CHICAGO

Hon. Patrick J. Carr, Democratic
candidate for reelection for Trustee
of the Sanitary District Of Chicago, in
which capacity he has ably served for
the past six years, was born night here
in old Chicago, September 4, 1880. BE
was the wide awake son Of James and
Bridget (BOlger) Carr, who were well
known to the old-time citizens Of Chi,
eago. As he advanced towards ripe
boyhood he sold newspapers for nine
years, at the same time saving his
money, which was expended to assist
TO educate him, and after completing
his education in the grammar school
in this city, he entered the De La Sale
Institute, finally graduating from it
with high honors.
On August Q, 1905, Mr.. Carr was
happily united in marriage to Miss
Agnes MeAuIey, and they are the
proud Snd happy parents Of one highly
accomplished daughter, Miss Margaret
Cam. They reside in = pleasant home
at S50s 8. Western avenue.
Seemingly it was just As natural for

months after his term as State Treas

Senator Lewis Is trying to create q
race issue in Illinois, as il he had 80
soon forgotten the race riots which
last year disgraeed Chicago and other
cities Of our State. This is not the
Senator Lewis that I have known and

Miabeau seeking to awaken the mob
spirit for his own gloriheatiOn. The
fart that Mavor Thomnaon nandera IN
the criminal classes, both black and

in attempting to ineite race feeling
among the criminal or ignorant whites.
There Is no occasion whatever for
Senator Lewis, in this State Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, crying out in mock heroic
style that this is ga white man s

was a black mans city. Nobody has
given the slightest sign Of a purpose
or desire to make it a black mans
