The Colored people do not
propose to be fooled by the

Deneen made a good governor,
but he and his faction totally,
or mostly, ignored the Colored
people of this county. So bear
that in mind and, Cassins, be
not again deceived by the siren

euphonious to the ear periodi-

1t is now clearly evident that
the Democratic candidate for
mayor of Chicago is not to
make the tight for election on
his merits, but on the Lorimer
issue, dragging in Lorimer. He
is NOT a candidate against Lor-
inner, but William Hale Thomp-
son. This reminds one of all
Southern candidates, who boast
that they have eliminated the
Colored man from politics, bnt
each of whom, against t h e
other makes the Negro the is
sue, how preposterous. Varda-
man made his senatorial cam
paign on the trace question"
and the Negro was not taking
any part for or against him
and he, Vardamon, had no op-
ponent after being nominated.

There are 4 commissioners to
be elected and one mayor, to
serve as the business managers
of the city for the next 4 years.
After thoroughly considering
all angles of the political situa-
ton in this city and from a
colored mans view point we have
reached the conclusion that we
can honestly and conscientious
ly, endorse and support, as 8
of the 4, Mr. Reece, Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Edmands. Through
these men and their friends and
supporters, the colored people
for the past II years, to our
knowledge, have received more
and better recognition along all
lines political and it will be sui
eide to not stick with our best
friends and those who will give
us a fair chance in the run for
life. We have no fight against
any other candidates, what we
say here can be proven and
will be shown again if the op-
portunity presents itself.

by the sermons of his pastor, had failed

ATLANTA, Ga, August 26.-The call

and possible for a week or two.
Governor Harris was sick yesterday
and remained away from the capitol
at the advice of his physicians but this
was not the real cause for postponing
the call. The real reason, it is au-
thoritatively stated, is that the gov
ernor is thinking seriously of the cot,

seriousness justities it in his opinion,
include a consideration of the cotton
situation in his special call.
So far as has been learned he has
not yet made up his mind as to
whether he will include prohibition or
not. Certainly he has given no init
