25th Regiments.
In 1866 Congress passed law that
Colored regiments should be q part Of
the regular army. The 9th and 10th
cavalry ad the 3sth, 39th, 10th and
4lst regiments Of infantry were organ
lied March 3, 1859, q consolidation act
was passed and the 3sth and 41st were
recognized as the Gath regiments Of in
fantry; the 3sth and 4Oth were reorgan-
lied as the 25th regiment Of infantry.
The 9th and 10th cavalry won the repu-
tation of being among the best Indian
fighters on the frontier. At the outbreak
of the Spanish war, in 1898, the four
Colored regiments were among the first
troops ordered to the front, and they
won distinction. At the first battle in
Cuba, the 10th cavalry played an i'm

Congressman Mason, in his running
tilt in Congress with Congressman
Thomas ]. Helm, of Alabama, in April
and May, attracted wide attention and
Congressman Mason branded him as a
"gun-toter, 4" for it will be recalled that
in 1908 that Congressman Helhin, in
order to show his superiority over the
Colored people, shot law abiding Col
ored man, who was riding in a street
car in Washington, D. c., just because
he failed to surrender his seat and duck
for his life when the rattle Drained
southern congressman entered the car,
who also shot white man while he was
endeavoring to murder the Negro.
Congressman Helm was indicted for
his bulldozing conduct and the charges
or cases against him were continued
from time to time or for eight years
and then they were dropped after the
Democratic party was ushered into
power at Washington, D. C.
As Congressman Mason had the cour-
age to stand up in the halls of Con-
gress and tell Congressman HeAin to his
face just what be thought of him and
let him know that he could not be con-
sidered a frst-elass gentleman and
great statesman and as Congressman
Mason is one Of the most loyal friends
Of the Colored race, therefore every
Colored man throughout Illinois should

for his denomination for congressman
