Hon. James F. Fardy, Democratic
c..ldidate for Judge Of the Superior
Court of Cook County, was born in
this city forty-three years ago, and he
resides with his family at 3423 Franklin
boulevard in the new 18th Ward,
which was the old 14th Ward,
He is President Of the 18th Ward
Democratic Organization and has been
for a number of years. He graduated
from the Chicago Kent College of Law
in 1907 and has been in continual
practice of law ever since.
Fran 1912 to 1916 Mr.. Fardy was
the Chief Examiner of land titles under
the Torrens System under Joseph F.
Connery During Mr.. Fardy's con
nection with the Torrens System of
Cook County he was instrumental in
having millions Of dollars Of property
registered under the Torrens System
and addressed all Of the various real

amounting to approximately $4,000,
in addition to court costs, lawyers
fees and expert fees. The city would
also have been obliged to pay judg-
ments for the land taken, amounting
to upward of $l5O,0OO.
The people of the Calumet region
all agree that this was one Of the out
standing features Of the Thompson
administration
Mr.. Wolff resigned as a member of
the Board of Local Improvements in
May, 1922. Mayor Thompson re-
fused to accept his resignation until
the month of August, 1922, when he
became real estate director for the
sanitary district Of Chicago, which
position he held until December 5,
when he was elected coroner of Cook
county.
After taking Office and carefully
studying the records Of the Office Of
coroner, he concluded that the num-
Der of deaths by automobiles was
appalling and started a campaign
against reckless and careless driving
and unnecessary auto deaths, effect
ing per cent decrease in the num-
Der of such deaths in this county, in
stead of the usual Is per cent in
crease annually heretofore. To ac-
complish this he visited the principal
eastern cities with staff of news

ing information to be used in framing
a law which would make the streets

law was framed and introduced in
the legislature where its passage was
opposed by the Chicago Automobile
Club and Lee O'Neil Browne, one of
the oldest members of the House Of
Representatives. This bill was framed
after the Massachusetts, law. and il
spite Of the fact the legislature was
shown the records of Boston, Massa-

terest aroused to gather quorum in
any committee meeting and the bill
was killed in committee.
During the first three and one-half
months of this year Boston had two
auto deaths and Chicago had one
hundred and eighty-one; the entire
State Of Massachusetts, had hfty-two
such deaths and Cook county had one
hundred and ninety-two during the
same period. New York had less
auto deaths than Chicago with twice
the number Of cars.
During the past ten years Mr..
Wolff has been engaged in the real
estate business, dealing only in indus
trial sites in the Calumet region He
has been a republican all his life, j.
a member of the Hamilton Club. the
Masons. the Woodmen of America
and numerous other societies and
clubs, was delegate to the Consti-
tutional Convention from his district
and has always taken an active inter
est in public affairs and questions
concerning the public welfare. He
resides with his wife and one son and
daughter at l061l Avenue Fl, South
Chicago.
It must be said to the everlasting
credit Of Coroner Wolff that for go
years prior to his advent into the
coroner's Office there was not one
coiored man who was thought to be
good enough to serve in any capacity
in that office, but being broad and lib
eral minded, Mr. Wolff had no more
than settled down in his new and re-
sponsible Office before he had the man
iy courage to select a bright and up-to-
date colored man in the person Of Mr..
E. M. Cleaves as deputy coroner Of
Cook county.
That is one reason why the colored
men and women voters in this city
and county should, on Tuesday, No
venber 6, fall irf line for Mr.. Wolff
and assist to put him over the plate
for coroner Of Cook county.

Hon. Oscar Wolff, Republican can
didate for reelection as coroner OF
Cook county, was born in the great
city Of Chicago in 1875 and has re-
sided in it from that time to the pres
ent, or, in other words, he has spent
all of his life in the city of his birth.
At the early age Of thirteen,
owing to the death Of his father, he
was forced to quit public school in or
der to assist in the support Of his three
younger brothers. To improve his ed
ucation during this period he was
given private lessons by the Reverend
Galpin and Professor Clintock at
night.
Until he was twenty-five years old
he worked as a clerk and at that time
went into the dry goods business.
selling his interest in the firm in 1911.
He served as chairman Of the Com
mittee on Streets and Alleys on the
Board Of Local Improvements Of the
CITY Of Chicago for seven years-the
most important committee on the
board, and is the only member who
has served so long period since the
organization Of the board.
His most important accomplish
ment during this period was the open
ing up of three main thoroughfares
On the south side Of the city by nego-
tiations with property owners without
any expense to the city whatever,
namely Ewing avenue from South
Chicago to Hegewisch, Terrence
avenue from South Chicago to the
city limits and 103d street from Tor
renee avenue to Cottage Grove ave-
nue. across Lake Calumet.
For a period Of twenty years the
citizens OF the Calumet region urged
city officials to open up these thor
oughfares and over twenty improve
ment associations went on record
begging and pleading for said relief.
The usual procedure would have been
court condemnations, which would
have involved fees for commissioners

System, which is a County guarantee,
increased in favor with the people. Mr..
Fardy has always argued that the own
ers Of real estate should not be obliged
to pay large sums Of money to private
corporations in order to show title to
the property which they own.
In the past Mr. Fardy, has ably
served as Assistant States Attorney Of
Cook County and won a very great
reputation as a painstaking and able
lawyer.
Mr.. James H. Randle, who has the
distinction of being the first colored
man to serve as one Of the attorneys
for the Board Of Local Improvements,
is an old time friend Of Mr.. Fardy and
Hon. p. "A. Nash and Mr.. Randle, re-
sides in their ward, the new 18th Ward,
and as Mr. Fardy can always be
counted upon for his friendship for the
colored people, Mr. Randle and thou
sands of other colored people will on
Tuesday, November 6. cast their votes
for him for Judge Of the Superior
Court Of Cook County.
