MOVE FOR PEACE

Rome, Sept. 1S.--An official denial
from Vienna that any initiative toward
peace has been taken by Austria is
causing much comment here, because
it contains no assurance that peace
would be concluded together with Ger

HON. GEORGE T. HARDING

Alderman George F. Harding, Repub-

the first senatorial district who is high
ly recommended for that position of
honor and trust by the Legislative
Voters League and by the United So
eieties, was after a bitter fight first
elected to the city council from the old
second ward in 1905, at that time The
Broad Az was the only newspaper on
the South Side to support him in his
rough and tumble contest and from 1905,
down to the present time he has been
one Of the most valuable and hard work
ing members of the city council and has
always served with much credit to him

on many of its most important COM

HON. WILLIAM h. WEBER
Republican Candidate for Member Of
the Board Of Assessors.

Hon. William H. Weber, one of the
Republican members Of the Board of
Assessors, has honestly and faithfully
served the small as well as the larger
taxpayers in that capacity for the past
sixteen years. He is again a candidate
for reelection to his present position.
Mr.. Weber resides at Blue Island, and
he represents the people residing in the
country towns and in other districts
throughout the county on that board,
but being perfectly familiar with all the
details in connection with the Office
which he holds he is just as much value
and assistance to those residing within
the confines of Chicago as he is to those
living outside of the city.
AS stated before, he has been a mem
Der of the Board of Assessors foF the
past sixteen years and no suspicion Of
scandal or wrong doing on his part has
been charged up to him. At all times
he is ever ready to patiently listen to the
complaints Of those who are under the
impression that their taxes are too high
and it is always a pleasure to him to
endeavor to tighten their burdens in
this respect.
Mr.. Weber has always proven himself
to be q true friend to decent and re-
spectacle COlOred people. The second
or third year after he became q member
of the Board Of Assessors he erected a
monument TO the memory of one of the
Colored men who had been employed in
that Office paying all Of the expenses
for it himself.
He was greatly effected when his good
friend, jackson Gordon, passed away in
the spring Of 1912, whom he liked as
well as his own brother and it has been
his intention all along to erect q monu-
ment to his memory. All women re-
siding in the country districts can re-
cord their votes in favor Of his re-
election.
Since October l, 1899, down to the
present time Mr.. Weber has been a
constant subscriber to The Broad Az
and no one would be more pleased than
the writer to see him win out at the
polls Tuesday, NoVember 3.

throughout this city.
He is a true blue Chicagoan for he
was born in this city at his beautiful
home, 1886 Indiana Ave, where he has
resided until this day.
Alderman Harding never conducts
himself in a staggering manner for at
all times he will bestow the proper
amount of consideration upon all those
who approach him and it makes not
the slightest difference to him whether
they are Of high or low degree, rich or
poor, White or Black, and that is one
reason why he is so extremely popular
with all classes of his fellow citizens.
He is a graduate of Harvard College,
also of the Phillips Exter of New
Hampshire and that fact alone largely
accounts for his splendid intellectual
attachments.
In conclusion there is not the slightest
doubt or question about his election to
the State Senate on Tuesday, November
3, from the first Senatorial District of
Illinois.

the State Senate from the nth Sena-'

Hon. Edward J. Glaekin, who is one
Of the big leaders Of the Democratic
party on the west side, was for the
first time elected to the lower house Of
the Illinois Legislature in 1904, where
he made a splendid record, in fact, it
was so good that in 1906 the people
residing in the 18th Senatorial dis
triet elected him to the State Senate,
re-eleeting him again in 1910, first saw
the light of day in Canada and when he
was nothing but a very small boy his
parents moved with him to this city,
to reside where he received his early
education in its public schools aside
from receiving academic instructions or
training.
For many years Mr.. Glaekin has been
more than successfully engaged in the
manufacture of ventilators. He is also
secretary of the Board Of Local I'm
provement and he transaets all business
pertaining to the city and his own
affairs to the queens taste.
He is a prominent member of the
Knights of Pythias, the Knights of
Columbus; he is happily married and
resides with his lovely and interesting
family at 745 Lytle Street.
In all the former sessions of the Hi
nois Legislature Senator Glaekin always
loudly recorded no against the enact |
ment Of all "Jim Crow" Legislation,
which had no other object in view but
to degrade and humiliate all the Colored !
people residing in this state, and he is
deserving Of the highest praise from all
Afro-Amerieans for boldly standing up
for right and justice in that direction.
Each and every ColOred voter resid-
ing in the 18th Senatorial District should
on Tuesday, November 3rd, cheerfully
assist to return him to the State Senate
at Springfield.

dealt Sam three jabs at the opening of
the third session. LAngford, like an
Infatuated beast, tore in at the ex-tar
and ripped in rights and lefts to the
body. This sort of work continued un-
til the right cross reached Smiths jaw,
as a result of which he went to the
floor with that careless abandon which
denotes that a man doesn't care for the
task that eonfronts him. Wisely or IN
wisely, Smith took the count and the
spectators marched out of the arena de-
elaring they we're stung.
LangfOrd had his revenge, and he
certainly evened scores for the failure
of the Smith contingent to keep its
