JUDICIAL ELECTION.

The election next Tuesday, November
6, is an important one, and there are
several good men seeking election that
are worthy and fitted to wear the judi
eial ermine. Among them are Judge
Albert C. Barnes, Judge Charles NJ.
Foen, Attorney Antoine Zeman, Sey-
mour Stedman, Leopold Saltiel and
others. These men should be by all
means elected, and any others upon the
ticket possessing the same degree OF
judicial temperament, and there are
others that the writer is not as well
acquainted with as he is those men
toned, and a study of them for the past
twenty years enables the writer to
recommend them to the voters in Tues
days election. Politics should not cut
any figure in the present election. 1t is
for judges who should be free from
political bias or faint and who will
recognize individual rights as defined
by the law and render to litigants
alike, that which the law aceords them,
regardless Of ereeds, nationality or reli-
gion. Judge Barnes and the others men
toned can be relied upon to do this.

compared to the fight that the friends of
George w. Dixon, late Senator of the
First District and present secretary of
the Arthur Dixon Transfer Company,
purposes to make for him to secure the
Primary nomination for Congress over
Martin B. Madden. His friends argue
that Madden has been in long enough;
that he has become a fixture, somewhat
ornamental, but absolutely useless; that
he has not been heard to say a word
concerning the riots at East st. Louis,
Houston, Tex, or that in which the
Fifteenth New York, a Colored regi-
ment, recently encountered at the hands
of the Alabama White soldiers, who
threatened TO run them from camp; that
he has been rather silent at time when
his constituents and their group of pee
pie needed not only the voice, but the
active cooperation of a real friend at
Washington They argue that any man
who has been instrumental in bringing
the present plight Of the country about
should at least be given time to stay at
home and reflect, and that Dixon,
whose record and family history is well
known and who has youth on his side,
and who is a fighter for right, shall be

POLITICS.

Our letter of last week seems to have
interested quite a few people, not be-
cause there was anything new in it, but
because we had come dangerously near
telling the truth about some people and
some things.
Nv letter last week contained the
names of no one except the aspirants for
Alderman and the candidates for United
States Senator. shall discuss later the
effect the Aldermanic election will have
upon the Constitutional Convention,
which was authorized by the last Legis-
lature, and endeavor to point out the
possible dangers there may be lurking
in any program that means the election
of those to the Constitutional Conven-
tion opposed to the rights Of the Negro
as now guaranteed by the Constitution
of this State.
1t has been argued by a number of
good race men that no better Constitu-
ton in any of the States exists than
that of Illinois, where the rights of the
Negro are safeguarded to a greater ex-
tent than any other Constitution in the
country, and that any effort to change
the Constitution was q blow at the
Negro. This may or may not be true,
but it is evident that the present Con-
stitution is good enough for us, and it
would be wise for the voter to ascertain
whether he wishes to take a chance
upon an uncertainty for a certainty,
and to ascertain whether the Alder
manic situation is not being used to aid
those favoring Constitutional Conven-
ton.
