The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Without Any Joking or Guessing About It, Many Colored Men and Women, Residing In All Parts of This City, Will Vote for Hon. William E. Dever, for Mayor of Chicago. Hon. Arthur C. Lueder, Republican Candidate for Mayor of Chicago, and Hon. Morton Dension Hull, Republican Candidate for Congress from the Second Congressional District of Illinois, Held Forth at the Appomattox Club, Last Friday Evening. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1923 Tuesday, April 3rd, continues to rapidly approach the great army of men and women voters residing in this city and each day everything seems to plainly indicate that many colored men and women residing in all parts of this city will vote for Hon. William E. Dever for mayor of this wonderful city. Within the past week Judge Dever has with much pleasure freely mingled with thousands of colored men and women in all parts of this city and they have hailed him as the second Mayor William Hale Thompson, former Mayors Edward F. Dunne and Carter H. Harrison combined and to come right down to it, the vast majority of the colored people living in this city feel that their best interest would be perfectly safe in the hands of Judge Dever if he should become the next Mayor of this city. BOTH OF THE DISTINGUISHED GUESTS WERE WARMLY AND HEARTILY RECEIVED BY SEVERAL HUNDRED OF ITS MEMBERS. STATE SENATOR HULL AND MR. LUEDER BOTH DELIVERED SANE AND PRACTICAL TALKS WHICH MADE A PROFOUND IMPRESSION UPON THE MINDS OF THEIR HEARERS. COLONEL OSCAR DE PRIEST HAS BE COME ONE OF THE MOST ERRATIC LEADERS OF THE COLORED RACE IN CHICAGO. As stated in these columns many times before for more than sixteen years that Judge Dever has been a regular subscriber to this newspaper, which finds its way once each week into his home at 5901 Kenmore ave., where it is read by his splendid and good wife, Mrs. Dever and by the other members of the family. This simply tends to prove that Judge and Mrs. Dever, whom the writer has had the pleasure of meeting are not narrow minded and chuck full of race prejudice and that they are greatly interested in the welfare of the colored race. IN 1918. COL. DE PRIEST DISTRIBUTED MANY THOUSANDS OF CIRCULAR LETTERS THROUGHOUT THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS IN WHICH IT WAS STATED THAT HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN HAD VOTED IN FAVOR OF A "JIM CROW SOUTHERN RAILROAD BILL"; THAT BY DOING SO, CONGRESSMAN MADDEN HAD PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE A RANK ENEMY AND TRAITOR TO THE COLORED RACE. In 1902, Col. James Hale Porter and other associates held the Mississippi Valley Exposition at the First Regiment Armory in this city. It was the first exposition held among the colored people in this section of the country and on "Chicago Night," Mayor Carter H. Harrison was unable to be present so he selected Alderman William E. Dever, who was a member of the city council from the old 17th Ward at that time to represent his Hon. Mayor Carter H. Harrison and the city of Chicago on that occasion and Alderman Dever made a common sense and good old fashioned talk to the colored people and to the large number of white persons who were present. Alderman Dever at that time did not attempt to tell any funny stories at the expense of either race, but at considerable length he dwelt on the remarkable and steady progress that has been made by the colored race since it emerged from the house of bondage; that no one was any prouder of that self-evident fact than what he was; that he was ushered into this grand old world down in Massachusetts, where the people did not spend all of the valuable time in talking about social equality and race prejudice that Chicago, the Queen City of America, stood with open hands and with outstreached arms to welcome the peaceable and law-abiding colored people within her gates where their children can freely drink in their education in her public schools on the same terms or footing with the children of other races; where they can freely become a part and parcel of this liberal-minded and progressive community. AT THAT TIME COL. DE PRIEST WAS READY TO CUSS OUT AND CLUB DOWN EVERY COLORED PERSON WHO FAILED TO DAMN AND VILIFY HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN. LESS THAN TWO YEARS AFTER THAT TIME, COL. DE PRIEST HAD NO HIGHER AMBITION TO PERFORM THAN TO BROW BEAT AND BULLDOZE ALL THE COLORED PEOPLE WHO REFUSED TO THROW UP THEIR HATS AND SHOUT OR SOUND THE PRAISE OF HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN. IN 1919, COL. DE PRIEST UTTERLY FAILED TO UNHORSE HON. LOUIS B. ANDERSON AND BREAK BACK INTO THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE SECOND WARD. Thus spoke Judge Dever in relation to the colored people more than twenty years ago, long before he started to run for mayor of Chicago. As stated above, Hon. Martin D. Hull, Republican candidate for Congress from the Second Congressional District of Illinois, and Hon. Arthur C. Lueder, Republican candidate for mayor of Chicago; Mr. Alexander L. Jackson, second vice-president of the Appomattox Club, in the most eloquent manner presented Congressman Hull to the large number of members of the club who were present. Congressman Hull's speech was right to the point, highly instructive and very interesting. From every point of view Congressman Hull has always been rightly classed as a true friend of the colored race, as one of the leading members of the state senate for many years from the Hyde Park district, Senator Hull always worked and voted against all the "Jim Crow" legislation which was introduced in the state senate of Illinois. Only a few years ago when many people residing in the Hyde Park district greatly enjoyed the pastime pleasure of bombing the homes of decent and respectable colored people and Senator Hull attended a meeting in which plans were to be laid to drive out all the colored people in the midst of the excitement, commotion and bitter racial feeling, Senator Hull had the moral courage to stand up and severely upbraid his old friends and neighbors and point out to them that they had no moral right to attempt to molest the law-abiding colored people in any manner, shape or form, that decent colored people, like the decent members of other races, had the undisputed right to rent and buy homes wherever they could afford to maintain them. The sane and sober talk on the part of Senator Hull quieted his friends and neighbors down and from that time to this bombing the homes of colored people has become a thing of the past in the Hyde Park district. These are some of the reasons why the colored voters should assist to elect Senator Hull to Congress from the Second Congressional District of Illinois. Hon. Arthur C. Lueder, Republican candidate for mayor of Chicago, who is a great big-hearted, good-natured gentleman, who understands how to make friends with everybody, was brilliantly introduced by Mr. David Hawley, first vice-president of the Appomattox Club. Mr. Lueder was loudly applauded when he rose to speak and if it had been left to the members of the Appomattox Club right there and then Mr. Lueder would have been elected mayor of Chicago. His splendid and practical speech appears in full in another column of this newspaper. There is no one in this city who can beat Col. De Priest in getting out circular letters against Republican candidates who fail to fall down upon their hands and knees and worship him as their political lord and master, as stated in these columns last week, that after the Hon. Martin B. Madden in 1917 contributed to him three or five thousand dollars in order to enable Col. De Priest from preventing his Democratic friend, Col. Maclay Hoyne, from sending him to prison behind the bars at Joliet, Ill., and to reward the Hon. Martin B. Madden for coughing up that amount of money for him in 1918, Col. De Priest through his shouters and retainers, distributed many thousands of those circular letters throughout the First Congressional District stating that Hon. Martin B. Madden had voted in favor of a southern "Jim Crow Railroad Bill" that Congressman Madden was an enemy and a traitor to the colored race. Many anti-Madden meetings were held in all parts of his district in which he was held up to scorn and contempt and he was referred to by some of the speakers and followers of Col. De Priest as old peg leg, gray haired Martin B. Madden, and as some of the followers of Col. De Priest left his meetings they were so wrought up and heated up that they were good and ready to kill any white or colored person who differed with them. Col. De Priest was so powerful at that time that all of the colored editors in this city failed to have the moral courage to oppose him except the writer, and the Saturday before the September primaries in 1918, not another race newspaper in this city contained one line in favor of the renomination of Congressman Madden, but The Broad Ax bravely stood by him to the bitter end. Shortly after that time Col. De Priest was ready to crush down and trample under his big, tricky political feet all colored persons who refused or failed to shout for Hon. Martin B. Madden. All of the above is self-evident that Col. De Priest is wild or flighty; that he never knows his own political mind over night; that it is as changeable as the shifting March winds, and, being unable to reason from cause to effect and to arrive at logical deductions, he is, therefore, one of the most erratic and unsound leaders of the colored race in Chicago. In 1919, Col. De Priest attempted to knock out Alderman Louis B. Anderson and break back into the City Council, but Alderman Anderson was too much for him and he forced Col. De Priest to beat it to the tall timbers. At that time we freely predicted that Col. De Priest would never be able to defeat Alderman Anderson or Jackson or the Second Ward machine, and so far, our predictions have come true. SECRETARY OF WAR PLANS COLORED TRAINING CAMP A Citizen's Military Training Camp, such as has been offered to white men and boys, is to be established for Negro citizens this summer, according to a letter of Secretary of War John W. Weeks to Dr. Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute, and published in the Public Press. It seems that Dr. Moton had previously written Secretary of War Weeks requesting such a camp. Secretary of War Weeks replied: "I am pleased to inform you that plans are now under way for the establishment of a Citizen's Military Training Camp for colored candidates." He further stated that such a camp would probably be established at Fort MacPherson, Ga. Dr. Moton is now said to be canvassing the country in order to ascertain the number of men and boys who are interested in this movement. IN SUBURBS Mrs. Emma Smith, pres., Easter Lily and Mayflower Clubs, well known in many fraternal organizations in the city, visited Morgan Park during the past week. Mrs. Susie Revels was also in the park. Mrs. Revels is contemplating the erection of her future home there. C.

VOTE FOR HULL The special election for congressman falls on the same date as the mayoralty election and Mr. Hull's friends are urging the importance of recalling that a congressman as well as a mayor is to be elected. Last Friday evening he was loudly acclaimed by the members of the Appomattox club in a special meeting. He spoke to them on the working out of a form of individualism in America, that demanded an equality of opportunity for all men. Mr. Hull also expressed it as his belief that it was difficult to dissociate national and local politics so far as party is concerned. A local Republican should be a national Republican, and vice versa, he declared. The special election for congressman falls on the same date as the mayoralty election and Mr. Hull's friends are urging the importance of remembering that a congressman as well as a mayor is to be elected. —Adv.

Under Act of March 8, 1879. HAND IN HAND The operations of the Ku Klux Klan against the Catholics as well as the Negroes, have brought the Catholics over to the Negroes to canvass votes. The Chattanooga Weekly American is very much disturbed because of this and has editorials on several candidates in the election opposing the Catholics and Negroes and recounting supposed abuses of the ballot box which are anticipated. They now claim that aliens who have never been naturalized, have registered in nearly every ward of the city for the purpose of voting in the election of this week. They also claim that a large number of Negroes have been imported from outside and have registered in Chattanooga for the purpose of voting the same ticket. It is claimed that 500 Negroes have registered from one hotel alone, the capacity of the hotel being only 50. In an effort to intimidate voters, the editorial utters guarded threats which deceive no person who is really acquainted with the South: "If any Negro attempts to cast an illegal ballot under the direction and sanction of the Catholic Church, we warn him now that he is absolutely certain to get into trouble. Americans will be on guard at every voting place in the city and will have in their possession, the records of every doubtful charac- 107 PELE A. 107 HON.

The records of the Federal Court have carefully scrutinized and if any alien makes an effort to cast an illegal ballot, he will be certain to get in bad. Trusting nothing to the Catholics of Rome in this election, nor in any other election where the interests of that Church are at stake, there will be not one, not two, but scores of 100 per cent Americans at every polling place in the city and not one crooked deal will be allowed to go over." Of course, they include the usual bunk to the effect that, "Americans prepare to settle their issues with the ballot, honestly cast and honestly counted." This is affirmed with all the positiveness of red blooded Americans and nothing crooked from Rome will be tolerated." M. T. Bailey, president of The Bailey Realty Co., 3638 State St., has certainly opened the way for members of the Race to secure respectful living quarters away from the high rents and congested conditions of the city proper by helping them to find suitable locations in Morgan Park and other parts of the suburbs of the city where there are good schools and churches. For several years past Dr. R. Finn was connected with Mr. Ernest H. Williamson's undertaking establishment at 5121 S.

Hollingsworth Wood, President of the National Urban League and Eugene Kincle Jones, its Executive Secretary are this week visiting cities of the North and West in the interest of better relations between the races and larger industrial opportunities of Negro working men. They left New York City on March 15th and made their first stop in Pittsburgh where they visited industrial plants and held conferences with leading white and colored citizens in the interest of the social welfare of Negroes along the lines of the League's improvement program. From Pittsburgh their itinerary comprised Columbus, Ohio; Louisville, St. Louis, Kansas City, Missouri; and Kansas City, Kansas; Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, and Buffalo. The increasing migration to the North of Negroes from the South and the attendant problems of health, housing, recreation and industry which the new adjustment needs entail render this a most opportune time for such a trip. It is generally conceded that Mr. Wood though a white man is most sympathetic with the Negro's claim for equal opportunity and has an unusual understanding of the Negro's point of view in his efforts to attain the higher things of life. Mr. Wood is of Quaker parentage, a lawyer by profession, and is serving on the Board of Directors of many educational institutions and liberal movements. Mr. Jones has been Executive Secretary of the Urban League for twelve years. The League is now located in forty cities and spent $250,000 last year in promoting its activities. COL. OSCAR DE PRIEST HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST ERRATIC AND DANGEROUS LEADERS OF THE COLORED RACE IN CHICAGO. In 1918, ol. DePriest distributed many thousands of circular letters throughout the First Congressional District of Illinois in which it was stated that Hon. Martin B. Madden had voted in favor of a "Jim Crow southern railroad bill;" that by doing so Congressman Madden had proven Himself to be a rank enemy and traitor to the colored race. At that time Col. De Priest was ready to hiss out or club out every colored person who failed to damn and vilify Hon. Martin B. Madden. Less than two years from that time Col. De Priest had no higher ambition to perform than to browbeat and bulldoze all the colored people who refused to throw up their hats and shout or sound the praise of Hon. Martin B. Madden. In 1918 Col. De Priest utterly failed to unhorse Hon. Louis B. Anderson and break back into the City Council from the Second Ward. NEGRO MOOSE LODGE GIVES UP WORD "MOOSE" Atlantic City, N. J.—The Supreme Lodge of the World, Loyal Order of Moose, began suit here, in the Court of Chancery, against the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Moose, colored lodge, for the use of the word "Moose" in latter's lodge title. The Supreme lodge claims exclusive right to the word. As the suit started, the colored order agreed to change its title and proceedings were dropped. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1923 FIGHT FOR MAYOR HOT, WITH LUEDER TAKING THE LEAD CLEMENT WO WHITE ALAN IN THE NAT Says He Will Be Best Mayor; Denies Klan Affiliation at Appomattox Club Lueder is in the lead in the colored wards throughout the city. Last week there was talk of a decided feeling for Judge Dever, the Democratic nominee for mayor. This has been proven to have been unfounded and now there is every indication that Lueder is growing fast in the favor of the colored vote. This face-about has been clinched by Candidate Lueder himself. His clear-cut presentation of his stand on matters affecting the interests of the citizens has been the chief factor in bringing about this condition that is now so very apparent in the attitude the voter has assumed in the mayoralty contest. Not Factional Candidate In Mr. Lueder's now famous Appomattox club address he stated: "I am not a candidate of any political faction, but of all the groups whinch constitute the Republican party in the city of Chicago. I am a party candidate and therefore free to do whatever is just and fair and honorable I am not controlled or owned politically by any newspaper or political group. I do not know what promises, if any, hape been made by my political opponents in this campaign, but I will make a promise and that is that I will give you as square a deal as you have ever received from any man and I will be a better friend to you than any mayor has eer been to you before. I can do no better than that." Open Stand Makes Friends This fair and open stand, it is declared by the more influential colored politicians on the three sides of the city where the colored vote abounds in considerable numbers, has switched the voter from any inclinations whatever to support the Democratic nominee to a vigorous and determined support of the Republican candidate. "This best friend talk" follows closely in the wake of the declaration of the employees in the local postoffice, who declare that Arthur C. Lueder, former postmaster, is the best friend of the postoffice worker they have ever dealt with. Voting for Dever Dangerous Voting for Dever Dangerous The "a vote for Dever doesn't matter" talk is being met by pointing out the moral support that such a vote will give the "solid south" in the event that the Democratic candidate is elected. It is being pointed out that while Judge Dever might be all right personally, the South is not yet ready to graciously receive the support of the colored voter even by so indirect a means as voting for a Democratic candidate for mayor in a Northern city. Building up a machine which may send a Democratic congressman or senator to the capital who would be part of a caucus controlled by Southern senators is the bitter milk in the cocoanut, the taste of which has called a sudden halt in the prospect of the vote going for Dever on April 3. No Favors to Give Klan No favors to give Klan "I am not a member of the Ku Klux organization, have no affiliations that I know of with any of its membership, and therefore can have no intention of appointing a member, of the organization chief of police in the event that I am elected mayor. I understand that some of the Colored leaders have been busy circularizing the city with a statement that I intended' appointing a Ku Klux as my chief of police. I don't know where they got their information, but I want to say that it is an unfounded untruth and has no foundation whatever. I am a friend of freedom and a believer in fair play and an absolutely square deal." This statement is signed by Candidate Luder and has made a profound impression among Colored people and is said to be one of the main reasons for the radical change of attitude of the vote within the last week. Lueder's Platform Good Candidate Luerer stands for a business school board upon which there shall be fitting representation of all classes of citizens. This is close to the heart of the group. He is for practical improvement in the matter of transportation and the immediate construction of the subways so solely needed in Chicago at this time. He also believes in a system of taxation that will give a practical relief to the taxpayer wherever he may live in the city. And he also favors the suppression of open and commercialized vice in all its vicious forms. And lastly his platform declares against discrimination in any particular—Adv. PASSES AWAY Mrs. Julia Catron, late of 6522 Evans ave., passed away on March 14th, following illness of several months and was buried from the residence on March 19, under the auspices of Neoplian Court of which the deceased was a member.

Catron, sons and Mrs. Louise Bumpers, sister from Memphis, Tenn., arrived in time for the funeral. CLEMENT WOOD, A NATIVE WHITE ALABAMIAN, WRITES IN THE NATION: "What is the solution of the Negro Question?" "There only one: amalgamation." The man who said this to me was then an Alabama congressman, conservative, non-alarmist, who still stands high in state and nation. "But, above everything, don't quote me! My political life wouldn't be worth that if you did. . . . You see," he continued, "it's going on now." How far was this congressman right? A few scattered facts may materialize the problem. A Democratic candidate for Governor was speaking at a rally in Montgomery some 20 years ago. He finished his set speech; an excited man rose in the rear of the hall, shaking a lean, accusing finger at the orator. "What about your family of black bastards, Governor?" The distinguished Alabamian came forward to the challenge, and pointed an index finger straight at his questioner. "I've raised 'em and educated 'em, and made decent, law-abiding citizens of 'em; and that's a damn sight more than you've done for your black bastards!" There was wild applause at this; the interrupter was thrown out. The story spread from end to end of the state; the candidate was elected. And yet, the mixing continues There are still the double families, in scattered locations. There is still the occasional case where the white woman accepts a Negro lover. Among white boys of all classes there is much of this denial of the color line. This is less in the cities, and more in the country; for the cities offer white prostitutes, and in the rural districts loose white women are scarcer, or more difficult of approach, than Negro girls. Grandfathers have been lynched for protesting against mistreatment of their young colored granddaughters The situation of the Negro husband, father, or brother, under these not infrequent occurrences, is a hideous dilemma; dishonor or death are the proffered choices. And there is always the threat of the black hour of a race riot, started by some isolated breath of white lust. —New York Call, N. Y.

RENDERS PROGRAM The Claybrook Juvenile entertained a number of friends with a special program on March 10th at the Royal Circle of Friends Hall, 3517 Indiana ave. The playlette, "Easterlily" was beautifully rendered by the children. Several dances were given by the three dancing girls and the readers. Misses Alvin Cannon and Amis Mapwell, were greatly applauded. Curtis Easter, leader of the Juvenile orchestra, was at his best with Mrs. Jennie Kemp accompanist. Mrs. Harriet Claybrook is due much credit for the manner in which she has trained these children for the past two months with the assistance of Mrs. Kemp. Several requests have been made for the repetition of the entertainment. --- J. HON. JOHN H.

COTTON Mr. Lueder was introduced by Mr. Dave Hawley, Vice President of the Appomattox Club. The following is his address: “Mr. Chairman, members of the Ap- pomattox Club, and Friends: “I am very glad to find myself in the presence of the members of the Appomattox Club—one of the great institutions of Chicago, I am not a politician nor am I a public speaker. I have just gone along all of my life doing things without talking much about them. I am just a plain Amer- ican citizen, who knows the needs of the common people, because I come from that stock, and I am a part of them. (Applause). I am just a busi- ness man with thirty-two years in the real estate business in Chicago, dur- ing which time I have come in close contact with every department of the ‘city and county. I am just one who ‘has served his country in time of war as well as in time of peace and who has no greater ambition, even now, than to serve his countrymen when- ever and wherever they call him. And that is the reason I am your candidate for mayor. Not because I Sought the position, or had at any time any personal ambition to occupy that high and important office, but rather because I felt it to be my civic duty to respond to the call that came from the citizens of this great and splendid city. Resignation From Federal Position as Postmaster “A year and a half ago I was ap- pointed as your postmaster, I tried to perform the duties of that office faithfully and conscientiously. I re- signed from that position on January 29th of this year when I became a candidate for mayor. That is more than my political opponent can say, because he is still holding his office as Judge of the Appellate Court. Some one made reference to me as being the best postmaster Chicago has ever had. I do not lay claim to any such distinc- tion, but I want to say to you men, including Alderman Jackson who has just come in here (Much applause and greetings as Alderman Jackson en- tered the room at this time)—THAT IF YOU MEN oe ELECT ME, AND I KNOW YOU CAN Do IT, to the highest office that is within the gift of the people of the City of Chi- cago, that I will use every effort and energy to be the best-mayor that Chicago has ever had. (Applause) and to that end I will appoint as the heads of the various departments the very best men available in order to assure you men—you citizens—an honest, efficient and economical ad- ministration of the affairs of this city. ‘The Public School System “A little while ago mention was made of the public schools of Chicago. I have some definite ideas along those lines. The Constitution of Illinois provides for a thorough and efficient system of free schools whereby all children within the State may receive 2 good common school education. It seems to me that there have been in Chicago some gross violations of the statutes which relate to the public school. One of my own children goes 10 school a half a day because there is not enough room for her to attend all day. Another one of my children s housed in one of these portable buildings, so that in my own family, there is suffering for lack of school facilities. Now, it is not my idea to be too harsh upon the management af our schools, but I do believe that che management is not what it should be. That does not mean that the Board is always at fault. Sometimes. the laws are faulty, but I do believe that if a Mayor is to be held respon- sible for the conduct of the members of the Board of HE SHOULD NOT ONLY HAVE THE. POWER TO DAO BUT HE SHOULD HAVE THE POWER TO panose WHEN, NECESSARY | ‘and for chat reason I am asking the legisla- ture not only to reduce the number of the Board of Trustees for the] Board of Education from eleven to} even, which I think is sufficient, but also to give me, as I am going to be the next mayor (applause) the power to remove any member of the school board for cause. If authority is granted under the law I will appoint men and women who will realize their duties as trustees for the children and who will appreciate the fact that our public school system is the very foundation of our republican form of government and who will have first pledged themselves to ree to it that every child in Chicago has a com- fortable seat in a modern school. I am not going to discuss at this time any of the other problems that may Present themselves during the term of the next mayor. May it suffice me to say that if I am elected, every at- tention will be given to the problems that may come up during the next four years. Denial of Discrimination at Post Office “I want to ask your indulgence for just a few minutes while I take up with you and discuss before you cer- tain insinuations that have recently been brought to my attention that, I take it, have not been made by my Political friends but my political en- emies of the Republican party. The other day I was shown a lefter in which it was charged that there was discrimination at the post office re- cently between the white and colored employees. I resigned, as I told you, on January 29th. All the insinuations in the letter occurred subsequent to that time, but no reference was made to the fact that I had resigned. Any- body reading that letter who didn's know, might think that I had some- thing to do with the conditions therein referred to. No basis exists, however, for these charges, because, as a mat. ter of fact, about the time that I re- signed a commission came here from Washington consisting of inspectors, who are frequently sent to the various large towns and, in fact, they go from one city to another. It appears that it became necessary in order to live within that appropriation to transfer certain clerks from one division to another, and to let out and discharge all who were not regular clerks, who, of course, could not be expected to be held under the Civil Service laws. Whites were transferred just the same as colored—men and women—and I haven't been able to discover that any discrimination was shown there. I can only say for myself, so far as my Fecord as postmaster is concerned, that I am willing to leave my conduct, insofar as my own treatment towards the colored boys and girls—leave it to THE MEMBERS OF THE PHA- LANX CLUB, TO THE CLERKS EMPLOYED IN THE CHICAGO POST OFFICE. (Applause). I do not believe that you will find a single employee in the Chicago Post Office, who was there while I was there, who will not say that I always TREATED THEM , FAIRLY, HONESTLY, AND WITH CONSIDERATION AND ON ABSOLUTE EQUALITY WITH WHITE EMPLOYEES. (Applause). \ Now, there is another thing that T want to make plain. That is this—It has been said that I am with this faction 8r that faction—that I have made certain promises to do- this or that, but I want to’say to you now that Tam not the candidate of any political faction, BUT I AM THE CANDIDATE OF THE REPUB- LICAN PARTY. (Applause). An- other thing I want to say is that I AM NOT OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY AND HAVE MADE NO PROMISES TO ANY NEWS- PAPER. Now I know that the news- papers are instruments that in our modern city and modern way of liv- ing, we couldn’t get along without. I have the greatest respect for them, be- cause they serve a great useful pur- pose, but T have no interest in any newspaper financially or otherwise. In other words, I have a private right to do as I please, and J am not afraid to’ make any if I want to make them. I MADE NO PROMISES. Now, som told me yesterday’ thes Fellae Doe ons here and that he was asked to make could make no promises. Well, there are certain promises that every man can consistently make, and I am go- ing to make you one. I want to say this to'you, THAT I AM GOING TO TREAT YOU FAIRER AND SQUARER THAN ANY MAYOR HAS EVER TREATED YOUR PEOPLE. (Great applause). And I will say furthermore, that I am not making that statement because I am a candidate, but I am making that statement because I have learned to! know your men in the post office AND TO KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO. I have the very kindest feeling to- ward you, and it is from this angle that I know and address you, and as- sure you that I will do all I can for you when I am in the position to do so. (Applause). Emphatic Denial of Affiliations With K. K. K. “Now, I have among other things a letter that was written, under date of March 9, 1923, in typewritten form, as coming from Bishop A. J. Carey, Edward H. Morris, and Oscar De Priest, in which it says “It has come to our knowledge that one of the can- didates will appoint as his Chief of Police a man who is a member of the Ku Klux Kian.” Now, of course, they do not say which one of the can- didates. There are several candidates —a Democratic candidate—a Socialist candidate—and a Republican candidate for mayor. This letter is indefinite, but in order to clear up the situation and not have any misunderstanding— in order that you won't have to ask me—I want to say that if it has ref- erence to myself, IT IS AN ABSO- LUTE FALSEHOOD FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER, and that this letter is gotten up for the pur- Pose of discrediting me and for the purpose of gaining some political ad- vantage on the part of the Democrats, 1 AM NOT A MEMBER OF THE KU KLUX KLAN. I do not know anything about them—any more than you do. If I was to name you one single smember who belongs to the Ku Klux Klan, I would have to study a long time to know who it was. I do not know them—have not had any understanding with them, and, fur- thermore, 1 AM NOT GOING TO APPOINT AS CHIEF OF POLICE ANY MEMBER BELONGING TO THE KU KLUX KLAN. (Great ap- plause). Appointment of Race Member on Board of Education “Mention was made a little while ago about your desire to get an ap- Pointee on the Board of Education I want to reply to that—THAT 1 KNOW OF ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHY THAT SHOULD NOT AND CANNOT BE DONE. (Great applause.) I notice that the colored people are doing everything in the world to go forward and to ed- ucate themselves, and to get into the front rank, and they can do it if they have the assistance of every good cit- zen, including the whites. If I ani elected as your mayor, I am going to CONSULT WITH TWO OF THE BEST ALDERMEN THAT THE CITY OF CHICAGO HAS, AND THEY ARE COLORED MEN. (Ap- plause.) And whenever you have any wants or desires, all you have to do is to go to your aldermen and tell them about it. My office will always be open to them and we will do everything in the world to please you. About Housing Conditions “Reference has been made to the housing condition. I know too well what the housing condition is. They have affected you just as well as they have everybody else. I am in a posi- tion to correct some of these things from my experience as a real estate man, and certainly I am not going to sit idly by and see anybody suffer if I can do anything, and if I become your mayor, I will see that the matter receives the attention it should. Now, I want to deny absolutely any charges or insinuations that have been made to injure my candidacy, or any- thing which reflects upon my conduct in the pagt office, or upon my life in any shape or manner. I will not stand for anyone throwing dirt. I do not mind fighting anybody on some ground that is worth fighting for. “Now, I tell you, my friends, what I think about this whole thing. If you find at any time that anyone says anything to you that does not seem to you just right and fair, you just ask him to prove it. If he proves jt, you believe him. If he doesn’t you believe me. Anybody can go around saying something about someone else that is not true.

I believe in keeping empty cans off the vacant lots—in keeping Giscago clean. believe in the inten God’s first temple. In flowers instead of weeds.

I see in Chicago the greatest city in the United States, and I believe in her future as the greatest city in the world, It is my desire to serve all the people of Chicago, and TO GIVE YOU, MEN, A SQUARE DEAL—I thank you.” (Great applause). eee In reply to a question asked by the Hon. A. H. Roberts, regarding vice ‘conditions, Mr. Lueder responded as follows: “I am very glad that you asked me that question. You have not heard me speak upon the question of vice. “My ideas on vice are very ‘clear, I have said on a number of occasions ‘that recent disclosures have shown wide open and commercailized vice existing on a very large scale in Chi- cago, and you, perhaps, know that the discovery was made not far from this ward. The Grand Jury Disclosures were amazing. It is difficult to wipe out all of the vice and every form of vice in a large and cosmopolitan city like Chicago, BUT IT CAN BE RE- DUCED TO A MINIMUM AND COMMERCIALIZED VICE CAN- NOT BE PERMITTED TO EXIST. IF I AM ELECTED, I WILL AP- POINT A CHIEF OF POLICE WHO WILL. RECEIVE INSTRUC. TIONS TO ELIMINATE WIDE OPEN AND. COMMERCIALIZED VICE IN THIS AND EVERY OTHER WARD, AND I WILL ee THAT HE DOES IT, AND THAT HE IS UNHAMPERED IN THAT WORK.
