.Brundage
Flags False
Republicanism

Speaking before a large audience
in the Morrison Hotel, Attorney Gen
eral Brundage of the State of Illinois
made a scathing attack on the false
ideals of opposite republican factions
in Chicago. He said that purity,
cleanliness and square dealing were
the essence of Repubicanism, but
that the Thompson-Small-Lundin re-
gime had perverted the ideals and
that the party should be purged.
MIR. Brundage in his official capac-
ity has indicted Governor Small and
promises that no public official shall
be derelict to his duty and violate the
trust that the public has placed in him
and escape the punishment of the
law.
Many members of the black race
turned out to the affair and were en-
lightened by the clean-cut address of
the Attorney General. Some were
heard to remark that Mr.. Brundage
would receive their vote in the here
after, as they were convinced that
clean politics would eventually solve
their civic problems

MINISTER
TO FRANCE, IS
IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK CITY. March l8.-
Georges Sylvan, former Haitian
Minister to France, officer OF the
Legion OF Honor, officer OF Public
Instruction in France. who recently
arrived in New York, today an
nounced he had received word from
his country OF the imprisonment ior
3 monhs al hard labor OF Phiteas
Lemairc, editor OF the Courier Hal
ticn, a newspaper published in Port
au Prince.
In statement issued at the offices
OF the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 70
Fifth Avenue, New York, Mr.. Sylvan
said
"Mr Lemaire, publisher OF the
Courier Haitlen, was tried before a
military court OF the American Oceu-
patton in Haiti on 2lst OF February
of this year and was sentenced to six
months at hard labor and a fine of
$500 on the 4th OF March, for having
received and published news item
telling oi brutal attack upon a cit
izen by a Haitian lieutenant OF Cen
darmerie
"'Thc Courier Haitian, as its only
comment on this story, said it was
difficult to believe such acts could still
be perpetrated in sight and knowledge
OF the entire population Nothing
sent to me in the report of what oc-
Cured before the military court, in
dicates that MIR Lemaire was CON
vinccd that a false rumor had been
spread or that there had been any
refusal on his part to retract in the
event the rumor might prove TO have
been false
The worst feature of the inprison-
ments under martial law in Haiti is
that the officers concerned are both
judges and parties to the trials, and
the hard labor invariably accompany
ing prison sentences has TO be ex-
ecuted in company with the worst
criminals
That is why we insist upon the
immediate abolition of martial law in
Haiti
