plains Just How the Ill
inois State Commission
Can Draw on the Second
$4,000 Recently APP
priated by the Legisla-
ture of Illinois


dred and fifty thousand dollars of the
peoples money to the Illinois State
Commission.
On or about April Is, 1915, the Hon.
Robert R. Jackson introduced a bill in
the Legislature asking for the second
twenty-five thousand dollars for the Il
linois State Commission, and as We had
stored away more than one thousand
copies Of this paper containing the two
reports and each week after he had in
trodueed his bill, all the members of
both branches of the Legislature re-
eeived free copies of The Broad Ak,
and on June 10, just before his bill
came forth from the committee on ap-
preparation, we happened to blow into
Springfield with copies Of the reports
in our pockets, and after doing con-
siderable talking with many members
of the Legislature, Major Jackson s
bill passed both the House and the Sen
ate with the following strings tied
tight to the money:

Mr.. John Lowe, Jr., $40 Lake Park

tion of Hannibal E. Washington, he
took him down in the city and made
him present of the best suit of clothes

appreciate and leads to much eneour-
agement and hard study. OF course
Hannibal expresses his thanks to the
donor.

So it would seem to a blind man up
a tree that after all "old Taylor" and
The Broad Ak are able to exert a lit
tie influence, even on the members of
the Legislature of Illinois.

a 4 4


speaking, on Tuesday, June II, 1913,
the writer more than cheerfully and
willingly made a trip to Springfield,
Illinois, at his own expense. in order
to appear before the committee on APP
preparations where we made a talk be-
fore it urging it to appropriate twenty
five thousand dollars to enable the Col
ored people residing in this State to
fttingly celebrate their fifty years of
freedom in 1915. At the same time we
warned the members of the committee
on appropriations that if they appro-
priated that sum of money for that pur-
pose that it would be up to them to
assist the good Governor Of this State,
the Hon. Edward F. Dunno, to select
the best Colored men, the best Colored
women, the best White men ana the
best White women, to assist to manage
the affair; that we would never be in
favor of permitting the worst or the
disinterested element in either the
White or the Colored race of grabbing
the money thus appropriated and blow
ing it in for nothing or using it for
their own personal gain.
The members of the committee on
appropriations utterly failed to heed
our warnings in that direction, for We
had informed them that unless the
best class of Colored men wers select
ed to have charge Of the celebration,
that we would fight those to the bit
ter end whose very presence is stencil
in the nostrils Of decent and respect
able people. So the members of that
committee washed their hands clean Of
the whole affair and turned it over to
the Hon. Edward F. Dunno to act in
that direction, and more than five hun
dred thousand people who have read
this paper during the past two years
know the result.
Those whom the Hon. Edward F.
Dunno finally selected to boss or run
the Illinois State Commission were all
loud in declaring that "old Taylor"
and his little "Nigger" newspaper
have no influence, for no one reads
nor pays any attention to its vapor-
ings at the mouth; so we laid real low
and kept on fighting just the same,
and the latter part of May, 1914, Con-
gresham Martin B. Madden intro
dueed a bill in the Lower House of
Congress, asking for one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for the head
chiefs of the Illinois State Com
mission. At that time we rushed to
Springfield, Illinois, and secured a re-
port Of the expenditures Of the Illinois
State Commission from State Auditor
James J. Brady, from July l, 1913, to
June i, 1914, and on June 6, 1914,
twenty-five hundred extra copies of
The Broad Az were printed containing
the report which were sent broadcast
throughout the State Of Illinois, espe-
eially to all Of its public officials, an
eluding the members Of the Legislature,
and marked copies were sent to each
member Of Congress and United States
Senators, and the up-shot was that Con-
gresham Madden's bin was killed as
dead as a door nail.
It win be recalled that the Rev. Hon.
Archibald James Carey, Pm. d. D. D.,
made a special trip to washington. d.
c., at the expense of the taxpayers and
delivered ONE of his spreadeaele speech.
