United States Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, Who Stands
Very Close to President
Woodrow Wilson, Who
Visited the Colored Soldiers
on the Firing Lines in France,
Is Held in the Highest Esti-
nation by All Classes of His
Fellow Citizens.
BY NIB. 8. A. T. WATKINS.

| Suffrage was up in the Senate fol
passage. Senator Hardwiek, Of Geor
gia, introduced an amendment to not in
clude the CoIored women. Senator Lewis
was presiding officer in the Senate at
the time and used his influence against
the amendment and it was defeated.
Besides being responsible for the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. 8. A. 7. Watkins in
the District Attorneys Office, he has
submitted to the Advocate General 8
Office at Washington and is urging the
appointment Of Colored lawyers to be
Judge Advocates. he says that Colored
men are qualified and entitled to the
positions.
The Colored people, as q race, are more
prosperous now than at any time since
the Civil conflict. They have received
the most representative positions under
the government ever accorded them,
such as assistant to the Secretary of War,
Assistant to the Secretary Of Labor,
Judge of Municipal Court at Washing
ton, nominated and confirmed twice by a
Democratic president and Democratic
majority senate respectively, besides
many other positions and most all Of
them ColOred Republicans, which shows
liberality Of the Democrats. Giving
them some support, We certainly would
be benefited.
1t is proven that the time for political
prejudice has passed, and that the name
is not the true measure for fealty-that
We are living in the present, with hopes
for the future, and we cannot live in the
past; that one of the greatest aids to
wipe out the supported problem is to
show true American spirit by being
governed by common sense and reason
and vote for men and measures and not
on memories.
Senator Lewis deserves and is entitled
to the support Of the Colored voters as
wen as all other elements Of American
citizens, by his record, and fair treat
ment to all men. The race win become
stronger when it cannot be judged as a
political unit, but be sought as all
others, BY submission of reasonable and
fair argument and as an indueement, not
be solicited to support men only because |
they are Republicans.

Senator James Hamilton Lewis is q
candidate for Senator to succeed him
self.
Because of health conditions prohibit.
ing public meetings, the Senator may
not be able to reach his constituents in
person.
During the years 1905 and 1907 he
was Corporation Counsel for the City of
Chicago during the administration of
Mayor Edward F. Dunno. While the
support the Colored voters gave the
Democrats did not warrant It, he, how
ever, re-appOinted Mr.. s. A. T. Watkins
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, Mr.. w.
H. Clark, Law Clerk and Investigator,
and gave some special work in his Office
to other Colored lawyers.
He is dean of the Hamilton School of
Law where no suggestion Is made of un-
fair treatment to the Colored student
and many have graduated therefrom.
In 1906, Senator Tillman, Democrat,
was invited to speak in Chicago. Mr..
Lewis, who was then Corporation Coun-
sci, refused to preside and his reasons
were that he did not believe in the ut
teranees Of Senator Tillman on the race
question. He believed that all persons
should be accorded the rights of citizens
and such discussion was contrary to the
American principle of fair play.
The Senator'S record in Congress will
stand investigation.
When an attempt was made to pro-
hibit immigration Of persons from
Africa, Senator Lewis opposed the bill
as discriminating and rejecting upon
the good citizenship Of the Colored eiti-
zens of the United States. When the
question of raise Of pay for the postal
employees was up, Senator Lewis advo-
Gated the raise and supportedit.
In the East st. Louis riot, Senator
Lewis favored q federal investigation
and said that federal control Of such acts
would reduce the crime to q minimum.
When President Wilson issued his ad-
iress and appeal to the American
people to stop the crime of lynching, he
had no more ardent supporter than
Senator Lewis.

/ Of the Tribune.
Lloyd Joined the Socialis. Party in
1906, after his experience in the fight
for municipal ownership of the Chicago
street railways. he has been faithful
member of the party for these dozen
years.
The Socialist Party opposes any rep
resentation where citizens are denied
full opportunity to vote, as is the case
in the South, for example. Such repre-
sentation is undemocratie and unconsti-
tutional, and therefore the Socialist
Party demands full enforcement Of the
Fourteenth Amendment. The Socialist
Party stands for equality Of opportu-
nifty without regard to color or sex. It
Is for equal pay for men and women for
equal work. It is against all differences
Of status, opportunities, education,
duties, obligations and rights.
The Socialists today occupy the same
position as did the AbolitiOnists. The
Socialists are engaged in a new Adolf
ton movement TO hberate all working
men from the bondage and oppression
of concentrated wealth, to establish a
cooperative commonwealth of Industry
and the rule Of the world by the work
ers, and WILLIAM BRoSS LLOYD has
thrown himself reservedly into the most
crucial form of the age-long fight for
freedom.
The mass of Americans do not own
their own means Of livelihsod. They
have no right to work without the con-

termined by the small group who own

William Bross Lloyd inherits much Of
his lighting qualities from his grand
father, william Bross, who was an
AbOIitionist prior to the Civil War
william Bross stumped the State of
Illinois for the original Republican
ticket in 1856, and had the unique honor
of being the only man with courage
enough to make an abolition speech in
Cairo. Also as Lieutenant Governor of
nlinois, he was the first signer Of the
Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton ending Chattel Slavery in America.
his grandson, William BrOss Lloyd, is
working today to end Wage Slavery.
Mr.. Eoyds grand uncle, Colonel
John A Bross, recruited the first Colored
regiment in the Union Army and was
killed at the head of his regiment in the
battle Of Petersburg, Va
Mr.. Hoyd's father, Henry D. Lloyd,
was q friend Of Booker T. Washington
and very much interested in Tuskegee,
Hampton and other schools for Negroes
to which he made numerous donations.
Henry d. Lloyd devoted his life to the
Eight against the evils of plutocratie
control Of government and industry.
William Bross Lloyd was born in 1875,
in Illinois, and has lived in Chicago and
Winnetka throughout his lifetime. To
borrow the keen analysis and phrasing
used BY his father, Henry Demarest
Lloyd, in describing another man, he
was born with that quality of resist
anee to tyranny which fortunately has
always appeared in men when tyranny
appeared, and which the newest tyranny,
that Of wealth, is not going to find alb
sent from its path" He completed his
college and law course at Harvard in
1909, then entered upon the practice
Of law.
William Bross Lloyd inherited his in.
terest in the Tribune from his grand
father, who had merged his anti-slaEery
paper with another paper of the same
sort, The Tribune. The combined paper
was first known as The Press and Trib-
uns, and WA Republican anti-slavsry
paper. 1t has now become the Tribune
and . stsuneh supporter of plutocraey
and wage slavery.
Owning only a minority interest,
Lloyd had no control over the Tribune's
policy, and after being a director few
years. resigned to make clear his alb
solute disagreenent with the Tribune's
policy and 70 free himself from response

TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained A.

AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World 10 Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July |
and October 10 we shipped 6J, 0.3Oj
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237 100000 bushels of wheat and
-four In terms of wheat.
The result of Increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cess,
ton of hostilllles we are able TO re-
turn TO a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia.
Argentine and other hitherto inacceS-
sibie markets may lac tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand Tor American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is whcut enough avail
able to have n white ioaf at the COM
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
und sacrifice were we able to keep n
steady stream of wheat and flour NOV
Ing across he sea. We found our
selves NJ thc beginning of the harvest
year with nm unusually short crop.
Even the nIost optimistic statiSticiunS
i.urch hat we had II bare surplus OF
-'enNoUO bushels And yet Europe

the ugusl important article in the diet.
All .Gf litiS surplus had left the
country early in the fail. by the first
Of The year VIC had managed to ship a
little more than 5O000,00O bushels by
prncticing til" limos economy at
h0mr-hy wheaiIess days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then i;ritish Food Controller, cnbled
that only if we sent mn additional 75,-
o1u,0U0 bushels before July ! could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peO-,
pie was $4,000 600 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January ] and
July |. Ont OF Il harvest which gave
us only 20.0e0,00O bushels surplus W.
actually shipped al, 100000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfil her pledge
that the Allied bread rntions could be
maintained. and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.
