SENATOR w. e. MASON
Of Illinois. Who, Is q Candidate for
Reelection to the U. S. Senate,
and a prominent figure In
That Body.

Senator w. E. Mason Of Illinois is
one of the most prominent men in the
upper chamber. He is pointed out 10
NOR, strang re, he Sena thar.anV
OtneT mah Al mat body. He is know a
as every bodys friend, and il matters
not how humble yoH may be, Senator
Mason will hnd time to see YOU. and
If YOU happen to be from Illinois MS
much better. He will cut short a
speech 10 see you, il you are from his
state. Ii is the remark of every one
that Is fortunate to meet him TO say that
he IS OF the plain people. He is rightly
called the CommOnsr from the West.
l he state OF Illinois has been blest in
he last sixteca years to have at
the National apital tive such able
men as Senator Mason and SenEtor
Cullom TO represent her in the highest
legislative BODY in the world. From
the time that Senator Mason entered
that body to the present, he has taken
an advanced position upon all the
important measures that have come
before that body, pTotestionist of the
old school, he has throWned himself in
the great arena Of the fight for what he
deemed for the best interest of the
country. A matchlsss debator, and one
that few men in the Senate care to
cross swords with. Sound upon ali the
measures pending before that BODY
that seem best for the country.
President Roosevelt has not = warm
eT or more sincere friend in the Sen
ale than Senator Mason. His friends
are not confined to any particular race,
but II includes all the people that max {
up the great state of Ill noiS. The
labor element will not find a truer
friend IN the Senate, in the next gen
Grafton than Senator Mason. A great
adyoCater Of obitTation, makes him a
auCh sought man among the lead
ers of the labor element and they can
always depend upon him for what
ever assistance and advice he can
render. You always know where 10
find him, he is q man that does not
carry water on both shoulders at the
same time, and pretend that he will
not spill any from either pail. II is an
every day occuTance to see Senator
Mason guiding a crowd of friends
around the city showing them the
many sights Of interest that is to be
seen IN this city, the capitol city.
Like the great Lincoln. he is friend
OF the black man and is willing to do
anything that will advance the moral
and metsTial interest Of the race. II
is hoped that Senator Mason will be
reluTnsd;to the U. S. Senate, where
the great state of Illinois and the peO
pie generally can have the assistance
his legislative experience, gained
only by hard and faithful service in
the interest of a people that he has
labored so hard TO please. Ii is be
ieved that when his stewardship is
rendered and his many virtures and
deeds are weighted in the balances
the people Of the state OF Illinois will
say like Lincoln it is bad policy to
swap horses while crossing the stream.

cal superiority of the negro in a few
years. This view, so it is said in the

ing the situation. About all the in
formation coming from them now is
the brief announcement by National
Committeeman Lewis Clarke that he
has landed fifteen more poStmasterS
in the last few days. But when asked
about the naval Office fight Mr.. Clarke
declined to be interviewed.
At the Custom House it was said
the petitions for tDe appointment of .
negro to the naval office are still pour
iOg into the President from all over
the South. Twenty thou sand copies
of the petition were placed in circula.
latiOn, and about half OF them, soil is
asserted, have heen sent to Washing
ton. The petitions were circulated n
the country as we'll as in town. In aG-
dltIoh to the petitions, prominent ne
gTOeS all over the South have appeal
ed to the President not to take away
troG them the patronage they now
enjoy and they declare that the pres
ent effort to reorganize the Repubi-
can party in this section is prompted
more by selfish interest than any 9th
er motive. The negro bases hi
claim TO patronage on the fact that the
race has been republican since its
emancipation. and has plenty men
qualified To flI the offices they seek
and points 10 a number Of offices, such
as that as the Recorder of Deeds in
the District Of Columbia, which have
been considered as the political prop
cry OF the negro, even by Mr.. CleVe-
lar d, who appointed one of their race
ts succeed Fred Douglass.
IIwas said week ago that the ma

members of both factions have a feel

That is why, perhaps, such hard work
is being done lust now. OF course
both sides claim the victory, just as
every machine does until all the re-
turns are in and the result beyond

and the state Of terror once experienced
in LeaVenWOrth is now only a MEM
ory of the past.
That is n deliberate statement that
the "ChroniCIe" favors violence, that
il is ready TO defend those who violate
the laws of the State ard country, that
IL stands for murder in its most hOrTi-
bic and savage form, and that all the
while it continues its pretense of good
citizenship and humanity. Its asser-
tion that rape has not existed may be
true, but il is also a fact that for years
before that single Oul break it did not
exist, Alexander was the sole ex-
pOnent.
But this single item, much as it shows
is o the only evidence of the tact that
the ..Chronicie' is the organ of beings
who mentally crawl on all tours. In
the same issue 1t says:
"a man who was p4roled from the
penitentaTy commiussd suicide the
other day, and yet some people doubt
if the parole system is productive OF
any good. The man would never have
found the opportunity TO kill himself
in the penitentiary.
There is here evidence CT a thirst
!or blood, and an evidence that the
persons who read the paper also have
the same depraved taste. The "CToni
Gle" condones burning at the stake,
and it also Jess lightly over the uniort
innate victim who took his owH life.
1t even goes farther, and insinuatrs
that prisoners be given an opportunity
TO kill themselves.
1t is mol very often that such a raw
witness as the Chronicle" comes on
the stand Ordinary murderous IN
s;inCts are hidden by cunning display
Of rhetoric, or by little Juggling back
ward and forward OF words, The
papers which applaud the shooting
down of strikers, which assist in the
starving Of Workingmen and won en-,
and which always have ready an sx
cuse for capitalistic barbarities are Ia
the same class as this particular paper.
They show that capitalism and It's ex
ponents are ever ready to throw aside
all laws and that the only thing which
the capitalist at all regards is the
carving out of his own evil and COW
Wardly designs.

The lyncning and burning of negro

was one of the most horribly atrociOus
