THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1923 THOUSANDS OF COLORED MEN AND WOMEN, RESIDING IN ALL PARTS OF THIS GREAT CITY, WILL ON TUESDAY, APRIL 3, ASSIST TO ELECT HON. WILLIAM E. DEVER MAYOR OF CHICAGO. EVERY COLORED PERSON WHO VOTES FOR JUDGE DEVER, VOTES AGAINST THE NEGRO HATING SHEET, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE. HON. JOHN A CERVENKA 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. 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 Hon. John A. Cervenka, Democratic Candidate for City Treasurer, was born in Czecho-Slovakia in the year 1870, came to Chicago with his parents, John and Mrs. Marie Cervenka, five brothers and a sister, in the year 1882, and settled on the great West Side, living there continually to date. After finishing his education in the public and night schools, he chose and learned the trade of cabinet maker, assisting his parents in supporting the large family. He entered business in 1899 and conducted the same successfully until 1903, when with a few enthusiastic friends organized the Pilsen Products Company, a cooperative concern which from its most inception grew into a great institution, owned by several hundred stock-holders. This company also owns and operates the well-known Pilsen Park and Dancing Pavilion. Mr. Cervenka jumped into the field of active politics in the old 8th, later known as the 10th and now the 26th Ward, and in recognition of his un-tiring services and being considered one of the most influential leaders of his own race, was in the year 1910 selected by the so-called Harmony Committee a running mate to such candidates as Hons. Robert M. Sweitzer, William L. O'Connell, Michael Zimmer, Frank J. Walsh, also the present candidate for mayor, Hon. William E. Dever, then a sitting alderman, candidate on the Judicial Ticket, was nominated in the Democratic primary with the rest of those mentioned and elected to the office of Clerk of the Probate Court of Cook REV. H. E. STEWART, THE HONEST, STRAIGHT FORWARD PASTOR OF QUINN CHAPEL WAS INTRODUCED TO HON. WILLIAM E DEVER BY JULUIS F. TAYLOR Tuesday afternoon, the writer had the pleasure of presenting Rev. H. E. Stewart, the honest pastor of Quinn Chapel, who is not a politician in any sense of the word, to Hon. William E. Dever, the next Mayor of Chicago, prejudice and that they are greatly interested in the welfare of 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 County for the term of 1910-1914 and re-elected for the term 1914-1918. During his incumbency, he installed improvements and modern methods in this office, speeding up closing of estates, perfecting correct recording of same, examining the Bonds of Sureties, thereby securing the safety of heirs and beneficiaries. In the year of 1913, after Probate Judge Cutting's resignation, being entrusted with the responsibility of filling the place of said judge until the expiration of his term, he selected Judge Gregg, then County Judge and one of the leading Democrats of Marshall County, who made such a wonderful record while in said office, up to the election of Probate Judge Henry Horner in November, 1914. He was appointed by former Mayor Carter H. Harrison on the Chicago Plan Commission, is a member of same. During the World War, Mr. Cervenkau was called upon and responded by acting as a member and speaker of Foreign Language Division, was chosen in his home territory as the President of Citizens Committee of the 83rd Division, State Council of Defense and participated in all patriotic undertakings. He is President of Czecho-Slovak National Council of America, also Chairman of Czecho-Slovak Democratic League of Cook County; member of the Iroquois Club of Chicago, Historical Society, Art Institute of Chicago, Arts Club, Lawdale Auto Club. President of Boheman-American Hospital and Director of Charitable Associations. In 1890, Mr. Cervenkau was happily united in who informed Rev. Stewart that he could not find sufficient words to express his everlasting gratitude to the colored people for their loyal support which they are rendering unto him at this time. He requested Rev. Stewart to inform his members and hearers at Easter Services Sunday, that in case he is elected Mayor of Chicago that the colored people will receive fair treatment and have a voice in its affairs during his administration. 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. 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 an humble member of the Afro-American race we feel exceedingly proud of the vast majority of the colored people residing in this city, for at last, after long years of preaching on our part, they have finally arrived at the point where they will no longer permit any set of politicians to look in their faces and tell how they are going to vote simply by the color of their skin, and the latest political move on the part of the colored people shows that they are making strides forward along political lines and that thousands of them wil vote for Hon. William E. Dever for mayor, who has pledged his word and honor to the writer that "in case he is elected that he will give/the colored people of this city a square deal and fair treatment." marriage to Miss Antoinette Bolek, and they are the proud parents of two children, a daughter Alice, married to Harry Rohde, son of the late Fred Rohde, former alderman of the 11th Ward and recognized West Side Democratic leader, and a son, John A. Jr., connected with the American State Bank, of which the candidate is a director and Vice President. Mr. and Mrs. Cervenka reside in a lovely home at 2438 South Lawndale avenue in the new 22nd Ward, where they have lived since 1908. At all times the word of Mr. Cervenka is his bond, for prior to the election in 1910, William H. Clark, Dr. Bert Anderson, John H. Coleman and Julius F. Taylor called on him for the purpose of asking him if he was elected clerk of the Probate Court would he appoint a competent colored man to a responsible position in his office, and he promptly responded that he would and shortly after December 15, 1910, the same gentlemen called on him and requested him to make good and he informed them to recommend some one to him and Mr. George D. Gray was selected by the above mentioned men for the position and Mr. Gray held his present position for eight years under Mr. Cervenka and for over four years under Mr. John F. Devine and it must be said to the great credit of Mr. Cervenka that he didn't permit himself to be swayed by race prejudice and that he will make an ideal City Treasurer of Chicago. A colored murderer in Hazard, Kentucky, asked for an all-colored jury to pass judgment on his case. He got his wish, and the first all-colored jury in the State convicted him in eleven minutes and he was sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty-one years. 340E 7203 HON. JOHN A.

Gorman, who is one of the most popular and ae. lawyers and politicians in this City or state, was born'right here in old Chi- “cago in 1875, and he received his edu- catoin in its public schools. After emerging from the public schools he studied architecture at the Chicago Athenaeum ,and practiced that profession for several years with great success. Senator Gorman, who always de- ports himself like a highly polished gentleman, who took to politics as easily as a duck takes to water, in 1900 was elected Supervisor of the old Town of Lake and was re-elécted in 1901; in 1908 he was elected to the State Senate from fe Fourth Sena- torial District of Illinois and without the slightest opposition he was re- lected in 1912 and 1916, serving all told 12 years, and most of that time he was the able and far-seeing Democratic leader of the State Senate. < His brilliant record as State Sena- tor caused the Legislative Voters’ League to sound his praise in the fol- Jowing manner in 1920: “Senator Gorman is ending his third term with a repel which has reflected credit upon hid'district. He amply de- serves ination.” For he. years.

Hull has been that man.” ‘Mr. Hull pledges himself to spend all his time in working for the inter- ests of his constituents and in a re- cent speech went on record to urge the dropping of “blocisms” and the like and bring the whole forces of right thinking elements together in a national point of view. “Bickering and clashing” he says, “will only increase our troubles and not solve our problems. Let us join hands as patriotic Americans and put our whole country on a basis high above petty jealousies and let us work out all difficulties from a national point of view.”—Adv. F DEATH TAKES MRS.

FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO ‘The Second Mayor William Hale ‘Thompson Among the Colored People in This City fe ~ * ags Within the past two or three weeks the following question has been. pro- pounded to the writer by Democrats and Republicans several thousand times: “Mr. Taylor, or Editor Tay- lor, is it true that many colored peo- pie are deserting the ranks of the Re- publican party and are marching under the banner of Hon. William E. Dever for mayor of Chicago?” To all such questions we respond that that is the absolute truth; that it is no use for any one to attempt to disguise that fact; that the colored people in this city have waked up and “risen” up in all their might and faty against The Chicago Tribune and jthey bitterly resent its long and con- tinued bitter fight against Mayor Wil- liam Hale Thompson, the second Abraham Lincoln to the colored race, and by its continued use of its dis- honest bludgeon over his head forced him out of the race for mayor of Chicago. | That is the main cause why the colored people are up in arms and are hot after the scalps of The Chicago Tribune, Hon. Medill McCormick, Hon. Edward J. Brundage, Hon. Rob- ert E. Crowe and their associates, and they feel that now is the time to teach them a lesson which they will never forget. ‘And with this end in view maiff colored people continue to look upon Hon, William E. Dever as the second William Hale Thompson. As an evidence that the colored women are asserting their political in- dependence lately the Independent Colored Women’s “Dever for Mayor” Club was organized, which is com- posed of some of the best and most ‘prominent colored women in this city. They are assisting fo conduct the campaign from the headquarters of William E. Dever for mayor, No. 10 N. Clark street, and no question about it, it is a grand sight to behold colored women and white women, white men and colored men all mixed in or up together, talking loudly and working like beavers to put Judge Dever over the plate. One thing must be said to the credit of thé colored women, who are working at the Dever headquarters, that they are all neatly dressed and look as attractive as the white ladies. Independent Colored Women’s “Dever for Mayor” Club ‘The following are the officers of the Independent Colored Women’s “Dever for Mayor” Club: Chairman} Mrs. Mary C.

The action of these workers in this instance car- ries a story, according to Mr. Cross- waith. The story is this: The Negroshas at last arrived at the crossroad of his career here in the United States; for ages he has ha¢ unwillingly to beat the evils of lynch- ings, segregation, disfranchisement, etc, While bearing these burdens he stuck true to the party of Lincoln and Douglass and Roosevelt with the high hopes that fait ss would ‘eventually move the ie of that party and its ives to do ‘something tangible for him and his race; he has grown gray hoping, while the evils visited upon him are increas- ing with frightful rapidity. He has seen the reorganization of his nemesis, the infamous, K. K. K. He sees the gaunt figure of “jim-crow- rap eager atigutioen = is aware of a campaign fur- ther to discredit him before the rest of his fellow-citizens. Yea, he has Caretully read and thoroughly grasped the significance of President Hard. ing’s Alabama speech, in which the President gave official approval to al! the. evils from which Negroes suffer, and, pondering over his cursed lot he has decided to break loose from the‘old moorings; he is surely turn. ing his back on the old ideas and in- stitutions and traditions that have served him ill in the past. Our task in this matter is clear; our duty calls us to the aid of these biack wotking men and women who, by every right and reason, belong to us, Let us manfully face our obliga- tions; let us resolve once and for all that the fine and ennobling character- istics of the Negro—his ready wit his humor, his song, his music, his glib tongue—these shall be drawn upon to enrich and spiritualize the revolutionary working class move- ment; let us begin a campaign of ap- peal and education among our Negro fellow workers, so that, with our ranks closed tight, our hearts un- daunted, we will march om and on over the rugged walls of cruel cap- italism to Socialism and the ¢o-oper- ative commonwealth, in which the strong won't lynch the weak: where hate, prejudice and war will find no place, but wherein will dwell all the sons of men—black, brown, yellow and white—heartily co-operating with each other for* the good of all. Forward to our duty, Comrades, MANY COLORED WOMEN ARE JOINING THE SECOND WARD DEVER FOR MAYOR CLUB Without attempting to disguise the plain facts, it must be admitted that ee colored people in all parts of ‘this city will on Tuesday, April 3, vote in favor of Hon. William E. Dever for Mayor of Chicago. In the Second Ward Madam Adys V. Musgrove, the fashionable cos- tumer, 184 W. Washington street, has become the chairman of the Dever for Mayor Club of the Second Ward; Mrs. A. Graves, first vice chairman; Mrs. M. P. Rhambo, second vice chairman, and Mrs, E. Alexander, sec- retary. Every ho@ in the day colored men and women are joining the Dever for Mayor Club of the Second Ward and without price or the promise of any money, Madam Musgrove has become fone of the most active workers for Judge Dever for Mayor in the Second ‘Ward, or in all parts of the city. Madam Musgrove frequently. visits the Democratic headquarters, No. 10 N. Clark street, where she has met in conference with Mrs.. William E. Dever, Mrs. George E. Brennan, Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, Miss Mary Mc- Dowell ang the many other ladies con- nected with the mayoralty campaign, and Madam Musgrove states that all of the ladies treat her with the great- est eonsideration. FIGHT THE WILL OF WHITE FATHER LEAVING FOR- TUNE TO COLORED DAUGHTER €harleston, W. Va—Legal proceed- ings to set aside the will of Roman Pickens, anticipated since it was pro- bated, have been instituted by John E, his brother, and a bitter fight is in prospect for the large estate left by the decedent to his daughter “out- side the law.” Pickens, once sheriff of this—Kana- wha county—and a picturesque figure, died in December last, bequeathing his estate to Garnet Pickens, locally known and generally accepted as his daughter by a colored woman, long a domestic in his household. The will gave the entire estate, appraised at $209,000, to Miss Garnet, with directions that she “treat with love and affection” the lawful widow, ‘Mary E. Pickens (white), who holds legal rights during her life time, It was also directed that she well and comfortably provide for “Cora,” the servant, during her life. | Much common-sense advice was ‘conveyed to the heiress, a beautiful young woman, who has since reached her majority, by the document. It directs her to consult with experi- enced business men in all business affairs, cautions her never to sign or endorse any notes and warns her that she will be the object of the schemes of designing persons. The beneficiary is also commanded not to sell any of the real estate until she reaches the of thirty years, as the real prop- erty, located in this city and in the farming sections of this and neighbor- ing counties, rapidly is increasing’ in value. H. P. Brightwell, city treasurer and vice president of a local trust com- pany, of which Pickens was a direc- tor, was named administrator by the will an@ other prominent officials of the same institution were appointed appraisers by the court. ‘Miss Pickens has had little or no association with other members of her race than her mother, with whom she lived in the home of her father on a farm at Tornado, about 18 miles up Coal river, in a white farming settle- ment. There being no colored school and her father being averse or too “close” to send her away, she, to those who know her intimately, say, fhas had the advantage of only what fittle education her parents and an awe _ HON.

ARTHUR C. LUEDER, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO, DELIVERED THE FOLLOW- ING SPLENDID SPEECH, OR ORATION, BEFORE THE MEMBERS OF THE APPO- MATTOX CLUB, 3632 GRAND BOULEVARD, LAST FRIDAY EVENING. His SPEECH REPORTED IN FULL BY CARL L. COTTON Tia = i NRE eS age ee aoe era TN Dave Hawley, Vice President of the Appomattox Club. * The following is his address: “Mr. Chairman, members of the Ap- pomattox Club, and Friends: “1 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. T 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 im time of peace and who has no greater ambition, even now, than to serve his couritrymen 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 thefgall that came from the citizens of this great and splendid city. + Resignation From Federal Position as Postmaster “A year and @ half ago 1 was ap- pointed as your postmaster, I tried to perform the duties of that office faithfully and conscientioysly. I re- signed from that position on January 20th 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 Jndge of the Appellate Court. Some ‘one made reference to me as being the best postmaster Chicago has ever had. T do not lay claim to any such distine- 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 WILL ELECT ME, AND I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT, to the high¢#t office that is within the sift of the people of the City of Chi- cago, that I will use e¥ery 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 yarious 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. T have some definite ideas along those fines. The Constitution of Illinois provides for a thorough and efficient system of free schools whereby all children within the State may receive a 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 to school.a half a day because there is not enough room for her to attend all day. Another one of my children is 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 ‘of our schools, but I do believe that the management is not what it should be. That does not mean that the Board is abays at fal Sometime 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 Education, HE SHOULD NOT ONLY HAVE THE POWER TO APPOINT, BUT HE SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE POWER TO REMOVE WHEN [NECESSARY (Applause) and for that reason I am asking the legisla- ture not only to reduce the number fof the Board of Trusters for the ‘Board of Education from eleven to which I think is sufficient, but also to give me, as Zam 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 thei duties as trustees for the children and who will appreciate the fact that our public school system js the very foundation of our republican form o} government and who will have firs pledged themselves to -ce to it that every child in Chicago has a com- fortable seat in a modern school. 1 am not going to discuss at this time any of the other problems that may present themselves during the term ofthe 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, 1 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 letter in which it was charged that there wa: discrimination at the post office re- cently between the white and colored employees. 1 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 r@tigned. Any- body reading that letter who didn’s know, might think that I had some- thing to do with the conditions thetein 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 1 haven't been able to discover that any discrimination was shown there. 1 can only say for myself, so far ag my record as postmaster is capcerned, 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). 1 dc not believe that you will find a single employee in the Chicago Post Office who was there while I was there, whe will not say that Ialways TREATED THEM FAIRLY, HONESTLY AND WITH CONSIDERATION AND ON ABSOLUTE EQUALITY WITH WHITE EMPLOYEES (Applause). é Now, there is another thing that 1 want to make plain. That is this—I has been said that I am with this faction or that faction—that I have made certain promises to do this or that, but I want to say to you now that T am 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 out modern Seas ‘modern way of liv. ing, we couldn't get along without. 1 have the greatest respect for them, be. cause they serve a great useful pur. Pose, but I have no interest in any newspaper financially or otherwise In other words, I have a private righ’ to do as I as at ee ao to make any promises if I want t PROMISES, “Wow, sominty tl ored people. I understand he said he 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 T 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 Klan” 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, I AM NOT A MEMBER OF THE KU KLUX KLAN. I do not know anything about ‘them—any more thar you do. If I was'to name you one single member who belongs to the Ku Klux Klan, I would have to study a long time to know who it was. 1 do not know them—have not had any understanding with them, and, fur- thermore, I 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 z 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 I 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 worldito 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- ian, including the whites. If I am 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 T 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 post office, or upon my life in any shape or manner. I will not stand for anyone throwing dirt. T do not mind fighting anybody on some ground that is worth fighting for. a he T 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 it, you believe him. If he doesn’t you believe me. Anyboiy can go around saying something about someone else that is not true. I think it is your duty as itis call Cahatanss tty. tent Skt elle lot of excuses. THEY WANT AC- TION. They do not want words. THEY WANT DEEDS. They do not want a lot of promises they know he cannot keep, THEY WANT A MAN WHO MAKES REAL PROMISES AND KEEPS THEM. (Applause). THEY WANT A BUSI- NESS MAN TO RUN A BUSI- NESS INSTITUTION, I am for Chicago. I was bora— just on the out-skirts of the city. I was raised here, I love Chicago and her people—her boys and girls—her old and young—her rich and the poor. I love her institutions, and I believe in her civic growth—to make it the best place to live in and the hardest place to get away from. I believe in the broom, the street sweeper, and the paint pot. I believe in keeping empty cans off the vacant lots—in keeping Chicago clean. I believe in the trees, Gof's Srst temple. Tn Sowers instead of weeds. I BELIEVE IN THE PROMOTION OF THAT FEL- LOWSHIP WHICH KNOWS NO RACE NOR CREED. (Applause). And that brings peace and good will to all men and to all nations. 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). _Political Advertisement DUNBAR SOCIETY WINS AT HAMPTON The Administration Ship Subsidy Bill ‘Wins a Victory—Awards for Prize Essays Hampton, Va—The annual Adams prize debate on “Resolved, That the Administration Ship Subsidy Bill Should Be Passed by the Congress,” recently held in Ogden Hall, Hamp- ton Institute, was won by the affirma- tive team of the Dunbar Literary So- ciety, consisting of Thomas W.
