FIGHT THE WILL OF WHITE
FATHER LEAVING FOR
TUNE TO COLORED
DAUGHTER

Charleston, w. Va.-Legal proceed
ings to set aside the will of Roman
Pickens, anticipated since it was pro-
bated, have been instituted by John
E., his brother, and a bitter fight IS
in prospect for the large estate left
by the decedent to his daughter "out-
side the law"
Pickens, once sheriff Of this-Kana-
wha county-and picturesque figure,
died in December last, bequeathing
his estate to Garnet Pickens, locally
known and generally accepted as his
daughter by colored woman, long
domestic in his household.
The will gave the entire estate.
appraised at 100000, to Miss Garnet,
with directions that she treat with
love and affection the lawful widow,
Mary E. Pickens (white), who holds
legal rights during her life time. 1t
was also directed that she well and
comfortably provide for Cora" the
servant, during her life.
Much common-sense advice was
conveyed to the heiress, a beautiful
young woman, who has since reached
her majority, by the document. 1t
directs her to consult with expert
enced business men in all business
affairs, cautions her never to sign or
endorse any notes and warns her that
she will be the object Of the schemes
Of designing persons. The beneficiary
is also commanded not to sell any of
the real estate until she reaches the
age of thirty years, as the real prop
erty, located in this city and in the
farming sections of this and neighbour
ing counties, rapidly is increasing in
value
II. p. Brightwell. city treasurer and
vice president Of a local trust COM
pany, Of which Pickens was a direc-
tor, was named administrator by the
will and other prominent officials Of
the same institution were appointed
appraisers by the court.
Miss Pickens has had little or no
association with other members Of her
race than her mother, with whom she
lived in the home Of her father on a
farm at Tornado, about IS miles up
Coal river, in white farming settle
ment There being no colored school
and her father being averse or too
CLOSE" to send her away. she, to
those who know her intimately, say,
has had the advantage of only what
little education her parents and an
occasional tutor could give her.

HON. AL F. GoRMAN
Democratic Candidate for City Clerk
of Chicago

Hon, All F. German. who is one OF
the most popular and favorably known
LAWYERS and politicians in this city or
state. was born right here in old Chi
cago in 1875, and he received his edu-
catoin in its public schools.
After emerging from the public
schools he studied architecture at the
Chicago Athenaeum and practiced that
profession for several years with great
success.
Senator German, who always de-
ports himself like highly polished
gentleman, who took to politics as
easily as duck takes to water, in 1900
was elected Supervisor Of the old
Town Of Lake and was reelected in
1901; in 1908 he was elected to the
State Senate from the Fourth Sena-
torial District of Illinois and without
the slightest opposition he was re-
elected in 1912 and 1916, serving all
told IL years, and most of that time he
was the able and far-seeing Democratic
leader Of the State Senate.
His brilliant record as State Sena-
tor caused the Legislative Voters
League to sound his praise in the fol-
lowing manner in 1920:
Senator German IS ending his third
Term with a record which has reflected
credit upon his district He amply de-
serves denomination
For some years Senator German
honorably served as chief clerk in the
County Clerks Office and during that
time he began the study Of law while
serving in that capacity. In time he
graduated from well established law
school and has been successfully en-
gagged IN the active practice Of the
law. During the World War he served
as member of the legal advisory board
for the Seventeen Exemption District.
Senator and Mrs. German are hap
PLY married and with their FIVE bright
and interesting children they reside at
5436 South Morgan street.
There IS one thing that must be
said to the undying credit Of Sen
ator German, who will on Tuesday,
April 5rd. be elected City Clerk
Of Chicago, and that is. as an hon
orable member Of the State Senate
for II years he always boldly voted
against all Jim Grow" legislation
which was introduced into that body.
He always nobly stood with Hon Rob
ert r. Jackson and Hon. S B. Turner
in their bitter fights against Jim Crow
ism" and for his manly stand in that
direction Senator German is justly en-
titled TO receive the votes Of the col
ored people IN his race for City Clerk,
FOR he has proven himself to be true
friend Of the co1ored race.

In the Second Ward Madam Adys
Y. Musgrove, the fashionable cos
tuner, 1874 w. Washington street, has
become the chairman Of the Dever
for Mayor Club of the Second Ward;
Mrs. A. Graves, first vice chairman:
Mrs. NJ. P. Rhambo, second vice

Every hour in the day colored men
and women are joining the Dever for
Mayor Club Of the Second Ward and
without price or the promise OF any
money, Madam Musgrove has become
one Of the most active workers for
Judge Dover for Mayor in the Second
Ward, or in all parts Of the city.
Madam Musgrove frequently visits
the Democratic headquarters, No. 10
N. Clark street. where she has met in
conference with Mrs. William Z.
Dever, Mrs. George E. Brennan, Mrs.
Kellogg Fairbank, Miss Mary Nc

Aldermanic campaign. We have at
stake at this election our good and
worthy friend, Hon. Benjamin S. Will
son, who has been the only Alderman
that has given the colored voters any
consideration whatever. His opponent
IS known as Mr.. Donald S. McKinlay,
who has been Endorsed BY the Demo
Gratis. Don't fool yourself with his
inducements; it is impossible for him
TO ever compete with Alderman VIII
son. In the past few months Alder
man Wilson has succeeded in passing a
sewer system to take care Of the whole
ooiored district Of Morgan Park. he
has had passed in a February Council
meeting an order for all sidewalks to
be taken care of in that district. Al
derman Wilson has a record that IS
known all over Chicago Of being the
best OF any Alderman in the City
Council. There are quite a number
Of other things he has lined up for the
eolored district. 1t would be to the
advantage Of the colored voters to
help re-elect Alderman Wilson in or
der that he might finish his course in
their behalf.
This letter is approved by all OF the
colored leaders of the 10Th Ward,
namely, B. "A. Patton, r. F. Lewis. J.
d. Hill Rev. H. E. Walden, Rev. S.
s. Wesley, and the colored politician
OF the 10Th Ward, known as Mr.. 1. r..

crossroad OF his career here in the
United States; for ages he has had
unwillingly to bear the evils of lynch

etc. While bearing these burdens he
stuck true to the party Of Lincoln
and Douglass and Roosevelt with the
high hopes that faithfulness would
eventually move the hearts Of that
party and its representatives to do
something tangible for him and his
race; he has grown gray hoping, while
the evils visited upon him are increas-

He has seen the reorganization of
his nemesis, the infamous, K. K. X.
He sees the gaunt figure Of "jin-crow-
