TO the colOred voter his candidacy
appeals with great strength. ColOred
miners have always known him to
be pleasant and genial and easy of
approach and have found that in the
discharge OF his official duties he has
known neither color nor race. Very
recently. he convention Of the Hi
nois Federation Of Labor gave him IA
strong endorsement for the Office to
which he aspires. The colOred voters
Of the district can do no betl er than
TO rally TO his support.

Nepuoucdn Odnotodtc TOR ConQre SIS.
The candidacy Of Mr. w. D. Ryan,
international Secretary Treasurer of
the United Mine Workers of America,
for Representative in Congress, the
official announcement of which is
made TO The coOred voters Of the
district in another column Of this
issue, has been the cause OF much
favorable comment on the part Of
all republicans interested in the sue
cess of their party, but particularly
on the part of the union laborers
and colored citizens.
Mr. Ryan entered the coal mines Of
Rraidwood, HI, at the age of IA years
after having received Il Scant edu-
cation in the public schools From
that time until 1897 he carried his
shovel and pick and worked at the
face, learning the dangers Of the life
under ground and receiving from
constant association with his toiling
companions keen sympathy for the
Iaborer In 1897 he was elected to
the Office of secretary Treasurer Of
the United Mine Workers Of Illinois,
becoming one of the pioneer trades
unionistS Of the state The work of
building up the organization was be-
gun at once, and in conjunction with
John Mitchell and other labor leaders
who distinguished themselves in the
growth Of the great organization, he
worked increasingly TO the end that
the condition Of the miner and Of all
laboring men in general might be
bettered
That their labors have not been in
vain is evident. Duritg the time
that Mr. Ryan held Office under the
state miners, the organization grew
from mem bership of 500 to almost
10, 900 and the treasury. empty though
it was during the memorable strike
of lS97 now has almost Sl00000
Mr.. Ryan has at all times directed
the financial policy Of the Orgnniza-
tion and his work in this line is
particularly appreciated by t h G
miners
Mr.. Ryan removed to Springfield in
1890 and though he was recently
elected to the International Secre
taryship, with headquarters at In
dianap0ls, he will maintain his resi-
dence in this city.
Anyone well acquainted with Mr.
Ryan will admit his peculiar fitness
for the Office lie seeks. His long con
necti0n with the miners organiZa
ti0n has made him one of the best
known and most popular men in the
state. His identification with prac
tically all the labor legislation of the
past ten year; and his remarkable
insight into the affairs and condi
tions of the labOring classes, as wei
as his prominent and favorable &C
qualntance with the business meT
III the district, are Il certain indIca
ton Of the services he would be ABLE
10 render TO his constituents as
member of the Lower House of Con
greSs.

ominal business. 1t is a cheering
conglomeration OF gaiety girls, fun
and music, although it contains an
original score Of twenty numbers
and borders on light opera, never.
theless II admits Of many high clsSs
and costly specialties, and is pre-
scented by an organization Of 40
people. This comedy lays hut lit
tie claim to plot and is presented
for the sole purpose of introducing
laughter and beauty and song, Tor
railing all the refreshing elements
of gorgeous scenery, brilliant cos
tunes, jolly nonsense, enhancing
music, clever comedians, fascinating
prima donnss, bewitching soubrettes
and clever and dashing chorus Of
youthful forms with beautiful faces
and sparkling eyes. Miss Ruth
Bernstein, handsome and bewitch-
ing little lady, has been engaged
for her talents to play the principal
girl part, and from past reports she
is one Of the delightful features Of
the performance. From all the
accounts the public may
Justly expect performance Of I'M
