The American people for 135 years have enjoyed Happiness, Progress and Prosperity under the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution established our form of Government in 1789, and secured for all time our rights to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" proclaimed to the world by the Declaration of Independence. Under the protection of the Constitution we have become the greatest nation in all recorded history. The Constitution Guarantees to Every American— Freedom of Religion, of Speech, of Thought and of Education. The Equal Protection of the Laws. No Discrimination, Based on Race, Creed or Color. The Right of Home, Work and Prosperity. These Rights Guaranteed by the Constitution, are enforced by the Supreme Court of the United States. Men falsely styled "progressive" now propose to destroy the Supreme Court and the Constitution and to establish a government by Congress with absolute and autocratic power. The Constitution and the Supreme Court preserve our American Democracy and protect our individual rights. Destroy them and the door is open to Socialism or Dictatorship.

SMALL BACKED FOR RE-ELECTION ON RECORD Executive's Work for Hard Roads and His Stanch Americanism Entitle Him to Votes, Is Plea HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN Republican Candidate for United States Senator BY WILLIAM H. CRAWFORD This is the first Presidential campaign in the history of the United States in which all matters pertaining to the Negro electorate have been directed by one of their own race. At the request of the Negro voters throughout the country, Chairman William Butler of the Republican National Committee appointed William Clarence Matthews National Colored Republican Organizer. Born in Montgomery, Ala., he is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, Phillips Andover Academy and Harvard University. At the latter he won distinction as shortstop on the varsity baseball team. Completing his law course at Boston University Law School in 1907, he was later appointed by President Taft as Assistant United States District Attorney in Boston. In an interview yesterday regarding the situation among Negro voters of the country, Mr. Matthews said: "The co-operation of the various fac GOV. SM RE-ELEC Executive's His Stanc Him Resolutions setting forth reasons why Governor Len Small should be re-elected have been adopted by audiences at half a dozen meetings addressed by the Governor in the past week. At these citizens' meetings the fact is being emphasized that the Chicago Surface Lines franchises expire February 1, 1927; that over $20,000,000 of surface lines bonds payable at J. P. Morgan & Co. fall due January 1, 1927, and that the Illinois Commerce Commission has great power in the regulation of rates and service of the traction lines. It is also pointed out that the record of the opposition candidate as a legislator shows he was the consistent friend of special privilege and voted HON. CL Republican Ca Hon. Charles Samuel Deneen, who is in the public eye to greater extent than the vast majority of his fellow men in this country and whose splendid, untarnished public record will continue to reflect honor and glory upon him until time shall be no more, Republican candidate for United States Senator from Illinois, who will be elected on Tuesday, November 4, to the United States Senate, was born at Edwardsville, this state, May 4, 1863; is the highly honored son of Samuel H., and Mary F. (Ashley) Deneen. He received his A.B. at McKendree College in 1882, taught school about three years and May 10, 1891 he was happily united in marriage to Miss tions of colored voters, for which I have striven from the time of my appointment, has been remarkable. It is true that the colored vote was disturbed at the beginning of the campaign by the desertion of the Republican Party by such men and women as William Henry Lewis, Alice Dunbar Nelson and others, but time has revealed to him the folly of following such radicals. **Sees Negro Vote Republican** "I am satisfied today that the bulk of the colored vote will be cast for Coolidge and Dawes on election day. This is indicated by reports from all the states where the colored electorate has the balance of power, even in Indiana and Missouri. We expect by the help of the colored vote to even defeat Senator Walsh in Montana. "At a recent meeting in Mitwaukee, Hallie Q.

The resolutions are as follows: "Whereas, in the primary and election contests four years ago, Governor Len Small submitted a platform of principles wherein he made certain promises to the people of the state of Illinois; and, "Whereas, Governor Small has faithfully carried out these promises; and, "Because he secured the repeal of the old public utilities law under which the price of gas, telephone and local transportation had been increased during the term of his predecessor; and, "Because he appointed the Illinois Commerce Commission, which ordered CHARLES S. candidate for United Bina Day Maloney of Mt. Caroll, Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. Deneen are the proud parents of four children, namely, Charles Ashley, Dorothy, Frances and Viola Bina Day Deneen. Mr. Deneen was admitted to the bar in 1886 and he has met with great success since entering into the practice of law in this city from 1890 to 1904 and he was born a natural politician. He served as a member of the legislature of this state in 1892, as attorney for the Sanitary District of Chicago 1895 to 1896, elected State's Attorney of Cook County in 1896, re-elected State's Attorney in 1900, elected governor of Illinois in 1904, --- groes and 12 luke-warm supporters turned out. Lewis and other Democratic leaders are advising colored people to vote for anybody but President Coolidge. They are discovering, however, that the colored voter, for the most part, has a deep-dyed antipathy for the Democratic ticket. "Congressman L. C. Dyer of Missouri, author of the Anti-Lynching law, said recently at the Absisian Church in New York that the West Virginia campaign of William Henry Lewis and Ferdinand Morton, Civil Service Commissioner of New York, was a flat failure. The colored people in many sections of the state have even refused to give them audience. In West Virginia there are 58,300 colored voters. There is no doubt but that the Republican candidates will carry the state by a majority of 30,000. The West Virginia Negro population is outstanding in its economic and civic importance. More than in any other one state the colored people there play a significant part in political affairs.

It is stated in a recent new campaign pamphlet published in behalf of Hon. Charles S. Deneen that his family tree can be traced back in this state for 112 years in Illinois and it also renews the brilliant record of Mr. Deneen as Legislator, State's Attorney of Cook County and as Governor of Illinois.

They are a strong industrial factor; educated, well-to-do, and thoroughly abreast of the times. Their powerful vote will make itself felt on election day. Expects Ohio to Be for Coolidge "Ohio is another state where the colored electorate holds the balance of power and will carry the state for the Republican ticket with a majority of 40,000, the total Negro vote being 165,000. "The Oklahoma situation among colored voters is unique. Ex-Governor Walton, now a candidate for the United States Senate, though a Democrat, will carry the Negro state vote of 81,000 because of his strong fight against the Ku Klux Klan. The national vote, however, will be Republican. White House are Dr. Robert R. Mo'ton, President of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. Coloman Porter Hood, Minister and Consul General to the Republic of Liberia, now in America volunteering his services to the Republican cause; Emmitt Scott, Secretary and Treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D.

Howard, special assistant to the United States Attorney General; John W. Schencks, Special Assistant District Attorney Boston; Charles E. "Kansas is available territory with its 38,900 colored votes. The fight raging there gives the Republicans a good chance of carrying the state. Indiana has 61,000 colored votes; Maryland has 149,100, most of them centered in Baltimore; Oregon only about 1,500, but they will prove significant in the election. The Republican colored field workers of the Western States are confident of carrying Minnesota. "In summing up the situation numerically, of the 5,810,000 colored votes in the United States, at least 90 per cent will be cast for Coolidge and Dawes. New York State will cast its colored vote for Theodore Roosevelt. "Among the prominent colored men who are bending their energies toward keeping President Coolidge in the Mortell 1930 Moffett HON.

The Negro-should: be kept in his place and I am for keeping him there.” And this is the man who is running against Judge Crowe, who since in his office has appointed nine colored men assistants it the State’s Attorney’s office.

Wabash avenue. Mrs. Florence Cole Talbert, who is one of the noted soprano singers in this country, who also came to this city to reside several years ago from Los Angeles, Cal., presented Mrs. Winters to the audience, and in doing so she declared that she and Mrs. Winters were fast or warm friends during all of their girlhood days and that they are still steadfast friends, and that Mrs. Winters always conducts herself like a perfect lady; that she can rightly be called the contralto nightingale of the Pacific Coast. In the midst of her song recital, she was presented with two beautiful bouquets of rare flowers, which was greatly appreciated by her. Prof. Harrison Emanuel, the noted violinist, accompanied Mrs. Winters on the violin in some of her difficult numbers to the great delight of the audience. The program follows: Cry of Rachel, May Turner, Salter; Hindoo Song-Brama, Dieu des cro yants, Bemberg, My Heart Is Weary, Goring-Thomas; Smiling Through, Arthur A.

Madam Winters, possesses a wonderful sweet, soft and deep voice and as a contralto singer, she has few equals in this country. Her poise or self control on the stage or platform is absolutely perfect and nothing seems to flustrate or unnere her. She possesses a most charming manner and a beautiful personality, which greatly adds to her success as a songstress. It may be possible later on to present Madam Winters to the music loving people of Chicago, under more favorable conditions than she was on last Friday evening. She had been visiting in this city for two months and none of its visitors during the past summer had as many social honors showered upon them as were showered upon Mrs. Winters, for she was wined and dined continuously, by the best and the leading citizens of Chicago. Before departing for her home in California, she requested the writer through the columns of The Broad Ax, to heartily thank each and every person who aided in the slightest degree, to make her visit to this city so very pleasant, and that she will always cherish and remember them to the end of time. 460 482 HON. JOHN K. LAWLER Upright and Successful Business Man. Republ for the Election for Trustee of the Sanitary cage. He is Entitled to Receive the Votes of Women. Hon. John K. Lawler, Republican candidate for Sanitary district trustee, has made a fine record for efficiency as chief of the tax legislation department of the country. During the last three years he has always shown increased collections of delinquent personal property taxes amounting to $423,135.67 over his predecessors. He is a native of Chicago, born in 1873, was educated in the public schools and graduated from college. He has successful business experience, first employed in the wholesale division of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., and later was employed in the advertising field. He has made a deep study of taxation matters and is an expert in those lines. He would prove an efficient member of the Sanitary district board of trustees.

The records of the county treasurer show that during the last year of Hoyne's administration (1920), the amount of deliquent taxes collected by the tax department of the state's attorney's office was $390,073.93. Last year this department, under the management of M. Lawler, collected and paid to the county treasurer $785,554.89. State's Attorney Crowe has repeatedly commended Mr. Lawler for the efficient manner in which he has handled this important department. With all these good things which can be said in favor of Mr. Lawler, both the white and the colored people should see to it that on Tuesday, Nov. 4 that he will become one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago. George was fully capable in every way to honorably serve as one of the Municipal Judges; that if all the colored voters in this city would only wake up, they could, without any trouble, elect one of their own to the Municipal Count bench and at the same time assist to elect every candidate on the Republican ticket from top to bottom. So in all honesty and truthfulness we urge the thousands of readers of this newspaper to make it possible with their votes on Tuesday, November 4, to honor Mr. George and at the same time honor themselves, by electing him as one of the Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago. 1920 Rights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Paterian Church and the Y.

OSCAR WOLFF AS CORONER Efficient and faithful service in public office merits reward. One of the most outstanding cases of strict attention to the duties imposed upon him is exemplified by our present Coroner Hon. Oscar Wolff, and all citizens of Chicago and Cook County, irrespective of party affiliation, and especially those citizens of our race, should leave no stone unturned or no act omitted that will assist in returning to office one of the most valued public servants the electorate of Cook County have ever selected for office. The reforms instituted by Coroner Wolff in the methods of conducting his office have been called to your attention in a previous article. The careful selection of reputable and responsible citizens to serve as jurors in investigating deaths by violence and fixing the responsibility; the thorough investigation of deaths due to reckless and careless drivers of motor vehicles, the cost of which is at present being paid by Coroner Wolff out of his private funds because the Judges of the Circuit Court have refused him the help necessary to conduct such investigations in the manner he has 107 PEI 1920 107 PEJ HON.

Believes In Race Equality Coroner Wolff not only believes in race equality, but practices what he preaches. No previous Coroner has ever appointed one of our race as a deputy in his office, but Coroner Wolff, when he first took this office, realizing the increasing influence exerted by citizens of our race in the development of the City of Chicago, appointed Mr. E, M. Cleaves as Deputy Coroner, the first colored man to be honored in this respect, and he still holds this position to the credit of himself, and the colored people of Chicago and Cook County.

In conclusion we want to forcefully impress upon our constituents and readers that the salvation of the colored people of this city and county lies in co-operation, and when officials in high public office by their acts show a willingness to administer justice impartially and co-operate with us to the fullest extent, it is patent that the future welfare of the colored people demands that we show our appreciation for fairness and justice and that this work, so well begun, should be encouraged, and we know of no better way of showing the people of the City and County that we appreciate what is done for us than by returning to office Coroner Oscar Wolff by the largest majority ever given a public official, who has so convincingly demonstrated his worth to all the citizens of this community.

DENEEN, THE NEXT UNITED STATES SEN- ATROR FROM ILINOIS (Concluded from Page 1) public funds for first time; saving water power rights; auditing of public accounts; freedom from scandals in state contracts and letting of contracts in presence of bidders; agricultural experiments and extensions; legislation protecting workmen; creation of a highway commission, the building of 119% miles of experimental roads and a fight for a highway improvement program; revision of pure food laws and other general legislation; special acts for Chicago and other cities; great progress in operating charitable institutions, and start of waterway program. He is president and trustee of McKendree College, Lebanon, Illinois. He is a highly honored member of the American Illinois State and Chicago Bar Associations and member of the Law Club, etc. He is also an honored member of the Union League, Hamilton, Exmoor, Beverly and Englewood Clubs. Mr. Deneen and his lovable wife, Mrs. Deneen and some of the other members of their family reside in a beautiful home at 457 West 61st place and his hundreds of thousands of tried and true friends scattered throughout this state feel dead sure that he will be the next United States Senator from Illinois. RE-ELECT HON. HARRY OLSON CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF CHICAGO In 1906 the great electorate of this city chose Hon. Harry Olson Chief Justice of the Municipal Court of Chicago and he has honorably and faithfully served the people in that capacity from that time to the present. He is not only one of the best and greatest judges in the world but he also ably presides over the greatest court in the world. In 1912, 1918 and at the present time, attempts have been made to prevent his re-election but with the great aid of The Broad Ax, which always loyally supports him, he always comes out victorious on election day. It would be a great misfortune which would fall alike on all the people if he should happen to be defeated at any time. The honorable Chief Justice can rest assured that his thousands of colored friends scattered throughout this city will record their votes in his favor on Tuesday, November 4, and for the fourth time he will be re-elected Chief Justice of the Municipal Court of Chicago. As stated many times before, Justice Olson can always be counted upon when it comes down to his true friendship for worthy and highly respectable colored people for right now his personal bailiff is a colored man, in the person of William B. Sheridan, who discharges his responsible duties right up to the handle. The Chicago Bar Association, in passing upon the qualifications of the two candidates for Chief Justice of the Municipal Court, states that Chief Justice Olson is exceptionally well qualified in every way for Chief Justice of that court and for the fourth time he will come in under the wire ahead of all his opponents and be re-elected, to his highly honorable position. REPUBLICAN PLATFORM The Democratic platform says not a word for or about the colored man. The Republican platform says: "We urge the Congress to enact at the earliest possible date a Federal anti-bynching law, so that the full influence of the Federal government may be wielded to exterminate this hideous crime. "We believe that much of the misunderstanding which now exists can be eliminated by humane and sympathetic study of its causes. The President has wisely recommended the creation of a commission for the investigation of social and economic conditions and the promotion of mutual understanding and confidence." HON.

KEARNS, REPUBLICAN CAND DATE FOR CLERK OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF CHI- CAGO On Tuesday, November 4, the people residing in all parts of this city will have an opportunity of rewarding a faithful public servant by re-electing Hon. James A. Kearns, clerk of the Municipal Court of Chicago. The office is one of great and growing responsibility. There being far more litigation in the Municipal Court than in all other courts in Cook County combined, it requires a tremendous amount of work for the clerk to do. It has been truly called the people's court. It touches every phase of human life in our great city. It is, therefore, of the highest importance that the executive head of the clerical department of this great court should be a man essentially human himself, that Mr. Kearns has been blessed with to a remarkable degree; not only has honesty and efficiency characterized his administration, the heads of the departments and the entire clerical force of his office emulating the example set them by Mr. Kearns, have been obliging, courteous in manner and painstaking in the discharge of their trying duties. Mr. Kearns is rounding out his sixth year of faithful service. Such an ideal official has he been other men holding or aspiring to office could with profit to the public, make him their guide and pattern. He has been a faithful public servant. The bench, the bar and the thousands of people who have had business relations with the clerk of the Municipal Court are unstinted in their praise of him. In recognition of his splendid record, the people of Chicago made Hon. James A. Kearns debtor who will no doubt pay that debt by rewarding him with a triumphant election in November. The Past Public Record of Mr. Kearns Follows: 1909-1917—Alderman James A. Kearns of the old 31st Ward was strongly commended by the press and by all civic organizations interested in good government. In 1917 the Woman's City Club said: "He deserves re-election. He has voted in the public interest ever since he entered the Council." 1918-1924—As Clerk of the Municipal Court for the past five years he has continued his good record. Cases in the Municipal Court, which cost the taxpayers $1.23 each in 1920, showed a balance of $28,690.95, OVER AND ABOVE ALL EXPENSES; for the year 1923. Lastly, Mr. Kearns, who always deports himself like a true gentleman, has thousands of good friends among the colored people in this city and they, with the aid of his vast army of white friends will, on Tuesday, November 4, assist to re-elect him Clerk of the Municipal Court of Chicago.

No member of Congress has worked any harder in the interest of the people residing in their various Congressional Districts than Congressman Sproul. At all times he is ever ready to go out of his way in order to do some favor for some one, whether they belong in his Congressional District or not. Congressman Sproul always votes right on all vital questions effecting the colored people and the laboring classes in general. In that respect his record in Congress is as clean as a hound's tooth.

Over and above all other things, Congressman Sproul always manfully stands by Hon. Martin B. Madden in his great and everlasting fight for the civil and political rights of the colored race in the halls of Congress. Last week Congressman Sproul addressed a large gathering of colored people at the Hope Presbyterian Church, 61st st. and Loomis blvd., where he was heartily and warmly received and it was plainly indicated by his hearers that the vast majority of the colored voters residing in the Third Congressional District felt themselves highly honored to vote for his re-election to Congress on Tuesday, November 4, and without any question he is bound to be re-elected so that he can continue to uphold the aims of President Calvin Coolidge. 334 of the Municipal Court of Chic Colored Race, who on Tuesday acted to his present position. 74 Member of the City Council from the new K Chairman of the Police and Municipal Ins ber of the Committee on Schools, Fire and He is also a member of other important com body, including Local Transportation, La Streets and Alleys and the Peoples' candid of the Sanitary District of Chicago.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 1. 1924 DEMOCRATS FLAYED BY COL. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON COL. JOHNSON BLAMES DEMOCRATS FOR COHEN INDICTMENT Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, member of the Republican National Committee, commenting upon the suit recently filed in New Orleans against Walter L. Cohen, setting up his ineligibility to hold office by reason of his being a colored man and the illegality of the ratification of the 14th amendment extending citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, said: "The suit brought in the Federal Court of Louisiana against Walter L. Cohen, by the Democrats of that state need cause no alarm to the colored citizens of the United States. Each and every question raised by the plaintiff in his pleadings has been raised heretofore by divers Democrats, in divers like suits and in all of such suits the determination of the questions raised like those in this case has been decided against the contention set up in this last case by the Democrats in the South against the Negro. The law books of the country are teeming with cases in which the binding force of the 14th amendment as an integral part of the constitution has been affirmatively decided. The present case, and every question which it raises, presents questions that are entirely (res adjudicate). The reports containing the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States are pregnant with cases affirmatively decided against every contention set up by his plaintiff and deciding the validity of the 14th amendment as a part and parcel of the Constitution of the United States. "Again the colored citizens of this HON. JOSEPH S. LABUY, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF CHICAGO In 1912 Hon. Joseph S. LaBuy was elected as one of the judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago and from that time to the present he has honorably and faithfully served the citizens of this great city in that judicial capacity. At his first election in 1912, he was highly endorsed by the Colored Voters' League of Cook County and many colored people freely voted for him at that election and from that time to the present he has had a warm spot in his heart for them and like the rest of his fellow citizens, he always gives them a square deal whenever they have business to transact in his court rooms. Judge LaBuy has occupied the Municipal Court bench in all the branches of that court in all parts of Chicago and he has untold thousands of friends who always rally to his support who assist to re-nominate him at the primaries and to re-elect him to the Municipal Court bench. Last Christmas Judge LaBuy presided at the 48th Street Police Court, 48th Street and South Wabash Avenue, and to prove that his big heart is located on the right side he collected in a large Christmas fund and half of his Christmas fund was turned over to the Old Folk's Home, 4430 Vincennes Avenue, which made it possible for the Old Folks to have plenty of good things to eat during the holiday season and to receive some lovely presents. The other half of Judge LaBuy's Christmas fund was turned over to the Y. W. C. A., 3543 Indiana Avenue. The foregoing plainly indicates that Judge LaBuy, like his honored father, Judge M. A. LaBuy, who for many years held court at the corner of Halsted and Madison Streets, experiences much pleasure and great delight in endeavoring to lighten the burdens of those who are falling by the wayside in life, causing them to feel overjoyed at Christmas time. From 1912 down to the present time, Judge LaBuy has been a constant supporter of this newspaper and we call upon its many colored friends as well as white friends to rally to his support on Tuesday, November 4, and do their bit in assisting to re-elect him one of the Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago. country need not be worried over this abortive attack upon their constitutional liberties. For, the 14th amendment is the ONE part of the Constitution, which, together with the Dartmouth College case, forms the bedrock, the life and the very existence of every private corporation doing business in the United States. Were the 14th amendment to be declared invalid, it would knock the very foundation from under every dollar or corporate investment in the United States. It would be an end of business. If this amendment was decreed invalid, within five hours after the decree such a storm of bankruptcy and terrorism would overwhelm the business of the country that sovietism in Russia under Lenin and Trotzky would, in comparison, be a visitation of mercy and an angel of law and order. It is but the same old fight of the Democrats in the South. And the Democrats of the South are two-thirds of the Democrats of the nation. Thus this new appearance of real Democracy presents this obect lesson in the present campaign to the American Negro electorate, to wit: "The Republicans wrote this amendment.—Democrats opposed its writing; Republicans believe in all the amendments;—Democrats only believed in some of the amendments; Republicans believe in Negro citizenship,—Democrats do not believe in Negro citizenship, 'For by their works we shall know them.' "Calvin Coolidge is a Republican,—John W. Davis is a Democrat. Calvin Coolidge believes in the right of the Negro to hold office because he is a citizen and Calvin Coolidge appointed Walter L. Cohen to this office because he believed he was a citizen; in New York President Coolidge upheld the right, within party lines, for Dr. Roberts, as a Negro, to have the SOCIAL ITEMS OR NOTES For the first time in the history of Illinois the Colored Republican women held a state-wide convention in Chicago at the South Park M.

Davis, the Democrat, is offended at a Negro holding office. for when Mr. Davis went into office as solicitor-general of the department of justice under the late President Wilson, within four hours from the hour when President Wilson took office after his first election, William H. Lewis, Boston, a Negro appointed assistant attorney-general by a Republican, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, president, was unceremoniously kicked out of his office only because he was a Negro and that Mr. McReynolds of Tennessee, as attorney-general and Mr. John W. Davis, as solicitor, who bossed that department would not tolerate Mr. Lewis in this high office for one minute under them. Mr. Wilson was inaugurated at 12 o'clock on the 4th day of March, 1913, at half past three, the same day Mr. John W. Davis, the candidate of the Democratic party for president, was solicitor-general. At four o'clock of the same day William H. Lewis, assistant attorney-general, was kicked out by Mr. Davis and the attorney-general and they did not extend to Mr. Lewis the courtesy of a resignation as I recall. Just fired him because a Democrat can't stand for a Negro to hold office. During the whole term of President Wilson's eight years encumbency only one Negro was appointed to office and that was Jim Curtis of New York as Minister to Africa who died in six months and after his death one Negro whose name nobody can recall, Mr. Hood, was appointed to take his place in Africa. Mr. John W. Davis held high and distinguished office under the eight years of Democratic rule when all this elimination of Negroes was going on—even the elimination of the Hon. William H. Lewis.

HON. MITCHELL C. ROBIN Everything seems to indicate that Hon. Mitchell C. Robin, Democratic candidate for clerk of the Superior Court, seems to be making mighty rapid strides forward towards victory with the campaign coming to a close it is safe to predict that with the overwhelmingly multitude of supporters that Mitchell C. Robin has gained during the past two months, that he will be the next Clerk of the Superior Court. He has shown his qualifications in office and has been endorsed by over 1,500 lawyers of Cook County, Cook County Baseball Athletic Association, Mid City Athletic Union, the Southwest Men's Service League, International Union of Steam Fitters and Engineers, International Union of Moving Picture Operators, Janitors Union, International Union of Wet and Dry Laundry Owners, as well as by many organizations, fraternities and societies of various kinds. The readers of this column are urged to support him in his candidacy. TAPEL 333 HON. JOSEPH F. HAAS The best and honest Recorder of the big leaders of the R county who is bound to be Tuesday, November 4th. The best and honest Recorder of Deeds of Cook County; one of the big leaders of the Republican party in this city and county who is bound to be re-elected County Recorder on Tuesday, November 4th. HON. JOSEPH F. HAAS, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION FOR RECORDER OF DEEDS OF COOK COUNTY could sue a municipality for personal injuries, a law which has saved Chicago and other cities hundreds of thousands of dollars. On Tuesday, November 4, the people residing in all parts of this city and county will, for the third time, reelect Hon. Joseph F. Haas Recorder of Deeds of Cook County, whose fair and honorable name has become a household word throughout this city, county and throughout the State of Illinois. He was born in Chicago, November 13, 1857, and was educated in the public schools of this city. He was employed by Jameson & Morse Printing Co. in 1873-1874; he entered the employ of J. S. Barnes and Co. hatters and furriers, and errand boy and became a partner in 1890. He continued in business until elected clerk of the Sanitary District of Chicago in 1898. He resigned on June 11, 1900, on account of the illness of his partner. Mr. Haas was elected State Senator from the 25th senatorial district in 1902-1906. As State Senator he introduced and was instrumental in passing many important measures. He was chairman of the Chicago Charter Committee of the 44th general assembly. Among the important bills which he introduced and which are now laws were the bills creating the Municipal Courts of Chicago, which abolished the old police justice system; the bill creating forest preserves, which is making possible the conservation of the woodlands in the country for public park systems, and several other bills giving to the park boards the power to maintain and govern the parks and boulevards under their control; a bill fixing the date limit on time which persons 71 1920 71 COL.

Mr. Haas also voted for amendments to the Torrens system, which has broadened its scope. He was elected County Clerk in 1906 and conducted the business of that office in an efficient manner. The Recorder is the official custodian of all the records affecting the title of every piece of property in this county. He conducts a big business, requiring the attention of a man of great ability and business experience. Mr. Haas is a member of many fraternal societies and other organizations. Chief among them are Maplewood Council No. 1024, Royal Arcanum; Enterprise Council No. 50, Royal League; Kilwinning Lodge No. 411, A. F. & A. M. For more than thirty years the people residing in this city have known Mr. Haas as a high-class business man To the undying or to the everlasting credit of Mr. Haas, it must be said that he employs more colored clerks and stenographers in the County Recorder's office than all of his predecessors combined. For several years past well onto 64 colored clerks and stenographers have been steadily employed in his office and they are scattered throughout all of its departments and occupy seats or desks where any one will not experience any trouble in beholding them. All things being fair in war and love, Mr. Haas is justly entitled to receive the bulk of the colored vote in this city on Tuesday, November 4, and he will be re-elected to his present honored position where he will be able to honestly serve the people for another period of four years.

Arvey will be Elected Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County fective his efforts have been in the halls of Congress for more than twen- ty 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 be- lieved in and advocated a single cit- izenship as provided by the Constitu- tion 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 “Brownsville Soldiers” should be suf- ficient to entitle him to the gratitude of the colored element of our citizen- ship if he had done nothing else dur- ing his-career, but his record through- out 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 With the nomination of Alderman J. M. Arvey of the 24th Ward for Judge of the Superior Court, the Democratic party has placed for elec- tion = man who has given consider- able service to the community while a member of the City Council, Alderman Arvey is 2 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 preesnt time, he is chairman of Mayor Dever’s Radio Commission and a member of the Transportation Committee. During his duties in pub- the 63rd Congress ‘many bills, inimical to the colored people were introduced by Southern Democrats 2a pressed for passage, and but 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 tplsegregate Govern- ment employees ofthe 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, intro- duced by the now Senator Pat Har- rison of Mississippi, “To require street railways carrying passengers in their ‘cars within the District of Columbia to provide equal but separate accom- modations for the white and colored races, and to prescribe punishment ‘and penalties for violating its. pro- visions.” ‘ ‘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 viola- tion of the provisions of the Consti- tution. Had it not been. for Mr. Madden these bills would have been enacted into law, and’ im connection with his fight against these measures we find in the Congressional Record of June 8, 1914, a speech entitled, “Historical Paralle} Drawn by Honorable Martin 'B, Madden, of the loyalty of the col- cored soldier versus the proposed seg- regation of colored people,” which is a masterful presentation of the rights of the: colored: race. . | Then we call attention to Mr, Mad- den's fight against the unjust African exclusion amendment to the immigra- tion bill of 1915, added as an amend- ment by 2 Democratic Senate, and’ to the denunciations heaped upon him by the Southera 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 short extract from his speech in the House on January 11, 1915, will, we fare sure, convince hie most skeptical ‘that his position ‘was right and just: “Mr, Speaker, 1 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 ‘6f other races.” On April 24, 9916, 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, « 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 lic service, Alderman Arvey has served the public efficiently and hon- estly and with 2 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 Kiux Kian and has intro- ‘duced resélutions in ‘the Council con- demning the movement as un-Amer- ‘ican. It is expected that all who have ap- preciation of Liberty, love and justice I vote for him. t Former Mayor William H.

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, armory, athletic and drilt field, and concrete stands, the total cost of which is $197,500. These “improve- munts are now being completed. ‘The same can be said of Mr. Mad- den’s interest in Freedmen’s 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 Ioan 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, 1a golf course, and other recreation cen- ters for the colored people of Wash- ington. ‘The-official revords of the Veterans Buream show. that “Mr. Madden has been interested im the adjustment of ‘over $,000 claims for compensation, in- surance and allowances of colored sol- diets 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, ‘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- chusetts. 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. 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 an asset to the people not only of the First District and Chicago, but the nation.

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. ‘M.

PRESENT DAY COLORED REPUBLICAN LEADERS M. B. HON. CHARLES RINGER HON. CHARLES KRUTCKOFF PRESENT DAY POLITICAL LEADERS Pictured above are the active political leaders of Negro America. When President Coolidge began his campaign for reelection to the high office he now holds it was announced that the work would be conducted upon a business-like basis. It proved to be so in the selection of his white aids and it is equally so with the colored. The men and women who are now at the helm are there because of their peculiar ability to do what is expected of them, to give service that is fuller of science than of sentiment. These leaders represent the new order of things. HON. C Hon. Charles Ringer, Republican candidates for re-election for member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, whose past and present public career shines forth all the time like the bright noon-day sun, and can be easily read like unto an open book, for more than forty years has made his home in this city and keenly watched its growth until it has now become one of the greatest cities in the world. Twenty-five years of that time, Mr. Ringer has been successfully engaged in the real estate and insurance business and by dealing honestly and fairly with his army of friends and clients he has succeeded in building up one of the best known institutions of its kind in Chicago. Although his time is always well taken by this business, he has always been a leader in activities in the public behalf. He led a successful effort on the part of business men to establish a HON. CHA Hon. Charles Krutckoff, Republican candidate for Member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, was born in Old Chicago, November 1, 1871. He is a graduate of the Chicago Grammar and High Schools and later on took a two-year business course. Mr. Krutckoff was one of the first employees of the County Assessor's office. In 1905 he was promoted to Chief Clerk, which position he held until 1918, when he was elected as a member of the Board of Assessors. While ably serving as its chief clerk for so many years he was always courteous to the vast army of people. Pictured in the circle in the center is Mr. William Clarence Matthews, Boston, Mass., the organizer of the Negro division of the Republican National Committee. He was born in Alabama and educated at Tuskegee and Harvard. At Tuskegee he organized the first baseball and football teams to represent that institution. At Harvard he studied law and was a star football player. He has served as an assistant district attorney in the state of Massachusetts. His acquaintance with President Coolidge has been over a long period of years and his devotion to the President is the result of both warm personal admiration and a steadfast belief in that honesty, cour- municipal bathing beach at Windsor Park on a half mile lake front; was active in the development of 79th street as a through thoroughfare; and has always been recognized as a powerful proponent of track elevation and elimination of grade crossings. Many other public improvements, both local and city wide, have been the result of his uniring efforts. Mr. Ringer is one of the most prominent Masons in this country. His fraternal and business associations are many, including the Masonic, Chicago Lodge No. 4, B. P. O. E., Odd Llows, Loyal Order of Moose, Knights of Pythias, Phi Kappa Tau, Press Club and Hamilton Club of Chicago, the Windsor Park and Cheltenham Business Men's Association, of which he is president, Chamber of Commerce, Chicago Real Estate Board, and other business and improvement associations. He is closing his eighth year as a ARLES KRU whom he came in contact with each day and by being very polite at all times and by always wearing a pleasant smile on his honest face, he made thousands of warm friends among all classes of his fellow citizens who will stand by him to the end of time. Mr. Krutckoff's long service with the Board of Assessors eminently fits him for re-election Tuesday, November 4. Aside from being a member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, Mr. Krutckoff measures arms with the successful business men in this city for some time past he has been president of the Norris, Ward THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 1, 1924 age and straight-thinking which has made Mr. Coolidge generally popular. He has complete charge of Negro affairs in connection with the Republican party's present campaign. At the right of Mr. Matthews is Miss Halile Q. Brown, former president of the National Association of Colored Women. Miss Brown's position among the colored women voters is similar to that of Mr. Matthews, she having complete charge of political activities touching the colored Republican women of the nation. Mrs. M. C. Lawton, president of the Empire State Federation of Colored Women, is the organizer among eastern women, with headquarters in New RINGER member of the Board of Assessors of which he is now chairman. His administration of that office has given him a reputation as an extremely fair, reasonable public official, always ready and willing to give his personal service and attention to any call. As a candidate for re-election he offers qualifications that can only be gained by experience, a pleasing personality and sound business judgment. Mr. Ringer, who was born in Nova Scotia in 1874, and who came to this city while he was a very small boy, is happily married and resides with his family in a beautiful home at 7251 Crandon avenue. There is one more thing that can be truthfully said in behalf of Mr. Ringer and that is that he has proven himself to be one of the true friends of the colored people and they will on Tuesday, November 4, vote in favor of his re-election for member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County. Coal Co., which concern transacts a large volume of business each year. He is a prominent member of the Hamilton Club, South Shore Country Club, Illinois Athletic Club, Chicago Automobile Club. Mr. Krutckoff and his adorable wife, Mrs. Krutckoff and their two lovely children, reside in a very pleasant home at 4817 Grand blvd. Like his warm friend, Hon. Charles Ringer, Mr. Krutckoff has a warm spot in his heart for the colored people and they will loyally stand by him on Tuesday, November 4. pursuit does not stop. At the right of Miss Brown is Mr. W. T. Francis, St. Paul, Minn., chairman of the western district. He is a lawyer of enviable standing. In 1920 he was a presidential elector from Minnesota. In the corner at the left is Mr. G. W. Lee, vice chairman of the western district. Mr. Lee comes from Memphis, Tenn., is an active man in business, having been vice president of the Mississippi Life Insurance Co. He is a member of the executive committee of the American Legion in the state and is organizer of the Lincoln Legion, soldiers who are fighting for M. B. HON. GEORGE PACKARD Hon. George Packard, democratic candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, has long since proven himself to be one of the best and truest friends of the colored race in this city. This fact is well known among his white friends and colored friends as well as a real friend of Negro freedom. He is one of the most eminent lawyers in this city and in every way he has the great legal ability and training for a high class Judge of any court in this city and state. Through his prominent position in the Chicago Bar Association he has from time to time been able to defend the Negroes as a group from various pieces of propaganda work started with the intent of retarding the prog- Coolidge to win in the forthcoming election. Immediately under Mr. Lee is Mr. Monroe Mason, secretary to Mr. Matthews, and a prominent Republican leader in the state of Massachusetts. Mr. Mason is the editor of the Blue Helmet, a soldiers' magazine. Next is Miss Jeanette Carter, Washington, D. C., in charge of publicity among colored women in the eastern district. In the center under Mr. Matthews' picture are those of Roscoe Conklin Simmons, in charge of the speakers' bureau among Negroes, on the left, and at the right, Mr. Robt. R. Church, Memphis, one of the members of the board of strategy, Republican ress of Negroes in Chicago. In a paper read by Mr. Packard before the law club several years ago he came out very definitely in defense of those things that would place the Negro on a par with any other group of citizens. Mr. Packard was associated with and helped the Frederick Douglass Center, 3032 Wabash Avenue of which Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley was the head resident. He served on the Board of Directors of the Chicago Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for the past ten years. Together with the late Judge Edward Osgood Brown, Judge Robert McMurdy, Mr. Packard did much in preparing the briefs, without National Committee. Next is Mrs. Mamie E. Graves, assistant director among women, eastern division and in the corner, Atty. Robert M. Stevens, Pittsfield, Mass., president of the Massachusetts Civic League of which William H. Lewis was president for 20 years. Mr. Stevens is the leader among Negro Republicans of the bay state and one of the most active in all party circles. On the bottom row there are, stand in at the left, Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, and Robt. L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier. Mr. Vann and Mr. Scott are members of the strategy board of some thirty nationally promi charge, for several riot cases immediately after the riot of 1919. He is very strong in his belief for an equal chance for all men and if elected Judge of the Municipal Court the Race will have a very strong friend on the bench and one who can do much to uphold the principles of race equality in the administration of exact justice. It should be the solemn duty of every colored man and woman in this city on Tuesday, November 4, to record their vote in favor of the elevation of Mr. Packard to the Municipal Court bench of Chicago. T. D. D. HON. FRANK J. LINK, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR TRUSTEE OF THE SANITARY DISTRICT OF CHICAGO. Hon. Frank J. Link, has been in the public's eye for so long in the most honorable way that he needs no long introduction to the many readers of this newspaper. For many years he was a member of the City Council, from the old Twenty-Fifth Ward, now the new Forty-Eighth Ward and he has in the past served on all of the most important Committees of that body. At the present time he is chairman of the Committee on Public Health and is a member of the Committee on Local Industries, Streets and Alleys; Local Transportation, and so on. Alderman Link was one of the mem- nent Republicans who work with Chairman Butler. Mr. Vann's paper was the first in America to come out openly for President Coolidge. Next is Mrs. Myrtle Foster Cook, editor of National Notes, a magazine, and chairman of the western division among colored women and, finally, Charles E. Mitchell, chairman of the eastern district among colored male voters. Mr. Mitchell is from Charleston, W. Va., is president of the only Negro banking institution in the state and was the first colored man in America to be licensed as an expert accountant. He has been active in the Republican politics of his state for many years. bers of the City Council who bravely stood up in 1921 and voted in favor of rewarding the colored people, whose relatives lost their lives, during the Race Riots in this city in 1919. That act on the part of Alderman Link, stamped him as being absolutely free from race prejudice and that he is friendly to the colored people and to partly reward him for his loyalty and true manhood at that time all the colored people residing in this city and throughout Cook County, should on Tuesday, November 4, vote in favor of his election for one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago. Two of the leading newspapers of Chicago and the Municipal Voters League, sound the praises of Alderman Link, as follows: "Fought against experting and extravagances," Chicago Tribune. "His record has been of high quality." "At times he stood almost alone in battling for the tax payers and for decency in the handling of Municipal affairs," Daily News. "Man of high character and excellent record," Municipal Voters' League. Alderman Link always conducts himself like a high class gentleman and with his past splendid record he richly deserves to be selected one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago.

It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glossy sheen.
