Z First. Because he is not only capable,
honest and sincere, but he is fair with
the Colored people.
Second. Because he has always been
fair to ColOred men, regardless of their
party affiliations, giving due recognition
to Republicans and Democrats alike
without discrimination in pay, position
or conditions. He has permitted them
to take their places alongside of other
men if they merited it, and this is
all we ask of any man. We could not
ask more.
Third. Because after a careful in
vestigation and a fair and impartial
comparison of the various candidates
running for the said Office, we find that
the voters of Cook County have made
no attempt to eritieise his administrs-
ton or find any fault with him. We
have heard no evil reports coming from
the Colored people as to his unfair
ness in his court decisions relative to
their welfare, but he has been the 'Big
Brother" in a court Of justice to all
of the people, regardless of race, color
or previous conditions.
Fourth. He has been as kind and
eonsiderate and, in fact, is the first
County Judge who has given his Pers-
onal stewardship to the unfortunate of
ours as he has of other raees-the in
sane.
Fifth. He has given our women an
opportunity to exercise their right Of
franchise with the women of other
races. He has demanded the same re-
speet for them, in the polling places, as
he has demanded for others. And they
have been officially recognized by him
as he has officially recognized the wo-
men of other peoples. Can we forget
so soon these thingsi No, we can
not.
Sixth. He has now credited to his
personal appointments four Colored men
who are holding creditable positions
in the Election Commissioner Office
in the persons of Mr.. Robert Taylor,
Mr.. W. H. Clark, Col. John r. Marshall
and Mr.. L. W. Washington. The es-
TEEN in which he was and is now held
by Attorney Louis B. Anderson, who
praeticed four years at the bar Of his
court, cannot be gsinsaid.
Seventh. BY equaizing the resPon-
sibility of righteousness in civic affairs,
by purifying the electorate of Cook
County, giving protection to the ballot
of the rich and poor alike, we owe it
to our children to renominate and elect
him for another term at least. No
voter-honorable voter-will do less,
realizing, as we do, that good govern
ment is as good for the Colored man
as it is for the White man. Vote for
Judge Owens.
Eighth. In the appointment of Judges
and Clerks of Election he has not
neglected us, but has given US fair
The broad ax., 1914-08-29

Ninth. We should support him be-
cause our homes need his protection.
Our children are honored by the ex-
ample he has set before them in the
distribution of justice and fair play.
Tenth. By rescuing the defenselesS
and oppressed women Of our race he has
blessed the citizenship Of q people who
will not be ungrateful to him. II We
should Judge the future by the past,
John E. Owens is the man for the
people, and We are a part of the great
cosmopolitan multitude. So give him
every vote you can possibly muster in
the Primary, Wednesday, September 9th,
1914, and rally to his standard in the
November election.
