CONGRESSMAN MARTIN B.
MADDEN.

It should be to the best interest of
the majority of the Afro-Americans re-
siding in the LIST congressional district
to Loyalty stand by Congressman Martin
B. Madden, on the day of the election
and assist to return him to the halls of
congress, for at all times in season and
out of season he has in a manly way
stood by the Colored race.
Every time any member of that body
attempts to introduce any law or act
which has no other object than to strike
at the civil and the political rights of
the Negro, he has the courage to stand
up and fight against it to the bitter
end.
And for that md many other reasons
the Afro-Americans, residing in his dis
triet should rally to his support on
Tuesday, November 5.
