HYDE PAEK NEWS.
By L. W. Washington.
Mrs. Carrie Austin formerly of Hyde
Park who lived at 3350 Vernon Ave.,
died on the first part of last week af
ter a lingering illness. Mrs. Austin
leaves a husband and five children to
mourn her death. The Kev. John
Bobinson of St. Mark's M. E. Church
preached the funeral sermon. She was
interred at Oakwood. The Sth grade
class of Kenwood sent a large Bou
quet in sympathy of the bereavement
of Louis Nathanial, one of their class
who attended Kenwood school.
Miss Birdie Williams gave a recep
tion in honor of her nephew's birth
day. A number of invited guests were
present.
Mrs. Merriman of 5210 Lake Park
Ave., is very low at this writing.
The stork visited Mrs. Hunt of 552G
Engleside Ave., Monday morning.
Both mother and son are doing fine.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mauney have
moved from 5218 Lake Park Ave., to
Evans Ave.
Mr. Clifford Raymore we learn is on
the Bick list. We wish for him a
speedy recovery.
It seems as if quite a number of
political mendicants think and feel
that they can with impunity insult the
wives and children whenever they feel
like it, but there are others who do not
agree with them politically. The same
fellows are political slaves, who can't
think for themselves, neither can they
produce an independent thought, of
any value, neither can they conceive
any proposition of merit, yet you will
find these political trixter becoming
private carriers or messengers of their
meanness in the homes and families
of their neighbors. Just to be a good
fellow with the Boss they go so far
as to try and keep a man from making
a decent living.
Many of the wise politicians who
claim that they are able to see things
in the very darkest hours of the night,
are willing to admit that "Big Bill,"
Mayor William Hale Thompson, com
pletely fell down on Tuesday, receiv
ing some mighty hard jolts m the final
wind up in the aldermanic contest or
election that he absolutely loBt four
wards which he was banking on car
rying, thereby depriving or knocking
him out of four aldermen whose aid
and votes he greatly needed in the
City Council.
As the late hot aldermanic fight or
contest has now passed into history
and all that has been said and done
cannot be undone, so let us all fondly
hope that the old and the new mem
bers of the City Council and Mayor
Thompson will all solidly unite or
stand together and work for the best
interest of all the people residing in
Chicago.
As it was predicted in the last is
sue of this paper that Aldermen Hugh
Norris, Joseph Higgins Smith, William
J. Healy, John A. Eichert, William E.
O'Toole, John Toman and Thomas A.
Doyle would be re-elected to.the City
Council from their respective Wards,
Alderman Henry P. Bergen being the
onlv candidate supported by this pa
per who, much to the regret of his
many friends, fell by the wayside, he
beinc succeeded in the City Council
by Robert R. Pegram, Republican, who
is a first-class business man, who con-

CoL or Lawyer William G. Anderson,
owing to the fact that he wa3 loaded
down with so many dead Jonahs, that
he only received five hundred and thir
ty-five votes in his race for alderman
of the Second Ward.
Everything seems to clearly indicate,
since the smoke of the battle from
the aldermanic election has cleared
away that the Hons. Charles S. Deneen
and Roy 0. West have got Mayor Wil
liam Hale Thompson on the dead run
and thaj they will -be able to slip one
over on him at the state wide presi
dential primary contest, Tuesday, April
11th: that Mr. West will successfully
ride right straight over His Honor, the
Mayor, in their hand-to-hand fight for
National Committeeman of Illinois.
Lawyer Augustus L. Williams and
his many strong friends and supporters
are still strongly of the opinion that
he has more than a fighting chance of
being chosen one of the delegates,
Tuesday, April 11th, to the Republican
National Convention from the First
Congressional District of Illinois.
It would not be the least bit sur
prising to those who pretend to be fa
miliar with National politics from the
Grand Old Party point of view, to see
Col. Theodore Roosevelt mounted on
his famous white horse, ride rough shod
through the Republican National Con
vention and be nominated to make the
race for President of the United States.

HON. WILLIAM H. WEBEE
Member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County; one of the high priesta
of the Republican party and candidate for delegate to the Bepublican
National Convention from the Third Congressional District of Illinois.
MISS MAEION H. DEAKE, PEO-
GEESSIVE CANDIDATE FOE COM
MITTEEMAN OF THE FIEST
WAED.
HON. OSOAB TTRBTrTi
Popular North Bida German-American citizen, ex-member of the Board of A
MMors of Ooofc County, candidate for re-election as Ward Committeeman
of tie 21st Ward, "Who may fc wlected later on to make the race tot
State's Attorney on the Sepuhlican ticket.
Miss Marion H. Drake is a candi
date for Progressive Ward Committee
man in the First Ward. She is op
posed by a man who claims to be a
Progressive, but he apparently does
not believe in one of the big planks
of the Progressive party, namely,
Woman Suffrage, for when he filed his
petition he at once went to the Elec
tion Commissioners and asked them to
knock out Miss Drake's petition on
the ground that she was a woman and
as she could not vote for Ward Com
mitteeman she could not be a candi
date. Mr. Colin C. H. Fyffe, attorney
for the Election Commissioners, ad
vised the board that the position of
Miss Drake's opponent was incorrect.
Miss Drake argued before the Board
that women could hold offices which
they could not vote for, and cited
many instances where such public of
ficers had been upheld by strong le
gal opinions.
Miss Drake will be remembered in
the First Ward as the woman who so
bravely ran for Alderman two years
ago. She has been Progressive Ward
Committeeman for the past two years,
and during that time has kept the Pro
gressive Party in the First Ward from
making entangling alliances with the
Democrats. Can the same be said of
the Bepublican Ward Committeeman t
Miss Drake is also a candidate for
Delegate to the Progressive National
Convention, to be held in Chicago in
June. This Convention is to be bigger
than is generally known. The Pro
gressive Party is very strong in many
states of the Union and will have a
full delegation when the Convention
meets in the Auditorium. Seven floors
of the LaSalle Hotel, various floors
of other big hotels, quarters in the
Blackstoae, the Bed Boom of the La
Belle, the Floreatiae Boom at the Con
gress, and committee rooms in all the
big hotels have been engaged. It
looks to Miss Drake as if the Repub
licans will have to come to the Pro
gressives to get a Presidential Candi
date if they want. a winner. She es
pecially hopes that all Progressives of
the First Ward and First District will
recognize that they are to have a pow
erful voice, both independently and as
Progressive - Republicans, this great
Presidential year and get on the win
ning side.
Don't forget to go to the polls next
Tuesday, April 11, 1916, and vote for
Marion H. Drake!
THE ALPHA SUFFRAGE CLUB.
Owing to mixing of. dates, Mrs.
George W. Plummer was unable to be
present as guest of honor at the club
last meeting. A large number were
present and heard reports on the elec
tion, and the Wendell Phillips School
agitation, and passed resolutions de
ploring the undignified attacks made
against the president of the Alpha Suf
frage Club without an effort having
been made to reach an understanding.
Mrs. Barnett stoutly denied that she
was endeavoring to establish segrega
tion in the effort to have the Colored
children discuss conditions affecting
their welfare.
The Alpha Suffrage Club continues
to hold meetings eVery Wednesday
evening at 3005 State St., to which all
women are invited in the effort to de
velop civic welfare.
Ida B. Wells Barnett, President.
THE NEGEO FELLOWSHIP
LEAGUE.
The Negro Fellowship League will
hold a students' conference Sunday,
April 9, at the Reading Room, 3005
State St., at 4:00 P. M. All interested
in the conference are invited to be
present.
Last Sunday members and friends of
the League heard Mr. George H. Jack
son's address on his candidacy as "Ward
Committeeman. Reports were also
made and correspondence with Judge
Dudley of Des Moines, Iowa, who sen
tenced Herbert Eaves to the State Re
form School because of his refusal to
salute the flair, was read. After dis
cussing the omission in the press and
despatches from Mexico of any men
tion of the Tenth Cavalry, a motion
was carried that the president write a
letter of protest to the daily papers.
John E. Hughes, Secretary.
