Moran Will Be Without the Slightest Doubt Re-Elected to the City Council on Tuesday, Feb.24 from New 16th Ward. His Past Faithful Record Should Insure His Success Hon. Ross A. Woodhull, Chairman of Finance Committee of the City Council Will Be Re-Elected Tuesday, Feb.24 Hon. Thomas Byrne Will Return to City Council Hon. Terence F. Moran, who has been one of the best and hardest working members of the City Council from the old 31st Ward, now the new 16th Ward, was first elected to it six years ago and from that time to the present has never failed to at all times vote in the interests of all the people residing in this great city. As one of the useful members of the City Council, his past record places his name among the best class and the most progressive alderman that this city has ever had. The following are some of the most important things which he has greatly assisted to accomplish, which have been of great benefit to all the people residing in Chicago: Street Repairs: There was expended for street repairs in the old 31st Ward during the years 1918, 1919, 1920, 1921 and 1922, an average of $32,590.00 per year while I represented this ward, as compared to an average of $9,245.00 per year for the years 1916 and 1917. Street and Alley Cleaning There was expended for street and alley cleaning in the old 31st Ward the sum of $75,917.01 in 1917, which was the year before I was elected to the City Council; and in 1922, the sum of $106,918.20. Street Lighting—State to Ashland: During the period that I have represented the old 31st Ward and the new 16th Ward, there has been expended in those wards approximately $285,000.00 for the installation of more than 3,000 street lights. Ordinance Regulating Heating of Apartments and Factories: During the past year I worked for the passage of a health measure providing for the regulation of temperature in apartments, factories and workshops which was so adjusted as to be satisfactory to tenants and workers and practical in its application and operation. Hon. Ross A. Finance Com Will Be Re-l In 1917 Hon. Ross A. Woodhull was first elected to the city council from the old 8th Ward and he has been a member of that body from that day to this, and for the past two years he has ably and honorably served as the chairman of the Finance Committee of that body. He is considered one of the best financiers in the city. It is up to him to devise ways and means to raise a hundred million dollars which is expended each year in conducting the large affairs in connection with running the city of Chicago, for after all this city is like a great financial house or institution and it can not be successfully run without having the money in its treasury to pay its bills promptly when they fall due. That is Hon. Thomas F. Byrne, who is known far and near as the little Irish-American fighting statesman from the Stock Yards district, has been a member of the city council for some years and, in a rough and tumble oratorical spat, he can easily hold his own with the best orators. He is chuck full of wit and is at all times ready to measure arms with his largest and most powerful opponent. He is right up to the minute in all of the affairs pertaining to the great city of Chicago. It will be recalled that in 1921 he induced the city council to permit the friends and others connected with the Fort Dearborn Hospital to hold a spe- Western Avenue Pumping Station: Construction work was started in 1920 on tunnels for a new pumping station to be located on Western avenue. The entire cost of this improvement will be approximately $8,000,000. I have consistently fought to hasten the completion of this project and to have the station located as near our ward as possible, in order that our district may obtain the maximum benefits in the supply of water, of which we have been short for many years. Accomplishments of City Council: 1. In the appropriation bills for the past two years, the City Council has adhered to the policy of keeping appropriations within the revenue and, in this connection, has taken as the basis the certification of revenue from the City Comptroller. The following tabulation pertains to the appropriation bills for the years 1921 and 1922: Departmental Estimates, 1921—$45,423,922.29; 1922—$4,889,940.58. Committee Recommendation, 1921—$40,661,782.10; 1922—$39,458,581.57. Passed by City Council, 1921—$40,799,780.76; 1922—$39,582,437.14. Total Appropriation, 1921—$40,799, 780.76; 1922—$43,340,340.28. 2. The City Council reduced the interest rate on recent bond issues one-half of one per cent, which action will save the city approximately $27, 000.00 for the first year and during the life of the bond issues, approximately $270,000. 3. The City Council, through a system of rigid inspection, increased the collections from vehicle licenses $900, 000.00, making this much additional available for the repair and maintenance of the improved streets of Chicago. 4. Over 200 individual requests for regrading of positions, affecting approximately 400 employees, were presented to the Finance Committee in 1922. If allowed, these requests in- the important part performed by Chairman Woodhull to raise the money for that purpose. He has been designated on many occasions as the "Watch Dog of the Treasury," for he is never in favor of contracting a large amount of indebtedness and fostering an extra burden on the backs of the tax payers unless he can see his way clear to raise the money to help to grease the machinery and take care of the added expenses. Mr. Woodhull is considered one of the best and most successful business men belonging to the city council. He is successfully engaged in the real estate business in the South Shore district and he is looked upon as the "star orator" of the city council. There are not more than fifty or yrne Will Return cial tag day and two thousand dollars and over was collected from it. Aside from the fact that he contributed some of his own money to aid it, he and his partner in the real estate business, Hon. Emmett Whealan, Connty Commissioner, were both deeply interested in its success and they both felt proud of the fact that they were able to assist the colored people to that extent. It will be further recalled that after the race riot in this city in 1919 Alderman Byrne led the fight in the city council in favor of awarding damages to the relatives of the colored people who were murdered in the race riot at that time, showing that he never volved an expenditure of over $75,000.00 per annum. They were disposed of to the extent of saving $48,000.00. 5. The City Council, after hearing by the Finance Committee on demands applicable to over 6,000 employees, involving an additional salary expense of over $1,900,000.00, disposed of such demands at a cost of approximately $77,000.00—a saving to the taxpayers of $1,873,000.00. 6. The City Council, in 1922, ordered the audit of the books of the Board of Education (over which the City Council has no legal control) to check on the expenditure of $52,600,000.00 appropriated last year, and to consider the advisability of a reduction in the tax rate. The City Council, in conjunction with the Superintendent of Police, has put into effect a plan of rewarding policemen for meritorious service, thereby furnishing an incentive for greater diligence and activity on the part of the police force. As stated before, Alderman Moran has assisted to accomplish a wonderful work in behalf of all the people of this city since he has been one of the very valuable members of the City Council. It can further be stated in all fairness to Alderman Moran that as one of the members of the Finance Committee of that body, that he voted and worked hard to assist to settle up the Race Riot cases without such a long delay, that he voted in favor of the four resolutions which passed the City Council along that same line in October, 1921, he voted in favor of the special Tag Day for the Fort Dearborn Hospital. At all times Alderman Moran is ready and willing to do anything that he can to favor the colored people residing in his ward, and without the least doubt, his many colored friends residing in his ward will assist to relect him to the City Council at the election, Tuesday, February 24, 1925. Chairman of CityCouncil day, Feb. 24 seventy-five colored people residing in his ward, but when any of them get in trouble or are looking for favors in other directions and seek out Alderman Woodhull they always receive the proper amount of consideration from him and if it is possible for him to aid them in any way in their troubles, he will go a long way to do so. Alderman Woodhull never makes any rash promises as to what he will do but his word is his bond in all business transactions. He is one of the most popular city fathers in Chicago and at this time he is freely mentioned for the nomination for mayor of Chicago in 1927. It is unnecessary to state that he will be re-elected to the city council from the new 7th Ward on Tuesday, February 24. to City Council permits the color of any person's skin to swerve him from doing right. He is a member of many committees of the city council, being chairman of the Police and Municipal Institutions and of other big committees. He is also head of the Committee of Local Industries, streets and alleys and also local transportation committee. All in all, Alderman Byrne is one of the honest and honorable city fathers who always labors hard for the best interests of all of the people of this wonderful city, the queen city of the Middle West, and on Tuesday, February 24, he will again be re-elected to the city council from the new 15th Ward.

AND MRS. THOMAS H. ALLEN By Leora Bruce Warwick Hall, located at Forty- Seventh St. and Forrestville Ave., has never been arrayed in such splendor as it was last Tuesday evening. The event was the celebration of the twenty-fifth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Allen, of 4929 South Wabash avenue. The love and admiration of this handsome couple was truly demonstrated by Chicago's elite attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Allen were the recipients of many costly, useful, as well as ornamental gifts of silver, including about three hundred dollars in currency. Among the many treasured gifts were two cakes; one of twenty-five tiers; the other, baked by an old friend and sent from Little Rock, Arkansas. Besides numerous telegrams from all over the country sending their congratulations to this happy couple, were received. In the receiving line were: Mr. and Mrs. Joseph D. Morris, Mr. and Mrs. F. Weisiger, Mr. and Mrs. J. Edgar Mitchem, Mrs. Alpha Maxwell and Mr. James'Allen. Mrs. Alpha Maxwell announced the guests and in turn were introduced by Mr. Mitchem and Mr. Harry Thornton. Mr. Charles Settles was master of ceremonies. Mr. T. P. Bryant rendered "At Dawning," by Cadman, and "Calm as the Night," by Bohm. After which Reverend Father Brown, assistant pastor of St. Thomas church, made a few timely remarks. At the close of the reception, the grand march, led by Mr. Chas. Settles and Mrs. Francis Sheppard ebbed into dancing to the sweet strains of Watson's Orchestra, until the wee hours. The adorable Mrs. T. H.

He was the close friend of Abraham Lincoln and after the death of the martyred President, Mrs. Lincoln presented his gold headed cane to Mr. Douglass.

Thousands of the Negro people of the United States and other countries contributed millions of dollars to Marcus Garvey and his cohorts believing that they were to establish a government in Africa for the higher development of the native born and those from other countries whose educational advantages had been developed to a higher sphere that their services would get out of the soil its richness that would ultimately establish a colony of untold wealth, and create a trading point with the markets of the earth that use said products in the manufacture of merchandise of various commodities. The government's act in enforcing the five-year imprisonment sentence upon Marcus Garvey should be a lesson to others who have in mind the object of defrauding their fellowmen The sensation of the hour in politics has placed a dark lantern slowly smouldering somewhere with somebody connected with the United States Marshal's office. The unprecedented secret move on the part of United States Senators McKinley and McCormick in having Marshal Robert R. Levy to resign his position and then having appointed Palmer Anderson, they say, without the consent of Senator-elect Charles S. Deneen, it will be a wise thing for Senator McKinley to indelibly stamp in two places, one in the book of records of happenings of this condition and the other in the eniment recesses of his soul, for he will find that after Marth 4th Senator Charles S. Deneen will have a new pair of gum shoes and a new guillotine that will with one sweep unjoint a freight car load of political heads. They will be consigned to the new political burrying grounds to sleep at least for six years. Let them take due notice and govern themselves accordingly. If the political mirror is rightly seen into there is a fellow who now occupies the position of United States District Attorney who is preparing to return to private practice and if he isn't it might be well for him to take notice that his moving day is soon at hand. The one man who is competent and should succeed him is Judge George B Holmes, a man with an absolute unprejudiced mind. Upon further investigation we see Mrs. Mabel Reinicke, of the Internal Revenue Department preparing to move back home in her nightly dreams and her daily disturbed mind wonders just how many more days she has to remain before she will be compelled to introduce the office force to Mrs. Myrtle Tanner Blackledge, as her successor. There is one thing absolutely certain and that is the men and women of our group beyond all reasonable doubts will have a better THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 14, 1925 CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR OLD-TIME CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, CONTINUES TO REST UP IN THE HOSPITAL AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA- Surgeon's Room, John A. Andrew's Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. — I came here to attend the Tuskegee Farmers' Conference, but I have not seen any of it, and I am still on the inside looking out. Reaching here on the Monday before the meeting of the Conference, I was feeling a little down at the heel, and I went over to the bank, shook hands with Banker Gover, who invited me inside, and for two hours I remained there asleep, and when it was time to close, he had one of the office assistants to tote me over to my room building in his automobile car carriage, and Mrs. Long looked into my blue eyes and said, "I believe you are sick. Let me send for the doctor," and, of course, I objected. She was about right, though, for I was sick and sick enough to have a doctor. I did not go out at night, but right on to bed. Remained in bed until 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, up, and Mrs. Long observing that I was looking like death; called the doctor immediately. Dr. N. Curtis King came in advance and he almost had his tongue hanging out, having made a distance of nearly two miles in about the time you take to tell it. He told me that the chief was on his way, and at the same time young Webb was there with his mother, but the doctors were putting me through examination, and did not have the time for me to receive. In a short time Dr. E. H. Dibble, the surgeon-in-chief, or medical director, was there, and he, looking at what Dr. King had found—and I shall never forget that death-like look he gave me and without any words—said, "Come right on with me to the hospital." It was not a question with him whether or not I wanted to go, but he told me to come on, and spoke as if he meant it. His automobile carriage was awaiting to tote me over, and he telephones over to have the surgeons' room ready by the time he got over. In that room everything was as white as snow. When I entered the building a young woman dressed in white, looked at me like one of the angels from heaven—Miss M. S. Booth — received me and escorted me up to this room, and I explained in my own mind "Is this heaven and is I here?" Soon another young woman dressed in white, Miss F. Robinson, came in this white room, and soon they had off my clothes and had me in bed. They tell me these are what they called head nurses, and there is another one—Mrs. J. L. Reed from Florida—but I did not see her at this time, but later. Believe me when I tell you that business picked up at once. Dr. Dib- chance for positions and an opportunity to draw out of the Revenue de- partment some of the income tax that is being collected at this time and in the future. The readers of the weekly publications are awaiting with baited breath the announcement of the meeting of Ben Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, and Joseph Bibbs, editor of the Chicago Whip. It has been reported that the police department has issued an order that these two distinguished editors leave their weapons outside of the state of Missouri because that state is known as the "Show Me State" and to avoid any imprisonment they desire that they take notice of any violation or disorder at said convention, for they will be given an opportunity to see just what a fine and cost in the state of Missouri will be. We note with some anxiety the particular subject assigned to the editor of the Whip.—"What Is News and Its Value." It is reported that this particular subject will be radioed to Atlanta, Ga., so the news value can be understood by the readers who have watched the volcanic attacks made on the Standard Life Insurance Company. All persons desiring the Whip's editor's opinion will write immediately for extra copies of The Broad Ax. We note number sixteen that Oscar DePriest of Chicago will speak on the "Power of the Press." At this junction we desire to know who has been so bold as to give this distinguished citizen a classification with editors. Further down the calendar we reach number twenty-five, who has the subject of "The Work of a National Correspondent." It will be interesting to the readers of the press throughout the country to avail themselves of an opportunity that their readers be able bles ordered that I was to have only spoon food, and no knife or fork food at all. It seemed that business picked up at once. The doctor used his bug-listener to hear what killing bugs were talking about and then he decided to unset all of their plans. Miss Nettie Jones came in with something and something else, and without losing any time made my upper body bare and proceeded to give me a massagesage, or something like that. Don't ask me what it was except I know a deal of rubbing was in it. Then I was made acquainted with the nurses to look after me, and they were many, and some of their names would come in Missus the night supervisor, Provia Montinez, Jessie Powell, Edna Keelan, Maggie Price, Janie Likin, Delphia Williams, Amanda Burnett, Rosa Sapp and Elizabeth Murphis. My second day, Miss Murphy gave me a bath and rub over in alcohol, and I am being well treated here. Dr. E. H. Dibble is a wonderful physician and I want to congratulate Tuskegee on getting such a wonderful man to succeed Dr. Keeny. We are at the place now when one of us drops out another is right here to take our places, and often an improvement. I hope you may have the pleasure of meeting this young man for yourself and then you will know. I shall have something to say about the house physician, Dr. Pauline Dinkins, in my next letter. I am going to tell you about the wonderfulness of Mrs. Reid. Next month President Coolidge is going to take his seat as president of the Nation, but they say of the Nation. Lots of people had some say about this, and I am sure that he is going to be a wonderful man carrying out his own administration. I am told that things are getting warm in and about Chicago. Robert R. Jackson is going to succeed himself as alderman, and I am glad to know this. He should be so honored. Bob is a good old scout and a sane and safe leader of the people. We are constantly producing new leaders in all ranks, and there is Fred A. Bosworth, superintendent of the Englewood post office, who has been loyal, faithful and true to the chief postmaster. Thousands of Chicago people who know him and his worth are asking that he be made postmaster of Chicago. It would be a just reward to faithful service, and he has won the place. His appointment would be satisfactory, and I shall have more to say about it when I am able to write. I was given the privilege of staying up 20 minutes and the nurse has reminded me that my time is up. CHARLES E.

STANDARD OF PROVISION FOR NEGRO WELFARE Interracial Commission Suggests Minimum Community Program Atlanta, Ga.—What provision should a fair-minded community make for its colored population? In the effort to answer that question, the staff of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, in session here, has formulated the following as a suggestive minimum standard of community provision for Negro welfare as to schools, health, economic improvement and public welfare institutions. Equitable distribution of school funds, both for maintenance and buildings; Jeanes Fund supervising teacher for colored schools of the county; erection of at least one Rosenwald school a year until the needs are met; erection and maintenance of a central training school; colored parent-teacher association which receives the co-operation of the white association; colored public health nurse and adequate hos- [Name] [Portrait of a man in formal attire, smiling at the camera.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S BIRTH DAY OBSERVED BY THE ANTHROPOLIGICAL SOCIETY Sunday evening, at 3 P. M., the Anthropological Society met at their usual meeting place in the Capitol Building, State and Randolph streets, under the direction of the President, Mrs. Thos. Cahill, who has been faithful in this cause, seeking each Sunday to get in touch with new and interesting topics for discussion, as well as lecturers, and celebrated Lincoln's anniversary, known to the audience as "Lincoln's day." Short talks, favorite stories and jokes of Lincoln were related, and an interesting and helpful lecture on "Lincoln as the True American" was given by Attorney J. E. Marshall, who resides at 4110 Indiana avenue. In his remarks, he contended that Lincoln was the True American and that he represented the highest type of American citizenship and was the true American. He said, "There were two schools of thought in this country. If you will go back to the days of the Mayflower, in 1620, the slave ship that left in 1620, you will find that those who came over in the Mayflower and their descendants represent true Americans who stood for freedom, loyalty and opportunity. They represented the better side of the American people, of high and noble ideals and the best type of American citizenship. On the other hand, the southern part of the country, that believed in slavery, that believed in holding a human being as property to 'dispose of at will, had a false idea of American citizenship, and represented the baser and lower ideals of American citizenship, for in their belief, the right to enslave and hold in bondage, was such a wrong conception that they were more handicapped and bound more securely by chains of prejudice that retarded their growth, than the 4 million slaves who were, by the stroke of the pen of Mr. Lincoln, set free. The true American people knew that this country could not long endure with one-half slave and one-half free. They knew that slavery was inconsistent with a republic." Mr. Marshall spoke of the rapidly decreasing rate of the Americans with false ideals; he spoke of the also rapidly decreasing rate of Lynchings and burning at the stake of Negroes, which acts are perpetrated by those who have a false idea of liberty and of right, and of course must constitute the ones who have a false idea of true American citizenship. He sought to show the Emancipator in a new light; not only as a liberator of more than 4 million slaves, but as a man who stood for freedom, loyalty, opportunity and all those things that go to the making of a republic, that shall not perish from the earth, as he so nobly said; a republic to stand, now and forever, of the people, by the people and for the people. Short talks and favorite stories of Lincoln were given by members and also readings portraying the great and unselfish spirit of the Emancipator. All over the city, Sunday, the churches surely were setting a real Christian example, when twenty white and colored ministers exchanged pulpits. However, the Anthropological Society for thirty years has been giving the colored people the privilege of membership and inviting colored speakers on many occasions and opening its doors wide at all times for race people to come and be with them. Mrs. Thos. Cahil, president, said that "The colored people who had from time to time spoken in our society have invariably been a great credit to themselves, their friends and incidentally to us, and also we have taken great pleasure in them." In showing the broadness of this society, we note that Mr. Griner, one time American consul to Russia and of colored blood, was a member and held the office of vice president, as also did the late W. E. Mollison and Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett. Sandwiches and coffee were served and were greatly relished by all. DR. AND MRS. ROBERT H.

Later on he graduated from the University of Chicago with high honceceiving seventy-five dollars in currency. Dancing began at ten o'clock and held forth until one. The music for the occasion was furnished by Prof. Arthur Makesu' dance orchestra which was very lively. The grand march was a thing of beauty to behold. Choice and cooling refreshments were served and the whole affair reflected great credit on the progress and upward tendency on the part of the Afro-Americans in this city along the lines of cultured refinement and sociability.

Dorsey, good-looking and of a very light complexion, stood in county court in Brooklyn Monday and heard his young bride tell Judge Martin she would not go back to her old home nor forsake her husband. "Why should I go back?" she cried. "I am very happy with my husband. He is kind to me. No matter what happens, I will remain true to him, for I love him, and he has shown he loves me." The girl's father, Antonio Richio, had charged abduction against Dorsey. Grace was a telephone operator when she met Dorsey. They were married last July in Jersey City. Dorsey became a gardener at Asbury Park and they went there to live. The charge of abduction was based on the fact that Dorsey took Grace, who is under 18 out of the state and married her without the consent of her parents. Dorsey, however, was allowed to plead guilty of assault in the third degree. "They are married," Judge Martin declared, "and in the face of the girl's loyalty to her husband and her declaration that he is kind to her, I find it difficult to reach a decision. I will make a thorough investigation." "The girl is only 16," said Assistant District Attorney William F. X. Geogham. "Under the law supervision of her welfare remains with her father. There is nothing we can do here to disturb that supervision. If he is dissatisfied with his daughter's marriage, his remedy lies in a court proceeding to annual the marriage. We have here only the technical facts of a violation of the law. With the feasibility of this marriage we have no concern; that is a matter for the parents. The girl, in the eyes of the law, is still a child and under the supervision of her parents." Pending investigation, Judge Martin committed Dorsey to the Raymond Street Jail and placed Mrs. Dorsey in the care of the Children's Society. W. A. LEWIS VICTIM OF LOST POCKETBOOK TRICK (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Feb. 14. — The pocketbook trick last Thursday cost William A. Lewis $400. Lewis, it is said, was standing at 14th and G streets, N. W., when another man stooped in front of him and picked up a bulging wallet. It was decided to let Lewis hold the wallet. But for security he gave the finder of the bulging wallet his own small wallet, which contained "400 cold bucks." Lewis waited for some time for the return of the finder of the wallet so that a division of the contents could be made. Later Lewis became impatient and examined the wallet entrusted to him and found that it contained stage money, and then he of the Judicial Reform and Procedure Committee, Committee on Political Nominations, Committee on Public Expenditures, and Committee on Constitutional Convention, of the City Club of Chicago.

The following stars rendered their several parts to perfection: Madam Florence Cole Talbert, soprana; Miss Emma Duckworth, contralto; Miss Lemmyon Amourenx tenor; Mr. Euselio Concraldi, baritone, and Mr. L.

She was the recipient of three lovely bouquets consisting of American Beauty roses, etc., from a few of her numerous friends. Bethesda Baptist Church, under the stewardship of its pastor, Rev. E. T.

ATTUCKS DAY URGED Race Advised to Utilize March 5th as Annual Citizenship Foundation Day. Powerful Method of Exploiting Race's War Records. Appeal in Attuck's Name to Abolish Segregation. Boston, Mass.—Crispus Attucks observances to signalize the 155th anniversary of the day when on March 5, 1770, the Colored American began giving the last full measure of devotion to this country which it has failed in doing since, are earnestly urged by the National Equal Rights League from headquarters here. The League holds that to make March 5 an annual race day for public honor to this colored hero who was the first of all the martyrs to give his life in actual fight for the independence of this country is a most effective method to keep alive the race's strongest claim to liberty and racial equality, namely its long, untarnished record of fighting, bleeding and dying as soldiers in every war of the Republic. As "blood is the price of liberty" with the white races, it is urged that March 5 be made our "Citizenship Foundation Day," on which the race has such a logical opportunity to prove and emphasize our original Americanism and our ground-title to every right of citizenship through furnishing the proto-martyr to the establishment of the nation. On this day the race can so well remind white Americans of the great help we have been to them time and again when the country was in serious danger, as soldiers—who always fought the white enemies of the country's honor or security, with loyalty and bravery. day after the inauguration, that in every place the colored citizens form mass meetings and send appeals to President Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts to end color segregation by the Federal government at the national government in the name of Attucks, colored American, the nation's first martyr. "On the Sunday previous to every colored pastor," the Call reads, "pray God for relief from this race discrimination perpetuated by the same national government at whose orders our race has so often shouldered the musket, making it "Equal Rights Sunday." Such a Race Day, representing not what the white race has done for us, but we have done for our fellow-Americans when they asked for help and sacrifice, can be utilized to lay bare the crying injustice of disfranchising, Jim-Crowing, degrading and lynching, a racial element who have never produced a traitor from the Boston Massacre to the World War for Democracy, which we helped to win for the saving of white civilization everywhere.
