CBATIC CANDIDATE FOR CITY
CLERK OF CHICAGO.
It is almost useless to state that
kone-t Ernst Hummel does not need
tie slightest introduction to the many
readers of The Broad Ax, for he has
resided in this city for many years,
hailing from that sturdy German-Amer-itan
stock which has accomplished so
auch for the upbuilding- not only of
Chicago but other parts of the United
States as well.
A? it must be said to the credit of
ilr- Hummel that he has also spent
nrach of his time and energy in that
Bane direction pertaining to the ad
vancement and the development of this
peat city.
In 1S97 and in 1903 Mr. Hummel was
elected city treasurer of Chicago and he
taking and tip-top city official. For
years he has been the secretary of the
South Chicago Brewing Company and
secretary of the United States Brewers'
Association, with offices on the fifteenth
floor of the First National Bank
Building.
Being exceedingly popular with all
classes of his fellow-citizens and most
especially with the German-Americans,
he has clear sailing for the nomination
for city clerk of Chicago at the pri
maries Tuesday, February 23d.
From October 1, 1900, down to the
present time, Mr. Hummel has been a
constant subscriber to this paper, and
we regard him as one of our best
friends, and we feel dead sure that
many of its readers will assist to put
him over the plate in good shape.

Never in the history of Chicago has
so much bitterness been displayed by
the candidates seeking the nomination
for mayor of this city as is displayed
at the present time between the vari
ous candidates and especially between
the Hdns. Carter H. Harrison and Hon.
Robert M. Sweitzer, the Hon, William
Hale Thompson and Judce Harry Ol
son. The friends and supporters of
these four candidates are constantly
fighting over every inch of the ground
in a life and death struggle, and some
times it is mighty hard to tell just
which way the democratic and the re
publican political cats will jump, for
the head commanders of these four po
litical camps or armies all claim that
they scent victory in the air for their
respective candidates. On the demo
cratic side of the fence or river it does
seem that Hon. Robert M. Sweitzer has
many shades the best of the fight, and
the Hons. Roger C. Sullivan, John if.
Hopkins, Fred W. Blocki, Henry Stuck
art, Frank S. Ryan, George E. Bren-
nan. John Aicuiiien, ionn x. wnnwj
and many of the other high chiefs of
the democratic party freely predict his
nomination for mayor of Chicago at
the primaries Tuesday, February 23d,
and for our part we are willing to cast
our lot with Mr. Sweitzer every day in
the week and Sunday, too, for wo firm
ly believe that ho will bo nominated
and elected and that he will make, one
of Jhe best and most progressiTfe'miy
ors that Chicago has ever had.
Mayor Carter H. Harrison, or the
"man of destiny," and his followers
are, yfall political sign do not fail,
marching on to an inglorious 'defeat,
for -everything seems to indicate that
the vast majority of the electorate of
this city feel that he has served them
far top long as their chief executive;
that after feeding' at the public crib
for twelvo years he should be willing
to step aside and permit some one else
to occupy his place at the democratic
political trough.
Tn many ways .this has been .mani
fested, for when, his pictuto-has been
thrown on the screens at some ox the
theaters it has been more thaneoldly
received by tho audiences with indif-ferenee.-
At he same time whenever the pic
tures of Hon- Robert M. Sweitzer and
Hon William Hale xnompsoa, wno
seems to be in the lead over Judge
Harry- Olson or the nomlnatloH tor
mayor, aro flashed on tho screens they
are heartily applauded by the people,
who seem to look upon them as the
lucky winners of the democratic and
the republican majority prizes.
As the Aldermanic contest in the
Second Ward is drawing to a close,
which will be long remembered by all
those who have participated in it in
the slightest degree, the following
sane appeal has been sent out to the
Colored voters Tesiding in tho Second
Ward in behalf of Hon. Oscar De
Priest by the Colored Citizens Aider-
manic committee setting forth sound
reasons for supporting his candidacy
at the primaries this coming Tuesday,
February 23.
1. Primarily what the race wants is
representation in the city council. To
best bring about this result, support
should be given to the candidate who
will draw a large vote from our White
friends. Owing to his successful pub
lic record, for two terms county com
missioner, and the fact that he has
the endorsement of ninety per cent of
tho White Republican precinct commit
teemen and of all the Colored com
mitteemen of the Ward, we are con
vinced that Mr. De Priest is entitled
to your support.
2. In selecting a Colored candidate
we should take into consideration the
fact that a nominee has yet to be
elected, and for the reason that the
Colored voters, even as a unit, could
not elect, we must have such a candi
date as would merit support on elec
tion day as well as at the primaries,
from the whole people, by reason of his
long and active participation in the
republican politics bt this city, county
and state; his wide acquaintance
among politicians generally; his per
sonal endorsement by Congressman
Madden, Senator Ettelson and Repre
sentative Robert B. Jackson, and oth
ers, Mr. De Priest stands pre-eminently
beyond all others in meriting your
support at this time.
3. We submit that an aggressive
nTi of force and character is needed
in the Council Chamber as a race rep
resentative. No one can doubt Mr.
De Priest's- qualifications in this re
gard. Too, are perhaps alive to the
advantages of having such a person
as 'your Alderman, and can appreciate
of what servicehe can be.
TTader all the. circumstances, as out
lined, above and as may occur to right
thiakiBg rates, yon will do yourself
