TENDED, THAT WITHIN THE PAST SIX OR SEVEN YEARS, THAT MAYOR
WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON AND HIS FOLLOWERS HAVE ASSISTED TO
ELECT DEMOCRATS TO OFFICES IN ORDER TO PREVENT TRUE BLUE OR
DYED IN THE WOOL REPUBLICANS FROM BEING ELECTED TO THOSE
SAME urf 1ULS.
HON: KICKHAM SCANLAN
Non-Partiam, or the People's todxdate for Re-elecbon to e Co
ant Court Bench. He Has Been Highly Endorsed by the Colored
Cook County Bar Association and His Thousands of Loyal
Friends in This City and County Are Working Very Hard for H
Re-election.
Hoq. .JCickbam Scanlan, -who has
always been a strong Republican like
his father before him who was one of
the founders of the Republican party
in the State of .Michigan many years
ago. was born in this great city Oc
tober 23, 1864. In his early child
hood days his parents removed with
him to Washington, D. C, where he
attended the public schools of Wash
ington. Later on followed by three
years' course at Notre Dame "Univer
sity, Indiana, and 'after emerging
trom that great educational institu
tion he-returned to Washington and
graduated with high honors from the
Washington high school followed by
special courses under a private tutor,
he returned back to thischy to reside
to the end of his days m 1882, and
he received his L. L. B. degrees-from
the Union College of Law and he was
admitted to the bar in 888. ""
Judge Scanlan was happily united
in marriage in 1890 to Miss Sadie
Conway, the highly accomplished
daughter of Hire Inspector Michael
W. "Conwayof this city, and Judge
and Mrs. Scanlan, who is a very lov
able lady; are the proud parents of
trrr. fc.ntifnl and hiehly cultured
daughters, Mrs. Naomi Nell and Miss
Miriam Scanlan. and for many years
Judge and Mrs. Scanlan and the other
members of their family have resided
in aovely home at 5541 Kenmore
avenue.
Before being elevated to the Cir
cuit Court bench in 1909, Judge Scan
lan -teas one of the most prominent
and distinguished members of the Chi
cago bar. For some time prior there
to he "was associated with Mills &
Ingham, which was one of the great
est law firms in this city. Judge scan
lan was identified with many famous
criminal cases, including the cele
brated William J McGarigle case, the
two Cronin trials, the Ohio tally sheet
fraud case at Columbus, Ohio, the
Millington poisoning case at Denver,
Colo., and after establishing personal
nrarticp. in 1893 he was employed in
many other prominent criminal cases
and for a. lon time he stood at tne
head of the -well-known law firm of
Scanlan & Masters and on Monday,
June 6, the voters residing in all parts
of this city and county wilf again
highly honor themselves by re-electing
Judge Scanlan to the circuit
bench of Cook county.
Monday evening one of the great
est political meetings ever held in
this city was on the billboards at the
Trinity M. E. church, 30th street and
Prairie avenue. Too much credit can
not be given to Mrs. Blanche Gilmer
for arranging the history making
meeting. Long before Hon. Medill
McCormick, the speaker of the eve
ning, had arrived the church -was
filled from end to end and several
hundred people were standing around
on the sidewalk, being unable to push
or force their way into the church.
Well on to three thousand people
were in evidence during the great
meeting.
Hon. Warren B. Douglas, with elo
quence bristling or foaming from his
mouth, ably presided over the won
derful meeting, and at the beginning
r-.t h mrettntr htt introduced Mr.
Thomas W. Allen. Mrs. Blanche Gil-
Imer and Hon. John C Cannon, who
av.--ta ctinrt timrlv talks and at
their conclusion Mr. Douglas intro
duced Col. Franklin A. Denison, who
in well chosen words spoke at con
siderable length, presenting Senator
McCormick to the big crowd of earn
est free men and women prcscm.
Col. Denison brought-down the house
and caused men and women to jump
to their feet and shout with joy when
he exclaimed that thej:olored people
in Chicago are not coward's, that one
million bombs will not frighten them
-. nv ttirm from their homes.
that they are willing to die fighting
tn nrotect their wives, their sweet
and lovely little children, other loved
ones and their homes.
In concluding his timely remarks
Col. Denison in" the most deliberate
manner said, "My friends, I now.
have the extreme pleasure of present
ing to you the best friend that the
late CoL Theodore Roosevelt ever
had in Illinois, your friend and my
friend, United States Senator Medill
McCormick." And then over two
thousand men and women sprang to
their feet and loudly applauded Sena
tor McCormick for fully five minutes.
Right from the very start he thun
dered forth against the hellish and
damnable peonage system which is
in vogue in some of the southern
states at the present time, which he
declared was a new horrible system
of slavery. He also cried out .aloud
against the inhuman treatment ac
corded the colored people in oi
parts of this country. He declared
that the colored people had always
proyed themselves to be loyal Ameri
can citizens and that they are justly
entitled to share a white man's
chance in the race of life.
Senator McCormick fully explained
his anti-Iynchinc bill, which is now
pending in the United States Senate.
"This bill seeks to create a com
mission to explore and study the
ways and means by which mob vio
lence can be ended," Senator MqCor
mick said the commission to be com
posed of an equal number of both
white and colored men and women.
"A printer's proof of Prof. William
E. B. DuBois' 'Soul of Black Folk
first stirred me when I, was merely
a boy, to the realization that there
was a great wrong in this country
which needed righting. The thought
has been with me all these years, but
the opportunity for me to start defi
nite action on the matter has never
come until the present time.
"I expect a long fight, but I am
going to see it through if it takes me
ten years or more. I find the elec
tion of President Harding proved an
unlooked-for help, as he is strongly
opposed to lynchings."
He related that lately he had dis
cussed many points in relation to his
anti-lynching bill with Col. Henry
Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, whom
he regarded as one of. the big law
yers in this country, with Prof. Wil
liam E. B. DuBois of New York city
and that recently he had gone on a
long" auto ride with James Weldon
Johnson, secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement of
colored people in order to discuss his
bill with him and that Hon. Julius
Rosenwald and many other promi
nent men in all parts of this country,
including President Harding, are
working hard to boost it through
both branches of congress. He earn
estly appealed to the colored people
of this city and throughout the state
of Illinois to stand by him in his
great fight for the right
Senator McCormick, in winding up
his great oration, suddenly paused for
a few moments and in thunderous
tones exclaimed, "I know that some
people have lied about me to you,
but -I always 'keep every promise I
make to everyone and those who
know me the best know that I am
. . . .. .. .
a inend ot an humanity wnicn in
cludes the colored race.
His last words were as follows:
"The black man is on trial now
in Illinois. The attempt to force on
him handpicked judges in the present
election furnishes him with an op
portunity to assert his political rights
by voting the coalition, non-partisan
ticket. And, the election of the coali
tion ticket judges will be a message
to the men in the south that a fight
is being waged for the black man's
freedom in the north."
Hon. Charles S. Deneen followed
Senator McCormick and was the last
speaker of the evening, and right
from the'very start the little fighting
former governor of Illinois went right
to the mat with Mayor William Hale
Thompson. Mr. Deneen contended
that in the past and even at the pres
ent time the present chief executive
of this city has joined hands with
the democrats in order to- defeat a
republican in their race for the vari
ous offices in this city and county;
that in 1917 Mayor Thompson sup
ported a non-partisan judicial ticket,
which included both democrats, and
republicans; that at tne fall election
of 1918 Mayor Thompson supported
eighteen democratic candidates for
the various important offices in this
city and county, as against eighteen
republicans, including Hon. James
Hamilton Lewis for the Lnited States
Senate; at the aldermanic election in
1920 Mayor Thompson's machine in
the Thirty-first ward supported Al
derman Moran, democrat, for re-election
to the city council as against a
republican: that at the fall election

Mayor Thompson supported a demo
crat for county recorder as against
Hon. Joseph F. Haas.
Mr. Deneen further contended that
at the spring election in 1921 that the
followers of Mayor Thompson in the
Second ward and in other wards in
this city supported Hon. Clayton F.
Smith, democrat, for city treasurer,
as against a republican, and that he
felt sure that his many colored friends
would not feel that he was urging
them to vote the democratic ticket
when he requested them to vote for
the candidates running on the non
partisan judicial ticket, Monday,
June 6.

Hon. Thomas G. Windes is so well
and favorably known to the electo

the many readers of this paper. .He
has, in the past, honorably served as
Master-in-Chancery of the Circuit
court of this county, from 1880 to
1892, at which time he was elected

loving and beautiful andMr. and
Mrs. Brccn reside in a lovely home
at 947 W. 54th place, and once each

In 1920. after a great fight with
the aid of this paper, Mr. Breen was
elected the Thompson Committee
man of the 30th Ward, and being
well grounded in the law, his legal
training pre-eminently fits him for

seeking and his hosts of steadfast
friends feel confident that on Monday,
