The petition, filed by H. Edwin Bolte, who says he is an attorney of Washington, D. C., attacks the validity of the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution, alleging that it was never legally adopted, not having been proposed by two-thirds of each house of congress nor ratified by two-thirds of the states.

She will ably direct the wonderful pageant, which should be witnessed by thousands of the members of both races in this city for by so doing the whites will learn that there are thousands of colored people in this city and in other parts of this country who are constantly striving upwards in all things pertaining to the highest American citizenship.

It might not be rash to state right here and now that the 12 million colored people in this country have become a part and parcel of the great American citizenship and there is no power on earth to deprive them of the fruits of this land which they have with their hard labor caused to bloom and blossom like the beautiful rose in June.

He will stay at the Vincennes Hotel, 601 East 36th street, for three weeks. The prince, who is 34 years old, holds degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts and Science, Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Law and Doctor of Medicine for the University of Paris. His tour is being made in the interests of the Universal League for the Defense of the Black Race, of which he is president. "I cannot understand the American attitude toward Negroes," he contends.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 11, 1924 CROWE SHOWED HIS FRIEND- LINESS TO OUR GROUP IN EVERY TIME OF STRESS; WHEN DEMOCRATS WERE SEEKING TO DRIVE MEM- BERS OF OUR GROUP FROM CHICAGO, CROWE CHARGES THE GRAND JURY NOT TO INDICT ANOTHER ONE OF THEM UNTIL OTHER RIOT- ERS WERE INDICTED; THE PRESENT STATE'S ATTORNEY IS A FRIEND WHICH OUR GROUP SHOULD KEEP IN HIS PRESENT POSITION By Edward E. Wilson In his excellent article last week, Mr. Fields touched lightly on the question of Judge Crowe's attitude towards our group during the great race riots in Chicago. The present writer having gone through the whole crisis as an official of the County wishes to say that Mr. Fields' words were not only true but that they only told a small part of Judge Crowe's great friendliness to our group during this critical period. When Democrats were clamoring for the blood of the members of our group and when indictment after indictment had been returned against race members, Judge Crowe himself, being Chief Justice of the Criminal Court, told the Grand Jury that the presecution was one-sided and that it ought not to indict another member of our group until some of the white hoodlums who had started the riot were brought to justice. Then Mr. Pick, foreman of the Grand Jury, and Mr. George P. Bent, secretary of the Grand Jury, sent for me and told me that they informed the State's Attorney then in office that they would not indict another member of our group unless white rioters were also indicted. After Judge Crowe was elected State's Attorney he carefully examined all the riot cases against members of our group and practically all of them were found to be without merit, and thereupon he promptly dismissed the indictments. This subject has been discussed before the public at other times, but it is well to repeat it to show what sort of friend we have in the present State's Atotney and it may be well to add that at the time he did the best service for us he had no idea of running for office as he was then a judge of the Circuit Court with considerable time to serve. I think I may state without fear of contradiction that there never has been a time in the history of Cook County politics when the members of our group had so faithful a friend in office as at the present time, and when this is said we do not mean that he does not fairly and impartially enforce the law; but he does scrupulously see to it that no man is taken advantage of because of his race or color. One more thing, Judge Crowe is bitterly and unalterably opposed to the Ku Klux Klan, and for this reason the Kaln has an independent candidate in the field against him, hoping so to split the vote and to lef in the Democratic candidate. When Judge Crowe opposes the Klan, which openly hold that members of our group have no right to citizenship, and should not be a part of the American people, then Judge Crowe stands on exactly the same platform that we stand on. He insists that we are American citizens, that we should have all the rights and privileges of any other American citizen and that an organization like the Klan who takes the position that we are not citizens is an un-American institution, and not to be tolerated in American politics. We need not remark that tried and true friends ought not to be discarded for those who never uttered a word in our favor until they wanted a job, and certainly we should not aid or encourage the defeat of a man who has always shown himself four-square on the race question and we should not put in office either a representative of the Ku Klux Klan or one whose record on the race question is colorless and whose backers have always been hostile to the members of our group RETURNS FROM VACATION Mrs. Mae Watkins, clerk at Hayes Book Store, 3640 S.

We can not say too much for Mr. Lemonier as he has given to us some wonderful hymns—"Jesus Is Coming Soon," "Hear Us, O Father," and many others. The only way that we can encourage our composers is to get their songs and sing them, and as a race, we are learning daily to lift as we climb. Prof. N. Clark Smith has not only proven to us that he is a musician, but has won great credit for himself at the Chicago Musical College We are proud of this broad-minded man. He has done some wonderful work for us and it is the old singers of Chicago that know. We wish Prof. Smith success and the Original Treble Clef is indeed anxious to sing the chorus that Prof. Smith is arranging for them. There was a grand musical given at the South Park Church under the direction of Prof. Ed. F. Morris last Sunday evening. Prof. Morris is a wonderful teacher. Be sure to get next week's issue of this paper and learn more of Prof. Morris and what he has done for Chicago in the musical world. THE OPENING OF THE BINGA STATE BANK Monday, October 20, the Binga State Bank will be located in the new Binga State Bank Building, S. State Street, at 35th Street, and from Monday, the 20th, to Saturday, October 25, its fifteen thousand and more depositors and other patrons including its stock holders, are cordially invited to join with its officers, in celebrating the 'sixteenth anniversary of the existence or the founding of the bank. It will be one of jollification from beginning to the end of the celebration. It is expected that Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Hon. J. C. Napier, ex-Register of the U. S. Treasury, President of the Penny Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., Prof. Aaron Malone, President Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., will be among the distinguished speakers on the happy occasion. Col. John R. Marshall, vice president of the Binga State Bank, will serve as master of ceremonies. The bank was opened October 21, 1908, by Mr. Jesse Binga, its president and it has had a remarkable solid financial growth or development from that time to the present. The new Binga State Bank is thoroughly modern and up-to-date in every respect and the bank building cost $150,000. HON. C A L V I N COOLIDGE SHOULD BE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR HE IS THE MOST CAPABLE OF THE THREE DISTINGUISHED ASPIRANTS SEEKING THAT HIGH OFFICE By Congressman Martin B. Madden The paramount issue in this presidential election is the preservation of our fundamental laws and the right of the United States Supreme Court to interpret them. It is only by living close to the Constitution that the rights and liberties of the minority are secure. If the decisions of the Supreme Court can be set aside by Congress, what assurance have we that a radical Congress would not sometime enact laws taking existing rights away from those who most need protection? To place in the hands of Congress such power would be to say to any minority: "You have no rights which we are bound to respect." It must be well understood that there is a decided movement in favor of eliminating the power of the Supreme Court to decide the constitutionality of laws enacted by Congress and to grant authority to the Congress to override such decisions of the Supreme Court. The Constitution of the United States, as it exists today, was written after many years of careful consideration and after the expenditure of vast sums of money and the loss of many lives. It may, therefore, be said to have been written in the blood of our ancestors. Shall we say now that all this shall be set aside at the behest of radicals who believe in taking the Government into their own hands irrespective of law? Only through the continued maintenance of our form of Government as it was created by our forefathers are the rights of the minority safeguarded. What if some radical movement should succeed and a radical Congress and President be installed in power? What if such a Congress and such a president should be elected on the issue of the abolition of the Constitutional guarantees? That is the issue today. We are all interested in defeating such an issue, but no one is so much concerned in its defeat as the minority. I think all other questions before the American people in this campaign pale into insignificance. Financial problems have been handled with great fidelity by the existing Government. No such achievements have been accomplished by men in control of any government anywhere as have been accomplished under the direction of the present Republican Government now in control of the nation. We have a man in the White House who believes in law and order; who has the courage of his convictions; who is in sympathy with those who most need the protection of their rights. He has the confidence of the American people; he has earned it. False prophets should not influence any of us in the course which we should follow in the coming election. We have a paramount duty. That duty is to protect our own interests and to preserve the rights which have been accorded to us by the Constitution and laws of the land. We can best preserve them by continuing Calvin Coolidge in the presidency and the election of a Congress which believes in fair dealing and whose sympathies go out to those who are most likely to be discriminated against in the event of a radical success.

Beard was born in the State of Geor- gia, in 1870. He has been a minister in the African Methodist Church 30 years. He graduated from Georgia State College and Gammon Theologi- cal Seminary. He was dean of Allen University and pastor of some of the largest churches in the connection. His church, Morris Brown, is one of the largest churches in South Caro- lina. Besides being the minister, he is a business man of prominence, being vice president of the Federation Bank ob Chackeaton, THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 11, 1974 WHY HON. OSCAR WOLFF SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED jvoters of Cook County will be called jupon to fill one of the most important joffices in Cook County, that of Cor- oner. Hon. Oscar Wolff, the present Coroner, is a candidate for re-election, jand a few observations relative to the manner in which he has conducted his office during the past two years are Pertinent at this time. Immediately after having been elected to office, he realized that one jof the gravest conditions the author- ities of this county had to contend ‘with was the ever-increasing number fof deaths due to automobile acci- dents. Carefully studying and an- jalyzing the circumstances surrounding these so-called accidents and the Ordi- mances of the City of Chicago and laws ‘of the State-of- Iitinois then effective, regulating automobile traffic upon our streets and highways, he concluded that not sufficient protection against careless and reckless drivers was given to pedestrians obliged to use our streets in the course of their daily foutine and to children too young to look after their own welfare, in whom we are all interested. In order to inform himself as to the most effective methods employed in large, thickly settled communities in combating this peril, he visited all the important eastern cities at his own ex- pense and learned first hand how the authorities there handled this perplex- ing problem, and with the informa- tion derived in this manner so con- ducted the affairs of his office that the steady increase in the number of deaths by automobiles in this county ‘was halted and for the first time in a Period of ten years this awful death fate was on the decline, and this in spite of the large number of automo- biles in use and the steady increase in Population. Coroner Wolff instituted another important reform in which the public is vitally interested in the manner of selecting juries impaneled to inquire ‘into the cause of such deaths. Under the system in vogue in the Coroner's office at the time he took hold, the jurors in these cases were selected by the deputies assigned to such cases and the deputies, having many details to look after and sometimes two or three cases to handle in a day, were unable to give sufficient time to. the selection of intelligent and open-minded jurors and investigate properly the circum- stances attending the death under in- quiry. * Realizing ‘that investigators were ab- solutely necessary. to attend)jto these important details, Coroner Wolff ap- pealed to the Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County who pass upon the number of employes to be allotted to his office, for more help and was told the County could not afford it and his request was refused. Undaunted by this unexpected lack ‘of co-operation on the part of the judges, he hired four investigators, paying their salaries out of his own purse, assigned them to cases in which automobiles were concerned, to in- vestigate the circumstances attending the fatality and select substantial cit- izens, residing in the vicinity where the death occurred, to act as jurors and inquire fully into the details and fix the responsibility. These investi- gators also investigated cases and se- lected jurors to inquire into deaths due to building operations, accidents in manufacturing establishments, etc. Due to the greater care exercised in the selection of jurors, the number of careless and reckless drivers held to the GrandJuryona charge of murder lor manslaughter by Coroner's juries has been doubled in the past two years, which result is responsible in no small measure in reducing the number of deaths from this cause, This work so well begun should be encouraged and Hon, Oscar Wolff re- turned to office by a majority which will show him that the public, and jespecially the people of our race, ap- Preciate conscientious service and beneficial results. What fate has in store for us or for our loved ones, no /man can tell, and as this office con- jcerns all of us, regardless of political affiliations, we owe him a vote of con- Se ee ed MADAM FLORENCE COLE TAL- BERT IN SONG RECITAL AT ST.

ECHOES FROM CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, WHERE IT IS ASSERTED THAT HON. JOHN W. DAVIS, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND HIS FATHER, THE LATE JOHN J.DAVIS, ATTEMPTED TO DISFRANCHISE THE COLORED VOTERS IN THAT STATE AND TO JIM CROW THEM ON RAILROAD TRAINS WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH THAT STATE. | “FROM THE MAN ON THE CORNER.” Charleston, W. Va—West Virginia Negroes are opposing the candidacy of John W. Davis, Democratic nomi- nee for the Presidency, on the ground that he is unfriendly to their race and that his election would place in jeop- ardy their right of dranchise. They are preparing to launch a nation-wide campaign in opposition to his candi- dacy. Negro speakers will be sent from West Virginia into other states to tell of the activities of the Demo- cratic candidate in proposing legisla- tion inimical to their interests. ‘Mr. Davis has incurred the opposi- tion of the Negroes of his native state because of an effort to strip them of their right of suffrage and to provide “Jim Crow” gars for their transporta- tion on railroads within West Virginia, Planks favoring separate cars on rail- road trains for the two races and con- demning the enfranchisement of “an inferior race” were incorporated in the Democratic platform in a State con- vention held in Charleston in 1908 John W. Davis and his father were delegates to this convention. The father, the late John J. Davis, was chairman of the committee on resolu- tions, which prepared the two planks, and spoke in the convention for their adoption The delegation in the con- vention from Harrison County, of which the father and son were mem- bers supported both planks. The convention of 1908, held in Charleston on July: 29, of that year, was the last Democratic convention held in the state for the purpose of nominating state officers. John W. Davis and his father were accredited leaders of the Democratic party at that time. The present Democratic nominee for the Presidency was the manager in the convention of the gu- bernatorial campaign of the late Thomas E. Hodges, who was defeated for the nomination for Governor by Louis Bennett of Weston. George Byrne, newspaper editor, who died a few months ago at Wil- liamson, was the leader of the move- ment in the Democratic party to dis- franchise the Negro. The adoption of the plank was the successful culmina- tion of a contest he had waged for years. Many of the Democratic lead- ers in the state were opposed to the adoption of the planks in the Demo- cratic platform, advising that the course was suicidal for the party. The contest over the two planks was bitter. When John J. Davis, the THE PRINCE HALL MASONS TO LAY CORNER STONE OF NEW MASONIC TEMPLE Sunday, October 12, the Prince Hall Masons from far and near will join hands and take part in laying the corner stone of the new Masonic Temple now being constructed at the corner of 56th and State streets. The greatest street parade in con- nection with the corner stone laying will march through the streets on the south side. General C. L. Hill will be the Chief marshal of the day. Formation of the Parade The following will be the formation of the great parade: First Division, Chief Marshal and Staff and Escort of Police will form ‘on Wabash avenue facing south, right resting on 4Ist street. Second Division will form on Wab- jash avenue between 39th and 40th streets in rear of First Division, fac- jing south, (Elk Lodges march four abreast.) ‘Third Division will form on Wabash avenue between 38th and 39th streets jin rear of the Second Division facing South. Fourth Division will form on 4ist ‘street between State street and Michi- gan avenue, right resting on Wabash avenue. (Subordinate Lodges in fours.) © Fifth Division will form on 42nd ‘street between Wabash avenue and Michigan avenue, fight resting on Wabash avenue, facing west. Sixty Division will form on 42nd father of the Democratic nominee and ‘chairman of the committee on resolu- ‘tions, reported the platform to the convention, a tong debate ensued. Colone! John T. McGraw, for many years Democratic national committee- man, reciting that he was opposed to the incorporation of the two planks in the platform, moved for their recom- mitment for further consideration by the committee. The motion prevailed. After several hours of strife in the committee room the committee again reported favorably the two resolu- tions. Another gruelling battle was waged on the floor of the convention. Chairman Davis made a final appeal for the adoption of the resolutions and they were inserted in the platform by a vote of 710 to 412, In this debate the father of the Democratic nominee was a striking figure. More than 70 years of age, straight as a young sap- ling, with flowing white hair and beard, the venerable committee chair- man made one of the greatest efforts of a political career that began with the formation of his state and ended with his death a few years later. The delegates which John W. Davis corralled for Hodges for the guber- natorial nomination were almost a unit for the adoption of the two planks. Monongalia county, the home ‘of Hodges, voted solidly for the reso- lutions, The plank which proposed the dis- franchisement of the Negroes reads: “Believing that the extension of the elective franchise to a race inferior in intelligence and without preparation for the wise and prudent exercise of a privilege so vital to the maintenance of good government, was a mistake if not a crime, committed by the Repub- lican party during the reign of passion and prejudice following the Civil war, for political ends and purposes, we de- clare the Democratic party is in favor of amending the constitution so as to preserve the Purity of the ballot and the electorate of the state from the evil results from conferring such powers and privileges upon those who are unfitted to appreciate its impor- ‘tance as it affects the stability and preservation of good government.” The plank proposing separate coaches reads: “We favor enactment of a law re- ‘quiring common carriers engaged in Passenger traffic to furnish separate ‘coaches or compartments for white ‘and colored passengers.” street between Wabash avenue and State Street facing east and on State street, between 41st and 42nd streets, facing south, with right of line resting on Wabash avenue.
