Alderman Taylor, is heartily in
favor of high pressure system of
water works, and he is ever willing

rebound to the best interest of all
the people residing in Chicago.
He is perfectly familiar with the
wants and needs of those residing in

nationality. Alderman Taylor resides

accessible alike to both the rich and
the poor. and as he has made an

1t Is the sacred duty of every Col
ored man in the Third ward to go to
his voting place on Tuesday morn
ing. April 4, and cast his vote against
Milton J. Foreman. thereby relegar-
ing our greatest enemy OF the ward
TO private life where he belongs. Mr.
Foreman. has said he cared nothing
for the Colored mans vote, and he
has showed that on more than one
occasion by trying to have the ward
so divided that all the Colored people
would be west of State Street, hut
failing in that. he finally succeeded in
having his precinct so divided that
all of the Colored voters with few
exceptions. was out of his aristocTatic
SILK STOCKING precinct. In vot-
ing again Mr.. Foreman, you are not
changing your political principals.
but on the contrary, you are eXerciS-
ing your suffrage against an enemy.
and that is what the ballot is for, and
in so doing. you are showing that
you. are possessed of MANLY
PRINCIPALS just as any other race
of people. II there was ever a time
when the Colored race ought to show
their political strength, their moral
standing and resentment of insults, it
is now. by casting their vote against
Alderman Foreman, the Colored
mans enemy. Mr.. Tearney. believes
in giving every man a square deal
irrespective of RACE COLOR OR
CREED. that means that the Colored
man will get the same consideration
that a white man gets. We must do
as the white man does in these con-
tests, show strength of character by
showing that we are courageous
enough to use the ballot in our own
defense by defeating all such men as
Aledman Foreman. Mr.. Tearney. has
in his employment fifteen Colored
men. and not one of them are hired
on account of his being a candidate
for Alderman, on the contrary. they |
are regulars. Mr.. Tearney has a
brother in Galveston, Texas. who is
Director of Manuel Training in the
Colored schools, and with Albert r.
Tearney in the city council the Col
ored people residing in the 3rd ward,
will have loyal friend at court.
