Committeeof AfrO-Amer-
lean Republicans Issue
Statement in Behalf of
William Hale Thompson,
Republican Candidate
for Mayor Of Chicago

our city by the success of the Dem
oerats, who have segregated Municipal
dances and attempted segregation in
our high schools.
SEVENTH: The Republican party
is the only party seeking your vote that
has nominated for the first time in Chi
eago's history a Colored man for Al
derman in the person of Oscar DePriest,
whose opponent is a Democrat.
EIGHTH: The Republican party is
the party that nominated and elected
two COlored men as members of the
present Legislature.
NINTH: The Democratic party in
Chicago has never nominated any Col
ored man for any Office, created by the
Constitution or Laws of the State of
Illinois.
Ponder well these facts and vote
your answer Tuesday, April 9Th. Do
not be misled by those who are the
paid hirelings of the Colored people s
greatest enemy, the Democrats, and who
are peddling and publishing their own
shame and weakness in pamphlets and
in the so-ealled "Chicago Summary" 1"
A vote for Thompson is a vote for
renewed hope in the Party Of Lincoln,
the Republican party; to wipe out seq
regation in our Nations Capitol and
thereby destroy the spirit that is fast
bringing it here.
A vote for Thompson next Tuesday,
means employment for the unemployed
by the release of capital held in hiding
ever since Democratic rule commenced
to wreck business and destroy invest
ments.
A vote for VIM. Hale Thompson
means the election of a mayor who will
give all our Republican aldermen and
especially our representative, Oscar De-
Priest, the consideration he and his
race deserve.
More we do not ask. Less we will
not accept.
Yours for a greater Chicago,

Never Really Grow Old.

The outside OF the man or the wom-
an waxes and wanes, but the Il myself
within me-" that something Of which
we are conscious, that spark Of the
infinite fame, seems as changeless as
etprnity. To himself and TO those who
know him very intimately and most
completely, the man is and seems just
as young and Just as old at twenty as
at fourscore. We were a family OF
seven children, Of the old New England
stock, and Puritan. We have all lived
to be several years beyond seventy.
We grew up together and have con-
tinued to dwell in our native land In
concord and harmony. Each has read
the others, as the saying is, like the
pages Of book. Changes have come
the usual changes. And these have
been many. But the dispositions, ten
dencies, tastes, preferences, loves,
hates and all the long catalogue Of per-
sonal qualities, have remained the
same, and seem bound 10 continue un-
changeable forever.-P. Deming In

times his charges met him with the

whom he approached felt compelled to
beat back his persuasions almost AZ
the point Of the bayonet, for nobody

The great preacher, Charles Spur
geon, repulsed him in an ascending
scale Of denial. The first reply ran:
'Tt viii only be a waste Of time for
You to see me, as am not at all In

The second said:
'Your good natured pertinacity Is 30

TO THE MEN AND WOMEN VOTERS
OF CHICAGO:

OF CHICAGO:
In every campaign so many reckless
unfounded and utterly false statements
are made concerning the various can
didates, by individuals whose motives
are mercenary, self-seeking or vicious
that it is it and proper that the calm
and sober reason of the people should
be appealed to in the light of the truth
Many such charges contained in eircu'
lars and newspaper articles are now be-
ing circulated against VIM. Hale Thomp-
son, the Republican nominee for mayor
In some cases the author is wholly IL
responsible and is under indictment
either for confidence game or some mis-
demeanor or is lately returned from
Canada, where he fed as a fugitive from
justice.
We appeal to every fair minded man
and woman to pay no heed to such ma
lieious statements unless the author is
one whose past life and reputation for
honesty, integrity and fair dealing is
a guarantee of the truth of the charges
We have lived in Chicago many
years; we have kept informed Of the
public acts and private records of those
who have appealed to the people fol-
support.
We believe that the Republican par.
ty and its nominee for mayor should
receive our earnest and undivided sup
port. Consider the following facts:
FIRST: The Democratic party has
done nothing for you, your country, oil
city that is worthy of retaining by your
vote, that party longer in power.
SECOND: The Republican party is
the only party that ever gave the Col
ored women of the city or country an
opportunity to be ladies and citizens.
THIRD: The Democratic party tried
by segregation rules and laws in cities
yes, even the Capital city of the Ma
tion, to humiliate and disparage and
belittle the womanhood and manhood
Of the Colored people.
FOURTH: The Democratic party
alone, whose National rules prohibit ad'
mission of Colored members, will be
benefited by the election of a Demo
cratic mayor on Tuesday next. .
FIFTH: The Republican party, the
advocate of freedom and equality, will
be benefited, strengthened and encour-
aged by the election of VIM. Hale
Thompson next Tuesday.

What Ia Truth

Everybody claims to want the truth
No man Is so base or so cowardly as to
want anything less. Pilates question
aWhat Is truth?" has never been fully
answered. Il is not fact, it Is not OBJ
jective intelligence, It Is not the evil
dence Of the senses. These are mere
phases or incidents Of truth. They
may all be false. Truth is not from the
outside. 1t is not material 1t is not
spiritual. 1t is the kindness Of deed
and the nobility oc an aspiration. This
Is the only truth in the world. 1t makes
no difference what the teacher, the
preacher, the editor, the lecturer says,
the only truth in the world is the act OF
the loving and beautiful soul The
Bible says, LAS a man thinketh In his
heart, so Is he" That is in his spirit,

constsntinopIs,s Great Church.

The mosque Of Sancta Sophia, Con-
stantinople, stands as the worlds
greatest monument Of Christian archi'
lecture. Professor Paparrigopoulos, the
Greek historian, whose estimate is re-
garded as the most careful ever made,
reckons the cost Of ground, material,
labor, ornaments and church utensils
at about S64.OO0.OO0. The common
estimate of the cost OF St Peters in
Rome was something less than s48,-
100000, says the Geographic .Maga-
zine. No other Christian church has
at all approached Sancta Sophia in the
variety and priceless value Of its mar
bles, in the prodigal employment Of
gold, silver and precious stones, and In
the number and value Of its sacred
vessels. The expenditure for Sancta
Sophia was doubtless greater than for
