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.

Costeno, one of the world's great- The S Pearl L. galle of the all college American house, wistic from Rendition "The Ro 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 riots 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 publicil 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 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 let 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 SOMEWHAT IMPROVED Henry Edwards, of 53 W. 59th st. an officer of North Star Lodge No. 57 who has been quite ill and confined to his bed several weeks, is somewhat improved.

Martin B. Madden, Greatest Champion of the Rights of the Colored Race in this Country Hon. Martin B. Madden, Greatest Champion of the Rights of the Colored Race in this Country The Chicago Northern District Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will present Madam Pearl Lowery Winters in song recital at Greater Bethel A. M. E. Church, 42nd street and Grand boulevard, Thursday evening, October 23. Comments F. Costeno, one of the world's greatest 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 Subbert Serenade, 'My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,' rival that of our great contralto, Madam Shuman-Hink, who is the world's greatest contralto." Holly Wood Boul: At the International Peace Conference Madam Winters was presented by Mrs. John Eurkhart (white), President of California 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 mentioned, had the honor of being the first lady of her race to extend an invitation to Mrs. Winters, President of the California Federation of .Colored Women, to tell of their accomplishments 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. Winters. (Continued from page one) short extract from his speech in the House on January 11, 1915, will, we are sure, convince the most skeptical that his position was right and just: "Mr. Speaker, I am opposed to the intermarriage of the races. The Negroes 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 consideration of H. R. 13048, a bill to amend the Juvenile Court act in and for the District of Columbia, Congressman Frank Clark of Florida, a Southern Democrat, offered the following amendment: "That in the administration 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 officer shall be appointed to deal with or in anywise look after any child of a different race to that of which probation officer is a member." It is needless to say that through Mr. Madden's efforts this amendment was defeated. Mr. Madden has been one of the strongest advocates of the anti-lynching 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 Congressional 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 Columbia, is a private institution, but for many years it has been the practice of the Federal Government to make 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 $363,000. In addition to this large appropriation Mr. Madden was able to secure authority and money for the erection of an assembly hall, gymnasium, armory, athletic and drill field, and concrete stands, the total cost of which is $197,500. These improvements are now being completed. The same can be said of Mr. Mad- The San Francisco Call: Mme. Pearl Lowery Winters, the nightingale of the Pacific Coast, who sang in all colleges and schools, who gave the American Jubilee at Bakerfield Opera house, with hundred voices, was artistic from the beginning to the end. Renditions—"The Cry of Rachel," "The Rosary," the duet for contraltotenor, "Misere," no artist has excelled. Her own composition, "Oh, If Thy Gates" is a real piece of art. Convention Hall, Kansas City: Miss Pearl Lowery, 1912, at General A. M. E. Conference, charmed that convention by rendering "The Lord Is Mindful of His Own," "Ave Maria" (Gounod), and representing the 8th Town Ave. A. M. E., Los Angeles, Calif. It was, the Great Bishop Abram Grant proclaimed, as the Golden Voiced Contralto Singer of the West, Chairman Mrs. N. Graves, Building Committee; Miss Bowers, chairman Ways and Means Committee. Mrs. Winters is always endeavoring to do something for the advancement of her race. She has served as president of the California State Federation of Colored Women. She is Past President Council Superintendent; Cradle Roll, San Francisco District; Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the National Federation of Colored Women. She has delightfully 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. Conference in this city, and at Greater Bethel Church, Chicago, and all the lovers of music and high-class singing will be charmed with her sweet, rich voice on Thursday evening, October 23, at Greater Bethel Church. den's interest in Freedmen's Hospital. In his first year in Congress the appropriation 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 District of Columbia for the current year Mr. Madden provided for the construction of a bathing beach, tennis courts, a golf course, and other recreation centers for the colored people of Washington. The official records of the Veterans Bureau show that Mr. Madden has been interested in the adjustment of over 5,000 claims for compensation, insurance and allowances of colored soldiers 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 various 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 Appropriations 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. Cannon, the latter two of whom were elevated to the Speakership. The present Speaker of the House has just been nominated for the Senate in Massachusetts. 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 Congressional District by failing to return him to the House. Mr. Madden's public record is filled with true achievement, he is a loyal and ardent Republican, he is a real national character, and an asset to the people not only of the First District and Chicago, but the nation.

Crowe: "The community is fortunate in having you at the head of its law enforcing agency. The position as state's attorney is probably the most important and trying one in Cook County. The manner in which you have conducted the office, the vigorous prosecutions that we have had in your administration, have been largely responsible for the reduction in crime and for the increasing respect for law."

He followed them, walking by where they were standing, and is alleged to have beckoned them to follow him, which they declined to do. He went up the On October 8, one of the most cold-blooded and atrocious murders in the history of the City of Chicago was committed in the heart of this city on the west side. Willie Bell, an inoffensive colored workman, was on his way home about 11 P. M., accompanied by a friend, Albert Harper, and when in front of 1358 Miller street, was assaulted and seriously injured by Otto Epstein, as a result of which he later died in the County Hospital. The circumstances surrounding this brutal killing are revolting in the extreme, no mercy or opportunity for defense having been given Bell at the time of the assault, and as is usual when snap judgment is taken by irresponsible and law-defying gangsters, an innocent man paid with his life for the alleged wrongdoing of another. Coroner Wolff Acts Promptly The history of this killing is the old story of an alleged, wrong to two [Image of a man with glasses and a suit]. 1915 [Name] Extremely successful lawyer who has been in the some years.

The girls remained indoors for about five minutes and then came out, they said, to find an escort for Betty in a wine store at 1011 Fourteenth street and they then saw a man lying across the street on the sidewalk, who later proved to be Willie Bell with three or four young fellows around him. Bell had been fatally injured. The girls viewed the body of Willie Bell in the Cook County Morgue where it had been taken by the police and stated he was not the man who had accosted them; on the other hand, Albert Harper, who had been with Bell a'll evening, stated they had stopped for half an hour in a pool room at (Concluded on page 4) ```markdown ``` o has been in the public eye for s has always discharged all the seen imposed upon him. Demo- Justice of the Municipal Court THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 18, 1924 A CALL TO ACTION: TO THE COL- ORED WOMEN VOTERS OF AMERICA Issued by the Colored Women's Department of the Republican National Committee, Wrigley Building, Chicago. In the name of humanity and justice, 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 campaign, 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 sought out and informed 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 attained their majority since the last presidential election. I suggest that clubs, classes, schools for first voters be opened in every district and precinct if possible to instruct, to encourage and inspire these young people to rally to the standard of 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 necessary 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 women 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 responsibility to her disfranchised Southern sisters to vote for the highest welfare of 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 lynching and burning of our people, when they could have passed laws preventing it. 5. They have sustained an inequitable 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 unconstitutional which would disfranchise every Negro in the United States. What La Follette Would Do For Us He would empty the dinner pails of twenty thousand railroad men earning forty million dollars a year. That 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 making of many laws there is bound to be much foolishness." Colored people especially should beware of La Folletteism as applies to this Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is our friend. It defeated segregation by ordinance and disfranchisement by the Grandfather Clause. "Don't forget that if the freedom of the Supreme Court is curtailed, we shall lose the protection of an unbiased, unprejudiced judiciary which has stood as a Gibraltar of our persons and our property." What the Republicans Have Done For Us 1. They passed the 13th, 14th, 15th and 19th Amendments to the Constitution making all Negro men and women American citizens with the right to vote. 2. In republican states they have given us good schools. 3. The Harding-Coolidge Adminis- tration has distributed the following public offices to Negro citizens; 1, Minister to Liberia; 2, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia; one Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia; one Collector of Internal Revenue; one Comptroller of Customs; one Special Assistant and three Assistants to the Attorney General; one Collector of Internal Revenue; one Comptroller of Customs; one Special Assistant in the office of the Department of Justice at Cleveland, Ohio; five Assistant United States District Attorneys, located respectively at Boston, New York, Newark, N. J., Chicago and Cincinnati; one member of the Board of Mediation and Conciliation; an Assistant to the Director of the Veterans' Bureau; one Assistant to the Alaskan Railway Engineering Commission; one Assistant Chief Clerk-at-Large to the Postal Railway Mail Service (the first high position ever filed by a colored man in the Post-office Department); the Commanding Officer, the Chief Medical Officer, the medical staff and the entire subordinate, personnel of the United States Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala. Think on these things.

Chairman Western Division, Mrs. Myrtle F. Cook, National Headquarters, 364 Wrigley Building, Chicago, Illinois. Williamson, W. Va.,—Mrs. Nina L. Brown of Cleveland, National Organizer assigned to West Virginia, addressed a citizens mass meeting in Williamson. At the close, the women were organized into a Coolidge-Dawes Club which will immediately handle the situation in Williamson. McDowell County is calling for Mrs. Brown. West Virginia needs vigorous workers to organize and inform its voters in mining camps and rural districts. Ohio—Mrs. Eva N. Wright, National organizer working in Ohio, made an inspiring address in Xenia, Coolidge-Dawes Clubs in Ohio are pressing forward in spirited campaign, Kansas—Mrs. Charles Chiles, state chairman of Kansas, reports 24 clubs organized in nine cities, 5,000 letters sent out to voters. Mrs. Chiles is touring the state. Minnesota—The Colored people of Minnesota are located in its three largest cities, Duluth, Minneapolis and St. Paul. Mrs. Susan E. Evans, State Chairman of Colored women has organized Duluth under chairman Mrs. Mayme Merry. The check-up of colored voters found 50 per cent of men registered and 25 per cent of women. Mrs. Evans is now in St. Paul. Mrs. Rebeque D. Foree, working in Minneapolis, Minn., has 13 precinct clubs functioning under competent chairmen. The Day's Warning Each day's political developments throughout the Nation increase the conviction that the greatest peril which the voters of the country face at this time lies in the fact that we may not secure a complete registration of every citizen who is entitled to vote. Our interest should be to secure the greatest registration in history for the election of our splendid, upstanding national candidates. If the democrats win this fall it will be our own fault. We have the best of the argument: prosperity at home, and the Dawes Plan operating for prosperity in Europe. Fifty-three of every 100 voters have been staying at home. It's not the radicals that stay at home. It's not the Democrats. It's our Good Citizens, too good to dabble in politics, too self-satisfied to consider the public welfare. The women are getting out these delinquents to register and vote. During the week there were many distinguished visitors at the Colored Women's Department, National Headquarters, Chicago. The Western Newspaper men, M. Sattr Journal of Rangoon, India; Congressman Hicks. New York; A. E. Malone, St. Louis; David Mulvane, Kansas; H. O. Cook, Kansas City; Miss Helen Varick Boswell, New York; Melvin J. Chisum, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. John Gordon Battelle, Ohio; Commissioner George H. Woodson, Des Moines; Mrs. R. R. Rood, Oklahoma. Wisconsin.—A Coolidge-Dawes club was formed in Madison, Wisconsin by National Organizer, Mrs. Clara C. Montgomery. Mrs. Hattie G. Lewis is chairman. Milwaukee women organized with Mrs. Mabel Bailor, chairman. Racine has organized. All of these clubs are having group meetings semi-weekly to educate the voters on the use of the ballot. St. Louis.-St. Louis has four colored women in the city central committee who are co-operating splendidly with state chairman, Mrs. Pearl Ruby Perdeau who has planned an active state-wide campaign. Tennessee.-A strong appeal to Tennessee women for loyal and active support of the Republican Party has been issued by Mrs. Clemmie White, Nashville, State Chairman of Colored Women's Activities. This Bulletin recites the past record of the party for simpe justice and fair play. It enumerates twenty-five or more Federal appointments under this administration together with the personnel of the U. S. Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, and appeals to the colored women to Work as well as Vote. Virginia.—Mrs. Ora B. Stokes, State Chairman of Colored Women, issued a vigorous appeal to the women of Virginia, especially the new-comers from the South to throw off their indifference to their suffrage rights, and to take their places squarely in the ranks of the Republican Party. Words of the Wise Very forceful are these words of William E. Know, new president of the American Bankers Association: "Voting is more than a privilege—it is a duty, and the man (or woman) who does not do that duty is a mighty poor specimen of a citizen." Oklahoma—Miss Florrie D. Pugh, National Organizer in Oklahoma has organized Coolidge-Dawes in Oklahoma City, Bristow, El Reno, Kingfisher, Guthrie, Hartshorne and Dow with a total membership of 1,500 women. And the good work is going on. Mrs. Anna Roberts, National Organizer, is now working in Tulsa, and these two women will cover the entire state. Kansas City, Mo.-The County and Congressional Women's Organization of Kansas City, Mo., is putting on a spirited campaign. The district is thoroughly organized under 14 energetic chairmen. On the sixth, Honorable Leonidas C. Dyer addressed a monster Women's Meeting, Mrs. Dora Harris, chairman, Mrs. Josephine Abernathy, secretary, Congressman Dyer stirred our women to the depths or race interest and party loyalty and they are resolved to carry the Grand Old Party banner to victory in Democratic Jackson County. Mr. Dyer also addressed four enthusiastic mixed audiences. West Virginia.—Mrs. Irene Moats, Chairman of Colored Women in West Virginia, has perfected a fine organization of six districts under competent chairmen, assisted by two special organizers. Their job is a big one, to carry Democratic Candidate Davis' own state for his opponent, Calvin Coolidge. Every county and town is organized for group meetings of instruction and inspiration. John W. Davis says he is the Negro's friend. Actions speak louder than words. John W. Davis, Democratic presidential candidate, with his father, in 1908, wrote into the West Virginia democratic platform two planks against Negroes—one to disfranchise him as "an inferior race," and one to Jim Crow him on railroad trains. A Negro voting for Davis is a Negro voting for his constitutional enemy. 78 HON.

Harper thereupon ran for his life. A short time before this Harry Crawford, also colored, was accosted by this same gang of ruffians and asked, "What did you say to that broad?" when he was walking north on Miller street on the east side of the street. They struck him in the mouth and he ran, getting away from them. Otto Epstein and Irving Rockowitz, members of the gang engaged in the affair, were arrested by the police and held for examination by the Coroner, and much pressure was immediately brought to bear upon this alert and capable official, to act leniently with the accused, but feeling that the ends of justice would be best served by prompt action, Coroner Wolff at once impaneled a Coroner's Jury, placed the facts as outlined above before them, and Epstein and Rockowitz were bound over to the Grand Jury on a charge of murder. Gang rule and mob law, so prevalent in the south, must be stamped out in this community. Coroner Oscar Wolff's prompt and effective manner of meeting this serious situation is the one bright spot in this deplorable affair. Much credit is due him for his courageous stand in the interests of justice as against influences working to defeat the forces of law and order. We need officials who have the courage of their convictions. They should be encouraged and retained in office. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 18, 1924 4.

MILES J. DEVINE ATTORNEY AT LAW One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal.
