NO.41 SHERMAN FOR PRESIDENT His Candidacy Getting Stronger Daily. Sherman Organizations being Perfected in various Parts of the United States Colored Down State Sherman Organization Being Perfected Here. JOHN H. HARRIS Hon. L. Y. Sherman, one of the brainstest exponents of the republican party in the United States, is making a nation-wide campaign for President and everywhere he has gone he has been enthusiastically greeted and cordially received. His candidacy is gaining impetus everywhere and his policies are being accepted as fundamental and reliable. The very best encouragement is given him everywhere he has spoken or where his speeches have been read. He is the logical candidate to head the G. O. P. next year. A brilliant man, a ripe political scholar and one of the best parliamentarians this country has produced, a republican from the original stock. Illinois will be unanimous for Sherman. Several other states will have strong Sherman clubs and thousands of followers. The Colored people here are perfecting one of the biggest organizations in the state, and will endeavor to get every Colored voter to vote for Sherman at the primaries in April. It will be a grand thing for Illinois and Springfield to furnish the next President of the United States, a thing now probable. From a standpoint of ability, he ranks among the country's foremost statesmen, keen sighted and erudite, politically, he stands for the original principles as enunciated by the republican party at its birth. He is constructive and progressive in his ideas and fearless in his conviction when assured that he is right. Therefore he is emphatically endorsed by the Forum and the slogan is: "Sherman for President, now and forever." The prospects are getting better and brighter and we shall not be surprised if he is nominated amidst tumult on the second ballot at the National Convention next June.

Died at the Deaconess Hospital November 3rd, Mrs. Annie Lewis of 218 Mulham St. Her funeral was held from the undertaking parlors of F. W. Erxleben, Friday, November 5th. She died from the effects of an operation. Her remains were shipped to her former home, Pittsffeld, where interment was made. Mrs. Frances Davis died November 5th at the residence of her aunt. Mrs. A. Boone, 516 N. Douglas steeet. Services were held from the undertaking parlors of F. W. Erxleben, to ward chapel, A. M. E. Church, Nov. 9th. Rev. S. B Jones officiating; burial at Springdale cemetery Peoria is building a new jail. Mr. Chas. S. Freeman conducts a very modern and convenient rooming house, consisting of two stories, on Jackson street and a flat on N. Washington street in the rear. He has been conducting these places strictly orderly and without mole-tation. Nothing whatever, so far as he is able to ascertain and prevent, goes on there that could be said to be immoral or indecent. He is endeavoring to make a legitimate livelihood, and his places are peaceful, clean and up-to-date. There is never any disturbance, and when ever he finds any one not willing to obide by the rules, he gets rid of such persons. The place is no "resort," but a regular rooming place for persons by the day, week or month, the same as the larger hotels, and conducted without suspicion or reproach. SUFFRAGE VOTED DOWN EVERYWHERE SUFFRAGE VOTED DOWN EVERYWHERE Another decisive blow has been given those who continue to agitate for so called equal suffrage, The people seem to feel confident that the men will protect the women and that no real antagonistic legislation by men against women is immident. Those who share this opinion are right. What's for the best interest of the women is also for the best tutterest of the men and the whole country, to aim to separate the interests of male and female is absurd. As time passes where women are given the ballot, you will also discover that the women will be voting almost as strong for the "wets" as the men. Woman is only a part of man and what man desires and believes best, as a whole will be acquiesced in by the women. As advisers and commandants, women have always played a conspicuous part in the political world. BARKSDALE'S BOYS HURT BY AUTO BARKSDALE'S BOYS HURT BY AUTO Last Sunday as Mrs. G. A. Barksdale was alighting from a street car at 9th and Carpenter Sts. with her two boys, a fast driving autoist ran over the two youngsters, imperiling their lives. The boys were unconscious for a while and it was believed one would die, but, up to Wednesday, they were improving. The driver never even stopped to see if he had done any harm, but sped on with increased speed, a very mean thing. The number of his car, however was ascertained and his name and place of residence secured. His name is Anderson and he has been apprehended and incarcerated and will face a serious criminal and damage suit. The fact that the boys were not killed is a miracle. A severe lesson should be taught this incorrigible "Skeets." RUFUS M. POTTS RUFUS M. POTTS Supt. Rufus M. Potts was out of the city this week on business. Mr. Potts has been frequently called away to give lectures on insurance. He is well versed in the business and has made a splendid record as Insurance Superintendent of this state. He is well liked by all who know him. This office has grown to large demensions and is one of the most busy and important in the state. 15. ($1.50 per Year in Advance 20 Cents per Month) nd Peoria DECATUR. A hay ride was given Friday night by the older people. Miss Margaret Price entertained ad a Holloween party Friday night. Mrs. Sarah Chatman is very much improved. Misses Goldie and Lucille Phoenix entertained at a Holloween party. It was well attended. Mr. Sol Clanton was in the city.

The house was decorated in the color scheme of black and yellow. Mr. Weakley was in the city. The case against Attorney S. Clanton and Mrs. Francis Weaver, formerly Miss Coil, for getting important witnesses out of the state, was handled lightly. She asked for probation and was allowed to leave the state. Attorney Clanton was fined $50 and cost. Mrs. Weaver said she acted on advice of her lawyer. The witnesses were for the case of A. O. Coil, who was charged with criminal assault and later sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. GREAT PRAISE FOR REV. LAZIE Rev. Bazie, pastor of St. Paul A. M.

NOV. 1ST The Masqurade ball given at Masonic Hall last Monday evening, Nov. 1st, was quite a nice affair and very funny. The fellow with white "breeches" on was a bushel of fun. GOV. DUNNE. THE HUMANE EXECUTIVE The colored people of this state, and the nation, will ever hold dear to their memory the name of Edward F. Dunne, Governor of Illinois, for the humane position he took in the Deberry hanging case and the reprieving of Scott for 30 days. It is a shame that such should occur in this state, but we admire a man of the high ideals of Gov Dunne, and the courage. This act of the Governor may not appear important, but it is far reaching and he is admired from all parts of the country because he believes in right and has a "heart" blg and sympathetic. G. H. L. NELSON. HEALTH INSPECTOR Mr. G. H. L. Nelson, who stood at the top in the civil service examination in this city, has been appointed health inspector for this city. J. MILTCN TURNER DEAD J. Milton Turner, of Missouri, one of the pioneer colored orators and statesmen, is dead. He played a big part in the early development of the republican party and the reconstruction of the South. He was considered a matchless orator and even compared with Blaine, Conklin, and the other pillars of the nation of whom he was a contemporary and political associate. He was a leading republican, but 20 or 25 years ago, changed to a democrat and never rallied. Weekly paper devoted to the interests of the whole people.

SATURDAY, NOV. 13, 1915 Must Make Strong Showing For Sherman at National Convention It is very imperative that the very best showing in favor of Senator Sherman be made at the primaries and at the National convention next June, because, if it is shown that he is not only strong, but the strongest available man, he will as a party exigency, be the choice of the convention. This can only be done by us, the people of Illinois organizing every county into a compact body, getting out a large vote at the primaries and then taking a solid delegation to the Convention. Furthermore, if we make a strong fight in this state and make that immediately, other states will be persuaded and constrained, to join Illinois, already conceded to be the "battle ground," for the onslaught in 1916. There is no question but that Sherman is as able if not more able, than any other man now considered. Root is able, but his fairest chances seem to have passed, also, Senator has some of the stains from the 1912 National Convention still on his forehead, and even the Chicago Tribune views those stains with suspicion. Mr. Mann proposes Root as his candidate, and Mann is none too popular in his own state. Some of his legislative records are checkered. Sherman's whole record stands out in bold relief, unscarred and unblemished. As a republican, he is staunch and fearless, as an American he is courageous and patriotic, a type of Abraham Lincoln, both in appearance and statesmanship. We advise the colored people from the South and North alike to line up for Sherman, assuring them that in him, (Sherman,) we have the Second great Commoner, in whose wisdom and judgment, the destiny of the Republic and the principals of Lincoln, Sumner, Garrison, Grant, Logan, McKinley, and that galaxy of innumerable statesmen, who saved the Nation, rests secure and tranquil. It is obvious to the most stupid, that the country now faces a crisis, the parellel of which has not occured before since 1860, when Calhoun, Jeff Davis, Toombs and Alexander H. Stepens, walked out of the hall of Congress and took with them the eleven Southern States, plunging this Nation into the greatest civil war recorded on the annals of history, ancient or modern. The Colored man for the last 50 years, has played a conspicuous part in choosing Republican presidents and electing them, and that power and privilege is still his. Therefore, we, the colored people of Lincoln's state and home town, here under the very shadow of his tomb, silent, but yet potential, appeal to the colored people to make Sherman the Standard-bearer, the second Moses, the modern Joshua. Come over in Macedonia and help,—this is "Armagedden." POWDER FACTORY A Company of men from Alton have purchased a large tract of land north of this city and are building a great powder factory, hundreds of men are working and it is said that all who come may work. Some people will object to this factory; alleging that it is an accessory before the fact in the war "murdering." and that we aiding the allies etc. All of which course is rot. We need powder even if none of it is sent abroad. Sherman is getting ahead of all of the presidential aspirants. We shall not be surprised if Illinois again furnishes the man in the white house who is able to deliver us from the thraldom of wars. He who would be respected must first respect the rights of others. You cannot condemn gossiping too strongly, All men who aim to do something and are sacrificing, are maligned and ill spoken of. The person who fails to see errors in himself is seldom right. A bad person is he who is slow to forgive and never reproves himself. The worst enemy of yours is he who agitates you into uncalled for retaliation. Christianity is that which is Christ-like, and to be Christ-like does not imply that one is sinless, but that he is controllable, meek and reasoning. It now appears that the republican party has rehabilitated. We said, in the fall of 1912, that we believed the republican party had not served its best usefulness—we yet hold to that belief. It is strange that people reverse the law and presume the accused guilty until he has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he is innocent. Who wants to be the next States Attorney on the republican and Democratic sides, respectively? Commissioner Smith wants to eliminate the office of police magistrate—but what will Clark Shipp do for a job? O ye hard hearts, ye cruel men of Rome—or something like that. Suppose we be a little more careful about calling things and actions by others "Jim Crow." What we understand to be "Jim Crow" is where discrimination is made purely on account of of race or color or nationality. The 5 talents story referred to in the Bible is one of the parables ever before given. There are thousands of persons who find fault and will not develop what they have, but are forever coveting that which someone else has, give them someone else's talents and they be destroved also. God knew full well what he was doing. Notice The Forum Office is located at 713% E. Wash. St. over Illinois Meat Market. You ought to come up and pay for your paper every Saturday or every month.
