Member of the City Council from the Old 31st Ward Who Win Be
Reelected from the New 18th Ward Tuesday, February
~, 1923.

Hon. Scott NJ. Hogan. who has be-
come one of the we'll and favorabIy
known citizens of Chicago and one OF
its honest and Straightforward law
yers, was born in Ohio in 1879, and he
has resided in this city since 1902.
He graduated with high honors from
Blanchester (Ohio) High School and
Illinois College of Law degree
.LL.B0: admitted to practice in 1908
and engaged in the general practice
of law ever since. He served as a
member of the Legal Advisory Board
of the 73rd District during the World
War. He also served as Assistant
Corporation Counsel of the City of
Chicago from 1917 to 1919; was elect
ed alderman of the old 3lst ward in
1919, and reelected in 1921. He is a
member of the Chicago Bar Asocia-
ton, is married, and has resided at
64l8 Loomis boulevard for the past
twelve years.
Alderman Hogan, aside from look
ing after the physical and sanitary
conditions in his ward, honoring every
reasonable request or demand made
upon him by his many constituents, at

European countries. Aid. Maypole
championed the fight against high
rents and his vote stands recorded in
favor of the ordinance which COM
pels landlords to provide sufficient
heat during the winter months.
Having intimate knowledge OF the
conditions surrounding the colored
people of Chicago, Aid. Maypole has
openly fought their cause at every
opportunity and it was he who backed
up Alderman Anderson on the hoor
of the city council to force the mu-
nicipality to pay thousands OF dollars
in property damages incurred by the
south side race riots in 1919. Aid
Maypole voted to pay these claims
without forcing the property owners
TO enter expensive litigation in the
courts.
Like his father, the late Aid. VIM I.
Maypole, who for many years was a
member of the city council, Aid May
pole has taken leading part in all the
activities of that body and his present
fight to force the railroads to elevate
their tracks is arousing much interest
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1922-12-23

The same time handling hundreds of
personal matters for the people resid-
ing in his ward, has always voted right
in the city council. He is upright, in
dustrious and fearless in the perform
ance OF his duty to the people of the
ward that he represents and the peo-
pie OF the City of Chicago.
1t can further be truthfully said to
the great credit OF Alderman Hogan
that at all times in the City Council
he has always stood by the colored
people and that he has always will
ingly voted for everything which was
intended to aid them in any way.
1t was Alderman Hogan who Sc
cured the permits to construct the new
Mt. Carmel c. NJ. E. Church and the
new ST. Johns A. N. E. Church in
Englewood, and as Alderman Hogan
who alws--s conducts himself as a
hrst-class gentleman, has always been
a warm friend of the colored race, it
is safe to predict that every colored
man and woman residing IN his ward
will vote in favor of his reelection

has become of the case of John
Kane, alias George Lasky, the young
man who late last summer was i'm
personating State Highway Police
on the Ellsworth Bangor road and
on the Augusta Portland road.
II have just received word from
the clerk of courts Of York county
that this man has been sentenced to
a term OF not less than two or more
than four years in the States Prison
on the charge Of the larceny of an
automobile at Old Orchard. The
United States officials wanted this
man badly and as soon as he serves
his sentence here he will probably
be turned over to the government
"One of our officers at the time
complaints were coming into this
office was hot on his trail. He fol-
lowed him into Portland when he
lost track of him. Through the de-
scription which our officer gave to
the Portland police he was captured
at Portland. 1t was found that he
was badly wanted in York county
and he was therefore turned over
to the Old Orchard police We have
warrant out for him for obtaining
money under false pretenses, but by
the time we, get around to him he
will probably have received all the
punishment that is coming to him."
