Tor both those who built them and
those In whose memory they were

Tradition says these turrets are
the remnants Of a Hindu temple which
dutiful son erected to the memory of
his Gead mother. believing that he
would thereby repay the debt which
he owed to her. When the tempIe
was completed after several years-for
You can even now see Ii was a great

behold. the temple began to lean to-
ward the earth. and was about to fall,
when the pious builder. remembering
his blasphemy. exclaimed: "oh. moth

full, for how can I think Of repaying
my debt to thee" and the fall of the
temple was arrested. but the leaning

cause they were democrats. Some of
the other races, although not 50 large
in numbers, in the Republican ranks
have held cabinet positions because
they have divided their votes and the

Where sediment abides and polit-
zeal prejudice reigns, sane thought

ing in q new, progressive age and
we cannot live in the past on con-
ditions, memories and issues of so
years ago, nor should we vote in Chi
cago, the best city in the country TO
reside, on conditions elsewhere. We
have friends on both sides and it is
not fair to punish friends solely be-
cause they are not members Of our
preferred political party.
We are asking support for the Hon.
Robert NJ. Sweizer on the Democrat
ic ticket because he is worthy, can be
trusted to treat all men alike, and is
entitled to support and more so, for
the principle involved as suggested
therein and ultimate racial benefit
which will flow from dividing our

We appeal to you because of your
