on Tuesday, Feb. 27.
MORAN
5. The City Council, after hearing by the Finance Committee on demands applicable to over 6,000 employees, involving an additional salary expense of over $1,950,000.00, disposed of such demands at a cost of approximately $77,000.00—a saving to the taxpayers of $1,873,000.00.
6. The City Council, in 1922, ordered the audit now being made of the books of the Board of Education (over which the City Council has no legal control) to check on the expenditure of $52,600,000.00 appropriated last year, and to consider the advisability of a reduction in the tax rate.
The City Council, in conjunction with the Superintendent of Police, has put into effect a plan of rewarding policemen for meritorious service, thereby furnishing an incentive for greater diligence and activity on the part of the police force.
As stated before that Alderman Moran has assisted to accomplish a wonderful work in behalf of all the people of this city since he has been one of the very valuable members of the City Council.
It can further be stated in all fairness to Alderman Moran that as one of the members of the Finance Committee of that body, that he voted and worked hard to assist to settle up the Race Riot cases without such a long delay, that he voted in favor of the four resolutions which passed the City Council along that same line in October, 1921, he voted in favor of the special Tag Day for the Fort Dearborn Hospital.
At all times Alderman Moran is ready and willing to do anything that he can to favor the colored people residing in his ward.
In conclusion, Alderman Moran as well as his warm friend, Hon. Michael K. Sheridan, states that many colored voters in the old 31st Ward will assist him on Tuesday, Feb. 27, to land back into the City Council—Adv.
the Town of Lake in the eyes of the colored people.
Alderman O'Toole in October, 1921 voted in favor of the special Tag Day for the benefit of the Fort Dearborn Hospital and he called for a through ticket and voted in favor of the passage of four resolutions which had for their object the settlement of the Race Riot cases and he can truly be regarded as one of the best friends of the colored people in this city.
He is one of the hard working members of the City Council; he is chairman of the committee on buildings and zoning; he is a member of the following other committees: Railroads, Industries, and Compensation, Gas, Oil and Electric Lights, Schools, fire and civil service and member of the committees and rules and with the aid of the colored voters residing in his ward he will make a swift home run on Tuesday, February 27, and land back in the City Council.

Several years ago when it was first proposed to chop the old city wards up into fifty wards with one alderman to each, a great roar went up among some of the aldermen residing near the old 14th ward, for none of them outside of Alderman Joseph Higgins Smith and Alderman George M. Maypole wanted a whole raft of colored people saddled off onto them and after the fight had become very bitter along that line in the committee rooms, Alderman Maypole strode into the room and wanted to know what was the trouble or the matter with the so-called red blooded or thin skinned republicans, who were ashamed or afraid to let it be known on the floor of the City Council that a large number of peaceable and law abiding colored people resided in their wards and with his eyes flashing fire. Alderman Maypole loudly exclaimed, "Give me the colored people I am not ashamed of them and I will take all of them that the members of this committee places within the bounds of my ward for I know them and was raised among them," and thousands of colored people were cut into his ward

HON. JOHN H. LYLE WILL BE

No member of the City Council has
been more friendly to the colored
race than Hon. John H. Lyle, who
has for many years served all the peo-
ple well and faithfully residing in the
old Thirty-Second Ward and he has
also labored hard in the interest of all
of the people in this city.
Alderman Lyle greatly endeared
himself to all of the colored people
when he lead off in the fight on the
floor of ‘the City Council and in the
Finance Committee in favor of set-
tling the Race Riot cases and no one
was more happy than Alderman Lyle
when the City Council ordered the
whole matter to be closed up at once.
After the-race‘riots, in this city in
1919, Ald. Lyle defended one of the
colored men who killed the ringleader
of a mob on_the south side, and the
jury tyghed “him loose. Ald. Lyle
made a wonderful plea in behalf oi
this colored man, a local preacher who
was defending his wife and children
For our part, we feel mighty proud
to number Alderman ‘Lyle among our
best, friends in Chicago and we: hope
that the fates and ee in his
‘ward are on his side that he will
be retifmed to the City Council on

An® Alderman can do much by his
ypice .and vote to induce Congress to
modify the present Volstead Act so
as to-permit the sale of light wines
and beer. Light wines were used by
people thousands of years before the
birth of Christ, and why not now in
this present age of civilizMtion, Chris-
tianity and progress?
Our ward is sadly lacking in proper
playgrounds and parks for our chil-
dren, ‘
Likewise, there should be a bathing
beach at the foot of 31st or 35th street
where our people could ‘take an occa-
sional dive in the cool waters of Lake
Michigan on a hot afternoon or eve-
ning. Other wards along the Lake
Front have beaches—why not the 2d
Ward?
I would do all in my power to bring
about this long-felt want.
U1. Our ward is infested with num-
erous cabarets, While I am heartily
in favor of personal liberty, the caba-
ret proposition has become a nuisance
to the good, decent citizens of our
ward. Only a few days ago, a sensa-
tional murder occurred in one of the
big cabarets in the ward. This condi-
tion tends to bring on reproach to the
good name of the second ward. I
believe that some effective action
should be taken by the public authori-
ties, acting in conjunction with the
Alderman of the second ward, to
bring about an improvement of this
condition and if the nuisance can not
be thoroughly eradicated, then stricter
regulations should be made concern-
ing their epbvétionn.
'W. G. ANDERSON is a practicing
attorney in the Municipal, State and
Federal Courts, with offices at 17
North La Salle St., Suite 560; phones
4694 Dearborn, 7094 Dearborn; re-
sides at 3354 Vernon Avenue, and was
‘born in New Orleans, La, April 2,
1870. He has lived in the Second
Ward fon the past twelve years, and
in Chicago for over thirty years.
He studied law under Judge John
Barton Payne and was admitted to the
‘Mlinois- Bar in 1896.)
Under date of March 29th, 1922, the
Chicago Advocate’ published the fol-
lowing article concerning Attorney
Anderson:
“Attorney W. G. Anderson acquired
the name “Habeas Corpus’ because of
the hundreds of habeas corpus and
criminal cases successfully fought by
him.
“The record heretofore made by At-
torney Anderson is still fresh in the
memory of the citzens of Chicago.
“It was he, assisted by Attorney Ed.
Wright, who procured a writ of ha-
beds corpus from the late Judge Tut-
hill, and saved the life of Steve Green,
who had killed his boss down in Ar-
kansas because he refused to let Steve
leave the plantation, where he was
making the princely sum of fifty cents
a day, with the object of bettering his
condition. The sheriff had come to
Chicago for Steve and gotten him as
far south as Cairo, where he was
taken off the train by the sheriff of
Alexander County, returned to Chi-
cago, and after a hard and’ vigorous
fight before the late Judge Tuthill of
the Circuit Court of Cook County,
Steve Green was ‘discharged, and is
alive today.”
“It was Mt. Anderson who saved
Mrs. Mary Howard from going back
to Nashville, Tenn, a few years ago,
where she was indicted for stealing
three chickens—a penitentiary offense
in Tennessee. The Attorney General
of Tennessee came all the way to Chi-
cago to oppose the writ which Judge
Dever had issued and he made a hard
Tight to take Mrs. Howard back to
Nashville, but Attorney Anderson
again scored a notable victory and
had Mrs. Howard discharged.”
“But one of the «most important
legal battles of Attorney Anderson
was the mission to Richmond, Va, on
August 15, 1912, at the instance of
the Chicago Examiner, to urge Gov
ernor Mann of Virginia to reprieve
Virginia Christian, the seventeen-year-
old balf-witted colored girl who had
Killed her mistress while in a fit of
frenzy. Anderson made a most won-
derful plea to the Governor, which
was commented on by the Chicago
Examiner and other papets as a mas-
terpiece of eloquence, but Governor!
Mann’s heart could not be moved and
the half-witted child was electrocuted
—the first electrocution of a woman
in the State of Virginia. While the
white papers of Virginia severely criti-
cized Attorney Anderson's nerve in
attempting to have Governor Mann
reprieve the girl or modify the sen-
tence to life imprisonment, Mr. An-
derson had no hesitancy in undertak-
ing the journey to Richmond, espe-

ATTORNEY AUGUSTUS L. WILLIAMS
Don’t fail to vote for Attorney Augustus L. Williams for Alder-
man of Second Ward. The Candidate with a good record
has proven it by obtaining from the City of Chicago $112,-
300.00 as a result of his fight against mob violence.
‘The most recent canvas of the voters
of the entire Second Ward shows that
Attorney Augustus L. Williams, can-
didate for Alderman from the Second
Ward, is far in the lead of all his op-
ponents. Mr. Williams is making his
fight for Aldermanic honors on his
record which is so outstanding in
comparison with the record of the
other candidates.that they have stop-
ped fostering their own campaigns and
are attémpting to break down the
record of Mr. Williams. All of them
seem to have reached the conclusion
that the Race Riot fight that Mr. Wil-
liams has made, is the winning cam-
paign slogan, since the people of the
‘Ward believe that the successful ter-
mination of the Race Riot fight in be-
half of the sarvivors of the victims is
ts Su eee ets
day and are anxious to reward the
man who did something for them.
Throughout the meetings held by
the respective candidates, you can
bear Mc Williams’ name mentioned
by the respective speakers, some say-
ing that he could not do it, othérs ad-
mitting that he did do it, but trying
to explain to the people that they took
part in it,
Mr. Lows B. Anderson claims in his
Record to have been in the foreground
for the race in getting for them com-
pensation out of this chaos for which
Mr. Williams brought victory. He
attempts to belittle the work of Mr.
Williams by saying that the people
did not need to go into court.

is that Mr. Anderson at the time was

the Alderman of the Second Ward,
was a lawyer and stood in a position
to do more for his people than any
other man living in the city of Chi-
cago by virtue of this position, to
compel the city to compensate the
survivors of the Race Riot victims.
Believing this to be true, several of the
claimants went to him and put their
matter in his office. One of the claim-
ants for John Walter Humphrey, de-
ceased, who had secured Mr. Williams
for his lawyer, came back to Mr. Wil-
liams and said to him that by virtue of
Mr, Anderson's connections he desired
Mr. Williams to withdraw. Mr, Wil.
liams did so and his case was turned
‘over to Mr. Anderson's law firm.
Records of the city of Chicago
show that Mr. Anderson's Srm_ did
not file a suit for the man and that
the man was denied his rights by’ the
negligence of Mr. Anderson or some
one else of his firm.
li, it did ‘not require anything but
for ‘us to go in and ask for it, why
did not Mr. Anderson get compensa-
tion for this man?
The remaining candidates say that
‘Mr. Williams did not have to do it.
If Mr, Williams did not have to do it,
why did not some one else take’ it up?
There are race men in the Corpora-
tion Copnsel’s Office drawing pay
from the city, bt they failed to do
anything for the brethren. Why try
to steal Mr. William's thunder by tell-
ing* you that it was an easy matter?
Dear Voter, this trickery has been
practiced before. =

Victoria's Record Reign.
Queen Victoria's was the longest reign in English history. It lasted 63 years. She ascended the throne in 1837 and died in 1901, at the age of eighty-one years. The next longest reign was that of her grandfather, George III, who was on the throne 90 years, though he became hopelessly insane nine years before his death, and his eldest son, afterward George IV, became prince regent. Edward II's reign lasted 50 years and Elizabeth's 44.
