Madden in the Halls of Congress Almost Single-Handed and Alone, for the Past Twenty Years He Has Stood Up in the Lower House of Congress and Has Unflinchingly Championed the Righteous Cause of the Colored People in the United States Hon. Mitchell C. Robin, Democratic Candidate for Clerk of the Superior Court of Cook County Alderman Jacob M. Arvey will be Elected Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County Read the following record of Hon. Martin B. Madden on his untiring labors on behalf of his everlasting or steadfast friendship for the colored race, in and out of Congress, for it speaks for itself. It has been wisely stated that to prepare a minute or a detailed history of Congressman Madden's record and activities in behalf of the colored race in this country would extend from this city to New York City and back to Chicago. The following may be interesting reading to those who are not so familiar with his work to judge for themselves how conscientious and effective his efforts have been in the halls of Congress for more than twenty years. Congressman Madden, who will be re-elected to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois on Tuesday, November 4, has always been recognized as one of the most fair-minded men in Congress. All through his career he has believed in and advocated a single citizenship as provided by the Constitution and has always been very insistent that no person under the American flag should be denied any privilege or protection accorded by the terms of the Constitution. Mr. Madden's speech on the floor of the House of Representatives on February 27, 1909, in defense of the Hon. Mitchell C. for Clerk of the With the election day only several weeks off, the headquarters of Hon. Mitchell C. Robin, Democratic candidate for Clerk of the Superior Court of Cook County, has received the endorsements of thousands of Republicans as well as Democrats. His campaign headquarters has been opened at Room 402, 10 N. Clark street, and in Room 311, the Sherman House, and from the daily reports received by his campaign manager, there is no doubt that Mr. Robin will be the next Clerk of the Superior Court of Cook County. Mr. Robin was born and raised in this city and educated in its public and high schools. While a young man, he served as a Precinct Committeeman under Hon. Dennis J. Egan, Bailiff of the Municipal Court. He later was Alderman Jacob of the Supe With the nomination of Alderman J. M. Arvey of the 24th Ward for Judge of the Superior Court, the Democratic party has placed for election a man who has given considerable service to the community while a member of the City Council. Alderman Arvey is a member of the Press Club, Ancient Order of Free Masons, Odd Fellows, Eastern Star, and other philanthropic and fraternal organizations. He was assistant State's Attorney in 1918, 1919 and 1920 and has made hosts of friends. At the pressut time, he is chairman of Mayor Dever's Radio Commission and a member of the Transportation Committee. During his duties in pub- --- "Brownsville Soldiers" should be sufficient to entitle him to the gratitude of the colored element of our citizenship if he had done nothing else during his career, but his record throughout is replete with manifestations of interest in the colored people. During the control of the country by the Democrats Mr. Madden was especially watchful of the interests of the colored race, and fortunately so. The official records show that during the 63rd Congress many bills imminal to the colored people were introduced by Southern Democrats and pressed for passage, and bint for the efforts of Mr. Madden many of these would have been enacted into law. We call your attention to three of these bills: H. R. 13772 introduced by Congressman Edwards of Georgia entitled, "A bill to segregate Government employees of the white race from those of African blood or descent;" H. R. 5958, by Congressman Aswell of Louisiana, entitled, "A bill to effect certain reforms in the civil service by segregating clerks and employees of the white race from those of African blood or descent;" H. R. 6150, introduced by the new Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, "To require street railways carrying passengers in their cars within the District of Columbia to provide equal but separate accommodations for the white and colore C. Robin, Democ Superior Court appointed as Clerk in the County Tax Department. He was then made Depu- ty Clerk in the office of the late John W. Rainey, Clerk of the Circuit Court, where he gained the experience neces- sary to conduct an efficient office. After serving for a short time as member of the Real Estate Board of the Sanitary District of Chicago, he was appointed a member of the Board of Local Improvements by Mayor William E. Dever, where he has made a wonderful record for himself and where he has gained commendation for his integrity, ability and honesty. Mr. Robin, like his bosom friend, Hon. Michael Rosenberg, has always very friendly to the colored race and has shown his kindly disposition toward them as Assistant Secretary of the Board of Local Improvements. b M. Arvey will be terior Court of Co lic service, Alderman Arvey has served the public efficiently and honestly and with a view of giving the public a square deal. Alderman Arvey has shown his ability as a legislature and it is be- lieved that he will be an honor to the bench of the Superior Court and he will be elected on November 4. Both men and women can vote for him. Alderman Arvey is an open enemy of the Ku Klux Klan and has introduced resolutions in the Council con- demning the movement as un-American. It is expected that all who have have appreciation of Liberty, love and justice will vote for him. Former Mayor William H. Thomp- races, and to prescribe punishment and penalties for violating its provisions." There were many others of this character, but we simply cite the three and ask our readers if he can imagine anything more un-American than an effort by the Democrats to put such laws upon our statute books in violation of the provisions of the Constitution. Had it not been for Mr. Madden these bills would have been enacted into law, and in connection with his fight against these measures we find in the Congressional Record of June 8, 1914, a speech entitled, "Historical Parallel Drawn by Honorable Martin B. Madden, on the loyalty of the colored soldier versus the proposed segregation of colored people," which is a masterful presentation of the rights of the colored race. Then we call attention to Mr. Madden's fight against the unjust African exclusion amendment to the immigration bill of 1915, added as an amendment by a Democratic Senate, and to the denunciations heaped upon him by the Southern Democrats because of his desire to see justice done. In 1915 a bill was being considered in Congress to make intermarriage a crime. Mr. Madden was successful in his efforts to defeat this bill, and a (Concluded on page 2) ratic Candidate of Cook County and there is no doubt that the South Side will roll up a large vote for him for Clerk of the Superior Court of Cook County on Tuesday, November 4th. If elected, Mr. Robin pledges that he will conduct his office efficiently and with kind consideration towards every citizen, regardless of race, creed or color and that he will administer all duties of the office of Clerk of Superior Court in the spirit of co-operation, friendliness and helpfulness. In conclusion Mr. Robin always deports himself like a true gentleman and we feel confident that in every way he is well fitted to become the new Clerk of the Superior Court and we urge the many friends and readers of this newspaper to rally to his support on Tuesday, November 4th. son has appealed through the columns of the public press from time to time, to his white and colored friends to vote against Harry B. Miller for Judge of the Superior Court and Mayor Thompson honestly feels that Mr. Miller would never make a high class judge, that he is bossed over too much by Fred Lundin, and if elected to the Superior Court Bench of Cook County, he would be forced to do the bidding of Col. Lundin. It would be very pleasing no doubt, to Mayor Thompson if his hundreds of thousands of white and colored friends in this city and county could see their way clear to vote for Hon. Jacob M. Arvey for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE BROAD AX or Re-elec Illinois. No. 5 Re-election nois. 34085039 HON. MITCHELL C.

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 in- dictment 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 Attor- ney 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 exam- ined 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 be- fore the pubilic at other times, but it is well to repeat it to show what sort of friend we have in the present State's Atotrney and it may be well to add that at the time he did the best service for us he had no idea of run- ning for office as he was then a judge of the Cireuit Court with considerable time to serve, T 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 bit- terly and unalterably opposed to the Ku Kiux Klan, and for this reason the Kaln has an independent candi- date in the field against him, hoping Soto split the vote and to let in the Democratic candidate. When Judge Crowe opposes the Klan, which open- ly 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 platiorm 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 Grganization like the Klan who takes'the position that we are not citi- zens is an un-American institution, and not to be tolerated ‘in American polities, 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 en- courage 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 rec- ord on the race question is colorless and whose backers have always been hostile to the members of our group.

Costeno, one of the world’s great- est tenor singers, says of Madam Pearl Lowery Winters: “She has one of the greatest contralto voices I ever heard, and she was one of my pupils and a real artist of rare ability.” ‘The Los Angeles Times: “With organ-like depth, sweetness of volume of expression, charming personality, rendition of Shubert Serenade, “My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,’ rival that of our great contralto, Madam Shu- man-Hink, who is the world’s great: est contralto.” Holly Wood Boul: At the Inter- national Peace Conference Madam Winters was presented by Mrs. John Eurkhart (white), President of Cali- fornia Federation White Women’s Clubs, and in the beautiful mountain Holly Wood Boul Theatre, Madam Winters charmed over 60,000 people in her beautiful rendition of “Swanee River” with one hundred Federated women in chorus and sang the same program, / Mrs. John Eurkhart, before men- tioned, had the honor of being the first lady of her race to extend an invita- tion to Mrs. Winters, President of the California Federation of Colored ‘Women, to tell of their accomplish- ments at a symposium of Women, where she, on invitation of the maron Van Waters to speak at conference of social workers at San Diego, Calif,, at luncheon and to my mind Dr. Vould said the speaker of the hour was Mrs, ‘Wintees. (Continued from page one) short extract from his speech in the House on January 1, 1915, will, we are sure, convince the most skeptical that his. positigy was right and just: “Mr, Speaker, I am opposed to the intermarriage of the races. The Ne- groes themselves are opposed to such marriages, The Negroes are willing to confine their marriages to their own race, indeed they would prefer. that, but they have a right to demand that the women of their race shall not be considered the legitimate prey of the men of other races.” On April 24, 1916, during the con- sideration of H. R. 13048, a bill to amend the Juvenile Court act in and for the District of Columbia, Con- gressman Frank Clark of Florida, a Southern Democrat, offered the fol- lowing amendment: “That in the ad- ministration of this act the white and Negro children shall be kept entirely separate, and under no condition shall they be sent to or kept in the same institution, and that no probation of- ficer shall be appointed to deal. with or in anywise look after any child of a different race to that of which such Probation officer is a member.” It is needless to say that through: Mr. Mad- den's efforts this amendment was de- feated. Mr. Madden has been one of the strongest advocates of the anti-lynch- ing bill, and it was because of his insistence and leadership that the measure was passed through the House in the last Congress. In this connection we find in the Congres- sional Record of January 10, 1922, an extremely interesting speech by Mr. Madden on this subject. Howard University, a college for colored students in the District of Co- lumbia, is a private institution, but for many years it has been the practice of the Federal Government to maké an annual appropriation to help in the maintenance of the institution. It is interesting to note what Mr, Madden has done for the University. In the first year of his membership on the Appropriations Committee, the aid granted by the Federal Government was- but $51,600. Mr. Madden has been able to increase this amount from year to year and for the current year he secured an appropriation of $365,- 000. In addition to this large appro- priation Mr, Madden was able to se- cure authority and money for the erec- tion of an assembly hall, gymnasium, concrete stands, the total cost of “The Sap Francisco Call: Mme.

She has delight- fuly sang over the radio for the Times- Despatch, Richmond, Va., in August, 1922. Recently she sang at the National Baptist. Convention in this city and the A. M. E.

Hospital In his first year in Congress the ap- propriation for the hospital was $28,000. For the current year the appropriation is $174,700, and in addition to this a new medical building with equipment is just being completed at a cost of $78,700, Mr. Madden voted for the loan to Liberia and has always taken a keen interest in the affairs of this Republic. In the appropriation bill for the Dis- trict of Columbia for the current year Mr, Madden provided for the construc- tion of a bathing beach, tennis courts, a golf course, and other recreation cen- ters for the colored people of Wash- ington. The official records of the Veterans Bureau show that Mr. Madden has been interested in the adjustment of over 5,000 claims for compensation, in- surarice and allowances of colored sol- diers of the late war. In addition to this, through Mr. Madden's efforts, special facilities have been provided for the care of sick and wounded colored soldiers in the vari- ous Government hospitals throughout the country. The opportunity offered to the voters of the First District should not be passed over lightly. We should avail ourselves of the privilege of returning to Congress a man so distinguished in public affairs of the nation and so faithful to the best interests of the people of this district. The chairmanship of the Appropria- tions Committee, held by Mr. Madden, was never so important as now, The position has been occupied in the past by such men as James A. Garfield, Samuel Randall and Joseph G. Can- non, the latter two of whom were elevated to the Speakership. The pres- ‘ent Speaker of the House has just been nominated for the Senate in Massa- husetts.. The most logical man for Speaker and the one most urged to succeed Mr. Gillett is Representative “Madden. We cannot afford to let such an unusual honor pass from this Con- gressional District by failing to return him to the House. $3 Mr. Madden's public record is filled with true achievement, he is a loyal and ardent Republican, he is a real na- tional character, and am asset to the people not only of the First District and Chicago, but the nation. ¥ BACK IN CITY __R.

Willie Bell, an in- offensive colored workman, was on his way home about 11 P.

By Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Director [* == | ee ee ee ee ee tice, with the inspiring record of the Republican Party, I appeal to you to let no false reasoning, no “pretty sounding phrases"—no promises which cannot be fulfilled, deflect you from entering heartily into this cam- paign, and continuing until victory is achieved. We would make this a sweeping campaign for every colored woman's vote, The hosts of women coming from the South must be songht out and in- formed as to the power of the ballot and their privilege to use it. We must seek out those other groups of young men and women who will have at- tained their majority since the last presidential election. 1 suggest that clubs, classes, schools for first voters be opened in every dis- trict and precinct. if posible to in- struct, to encourage and inspire these young people to rally tq the standard ef Coolidge and Dawes and help win the victory in November. There are probably enough colored women of voting age to swing a close election. In some Southern States, Negroes are intimidated and prevented from voting. It is all the more meces- sary that women in sections where they enjoy their rights to vote, should exercise this right of franchise, ‘The timid, the negligent, the stay- at-homes are the ones who defeat a ticket, There were 2,730,400 colored wom- len of voting age in the United States in 1920. Of these, more than one million are in the Southern States where voting rights are often denied them. ‘These figures show the necessity of an intensive organized effort to arouse every colored woman voter in. the Northern States to her great respon- sibility: to her disitanchised Southern sisters to vote for the highest welfare fof the race. ‘What the Democrats Have Done For Us 1. They have disfranchised the colored people—taken away our right to vote—in every state where they had strength enough to do so. 2. They have passed segregation laws, and enforced them rigidly against us. 3. ‘They have practiced Peonage systems wherever the best citizens would tolerate it, 4. They have tolerated the lynch- ing and burning of our people, when they could have passed laws prevent. ing it. S They have sustained an inequit- able division of taxes for educational purposes., 6. They have passed Jim-Crow car laws and forced us to submit to them. 7. ‘They are now bringing suit to prove the 14th Amendment unconsti tutional which would —disiranchise every Negro in the United States, What La Follette Would Do For Us He would empty the dinner pails of twenty thousand railroad men earn. ing forty million dollars a year. Tha }is what the Howell-Barkley railroad bill means to Negro sleeping car and dining car employees. It is supported by La Follette and the Democrats. La Follette proposes to change the Constitution of these United States “Don’t forget that tinkering with the Constitution is dangerous business, and that in waking of many laws there is bound to be much foolish- ness.” a Colored people especially should be- ware of La Folletteism as applies to this Supreme Court. ‘The Supreme Court is our friend. It- defeated seg. regation by ordinanee= and disfran- chisement by the Grandfather Clause. “Don’t forget that if the freedom of the Supreme Court is curtailed, we shall lose the protection of an un- has stood as a Gibraltar of our per- sons and our property.” [What the ae rae Done 1.
