c. Lueder, Republican candidate for
mayor Of Chicago; Mr.. Alexander L.
Jackson, second vice-president Of the
Appomattox Club, in the most elo-
quent manner presented Congressman
Hull to the large number of members
Of the club who were present. Con-
gressman HuIl's speech was right to
the point, highly instructive and very
interesting.
From every point of view Congress
man Hull has always been rightly
classed as a true friend of the col
ored race, as one Of the leading mem
bers of the state senate for many
years from the Hyde Park district,
Senator Hull always worked and
voted against al the Jim Crow"
legislation whicap-=Fas introduced in
the state senate of Illinois.
Only few years ago when many
people residing in the Hyde Park dis
trict greatly enjoyed the pastime
pleasure Of bombing the homes Of
decent and respectable colored people
and Senator Hull attended meeting
in which plans were to be laid to
drive out all the colored people in
the midst of the excitement, commo-
ton and bitter racial feeling, Senator
Hull had the moral courage to stand
up and severely upbraid his old friends
and neighbors and point out to them
that they had no moral right to at
tempt to modest the law-abiding col
ored people in any manner, shape or
form, that decent colored people, like
the decent members of other races,
had the undisputed right to rent and
buy homes wherever they could afford
to maintain them.
The sane and sober talk on the
part of Senator Hull quieted his
friends and neighbors down and from
that time to this bombing the homes
Of colored people has become thing
of the past in the Hyde Park dis
trict.
These are some Of the reasons why
the colored voters should assist to
elect Senator Hull to Congress from
the Second Congressional District of
Illinois.

Hon. Arthur Q. Lueder, Republican
candidate for mayor Of Chicago, who
is a great big-hearted, good-natured
gentleman, who understands how to
make friends with everybody, was
brilliantly introduced by Mr.. David
Hawley, first vice-president of the
Appomattox Club. Mr.. Lueder was
loudly applanded when he rose to
speak and if it had been left to the
members of the Appomattox Club
right there and then Mr.. Lueder
would have been elected mayor of
Chicago.
His splendid and practical speech
appears in full in another column Of
this newspaper.

1917 contributed to him three or FIVE

Col. De Priest from preventing his

in England, Belgium and France.
did you negotiate with coal
miners unions abroad for an agree

Lewis refused also to comment on
the possibilities of a strike in the

agreement expires August /.
Asked directly if the miners
would accept a wage reduction, a

"The miners have gotten out OF

wages"
Lewis has been abroad two and a

he studied facts relating to prices

FARMERS
National Council Denounces
Failure of Administration to
Punish Profiteers.

That a housewives boycott on
sugar should be- necessary in the
situation brought about by gamblers
on the New York Sugar Exchange
is frank admission that the pres.
ent Administration is a failure" ac-
cOrding to the Farmers National
Council, which issued a statement
to, that effect today. The council
doesn't seem to think much of the
boycott method, either.
1.-THE household consumption of
sugar in the United States was
164,69S short. tons more than in
1918 under the so-called restriction
on sugar, than in 1917, when the
lid was off, it is set forth "a
boycott on sugar may seem the only
way to cut down the demand for
an essential, but it is not a practi.
cal method of achieving permanent
results. It is frank admission
that the present Administration is
a failure, and that new methods of
vigorous control of profiteers and
handlers of necessities of life are
essential.
Consumers should not have to pay
such higher prices for farm prod
ucts, If the supply is limited; that
is, If there is shortage. The
producers don't get much more, if
there is a shortage, just as the con-
sumers have not benefited from the
reduction in prices, farmers have
been receiving for their products
during the past three weeks. The
twentieth century demands proven
ton Of Drofiteering and not ges-
lures at furnishing profiteers."
