The Forum

THE FORUM Deneen Makes Hot Repartee Before the State Republican Editors in Session Here Mar. 15th at Statehouse. Governor Deneen, who had been invited to address the convention was then introduced. After a few remarks on national politics, the governor said: 'Our party is the dominant party in the state. To it is entrusted the administration of the public business. Upon it is placed the responsibility of carrying out public policies. Party harmony is essential to its effective [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. Governor Deneen. ness in accomplishing this work. It is necessary also to maintain the maintenance of its integrity as a political organization. "The party in power must necessarily be progressive in its tendencies. It is charged with the responsibilities of effective government and must be ready to meet them in administration and in legislation. In order to accomplish this it must create party machinery that will enable it to conserve its strength so that it may act as a unit in carrying out its purpose. It can only do this permanently by giving to every member of the party an equal opportunity to have his voice heard and influence felt in establishing its policies and guiding its destinies. Denounces Insurgents. "The troubles we have had in our own state have been caused by men who have insisted that the party in power and having the responsibilities of government should not espouse principles and policies necessary to the progress of the state and that the majority should not rule if opposed to their ideas and interests. This has been last shown in the policy of our general assembly. "We have witnessed the spectacle of men elected on the republican ticket refusing to enter a party caucus or to create the machinery necessary to carry out republican party pledges and to confer upon it the power necessary to meet the obligations and "Be ye doers and not sayers only." responsibilities of government. The legislative organization formed by these men was demoralized through an alliance with our party opponents. And what did this alliance accomplish or for what did it stand? It announced no principles. It matured no policies. It advocated no legislation. It presented no measures. It was purely destructive and reactionary and was meant to thwart the public will as expressed at the polls, and, if possible, prevent the redemption of party pledges. Wou'd have Candidates Pledged. "Upon what grounds can men who have engaged in this warfare upon the party ask for renomination at the primaries? I believe that every man who seeks the support of republican voters at the September primaries for member of the legislature should be required to answer affirmatively these questions: "Will you stand for party republican pledges as announced in the party platform? "Will you, if elected, help to create a legislative organization that will enable such pledges to be redeemed? "Will you go into a caucus of representatives of your party and abide by the will of the party as expressed by the majority regarding party matters? "Will you stand for the creation of machinery that will enable meritorious measures and fair discussion and a vote upon the floor of the general assembly. "A man who cannot answer such questions on account of his past record or will not answer them because of his political perversity, is a man who will breed dissension in the party and will hamper it in carrying on its work. If elected, he will become a disturber of the peace in our law making body. "The best way to secure peace and maintain harmony in the party is to nominate such men only as will espouse its principles and support its policies. The condition and harmony and the assurance of peace are to be found along the lines of majority rule. They can be secured only by nominating and electing men who will abide by the will of the party majority." William Ryan. William Ryan, Aldermanic candidate up in the old First, has left the scratch with a jump. That pace will win the Council Crown. Candidate Ryan is well known, well qualified, and well backed Every First Warder knows Will Ryan. Why, I can see from here the old house over there on 19th and Mason, where Will was born. Yonder in full view stands the Palmer school which Willie attended. After going through the public school William put a kind of finishing touch to his education at St. Mary's Academy. Then young Ryan entered the Society and Local great University of Hard Labor. He went to work in the mine with his father. After the father's death William became the main prop and support of the family. And to-day Bill is found associated with the brave men who daily toil at the face of the black diamond working truly in the Valley of the shadow of Death. William Ryan is of the masses; their burdens and hopes are his The common working folks and the handicapped know the stering quality of the manhood of Bill Ryan. Clothes, race, color, creed, cash are not the things which count most with Bill. The man is all there is to you with him. His help, his hand, his generosity and kindness are profered to any deserving. There will not go into the City Council a man better qualified to look after the interests of his constituents and the interests of the community than William Ryan. His intelligence, business experience, prudence and judgment, his energy and sane aggressiveness, his sense of honor and loyalty to duty will place William Ryan in the forefront with those able, honest, just and efficient public servants, seeking to send Springfield growing greater and better and more beautiful up the brightening way of progress.

Rockford, Illinois, smaller than Springfield, has no saloons. Last year Rockford carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers, lathers, hod carriers electricians, plumbers and excavators had $2,393,858 worth of building to do! What you did in wet Springfield only amounted to $1,789,065. Dry Decatur, one half as large as Springfield, gave her laboring men during the last two dry years residences to build numbering 956 at a total cost of $2,247,236 while wet Springfield was building only 572 at a cost of $1,452,440.

Decatur, Ill, March 5, 1910. To Whom it May Concern: I have resided in this city almost thirty years and during that time was city attorney for six years and assistant state's attorney for this county for twelve years. For about twenty-six years we have had saloons, good (if such a thing can be), bad and indifferent, and on May 8, 1908, the legalized saloon ceased to exist in this county, forever. I sincerely trust. The enforcement of the law in the city has been in the hands, for the most part, of those who have not been in sympathy with it. The first year our council standing ten "wet" aldermen and four "dry" aldermen and a "wet" mayor; the second year eight "wet" aldermen, a "dry" mayor and six "dry" aldermen. But now Mayor Borchers has a chief and police force that enforce the law and the "joints" are closed. Our city is safer, cleaner and better then when we had saloons; business of all kinds, except that dependent upon the saloons, is better, more people own homes in Decatur now than in any other period of our history; more laboring people have purchased homes in the last two years upon monthly payments than at any time heretofore, and is easier for people to do right and harder for them to do wrong. A friend of the boys and girls. A. H. MILLS THE SALOONS AND SPRINGFIELD Springfield colored people have been given such a bad name and treated so inhumanely on the account of saloons, that as the best thing for not only our Salvation, but for a mere existence we have reached the conclusion that the saloon should be abolished. No reasonable person will argue that a saloon helps this city. In some cities where saloons are regulated and low places are not permitted to run, the conditions are not nearly so intolerable, but here in Springfield the thing has run so wide open until there appears no remedy save the abolition of the saloon. On April 5th next every voter will have the opportunity to say whether or not he desires saloons to be run in this town. A friend of local option. ATTORNEY A. M. WILLIAMS. [Name] Whose business career in this city is unique and singular. Mr. Williams came here in 1902 and revolutionized the business spirit mong our people, he began with a small office and soon startled the people in making real estate deals, some of which appeared on their face, impossible. Mr. Williams applied himself to study in connection with his business and soon made application for the law examination and passed the same, hanging out his shing e. He has been a successful practitioner. He organized more beneficial business enterprises than any other colored man before or since he came here. Among the flourishing enterprises that Mr. Williams organized are the Enterprise Loan Co. and The Illinois Loan & Savings Co. There are several other smaller concerns in operation. Mr. Williams also evolved and carried out the plan and construction of the Masonic Building, the present Williams' building and hundreds of dwelling houses. Such men are deserving commendation. He is doing a general real estate and law business and has one of most complete of fices and law libraries of any colored lawyer and business man in the state. Nearly every night in the week some business organization meets in Mr. Williams office. We desire to commend him to the people of the city and state as a man who does things and does them on a large scale. PREVENTION THE REMEDY The Interstate Reporter has this to say with regard to the spirit inoculated with the animus of tearing down that which has been built up: The man who tries to tear down a worthy institution of the race is not worthy of being called a member of the race; we should try to do whatever we can to push on a laudable enterprise and not break it down. It has been truthfully said that whenever the negroes begin a business of any kind in his community the rest of the negroes who are not interested start to break it up. This we admit, but we should undertake to prevent those who are opposed from trying to break up business; if we know that such has been done in the past we should attempt to forestall their efforts in that direction in the future. If we fail to do this we are not much better than the one who is opposed to us.

DECATUR, ILLINOIS. Decatur (Ill.) Notes. The Demand of the Hour Amid the clamor, unrest and upheaval of the political field there never was a time in the history of the negro race that they needed organization and leaders as now. The negro vote that has been the balance of power since the Emancipation, has become so divided that neither the Republican nor the Democratic party cares for the negro vote. If the negro would be felt and be in a position to demand respect in the political field he must organize—select a leader and follow him. What is true of the political field is true of the religious and educational field; in fact, we need leaders in all walks of life. Mr. Harvey Watkins is one of our wide awake, energetic young men in the renting, collecting, loan, real estate and fire insurance business. He deserves credit for thrift, push, and 'stich to itiveness. Let's all give him a helping hand.—J. T. Morrow. Locals. Misses Zadie Smith and Hazel Davis of Springfield were guests of the Misses Blanton, 1042 Union St., this week. Miss Ollie Ward visited relatives in Danville Sunday. Miss Jessie McMurry spent Sunday in Clinton, the guest of her sister, Mrs. Ella Taylor. The Sewing Circle of St. Peter's Church gave a pie social last Tuesday in the basement of the church. Rev. J. T. Morrow is busy raising his building funds for the new church. Mr. John Elliot, who has been confined to his room, is able to be out again. Mr, Edgar Shaw, who has been in St. Mary's Hospital, is better. Mrs. Jefferson Jackson, 512 S. Church St., is very sick. Rev. Felix May of Bombay, E. India, preached last Sunday morning and evening at St. Peter's A. M. E Church. Rev. May is said to be 96 years of age and the father of 28 children. The Misses Blanton held a reception Monday afternoon to the young ladies of the city from 2 to 6 o'clock in honor of Misses Zadie Smith and Hazel Davis of Springfield, Ill. Dr. and Mrs. H. C. Ganaway entertained Tuesday evening in honor of Miss Smith and Davis. The evening was spent in games, after which delicious refreshments were served. In the township primary Thursday, Mar. 17, Dr. Ganaway showed his strength and influence at the polls. He would have been elected by a large majority had only one negro been on the ballot There were 9 men in the race for Supervisor and 5 to be elected. There were 7 whites and 2 negroes in the race, Dr. Ganaway lacking only 5 votes of being elected. Dr. Ganaway and Hugh Edited By H. A. Watkins. Dr. H. C. Ganaway Physician and Surgeon Havana 5c.

Mr. Eli Pierce of Monticello, Ill, will spend Easter in Decatur with friends. Mr. Louis Meadows will give an Easter Ball Tuesday, March 29th at Traver's Hall, 124 East Wood St. This will be strictly an invitation affair and good music and a good time is promised to all who attend. People will be here from Champaign, Bloomington and Springfield. Music will be furnished by Conkling's Orchestra. Mr. Frank Jackson of Bloomington, was in the city Tuesday on business. Rev. Ernest Hall of Bloomington was here last Tuesday. We note that in the local option fight two years ago some of the local option speakers said they would vote against whiskey every chance they got. In the following presidential election the most of them either voted for Taft or Bryan. Now what I want to know is this, if they are really against whiskey, why didn't they vote for the Prohibition party—the party that really opposes whiskey? This shows that someone has lied, for they had a chance to vote against whiskey and failed to do so. This shows that the local option supporters do not really oppose whisky as they say, but are simply a political machine trying to get political control. If this is not so, why not vote with the Prohibition party? Now I, as a negro, cannot afford to take part with such a machine as this, and you will find the very ones in the lead of such a machine doing nothing to help the negro. Now if the good local option people who control factories and mills open their doors and take the negro in, I will join hands with you. I, as a negro, will not vote the 30 negroes out of work and you shut the shop door in their faces. Come on; what do you say? All I ask is fair play. We note in The Forum of last week that Wm Price of Decatur made a speech in Springfield, and said that there were 63 saloons in Decatur and only 3 allowed the negro to go in. First, I would say this is untrue; of course it may be that Mr. Price is accustomed to go to these places, and knows a great deal about them. but of the 63 saloons there were only 3 that would not serve a negro. I will say there is not a soda fountia in the city that will serve a negro, and why not kick at this? There is not a shop that will work a negro; there is not a cab that a negro can drive. Now, what are we to do? Yes, he said he loved his race, but we find a white doctor going to his house. Why not use Ganaway, there are none better. Yet he loves his race. The Forum’s Staff. E. L.

The members of the Fourth Ward Colored Republican Club met Tuesday evening of last week at the residence of Mr. Henry King, 1124 So. Pasfield St., and after the regular routine of business, Edward T. Gorum made the principal address of the evening. He said in part: "Mr Chairman and members of the club:—Owing to the fact that I being selected as one of the workers to represent this intelligent body of men at the Primary Saturday, I deem it my duty to heartily thank and commend each and every one present for the way and manner in which you conducted yourselves as gentlemen, and for the support you gave our candidates, which made it possible for most of the men of our choice to be successful in receiving the highest number of votes." Some of our stanchest political friends highly commend the way that our club was organized and it is a great credit to every member of the club when we hear of such comments of appreciation said, and is being said today of this club. Then referring to the address of Gov. Deneen before a conference of republican editors of central Illinois, with reference to republican responsibility and political organization he advocated these were good steps to follow, but when we have united ourselves as one and pledged our support to some man let us see to it that some member of our race is to be benefitted by our united support. Then in conclusion he said: 'How apparent the truth appears; if we stand firm we shall not fail—the result is not doubtful—but sooner or later victory is sure to come.' Today is Saturday, pay for the Forum. DENEEN A STAUNCH REPUBLICAN. Governor Deneen has shown conclusively what manner of man he is. His speech before the editorial assembly has met with general approval and is considered one of the most timely and appropriate plain repartees ever promulgated from the rostrum. He 'hit the nail on the head,' and hit it hard at the right time and place. He is a wise man and even the evasive editors stood amazed and even ashamed of their positions. He showed up somebody. His speech in full appears elsewhere in this edition of The Forum. He is a constructive politician and aims to do the right. forums and on the stump. Here are the names of some of the books: "Famous Orators of the World and Their Orations," "Dunbar's Complete Works," "This Country of Ours," "Farming by Inches," "Hiawatha," 75 ture," by 100 colored young men; "Young People's History of the World," "Masterpieces of English Oratory," and anything else not listed, call on or write E.
