George E. Brennan for United States Senator; Hon. P. J. Carr for Sheriff of Cook County; Hon. Robert M. Sweitzer, Clerk of Cook County; Hon. Anton J. Cermak, President of the County Board; Hon. Henry Horner, Judge of Probate Court; Hon. M. C. Robin, Clerk of Probate Court; Hon. George F. Harding, Treasurer of Cook County; Hon. Edmund K. Jarecki, Judge of the County Court. In Short, All the Candidates Whose Names and Cuts Appearing in the Columns of This Newspaper Carry Its Highest Indorsement and They Are Fully Qualified to Discharge the Duties of the Various Offices Which They Are Seeking at the Hands of the Voters Tuesday, November 2. Hon. Robert M. Sweitzer, Democratic Candidate for Clerk of Cook County, Whose Honorable Record Simply Means That It Is All Over for Him But the Shouting! The great senatorial race in the great state of Illinois has almost passed into history and by the time that this newspaper makes its appearance it will be a thing of the past, at the beginning it seemed that it would be a one-sided show, but as the contest warmed up it was plainly evident that Hon. George E. Brennan had laid plans to put up a stiff fight all a long the line. Col. Frank L. Smith in a very short time fully realized that he had a bitter fight on his hands, and without any HON. CLAYTON F. SMITH, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS, IS A BIG, BRAINY, SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN. There are thousands of successful business men in this city, but none of them have the edge on Hon. Clayton F. Smith, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Cook County, and he understands how to accomplish big things in politics. Mr. Smith is also deputy commissioner of Public Works of Chicago and he is right on the job all the time; he is also interested and an officer in several banks, and a strong supporter of Hon. George E. Brennan for United States senator from Illinois. Hon. Robert M. Sw of Cook County, W That It Is All Hon. Robert M. Sweitzer, the highly honorable and most proficient County Clerk that Cook County has ever had, is serving his fourth term as clerk of the aforesaid county, and during all of his terms as such he has faithfully discharged the duties of that office with fidelity and honesty and has made for himself a name which will stand for ages to come as one of the faithful and honest public officials of this county. He first came in contact with the light of day on May 10, 1868. His parents were John Martin and Mrs. Sarah (Lanning) Sweitzer, who were among the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Chicago. Mr. Swetzer received his early education in the city of his birth, graduating from its higher branches with the usual honors. As he approached manhood he entered St. Patrick's Commercial Academy and after diligently applying himself to his studies for some years he emerged from it in 1884 well fortified or equipped to follow a commercial pursuit, and shortly after doing so he became connected with James H. Walker and Company, wholesale dry goods merchants, and he held a responsible position with that firm for seven years or until it failed in 1893. Then he became connected with the wholesale dry goods house of John V. Farwell and Company, November 15, 1893, and remained with the old established and well-known house until December 1, 1910, and had it not been for the fact that he was elected doubt about it public sentiment in all parts of this state has been running in favor of Mr. Brennan and against Col. Smith, on the eve of the statewide election the main fighting will be between those two senatorial candidates, and Hon. Hugh Magill will not be in it and if all indications do not fail he will be the third horse in the race and not the first nor second, and the hundreds of thousands of the friends of Mr. Brennan residing in all parts of this city and state confidentially feel that he will be the next THE GRAND BALL AND RECEPTION HELD AT ST. ELIZABETH CLUB HOUSE, PORTY-FIRST ST. AND MICHIGAN AVE., LAST EVENING, WAS LARGELY ATTENDED The Democrats seem to be making great headway in their missionary work among the colored voters in all parts of this city. Last evening, Mrs. George E. Brennan, the splendid wife of Hon. George E. Brennan, Democratic candidate for United States Senator from Illinois, was the guest of honor of the Cook County Colored Democratic Organization at St. Elizabeth's club house. The other guests of honor were Hon. Edward J. Kelly, head of the South Park Commissioners, and political Clerk of Cook County he would still be holding down a high position with that firm. Mr. Sweitzer is extremely popular among the large circle of loyal and steadfast friends, for he thoroughly understands how to draw men or friends to him and not to drive them away from him. As an evidence of this fact, for years he has been the head director of the Illinois Commercial Men's Association and Illinois Traveling Men's Health Association and for more than 25 years he has been the chairman of the executive committee of the Alumni Association of St. Patrick's Commercial Association; he is also a prominent member of the Illinois Athletic Club, the Iroquois Club, Knights of Columbus, Royal League, Elks, Edgebrook Country Club and of Knights of St. Gregory. In 1904 Mr. Sweitzer was united in marriage to Miss Alice Kevil and they are the proud parents of three children, two daughters and one son, Robert M. Jr., residing at 2958 W. Jackson tauleave in the old 13th ward. For many years Mr. Swetzer has been a power in the Democratic party on the West Side and he has assisted in making and un-making city, county and state officials; he even assisted in making Presidents of the United States, for as one of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention held in San Francisco, Cal., in 1920 he led off in the fight to prevent the renomination of President Woodrow United States senator from Illinois. There is one thing that has happened in this political fight which has caused all the wise and longheaded and long-eared politicians to set up and take notice, namely, to obscure so many colored men and women not of the beggar class nor of the tramp class working hard right out in the open for the election of Hon. George E. Brennan to the United States senate on Tuesday, November 2, and the colored voters throughout this state will cast thousands of ballots for Mr. Brennan. campaign manager for Mr. Brennan; Hon; Robert M. Sweitzer, County Clerk; Hon. P. J. Carr, next Sheriff of Cook County; former Alderman Thomas H. Nash; Hon. Harry Beam; Mr. N. K. McGill. Major A. E. Patterson was chairman of the meeting; Attorney Earl B. Dickerson, chairman executive committee, and treasurer; Mr. Fred Bramlette, secretary; Mrs. Mary E. Reynolds, Mr. J. Gray Lucas, Mr. Paul Wilson, Rev. E. J. McCoo and Rev. S. A. Anderson. It was a wonderful meeting in every way and much spice was added to the gathering by a reception and dancing which followed. Refreshments were freely served and Mrs. Brennan was right at home while mingling with the colored citizens at St. Elizabeth club house. Wilson, and any of his henchmen from walking away with the crown of glory. There is one thing which can be said to the everlasting credit of Mr. Sweitzer and that is that he is absolutely free from race prejudice and in October, 1914, he made the speech of his life at the laying of the corner stone of the new Eighth Regiment Armory, where he freely mingled with the colored people. Shortly after that event he presented Col. Franklin A. Denison with a fine and very expensive mahogany writing desk which will remain in the rooms of the Eighth Regiment Armory for many years to come. Mr. Sweitzer always deports himself like unto a first water or high class gentleman; he is plain and democratic in his ways, and the doors leading into his main office always stand wide open during business hours so that the rich and the poor, the white and the colored, the high and the low can walk right in and see him and make themselves at home. He always carries on his conversations with his hundreds of callers each day in easy measured tones and whenever we happen to drop into his office he always mildly exclaims: "howdy do Brother Taylor, I am glad to see you!" Mr. Sweitzer firmly believes in the "Fatherhood of God" and the "Brotherhood of Mankind." As far as his re-election is concerned for Clerk of Cook County Tuesday November 2 it is all over right now with him but the shouting. A M. HON. P. J.

GEORGE FRANKLIN HARDING, JR. Millionaire real estate owner, ex-member of the city council from the old second ward, ex-State Senator from the first Senatorial District of Illinois; ex-city Comptroller of Chicago; president of The Chicago Loan and Trust Company, member of the great realty firm of Frederick H. Bartlett & Company, the largest real estate dealers in the world; one of the prominent leaders of the Crowe, Barrett, Harding wing of the Republican Party in this city, who has laid all the plans to present his magnificent art collection to the citizens of Chicago. Senator Harding is one of the most public spirited Chicagoans and a loyal, uncompromising friend to the colored race. His legions of friends and strong supporters freely predict that he will be the next Treasurer of Cook County. Hon. George Franklin Harding, Jr., president of the Chicago Reaf Estate Loan and Trust Company since 1905, was born in Chicago August 16, 1868, in the beautiful old home of his parents, George Franklin and his mother, Mrs. A. M. Harding, 2623 Indiana avenue. He received his early training in the city of his birth. Later on he attended Phillips, Exeter Academy in New Hampshire and after graduating from it with high honors, in 1887 he entered Harvard College, emerging from it in 1891 with the degree of A. B. and polished manners which he still wears even unto the present day. On December 29, 1896, Senator Harding was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Arborn Davis of Neenah, Wis. (now deceased). After recovering from the loss of his first wife and after paying the proper amount of respect to her memory, he was married to Miss Katherine Fay of Peoria, Ill., who has also closed her eyes in death. Shortly after returning home from college he began to assist his father in conducting or managing his extensive real estate business or holdings and today Senator Harding is one of the largest real estate owners in Chicago and one of the directors of the Frederick H. Bartlett syndicate, the largest real estate dealers in the world. Senator Harding is a prominent Senator Harding is a prominent T. T. E. COL. FRANK L.

In 1905, after a hard-fought battle, Senator Harding was elected to the city Council from the Second ward and for ten years thereafter he was one of its most valuable members. During that length of time he served faithfully on all of its most important committees. In 1914 he was elected to the state senate from the first senatorial district of Illinois and succeeded in making his presence felt in the upper house of the Legislature of Illinois. Senator Harding ranks with the best business men of the city. He is a clean-cut, smooth polished gentleman and always deports himself in this polished manner. For four years he was City Comptroller, and at all times transacted the sworn duties of that office right up to the mark and upon leaving that office he was presented with a beautiful gold watch by the employees of the office, which he greatly appreciated and wears all the time. Senator Harding and the writer have been staunch friends for more than 26 years and during all those years not one cross word has ever passed between us and we honestly feel that on Tuesday, November 2, that he will be elected Treasurer of Cook County. 1 United States Senator From Illinois Warm Friends and Supporter Illinois Who Feel That on Tuesday elected to the United States Senate THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 30, 1926 Hon. Adolph J. Sabath Delivered the Following Eloquent Oration in Congress Recently, in Favor of Erecting a Monument in France to Colored American Infantry Regiments Attached to the French Army. Mr. Sabath: "Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the House, this bill authorizes the expenditure of $30,000 to erect a monument in France to commemorate the gallant services of the four colored Infantry regiments comprising the Ninety-third American Division attached to the French Army. The regiments included New York, formerly known as the Fifteenth New York Infantry; the Three Hundred and Seventieth, a volunteer regiment from Illinois, formerly the Eighth Illinois; the Three Hundred and Seventy-first, a drafted regiment; and the Three Hundred and Seventy-second, composed of a separate battalion from Ohio; one from the District of Columbia, and separate companies from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maryland. Three of these regiments had their colors decorated with the French War Cross for gallantry on the field of battle. The total casualties of these four Infantry regiments, which had a battle strength of approximately 10,000, or 2,500 to a regiment, were 457 killed and 3,468 wounded, or 40 per cent of the effectives. With the exception of the First and Second Divisions, there are not many American divisions which had a higher percentage of killed and wounded. These four regiments were the only American regiments attached to the French Army during the war for administration, supply, and operations, each regiment being assigned to different French divisions. I have been questioned—yes; criticized—for voting in favor of this bill. I wish to state to these gentlemen as well as the House that the vote I have cast is in line with my policy that I have at all times followed ever since my first term in the H se, namely, equal rights and recognition to all and special privileges to none. The mere fact this division was composed of colored troops can not and should not detract from their patriotism and bravery, which they have dis- WHY SENATOR FRANK B WILLIS WILL WIN IN OHIO NOVEMBER 2 Washington, D. C., Oct. 29.—Senator Frank B. Willis, Republican, of Ohio, has a record for demonstrating his consideration for the masses of the people, which antedates his present incumbency in the United States Senate. In fact, it was Congressman Willis and Governor Willis, who emphasized legislation and executive protectorate of all the people all the time. It was during the first administration of President Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, with a democratic majority in both houses of Congress, that Congressman Willis showed his mettle in championing the cause of the underdog. During the spring of 1914, when the democratic administration was insistently endeavoring to create a monopolistic wealth, Congressman Willis openly defended the small producer and protected him from a competition which would ultimately have been disastrous. Willis fought the Trusts, advocated pensions, and assisted in sponsoring the Clayton act. As Governor As Governor of Ohio, Mr. Willis seized every opportunity to demonstrate his consideration for the masses of the people. Aside from giving the Negroes of Ohio representation in the highest executive office of the State, Governor Willis showed his fearlessness, when Right and Justice were at stake, by refusing to permit the showing of the infamous Griffith film, "The Birth of a Nation," because of its reflection upon the colored race. played under the most trying conditions. No one had the courage to say that their recognition is undeserved. The only opposition that is raised is raised because of the r ce of which these regiments have been composed. The record of these regiments entitles them to the grateful recognition of a grateful Republic. As to their services and gallantry, General Pershing stated: "I can not commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." "I deplore that we should find men so prejudiced that would deny the recognition of such splendid service rendered to our country in the hour of need. I have frequently pointed out the splendid loyalty and great service rendered by the foreign born, and what I have said of them is equally true of the colored people of the United States. I am satisfied that any man who is not blinded with prejudice must concede that they have done their part and their share in the winning of the war; they have displayed patriotism, valor, heroism, and bravery that shall not and can not be minimized by anyone. "It is to be deplored that anyone should try to detract from people because of their nationality, race, or religion. I hope that this intolerant spirit of prejudice so often manifested will disappear and that America will treat all on their merits and deserts. "Some gentlemen charged that we who favored this legislation did so for political reasons. I resent these statements and their insinuations. I have voted against discrimination when I did not have a single colored vote in my district. I have some in my district now. But I do not expect to secure their vote because they vote the Republican ticket, it matters not how unfairly and unreasonably they may be treated by the Republican party. But Migrants in Ohio When the World War brought about the influx of Negro migrants to fill the gaps in northern industries, Ohio received a very large percentage of the northward newcomers. The state's industries were severely taxed in meeting the demands of war consumption. Ohio factories took on Negro labor in increasing groups. These groups brought to the state new social problems and new and perplexing questions in industrial relations and employment opportunities. The State's welfare resources were kept busy in the necessary interracial adjustments. Throughout the period of early adjustment, Governor Willis so directed the various offices of the State as to give aid and comfort both to employers and employees. His policies were regarded favorably by the great industries and the workers of the State. Negro labor was given its chance in Ohio; and when the tremendous demand fell off, the unemployment and other disconcerting adjustments were but slightly felt in the Buckeye State. It is a fact that the turnover of Negro labor in the evolution from War to Peace was felt less in Ohio than it was in any other central Western State; and the marked efficiency, permanency, and prosperity of Negro labor today in Ohio is largely due to the broad and liberal policies pursued under the executive direction of Governor Frank B. Willis. Senator Willis Coming to the Senate in 1921 Senator Willis began to face many of the questions which were to finally stamp him as the champion of the masses rather than of the classes. Before scarcely a year had clapped he had unfortunately for them, they continue to follow that party implicitly and blindly. They do so not realizing that the present Republican party is no longer the party of Lincoln. The Republican party today is the party of special interests and not the party of and for the people. It does not stand for the broad liberal principles that the Republican party stood for under Lincoln. It stands for discriminatory and prohibitive legislation and at all times against the masses. "Therefore, I have no apology to offer. In fact, I am glad that I voted for this bill. By doing so I have been able to acknowledge the splendid service, loyalty, patriotism, and heroic deeds of these regiments, all of which is a matter of record. I feel that it is our duty at all times to give credit where credit is due. I hope that the day will be fast approaching when prejudice and intolerance will disappear; that good will may prevail, which will make for a happier, more contented, stronger, and more humane country." With much pleasure and pride, we reproduce the masterful oration delivered in the House of Representatives recently by Hon. A. J. Sabath form the Fifth Congressional District of Illinois, who spoke in favor of erecting a monument to the memories of the colored American soldiers who laid down their lives on the bloody battlefields of France for a world-wide democracy. The above eloquent oration by Congressman Sabath plainly indicates that he knows no race nor creed, that he is a friend to all humanity. Therefore, the colored voters residing in his congressional district should feel that they are highly honoring themselves by assisting to re-elect such a broad-minded statesman as Hon. A. J. Sabath to Congress from the Fifth Congressional District of Illinois. Vote for him on Tuesday, November 2.-Editor. voted in favor of both the Liberian Loan and the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. The former was menaced by Senator Ashhurst, democrat of Arizona, who sought to amend the resolution providing for the Liberian Loan. Senator Willis sturdily voted and fought against the Ashhurst resolution, and, on November 27, 1922, opposed Senator Simmons, democrat of North Carolina, who sought to defeat the Liberian measure. Anti-Lynching Bill When the fatal democratic filibuster of November, 1922, was launched against the Dyer Bill, Senator Willis remained in Washington throughout the entire fight on the bill, and courageously assisted in endeavoring to pass the measure. The Negroes' Friend Senator Willis insistently carried forward the measure proposing to establish civil government in the Virgin Islands, and has pledged himself to continue this fight when the Senate convenes this year. He has endearded himself to the Virgin Islanders, and to the colored people of the United States by his insistence that the islanders are worthy of being given a chance to govern themselves. Upon all Negro appointments Senator Willis has steadfastly clung to the idea that the colored race should be given just and due recognition. He quickly voted to confirm the appointments of Recorder of Deeds Free, Collector of Customs Cohen, and Municipal Court Judge Cobb. The Senator has set forth at all times the traditions of Ohio, the stronghold of abolitionists in pre-Civil War days, and the hope of Negroes who desire Justice and Liberty. 340 HON. MITCHELL C.

"I have always been a strong advocate of personal liberty, and for that reason have always been opposed to prohibition. I am for the modification of the Volstead Act to permit the use of light wines and beers. As State Senator I voted against the concurrence of the State of Illinois in the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, and also voted against the Search and Seizure Act. If elected to Congress I will introduce a bill for the modification of the Volstead Act to permit the use of light wines and beers.

NEGRO STRIKE IS MAIN BUSI NESS OF FEDERATION MEET Chicago, Ill., Oct. 29.—The main topic of discussion at the Sunday afternoon meeting of the Federation of Labor was the strike of the colored women date stuffers. The Federation pledged its support to the women strikers and voted unanimously to give them credentials to solicit strike funds from all labor organizations affiliated. It is said that President Fitzpatrick introduced the discussion declaring that the strike has a great significance to the entire labor movement. It exposes the exploitation of Negro workers which is a menace to all workers as the bosses use their power over unorganized Negro workers to decrease all wages. He also stated that the strike opens as a member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County, for aside from Mr. Conroy there is not one other member of that taxing body residing on the southwest side. Mr. Conroy Held in High Regard His enviable record is evidenced by the many friends who regard his opinions with a great deal of value. Those who have had occasion to transact business with Mr. Conroy have come to regard his integrity as well as his knowledge of public affairs as absolutely reliable and authoritative. He was appointed by the Board of Local Improvements as condemnation commissioner for La Salle Street widening. Business Men's Choice In addition to holding office of Assessor, Mr. Conroy holds the important position of president of the Ashland Avenue and 55th Street Business Men's Association.

Chas. B. MR. CHAS. B. TRAVIS Travis, for Alderman in the coming Spring, 1927, election.

These factories form a cheap reservoir of cheap labor coming up fresh from the south and exploited in such manner. Conditions under which they are compelled to work are horrible he said. He declared that the conditions were such that the stuffed dates produced in that factory were unfit for human consumption. Mr. Fitzpatrick said that he had appealed to the U. S. Department of Labor to investigate, and that the Maras Company, where the women were employed, refused to remedy conditions. closest friends for many years. He knew full well Mr. Sheridan's ideals and thoughts regarding civic affairs. He enjoyed the absolute confidence of his esteemed friend and always sought to be of assistance to him in every possible way. These few facts are sufficient to indicate how well qualified Mr. Conroy is to fill the position to which he has been appointed and to which he will be elected on Tuesday, November 2. Mr. Conroy, who is a nephew of Mr. D. F. Kelly, manager of the Fair, State and Adams Streets, is vice-president of the 16th Ward Democratic Organization and he is a warm friend of Hon. Terence F. Moran, the best and the most hustling alderman that that ward has ever had. Mr. Conroy is not ashamed to let the people know that like Alderman Moran he has many friends among the colored voters residing in the new 16th ward, and in other parts of this city, who will assist him to make a fast home run on Tuesday, November 2, and become one of the members of the Board of Assessors of Cook County. For in every way he would be the right man in the right place. Mormon Photo HON. EDWARD J.

MAN INJURED WHILE AT WORK IN FIELD BY LOW-FLYING AIRPLANE Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 29.—Clark Henry was knocked down and seriously injured while at work in a cotton field Wednesday by an airplane flying at an extremely low altitude. The plane swooped down and struck Henry and then sped off toward Montgomery before its identity could be determined. wins friends for him wherever he goes and he never fails to accord to every one the respect due from one man to another. He has the business ability to discharge any duties and obligations placed upon him. Because of his affability and other qualifications as a business man, and his well-known honesty and integrity, the many friends of Mr. Ryan feel dead sure that on Tuesday, November 2, he will be re-elected as one of the members of the Board of County Commissioners of Cook County. --- a; S y MR. WILLIAM J. CONNORS The popular and efficient Superintendent of the Department of Licenses Chicago has many political possibil- ities to offer the voter and citizen in general of her vast territory. But among the main contenders for her high honors none loom forth higher than the popular superintendent of the Department of License, City of Chi- cago. He is one of the prominent mem- bers of the cabinet of Mayor William E, Dever. He is the second member of the Board of Assessors brought forward by the Democratic party. Mr. Conners takes to politics as readily as a duck takes to water. And he has come up through the ward and pre- inet political school. In the past he has served as Deputy Bailiff of the Manicipal Court of Chicago for six years and has been constantly on the job—day and night. It seems that Mr. Connors sleeps with both eyes open all the time. In 1922 he made the race for County Commissioner. For twelve years he was a far-sighted and competent sales manager for the Creamery Package Manufacturing Co. Having a strong political following Mayor Wm. E.

And so far he has only proven himself to be the right man for the position, for since he has filled the position he has very greatly increased the efficiency of the License Bureau. He and his assistant will run down ‘or chase any person to the end of the earth in order to increase the license fees for the City of Chicago. The revenue of that office has steadily ‘increased since he became superin- tendent, Mr~ Connors in the past has always played fair and square with the colored people. Among the many fav- ‘ors which he has accomplished for the colored people has been to appoint at least hal dozen racemen as deputies in his office which amply proves that Mr. Connors is absolutely free from race prejudice. Mr. Connors is in favor of lower taxes which would be greatly bene- ficial to the small taxpayers who are struggling hard to save their little homes which are heavily taxed be- yond all reason. So vote for Mr. Connor, Tuesday, November 2nd, for member of Board of Assessor of Cook County and lower taxes. George E. Brennan for United States Senator Union Labor Club The George E. Brennan for Senator ‘Union Labor Club is made up of rep- tesentatives of practically every labor ‘union in Cook County, and has been organized for the purpose of assisting jin the election of George E. Brennan as United States Senator of Illinois. As citizens and as trade unionists we believe it is our duty to take an ac- tive interest in the election of a United States Senator and particularly so at this time because of the issues involved and legislation pending at Washington. We know the position that George E. Brennan takes on the issues of the day, and we know his attitude on labor questions. We also know the record and the attitude of the candidates who oppose him. The modification of the Volstead act is an issue in this senatorial fight in Illinois, as well asin practically every state where a senator is to be elected this fall, The American Federation ‘of Labor_has gone on record as being for modification of that law, so as to allow the sale of light wines and beer. We know that the eighteenth amend- ment and the Volstead act were put ‘over on the people of our Nation when we were all busy on the job of winning the war. No greater steal of the peo- ple’s liberty was ever perpetrated. We Believe that employers and wage earn- ers alike today realize that the Vol- stead act has done more to tear down respect for law and order and to de- stroy the morale of the people than any legislative act that was ever placed in effect in any country. The election of George E. Brennan as United States Senator from Illinois because of the stand he takes for mod- ification of the Volstead act will be effective notice to the entire Congress as to how the people of Illinois feel on this question. Aside from the wet and dry question, we are supporting Mr. Brennan because no other candidate for United States Senator in Illinois is as familiar with Labor's problems and as sympathetic with Labor's position as he is. Mr. Brennan comes from the ranks of labor. He began life as a breaker boy in the coal mines of Illinois, and while so employed lost one of his limbs, but despite that handicap, he has developed to his present position—nominee of one of the great political parties for the high office of United States Sen- ator. George £. Biennan’s position on labor questions can best be illustrated by his action’ in connection with the passage of the anti-injunction bill in 1925. As the leader of his party he was asked to use his influence against this labor measure. He not only re- fused to oppose it, but on the contrary a large part of the credit for its passage belongs to him, because he used his influence with the Democratic mem- bers of the Legislature to vote for that measure. Mr. Brennan has time and time again rendered invaluable service to the trades union movement. When the officials of the Miners’ union called BULLETIN No. 80—-LEARN THE TRAFFIC LAWS AND OBEY THEM By Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins From October 17th to 23, 383 per- sons were injured and 20 were killed through automobile accidents. The total fatalities for the year on account of motor vehicle accidents up to Oc- tober 23rd: $78 killed and 11,664 in- jured. This is an alarming increase over the figures for the corresponding period last year when 532 were killed and 10, 706 were injured, The biggest contributing factor to this wholesale murder of human be- ings is the reckless speeder. No busi ness justifies driving a vehicle at a rate of speed greater than is reasonable and proper. Don't speed. Better to lose a few seconds than to lose one's life, or: te take another's life. Remember, there is nothing as precious as human life ‘On stormy and rainy days motorists and pedesttians alike must be partic larly careful.” This criminal slaughter MUST stop. Motorists must drive slowly when children are seen in the street. Pedes- trians should always stop and look both ways before crossing the street. Traffic signals must be obeyed by the pedestrian. If there are no signals us common sense. Never figure that the driver of a vehicle is going to stop to let you pass. Be sure of it, or wait until he passes. Never pass behind a vehicle without a clear view of traffic approaching from the opposite direction. Always cross the street at the nearest corner. The middle of the block is always an in- vitation for an accident. his attention to the fact that Cook County Public Institutions were about to sign contracts for the purchase of non-union coal mined outside of Illi nois, he immediately got busy with the result that contracts were let for Union mined coal from the state of Illinois. He assisted in the organization of the employees that come under the super- vision of the South Park Commission- ers, Many other acts of co-operation and service rendered by Mr. Brennan in behalf of the organized labor move- ment of Cook County and the state of Illinois could be mentioned, We are urging every citizen to join us in bring- ing about his election to the United States Senate. \ As to Mr. Brennan's opponents in the election for the United States Sen- ate, his chief opponent is Frank L. Smith. Mr. Smith served in Congress some years ago, and at that time had a voting record that was considered fair to organized labor. However, since that time, Frank L. Smith has suffered a change of heart towards organized labor, and that fact is best known by ithe following resolution adopted by the Street Car Men of Chicago, as to Frank L. Smith's action and attitude towards organized labor in recent years: “Whereas, The organized electric railway workers of Chicago, some 20,- 000 in number, having experienced in 1922 a drastic wage reduction through the attitude and ‘efforts of Frank L. Smith as chairman of the Illinois Com- merce Commission; and “Whereas, The said Frank L, Smith during the fare rate hearing before the commission, allied ‘himself with the political forces that were demanding, as a political propaganda movement to decrease fares, a reduction of wages of the employes and the abolishment of labor conditions that our Union had struggled many years to establish; and “Whereas, Frank L, Smith as chair- man of the Illinois Commerce Commis- sion, told the representatives of our Union at this hearing that the em- ployes should accept a wage reduction in order to reduce fare rates, and he at- tempted to get them to agree to a wage’ cut of 12 cents an hour not only that, but he permtited the introduction of a volume of evidence against the em- ployes’ wage rates and conditions of labor that was unfair in the extreme, giving the company encouragement to lower the employes’ working standards and resulting in a later attempt by the company, when the order of the Com- mission reducing fares was entered, to cut the street car men’s wages nearly 19 per cent and to take away their 8- hour basic day and other favorable labor conditions; and “Whereas, The 20,000 Amalgamated members of Chicago were forced into a strike in August, 1922, paralyzing in- dustry as a result of the action of Frank L. Smith and the other members of the Illinois Commerce Commission, with the result that the men’s wages were reduced 10 cents an hour, and Always play safe. The other fellow may not.

DUQUESNE YOUNG FREED OF ABDUCTION CHARGE (Preston News Service) New York City, Oct. 28—John Ran- kin of Duquesne, Pa, who has been living here with Miss Bertha Soffer, also of Duquesne, was released from a charge of being a fugitive from justice Friday in Magistrate Rosenbluth’s court. Police had held the couple until the girl's father came here from Duquesne and provided bail for the girl's release. But it is said that efforts to persuade her to turn against Rankin proved of no avail. She would not bring a seri- ous charge against Rankin, ~ Defying her parents, Miss Soffer took the stand in behalf of her child- hood sweetheart. Following the hear- ing and the release of Miss Soffer the girl was taken back home to Duquesne, where she will stay until the birth of her child by Rankin, It developed during the hearing that the couple had gone to school together. Early in September she said she came to New York to visit her aunt. Sud- denly she disappeared. Her father was notified and the police were notified te locate her. The parents of the girl are said to be doing everything possible to prevent the marriage of the couple. Miss Sof- fer still maintains that there is nothing in the world that will keep her from marrying Mr, Rankin. “I do not care if he is a colored man. He is a gentle- man and the only maa I love. I will marry him and I defy anyone to try io Had sane fxben Gainer pact! that following the issuance of the fare reduction order, which was later mod- ified by the Federal Court and which in reality was intended and resulted in ja wage cut order, Frank L. Smith ad- journed his Commission the day previ- fous to the strike, took a motor vacation trip .east and deserted the situation, leaving the people of Chicago and the employes to work out of the strike the best they could, but the great blow fell upon the 20,000 employes in an unjust wage reduction from 80 to 70 cents an hour, which we have never been able to restore up to this time: therefore be it “Resolved, That we express our op- position to the election of Frank L. Smith as United States Senator from the State of Illinois, that as chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission he used the prerogatives of his office to bring about a cut in wages of a group of faithfut workers, who at best have a continual struggle to provide necessaries for themselves and fam- ilies, and that by his attitude against the 20,000 union electric railway work- ers of Chicago, Frank L. Smith has proved himself unworthy of the votes of our fellow unionists throughout this state, and that we stand opposed to his election as United States Senator, or to any other public office, and we appeal to all tradg, unionists and their friends in this state to use every legitimate means to bring about his defeat at the November election.” Committee on Publicity James Flynn, President, O.E.A.; A.

Martin B. Madden, Who Will Be Re-elected to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois, Tuesday, November 2nd. He Ranks Among the Greatest Friends of the Colored Race in the World. He Is the One Bright Star of Hope of the Afro-Americans in the United States. THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD The highly honored member, of Congress from the First Congressional District from Illinois. Chairman of the Committee on Appropriation in the lower house of Congress, who is one of the best and most powerful statesmen in existence and he will be returned to Congress Tuesday, November 2. Hon. Martin Barnaby Madden, Republican candidate for re-election for Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois, was born at Darlington, England, March 20, 1855. He was the son of John and Eliza (O'Neil) Madden. He received his education in the public school, night school and business college. As a small or young boy he faithfully served as water boy for the Western Stone Co. At that time he was only 10 years old, his parents prior to that time coming to this city from their home in England to reside. On May 16, 1878, Mr. Madden was united in marriage to Miss Josephine Smart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Smart, of Downers Grove, Ill., and they are the proud and honored parents of one highly accomplished daughter, Mabel B. (Mrs. Paul Henderson), whose husband played his part well on the battlefields of France while fighting to win the war for a world wide democracy. Mr. Henderson is now head of the air mail service of the United States. Being full of courage and ambition and possessing a large amount of executive ability to an eminent degree. Mr. Madden worked his way up from the water boy of the Western Stone Co. to its president. Mr. Madden honorably served as the president of the Quarry Owners' Association of the United States from 1885 to 1889; president of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association, 1901-02; vice-president Builders' and Traders' Exchange of Chicago, 1886-87; delegate to the National Builders' Conventions five times. With distinction he served as Chairman of the Republican City Committee of Chicago from 1890 to 1896; he has been a prominent member of the Republican County Committee since 1890 and until recently he was its first vice-president; he was the temporary chairman of the Republican State Convention of 1896; he has served as a delegate to all Republican National Conventions since 1896 until 1920 (served on sub-Committee on Resolutions since 1900), and wrote the Isthmian plank in 1900; he was one of the most prominent, valuable and most business like members of the Chicago 1 monored member of Congress from the District from Illinois. Chairman Appropriation in the lower house of the best and most powerful state and he will be returned to Congress THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 30, 1926 City Council from 1889 to 1897, and was president of that body from 1891 to 1893, and was chairman of the Finance Committee seven years out of eight. Mr. Madden was elected to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois in 1904, and just as he was sworn in on the 4th of March, 1905, he was selected as one of the members of the Committee on Appropriations, and it was the first time in the history of the lower house of Congress that a brand-new member has ever been selected to serve on that most important committee of that body; the long and varied business experience of Mr. Madden pre-eminently fitted him for that position, for some time prior to being elected to Congress in 1904 he was one of the directors of the Metropolitan Trust and Savings Bank and his banking or financial training in that direction assisted him to easily grasp and master all of the vast propositions which confronted him in the United States Congress. For some years past Congressman Madden has been a heavy stockholder in the Central Trust Company of Illinois. Long since Congressman Madden has proven himself to be one of the best and foremost, ready running and most effective debaters in either branch of Congress. His numerous fiery tilts with the fire-eating Negrohating Congressmen of the South in relation to the civil and political status of the colored people in this country has attracted the attention of the civilized world. His speeches delivered in Congress February 27, 1909, June 8, 1914, January 7, 1915, January 11, 1915, April 4, 1916, and April 24, 1916, on "The Black Battalion Loyalty of the Colored Soldier Versus the Proposed Segregation of Colored People," "Injustice of the African Exclusion Amendment to the Immigration Bill," "Protection of Negro Womanhood," one of his most powerful orations, was delivered not so long ago against "Jim Crow Car Laws" and "Jim Crow" legislation in general; "Answering Criticisms by Congressman Clark of Florida" and "Defense of the Constitutional Rights of the Negro" are the most logical and formidable orations in defense of the man.lood rights of the Negro that have been delivered in either branch of Congress since the days of the immortal and illustrious Charles Cummer. Mr. Madden is one of the hardest working members of Congress. Being known far and near, he receives hundreds of letters daily from people all over the country; many of them are from colored people wanting him to do this, that and the other thing for them, and he never rests until the very last letter is answered, and if those who are only known to him by reputation in all parts of this country could vote for him on Tuesday, Nov. 2, he would be re-elected by more than two hundred thousand majority. As further evidence of his unalterable friendship for the colored race, Congressman Madden has in the past traveled from Washington, D. C., and from this city to Boston, Mass., at his own expense, simply to address large gatherings of colored people. In Washington, D. C., the colored people and their preachers are constantly calling on him to come and talk or preach to them, simply showing that they highly appreciate the undying service which he has so unselfishly rendered the colored race for lo! these many years. In 1918, when the members and the friends of the Old Olivet Baptist Church, 27th and Dearborn streets, were striving to raise the money to purchase its new church, 31st street and South Park avenue, Co gressman Madden sent its head officials his check for one thousand dollars and heartily wished its pastor, Rev. L. K. Williams, and its members and friends God-speed in their effort to move into a larger and better church. Congressman Madden, after laboring long and very hard, finally secured the passage of his pet bill in both houses of Congress to increase the pay of all the employees in the postal service throughout the United States and as a direct result of his labors in that direction, thousands and thousands of colored men and women working for Uncle Sam in the postoffice department have received more pay for their services and they, as well as the white employees in that branch of the government residing in this city and throughout the country would be less than human if they did not want to see him re-elected to Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois. Right here the writer takes great pleasure in stating that during our long experience in coming in contact with public men that our highly esteemed friend, former Congressman Hon. William Sulzer of New York City and Congressman Madden are the only two men of note who have been able to brush race prejudice aside with the wave of their manly hands, who have not felt themselves above consulting with a colored man on some of the most important questions of the day and they have never entertained the idea for one minute that they were disgracing themselves by seeking our advice or opinion on certain measures which at that time were pending before Congress. As the following letter reveals the fact that Congressman Madden has a great deal of faith in our ability to do or to accomplish things: The enclosed bills are before the Committee on Reform in the Civil Service, of which I am a member. We had a very interesting hearing on them this morning and when the hearings are printed I will send you a copy. I intend to fight every inch of the way to prevent them from reporting the bills, but of course the Committee is Democratic, and the majority of the Democrats are from the South, and it is not likely that I can win in the fight; but if I lose I expect to make a minority report. I don't know how much time I will have in which to do that. I want to ask you to write me immediately after reading the bills what you would say if you were going to make a minority report on them. I may not be able to use all you say, but I shall be glad to have your views; in fact, I want them and must have them. I want you to co-operate with me in this work. Sincerely yours, MARTIN B. MADDEN. In conclusion, the brilliant or the bright shining "Star of Hope" which has been firmly anchored in the hearts of the twelve million colored people scattered throughout this broad land by Congressman Madden will continue to grow brighter and brighter as the years roll on to eternity.

"Get more intimately acquainted with fish than merely looking at the goldfish bowl. Fish is easy of digestion, contains vitamins for health, and has strength and body building proteins. "Fish and sea foods are a good source of iodine, the mineral that prevents goiter," states the Commissioner. "The poor fish in our good Lake Michigan are itching to be broiled, baked and chowdered.

The November election is fast approaching and the people are beginning to pay close attention to the various candidates who are seeking their suffrage. And it seems to be the universal opinion that the Hon. Henry Horner, Democratic candidate for Probate Judge will be re-elected November 2nd. In discharging the duties of the Probate Court since his election twelve years ago, Judge Horner has displayed legal ability, judicial qualifications and such fairness, intelligence and industry that this court has been accorded the approval of the Bar and the admiration of the community. He has applied efficiency and business methods to the dispatch of the Court's work, disposing of it expeditiously and yet with just and fair consideration of the cases which have come before him and in accordance with the splendid traditions of that court. Judges of this character are not easily found. The benefit of Judge Horner's service and his years of experience must not be lost to Cook County. Every consideration demands his re-election. Address to Chicago Bar Ass'n, October 11, 1926. By the vote of the Chicago Bar Association held in June, 1926, endorsing Judge Henry Horner for re-election as Judge of the Probate Court of Cook County, Illinois, he received 2020 votes; his two opponents received a total of 369. It must be said to the everlasting credit that he is one of the most friendly disposed and human judges who has ever presided over the Probate Court. He is highly cultured in his manners and it would be very bad indeed for all he people of Cook County if he failed to be-elected, for with him on the Probate bench the colored people of this city can always depend upon it of having a true friend at court. So mark an X on the ballot in front of his name Tuesday, November 2nd and assist to re-elect him to his exalted position. 74 HON. ANTON J.

President of the Board of County Commissioners who will be re-elected to it Tuesday, November 2. In the past he has possessed the manhood and the courage to display his unswerving friendship for the colored people by appointing many of them to responsible positions at the Cook County Hospital and other places and it is safe to say that hundreds of them will vote in favor of his re-election on election day. Hon. Anton J. Cermak, present president of the Board of County Commissioners, who will be re-elected as such on Tuesday, November 2, has become one of the best and most far-sighted business men of this far famed city. He is ever interested in all the affairs which will redound to the benefit of all the citizens of Chicago. county jail with a $4,500,000 bond issue voted, the care of dependent and border line children, increase in the nursing service at the county hospital, great reduction in the labor costs for the forest preserves, making the forest preserves more attractive, improving the care and food at the county hospital and poor farm, and the building of new hard roads. Mr. Cermak is a most remarkable figure in politics, expressing in character those traits of industry, patience, good sense, mastery of detail which come from his Czecho-Slovakian ancestry, plus vision which has led him through the greatest constructive program in the history of Cook county. He is particularly anxious, it is said, to carry out the superhighway and wider roads program which has just been launched by the county board, a great regional plan which will place Chicago as the first city in traffic movement. Credit with Money Saving During his four year term Cook county has expended $43,134,250 in its various activities. Through close watching of vouchers and placing the county on a cash basis, Mr. Cermak is credited with saving nearly $2,000,000 to the taxpayers during his term. He finished the last fiscal year with all bills paid. The installation of labor saving machines is said to have brought another great saving, which was applied to the mothers' pension fund. Among the achievements credited to his regime are the dental clinic for poor children, a $2,525,000 annex to the county hospital, provision for a new HOUSTON PERMITS NEGROES TO SEE ART EXHIBIT AT MUSEUM Houston, Texas, Oct. 29.—Following the announcement of whites that Negroes may see the art exhibit, Negroes took advantage of the opportunity and turned out in large numbers to see the Cizek exhibit Thursday when the Museum of Fine Arts was open to them from 8 to 10 p. m. The announcement was made through the Y.W.C.A. and the public schools. Arrangements were made to transport the children and their parents to the museum.

Worked as Coal Miner Mr. Cermak was born in Bohemia in 1873. He was brought to America when an infant. He was educated in the schools at Braidwood, Ill., and was a coal miner there until 1892, when he removed to Chicago to enter the coal and wood business. He started the real estate firm of Cermak & Serhaut. He has been secretary of the United Societies for Local Self-Government and of the Liberty league since 1906. He served four terms in the legislature and three years in the city council. In 1912 he was made chief bailiff of the municipal court. He was elected to the county board in 1922. Mr. Cermak has always been true in his friendship for the colored people, as the head and front of the county hospital he has employed many colored men and women in all parts of it, and as the head of the municipal court of Chicago he placed two colored men in that office. Being a high Mason, Mr. Cermak feels that inasmuch as he received 30 per cent of the votes of the colored people residing on the south side an din other parts of this city in 1922, that they will greatly assist to re-elect him to his present position Tuesday, November 2.

A. A. S. MR. THOS J. COURTNEY Democratic candidate for State Senator from the 11th Senatorial District of Illinois, who is making a strenuous and active campaign for his election. Mr. Courtney has many friends among the colored people residing in his senatorial district who will assist him to win out at the Polls, Tuesday, November 2. Mr. Courtney is at present council committee secretary and sergeant-at-arms of the city council. His candidacy has been endorsed by many business and improvement organizations, also by the former service men's association, of which he is a member. He is a lawyer, is 35 years of age, was born, reared and educated in the district he seeks to represent, and lives with his wife and family at 7632 South Loomis street. He is strongly in favor of home rule for Chicago and strenuously advocates the passage of a reapportionment bill, so that Chicago may have the full number of representatives in the state legislature to which it is entitled under the state constitution. He pledges himself to strict economy in the appropriation of state funds and further states his chief concern while in public office will be to reduce taxes whenever and wherever possible. He is in favor of deep waterways, and more and wider roads leading into and out of Chicago. It is his belief that Cook County has been deprived of its fair share of state automobile license fees long enough. It must be said to the great credit of Mr. Courtney that he adhered to his labors during the daytime and studied law in the evening, never missing one single session or even from his law school. No one wishes him greater success in the world of law than the writer. THIS WEEK By Ernest Rice McKinney (For Preston News Service) A recent issue of the Pittsburgh Courier—one of our leading papers, run by a good lawyer who has been very successful in the practice of his profession—contained 100 per cent scruilous, underhand, brazen, unwarranted and unethical intended attack on the N.A.A.C.P. and its two leading Negro officials. I am talking about that "slush fund" (scoop) (?) wherein the Courier made a very weak but noisy effort to tear the foundation pillars from under the N.A.A.C.P. and cover its officers with slime and fifth. The Courier says that the N.A.A. C.P., Dr. DuBois and James Weldon Johnson, got some money from the Garland Fund. Right here it is necessary to say a word concerning the nature of the Garland Fund. This fund was established by Charles Garland, a New England young man who had inherited about $1,000,000. He is somewhat of a "nut" about the propriety and morality of inherited wealth and unearned increment. Therefore, the young man decided to give the money away. He established a fund, known as the Fund for Public Service. This fund is managed by a group of persons of spotless character and of the highest standing. All of these men are nationally known and all of them, except possibly one are men of independent means. James Weldon Johnson is a member of this committee of management. Mr. Johnson's membership on the management of this fund seems to be the great crime in the eyes of The Courier. Not only are the managers of the Garland Fund upstanding, honorable and efficient citizens, but the treasurer of the N.A.A.C.P. is Joel Springarn, a leading scholar in the field of comparative literature, staunch, unwavering and militant friend of the Negro and fairly wealthy. And I might mention Mary White Ovington, a white woman Democratic Candidates to be Voted for at the General Election, Tuesday, Nov.2, 1926 PRESIDENT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Anton J.

Jandus, 4122 W. 26th St. RE-ELECT Judge Henry Horner Democratic Candidate for PROBATE JUDGE Election: Tuesday, November 2nd, 1926 who certainly would not seek to elevate herself in the estimation of white America by close association with our group. These are the men and women that the Courier—a Negro paper—has seen fit to strike at and throw mud at. In the first place, in the publication of this attack, the procedure of The Courier was unethical and misleading. The reports of both the Garland Fund and the N.A.A.C.P. are audited by certified public accountants and are public property. There is no secret about them. The young upstart who dug up this imaginary " scoop" for The Courier may have imagined that he had got hold of an exclusive piece of news, may have thought that he had seen a "man bite a dog." This novice—circling the bases on a foul ball—must have imagined himself strutting forth with the Pulitzer Award for the best news story of the year. I am not certain but it is my guess that it was Mr. Floyd Calvin who sent in this bit of news. Now I can understand how, an untrained and untamed reporter could take a public report and label it an exclusive news story, but for the life of me, I cannot understand how a responsible editor could uncritically pass it by when the final proof sheets are placed before him. This was evidently done, however, and The Courier committed the sin of publishing a public report freely given to its "detective-reporter," and misleading the public into believing that this was a fine piece of news reporting and investigation. According to The Courier no other paper could or was alert enough to get this story. Only The Courier—300 miles in the hinterland, could get this load of swamp gas. Another feature of this business is the fact that the Garland Fund was Charles Garland's private money. He could do as he pleased with it. He elected to give it away and requested that it be all spent within a certain number of years, three, I think. All of this money has been used in aiding organizations that find it difficult to get funds to carry on their work. Due to the nature of these organizations and their espousal of unpopular causes, it was almost impossible for them to get money enough to keep going. The attack of The Courier is ample proof of the necessity for such a fund. Even Negro organizations must have funds to protect themselves from the groundless attacks of some Negro editors as well as from our old time enemy—the southern white man. I cannot understand why any Negro—no matter how high he thinks he is, or how low he actually is—should want to lay any obstacles in the way of the N.A.A.C.P. I can only attribute it to mean jealousy or ignorance or stupidity or all three. There is no justification for it. Another mean phase of the attacks on this organization is the fact that these attacks are always directed at its Negro officers only. This is typical. The average Negro will run from a white man in order to find some Negro's throat-to cut. The Courier is no exception to this rule. Ernest H. WILLIAMSON UNDERTAKER ERnest H.
