solutely necessary.
Some evil minded individuals have
hurled 1t about that Mr.. Harding
would not rent any of his property to
respectable Afro-Americans:" that ru-
NOR or report is a barefaced false
hood and we know what we are talk
ing about when we make this asser-
ton, for at the present time Afro
Americans are residing In houses and
fats belonging to Mr.. Harding at 3144.

State street; IA 45th street, and At
torney William L. Martin occupies an
elegant suite of Offices in one of his
buildings at 155 Washington street. So
1t must be perfectly apparent to all
that Mr.. Harding is no respector OF
persons and that he does not draw
the color line when 1t comes to rent
ing his properties to first class Afro
Americans.
And as the Democratic organization
Of the End ward did not name a can
didate for Alderman, It is fair to as
sumo that the best and the leading
Democrats in that ward will throw
their support to Mr.. Harding. for he is
a strong advocate Of Municipal own
ership, and he is with Judge Dunno in
his fight for It and he will assist to up-
hold his hands in the City Council.

HARLAN WORRIED BY JUDGE
DUMMIES INTERVIEW ON THE
RACE QUESTION.

hSSG &S6o lONs
John NJ. Harlan is nightly disturb
ed about Judge Dunne's interview on
the Race Question" He has been
seeking by all the sophistry Of which
he is capable to take away from Judge
Dunno the credit due the latter for
his manly stand for the black man.
Why didn't he attack Roosevelt for do
ing just what Judge Dunno did? When
Judge Dunno gave out that interview
he was not a candidate for office. He
did not volunteer 1t. He was sought
out in the quiet and peace OF his home
by reporter for the Tribune who had
been sent out to get the opinions of
prominent citizens on the Race CUES
ton" He did not ask, as some did, to
be excused. He did not truckle to
the prejudice of the hour and give
the black man a kick because he hap
pens to be the under dog. Many of
those interviewed, at the time, did
this very thing. On the other hand
Judge Dunno was not afraid to stand
up in the forum of public opinion and
say, as Roosevelt said, "All men up,
not some men down" Judge Dunno
not only spoke words of hope to the
black man, but, in his dealings with
him, he has practiced what he preach
ed. Mr.. Harlan has been heard on all
sorts OF subjects. but nobody ever
heard him say aught Of good to the Ne
gro except about election time.
All that the most ardent Colored
supporter of Mr.. Harlan has said in
his favor is that he is the son of his
father. This is a poor argument
Abraham Lincoln was a great friend
of the black man, but what of his son
Bod. He is an aristocrat. So is John
NJ. Harlan. He was educated at
Princeton College. an institution from
which the Negro is barred. His so
cial environment has been such that
he could not be Il true friend to the
black man.
Above all things he halls from the

ers of this community to defeat De

wrong people behind him in his cam
paign. His manager is Harry G.. Sci

When Selfridge bought Schlesinger &
