The majority of the people through
out the state of Illinois will greatly
honor themselves if they decide on pri-
mary day, Wednesday, September 18th,
to record their votes in favor of the
nomination of Hon. Julius johnson of
Moline, ILL.,, for Auditor of Public Ac-
counts, for in all honesty it can be
truthfully said that in every way that
he is well qualified to discharge all the
duties in connection with that respons-
ible and very important Office, that at
no stage of the game would he make
football out of it nor transform it into
a political brokerage Office and permit
it to become the hanging out place for
all the down and out politicians in

HilIburn, n. Y, August, 10, 1916.
Fellow Comrades and Fellow Citizens
of Color:
By the authority vested in me as
president of the National Equal
Rights League I hereby issue this pre-
liminary call for the ninth annual con-
vention of said league.
The matter of the exact date and
place for the convention is not yet
quite settled, but it is very timely and
proper that there be no further delay
in inviting public attention to the fact
that such a convention is to be held,
and within the next sixty days.
National Race Congress.
1t has been wisely suggested in view
of existing unfavorable social, civic
and political conditions confronting US
as a people, that the National Equal
Rights League invite and urge all of
our people, in all sections of the cOun-
try, to unite in a great "National Con-
gress of Colored Americans" and for
the special purpose of voicing the feel
ings and opinions of the race on those
unfavorable conditions now surround
ing us in this country; and also to de-
eide upon the wisest and best methods
for combating color segregation and
all other forms of color discrimination,
Extraordinary Wrongs Suffered.
After fifty years of so-called free
dom in this country, what is the pre-
vailing condition of our Colored-
American populations Briefly stated
it is this: Our civil rights have been
rendered almost futile; we are
shamefully curtailed politically; we
are denied equality before the law;
we are not allowed equal industrial OPP
portunities; our property and our very
lives are not at all secure; and "the
black horrors of lynching" innocent
Colored Americans continue undated.
While our Federal Government IS indif-
ference towards all these injustices is
but little less than the notification of
our great war amendments. Through
out the southland, and to more or less
extent in the north, the increasing mil
lions of our fellow Colored Americans
are being more and more reduced to the
pitiable condition of political serfs and
social outcasts.
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1916-08-12
Can We Be Unmoved?


If such conditions do not stir our
souls and our blood, what under heaven
can do itG Do not the industrial OPP
portunities denied Us, the freedom of
speech and of the press not allowed, the
civic and political rights taken from
US, and the insecurity of property and
life that surrounds US, give sufficient
ground and reason for the calling of
such a National Congress of Colored
Americans as is herein suggested
"In this fierce era of controversy and
bloodshed,' can we be unmoved
While the whole world is wide awake
socially and politically, shall we sleep'
While all other classes and races are
on the verge of social and political rev.
olutions, shall we be Indifferent Since
all other groups of oppressed people are
in the stir and rush of agitation, is it
not high time that we should at least
begin to get on the moveG
The south is still in the saddle at
our national capital, rushing headlong
with a most reckless disregard for the
feelings and rights of ten millions of
loyal, but oppressed Colored Americans,
Fling Our Standard.
Therefore, let US get together in a
great national congress, and fling to
the whole wide world the full story of
our grievances and of our earnest de-
mands for justice and fair play.
Get Ready.
Let all our religious, educational, So
cial and political leaders among us
heed this call. Let all of our great re-
Iligious organizations and lodges and
benevolent societies begin now to
plan to be represented in this
proposed congress. By so doing we
cannot fail to produce a powerful eff
feet on the public mind that will great
ly help us in our struggle for justice
and freedom.
This congress will be Independent
and wider than any present organiza-
ton. Its deliberations will not be I'M
der the Equal Rights League, which
will meet in conjunction.
Faithfully yours,
BYRON GUNNER,
President of the National Equal
Rights League.

HOT WEATHER DoNT's FOR THE
BABY.

Don't forget that you were once a
baby yourself.
Don't forget that you squalled some,
too.
Don't forget that that's the way you
got what you wanted.
Don't forget that you had to take
what they chose to give you; and be
thankful that You were not given I'M
clean milk and a lot of other things
that kill babies.
Don't forget that out of every 100
babies dying in Chicago under two
years of age, 81 of those deaths are
due to disorders of the digestive or
gans Improper food).
Don't forget that heat largely in
creases these deaths.
Don't forget that infants suffer
greatly during the hot waves of July
and August.
Don't forget that ice is salvation to
babies.
Don't overlook prickly heat as tor
ture for the baby and insomnia for
everybody, Don't forget that priekly
heat means hot weather, needlessly
heavy clothing and neglected baths.
Don't forget that bald headed man
can swat the fly that frets him; but
baby has to let it walk, tickle, irritate
and bite, as only flies can.

ure of the Business League meeting
will surpass anything of its character
the race has ever had,' said Fortune
J. Weaver, President of the Local Ne
