A. l. WILLIAMS HITTING FAST
PACE IN DRIVE FOR STATE
SENATE.
WISE POLITICAL OBSERVERS PRE-
DICT BE WILL WIN OVER
ErTELsoN.
HAS UNPARALLELED RECORD OF
SERVICE.

Augustus L. Williams, prominent law
yer, high in fraternal societies and for.
many years a well known figure in polit.
zeal, business and professional circles, is
candidate for state senator from the
Third Senatorial District Of Illinois. In
the race are also Samuel A. Ettelson.
candidate of the deeaying Second Ward
Republican organization, and Jas. E.
White the "ind" of Oscar De Priest.
Many irritable wounds have these two
corrupt agencies inflicted upon the pee
pie of the Second Ward and the Third
Senatorial District, but 'Father Time"
is the irresistible healer Of all wounds,
and through the splendid medium Of
times revolution represented in Au-
gustus L. Williams, the peoples choice,
q new realm of life is revealed in the
imperative demands that he is making
upon the voters for more and greater
representation in the legislative Iodies
of both state and nation. A true
"ehild" of democracy, he sets its prin-
-eiples afloat with streaming banners sol
EMMY and earnestly calling upon his
people to witness, with clearer under
standing, the message Of progress and
possibility emansting from its source.
-Has Record without Blsmish-
Mr.. williams submits to the perusal
Of the public q record Of continuous
service wholly relieved from any form
of corruption or purpose derogatory to
the moral and intellectual advancement
of his race and is waging his campaign
solely upon the merit voiced in his pub
lished platform 1t seems that our
duty in this very pressing exigeney Is
obviously clear. A democratic govern
ment derives its just powers from the
consent of the governed, and an races
should have, at least in proportion to
their numbers, representation in al
branches of such government. II We
are numerically strong enough to elect
q member Of our race to the state senate
(and statistics show that We are) and
then fail to grasp the opportunity It
amounts to nothing less than . pitiful
travesty of our much boasted accom-
plishments. The time for action Is now;
the future win take care Of itself. And
IN addition to times present offering
comes In the candidacy Of Augustus L
willisms' quality, ability, experience
and fine sense Of appreciation Of what
constitutes wholesome, unsel6sh service
in public capacity. As early - 1895 he
brought honor and distinction to the
race BY being the first to be elected
from the district - alternats delegate

was followed by an endless chain Of new
acquisitions to himself and his people;
but himself least of all as he has in
terested himself more in the welfare Of
others. Mr.. Williams has been instru-
mental, through his influence and per-
sonal contact with high city, county
and state officials in placing q large
number of our men and women in re-
sponsible position under succeeding ad-
ministrations, some branches of which
were hitherto without representation
from amongst US. In the light Of this
long line Of eommendable deeds and the
urgent need Of faithful "watch dog"
to stand guard over our interests while
passing through the turbulent channels
Of legislation and the probability Of q
constitutional revision, can you consci-
entiously cast your ballot on September
the eleventh for any other candidate
for state senator from the third district
than Augustus L. Williams, against
whom no word of iustifyable reproach
has been uttered by neither party nor
faetionf With the same indomitable
viii to do and to die for justice and
right typical of our boys who are forg-
ing the links in the chain Of world de-
moeraey on the CORY fields Of France,
should we exercise in arousing our lat
emit powers to the full possession Of
every rightful claim before. the bar Of
equal iustics and opportunity.
Vote for Step Higher.
A vote for Mr.. Williams is q stagger-
ing blow from the mail fist Of race 10y
atty and unity against the perpetual ex-
ploiters Of . misled but blindly eredu-
lous multitude Of new arrivals in our
community. It is rather to our advan-
tage to promote harmony and concord
among and between the people Of both
races, than to fan the fame Of racial
antipathy into q veritable furnace Of
loathing. Mr.. williams has won the re-
speet and admiration Of hosts Of friends
among the White people as wen as cur
own, which makes for q stronger bond
of brotherhood with he as a represen-
tative in the state senate.

Churches Are Asked
To Curtail Coal Use

Delos W. Cooke, State Fuel Admin
istrator, in letter sent yesterday to
all clergymen in the state, asked that
they limit the consumption of coal this
year to two-thrds of last years re-
quirements.
"Under the present circumstances it
is necessary for the fuel administra-
ton to request the most hearty CO.
operation from every source in order
that the people of the country may be
saved from suffering during the coming
winter" he wrote. "In this connection
the churches can render signal service.
1t is felt that where facilities exist for
using smaller auditoriums, churches re-
ceive coal to the extent of two-thirds
Of their requirements and by the use
Of such smaller buildings for the win
ter, it is felt that the two-thirds supply
will be sufficient for their purpose and
perhaps allow the main church building
to be heated in the spring and fall
when not so much coal is needed"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.--Asscrting

frank Reavis, of Nebraska, gained sud
den oratorical fame in the House this
afternoon. He made a war speech that
evoked cheers and tears.
Mr.. Reavis is one of party of mem
bers Of Congress that has recently re-
turned from France, and he took adj
vantage of the general custom Of talk
ing on everything but the revenue bill.
while 1T is under consideration, to tell
his fellow members something of his
observations, Impressions and conclu-
slons regarding the war. He said in

celved. And yet there IS buoyancy in
the heart of the French people, occa-

nothing that will destroy the morale of

The preparations America has made
IN France, outside of aircraft, are
almost miraculous. Gentlemen, there
are going to be 100000 American
