Those statements on the part Of
Messrs. Brewington, Brown and Har-
per sounded mighty good to the Dem
ocratic leaders of Cook County and Il
is contended that the bosses of the
Democratic party promised Messrs.
Brewington, Brown and Harper, if
they could deliver ten thousand col
ored votes to the Democrats in the
Second Ward, that in case the Demo
Gratis won out that they would be al
lowed two positions which would pay
not less than two hundred per month
which would enable them to run the
plain double dealer and keep it alive
and in line for the contest for mayor
in 1919, and il was further understood
so it is maintained that the Democrats
paid a printing bill which had been
contracted with the Western News
paper Union amounting to almost six
hundred dollars and that the Demo
Gratis set aside one hundred dollars
each week to assist Messrs Brewing
ton, Brown and Harper to continue
to publish their plain double dealer.
The wise Democratic bosses also
ooughed up two hundred dollars in
real money which they say was
showed over to Col Brewington which
enabled him to make his famous trip
to Washington, d. c. where he scat
tered whole lot of red paint around
that sleepy old town and on his ar
rival in Chicago the plain double
dealer wheeled into line for Hon
James Hamilton Lewis for United
States senator from Illinois.
1t was also further agreed or I'M
derstood that MessrS Brewington,
Brown and Harper were not to run
the cuts of any Of the white republi-
can candidates in the columns of the
plain double dealer prior to that cleo
ton and when it or the plain double
dealer made its appearance Saturday,
November 2, it contained the cuts of
% Democratic candidates for the vari-
Gus Offices in this city and county. It
also contained the cuts of Judge
Brassa and rough and ready Col
Charley Ringer. Then the boss Dem
ocrats unbosomed themselves of some
tall cussing or swearing and after the
votes had all been counted in the Sec
ond Ward when il was figured out
that Messrs. Brewington, Brown and
Harper had utterly failed to deliver
ten votes to them instead Of ten trou-
sand The head Democrats eussed so
long and loud that Il was no troubie
to hear their echoes ten thousand

1t won't do any harm at this point
to shed little light on the past dou-
bic dealing and double crossing polit-
ical career of Col Brewington as it
will make mighty interesting reading.
1t must still be borne in mind that
Col. Brewington attended the Repub-
ican State Convention at Springfield
Illinois in September, 1913 where at
that time he was still posing as Re-
publican on the surface but under the
cover he held himself out as a ram
pant Democrat According to his own
statement which he has frequently re-
lated to his friends, he brazenly walk
ed up in front of Hon. Medill McCor-
mick and after informing him that he
was awfully hungry for some money
and he then and there boldly ran his
Shiny fingers into the vest pocket Of
Mr.. Mccormick and extracted fifty
dollars from it.
At that same time while attending
the Republican State Convention, Col
Brewington, who is almost unable to
look an honest person straight IN the
eye, was elected State Organizer of
the Colored Republican Medill Nc
Cormick League of Illinois and not

braced in said district are during the
entire year entirely covered by water
and the remaining portion thereof is
covered during a large portion of the
year with water, and are during the
remainder of the year Doggy and wet

to impair the health of the residents
residing in the vicinity and to inter

such persons, and by reclamation of
said lands they will become highly

of such drainage district and the plan
proposed is a proper and advantag-
