makes the machine almost resistless. Frankly, I do not believe in this talk of fatal breach between President Taft and Big Business. On both sides 1t looks like a calculated quarrel, a melodrama played for national en- tertainment. The need of such an affectation of battle Is too obvious Despite his earnest work, the peo- pie had no faith that President Taft would solve our vital problem and re- store the government to the custody of the people. A play was needed. It is being played.
 But there remains Wilson, whose nomination by the Democratic con- vention can only be prevented by in- sanity or perfidy-or both. OtLer candidates are able; they have sin cere advocates. But the Progressive Republicans-as well as the mass of Demoorats-want Wilson nominated; and it is the Progressive Republicans whose votes will decide the issue.
 If Taft shall be the Republican nom- inee, Progressives of his party would turn almost en masse to Wilson and Wilson is the only possible Dem- ocratic nominee to whom they would thus turn. They will not leave Taft in order to vote for any Democratic ally of the Interests. They will not desert their own party to chance any humiliating experiment with the oth- CT. They want to preserve their self respect and at the same time per. form high public service.

working about 30 people every week.

patronage of all. hardly uses Colored
acts. only one last week and the last
4 days of this week they play Brad

Grand should put a few ColOred acts
on every week. for it i a certainty
that although the owners are white,
they could not exist were IT not for
the Colored patrons and it behOoves
the Colored to see that their race
should get some recognition for the
support they are giving the Grand.

JACKSON GORDON FOR COUNTY
COMMISSIONER.

A large delegation of Colored and
white citizens called on Mr.. jackson
Gordon last Saturday evening and also
on Sunday and tried to persuade him
Ia become a candidate for the Office
of County Commissioner on the Re
publican ticket this fall. They offered
their united support in behalf of his
candidacy.
Mr.. Gordon told them that he was a
party man and could not say whether
or not he would be a candidate; that
he would require the party endorse
ment. The delegation of citizens is
going to wait upon the leaders of the
Republican Party and urge that Mr..
Gordon be endorsed as the party con
didate for County Commissioner, rep
dsenting the Colored people of Chi
eago.
The delegation was composed of rep
resentatives from the West, North and
South sides.
Several Of the leaders of the Repub-
liean Party have spoken very favor
ably of Mr.. Gordon, and his chances
seem bright.
The other Afro-Ameriean candidates
for County Commissioner are, DIR. Ed
ward S. Miller, Lawyer b. p. Moseley,
Rev. Jordan Chavis, Oscar De Priest,
and J. n. Simms, and may the best
man of the whole bunch win the nomi-
nation at the primaries.
