START HIS BITTER FIGHT ON
MR.. MADDEN IN 1924, AS COL. DE
PRIEST WANTS TO MISREPRE-
SENT THAT DISTRICT IN CON-
GRESS HIMSELF.

/ 1900 or 1902, Congressman Madden
ushered Col. De Priest into the old
Second Ward politics as the right
hand man of the late lamented Major
John c. Bruckner, it will be further
recalled that at that time Col. De Priest
was white washer and that he could
sling more white wash and make as
much mess around on the floors and
SO on as the comnlonest old white
washer in town, and for some years
past it has been very serious ques-
ton in our mind whether or not that
Congressman Madden did not make a
grave mistake in transforming good
white washer into a tricky and un-
reliable politician whose greatest am
bition seems to be to ride around on
the backs of the one hundred and fifty
thousand colored people in this city
and to regard them as his political
slaves, to enable him to rake in thou
sands Of dollars Of easy money at
their expense
There i an old saying that Every
thing is fair in Love, in War and in
Politics If that is true then Col. De
Priest can rest his weary political
bones in peace for the reprehensible
part which he played in 1918, when he
attempted to turn over heaven and
hades in his desperate, shameful effort
to defeat Hon. Martin B. Madden in
his race for Congress from the First
Congressional District Of Illinois. That
cut OF Col. De Priest was the most
unkindest cut of all, for at the time
that Col De Priest was in trouble
with his Democratic friend, Col Mac
lay Hoyne, On the North Side, the
hon. Martin B. Madden gave him his
check for two OF three thousand dol
lars to aid him from being landed in
the pen at Joliet, Illinois. and that was
the reward which Mr. Madden re-
ceiyed from Col De Priest for his
steadfast friendship for him.
AT that primary election, Col. DE
Priest ran the late James Al Scott
against Mr.. Madden and waged a most
bitter fight against him, As Col. De
Priest is past master in the art OF get
ting out circular letters against Demo
cratic or Republican candidates whom
II .1.i, -, control ard those who
fail to fall down on their hands and
knees and dance to his music, and

Of shouters and retainers, distributed

District, stating that Hon. Martin B.

1t might be well to state right here
and now after all that has been said in
the past in relation to Col. Maclay
Hoyne that at no time while he was
supposed to be serving as states at
torney did the writer ever attempt to
work him out Of one thin dime, nor
ever requested him to place q political
advertisement in the columns OF this
newspaper either at his first or second
election for we never regarded Col
Hoyne as being very friendly disposed
towards any class Of colored people
unless he could freely use them to fur
ther his own political ambition and to
tell the real truth we have always
been AFRAID Of him for according TO
our way of thinking Col. Hoyne and
Col. De Priest have long since proven
themselves to be the most cussing and
the most erratic so-called leaders. OF
the white and colored race in Cook
County.
AS States Attorney, Col Hoyne
landed On many Of his friends when
ever he had chance to do so and he
became so raw and wild in conducting
the affairs of his Office and causing
hundreds Of law abiding citizens to be
indicted and never trying them IN
the criminal courts until finally the
citizenship Of this city and county rose
I'D in their might against him and
kicked him out Of Office at the pri-
maries in 1920, and from that day to
this Col. Hoyne has been a dead cock
in the pit in the political world IN Chr
cago.
Let us. retrace. our steps backwards
and very briefly review the wonderful
and We might say tricky and very er-
ratio political career Of Col. De Priest,
who seemingly in the past few years
has gone completely money mad, who
seems TO be ever ready to turn ten or
twenty political summersaults each
day in the year or As long As there i
big barrel of real money in sight.
In our humble, opinion the one black
spot which win always dim Col. dc
Priests political star Of hope, IS the
large amount Of base ingratitude
which he displayed toward Hon. Mar
TN B Madden. who had been his
political father. and made il possible
for him to force his way to the front
In politics until today Col. De Priest
has the brass nerve and ths unrnit-
igated gall to pose as the head leader
OF all the colored people residing IN
this city.
II will be recalled that away back IN

Madden had voted in favor Of a south
ern Jim Grow Railroad Bilr' that
Congressman Madden was an enemy
and traitor to the colored race
Many anti-Madden meetings were
held in all parts Of his district IN which
he was held up to scorn and contempt
and he was referred to BY some Of the
speakers and followers Of Col. De
Priest as old peg leg, gray haired
Martin B. Madden, and as some OF the
followers Of Col De Priest left his
meetings they were 50 wrought up and
heated up that they were good and
ready to kill any white OF colored per-
son who differed with them.
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-06-23

Col. De Priest was so powerful at
that time that all of the colored edi-
tors OF this city failed to have the NOR
al courage to oppose him except the
writer, and the Saturday before the
September primaries in 1913, not an
other race newspaper in this city CON
tanned one line III favor Of the re-
nomination Of Congressman Madden,
but The Broad AK bravely stood by
him to the bitter end.
Shortly after that time Col. De
Priest was ready to crush down and
trample under his big, tricky political
feet all colored persons who refused
or failed to shout for Hon. Martin b.
Madden.
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1923-06-23

All Of the above is self-evident that
Col. De Priest is wild or fiighty; that
he never knows his own political mind
over night; that it is as changeable as
the shifting March winds, and, being
unable to reason from cause to effect
and to arrive at logical deductions, he
is. therefore. one ofethe most erratic
and unsound leaders Of the colored
race in Chicago.
If Col De Priest should live one
thousand years and then some, he will
never be able to rub out that one
black spot which was left on his hand
owing to his cold-blooded treatment
Of Hon. Martin B. Madden.
