Soldiers' Bonus, Labor and Farm in

right of all people to liberty and the
pursuit of unhampered happiness.
Mrs. Spencer has been the earnest
friend, associate and neighbor of the
People of our race who reside in Chi

before women were in politics and
even long before Mrs. Spencer was
an attorney at law.
Knowing her as I do, I pledge to
you that her vote in Congress will be

can rely on her the same as if she
were of. our own race. I ask the votes

HON. SAMUEL A. ETTELSON
Republican Candidate for the State Senate, Third
JT Senatorial District
Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson, who is
by far the very best and the braniest
Corporation Counsel that Chicago has
ever had and he has served in that
capacity longer than any of those
who have discharged its duties in the
past, for he was selected Corporation
Counsel by Mayor William Hale
Thompson in November, 1915.
As Corporation Counsel Mr. Ettel
son always greets his friends with a
pleasant smile and it makes not the
slightest difference if they are rich or
poor, high or low, white or black.
Senator Ettelson was born in this
city November 9, 1874.
He is the highly honored son of
Benjamin and Flora (Philipson) Et
telson. He received his early educa
tion in the public schools of his na
tive city, including West Division
High School.
Later on in life graduating with
high honors from the Harvard Uni
versity Law School

Mr. Oscar De Priest,
3439 State St.,
Chicago, 111.
Dear Sir: In answer to your in
quiry as to my indorsement of Wal
lace G. Clark as a Candidate for
County Treasurer. I wish to say that
I not only do not indorse him, but
most emphatically request that any
friend of mine who has any confi
dence in my judgment use their ut
most efforts to defeat him at the
Primary.
If I were not leaving the City I
would delight to appear as often as
possible in public in a campaign di
re ted particularly against this man.
I believe that the time has come, re
gardless of politics, that the Negro
should stop advancing their known
enemies.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Dr. Geo. C. Hall,

to place in your hands this denial of
ever having signed the article in the
Chicago Defender under date of
April 1st, purporting to sanction the
Candidacy of Wallace G. Clark.
My name was secured by misrepre
sentation, and I not only repudiate
the signature, but am irrevocably op

Chicago, 111.,
April 3, 1922.
Mr. Oscar De Priest,
3439 State St,
City.
Dear Sir: I am very pleased to
have had you call my attention to the
article in the Chicago Defender in
behalf of Wallace G. Clark, Candidate
for County Treasurer and containing
among other names my own.
I not only did not attach my sig
nature to such an article but, after
reading the reprint in the Chicago
Tribune article of May 2, 1915, am un
alterably opposed to Wallace G.
Clark and his kind, seeking the suf
frage of my Racial group.
Mr. Davis of 37th and Dearborn
streets told me that he had used my
name to indorse some friend of his. I
told him that was all right, but now
as I know the Candidate to be Clark,
I withdraw the consent given Mr.
Davis. I do not think any self re
specting man of color could do other
wise. Respectfully yours,
(Signed) Herbert Turner, M. D.

rectors of the Chicago home for Jew
ish orphans. He is a member of the
Metropolitan, Hamilton, I. A. C, play
ers director.
He might be considered one of the
fathers of the Eighth Regiment, Il
linois National Guard, for he is ever
ready to raise his voice in the State
Senate at Springfield to aid it to se
cure appropriation for its armory and
so on.
It was Senator Ettelson who se
cured the one hundred and seventy
five thousand dollars from the Legis
lature to construct its new armory at
Thirty-fifth street and Forest avenue.
As a member of the State Senate
from the Third Senatorial District
Senator Ettelson. has directly caused
to be placed on the statute books of
this state many measures which will
be of lasting benefit to all the people
residing throughout the state of Illi
nois. Senator Ettelson led off in the fight
for the women's ten-hour law and he
has always been a strong advocate of
union or organized labor. It was he
who secured the passage of the act to
increase the number of superior court
judges in Cook County.
There is no question about Senator
Ettelson's re-nomination at the prim
aries Tuesday, April 11, to make the
race for the state senate from the 3rd
Senatorial District of Illinois for he
must be returned to the state senate
so that he will be able to uphold the
arms of Hon Len Small and Mayor

TORNEY RICHARD E. WEST
BROOKS FORJUDGE OF THE
MUNICIPAL COURT OF
CHICAGO
He Stood by Hon. Martin B. Madden
and Delivered a Speech and Voted
in Favor of the Passage of the
Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill
Every Colored Man and Woman in
His District Should on Tuesday,
April 11, Assist to Re-Nominate
Him
It is a well known fact, that outside
of Hon. Martin B. Madden, few men
in Congress have the moral courage
or the manhood to stand up and con
tend for the civil and political rights
of the Colored race, and to bitterly
cry out aloud against the unspeakable
and outrageous wrongs which are con
stantly being perpetrated upon the
race.
Hon Elliott W. Sproul, member of
Congress from the Third Congres
sional District of Illinois, stands in
the same class with Hon. Martin B.
Madden, in that respect, and in spite
of the cowardly threats and bulldoz
ing on the part of the Negro hating
southern congressmen. Congressman
Sproul not only voted for the passage
of the Dyer Anti-Lynching .Bill,
but delivered the best speech that he
had ever made while urging his asso
ciates to do likewise, and he stood
shoulder to shoulder with Hon. Mar
tin' B. "Madden, during that trying and
exciting period.
Congressman Sproul is heartily in
favor of a Bonus for soldiers and
sailors and a pension for widows and
orphans, regardless of their race or
nationality. He has worked hard,
early and late, in the interest of all
the people residing in the Third Con
gressional District and as lie is a true
and sincere friend of the Colored peo
ple, each and every Colored man and
woman in his district should on Tues
day, April 11, assist to re-nominate
him.
Hon. Richard E. Westbrooks, presi
dent of the Cook County Bar Associa
tion, has become one of the leading
Republican candidates for one 'of the
Municipal Court Judges, six year term.
Mr. Westbrooks easily measures up
with the best white lawyers in this
city and he would make an ideal Judge
of the Municipal Court of Chicago.
His name can be found next to the
last name on the Municipal Court bal
lot, and by putting a cross in front
of.his name, and not voting for any
one else, your vote will count 30 times.
MRS. HELENE DANEK
Successful Business Woman; President of the Woman's Pro
tective Association; Housewife; Noted Musician; Welfare
Worker; Constructive Citizen; Republican Candidate for
County Commissioner. Her Name Is 14th on the Ballot
Both Men and Women Can Vote for Her at the Prinuries,
Tuesday, April 11.
Mrs. Helene Danek, candidate in
the Republican primary for County
Commissioner, is featuring in her
campaign a pledge that if elected she
will use her influence to establish a
municipal lodging house to furnish a
clean, temporary shelter for women.
"The woman temporarily out of
funds and away from friends is in a
hard situation," says Mrs. Danek,
who is the wife of Dr. David Hill
Danek. "In desperation many of them
seem to think there is only one of two I
things for them the lake or vice. A
temporary free shelter for penniless
women, women who are decent, but
broke, is sadly needed in Chicago."
Mrs. Danek, as president of the
Woman's Protective Association, 715
County Building, an organization rec
ognizing no race or creed, has done
a great work among women, and her
friends declare that she will perfon
a most valuable service to the cca
munity as a member of the Coej
Board. The object of the Woca'i
Protective Association is to lead pro
tection, aid and human sympitij to
deserving penniless women. Ma
Danek's proudest boast is that 98 per
cent of the women who apply to lie
Woman's Protective Associatioi fcf
assistance are plaintiffs and not de
fendants. "I think that women on the Cccty
Board," said Mrs. Danek, "would be
able to bring some improvement era
in our county institutions. The ca
have done pretty well, but thewooaa
mind and viewpoint might add 1 1M
to the situation."
Mrs. Danek before her minap
was a successful business wobm.
She has studied in Europe, and is
noted musician.
