The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1920-08-21
Geo. B. Holmes Endorsed
by Cook County Bar Ass n

Hon. George B. Holmes, Judge oil
the Municipal Court, has announced
his candidacy for reelection on the
Republican ticket in the September
primaries. Judge Holmes has served
two years on the Municipal Court
bench and by reason of the impartial
conduct OF his Office has endeared
himself to thousands of members OF
our race His attitude on public
questions affecting our interests has
on numerous occasions so eXemplifed
ITSELF as to give satisfaction and COM
tort in his announcement.
He presents himself to the voters
OF Cook County as Republican who
believes in Republican principles and
Republican ideals and one whose
Americanism cannot be questioned,
He served in the SpanishAmerican
War in Cuba and is we'll acquainted
with many Of the officers of the old
Eighth Regiment who fought at San
tiago. He has submitted his candi-
dacy TO all the voters of the Republi-
can party. asking them to keenly OBJ
serve his record and to assert their
privilege in the exercise of their suf-
rage as uutrammelled American citi-
zens in the coming primaries. His
attitude on the bench vindicates his
right to our support He has stood
for a square deal for every man re-
CARELESS OF race. creed or color.
His disposition to deal fairly with
Us very strikingly and pronouncedly
manifested itself during the unfortu
nate events OF August year ago,
the abatement of which challenged
the best judgment and soberest
thought OF both races. His attitude
towards us has stood the test in
every critical period in which our
racial Interests were at stake. As
race. especially in view OF the fact
that men who stand for fair play and
justice as it affects us are so few, it
behooyes us TO see to it without re-
gard to political factions that those
who jeopardize themselves to the ex-
tent OF seeing that we get fair and
trial in the courts of JUS
tice, should not go unrewarded when
an opportunity presents itself for us
to acquit the debt by our vote He
has been endorsed by the colored
Cook County Bar Association.

1.-THE Limb You're Stand.
ing On"

Bert Williams, accredited by the
largest majority as being the funni-
est man in the world" wrote and used
to sing a song, the burden of which
was the discontinue of one Sam
Johnson, who was out one night in
quest of the gay and festive 'possum.
The Elusive animal had scaled tree
and tried to conceal itself in the
branches. Samuel followed his quar-
ry, but found that the object of his
desires had gotten SO far out on the
limb that closer contact would bring
about a precipitation in which Samuel
himself would participate.
Consequently he sent a small boy
for saw, and when he returned, pro-
ceeded to cut the limb upon which
the opossum had sought asylum.
1t was a dark night and Sam did
not know that he was saving loose
not only the 'possum's refuge, but he
very limb he himself was standing on
He finally dropped, however, and then
the denouement.
Bert Williams applies this to the
Socialistic propaganda now being held
out to the colored people of the coun-
try While reaching out for the vag-
aries that the Socialists at the behest
of the Democrats are promising to
the Negro, those OF the race who at
tempt to saw themselves into realiza-
ton, are really saving the limb they
are standing on" the principles Of
Republicanism.

~ I'M YNIM

Chicago, Aug. "A Democratic
promise, especially when made to the
colorcd race, has ceased to be even a
delusion and snare. Since Woodrow
Wilson's promise, made to Bishop
Walters and twenty-five other dis
tinguished colored citizens in 1912,
was allowed to subside into the
realms OF ordinary demagoguery, the
promises of Democratic candidate,
has grown so completely into con-
tempt that they cease to be made
Many thoughtful people are won-
dering why Governor Cox could not
find a word of encouragement to say
to the twelve millions Negroes, who
form one-tenth of the entire popuIa-
ton of the country, who loaned one
fifth of all they possess to the Gov
eminent in time of stress; among
whom there was not a single con
scientious objector" to the draft; who
never furnished a single case for i'll
vestigation in the espionage activities.
If Governor Cox felt disposition
to say such a word he knew that it
would be out of tune with the har-
mony of the Democratic party
Further than that he knew that if
he said it nobody would believe it.
The Democratic party is founded
primarily upon the conclusion that the
black man has no rights that the
Democratic party is bound to respect.
This has been so clearly established
that it has taken its place as the key
stone of its foundation. Profiting by
Woodrow Wilson's discontinue,
after making a fair promise to the
colored people in 1912, Governor Cox
has probably pursued the line of least
resistance by not making any prom
ises to them at all

Democratic Promises

| He knows that his party will 60
to the electoral college with the votes
OF the solid south carefully packed
and ready for delivery. He knows
that about half OF the constitutional
citizens of that section have been de-
MED the right OF franchise. He knows
that without this solid south, where
political reasoning is so dormant that
there is but one side to the question.
there would be no Democratic party.
He knows that when his party is in
power that this section and the senti-
ment that pervades it will govern the
actions of the executive.
When Bishop Walters and a party
OF representative colored men called
upon Woodrow Wilson in 1912. he
gave them the assurance. unequivocal
and definite, that no discrimination by
the national Government would be
made against any man on account OF
his race.
If Woodrow Wilson had been a Re
publican he could have kept his prom
ise As a Democrat. he could not.
and Mr.. Cox knows that as a Demo
.crat he cannot.
Wilson practiced segregation III eX-
ecutive departments; discharged en-
ployees in prominent positions. and
practiced discrimination such as no
one ever dreamed could be brought
about against any class of citizens.
He submitted himself, bag and bag
gage, to the enemies of the oolored
race and ran true to Democratic
form Governor Cox would do like
wise / he is elected, the Democratic
South will be the biggest factor in the
result and the Democratic South will
have the largest influence in his oon-

Mr.. Chairman, if this amendmen,
is adopted, the Congress of thc
United States will be taking a back
ward step, and | believe that the
American people are not ready for
that sort OF action. The enactment
of the amendment of the gentleman
from Florida (Mr. Clark, if it could
be enforced at all, would require a
probation officer for an freshman. an
other for an Englishman, another for
a Jew, another one for a German. an
other for a Swede, another for Yam
kce, and then would come the ques-
ton of how you would classify a
Yankee. whether he would be classed
as black and white or as black or
white. for | apprehend that these men
who live in the South are Yankees,
If anyone can be so c1assed. They
have been there long enough to be
called Americans, and if anybody in
America can be called Americans
these men certainly can be.
1t is humilating spectacle to wit
ness the Congress of the United
States seeking to enact law to pre-
rvent,-irlhiaa b RAID p4sced
upon child in the District of Col
umbia, and in that law at the same
time attempting to segregate the
races. and saying on the face of the
law that no man can be appointed a
probation officer except he be of the
race with which he is called on to
deal. l have always believed that we
were Americans acting in the Con
gress OF America for America and
Americans, but it does not look like
it. 1t would seem. according to the
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Clark
that we are divided according to
races, and the division is sought to
be made by those who claim to be
Americans speaking for America.
oh, it is a humiliating spectacle to
witness 1t is an outrage upon the
sentiments of the American people to
have such an amendment proposed,
to say nothing of its being adopted
If we were dealing with the question
of what was to be done with the peo-
pie of Florida, that might be one
thing, for they have views that they
may have right to express, perhaps,
within the borders of their own State,
but | presume to say that we are
speaking for all the States of the
Union, and not for Florida, and not
for the States south of the Mason and
Dixon line any more than for those
north of the Mason and Dixon line.
When we seek, on the floor of this
House to restrict the rights of Ameri-
cans we go beyond our constitutional
privileges. | thought the war of 1861
to 1906 settled the question of what
American rights were, but it seems
not, for the spirit of secession seems
