REV. E. ]. FISHER THE ELOQUENT
PASTOR OF oLIVET BAPTIST
CHURCH AND REPUBLICAN,
CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF
THE LEGISLATURE OF ILLINOIS
FROM THE FIRST SENATORIAL
DISTRICT.
By L. W. Washington.
The Rev. E. ]. Fisher, D. D.,
LIZ D., who has startled the county
with the announcement of his eandi-
daey for the Legislature of the first
Senatorial district. If there is a place
for the man, then he is the man for the
place. He Will not make the race
solely as a Negro; but in that largest
sense, as an American citizen. If nomi-
mated, and to a very large degree, Of
this he feels assured he will represent
the whole Senatorial district, and give
to his constituents, every consideration
that an honest public servant ought
90 give to those whom he represents.
He did not enter the race, nor accept
the request to run, without giving the
matter serious study, and not then, IN
til severals committees, consisting Of
the most influential, White as well as
Colored friends Of the district, had
waited upon him, and urged upon him,
the wisdom of entering the race.
And why mott The last General As
sembly was graeed with the presence
of the Rev. DR.. +. E. J. Lloyd, and the
citizens had no serious reasons for
alarm, yet the very presence of this
good man, did much for the publication
Of that august body. So will the pres
enee of DR.. E. ]. Fisher, grace that au-
gust assembly.
DR.. Fisher is pastor of Olivet Baptist
Church, 9th and Dearborn street, an
institution worthy of the highest notice,
with a splendid service of systematic
operation, doing good to all who enter
her gates, or come to her doors for
suceor. 1t is the Home of helpfulness
to the unfortunate and many men, wo-
men and children have received eneour-
agement from the hands of this Chris
tian Minister of the Gospel.
A large number Of our young men who
The broad ax., 1914-07-04

are now in business, have not only re.
eeived good advice from him but bis
financial aid as WELL Being practical
and having the necessary qualification
having graduated from both the law
and the Theological schools fitting him
for such q place. His executive ability
can not be gain said, nor lightly at
tackled without the enemy realizing that
they have met a giant of intellectual
strength.
He of all others in the race, repre-.
senting the republican party, is worthy
because for SO years he has stood for
its principles, fought it's battles, helped
its sons to pre-eminenee, hOnOred its
daughters in their fight for political
freedom, gone at the request of the
bureaus, addressing audiences all over
this country; gave Of his means to help
the cause, without receiving a dollar
neither asking for a position, as a re
ward for such faithful service. And
now comes the party, and offers at least
its gratitude, by offering to give him
the nomination at their hands in Sep
TENDER. ''''i.
Do you think that such a man will
fail to represent you in the Legislative
halls of this our beloved state, l think
not.
DR.. Fisher is a lawyer as well as an
able minister of the Gospel: A fnaneisr
of no ordinary worth, a tax payer in
the State Of Illinois, a Christian gen
tleman of refinement and culture,
man with very large experience having
to deal with the needs of humanity for
years, his life has been, and is now
being spent in behalf of human welfare
He is the poor man 3 friend and the
rich mans advisor, a man of the Peo-
pie, truly representative character, one
worthy Of the highest commentator
what think you voter about such man
He is the Honored President OF the
State Convention of Illinois of the
western Baptist Convention. DR.. Z. J.
Fisher, who enters the race with malice
toward none, with charity for all, IS
asking you for your suffrage.

one hundred persons including eleven
pastors, responded to the invitation Of
the Club and from noon until eight
clock the guests were enjoying the
good things prepared for them. Dinner
was served at P. NJ. and Refreshments
throughout the day. The Club derived

the efficiency of its officers. The clean

or bIemish the garden work was first
class, every foot of ground twelve lots
being under cultivation growing peas,
beans, tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes and
in fact every thing in the vegetable
line, all the lettuce and radishes were
served from the garden. When the
visitors came to the chicken yard and
saw the brood of fancy fowls, little and
big. and eggs in the nest laid that day
in celebration of the Anniversary, they
were delighted sure enough. That
pleasure was enhanced when they saw
samples of eIothesIines, neck halters,
and other products in the rope making
line, made by the children of the school,
and learned that the work in this in
dustrial line was to be continued during
the vacation.
Exercises began at O'Clock, with
Mrs. Everidge the president of the Ideal

program by the club, interpreted with
singing by the children. was followed
by addresses by members of the club,
