HON. PETER M. HOFFMAN FOR
SHERIFF OF COOK COUNTY
On Tuesday, April 11, the Repub
lican voters of this city and county
must choose or nominate their candi
date for Sheriff of this county and
'in doing so they should be careful
in selecting their candidate for Sheriff
and see to it beforehand that if elect
ed at the election in November "that
he will not permit the criminals in
the County Jail to run it to suit them
selves; to walk or break out of it
whenever they feel disposed to do so,
and to roam the streets at large,
armed to the teeth with deadly
weapons, shooting down in cold blood
law abiding men, women and children
at their sweet will.
In the past, Mr. Hoffman, as cor
ner of Cook County, has amply
proven himself to be a worthy and
honest public official, possessing
courage and determination, to adhere
to the 'law at all hazards. That fact
was clearly demonstrated in the race
riots in this city in the summer of
1919. At that time Mr. Hoffman, who
is free from petty race prejudices,
let the world know that the colored
people in this city and county would
receive a square -deal at his hands,
which they did. And in appreciation
of that fact the vast majority of the
colored men and women residing in
this city and county should, on April
11, assist to nominate him for Sheriff
of Cook County.

ley, was also elected as one of the
Trustees of the Sanitary District of
Chicago in 1916. Mr. Mueller is one
of the most popular German-American

being a high-class business man, the

services well rendered in the past by
a majority of the voters at the pri
maries Tuesday, April 11.

VOTE FOR CHARLES A. GRIF
FIN AND GEORGE T. KERSEY
HON. MICHAEL ROSENBERG
Chicago. 111., March 29, 1922.
To My Friends:
Interested as most of us are and as
all of us should be in the political sit
uation confronting us, I am taking it
upon myself to address these lines to
my friends and anyone else that may
read them.
I believe in the first place we owe
it to ourselves and next to the public
at large to put our forces behind a
man whom we know to be trustwor
thy and capable. Misrepresentation
is worse than no representation at all,
and our race has been "exploited and
sold out" long enough to now be con
cerned about the character, as well
as the caliber, of those we name. It
is conceded that our group is entitled
to representation in every branch of
our government the whites will co
operate with us if we do our part in
sending up the right kind of men.
There is one running that I know by
25 years' personal acquaintance to
measure up, he has the integrity, abil
ity and courage, and above all stands
four square for his race. Cast your
vote for GEORGE T. KERSEY for
Legislature.
Next iooJv for the name of another
good man who is making the race in
the First District for State Senator,
whom I have known since he became
a man. and for whom I can say he
is all right in every respect honest
and efficient, can be trusted anywhere
to do the proper thing at the proper
time I refer to Mr. Charles A. Grif
fin. Vote for these two men and we
will have two reliable representatives
any how.
Respectfully,
SANDY W. TRICE.
